Material Empire

Beixi Iron and Steel Works.

Ichiro Kawashima stood in front of a mountain of waste that was tens of meters high, with an undisguised look of greed in his eyes. Beside him, Zeng Yongtao, the director of the Provincial Foreign Affairs Office, Liu Xuping, a staff member, and Wang Yiqiao, the director of Beixi Iron and Steel Plant, all had happy faces. Everyone was very happy. Work has officially started.

Not far from the waste residue mountain is the self-provided railway freight yard of Beixi Iron and Steel Works. More than a dozen wagons have already parked there, waiting to load the waste residue and send it to Cenzhou Port, the northernmost point of Anhe Province. Several wheeled forklifts were panting heavily, beating the waste residue with large shovels, and then loaded up a full shovel and transported it to the train wagon.

The ancients said that the foolish old man moved mountains. What we are doing now is not much different from the foolish old man. Zeng Yongtao expressed emotion in a wild way, and at the same time he was thinking of a report to be sent to the provincial government. The title was Japan's Foolish Old Man Moving the Mountain is used to praise the charitable deeds of the Great East Asia Shared Green Foundation.

What Yugong moved was just an ordinary mountain. What Mr. Chuan Dao helped us move away was a waste mountain that would cause serious environmental pollution. Therefore, Mr. Chuan Dao's contribution is greater than that of Yu Gong. Liu Xuping Added without losing time. He is the little Liu who accompanied Kishida Kunio last time, and he got a little disgraced in Pingyuan last time. This time, he desperately hopes to accompany Kawashima Ichiro to Pingyuan earlier, and give Qin Hai a good fight. The face of a guy who knows the time.

We Japanese have brought a lot of trouble to the Asian people in the past, and now we are doing more to atone for what happened back then. Kawashima Ichiro said to the crowd in Japanese, and Liu Xuping quickly translated the words into Chinese. All the people present were moved when they heard this, and they all nodded to Ichiro Kawashima in respect.

The Greater East Asia Shared Green Foundation, which Ichiro Kawashima belongs to, is a real non-profit organization, and it has indeed funded some environmental protection public welfare activities such as planting trees and grass in various Asian countries. The funds of the foundation come from the sponsorship of various companies in Japan, and Fukuoka Club is also one of their sponsors. Ichiro Kawashima also had some contacts with Kunio Kishida for this reason.

A month ago, Kunio Kishida specifically approached Ichiro Kawashima, expressing that the Fukuoka Club would donate a sum of money to help a city in China named Beixi clean up the waste residue left by smelting steel, and asked the Green Foundation to help with the operation. For such a request, Kawashima Ichiro didn't feel any difficulty, but it was a little strange. It is not uncommon for companies to pay for public welfare, but for cleaning up slag, it seems a little too enthusiastic.

I hope Kawashima-kun can help transport these slag back to Japan, and we will handle it at our discretion. Kunio Kishida finally added a request in a thoughtful way.

So it's like this... Kawashima Ichiro suddenly realized. They've done something like this more than once. The main business of the Green Foundation is indeed public welfare and environmental protection, but why not occasionally act as a commercial spy or commercial thief? Can the things done by non-profit organizations be called stealing? At best, it can only be regarded as stealing.

Kishida-kun, can I find out what is worth paying attention to in these slags? Kawashima Ichiro asked knowingly.

Kishida Kunio smiled and did not answer, but asked instead: Kawashima-kun, how much commission does the Foundation need to do this, and does Kawashima-kun have any requirements?

In terms of commission, it should be extracted according to the normal management cost. Ichiro Kawashima said, As for me personally...it's not too late to talk about this issue in the future. By the way, Kishida-kun, I hope you can take Beixi City's Tell me about the situation in detail, I don't want to do something without thinking.

After fully understanding the various situations of Beixi, Ichiro Kawashima set off for China. The Green Foundation has also carried out some public welfare activities in China, so it has accumulated a lot of contacts in China. Ichiro Kawashima took advantage of these relationships to quickly connect with Anhe Province, including the implementation of troublesome things such as slag transportation.

Next, Ichiro Kawashima, accompanied by Zeng Yongtao and Liu Xuping, came to Beixi. Qin Hai regards the two piles of waste slag from Pingyuan Iron and Steel Plant as precious, but in the eyes of Ichiro Kawashima, the slag from Beixi Iron and Steel Plant is more worthy of attention, because the scale of Beixi Iron and Steel Plant is larger, and it has always been In production, the backlog of slag is dozens of times that of Pingyuan Iron and Steel Plant.

Hearing that the Japanese came to help him clean up the waste slag, all Beixi officials, including Chapeide, were very happy. Ichiro Kawashima told them a very sensational story, making them firmly believe that Ichiro Kawashima's move was a manifestation of friendship between China and Japan, and it was the story of the great Japanese version of Bethune.

After meeting with Ichiro Kawashima, Chai Peide left Beixi to go out for a meeting, and told Liu Zunian, director of the economic committee, and Wang Yiqiao, director of Beixi Iron and Steel Plant, to assist Ichiro Kawashima in his work. After two days of preparation, the work of cleaning up the slag officially started today. Ichiro Kawashima and others came here to witness this great moment.

