King of Industry

Hearing someone calling him, Zhao Guoyang quickly turned his head and looked back.

Not far behind, a man in his early thirties and wearing a gray shirt was looking at him in surprise.

Beside the man, he was accompanied by a man in his 40s or 50s, wearing a post office work uniform, with a smile on his face.

It was the man in the gray shirt who spoke. Looking at his familiar face, Zhao Guoyang was slightly startled, and then he slapped his head to remember.

Are you Ni Zifeng, Secretary Ni? Zhao Guoyang said hesitantly.

Hearing him call out his name, the man in the gray shirt smiled happily: That's right, it's me. Researcher Zhao, you have a really good memory!

This Ni Zifeng was a secretary who served Yao Gang on his last trip to Latin America, and also a deputy director of the first department of the General Office of the Ministry of Foreign Trade.

Although Secretary Ni didn't have much chance to talk to Zhao Guoyang during his stay in the Samba country, but he saw everything in Zhao Guoyang's ability and performance.

Of course, he admired this young and capable, even somewhat legendary Researcher Zhao.

At this time, they accidentally met in such a place, so naturally they had to make good use of each other.

After a few simple greetings, Ni Zifeng introduced the middle-aged man next to Zhao Guoyang by the way.

He is Hu Qiushi, the director of the Xidan Post Office. Ni Zifeng approached him personally because he wanted to mail something to a certain city in the south.

With Ni Zifeng's identity and the title of deputy director-level cadre of the General Office of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, after approaching Director Hu, the other party was naturally extremely enthusiastic and polite.

It's not like Ni Zifeng had just finished his errands and was about to go back to the ministry when he happened to run into Zhao Guoyang.

When introducing Zhao Guoyang, Ni Zifeng solemnly talked about the fact that he was awarded the title of special researcher in several ministries and commissions.

In the end, Director Ni did not forget to smile and said: Director Hu, don't look at our researcher Zhao as young. Not long ago, he was recognized as a senior researcher who 'enjoys special national allowance', and he is also the youngest researcher in the country. one...

Ah! After listening to Ni Zifeng's introduction, Director Hu was stunned.

As a Beijing official, although Director Hu is not high-ranking, he is definitely well-informed.

Of course, he is clear about the concept of a researcher who enjoys special state allowances.

Coupled with seeing Ni Zifeng's posture so low, of course Hu Qiushi immediately understood the importance of this young man in front of him, and he was even more polite to him.

The middle-aged woman and the young Xiao Liu heard what Ni Zifeng said just now clearly in their ears.

The two of them never imagined that this young man who was as young as a fresh graduate would have such a prominent status.

Enjoy special national allowances? That is the treatment that only a person can have, this is too exaggerated!

On the other side, seeing a large pile of objects piled up next to Zhao Guoyang, Secretary Ni pointed casually: Researcher Zhao, this is...

Ah... Zhao Guoyang remembered that he still had business to do, and quickly explained, Secretary Ni, I came to the capital on a business trip, and the factory asked me to help bring some specialties of the capital home, and keep them for distribution in the middle of the year. Workers in the factory!

No, I just bought something and I'm going to mail it back!

After listening to Zhao Guoyang's explanation, Ni Zifeng nodded suddenly and said, Well, it should be, it should be!

When Ni Zifeng was speaking, Hu Qiushi at the side had already glanced at the middle-aged woman with displeased eyes.

Yang Xiu, what's the matter? I saw Researcher Zhao standing here for a long time, why hasn't he helped him get things done? Your work efficiency is too low!

The middle-aged woman lowered her head in embarrassment, and immediately reacted: Director, Xiao Liu and I are explaining to Researcher Zhao the preferential policies for large-scale mailings by state-owned enterprises. Don't worry, we will do it right away, and we will do it right away. ...

Hu Qiushi's eyes lit up when he heard the words preferential policies.

He waved to the middle-aged woman and said, Comrade Yang Xiu, you heard it just now. Researcher Zhao is not only a cadre of a state-owned enterprise, but also holds several positions. He has several titles of 'special researcher' in ministries and commissions.

So, he should enjoy all the preferential policies of the ministries and commissions, and you just do it!

After Hu Qiushi spoke, the middle-aged woman naturally didn't dare to be negligent, she quickly winked at Xiao Liu, and the two settled the matter for Zhao Guoyang according to the most favorable billing method.

Zhao Guoyang, who thought he would have to toss for a long time, saw that his batch of goods were all wrapped up in less than a quarter of an hour and entered the warehouse, and he was secretly moved, there are always people who can do things!

Ni Zifeng and Hu Qiushi next to him have been accompanying them all the time. Seeing that the matter was done, the two nodded in satisfaction.

Secretary Ni and Director Hu, I really appreciate you two today! Thank you! Zhao Guoyang nodded politely to Ni Zifeng and Hu Qiushi.

