Chapter 7 The wrong direction from the start
Metallurgy Hall Guesthouse, in the luxurious suite where Luo Xiangfei lives.
The others were sent away by Luo Xiangfei. Feng Xiaochen was the only one sitting on the single sofa facing Luo Xiangfei. Luo Xiangfei sat on the sofa, looking at Feng Xiaochen with interest, and kept secretly appalled in his heart.
If it were someone else, facing a ministry leader who was seven or eight levels higher than him, even if he was not afraid, he would at least be a little nervous. Feng Xiaochen was fine. He pretended to be a bit restrained on his way to the guesthouse in the car in the Metallurgical Hall. When Guo Hua had just left and only Luo Xiangfei and him were left in the room, his expression was completely relaxed, as if he often talked and laughed with leaders of this level.
"Do you smoke?" Luo Xiangfei took out the cigarette box and signaled to Feng Xiaochen.
"No, thank you Director Luo." Feng Xiaochen waved his hand.
"I heard from Director Liu that you can smoke." Luo Xiangfei said.
Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "You can smoke, but smoking in front of you is not suitable."
However, a child who knows how to be sensible, Luo Xiangfei's evaluation of Feng Xiaochen is a little better. With Feng Xiaochen's status, being neither humble nor arrogant in front of Luo Xiangfei reflects a kind of confidence. But if you hold a cigarette in your mouth, you will be too frivolous.
Luo Xiangfei did not persuade him anymore. He lit a cigarette himself, took a few sips, and then said, "Xiao Feng, tell me what you can do."
"What can I do?" Feng Xiaochen thought for a while and smiled slightly, "It's really hard to say. What my grandfather knows, I know what I know, but the others won't be."
"Wow, what a big tone!" Luo Xiangfei almost choked by cigarettes. "Old Feng has used what he learned for decades, and you have learned it after only four or five years after he has learned it?"
Feng Xiaochen said: "Of course it's not as proficient as grandpa, but I should understand some things in general. Grandpa used to learn by himself. I had my grandpa's guidance, so I learned faster."
"I remember Mr. Feng understands the languages of five countries. How many countries do you know?" Luo Xiangfei asked.
"English, German, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish are also five countries... By the way, it's not considered Chinese." Feng Xiaochen said. Feng Weiren had said in front of his grandchildren in the past that he knew several foreign languages, and these foreign languages were exactly what Feng Xiaochen knew in his previous life. In the 21st century, the threshold for access to people is higher and higher. Prestigious schools and returnees are both roles of making soybeans, and this is especially true for the reinstallation office. Feng Xiaochen was able to become a reserve cadre for the focus of training in the reinstallation office. It is not a fictional reputation. Without a few tricks, can he stand out in such an institution with a lot of talents?
"You said you understand Japanese?" Luo Xiangfei asked suspiciously.
"No need to use the dictionary, I can basically understand all the Japanese documents." Feng Xiaochen said lightly.
“Where is German?”
"I had some difficulties when I looked at the professional books left by my grandfather. Fortunately, he bought a Dehan Dictionary before his death."
“Spanish, too?”
"You can do daily communication, it's a bit difficult to read professional information."
"What you said is true?"
"This kind of thing...it's hard to lie?" Feng Xiaochen said with a smile.
"It's indeed..." Luo Xiangfei murmured to himself. If he wanted to take Feng Xiaochen's test, he would find a few documents for Feng Xiaochen to see. Feng Xiaochen could find flaws in the drawings provided by the Japanese side. He would probably not be able to do without a Japanese foundation. Language ability is the most difficult thing to fake. Even if Feng Xiaochen wants to brag, he would not brag about this.
"Director Qiao and the others know these situations?" Luo Xiangfei asked. He also knew that this question was unnecessary. If Qiao Ziyuan and the others knew that Feng Xiaochen's ability was so outrageous, how could they make him a handyman?
Feng Xiaochen shook his head and said, "I haven't told anyone about these things...even my parents don't know anything about them."
"Why?" Luo Xiangfei was a little curious.
Feng Xiaochen pretended to be angry and said, "What's the use of saying it? Am I still a temporary worker?"
"But why did you tell me now?" Luo Xiangfei asked again.
Feng Xiaochen said: "I know I can't hide it from you. You have a sharper look than Director Qiao and others."
"Maybe they didn't pay attention to you." Luo Xiangfei let go of Qiao Ziyuan and the others. Feng Xiaochen's words obviously flattered him, but he felt quite comfortable. He didn't want to say much. He thought about it and said, "Actually, if you don't write the picture number on my notes, I won't notice you, you can continue to hide it."
