China time, November 10th.
Yanjing ushered in the first snow since the beginning of winter, which came earlier than previous years. With the falling snowflakes, the airport, which was not busy at first, became completely deserted. When the ground was thin, When there was a layer of snow, the ground staff started busy clearing the runway.
At ten o'clock in the morning, if you look down from the air at this moment, you will find traces of green and red near a parking space far away from the terminal building in the vast white airport.
"Huh? What time is it coming?"
In the snow, old man Wei Qingshan, wearing a green military coat, exhaled and said so. The staff next to him quickly glanced at his watch and said:
"It's said to be a quarter past ten, but with the snow falling, I can't rule out the possibility of a delay."
"Why don't you get in the car and sit for a while, it's a bit cold outside!"
Hearing what the staff said, old man Wei Qingshan smiled and waved his hand and said:
"It doesn't matter, it's just such a small snowflake, it's not enough to get in the car and hide."
"Besides, if it doesn't snow and it doesn't get cold, it will turn into snow."
As soon as the old man Wei Qingshan finished speaking, the old man Zhou Jinlie next to him stamped his feet and said with a smile:
"It's all your fault, Old Wei. What bad idea did you come up with? You still have to come to the airport to greet me?"
"Originally we were just planning to have a celebration party at noon, but now because you insist on coming over, we are waiting here in the heavy snow. Ouch! My old cold legs have suffered!"
"Wang Ye, this kid is really boasting. The leaders of the four ministries and commissions came to the airport to greet him. This is how foreign presidents are treated!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter. It was obvious that old man Zhou Jinlie was not really complaining when he said this, it was just a joke. Next to the parking space, behind were two military green Liberation Trucks. There were eight or nine cars and jeeps beside the truck. Standing at the front were people from the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Machinery, the Ministry of Petroleum and the Ministry of Finance. They couldn't help laughing at this moment.
In the back, there are eight large drums lined up. Young soldiers wearing military coats and tied with red silk are also smiling. They hold drumsticks in their hands and are ready to start beating.
After all, they are not real foreign dignitaries, so naturally they cannot use any kind of honor guard. They can only engage in these prosperous and lively things.
"No, you go back. I have to come anyway, and I didn't call you!"
"You came here on your own initiative! Why are you still blaming others now?"
Hearing old man Zhou Jinlie's teasing voice, old man Wei Qingshan waved his hand to persuade him to retreat, causing laughter to burst out again. Another old man next to him coughed slightly, nodded in agreement and said:
"That makes no sense. Who can say that people can only earn foreign exchange?"
"Seven hundred million US dollars for a trip, tsk tsk tsk, how many things can we do?"
"What's wrong with welcoming such a comrade?"
The person who spoke was none other than the old man Su Mingyuan from the Ministry of Finance. When he heard what the old man Su Mingyuan said, the old man Wei Qingshan next to him snorted coldly and said in a very dissatisfied tone:
"It is not the behavior of a gentleman to be arrogant in front and respectful in back!"
"The money hasn't even arrived yet, but some people have already set their sights on it and are ready to spend it!"
"Listen! Listen to everyone! Is this still true?"
Just when everyone couldn't help laughing again, suddenly the old man from the petroleum department next to him pointed in the direction of the sky and said at the same time:
"Look! Isn't it? It should be, right? It's here! It's here!"
Suddenly everyone turned to look, and sure enough, in the gray sky, a white passenger plane appeared. Then under everyone's gaze, it became bigger and bigger, and at the same time, the roar of the engine was heard!
As everyone watched, the plane got closer and closer, and the sound of the engine became louder and louder. At the same time, old man Zhou Jinlie couldn't help but sigh:
"Sometimes I feel like this kid would be a good player if he was involved in politics!"
"As for his ability to establish relations with foreigners, I don't think there are many people in China who can match him. There was Kikwete of Tanzania before him, and then there was Sattler of Saudi Arabia. Look! He actually came back on a special plane. of!"
"If you go out next time, you can't come back on a rocket?"
