Chapter 268: Weak country and few people
Chen Huai took Zhou Yu's car to Nanyuan and saw Tan Qiping's car turning into the tree-lined path first. He looked at the flowerbed on the side of the road.
Seeing Chen Huai frowned and said nothing, Zhou Yu knew that the city attached more importance to Yamazaki Nobuo's arrival, and the pressure Mei Gang was going to bear. Xiong Wenbin just called in and said clearly that Governor Zhao Qiuhua also attached great importance to this matter and ensure that this joint venture project of Fuji Iron can be negotiated.
The reception venue was set up in Cuihua Tower. Tan Qiping and the others saw Chen Huai coming in Zhou Yu's car, so they went to the parking lot first and did not rush in, waiting for Chen Huai to come.
Chen Huai just pushed open the car door and a cold wind swept over Cuihu, causing his neck to shrink, wrapped his windbreaker tightly towards Tan Qiping, Xiong Wenbin walked over and said, "The weather is about to cool down again. Everyone should clean up and prepare for hibernation. The Japanese run away diligently..."
Tan Qiping looked at Chen Huai calmly, without saying anything else, but just gave a gentle command: "When the guests come, don't talk nonsense..."
Zhou Yu had no way to learn from Chen Huai's sloppy appearance. He greeted Tan Qiping and Xiong Wenbin respectfully. From the general manager, a row of people were standing by the parking lot to welcome Tan Qiping's arrival.
The waiters recruited by Nanyuan are all beautiful ladies from surrounding districts and counties. They wear high-end uniforms and skirts with fabrics, which are beautiful and charming in the cold wind. Perhaps there are some people who have a youthful and beautiful face that is particularly beautiful, but no one can match Zhou Yu's graceful appearance.
Zhou Yu was wearing a brown tweed coat, and his delicate face was whispered slightly red, but it became brighter and brighter. Su Kai heard the secret feeling that the reputation of the city government's number one beauty was not in vain.
Although Zhou Yu and Chen Huai have nothing to do with him on the surface, and Zhou Yu is responsible for the investment promotion work in Tangzha District. After Chen Huai received the news, there was nothing wrong with him when he came over with Zhou Yu's car, but Su Kaiwenyou felt that the relationship between Chen Huai and Zhou Yu was not as clean as the surface.
Cuihua Building has been renovated with central air conditioning, and it feels warm as spring when you walk into the hall.
Tan Qiping called the general manager of Nanyuan in the hall to ask about the reception venue and the arrangements for the dinner. In the end, he was still a little worried and wanted to go to the kitchen to check the work in person.
Xiong Wenbin noticed that Chen Huai frowned slightly. He also thought that Tan Qiping was too cautious and careful, but he had no way to say anything about Tan Qiping, so he could only go to the kitchen to check the preparations for the dinner.
Nanyuan dared not neglect any reception dinner attended by the secretary of the municipal party committee. There were no major problems in the kitchen work except for some minor problems.
However, when Tan Qiping returned to the hall, he found a small problem and severely criticized the management of Nanyuan and asked Nanyuan to make rectifications immediately. After that, he asked Xiong Wenbin: "I don't know what Mr. Nobuo Yamazaki tastes. Now I only prepare Chinese food for the reception dinner. Can I still prepare Japanese cuisine? After Mr. Nobuo Yamazaki arrives, he will choose?"
"Yes, I must make Yamazaki Nobuo feel at home. I will let Nanyuan do the preparations more fully." Xiong Wenbin had nothing to say except for answering like this.
Chen Huai looked through the glass curtain wall on the north side of the hall and looked at the lake water that was rippling with the cold wind...
At this time, Gu Tong and others from the Municipal Steel Factory arrived after receiving the news, walked into the hall, walked over with a respectful expression and greeted Tan Qiping, and smiled at Chen Huai, saying, "This time, Meigang is going to play the main force..."
"We are a small Meigang factory, so how could we call Japanese people to see it? Director Gu, you are guilty, but you can't push us in front of you to block the gun hole..." Chen Huai smiled.
Gu Tong smiled awkwardly. Although City Steel can still beat Meigang in terms of production capacity, other data can be embarrassed at all, so there is nothing to say about Chen Huai's temper. Everyone has learned about Chen Huai's temper over the past year. Gu Tong also knew in his heart that if he wanted to show Chen Huai's face, he would only make his face look ugly, and he could only treat Chen Huai's words coldly.
"It's not a fight against the Japanese devils in the War of Resistance Against Japan. Why block the gun holes and not the gun holes?" Tan Qiping's face was slightly dark and he said calmly, "This time, Meigang and the Municipal Steel Plant are going to rush forward to be the main force. You must all do your best to negotiate the joint venture project, and the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government will serve as your backing..."
"Yes, the municipal steel mill will definitely not let down the trust of the municipal party committee and government."
Gu Tong was first-class in memorizing lines, and such a rude sentence was so heart-warming that Chen Huai looked at Gu Tong's face with crow's feet when he smiled, and couldn't figure out his true thoughts for a while, thinking that he should understand Tan Qiping's intention to insist on the city steel mill to participate.
A car accident occurred at more than five o'clock in Zhaqiao Road. Liang Xiaolin welcomed the negotiator of Fuji Iron from the west to the city and blocked the passageway into the city from the west, and wanted to change a way to bypass it.
Tan Qiping got angry and asked why he did not arrange a police car to open the road in advance. He called Kan Xuetao to personally direct the order and sent someone to clear a special passage. During this period, Gao Tianhe called to ask about the situation of the Fuji iron-making negotiator. Tan Qiping took the call and took out the traffic accident and criticized Gao Tianhe.
