"My identity needs to be hidden from others, but I don't need to hide it from you." Zhang Heping waved his hand and said lightly.

"Heping came to see you today, and he definitely didn't plan to hide anything from you. He is a meticulous person. If he doesn't trust you, he will definitely not talk nonsense." Wang Genji also echoed.

Feng Xiaochen was relieved. In his previous life, he had dealt with people from the security department more than once or twice, and knew that the personnel of the security department were also divided into different levels of confidentiality. Some people's identities were so hidden that few people even knew about them. Some people's identities were semi-public in order to cooperate with departments in all aspects. Zhang Heping must be in the latter case. The Reinstallation Office needs to understand some things about Avare, and the security department must have the most information. These information needs to be introduced to the Reinstallation Office by Zhang Heping. If he hides his head and shrinks his tail, it will be a cover-up.

Of course, Zhang Heping did not reveal his identity to outsiders casually. Before that, his institution had already learned about Feng Xiaochen, knew that Feng Xiaochen's life experience was innocent, and he was currently in charge of important tasks, and he was a cadre trained by the Economic Commission. For such people, the security department must establish contacts, and there are many opportunities for cooperation between the two parties in the future.

After understanding this, Feng Xiaochen no longer felt pretentious. He smiled and said to Zhang Heping: "Brother Zhang, in fact, I thought you were not an ordinary person as early as the emergency repairs in the camp. You only asked one question and could name them one by one. This ability is not something that ordinary people can possess."

Zhang Heping also laughed and said, "It's been revealed, it's been revealed. If I had known Xiao Feng, you had such a sharp look, I should have hidden my weaknesses. By the way, when it comes to the emergency repair of the camp, I remembered that there was a very young and beautiful female welder at that time. It seemed that she was staying in the clamp truck with you later. How about it, you didn't show it?"

"This..." Feng Xiaochen stammered.

Wang Genji suddenly reacted and laughed: "Why, Heping, do you know the female welder named Du? I revealed that a few days ago, I met Xiao Feng and her walking together. These two people have now moved together."

"Old Wang, don't make people ambiguity when you speak? It's the girl who passes by the capital. I happen to have a free room there. I'll save some accommodation fee for her. It seems... that." Feng Xiaochen was a little embarrassed. Although he had confessed to Du Xiaodi, the relationship between them was just about holding hands, not as unbearable as Wang Genji said. The society is not so open nowadays. If it really spread that he and Du Xiaodi lived together, it would be a huge scandal.

"Haha, it seems that I have to arrange a few scouts to reconnaissance. This is very important information." Zhang Heping also joked, everyone is men, so it would be harmless to make a joke like this.

After a little quarrel, the relationship between the three people became a little more harmonious. Feng Xiaochen felt a little embarrassed when he heard Zhang Heping's identity. He put away some smiles and said, "Let's talk about business, Brother Zhang, what we need to know, Lao Wang has introduced to you? What information do you have on Avare and Gaizhan? Can you communicate with us?"

Zhang Heping nodded and said, "We have been collecting information from Avare. A few days ago, Genji Trust found us and the organization arranged for me to do this work. I sorted out the internal information and asked someone to do some investigations, but found some things that you might be interested in."

"That's great, tell me." Feng Xiaochen said.

Zhang Heping took out a small notebook and opened it to a page. The ghostly talismans on it contained some inexplicable words, as well as phonetic notes, etc. It must be some recording methods within the security department. Even if outsiders got it, they could not see any clues. He began to introduce the situation on the notebook to Feng Xiaochen and Wang Genji to Avare.

As Luo Yutong once mentioned, Avare is a country that implements a mixed economy. The government has mastered the main economic lifeline, owned a considerable number of state-owned enterprises, imitated the Soviet Union, China and other countries, and formulated its own five-year plan, which looks like a socialist look. At the same time, the government does not prohibit the development of the private economy, and has also introduced a large amount of foreign capital and allowed foreign capital to participate in some important departments. From this point of view, it has a bit of a free market economy.

Because the government has great economic power, corruption is inevitable. It is open secret for officials to receive benefits in various government bidding projects, and the state turns a blind eye to this. Some senior officials even put forward the view that ** is a lubricant for economic development in an informal occasion.

