The delegation of the Metallurgical Bureau made a great success in Germany. Under the arrangement of Joel Company, the delegation negotiated with more than a dozen metallurgical equipment manufacturers and initially determined the intention to cooperate in the manufacture of the 1780mm hot rolling mill production line of the Nanjiang Steel Plant. The subsequent work will be taken over by the Metallurgical Design Institute, the Nanjiang Provincial Metallurgical Department, the Nanjiang Steel Plant, the National Equipment Import and Export Corporation, and several heavy machinery companies preparing to undertake domestic manufacturing tasks. They will communicate in more detail in production line design, subcontracting, installation, payment of goods, etc. The documents that need to be signed and exchanged are calculated in tons, which is not something that the industry coordination agency like the Metallurgical Bureau can do on its behalf.

After lingering in Germany for nearly a month, the delegation returned successfully. The Metallurgical Bureau arranged a bus to go to the airport to greet him. When they set off, everyone brought a large box containing clothes, documents and other items. When they came back, everyone's box changed from one to two or even more, and the added part was naturally what they purchased abroad.

After returning to the Metallurgical Bureau, we don’t need to explain in detail. After the initial hustle and bustle, everyone’s eyes were on Feng Xiaochen, who turned from an ugly duckling to a black swan overnight:

"Xiao Feng, it's not bad. I heard you have found overseas relations in Germany!"

"Xiao Feng, I have heard about you. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, what a good luck!"

"Xiao Feng, I heard that you are going to study in Germany soon. Don't forget us big brothers at that time..."

"Xiao Feng, I heard you are going to Germany to inherit the inheritance..."

Feng Xiaochen greeted these greetings with a smile, but when he heard the last sentence, no matter how well he cultivated, he couldn't help protesting: "I said Lao Wang, would you not curse my grandma like this?"

"Oh! I've lost my words, I've lost my words, damn it, I'm so damn..."

Wang Weilong, who said the wrong thing, quickly slapped himself in the face. A few days ago, a model story was published in domestic newspapers, saying that he refused to inherit his inheritance abroad and was determined to stay on the grassland to be a private teacher. Wang Weilong's mind was full of this story, and he said it as soon as he opened his mouth, but he forgot that Feng Xiaochen's grandmother was still alive and saying that the inheritance was really disrespectful.

While talking about these words, the two of them were staying in Wang Weilong's room for tea. The colleague in the same room as Wang Weilong had already asked for leave and went home for the New Year in advance. No one else disturbed their conversation. Feng Xiaochen interrupted Wang Weilong's self-blame with a smile, took out an envelope from his arms, put it in front of Wang Weilong, and said, "Old Wang, before going abroad, please give me so many days to work to draw drawings. These are your rewards, don't think it's too little."

"Xiao Feng, what do you mean!" Wang Weilong's face suddenly changed, and he shouted sternly, "Brother was born in the past. I'll help you draw a few pictures and say what rewards are you doing? Isn't this Han rubbing your brother?"

Of course, Feng Xiaochen knew that Wang Weilong's words were half true and half false. When he asked Wang Weilong to draw pictures, he told Wang Weilong clearly that these were several inventions he made. He wanted to find someone to see if he could sell it for a price. This kind of thing cannot be said in front of the leader, but in private, everyone recognized it. Feng Xiaochen first met Wang Weilong because Wang Weilong was using his business time to do private work, and no one was much taller than anyone else.

Feng Xiaochen wants to do big things, and he cannot be without some people who can help with errands and chores. Wang Weilong is a assistant who is loved by Feng Xiaochen. This guy has good technical skills, is honest but not pedantic. He has a few children at home and is in a time when he is short of money. As long as Feng Xiaochen can give him enough benefits, he will not worry about not working hard for himself.

As for whether revealing such a thing to Wang Weilong would bring some hidden dangers, Feng Xiaochen has also thought deeply about it. In fact, the risks he needs to take are only in the past few years. When the policy is further relaxed, even if the leader knows that he has ever sold a patent abroad, he will not pursue it. Instead, he will praise him for his ability to create foreign exchange.

Of course, Feng Xiaochen would not tell Wang Weilong what the price of these patents sold abroad. With the eyes of domestic people at that time, they probably thought that these technologies could be worth 3,500 yuan. If you say that a drawing sold for hundreds of thousands, their first reaction was not to envy or jealousy, but to doubt whether you were crazy about money.

"Brother Wang, haven't I told you a long time ago? If these technologies can be sold, we will share the money together. If they can't sell them, they will just treat you as a waste of time. This time in Germany, I happened to encounter my aunt who is a patent, so I asked her to sell the technology and make some money. This part is for you. If you don't take it, you will look down on me, Xiao Feng." Feng Xiaochen said seriously.

