Feng Zhichen is not wrong, Cao Zhiyuan is indeed a deputy bureau-level cadre of the Global Center for International Economic Exchanges, responsible for some economic exchanges between China and South America.His institution, nominally called the Center for Economic Exchanges, has a strong foreign policy over, and more simply an institution that aims to promote the development of diplomatic relations through economic exchanges.All countries in the world have similar institutions, which is also the characteristic of modern international exchanges.

Cao Zhiyuan recently took a delegation to Argentina to discuss some things about agricultural cooperation.In talks with officials of the Argentine Ministry of Agriculture, the other side accidentally talked about the tendering and construction of four large fertilizer plants, and also politely sent an invitation to Cao Zhiyuan, saying that Chinese companies are welcome to bid.

Cao Zhiyuan does not know much about the development of the domestic equipment industry, with the past impression, feel that China's industrial equipment is still used, and this kind of participation in international bidding seems to be hopeless.He also asked several subordinates he brought with him, and the subordinates unanimously said that China's industrial level and Japan have at least 20 years of difference, and Argentina is looking at Japanese technology, if our Chinese companies really come to bid, it is a disgrace to throw them abroad.

Cao Zhiyuan knew that his subordinates had some external complexes, and what they said was not necessarily credible.However, listening to them so sure, Cao Zhiyuan is indeed even more bottom-up, so he can only hum to the Argentine side to thank, promised to contact domestic equipment companies to Argentina to bid, for Argentina's agricultural construction to make a contribution.

This matter in Cao Zhiyuan's visit, it is also just a small episode.Argentine Ministry of Agriculture officials actually let Cao Zhiyuan send a tender information, but did not mention the request for Chinese enterprises to bid, perhaps the heart is also that Chinese enterprises do not have this strength.

Cao Zhiyuan's visit was carried out with several agricultural cooperation projects, and the help of Argentina to build a fertilizer plant was not on his work schedule.Several of the projects he took with him were eventually well implemented, and his trip was a great success.However, on the way back, he always felt that he was a little prickly, and a thought constantly floated in his heart: What if Chinese companies really can carry these four fertilizer plants next?

According to the Argentine side, at present, Japanese and Dutch companies have expressed interest in the projects of these four fertilizer plants, and the initial offer of Japanese is about 300 million US dollars per set of equipment, and the Dutch have reported more than 400 million.Argentine officials said that even a set of 300 million yuan is a big burden for Argentina, which is why they are trying to contact companies in other countries, which is equivalent to a little sick and serious treatment.

One set of equipment 300 million, four sets is 1.2 billion.Even if the Chinese company offers a little lower, it will be at least 1 billion.The $1 billion partnership is 10 times more than the amount of several agricultural projects he has talked about, and if he can talk about the project, his department's performance this year will be released.

Pies are tempting, but can you eat them yourself?Cao Zhiyuan is not really confident in this.When he was in Argentina, he did not dare to say too much to the Argentine officials.As soon as he returned, he was thinking about going to the "relevant departments" to understand the situation.The "relevant department" he could think of was the National Planning Commission.In the past two days, he was thinking about who would introduce him to the officials in charge of the matter, who knew that he had come to the kindergarten and actually met a person from the National Equipment Industry Company, but he did not know that the Feng teacher was not reliable in his speech.

“Mr. Feng, what side of your work are you in charge of?”

After self-reporting his true identity, Cao Zhiyuan tempted to ask Feng Xiaochen.

I heard that the other party was a deputy bureau-level cadre, and Feng Xiaochen could not hide anything.He smiled and said, "I'm in the company is a role to pick up the gaps, what others don't do, I do."

“That’s the general manager.”Cao Zhiyuan said with a funny mind.

Feng Xiaochen smiled: "I really let Director Cao guess correctly, I really served as the general manager in the company."

“Ah?”Cao Zhiyuan's eyes were rounded.They are all people in the system, what level can it be unclear about what level?Cao Zhiyuan had not heard of the equipment company, but just now from Feng Xiaochen's mouth to know its past life and present life, pinch the finger, the level and his own international economic exchange center should be consistent, that is, the bureau level.He is the head of the department in the center, who is treated at the deputy bureau level, and others call him a director, but in fact his official title is the director rather than the director.But in front of this can be different, people are the general manager of the right eight, the company's first, actually with their own here to shovel the sand.

“Mr. Feng, disrespectful.”Cao Zhiyuan wiped the sweat on his head and said, "You said that this kindergarten teacher is also really, how can Feng always shovel the sand?"

