No matter how quarrels were in the venue, once they arrived at the dinner table, the atmosphere completely changed, and it turned into a harmonious atmosphere, making people mistakenly think that they had just ended a united conference and a victorious conference. The Metallurgical Bureau of the State Economic Commission and the Metallurgical Department of the Nanjiang Provincial Department of Metallurgical was considered a superior-level and subordinate relationship. They walked a lot on weekdays, and everyone knew each other. At one end of the wine glass, all the grievances were melted into the alcohol.

"Old Luo, how are your girl? Are you going to college?" Qiao Ziyuan sat in the chief with Luo Xiangfei. After three rounds of drinking, he started to chat. In terms of level, Qiao Ziyuan is half a level higher than Luo Xiangfei, but officials from the ministries and commissions are born with a level bonus, so Qiao Ziyuan is still respectful to Luo Xiangfei.

"I just got admitted to Yenching University and studied economic management. I originally wanted to ask her to study metallurgy, but she insisted on doing economic construction in the future and need management talents. Well, for girls, it's too hard to learn metallurgy, so let her go." Luo Xiangfei replied with a smile.

Qiao Ziyuan praised: "It's really good. It's really amazing to be admitted to Yan University. My second son only got into Nanjiang University this year. Alas, Lao Luo, do you still remember that we have been in the family of our children and in-laws in the past, but now it seems that there is no chance."

"Haha, there is no show, but I don't have to say anything." Luo Xiangfei said, "The words of the children and in-laws are just talks on the scene. His daughter has never seen the other party's son at all. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is nothing to do with him."

After the two of them were joking, Qiao Ziyuan lowered his voice and asked, "Lao Luo, the Economic Commission's determination this time is really so great? 40 million, there is no room for comfort?"

Luo Xiangfei shook his head and said, "No. This is not the determination of the Economic Commission, but the determination of the country. Pugang's background is not much harder than your Nangang, and it is also slow to build it now. It is a blessing that you Nangang can keep it. If you can't suppress 40 million, the Ministry of Finance will probably stop doing it."

"But, 40 million is really impossible to suppress." Qiao Ziyuan sighed, "If it is the domestic civil engineering part, you will suppress it. We don't count on the introduction of equipment part. Those Japanese-books, don't be polite when you speak, just say three times, but when you encounter commercial matters, you are really not vague at all.

The chief negotiator of Sanli Steel Institute, named Yuto Hasea, made it clear as soon as we met that friendship lasts forever and the contract is ruthless. When negotiating with us, the terms and conditions in the contract are tightly stingy, and the price is even more unforgettable. Oh, there is no way, who makes us worse than others? They just want to pinch us, just pinch us."

Luo Xiangfei said: "In terms of equipment, we have no room for anything? For example, some less critical equipment can be considered to be simple and appropriately lowered some requirements. This way, we can squeeze out tens of millions, right?"

"How is this possible?" Qiao Ziyuan said, "They are providing a full set of equipment. We can't tell which place is key and which place is not. This set of equipment has more than 4 tons of drawings alone, and we have never contacted it in the past. How can we grasp the key?"

Luo Xiangfei seized the loophole in Qiao Ziyuan's speech and asked: "Isn't Lu Gong a metallurgical expert? He can't tell where the key is not? Did he have not made any comments on the equipment?"

Qiao Ziyuan said: "I mentioned it, of course I mentioned it. The Japanese side said that this is the complete set of drawings of the hot-rolled production line they built in Japan and is a whole. If they want to be disassembled and do not meet the design requirements in the future, they will be irresponsible."

"This is purely blackmail!" Luo Xiangfei said angrily, "They have the obligation to cooperate with us to optimize the equipment, how can they speak like this."

"Oh, what's the solution? Who made us a developing country?" Qiao Ziyuan said, "When the central government deployed the introduction of this rolling mill line, it had a clear instruction that it must reach the advanced level abroad. If the production line does not meet the design requirements because we deducted the equipment, how can we bear this responsibility."

"Yes, this is called being controlled by others." Luo Xiangfei replied quietly, and then fell into deep thought.

After lunch, Luo Xiangfei and his party, accompanied by Qiao Ziyuan, came to the guesthouse in the Metallurgical Hall for lunch. Qiao Ziyuan instructed to open the most luxurious rooms in the guesthouse and let the superiors rest. Hao Yawei walked into the room assigned to him, looked at the Simmons beds that exceeded the standard and imported large color TVs, and could only shake his head and sigh. This is the reality, and it cannot be changed by complaining.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting started again, and the topic entered the issue of how to compress some functions and how to reasonably arrange the construction cycle to ensure the realization of the budget. As Luo Xiangfei and his experts from the National Metallurgical Research Institute came, Lu Jianyong and others from the Nanjiang Provincial Metallurgical Department once again fell into a fierce battle. Speaking of the fierceness, the gentle and gentle intellectuals also slapped the table, making Qiao Ziyuan and Luo Xiangfei had to get up again and again as a mediator.

