When Xue Mucang suggested that he could find a company to sponsor, Feng Xiaochen was ready to pay the money himself.
Last time his aunt Feng Shuyi came to China, Feng Xiaochen asked her to bring a few more drawings back to Germany. A few days ago, he had received a letter from Feng Shuyi saying that those drawings were sold for hundreds of thousands of marks, and they are currently in Germany and he can call them at any time.
The technologies sold by Feng Xiaochen are actually worthless in the future. These are some transitional innovations that can create some benefits for the company at present, but will soon be replaced by new technologies. For those epoch-making technologies, Feng Xiaochen will not sell them casually. Of course, he cannot sell them, because such technologies cannot be achieved by drawing drawings alone. What Feng Xiaochen only understands some core concepts, and requires a complete scientific research team and an industrial system to turn them into reality.
Feng Xiaochen's purpose of selling technology is to accumulate some funds for Chenyu Company. If the company wants to develop new products, it requires a lot of prerequisite investment, and this money can only be provided by him. He plans to sell some small inventions and creations abroad in the future, and he has to save millions in his hands to be at ease.
As a person with a net worth of over one million, it is a matter of course to pay some money to sponsor a girl he has a good impression of. The only thing he is worried about is that Ding Haisheng said 30,000 or 50,000, so he felt that it was not worth it. Now that he heard that only 2,000 yuan is enough, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, he certainly cannot pay money in his own name, otherwise it will cause an uproar. It is not convenient for him to use Chenyu Company's name, because the company still has 30% of its equity in Tongchuan County. Although he has the right to make decisions, there must be an explanation for spending such unjust money?
The plan he considered was to do this sponsorship in the name of German Philo Company. He had the final say, and domestic people had no way to verify its decision-making basis. The only thing that made Feng Xiaochen unable to get was whether the Ministry of Machinery was willing to accept a sponsorship fee from abroad, and would this cause any sensitive nerves?
"That's right, Director Ding."
Feng Xiaochen organized his own language in his mind and said to Ding Haisheng:
"At the beginning of this year, I went on a business trip to West Germany and came into contact with a German company. Its leaders liked Chinese culture very much and had always been committed to Sino-German friendship. I heard that he had funded Chinese students in Germany. Later, the company also invested in and established a joint venture in China. At that time, I was dispatched by the Metallurgical Bureau to do translation work for them for a period of time.
I think if this company is invited to provide sponsorship for the welders competition, they should agree. You just said that the sponsorship fee is about 2,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 2,500 marks, right? This is not a large amount for German companies. I just don’t know if our Ministry of Machinery can accept support from foreign companies.”
"Of course there is no problem!" Ding Haisheng blurted out. After saying that, he realized that he was not calm enough, so he quickly changed to a gentle tone and said, "If even foreign companies can provide support for us, it means that our activities have had an impact. This is a good thing. As for the amount, it doesn't necessarily require a lot. Even 2,000 marks is enough. This is mainly a meaning. We are not short of this amount of money, right?"
"Uh..." Feng Xiaochen realized that he had misunderstood. What he was worried about was whether he was willing to accept sponsorship from foreign companies, but he regarded sponsorship from foreign companies as a kind of honor.
Think about it, now it is now when it is fully opened, the word "foreign" represents advanced, correct, and trendy. If you find a Longshan Electric Factory to sponsor it, people may think you are here to join in the fun, but if it is Philo Company, then no one will say "Not even foreigners" is an important basis for proving that something is right or wrong now. Although some leaders often say the word "respecting foreign countries and fascinating foreign countries", if you do not respect foreign countries and fascinating foreign countries, the leader will not be happy.
"If Director Ding thinks this plan is feasible, I can contact the German side immediately. They have now sent a specialist to be responsible for the joint venture in Nanjiang Province. He can make a decision of 2,000 marks," said Feng Xiaochen.
"Okay, please contact them quickly." Ding Haisheng said.
The welder competition has ended and an award ceremony will be held tomorrow, so matters such as going abroad must be decided immediately. Feng Xiaochen did not dare to delay, so he asked An Donghui to find him a long-distance phone number in the department, and directly asked Chenyu Company, which was far away in Nanjiang, to speak specifically for Peiman. Peiman naturally obeyed his boss, and immediately sent a statement to the machinery department using the company's fax machine, claiming that Feiluo Company was very impressed by the welder competition organized by the Ministry of Machinery of China and was willing to sponsor 2,000 marks to fund an additional quota for training in Japanese benzene.