Feng Xiaochen laughed, “That’s nothing, isn’t it?I heard my mother say that the parents of the children of Yuequan Kindergarten are Tibetan dragons and prowists, and our two small bureau-level cadres are shovelling sand here, and they are not wrong.

"Yes, we are just two small bureaux."Cao Zhiyuan also quickly adjusted his mentality, from the contact just now, he already knew that Feng Xiaochen is a very easy-going person, it seems that the matter of shoveling sand is not as strong as his grievances.People are at the bureau level, can act with their tails like this, they are only the director of the sub-office treatment, what is there to complain about?Then again, if you don't shovel the sand together, can you get so familiar with each other?Compared to such a young and promising general manager who befriended Feng Xiaochen, what is a sand shovelling for a while?

“What you’re saying about this makes a lot of sense to us.”Feng Xiaochen opened the conversation and continued with the topic just now, "I can say very responsibly that our country's equipment companies can completely win these four sets of large fertilizer devices, and the technical level will not be worse than that of the Japanese."In terms of price, 20% lower than the Japanese is completely fine, if the Japanese dare to reduce the price, we can reduce the price by another 20%."

"20% down 20%, wouldn't that be the equivalent of a 40% drop?"3,618, you mean, a set of large fertilizer equipment, we only need 180 million US dollars to win?That’s not going to cost you, right?”Cao Zhiyuan asked in surprise.

Feng Xiaochen smiled slightly and said, "Old Cao, you know, the Japanese newspaper 300 million U.S. dollars, there is a virtual head, the actual cost will not exceed 200 million, they sell all the money of technology."We are not as dark as them, plus our labor costs are low, the cost is lower than them, so even if it is 180 million, we can also make money, and ... hey, not to tell you, we make a lot of money."

“Is that true?”Cao Zhiyuan's face was full of smiles.With his understanding of the Argentine Ministry of Agriculture, a set of equipment does not need to report 180 million low prices, as long as the report to 250 million, the other side will certainly be excited.If the quality is not much worse than the Japanese, he will be in the middle of the middle, the possibility of taking these four sets of equipment is very large.

According to Feng Xiaochen, 180 million sets are stable, when it comes to 250 million, how much of the spread between them?Their center as a lead party, it is not too much to charge a little commission from it?But don't get me wrong, Lao Cao is not trying to be full of private pockets, but to collect commissions in the name of the global center, that is, to generate income for units.At present, the state's finances are very tight, the funds of all units are seriously insufficient, and income generation is an open and reasonable and promoted thing.The Global Center for International Economic Exchanges is a financial gap fund, and has certain revenue-generating tasks every year.Can promote such a transaction, so that domestic enterprises to make a profit of not less than 300 million U.S. dollars, the center raised 3 million not too much?38二十四, this is more than 20 million yuan ah, their own "parentheses enjoy sub-office-level treatment" in the "parent brackets", I am afraid you can get rid of it?

The more he thought about it, the more excited he felt, put down the wood shovel, and wanted to pull Feng Xiaochen to say a good thing.At this time, a teacher came up next to him and reminded them expressionlessly: "These two parents, you quickly get the bunker ready, and the long jump competition is about to begin."

"This..." Cao Zhiyuan looked up at the teacher, and there was an impulse to reason.Is it wrong, here are two bureau-level cadres discussing a billion U.S. dollars of export business, you actually let us quickly get the bunker, 1 billion U.S. dollars, enough to please how many handymen?

Feng Xiaochen saw Cao Zhiyuan's mentality, rushed to pull him, smiled and said: "Old Cao, the project thing, tomorrow to our company to talk, I arranged our project management department and strategic planning department comrades and you."Today we are going to do our job first, and don't twist the children's feet."

"Eh, yes, Feng is always right, let's first... uh, first do our job."Cao Zhiyuan can only say according to Feng Zhichen's words.

At this time, only someone next to me shouted in surprise: "Oh, this is not Feng, how can you... this is this, really, how can you shovel sand?"

Hearing the sound, Feng Xiaochen, Cao Zhiyuan and the teacher who had just urged them to work turned their heads together, and the first to react was the teacher, who opened her mouth in surprise and shouted: "Gardener, you... you know this parent?"

It was the gardener who Feng Yan had just pointed out to Feng Xiaochen, who was said to be the director of the day, she gazing at the teacher, and then striding to Feng Xiaochen, said apologetically: "Feng, really you, how... your daughter is in our kindergarten, why did you never listen to my old cold words?" 」

Feng Xiaochen smiled slightly and said, “Sin-law, I just knew that you were the gardener of my family.”I said take her to see you, and she wouldn't dare."