This kind of favors of pushing and shoving is just a few tricks. After completing the necessary steps such as anger, polite refusal, shyness, Wang Weilong finally took the envelope in the name of disrespect. After taking out the stack of banknotes from the envelope, Wang Weilong was really shocked. It was a full 500 yuan, and it was a foreign exchange coupon that could not be exchanged for even money in China. Foreign exchange coupons can buy some imported products that are not visible in the market in the foreign exchange store, and are quite popular among some rich people. If exchanged for them, the money that can be exchanged is more than the amount on the face.

"This... Xiao Feng, so many, I really can't accept it." Wang Weilong's performance was even more panicked than before. This time it was not fake.

Feng Xiaochen used his hand to press back the money handed over by Wang Weilong and said, "Old Wang, this is what you deserve. To be honest, I have gotten more than this one myself."

"That's what you earned yourself. You invented the technology, so I just helped draw a picture. In our factory, you can do whatever technician can do. If you give me a 10 yuan overtime pay, he will be happy." Wang Weilong said.

Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "Brother Wang, you are a self-deprecating person. Are you a decent deputy department-level cadre, can you compare with a casual technician? To be honest, after going abroad, I felt that our country does not attach too much importance to knowledge and talents. If you are a talent like Brother Wang, if you are placed abroad, a monthly salary of 5,000 marks is considered low."

"But we are in China." Wang Weilong looked at Feng Xiaochen vigilantly and thought to himself, this kid could not have been indicted abroad, right? Why does this sound like he was going to pull me into the water? He pinched the stack of banknotes with his hands and wanted to force it to Feng Xiaochen, but he was a little reluctant. He wanted to accept it half-stop, but he was worried that there would be any deeper traps in the future.

"Brother Wang, I'm actually here to find you, and there are other things." Feng Xiaochen changed the topic, then whispered to the stack of money and said, "You put away the money first. I have something to talk to you. If someone comes in and see it, it will be inappropriate."

Wang Weilong thought about it, opened the drawer, put the money in, and then said, "Xiao Feng, what else can we say between us? However, I have to make it clear first. Don't do anything that violates the principles and the law, we can't do it, we can't do it..."

"Uh..." Feng Xiaochen reacted for a while before he realized what Wang Weilong meant. He thought that I was treason and treason... Then again, in the political environment that year, when he came back from abroad, he stuffed money to a deputy department-level cadre and said that if he was better off abroad, it would be misunderstood.

"Old Wang, who do you think of me?" Feng Xiaochen said aggrievedly, "Although I, Xiao Feng, have been educated by the Party for many years. My grandfather is a patriotic engineer. He gave up his superior living conditions abroad and returned to China to participate in construction. How could I do something to sell my country?"

"Uh, I don't mean that." Wang Weilong was a little embarrassed. He just took the money from others and turned around and suspected that he was a spy. This seemed a bit unkind. He concealed and said, "Xiao Feng, see where you want to go. I just said that there are some unhealthy trends in society now. We are all state cadres, so don't get involved in these things. I didn't say traitors or something... By the way, you just said that you had something to tell me, what's the matter?"

"That's it..." Feng Xiaochen adjusted his thinking for a while. However, Wang Weilong's reaction just now reminded him that in the current environment, he should be more careful in his work and not let the "relevant departments" target him. At that time, China had just begun to contact the world, and many people were still struggling with the struggle. Even the policies such as introducing foreign investment proposed by the central government have many debates in the academic community, including many exaggerated from the political level. Even the overseas relations he just recognized were not unstable in the eyes of leaders?

"My grandma is a patriotic overseas Chinese. When my grandfather returned to China to participate in construction, she stayed in Germany because my uncle was too young. Later, because we all know, she couldn't come back. Although her people couldn't come back, she was always thinking about the construction of the motherland. This time she found me, she said she wanted to go back to China to make some investments, open a factory in China, specializing in producing industrial basic parts with certain technical content, and support national construction." Feng Xiaochen explained to Wang Weilong in the language as standard as possible.

"This is a good thing!" Wang Weilong praised, "The old man's patriotism is really worth learning from."

"Yes, yes." Feng Xiaochen said, "The old man has such a wish. Of course, I, a grandchild, have to help her realize it. She said that she wanted to invest in building a factory in China, and the funds and equipment could be obtained from Germany, but for workers and technicians, they still have to be based in our country, right? And my grandmother meant that she hoped to use this factory to cultivate our own technical talents and technical workers with an international perspective in China. I am worried now, how can it be done."