Hey, Researcher Zhao's words are too outlandish!

Ni Zifeng waved his hands again and again and said, Leader Yao mentioned your name more than once in a meeting, saying that you have helped our Ministry of Foreign Trade a lot, and you are a great contributor!

Ah, that's right! Ni Zifeng seemed to have remembered something, and then said, Researcher Zhao, it seems that your ministry will visit Africa next month, and you will also participate, right?

Zhao Guoyang was slightly taken aback, but he didn't expect that Secretary Ni was quite well informed.

But it's not surprising when you think about it, Ni Zifeng is not only Ni Zifeng's secretary, but also the deputy director of the general office.

Most of the large and small foreign visits in this book have to be finalized by the general office. It is only natural that he is well-informed.

Seeing Ni Zifeng's expectant eyes, Zhao Guoyang nodded with a smile and said, Yes, Secretary Ni, I just learned about this not too long ago. Whether the trip can be made or not, we have to wait for the ministry's notice.

When Ni Zifeng heard this, he laughed and said, Researcher Zhao, don't worry, the itinerary for this visit is basically fixed, and the team will be led by Director Yin Zhenfa of the West Asia and Africa Department.

Since West Asia and Africa are relatively close geographically and culturally and traditionally, the Ministry of Foreign Trade handed over the affairs of these two places to the joint office of the West Asia and Africa Division.

Director Yin Zhenfa of the Department of West Asia and Africa, Zhao Guoyang has heard of it.

Among the main leaders of more than a dozen departments of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, Director Yin is the youngest.

Just in his early forties, he was the head of the bureau, and his ability is definitely very strong.

Zhao Guoyang is still looking forward to being able to go with this young and vigorous director to Africa, an intercontinental continent that he has had the least contact with in his previous life.

After chatting with Ni Zifeng for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Guoyang offered to leave, saying that when he was free next time, he would invite Secretary Ni and Director Hu to have a meal, and then set up a Longmen array.

Ni Zifeng probably also knew that he had an important meeting to attend when he came to the capital, so naturally he wouldn't delay him too much.

At that moment, Secretary Ni smiled and shook hands with Zhao Guoyang to say goodbye: Researcher Zhao, you are busy with your work. Just call me when you are free!

Zhao Guoyang made an OK gesture, greeted Ni Zifeng and Hu Qiushi, and left.

...

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

On the morning of July 10th, Zhao Guoyang got up early to tidy himself up before seven o'clock.

Although I am very confident about the first meeting of the All Terrain Vehicle Standardization Technical Committee today, I still need to pay attention to my personal image.

After all, I am the deputy editor-in-chief of standard compilation and Li Lao's deputy. To a certain extent, it also represents Li Lao's majesty.

It's not good if it's messy.

Today's first plenary meeting was held not at the Management Bureau of Inherent Assets, nor at its superior unit, the Ministry of Finance, but at the Planning Commission.

For this, Zhao Guoyang was not too surprised.

Established in 1952, the National Planning Commission is one of the most important departments of the State Council, and has long assumed the comprehensive economic management functions of the Chinese government.

However, with the deepening of reform and opening up, the original planned economic system is no longer applicable.

The introduction of the socialist market economic system in the late 1980s and early 1990s made the functions of the State Planning Commission constantly changing.

However, everything remains the same.

Zhao Guoyang, who has two generations of experience, knows very well that whether it is the current State Planning Commission or the heavyweight ministry that will be renamed the National Development and Reform Commission in the future, it will always be the most important economic department of the country.

It is also an important department for comprehensively researching and formulating economic and social development policies, carrying out overall balance, and guiding the macro-control of the overall economic system reform.

This meeting was held at the National Planning Commission, which undoubtedly highlights the country's emphasis on the All Terrain Vehicle project.

Zhao Guoyang was about to go down to have breakfast after washing up here, when the big brother rang.

When I connected to the big brother, it turned out that it was Mr. Li calling.

Guoyang, I won't make a detour here to pick you up. In the morning, you and Director Li Ru's car will arrive as early as possible. How is it? Are you okay? Li Kejian asked with a smile on the phone .

No problem, no problem! Zhao Guoyang responded quickly.

In fact, Mr. Li's phone call is a bit redundant.

Last night, Director Li Ru told Zhao Guoyang that he was waiting downstairs in the hotel this morning to go with him.

Okay, then prepare a little more, and I'll hang up first. Li Kejian said with a smile.

Regarding Zhao Guoyang's speech at the meeting today, the boss didn't mention a word.

Obviously, in Li Kejian's view, Zhao Guoyang doesn't need to remind him about professional things.

After getting off the elevator, Zhao Guoyang went straight to the restaurant on the first floor.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Director Li Ru who was waving at him.

Zhao Guoyang couldn't help laughing when he saw the ridiculous way the leader greeted him with white flour steamed buns stuffed in his mouth.
