Zhong Bai got straight to the point and said: "Well, this is incidental, mainly because I went to visit a unit yesterday, and I want to find an opportunity to report to you, otherwise I will violate organizational discipline." ”

As soon as he heard this, Lu Xudong raised his eyebrows, and his face immediately became serious: "By the way? Visited a unit? ”

"That's the ......" Zhong Bai unhurriedly told the story of going to the "Oriental Times" to change foreign exchange and repay the loan, as well as his suggestion that the other party should start this delegation trip abroad, and also took the initiative to mention that President Li Nanxin proposed to donate an IBM personal electronic computer in the name of the newspaper due to the needs of scientific research.

Of course, Zhong Bai vaguely brought over the advertising and the matter of re-insigning the deputy director of the Swiss Patent Office Alden to help them sign the contract.

"Hey, I think you're brave enough!" After listening to Zhong Bai tell the whole story with great difficulty, Lu Xudong was actually quite shocked in his heart, after all, in his opinion, Zhong Bai's courage was inevitably a little bigger, and he had to press it first: "But why do I feel that you don't feel like an ordinary report, but a bit of an afterthought?" ”

Lu Xudong's statement was naturally expected by Zhong Bai.

After all, this is a leader who is currently serving as the deputy director, and unlike a retired director like Sun Guangshi, he contacted the "Oriental Times" before reporting to the organization and offered to let the other party report, which did seem a bit out of place in 1981.

But Zhong Bai didn't mean to contradict the other party, but smiled slightly: "Director Lu, in fact, I will definitely have a good thing in the follow-up by doing this, but it is just to reduce the risk to you and the hall." ”

"There must be something good in the follow-up? Reduce the risk to me and the office? Lu Xudong was a little confused: "How do you say this?" ”

Zhong Bai replied unhurriedly: "You have also learned about the 3702 patent in detail, and it is not difficult to see that it should set off a boom in the purchase and transfer of use rights around the world in a short period of time, which has a positive impact on me personally, on our provincial department, and even on the whole country, not to mention how to follow up the domestic publicity and reporting, but we did not talk about how to deal with foreign media publicity and reporting before we came out this time, so I took the opportunity to exchange foreign currency, and just did this matter. I also firmly believe that after this matter is reported by the "Oriental Times" and gradually fermented in the West, it will bring a lot of benefits to our hall in the future, so I decided to contact this Chinese media first without reporting in advance. ”

This explanation made Lu Xudong not respond immediately, but began to ponder quietly.

After a few minutes, his frowning brow slowly relaxed, and the expression on his face gradually changed from doubt to clarity, until his eyes finally lit up.

Lu Xudong figured it out!

Zhong Bai: This is indeed the truth!

It is a fact that brooks no doubt that we should not just bow our heads and ignore propaganda at any time in our work, because then the results of our work will be reduced.

Of course, the propaganda in China naturally has the relevant propaganda departments and provincial departments in charge, which Zhong Bai is not wrong at all, it is not difficult for Lu Xudong to be keenly aware from Zhong Bai's words, it seems that Zhong Bai attaches great importance to the foreign media's reports on the 3702 patent application, and wants to establish a positive image through the reports of foreign media, not to mention him personally or the matter itself, it is a very novel and bold idea!

"I roughly understand what you mean." Lu Xudong pondered his words: "I personally agree with your view that the report itself has a positive impact, but just find a random newspaper for them to report, and you are sure that this will definitely achieve the effect of positive publicity?" But don't forget that our country has only been reforming and opening up for a few years, and I am afraid that the West has not treated us so kindly in recent years. ”

"That's nature. Needless to say, in the past few years, it is estimated that for a long time the West's reports on us may not be so objective and kind. Zhong Bai nodded and said: "But this is also a position of public opinion, if we don't fight for it, will it automatically turn?" No, I don't think so. Only by recognizing this reality and actively working to influence it through our own actions to make it go in our favor is positive energy. ”

"Positive energy?" Regarding Zhong Baiyi's new noun that accidentally appeared, Lu Xudong was stunned again.

"Hmm...... It's a positive, positive effect. Zhong Bai hurriedly explained: "This is just the beginning, but as long as the initial propaganda is done well and we have won the public opinion position of the West, then they will not look at our country's industrial innovation technology in the future with that kind of colored glasses, this is what I really want to express." ”

"The idea is a good thing." With Lu Xudong's identity as a deputy director, he naturally understood the true meaning of Zhong Bai's words, and nodded in approval.

That's why I chose to reach out. But don't worry, this "Oriental Times" is a media run by overseas Chinese, and the president is also a patriotic and authentic overseas Chinese, and their report must be positive, so I dared to make a request to President Li Nanxin without reporting to you in advance, and she readily agreed. Zhong Bai blinked his eyes and said.

"It's good that you have this big idea, but it's not always easy." Lu Xudong pondered for a moment and said: "Well, strictly speaking, this is not a violation of the organizational principle, after all, it is your personal patent, and it is reasonable for you to contact the newspaper sponsored by overseas Chinese and ask them to make positive publicity on this matter in the Western world, as for whether it is reasonable...... There is no similar precedent in our country. ”

This is a bit of an initiative to help Zhong Bai untie the trap, of course Zhong Bai also understood what the other party meant, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, this matter is like a daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws - sooner or later, although the result must be good according to Zhong Bai's expectations, but if it is really done quietly, and finally Lu Xudong, the Department of Industry and even the Ministry of Industry are surprised, it will inevitably seem a little too presumptuous, at least now Lu Xudong's opinion is basically agreed, then it is OK.

Seeing that Zhong Bai just nodded and smiled and didn't say anything more, Lu Xudong thought for a while and asked, "That's it, nothing else?" ”

In fact, the reason why Zhong Bai wanted to take the initiative to report was the problem after the IBM computer was in hand, seeing that Lu Xudong was pretending to be confused, he immediately replied: "Of course, there is also the little thing that followed." ”

Seeing Zhong Bai's sly eyes, Lu Xudong immediately smiled knowingly and asked, "I'm afraid that little thing is the key, right?" I'm guessing if it's what you just mentioned, donating that one...... What about personal computers? ”