Looking at this scene, Chen Huai also lamented that Tan Qiping had already had the confidence to grasp the situation in Donghua, otherwise it would be impossible to criticize Gao Tianhe publicly on the phone.
Tan Qiping criticized Gao Tianhe for his incompetent management of traffic on the phone. Chen Huai noticed that Gu Tong's face was calm and he only felt a little bit in his heart that people are always realistic, and officials who have been together in the officialdom for a long time are even more realistic.
Tan Qiping has been in office for a year since Donghua and seems to have no action, but there are indeed few people in Donghua who will move his edge again - this may be Tan Qiping's extraordinary points. He doesn't even need to squeeze Gao Tianhe away from Donghua, Chen Huai thought to himself.
The representative of Fuji ironmaking will not be able to arrive in Nanyuan for a while. Chen Huai asked the waiter for a box of matches, turned around and went to the aisle outside the VIP room to smoke, followed the window and looked at the scenery of the lake.
Seeing Xiong Wenbin coming, Chen Huai handed him the smoke and matches.
Xiong Wenbin lit a cigarette and took a sip. He heard Chen Huai utter a very light word from his mouth: "A small country has few people." He knew that Chen Huai was very dissatisfied with Tan Qiping's excessive caution and nervousness. He shouldn't have been between Shen Huai and Tan Qiping and said something. After thinking about it, he said: "The country is big but the people are weak. After all, it is the fact that we have to face it..."
"Indeed, the population of Japan is only ten times that of China, but the total economic output is eighty or nine times that of China. If it is per capita, it is even eighty or ninety times that of China. This gap is too big. No wonder the Japanese devils are arrogant everywhere, and it is no wonder that we are poor and short-sighted..."
Shen Huai stands on the railings and spits the smoke ring on the glass. Who can imagine a big country with a population of 1.2 billion, and its total economic output is not even comparable to South Korea, which has a population of only 50 million. How could local officials have the mentality and confidence to have a strong country?
"Mayor Liang and the representatives of Fuji ironmaking have arrived in Nanyuan. Secretary Tan wants you to go out to greet them together." Su Kaiwen came over and called Xiong Wenbin and Chen Huai downstairs to greet the people.
Xiong Wenbin casually snatched the cigarette, while Chen Huai clamped the cigarette between his fingers.
Su Kaiwen just said something about Chen Huai's subtle action, not saying anything. He didn't understand what Mei Gang was special, but the Japanese obviously came for Mei Gang this time, so Chen Huai naturally had his arrogant confidence, and Tan Qiping couldn't say anything about him.
Tan Qiping had already left the hall first and stopped under the porch outside the hall waiting for the convoy to come. When he saw Chen Huai coming with a cigarette in his hand, he frowned slightly, and said nothing, but called Chen Huai to him and asked: "Fuji Iron Manufacturing directly sent heavyweights to Donghua this time. Should he still have the intention to actively build a joint venture project in Donghua, and Mei Gang is sure?"
"Fuji Iron Manufacturing suddenly sent Nobuo Yamazaki to negotiate, but for the specific requirements, no direct information was sent first. I was not very clear about the extent that I could talk about this time," said Chen Huai. "I originally planned to fly to the UK to inspect the project the day after tomorrow, and I have asked for leave from the district..."
Although Chen Huai has been promoted to the deputy division level, he has not been included in the municipal management cadre. At present, he only needs to report to Tangzha District when he goes abroad.
Tan Qiping knew from Zhou Ming that Chen Huai was going abroad for inspection, but he didn't know what specific project Chen Huai was going to inspect. At this time, he heard him mention it and said: "If you go abroad for inspection, please let others go first, and you will delay it for a few days before leaving. The joint venture project with Fuji Iron is important, and you must always be ahead..."
"Okay, I'll ask Zhao Dong to go to the UK first. I'll leave a few days later." Chen Huai said. He was also afraid that he would go to the UK, and Zhao Dong and the others would not be able to withstand the pressure put in by the municipal party committee and government.
If Gu Tong and his group lead the negotiation process and create an inappropriate joint venture plan, he will be more passive when he comes back and argues with reason. Of course, if the final joint venture plan is beneficial to Meigang, he will not object. At worst, the joint venture project and the second-hand production line introduction project of Siyumins will be operated together.
At this time, the convoy turned over from the tree-lined path and slowly drove to the stone-paved square in front of Cuihua Tower. Tan Qiping walked down the porch steps. Chen Huai could only follow everyone behind Tan Qiping. Liang Xiaolin got off the car first, walked quickly to the side of the black concierge car, and opened the door attentively:
A young man in his thirties, medium-sized, thin cheeks, wearing a navy windbreaker, walked out of the car door with sharp eyes swept over Tan Qiping and others, and then he owed his body slightly, waiting for Liang Xiaolin to introduce it to him.
In the late 1980s, the Municipal Steel Plant introduced a complete set of steelmaking lines from Fuji iron. Later, this line has always been the main line of the Municipal Steel Plant. Chen Huai participated in the introduction, construction and production of steelmaking lines at the time, and was therefore fully responsible for the operation of this production line and was quite familiar with the situation of Fuji ironmaking.
In terms of management level, Fuji Iron Manufacturing is indeed first-class, but the internal seniority situation is still serious. Nobuo Yamazaki is about 30 years old and is a senior position as the head of the general manager office of Fuji Iron Manufacturing. In addition to being extraordinary in ability, his family background is also impossible.
Chen Huai shook hands with Nobuo Yamazaki. Seeing his overly sharp eyes swept across his face, he was also calm. He thought in his heart that it was necessary to ask Sun Yalin to ask someone to inquire about the details of this guy before the negotiations.