After receiving this fax copy signed by Peman, Ding Haisheng immediately went to the deputy minister in charge of the training and reported the matter to him. Ding Haisheng focused his report on the sponsorship of the Welder Competition of Philo, Germany, and it was an unimportant condition for the matter of adding a quota.
Sure enough, I heard that a German company expressed appreciation for the Welders Competition. Deputy Minister Long Yan was very happy and said that this matter could be written into a briefing and submitted to relevant leaders. In the future, it could be written into summary materials as a highlight. As for the German side's request to use the money to fund an additional quota, the deputy minister only asked about Ding Haisheng's funding situation. When he knew that there was no need to increase the funds, he agreed readily.
Think about it, international friends all suggested that we send more workers out for training, and for this purpose, we specially sponsored 2,000 marks of foreign exchange. How can we oppose it? The 20 places were approved by the Ministry and 1 place was sponsored by foreign investors. When writing the materials, it could be written as "20+1", which might also arouse the interest of superiors. When the leader asks, will it become a good story if we explain this way?
"Okay, this matter has been decided." When Ding Haisheng came back from the deputy minister, he was full of spring breeze and was much more polite to Feng Xiaochen and Xue Mucang. At the beginning, people came to ask him for help, and he could be arrogant. But now, things have become a political achievement for him. How could he give others a good face? A capable person like Feng Xiaochen who can help German companies provide sponsorship to the Chinese government with a call. He shouldn't he coax it quickly?
"Thank you so much for Director Ding. You see, you've been busy until you get off work. Why don't we go outside and have some casual meals?" Feng Xiaochen invited warmly.
Ding Haisheng refused: "I won't bother Director Feng today. I also made an appointment with someone to discuss some work matters in the evening, which was agreed in advance. Otherwise, we would have to be the party and invite Director Feng and Director Xue to have a meal."
Feng Xiaochen didn't know whether Ding Haisheng was saying true or not, but the other party's rejection was very obvious, so he didn't force it, just pretended to be regretful and said, "Oh, Director Ding is so dedicated. He has to work at night, which is really worth our study. Well, we won't waste Director Ding's time today, and we will come to thank Director Ding another day."
After leaving the training department, Feng Xiaochen and Xue Mucang returned to the Mechanical and Electrical Service with An Donghui. Feng Xiaochen once again expressed his desire to treat An Donghui to dinner to show his gratitude. An Donghui waved his hand and said:
"Xiao Feng, I dare not treat you as a treat. I should have invited you to dinner. Lao Li told me on the phone about the emergency repairs in the camp that if you were not hosting the scene at the time, we would have been very passive.
Didn’t we do the training of the lesbian named Du Xiaodi just now? I suggest that we go to the guesthouse where they live together. On behalf of the Mechanical and Electrical Service, I invite all the meritorious personnel who participated in the emergency repair of the camp to have a meal and express our gratitude to you. What do you think? Also, Lao Xue, you have to go, even if you are from our side."
"Haha, Director An invites me to dinner, how dare I shirk it." Xue Mucang said with a smile. He turned to Feng Xiaochen and said, "Xiao Feng, I think Director An's arrangement is good. Those masters from Tongyuan Boiler Factory have done a lot of work. It is appropriate for us to invite them to a meal."
"Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient." Feng Xiaochen responded. He remembered that Liu Xiong was still waiting for their news downstairs. It is estimated that Du Xiaodi is crying now, letting her know the good news earlier, so that the little girl would not be sad. Thinking of this, he also felt that it was a good idea for everyone to have dinner at the guesthouse where Du Xiaodi and the others lived.
An Donghui asked Feng Xiaochen and the others how they came from. When he heard that Feng Xiaochen was driving by himself, An Donghui expressed his surprise. Finally, everyone agreed that Feng Xiaochen would drive his own jeep and take Liu Xiong with him. Xue Mucang and An Donghui were sitting in the car in the department.
The guesthouse where the welders lived was not far from the machinery department. Feng Xiaochen drove the car and took less than ten minutes to drive. On the road, he and Liu Xiong had already met the caliber, or more directly, he made up a caliber for Liu Xiong and successfully deceived the young welder.
The jeep drove to the front of the guesthouse. Liu Xiong pointed upstairs and said to Feng Xiaochen, "At this time, we will live in this guesthouse. The master and us live on the second floor, and Xiao Du is on the third floor. By the way, should we talk about this to Xiao Du first, or should we meet my master first?"
Feng Xiaochen said, "Of course I went to see Master Li first. Oh, I remembered that I forgot to buy some fruits and pastries on the way just now. It's really not suitable to go to see Master Li empty-handedly."
