After arranging the dinner, Feng Xiaochen was finally able to escape. With Zheng Yuxin and Meng Yang, he left the airport and boarded the Iveco minibus sent by the company. The factory directors and managers of various companies made time to meet the overseas personnel from their units. They patted their subordinates on the shoulders, said a lot of greetings and encouragement, and made various promises. There is no need to repeat this.

On Iveco, Feng Xiaochen took the thermos handed over by Meng Yang, took a sip of the tea that was neither cold nor hot, and then said to everyone with a smile: "You have been waiting for a long time, have you been waiting? This plane took off an hour late, and I'm afraid you will be anxious."

"How can it be!" Zheng Yuxin said with a smile and angrily, "I heard that Mr. Feng led a group to a dislike in Munich. Everyone said they wanted to pick you up at the airport. Later, Director Liu said that the company had regulations that prohibited picking and sending you. This regulation was formulated by Mr. Feng. If you violated it, you will definitely be criticized. In this way, everyone dared not come. Take me as an example. This qualification for picking up the plane was also stolen from Director Liu."

"Haha, Sister Liu is so old, how dare I ask her to pick me up? Even Xiao Zheng, there is no need to come. Just let Xiao Meng and the driver come over." Feng Xiaochen said.

Director Liu, the company's old office director, Liu Yanping. As early as when Feng Xiaochen first arrived at the Metallurgical Bureau of the Economic Commission, Liu Yanping was the office director of the unit. Later, Luo Xiangfei was ordered to form the restructuring office, and Liu Yanping became the office director of the restructuring office. Although she was a little short, she had very strong ability to do things, so although she was nearly 0 years old, she had not retired. She had to wait until young people like Zheng Yuxin could take on the responsibility before she left her post.

I don’t know when it started, but a tradition of picking up and sending people has emerged in some government agencies. Wherever the leaders are going on business trips, middle-level cadres in the unit have to go to the airport to see them off, and when they come back, they have to greet them again, which is very wasteful. Although the equipment company is an enterprise, it has transformed from the heavy installation office and has a very strong agency color. Some middle-level cadres in the company also want to imitate the appearance of other units and ask the leaders for picking up and sending people.

When Luo Xiangfei was the general manager, because he was older and had few business trips, he did not create too many opportunities for picking up and dropping off for these people. After Feng Xiaochen took over as the general manager, he still ran around like he used to be the assistant to the general manager. When he saw this kind of picking up and dropping off scene, he immediately asked the company office to issue a document stating that any company leader or department leader on a business trip, irrelevant subordinates would not be picked up and dropped off at the airport, station, etc., which was considered to curb this unhealthy trend.

In this document, there are different regulations on different business trips, such as the difference between business trips in China and business trips abroad. Feng Xiaochen led a delegation to Germany for exhibition this time. After all, he sent a director or deputy director to pick him up the plane, which was allowed. After all, he had to consider the views of other corporate personnel who came back on the same plane. It cannot give people the feeling that the leaders are neglected by their subordinates. But if Feng Xiaochen only traveled for a short period of business trip in China and Zheng Yuxin went to the airport to pick him up, it would be a violation of the regulations and would be criticized.

After saying these polite words, Zheng Yuxin began to formally report her work. She said: "Mr. Feng, Director Qu called yesterday to ask about your return time. Knowing that you are back today, he instructed him that if you have worked hard all the way, you can go home and rest first and report to him tomorrow. If you feel that your health is OK, then you can go to him at any time after you come back."

Director Qu is the deputy director in charge of the equipment company in charge of the Economic and Trade Commission. He is named Qu Jianzhong. When Feng Xiaochen was in Germany, he had called Qu Jianzhong several times to report on the relevant situation at the exhibition. When he learned that the sales of the China exhibition group were good, Qu Jianzhong was very happy and was eager to learn more. Although he gave Feng Xiaochen two choices, allowing Feng Xiaochen to get off the plane and go home to rest first, and then report to the work tomorrow, you must not take the leader's politeness seriously. The leader said that he would wait at any time to listen to your report. Do you dare to really go home and have a sleep first and let the leader wait?

"Go directly to the Economic and Trade Commission." Feng Xiaochen ordered, then pulled his suitcase from Meng Yang, took out a bag of things from it, and handed it to Zheng Yuxin, and said, "I'll go to the Economic and Trade Commission to report on work. Xiao Zheng, you can go back to the company first and ask Meng Yang to stay and wait for me. These small gifts were given by my grandmother and aunt. Take them back and share them with the comrades in the office. There are not many things, so it's just a matter of the same thing."

"Hehe, I knew it would be beneficial to pick up Mr. Feng. Every time Mr. Feng came back from abroad, he would bring us good things. By the way, Mr. Feng, for the sake of my picking you up at the airport, can I choose these gifts first?"