This time, the introduction of the 17oo mm hot rolling mill in the Batin Provincial Steel Plant is an important investment project of Avare. According to previous practice, foreign contractors have to pay kickbacks to the relevant officials so that they can win the project. According to what Zhang Heping’s colleagues learned, several Japanese manufacturers have been doing this work for a long time, and the methods are not new. For example, inviting officials from the Avare Ministry of Industry and Batin Steel Plant to travel to Japan, arranging study opportunities for their children, and giving various high-end gifts, are all unconcealed. You can find out by just asking around.

According to the original intention of the officials of the Ministry of Industry, this production line was intended to be introduced from Japan. Firstly, because Japan has stronger technical strength, everyone is superstitious about Japanese goods, and secondly, it is because Japanese manufacturers promise to give more benefits after the matter is completed. It is not easy to inquire about what the specific content is. Who would have thought that when the Ministry of Industry submitted this plan to the cabinet, it was rejected. The cabinet proposed that if China could provide such equipment, it would be best to introduce it from China.

"Why is this?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

"There are two reasons here, one is bright and one is dark," Zhang Heping said. "The open reason is that China's equipment quotations are lower, and at the same time, Avare is allowed to deduct part of the foreign exchange with exported goods. This is very important for Avare, who is tight for foreign exchange. The prices of Japanese manufacturers' products are too high and they require all to be paid in Japanese yen. With Avare's current economic situation, some of them cannot afford it."

"We knew this from the beginning." Feng Xiaochen said, "So what is the reason in the secret?"

Zhang Heping said: "It is actually an open secret. Avare wants to try to play his role in African affairs and needs to be supported by the international community. As one of the five permanent members of the United Nations, China has a certain voice in this regard. Avare hopes to be able to cooperate economically and trade and strengthen ties with China. Although Japan is an economic power, its political status is far inferior to China. This is why Avare gave up cooperation with Japan."

"I understand." Feng Xiaochen nodded.

International trade has never been a simple economic issue, but is inseparable from international politics. A big country gives small countries some benefits to win over these small countries as their subordinates; a small country gives large countries some benefits to a big country is equivalent to a letter of submission or protection fee to the boss. Conversely, the political relationship between the two countries may also be affected by economic purposes. For example, when two countries with particularly close economic and trade exchanges have political conflicts, both sides will be more restrained to avoid the breakdown of political relations affecting their economic stability.

This is the case when Avare introduced this hot-rolled production line. It hopes to improve its relations with China and seek support from China in some international affairs. It is inevitable that it will make some economic statements. Of course, if China's technology is completely useless, Avare will not use hundreds of millions of investment to waste the water. Political factors play a role in this project only to add a weight, not the only decisive factor.

"Because of this, although Gai Zhan is clamoring to change a supplier all day long, he only says it verbally and has no actual performance. Although he is greedy for money, he does not dare to completely disobey the cabinet's intentions." Zhang Heping said.

Wang Genji also understood and said, "Since that's the case, what do we say to this surname, Gai Fei? Just look for Avare's cabinet directly. Let the cabinet express its opinion, and Gai Zhan dares to say something wrong?"

Zhang Heping smiled without saying a word, while Feng Xiaochen shook his head and said, "Old Wang, things are not that simple. The King of Hell is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult to deal with. Even if the cabinet nods, Gai Zhan cannot refuse. In the future, in the process of specific project cooperation, people will still have many opportunities to make things difficult for us. We cannot ensure that there are no flaws in every link. If they deliberately find fault, we will be in trouble."

"Oh, that's true." Wang Genji quickly changed his mouth. In fact, he just said this just to be angry. With his experience, of course he also knew that bypassing the specific person in charge and causing something will leave behind future troubles. You can't go to the cabinet to settle any conflicts in the future, right? It doesn't matter if you once or twice. If you have too many times, people will think that your Chinese technology is not good, and you can only rely on finding relationships to solve problems all day long, which is not worth the loss for China.

"What's going on with Gai Zhan? Do you know?" Feng Xiaochen turned his head to Zhang Heping and further verified.
