Siheyuan: Heavy Industry Revitalizes the Country

"Well, it's not convenient to talk on the phone.

You should hand over the work of the working group first.

You also have to make arrangements in Luoyi.

There is no rush for this matter.

Even if you have ideas and requests, you have to discuss them slowly.

Let’s talk about it when you have time to return to Beijing.

It’s late now, time to go to bed.”

Mr. Liu didn't say it directly, but asked Fang Xiang to return to Beijing to discuss it.

“Okay, that might take a while.

After pulling so many equipment back, they have to be properly placed.

We still have to recruit people and so on.

Then I'll tell you before I go back.

You should go to bed early."

Fang Xiang thought it made sense. It was so late, and they were still discussing such an important matter on the phone.

It's really not appropriate.

This kind of thing needs to be discussed face to face.

So he nodded in agreement.

After hanging up the phone, Fang wanted to lie back on the bed.

Unexpectedly, from the non-cooperation of the Ministry of External Trade, I would go to Hong Kong Island to sell cars myself.

I originally wanted to explore the situation first and then make a decision, but I didn't expect to sign such a big deal.

Now, all parties are coveting it and it has implicated me.

Things are changing so fast that someone even wants to pick your own peaches.

But fortunately, I am not made of paper.

But in the end, you still have to rely on others.

When will I be able to harden myself?

Fang Xiang sighed.

Thinking of the working group he would face tomorrow, Fang Xiang had no other ideas.

Since the other person has changed his attitude and apologized to me.

Since you can't deal with others, you can only choose to cooperate.

Let’s see how the situation develops later.

Thinking of this, Fang Xiang looked at the time and it was almost ten o'clock.

I was too lazy to think about it anymore and just turned off the lights and went to sleep.

After a week of repeated communication, we finally finalized the follow-up plan with the working group.

The first is to work with Howard.

The general framework was what Fang Xiang and Howard had already communicated about before.

This is also already fixed, there is no need or room for change.

However, a lot of unexpected things happened during this period.

First of all, in terms of details, the working group insisted on establishing a company with the state to cooperate with Howard.

Then, as for the profit sharing, Fang Xiang originally wanted to keep a small treasury for himself.

Naturally, the working group would not leave this loophole for him.

At most, the contract can be finalized in Fang Xiang's name.

As for the company's accounts, the state took over and the personnel were paid from taxes.

There is no room for Fang Xiang to operate at all.

But this was also what Fang Xiang had anticipated early on.

It's impossible to use the country's resources and manpower to make money for yourself, right?

Fang Xiang didn't think too much and agreed readily.

Of course, Fang didn’t think too much about the follow-up matters that needed attention.

Then there is the drawing. Unexpectedly, the working group actually has corresponding business negotiation experts.

This was something Fang Xiang had never expected, but then he thought about it again, it was such a big country.

It’s not like we haven’t done business with foreign countries before, it’s just that most of the time, we don’t know about it.

The expert’s opinion is that the excuse is that there are too many drawings and that copying would take time.

Trade with Howard in batches.

Although the country has suffered losses and gained advantages since its founding.

But overall, the tone is still one of caution.

So no one suggested packaging the drawings and sending them to Howard at once.

After two or three transactions, on the one hand, the experts believed that it was a great bargain to exchange those drawings for these machine tools and equipment.

Even if subsequent transactions are stopped, it is not considered a loss.

On the other hand, it also lays a foundation for the integrity of both parties.

Fang Xiang didn't have any major objection to this.

Although experts do not think these drawings are so valuable.

He also underestimated Fang Xiang's efforts in this regard.

But Fang Xiang also managed to obtain one condition.

That is, in subsequent transactions, there will be machine tools and equipment related to the automotive industry.

He has first choice.

Unless he doesn't want it, everything belongs to him by default.

After all, drawings can be drawn and technology can be updated.

But machine tools and equipment are indeed real things.

Fang Xiang didn't think that he would suffer a big loss by using technology that was three to five years ahead in terms of gaining so many things.

We can only blame the current country’s weak foundation.

But as long as we have these devices, I believe we can develop better than in the previous life.

After talking about Howard, it was Lei Luo's turn.

The vast majority of the working group staff almost unanimously scoffed at Lei Luo's request.

It is too shameless for a mere sheriff to dare to negotiate with the country.

But in the end, he was persuaded by Fang Xiang and a few other knowledgeable people.

He approved the plan of walking on two legs and letting Lei Luo be a spare tire.

And Wang Bu also showed unexpected actions in this matter.

It is to fully support Fang Xiang's plan with great courage.

Only then did the business transaction with Lei Luo pass the working group's resolution.

In order to show his support for Fang Xiang's work, Wang Bu even didn't mind meeting Lei Luo to put his mind at ease.

But it is definitely not Wang Bu who is going to Hong Kong Island, but Lei Luo who is coming to Guangzhou.

Of course, Fang Xiang didn't need to participate in this matter. He didn't want to participate either.

After a week of negotiation, the trade plan with Howard and Leilo was finally approved.

What remains is to implement the specific details.

These are all promoted by personnel sent by the working group and relevant departments.

No need for Fang to worry about it or do it himself.

“Thank you for your strong support in my work.

I originally thought that it would take at least a month to get a result this time.

Unexpectedly, a week was over.

Come on, I'll buy you a drink."

After signing their names on the document, Minister Wang generously offered to treat them to a meal and drinks.

“It’s what should be done wherever it is.

I should also thank Minister Wang for supporting my opinion.

But no need for wine.

I don't like drinking.

And the people in Luoyi are still waiting for me to return.

Many tasks cannot be carried out without me.

Time really waits for no one.”

Fang Xiang held the hand that Wang Bu extended to him.

It is hard to say whether this person is a friend or an enemy.

He did not give an answer easily because of this friendly work.

Plus, he hated this kind of formal drinking party.

Of course I refused directly with a smile.

“What a pity.

I thought I would have many opportunities to interact with Mr. Fang in the future.

But Mr. Fang doesn’t give me face.”

Minister Wang also smiled, looking at the staff standing around him and said with a smile.

But to Fang Xiang, these words seemed to have a hidden meaning.

“It’s okay, it’s not convenient this time.

When I return to Beijing, I will visit you in person.

There will be plenty of opportunities to improve our relationship in the future."

Fang wanted to change his mind and ignore the fact that he really wanted to ease the relationship.

Or was it just this time that a concession was made.

But isn’t it true that in official circles, the emphasis is on fighting without breaking up?

So he started to speak nice words as well.

"it is good.

Everyone is very busy now. Since you don’t have time, forget it.

When Mr. Fang returns to Beijing later, don't forget what I just said.

I mean it.”

Wang Bu also had an indifferent expression, and shook his hand vigorously, which he had not let go of just now.

"Of course, I will have to trouble the king in the future.

But now I'm really anxious to go back.

Just last night, my wife called me and said she was angry.

If I don't see my person again, I won't be allowed into the house.

You see, how dare I delay, right? "

Fang wanted to let go of Wang Bu's hand and followed suit with a joke.

Although the reasons given were extremely powerful, they also subtly pointed out that my wife and father-in-law were not easy to mess with.

If you really want to be friends with me, then there will be no problem.

If you want to play any tricks on me, you have to consider the importance of my father-in-law first.