Seeing the waste slag being shoveled into the wagon one by one, Kawashima Ichiro was very happy. Before leaving Japan, he had another private conversation with Kunio Kishida. Kunio Kishida promised him that the commission under his personal name would be linked to the slag shipped back to Japan. The more he shipped back, the more reward he would get. more and more. In the eyes of Kawashima Ichiro, there is no such thing as a mountain of slag in front of it, it is simply an inexhaustible gold mountain.

Beep...

With the sound of two horns, a jeep rushed into the waste dump like flying, and stopped in front of Kawashima Ichiro and others with a creak, which shocked everyone. Wang Yiqiao thought that the driver in the factory was doing something tricky and was about to explode, but found that the person who got off the passenger seat of the jeep was obviously Liu Zunian, director of the Municipal Economic Commission.

Director Liu, why are you here? Wang Yiqiao quickly changed his angry face into a smiling face, and extended his hand to greet him.

Liu Zunian shook hands with Wang Yiqiao, greeted Zeng Yongtao, and finally came to Kawashima Ichiro, nodded and said, Mr. Kawashima, how is the progress now?

Liu Xuping was doing translation beside him. After listening to Liu Zunian's words, Kawashima Ichiro replied: The progress is very smooth. It is estimated that the first batch of slag will be loaded soon, and then the train can start. However, all the slag here must be transported away. , It may take several months, and I am afraid it will cause a lot of trouble for Mr. Liu.

No trouble, no trouble. Liu Zunian waved his hands and said, Mr. Chuan Dao cleaned up the garbage for us, so we dare not say anything troublesome. But, Mr. Chuan Dao, can we delay the delivery of the slag from more than a dozen wagons today? , we may still have some formalities to deal with.”

Procedures? Kawashima Ichiro was stunned for a moment. He remembered that when he talked about this matter with Liu Zunian two days ago, Liu Zunian claimed that all the procedures would be simplified and all the green lights were given. How come when it is time to depart, what procedures will come out?

Thinking of this, he suspiciously raised his eyes to look behind Liu Zunian, and found that he was followed by two people, one old and one young. The younger one got off the driver's seat of the jeep, he must be Liu Zunian's driver. He was about to look away, but suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his mind: Why does this young man look familiar?

Liu Xuping, who was acting as an interpreter, also followed Kawashima Ichiro's gaze to see the two people behind Liu Zunian. When he saw the young man, his eyes were about to become bloodshot. He knew this person too well. Is it Qin Hai from Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory? And the one next to him is the director Ning who only knows how to laugh. How did these two people come to Beixi? Judging from the situation, it seems that they came here specially to smash the scene.

Wang Yiqiao was not happy to be beside him, stepped forward, and said to Liu Zunian: Old Liu, what happened, isn't everything already arranged, why did you suddenly change your mind?

Beixi Iron and Steel Works is a big company, and Wang Yiqiao has some status in the city, so he is not afraid of Liu Zunian. The matter of cleaning up the waste residue is very good for Beixi Iron and Steel Plant, and it can be regarded as a brilliant achievement for Wang Yiqiao himself, so he attaches great importance to it. Hearing that Liu Zunian suddenly came to stop him, he was naturally very unhappy, and his tone of voice became a bit stiff.

Old Wang, things have changed, why don't you let Director Ning of Qingfeng Factory tell you. Liu Zunian kicked the ball to Ning Zhongying and asked Ning Zhongying to explain to Wang Yiqiao.

Whether there are important mineral elements in the waste slag, Liu Zunian is not clear, and does not want to find out. Just now, Ning Zhongying rushed from Pingyuan with Qin Hai in a hurry, broke into his office, asked him to come forward to prevent the Japanese from transporting the slag, and made him confused. After hearing Qin Hai's introduction, Liu Zunian was also full of suspicion, wondering whether Qin Hai's words were true or not. Under Ning Zhongying's hard work, Liu Zunian reluctantly agreed to take the two of them to Beixi Iron and Steel Works to confront Kawashima Ichiro face to face. As for how they negotiate, Liu Zunian did not intend to participate.

Wang Yiqiao turned his head to Ning Zhongying, and was about to ask, but he heard Ning Zhongying say to the young man next to him: Xiao Qin, tell me.

Hearing this sentence, Wang Yiqiao almost wanted to scold his mother. Nima, a group of you guys came to my site to make trouble, and you pushed back and forth and refused to give a happy word. Liu Zunian didn't want to explain, so he just pushed it to Ning Zhongying. Anyway, Ning Zhongying is also an old man in Beixi's economic circle. Unexpectedly, even Ning Zhongying didn't bother to say anything, and called a young man with no beard. Does this still take me, a big factory manager, seriously?

Director Liu, what's going on, who is this young man, and what right does he have to speak here?

In a panic, Wang Yiqiao immediately went mad at Liu Zunian. I don't want to listen to some young man explaining to me, I just need an explanation from you, the director of the economic committee!
