"It's Ms. Feng and Mr. Peman. Welcome, please sit down. Xiao Feng, you can find a place to sit down."

Meng Fanze walked out from behind the desk to greet Feng Xiaochen and his party and greeted them to take their seats. A 20-year-old girl followed Meng Fanze and was interpreting for him.

After the guests and the host and the guests shook hands and greeted each other, they sat down separately. Feng Shuyi and Peiman sat on two sofas, and Feng Xiaochen found a chair to sit next to him. After Meng Fanze greeted everyone, he sat back on the big chair behind the desk. His secretary Zhao Rui sat next to him and recorded the conversation.

The service staff came in and poured tea for everyone, and then quietly left the room.

"Mr. Minister, I'm very presumptuous to disturb you. First of all, please allow me to express my sincere gratitude to you for your care for Xiaochen on behalf of my mother-in-law Ms. Yan Leqin." At the beginning of the talks, Feng Shuyi took the lead in speaking, but what she said was not a business matter.

When Feng Xiaochen was in Germany, he once told Yan Leqin about Meng Fanze's support for him. This time, Feng Shuyi came to China, and Yan Leqin specifically told her to express her gratitude. Yan Leqin could imagine how prominent the deputy minister of a country with a population of 1 billion is. His grandson could be seen as a minister at a young age. This can be said to be a luck cultivated in his previous life. If she is an elder, she would be too ungrateful.

Feng Shuyi's words surprised Meng Fanze. He looked at Feng Xiaochen and then said with a smile: "Ms. Feng, you and Ms. Yan are both too polite. Xiao Feng is our cadre and has done a lot of excellent work. It is the organization's responsibility to care for him. In fact, I did not take care of him much, but he helped me a lot. I should express my gratitude to you."

"Mr. Minister is really joking. Xiaochen is just a child." Feng Shuyi said, and glanced at Feng Xiaochen jokingly. Sure enough, seeing Feng Xiaochen's face looked awkward, probably because he was dissatisfied with being underestimated.

"Little Feng said that Ms. Feng is here to invest this time?" Meng Fanze brought the words to the point.

"Yes." Feng Shuyi said, pointing to Perman sitting beside him, saying, "I came to China this time and came here with Mr Perman. Mr Perman is a special commissioner of the German Philo Metal Processing Company and is here for investment inspection. He has obtained the company's full authorization and can sign a joint venture agreement with China. The president of the Philo Company is very familiar with a student of my mother-in-law, so it can be said that this investment was facilitated by my mother-in-law."

"Thanks to Ms. Yan for her patriotism." Meng Fanze said. After saying that, he turned his head to Peiman and said, "Mr. Peiman, on behalf of the Chinese government, I welcome your company to invest in China."

"Thank you, Mr. Minister." Peiman said quickly. In front of Meng Fanze, he felt a little uncomfortable, for fear that if he said something wrong, it would cause the minister's displeasure. A Chinese minister may not be able to control him, but his boss will definitely care about the minister's emotions. If the minister is not happy, will the boss take his anger on him?

"What kind of business does Mr. Peman's company engage in?" Meng Fanze asked as if he was a regular person.

"Our company mainly makes oil film bearings and also makes screws on machine tools." Peiman replied properly.

Meng Fanze nodded and said, "Oil film bearing? I have heard of this thing. Is this thing used on internal combustion engines, compressors and blowers? What are the benefits of it compared to the ball bearings we usually use? Xiao Feng, can you tell me?"

Feng Xiaochen said: "Oil film bearings are a type of sliding bearings. According to the principle of the generation of the pressure of the fluid lubricating film, they are divided into fluid dynamic pressure bearings, fluid static pressure bearings and fluid dynamic and static pressure bearings. According to the different fluid media, they are divided into mineral lubricating oil, non-Newtonian fluid, other liquids and air, etc.

The biggest advantage of oil film bearings is that there is a thin oil film between the spindle and the bearing, which does not have direct contact between metals, so it will hardly wear, have very little friction resistance, and its service life is much longer than that of ball bearings. In addition, oil film bearings also have good vibration absorption capabilities, stable operation and low noise, making them very suitable for heavy load equipment such as large generators and steel rolling mills. In addition, oil film bearings are widely used on precision machine tools with high accuracy and speed requirements."

Meng Fanze listened carefully to Feng Xiaochen's introduction and smiled at Feng Shuyi, "Haha, Ms. Feng, have you heard that your nephew has a very high professional level and is a rare talent."

"Mr. Minister praises him so much, children will be proud." Feng Shuyi put on an aunt's posture, which made Feng Xiaochen snort coldly next to him to show his dissatisfaction.