"I can't ignore it." Feng Xiaochen said.
Luo Xiangfei said: "Why?"
"Conscience." Feng Xiaochen replied simply.
"I thank you for the country." Luo Xiangfei said solemnly. After saying that, he asked again: "When did you find this problem? Before that, have you used any method to remind Director Qiao and Lu Gong and others?"
This question is already quite sensitive. If Feng Xiaochen discovered this problem very early but did not say it for a long time, and did not say it in this way until Luo Xiang flew over, it means that Feng Xiaochen revealed that this matter was for some purpose. In the saying goes, it means that "no rabbits will not show eagles without seeing them", which will not be as good as his "conscience".
Of course, Feng Xiaochen would not leave such a word for himself. In fact, Feng Xiaochen could not understand the drawings at all earlier. It was only a dozen days ago that he had the ability to read these drawings. The KBS-3720 picture number was not found by Feng Xiaochen, who was looking for a needle in a haystack. This was from his memory of his previous life. At best, he found this picture and confirmed it again when he was moving the drawings. This was just a few days ago.
"I just discovered this problem a few days ago." Feng Xiaochen said, "Because you are coming, the hall asked a few of us to move the drawings to the conference room and stay on duty at night. I was idle and flipped through some drawings and happened to see this one."
"It's so lucky." Luo Xiangfei accepted Feng Xiaochen's explanation, which was actually the most reasonable explanation. He took two more cigarettes and said, "Xiao Feng, what you mean, you have been present in the past six months of negotiations between the Nanjiang Metallurgical Department and the Japanese side. What do you think about this introduction project?"
"Can you just say it?" Feng Xiaochen asked.
"Of course, you have to speak directly, and you can speak everything. This is the usual style of our party." Luo Xiangfei said.
Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "As far as I can tell, this project was wrong from the beginning. It is inevitable to go to this point today."
"Uh... the young man is so terrifying." Luo Xiangfei sighed. If he had been a different staff member who dared to speak like this in front of the deputy director, he would probably be able to roll the bed and get out of here immediately. The introduction of the 1780 hot rolling mill was jointly undertaken by the Metallurgical Bureau and the Nanjiang Provincial Metallurgical Department. The relevant working principles and work directions were also the result of careful consideration between the two parties. Luo Xiangfei also contributed some of his thoughts. Feng Xiaochen came up and said that the direction of the project was wrong. Wouldn't this beat everyone in a boat? Luo Xiangfei was still strong in will, otherwise he would have been so angry that he would have been shocked long ago.
"Tell me, why the project method was wrong at the beginning." Luo Xiangfei decided to listen carefully to the young man's thoughts. Those who dared to speak wildly were either a real wise man or a naughty man. Luo Xiangfei felt in his heart that Feng Xiaochen was more likely to belong to the latter, at least 99%.
"First of all, it is a mistake for us to limit the direction of imports to RB companies." Feng Xiaochen said, but he did not think he would show his timidity in front of Luo Xiangfei. He said embarrassedly that many of his views were precisely the result of Luo Xiangfei's reflections several years later. He did not pay the copyright fee.
"In the entire Western world, RB is the closest economic and trade exchanges with China. What's wrong with us choosing RB companies as the source of introduction?" Luo Xiangfei retorted.
Feng Xiaochen said: "Precisely because RB has the closest economic and trade exchanges with China, RB people are most familiar with the decision-making style of the Chinese government. They know that we lack international experience, have a weak mentality in international technical exchanges, and are easily influenced by foreign parties, so they can skillfully use various techniques in negotiations to achieve their goals."
"Uh..." Luo Xiangfei was speechless. This was also a reason? He thought about it carefully and finally helped admit that Feng Xiaochen was right. He had dealt with many merchants in Western countries. Only when dealing with RB people was the most comfortable. People would consider all kinds of things and cater to the psychology of the Chinese people everywhere. He used to think that this was a positive side. Now that he thought that people are familiar with him but do not understand other people's rules, it would be strange if they don't suffer losses in negotiations.
Feng Xiaochen continued: "In contrast, American and European manufacturers, because they do not understand China, dare not be too much during negotiations, for fear that we will be caught by us and affect the relationship between the two parties. In order to gain a place in the international market, companies in Federal Germany are very cautious about an emerging market like China. They would rather suffer some losses themselves than make the Chinese feel at a loss. If we choose to cooperate with Federal Germany from the beginning, problems like flush toilets will definitely not happen."
"Is this what you realized by yourself, or is it something you heard from others?"
