"I would like to personally welcome you on behalf of the economic department of the city of Donetsk." A pot-bellied head of the Donetsk economic department nodded to Zhong Bai with a smile and said, "I don't know what the market is like for this new product you are preparing to produce this time?" ”

He had already checked the relevant formalities of the other party, and made special contact with the Moscow side, and learned that Zhong Bai and they were indeed here to find a manufacturer, and the person in charge named Kazaev immediately released goodwill.

After all, the economic development of the whole Ukraine has not been very good in the past two years, and Donetsk, the fourth largest city in the country, feels that life is becoming more and more difficult because of the loss of Donbass coal mines, and the foreign policy of the whole country does not encourage foreign economic exchanges, Kazaev has not had a good time recently.

But at this stall, a group of Chinese businessmen suddenly came, and they also named themselves to find a machinery factory in Donetsk to OEM a new product, this kind of good thing actually let themselves touch, then Kazaev naturally will not put on any more scores, but want to quickly see how strong the other party really is.

Zhong Bai also noticed that the attitude of the city's officials was different from the Kharkiv city they had been to before, and replied with a smile: "Please rest assured, the market for this product is very widespread. If I'm not mistaken, the Donbass coal mine in your city should have the largest proven reserves among the three major coal fields in Ukraine, right? It's a big market! ”

"You're right, our Donbass coal mines are a precious treasure for the whole of Ukraine and the Soviet Union!" At the mention of the Donbass coal mines, the proud expression on Kazaev's face also appeared, but after a moment it was fleeting, clouded with a faint layer of worry: "But ...... The situation of the large and small mines in the Donbas coal mines has not been good in the past two years, and they have been in a state of loss, and the amount of funds for the purchase of new equipment may not be sufficient......"

"I can understand your concerns, but this DWX35-180/100X hydraulic strut is revolutionary for the improvement of underground coal mining technology, which I don't want to brag too much, after all, there are no products out yet, and when the first batch of products comes out and we need to find trial mines, we will talk about the next step." Zhong Bai smiled and said, "In short, thank you very much for your welcome and support to us today. ”

Zhong Bai's pragmatic attitude still gave Kazaev a lot of confidence, after all, Zhong Bai's first impression after meeting him was that he was a relatively low-key and pragmatic person, and every sentence was very focused, unlike those officials and men from Moscow who ran the train with their mouths, at least they knew about Donetsk, in Kazaev's opinion, Zhong Bai still did enough homework.

"You need me to recommend a few machine factories that can take orders, right? If you are looking for time, this Udier mining equipment manufacturing plant in our city should meet your requirements, do you need me to help you contact you first? Kazaev quickly gave a clear answer.

Zhong Bai nodded and said, "Yes, then trouble Mr. Kazaev." ”

Since everyone arrived in Donetsk at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Kazaev helped Zhong Bai and them make an appointment to meet at 9 o'clock in the morning with the Udir mining equipment manufacturing plant.

After this matter was finalized, Zhong Bai felt a lot more at ease, and Yu Dongfeng offered another Chinese cigarette as a personal thank you to Kazaev, and the other party immediately smiled from ear to ear.

Back at the hotel, Zhong Bai briefly told everyone about his dealings with local officials today, and everyone's spirits were lifted.

Obviously, the city of Donetsk is more welcoming to the group than the previous city of Kharkiv, and based on this situation, the likelihood of successful cooperation naturally increases significantly.

What's more, now the DWX35-180/100X hydraulic strut has also applied for a patent from the Swiss Patent Office, which is a reason to make Zhong Bai's waist rod straighter, at least when he took out the patent certificate when he met with Kazaev today, the suspicion on the other party's face was immediately much less, which was seen by the two of them.

"Zhong Bai, you don't know what you are doing, how can you suddenly come up with an alternative place like Donetsk?" When everyone exchanged information about the same, Wu Xiaoping couldn't help but raise the question in his heart.

It stands to reason that the last time Zhong Bai was in Switzerland, it really opened everyone's eyes, and Wu Xiaoping did not hesitate to label Zhong Bai as a "master of the Western world" in his heart, but this time it was different, it was the Soviet Union, which was completely opposite to the Western world.

"Do you want me to be honest?" Zhong Bai smiled.

"Of course." Wu Xiaoping nodded.

"Actually, I didn't expect the difficulties I encountered in Kharkov at the beginning, and all this was the result of improvisation." Zhong Bai generously said the reason: "The main reason is that we didn't have a choice at the beginning, and that Ivanov only gave us permission to enter Kharkiv, but the Kharkov gang didn't look like they were asking for help, even if we talked to them about how wonderful the prospects for cooperation were, they didn't want to." ”

"The most critical point is that there are no coal mines in Kharkiv, but Donetsk has, and the Donbass coal mines in Donetsk have been losing money year after year in recent years, which is a good entry point, and as far as I know, the big cities in the entire Ukraine, Donetsk's attitude towards foreigners should be the best, their public security is also very good, and the people are simple.

"I think it's a waste for you to study chemical engineering, to be honest, if you hadn't gone abroad this time to ask your Department of Industry for instructions, I really want to suggest that our Provincial Foreign Affairs Office get you a special foreign affairs training course, and get you to work in our unit in the future!" After hearing these words, Wu Xiaoping, in addition to his admiration for Zhong Bai, felt that it was a waste for him to work in the industrial mouth.

"Haha, don't mention this brother again, let's get the matter in front of us done first." Zhong Bai turned his head to the two new members and ordered: "Brown, Ricky, according to the schedule, we will go to the Udier factory tomorrow morning to contact, and now that you have joined, then I will arrange tomorrow's work first." ”

"Please." The two have been cleaned up by Zhong Bai, and they have long lost the sense of arrogance they had when they first met.