Meng Fanze didn't care about the fight between his aunt and nephew. He continued, "Xiao Feng, please introduce it too."

"Okay." Feng Xiaochen said, "As far as I know, there are many companies in China that can produce oil film bearings, with more than 20 of them of a certain scale. The product types cover the entire series from high-speed light load to low-speed heavy load. However, due to historical reasons, my country's oil film bearing technology still has a certain gap compared with Western developed countries, such as Germany, especially in the lack of theoretical research methods for oil film bearings, which leads to relatively backward product performance. Oil film bearings on large heavy-duty equipment have to rely on imports, and some precision equipment also requires imported oil film bearings.

I have learned roughly from the import and export department that our country's foreign exchange expenditure on importing oil film bearings is as high as more than US$3 million per year, which is still the case when many companies cannot import due to lack of foreign exchange."

The data Feng Xiaochen mentioned was learned through Wang Weilong. Wang Weilong has some friends in the foreign trade system, and the information on this aspect is relatively comprehensive.

Meng Fanze wrote a number on the note paper in front of him and asked: "Can this situation be effectively improved after introducing the technology of Philo Company?"

"Mr. Peman needs to explain this." Feng Xiaochen smiled and made a gesture to Peman. He could actually answer this question, but since Peman was brought, he couldn't let him pretend to be mute next to him, right?

Hearing Feng Xiaochen's name, Peman quickly cheered up and replied seriously: "Mr. Minister, please allow me to introduce you to Filo Company. Filo Company is a well-known oil film bearing manufacturer in Germany. We have more than 20 proprietary technologies and have also participated in a number of patent pools related to bearings. We went to China to seek joint venture opportunities this time, and planned to move all the oil film bearing production business in Germany to China for the purpose of carrying out the corresponding patents. The corresponding patents will also be used for joint ventures in China.

We believe that after the establishment of this joint venture, it will be able to produce a large number of advanced oil film bearing products that meet the needs of Chinese companies, and realize import substitution for China. In addition, part of our products will be re-sold to the European market, which will be able to obtain a large amount of foreign exchange for the Chinese government."

Hearing the translator retelling Perman, Meng Fanze showed a meaningful smile on his face. He looked at Feng Xiaochen and said, "Xiao Feng, it seems that Philo Company has a lot of affection for China. It thinks what Chinese companies think and what Chinese companies are anxious about. This spirit of internationalism is worthy of praise."

Feng Xiaochen rolled his eyes. He knew that Meng Fanze was just teasing him. As early as when Feng Xiaochen had just returned from Germany and reported to Meng Fanze that he wanted to start a joint venture, Meng Fanze had already seen that the so-called foreign-funded enterprise should have something to do with Feng Xiaochen. Just now, Peman said many high-sounding words, each of which was said from a Chinese standpoint, which was not like the tone of a German-funded enterprise employee. Meng Fanze suddenly understood the mystery of this, and was quite emotional in his heart: Feng Xiaochen really had a few tricks, and he could even invite a German to sing this double act with him.

"Xiao Zhao." Meng Fanze turned to his secretary and said, "You have heard just now that the products of Filo Company are of great help to the modernization of our country's machinery industry. You should pay attention to the establishment of Filo Company's joint venture in China. After Mr. Peiman came back from the inspection in Nanjiang, you will accompany him to the Foreign Investment Management Committee and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce to handle the registration and registration of joint ventures. Be sure to seize the time to ensure that the joint venture project is put into production as soon as possible."

"I understand, Minister!" Secretary Zhao Rui responded.

Feng Xiaochen brought Feng Shuyi and Peiman to meet Meng Fanze, but in fact he was just an explanation to Meng Fanze. Although he did not say anything in front of Meng Fanze, Peiman's performance was enough to let Meng Fanze understand the real situation of the joint venture. Meng Fanze had promised Feng Xiaochen that he would give him some help in industrial and commercial registration, but the premise was that Feng Xiaochen had to explain what the joint venture was.

It was confirmed from Perman that the right to speak in the joint venture was in Feng Xiaochen's hands, and the products produced were also the basic parts urgently needed for national industrial construction. Meng Fanze was not worried about this company, so he told Zhao Rui to help run errands. If the company's origin is unknown, or the investor has malicious intentions towards China, Meng Fanze would not make such a hole casually.

After completing this procedure, Feng Shuyi and his party stayed in the capital for another two days, and then set off respectively. Feng Shuyi, Alkan and Danpier, accompanied by Chang Min and Yan Fusheng, set off for the cold water mine to inspect the stone raw materials. Peman followed Feng Xiaochen to Nanjiang to implement the joint venture.