Zheng Yuxin took the bag with a smile, opened it and looked at it with interest, and at the same time she was cute to Feng Xiaochen. Zheng Yuxin is actually a second-generation official, and her father is a ministerial cadre. This kind of imported small gift is not new to her at all. However, the things Feng Xiaochen gave were extraordinary, and she had to show her likes. This is the correct way to accept the leader's gift.

Feng Xiaochen just smiled and didn't say anything. Zheng Yuxin was also an old man who reinstalled the business, and her personal relationship with Feng Xiaochen was very good. In the past, when Feng Xiaochen was just a deputy director, Zheng Yuxin would pull Feng Xiaochen's arm to ask him for gifts. If Feng Xiaochen didn't give it to her, she and several other girls would chase him and "beat him" him. But now the situation is different. Although she deliberately wanted to imitate the past, she seemed to be indifferent to Feng Xiaochen, how could she be as unscrupulous as in the past?

Alas, this is the trouble of being a leader. People should take it seriously, and it is not as unrestrained as when they were an ordinary cadre in the past.

Iveco drove downstairs to the Economic and Trade Commission. Feng Xiaochen and Meng Yang got out of the car, walked straight into the building, and came to Qu Jianzhong's office door in a familiar way. Seeing Feng Xiaochen coming, the secretary went in and reported, and then came out with a smile and led Feng Xiaochen into the office.

"Xiao Feng, thank you for your hard work!" Qu Jianzhong walked out from behind the large desk, walked up to shake hands with Feng Xiaochen enthusiastically, and greeted him intimately. He was only in his early 50s this year, and in his position, he was very young and strong. Feng Xiaochen has been dealing with him for several years and has a very good understanding of each other. Qu Jianzhong has quite appreciated Feng Xiaochen's ability and character. Feng Xiaochen also knew that Qu Jianzhong was a wise leader and the relationship between the two was very close.

After the greetings, Qu Jianzhong pulled Feng Xiaochen down on the big sofa. The secretary poured tea for Feng Xiaochen, then took out his notebook and prepared to sit down next to him to record the conversation between the two. Qu Jianzhong waved his hand to him and said, "You don't have to be with him here. Xiao Feng and I just chat. Let's talk about work after Xiao Feng rests. Just stay outside."

The secretary smiled slightly, got up and went out, and carefully closed the door. He knew that his leader and Feng Xiaochen must still talk about work, but he would not talk too much about specific things, but should have a clean and more macro ideas. As for talking about chatting, it was just a joke. Can these two people still talk about the European Championship together?

Seeing the secretary go out, Qu Jianzhong turned his head and said to Feng Xiaochen with a smile: "You just got off the plane, right? Haven't I explained to your company office that you will go home and rest today, and it's not too late to come and report on your work tomorrow. Didn't they tell you?"

Feng Xiaochen said: "I said that, but I slept well on the plane and I don't need to rest now. This time I went to Germany, there were many new situations and I needed to ask you for instructions in time, so I came here."

"Well, I guess you have a lot of experience. Since you said you don't need to rest, let's talk together. I'm looking forward to hearing some new ideas from you." Qu Jianzhong said.

Feng Xiaochen knew Qu Jianzhong's working style and did not go around in circles at the moment, but said bluntly: "The most important thing is the problem of the Pitsig iron ore in the country of Gabe. I have reported it to you on the phone last time."

Qu Jianzhong nodded and said, "This matter is indeed very important. After receiving your call, I specifically asked someone to find out. According to the analysis of experts from the mineral department, the long-term reserves of Pitsig iron ore may reach more than 8 billion tons, which is a very valuable iron ore. If we can participate in the operation of this iron ore, it will be of great significance to ensure the safety of my country's iron ore imports.

However, the iron ore is currently under development, and the mining cost is much higher than that of Australia and Brazil. In addition, the transportation distance is far, and the price is more than 30% higher than that of imported Australian iron ore, and it is completely uncompetitive. Several large steel mills are not very interested in using the ore of the Pitsig iron ore, let alone participating in the investment in iron ore. The plan you mentioned on the phone may have some difficulties in reality."

Feng Xiaochen said: "I guess this is also coming. However, if people do not have long-term plans, they will have immediate worries. Several steel mills can reject Pitsig's iron ore from the perspective of the State Economic and Trade Commission, they cannot be so short-sighted. We must firmly take this iron ore."

"You're right." Qu Jianzhong said, when he arrived at his position, how could such a debt be settled? He said: "The problem now is that the country's finances are still very tight. If you want to invest in the Pitsig iron ore, you can only rely on enterprises. The country cannot afford to pay. And enterprises have their own little ones. We are now engaged in a market economy, emphasizing the separation of government and enterprises, and the government is not convenient for the government to directly issue orders to enterprises. So how to persuade these large steel mills to participate in the investment is a difficult task."