In response to old man Zhou Jinlie's teasing, old man Wei Qingshan next to him looked at the plane in the sky, frowned and thought slightly and said:
"I feel that he is particularly keen on international relations, and his vision is particularly accurate. It doesn't matter whether his vision is close or far-sighted. In short, he sees very accurately. He can always find the right customers for the things he does."
"It really complies with what he said. Only by selling the right products to the right customers can you maximize your profits!"
"Actually, if you think about the products he created, some of them are indeed difficult, but compared with the value created, the overall difficulty is actually not at the same level and level. But because in the past, we couldn't see the value and profit in those products. , and naturally no relevant research will be conducted.”
Hearing what the old man Wei Qingshan said, Su Mingyuan next to him couldn't help but sigh and said:
"This is genius. It can make a difference in any field."
"And what you just said, Old Wei, is one-sided. I think things are far from as simple as you said. But in this process, we must also pay attention to another important issue, which is what Wang Ye said before, 'take the initiative to leave.' out' question."
“We have been derailed from the world for too long, resulting in us being unfamiliar with the entire world and not understanding all aspects of the needs of countries and regions around the world. Only when we take the initiative to go out and get in touch with the world can we gradually and deeply understand these questions."
"Obviously Wang Ye is very smart and witty. He can deduce many problems from small things just by reading various bits and pieces of news and even various documents. In my opinion, this is a kind of talent. It is a gift for many of us. It’s an ability that no one has, which makes people sigh and sigh!”
As Su Mingyuan sighed, the old man from the petroleum department next to him said with a smile:
"Hey, anyway, we caught it this time!"
"Originally, we didn't have much hope for this trip to Saudi Arabia, just because the progress of negotiations with Japan was not optimistic. On the one hand, we wanted to try other channels. What if there is a chance? It is also to put some pressure on them. I hope Can gain certain negotiation initiative.”
"Who would have thought that it would just happen, and the price would be 20% lower than the highest expected amount? Hahaha! Wang Ye is also our great hero! I think we should award him a two-pound medal! "
"Not to mention, because our negotiations with Saudi Arabia are progressing well, in the past few days, Japan has suddenly changed its temper and is talking much more nicely! Hahaha!"
The snowflakes became denser and denser, and the roar of the plane engine became more and more harsh. Everyone could no longer talk. They could only see the plane in the distance getting lower and lower, and finally landed on the runway, rolling up a snowflake!
"Come! Knock on it and welcome our foreign exchange-earning hero home!"
With the voice of old man Wei Qingshan, the soldiers behind him suddenly began to beat "dong dong, clang, clang, clang", and the atmosphere at the scene became lively in an instant. It was not until the plane taxied slowly and stopped at the parking position that the ramp truck started. After passing by, the hatch gradually opened.
"Why are all the leaders here?"
"It's snowing, and all the elders come to pick me up as a junior. How can I feel so good?"
As the cabin door opened, Wang Ye took the lead and rushed down. Seeing the old people whose bodies were already covered with snowflakes, he felt his nose was a little sore for a while and said with a smile.
"I didn't see you off when I left, why don't I come to pick you up when I come back?"
"Although you downplayed everything in your report, as if you were that Zhuge Liang, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, but if you think about it, you will know how many difficulties and dangers there are. It is not easy! It is not easy!"
"No matter what, the best thing is to come back safely!"
"Thank you for your hard work this month!"
The old man Zhou Jinlie who was standing at the front looked at Wang Ye who had reddish eyes in front of him. He held Wang Ye's hand without letting go at all and said this at the same time. The old man Wei Qingshan next to him looked quite free and easy, and patted him hard. Wang Ye's shoulder said:
"Old Zhou, what are you doing? It's like life and death."
"You did a good job this time, and I must give you a big credit! Lao Mengdu from the Ministry of Petroleum said that the success of this negotiation on petroleum equipment is due to your contribution, and he also said that he should give it to you. I’ve arranged a big medal weighing two kilograms!”
"Let you be proud of yourself!"
Suddenly there was a burst of cheerful laughter, and there was endless banging sound behind. This scene directly stunned Director Chen and others behind. Although they had already guessed that this Comrade Wang Ye was definitely not simple. , he said that he sells fire-fighting equipment. It is not certain what he actually does, but he cannot say more due to confidentiality reasons, so Director Chen and others were sensible and did not ask any more questions.
