"This is no longer something that our planning department can decide." Qi Xiu seemed to have been prepared for this topic for a long time, and after letting out a faint sigh, he silently glanced out the window, and then said: "Later, at the meeting, Xudong, you can bring it up and see what Minister Xiang has to say." ”

"Hmm." Lu Xudong saw that Qi Xiu was not ready to accept the move, so he simply stopped the topic.

The Minister Xiang in Qi Xiu's mouth is the convener of today's meeting - Xiang Pan, who is also the third deputy minister in the Ministry of Industry of China.

Although he is not as powerful as the second-ranked executive deputy minister, Xiang Pan is also a high-ranking person in the Ministry of Industry, after all, he is the third-in-command.

For such a small matter as a Sino-foreign joint venture machinery factory, the reason why the ministry wanted to send Xiang Pan, the third-in-command, to summon everyone to a meeting was to put on an attitude of attaching importance to new things.

"Xiao Zhong, what about you?" Qi Xiu suddenly turned his head and asked, "Tell me what you think about this matter." ”

Zhong Bai thought that he had stopped just now, but he didn't expect that the one who should have come still came.

However, he was not stage frightened, after all, it was not the first time he had contact with Director Qi, so he responded generously: "What kind of views does Director Qi want to hear?" ”

"Oh, good boy!" Qi Xiu didn't expect Zhong Bai's answer to be this, and said with a smile: "Anything is fine!" Well, you're in the technical department, so let's talk about your views on the technical side first. Like what...... Joint venture machinery manufacturing technology, what do you think is the future development of this direction? ”

In this direction, Zhong Bai can be said to have his hands on it, and immediately replied without thinking: "In the short and medium term, the joint venture factory construction is definitely a shortcut that can quickly improve the manufacturing technology of China's hydraulic pillar products!" ”

"Why do you say that?"

"Because in this area, North America does not attach much importance to it, and the countries that currently master the world's most advanced technology are basically concentrated in Europe, while our China is promoting the increase in economic and trade exchanges with the European Community year by year." Zhong Bai opened the conversation: "Although almost all of the equipment of the new machinery factory was purchased from the Soviet Union and Ukraine this time, the main technical personnel are from Western European countries, and they can quickly and efficiently pull this piece up, so that the run-in production time of the new machinery factory can be shortened." As long as qualified and high-quality finished products can be produced as soon as possible, it will inevitably promote the investment of relevant domestic enterprises in this area, so as to comprehensively promote the upgrading of China's hydraulic pillar product manufacturing technology. ”

These words suddenly made Qi Xiu's eyes light up!

This kid, how did he know that relevant domestic enterprises were also secretly investing resources in the production technology of single hydraulic pillars?

At present, there are very few people in the ministry who know about this matter, and Qi Xiu can be sure that it is impossible for Tianhe Province to get the news in advance.

But Zhong Bai has clearly pointed it out in a few words, and this insight and forward-looking ability are not strong!

But Qi Xiu didn't plan to ask about this, because he couldn't steal the show by discussing this topic in depth with the minister's meeting later, so he picked out a point from Zhong Bai's answer and continued to ask: "Why do you emphasize that it is in the 'short and medium term'?" Is it possible that in this area, it is not possible to build a joint venture factory for a long time? ”

"After all, there is foreign investment in this road, and the purpose of foreign capital is very simple, they are not to promote the development of China's related industrial technology, but to do it with the nature of capital - that is, to seize the market, chasing profits to do this, but in the initial stage it does objectively contribute to our technological development." Zhong Bai naturally knew the bloody lessons of countless industries in his previous life, and said: "Only by firmly grasping the core manufacturing technology and links in our own hands can we improve the value-added profits of products manufactured by our domestic manufacturers in the future, so as to control the high profits of the upstream." ”

"Hiss~!" Hearing this explanation, Qi Xiu couldn't help but gasp: "Xiao Zhong, do you think that in the manufacture of single hydraulic pillars, we Huaguo will have to wrestle with those Western European powers in the future?" ”

Zhong Bai nodded calmly and said, "Of course!" When they see the huge demand in the Chinese market, even if we don't want to, foreign manufacturers will rush in to monopolize it, and we are just laying out in advance. ”

This obviously touches on Qi Xiu's knowledge blind spot, even if he is the current director of the Planning Department of the Ministry of Industry, he can't predict what will happen in ten or twenty years!

If it weren't for Zhong Bai's previous successful organization of MD Company's contract with a total value of up to $24 million, Qi Xiu would definitely feel that this kid was drunk today.

But in the face of such a serious Zhong Bai, Qi Xiu could only accept this concept, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Xiao Zhong, you can't use such a terrifying statement at the meeting later, the field in charge of the minister also involves domestic and foreign industrial development, you have to reorganize the language......"

This hint came very tactfully, after all, love is earnest, Qi Xiu knew that Zhong Bai had never seen Minister Xiang before, and he didn't want his first impression in front of the big leader to be discounted because of his speech.

Lu Xudong patted his head at this time and said, "Hey! There are still more than ten minutes to go, and Lao Ma hasn't gone there yet, Director Qi, let's go to his office first. Little bell, let's go! ”

Lu Xudong realized that after all, there was another bag of local products specially given to Ma Yingsheng, and it would be ridiculous and generous to carry it in his hand if he didn't give it out until the meeting!

The atmosphere in Ma Yingsheng's office is much more relaxed, after all, he is just a deputy director at the meeting for a while, and there are also directors and deputy ministers, so after putting down the local products, everyone is mainly idle now, and almost no business is discussed.

"Hey, I'm talking about Xudong." Ma Yingsheng remembered something after chatting for a while: "The Swiss Ministry of Industry recently sent a letter to our ministry, saying that a group of personnel will be sent to Tiandu next month to inspect and exchange...... Did you get any news from you in advance? ”

"The Swiss Ministry of Industry?" Lu Xudong was also shocked when he heard the news, obviously the second monk was confused: "No! I haven't heard of it at all, but what is it exactly? ”

"I didn't say it. Didn't I ask you? ”

Because the two of them have the same job level, their tone is much more casual when they speak, Ma Yingsheng simply asked with a wide-eyed look.

After pondering each other, the two turned their heads almost at the same time, looked at Zhong Bai, who had been "invisible" for a long time on the side, and said in unison......

"Xiao Zhong, did you do this again?"