"Director Luo, this won't work."

While everyone was arguing about technical issues, Hao Yawei turned his head and whispered to Luo Xiangfei: "Even if a thick plate line is cut off, this set of equipment will not meet the expectations we initially proposed to introduce. Thin plates, medium plates, and thick plates, we cannot miss anything. Several shipyards in Pujiang have long stopped working and waited for materials and beg for alms in our bureau every day. If thick plates cannot be produced in Nanjiang, our shipbuilding industry will be affected."

"But what should I do if I don't cut this thick board line? Only by cutting off some functions can I reduce the investment most effectively. Think about it, a thick board line is 12 million. If I don't cut it, it will be too difficult to squeeze out 12 million from other places." Luo Xiangfei said.

Hao Yawei looked at the pile of drawings placed in a corner of the conference room and said, "In my opinion, we should not make a big frame, but we should organize people to review the drawings one by one. Let's go through infrastructure and review it like this, at least 5% of the moisture can be squeezed out."

"Who will review it?" Luo Xiangfei said, "The drawings are all foreign languages, and they are advanced equipment that we have never done before. To be honest, I took the time to read a few drawings a few times ago, and it feels like it is a book of heaven. The equipment we have made in the past is based on the Soviet system. The Japanese side learned the American system, and the design ideas are completely different from ours. It is impossible for us to figure out what these components are for in less than a few years, let alone press the cost from the drawings..."

Speaking of this, his eyes accidentally swept across a stack of notes in front of him, and he couldn't help but frown.

"Xiao Hao, did you write this?" Luo Xiangfei pointed to a string of letters and numbers on the note paper and asked Hao Yawei. This note paper was used to record some ideas at any time, and it was scratched in a mess. The string of letters and numbers were written in the blank space at the bottom of the note paper, and it was circled in a square frame, obviously to remind him to pay attention. Of course, he could recognize that this was not his handwriting at all. When he left the venue in the morning, there were no words here. Now some words suddenly appeared, and they could only be written by Hao Yawei, who was sitting next to him.

Hao Yawei looked at it, shook his head and said, "No, this was not written by me, I don't know what it was written."

"Didn't you write it?" Luo Xiangfei was a little surprised. He thought for a while, stood up and walked towards the corner of the house where the drawings were stacked.

His extraordinary actions naturally attracted the attention of Qiao Ziyuan, Liu Huimin and others. Liu Huimin stood up, walked forward, and asked in a low voice: "Lao Luo, why, do you want to look at the drawings?"

"KBS-3720, I want to take a look." Luo Xiangfei reported the string of symbols he saw on the note paper. As an official from the Metallurgical Bureau who was a technical person, he could of course guess that the string of symbols should correspond to the figure number of a certain drawing. Although he was not sure who wrote such a figure number on his note paper, his years of professional sensitivity made him feel that he should find this drawing to take a look, maybe there is some mystery.

"KBS-3720?" Liu Huimin was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why Luo Xiangfei suddenly wanted to see the drawings, and there was such a clear direction. The number of drawings transported from Japan-Benz was so large that it was outrageous. Even Lu Jianyong and others had just looked through some of them. Maybe no one had seen this KBS-3720. Luo Xiangfei was crazy about how crazy he was, and he had to look for this drawing to see?

"Xiao Feng." Liu Huimin turned his head and shouted to a young young man standing next to him, "Director Luo is looking for a drawing, the drawing number is KBS-3720, please help him find it."

"Yes!" The young man called "Xiao Feng" agreed. He first found the drawing catalog on the shelf, searched it, and then walked to the pile of drawings, moved the thick picture album with difficulty, and finally found one, opened one of the pages, handed it to Luo Xiangfei, and said respectfully: "Director Luo, please read, this is KBS-3720."

"Thank you." Luo Xiangfei took the picture album and thanked casually. Just as he was looking at the drawing carefully, he suddenly felt a strange feeling and couldn't help but look up at the young man in front of him.

This is an enviable face with red lips and white teeth, and even a shallow dimples on his face, which makes people feel a bit like they want to take care of him. He is tall and looks clean and neat in a "real cold" white shirt that was considered a luxury at the time.

What surprised Luo Xiangfei the most was the bright eyes of the young man, which were a bit honest, a bit aura, and a bit understanding.

Who is this and why do I feel familiar?