But they never expected that so many big leaders would come today, spanning four ministries and commissions. What kind of treatment is this!
"Come on, come on, Xiao Chen, all of you, let me introduce you."
"I guess you have been curious for more than a month. This is Comrade Wang Ye, the factory director of our Laiyang Hongxing Machinery Complex in Luqi Province."
"Before going abroad, they were the pacesetter in earning foreign exchange in our Luqi Province. Relying on their various self-produced fire-fighting and agricultural equipment, they won more than 30 million in foreign exchange orders at the Canton Fair."
"We were not in the same system as us in the past, so you haven't heard of it, but this time, don't we know each other?"
"If there is a chance in the future, we can also cooperate!"
"After all, oil is the blood of industry!"
Perhaps seeing the shock and surprise on the faces of Director Chen and others, the leader surnamed Meng from the Ministry of Petroleum said with a smile. Suddenly Director Chen and others suddenly realized that before they went abroad, they were in a very large unit!
"Director Wang, that's disrespectful! That's disrespectful!"
"But you also deceived us into being stunned, making us really think that you were a young man sent out by some unreliable factory."
"The main reason is that you are too young. Who would dare to think that? I couldn't believe it when the leader said it just now!"
"Sure enough, a hero comes from a boy! I, Lao Chen, admire him!"
Director Chen smiled and took Wang Ye's hand, then shook it vigorously and said this. Immediately, others couldn't help but laugh. After all, at Wang Ye's age, if you don't tell me, you won't believe it, even if you have heard of Red Star Factory Name, even his name, most people don't dare to deal with this number!
Finally, Director Chen showed hesitation, but couldn't help but said with a smile:
"But, leaders, I'm really curious!"
"I also know how difficult it is for us to earn foreign exchange. How can this fire-fighting equipment be so popular?"
Hearing Director Chen ask this, the group of people from the Petroleum Department who went to Saudi Arabia became curious. When Director Chen said this, the leader of the Petroleum Department, Meng, looked at the old man Wei Qingshan. , Old Wei Qingshan said with a smile:
"Actually, it's not a secret, but it has never been made public."
"The signature product of their Red Star Factory was a fire-fighting and rain-boosting rocket that could travel 20 kilometers!"
In fact, seeing the old man Wei Qingshan here, Director Chen and others had already confirmed their suspicions. At this moment, they got a positive answer from the leader. For a while, everyone had different expressions. Some were suddenly enlightened, some were full of emotion, and some were full of emotion. I am still curious, even if arms and rockets are not scarce commodities in the world, how can they be so popular?
However, they were destined not to get the answer, because old man Zhou Jinlie said with a smile:
"Okay, what are we still doing here?
"The celebration party is all ready, let's go!"
Then everyone got in the car and left the airport in the snow. The celebration was held in the large conference room of the Fifth Machinery Department. Even Leader Meng from the Petroleum Department came to join in the fun. As for Director Chen and others, Because my grade was not high enough, I had to regretfully go back to the Petroleum Department.
After sitting down, Mr. Zhou Jinlie first introduced to Wang Ye the people present, such as Leader Su from the Ministry of Finance, Leader Meng from the Ministry of Petroleum, and other important personnel accompanying them. The total number of people was not large. There were less than ten people. After all, Wang Ye's business trip this time required many things to be kept secret. It was impossible for many people to come to the first round of meetings, all of which were relatively high-level.
"So, Wang Ye, how many orders did you sign in total?"
"What's the total amount?"
After a brief exchange of greetings and a round of hot tea to warm up the body, the leader of the Ministry of Finance, Su Mingyuan, couldn't help it anymore and was the first to say this. Although this topic was the most concerned about everyone present, Wei Qingshan still couldn't help it. Jokingly:
"Look! Look! This is the money man, and he is in the eyes of money!"
Accompanied by a burst of laughter, Wang Ye smiled and said under the expectant eyes of everyone:
"The total amount is only 900 million!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a sound of gasping!
