Chapter 177 Sugar-coated accepts the shells and returns them
Spain is also a country with a very developed food culture. The celebration banquet held by Red Steel was quite large. It seemed that Jiang Huanwen was bleeding a lot. Since the expenditure on the introduction of electric furnaces was greatly saved, both the Department of Foreign Trade and the Department of Metallurgy
, fully understood Jiang Huanwen’s generosity.
Although Jiang Huanwen kept saying that Qin Hai was the biggest contributor to the introduction of equipment, when it came time to talk about heroes, Qin Hai and Chen Hongcheng's names could only be ranked at the very back. Naturally, the names at the front were Zhu Xiaofeng and others.
A group of government officials and even diplomats from the embassy. Qin Hai would not care about the false reputation of this kind of scene, and the people on the scene also knew very well what the actual situation was.
Some good people have concluded: when looking at a research report, the ones ranked at the bottom are often the real authors, and the ones ranked at the top may not even be able to name the project; looking at a merit report, the ones ranked at
Those at the back are often the ones who have made the real contributions, while those at the front are just the "relevant leaders" who have given important spiritual support.
At the celebration of the electric furnace introduction project, the names of Qin Hai and Chen Hongcheng were the last two, and even Chen Hongcheng's name was before Qin Hai's.
After some praise and self-praise, the banquet entered the stage of free conversation. Wang Zheyi, who was appointed by the embassy to attend the banquet, came to Qin Hai with a half glass of red wine in his hand, raised his glass and said:
"Comrade Xiao Qin, congratulations to you."
Qin Hai quickly picked up his cup, but he pretended to be stupid: "Secretary Xiao Wang, I wonder what you are congratulating about."
"There are so many things to congratulate you on." Wang Zheyi covered his mouth with his hand and smiled slightly, and said: "First of all, you helped Factory Director Jiang and the others complete this difficult negotiation and achieve an amazing reversal.
Shouldn’t I congratulate you on this?”
Qin Hai shook his head and said: "Then you congratulated the wrong person. You should congratulate Factory Director Jiang and the others. In Mr. Zhu's words, the excitement belongs to them, and I have nothing."
"When you return to China, won't you be commended?" Wang Zheyi asked with his beautiful big eyes flashing. He didn't know whether she was naturally charming or whether she learned to act cute after engaging in diplomatic work. Qin Hai had to admit that this girl
When you blink your eyes, your expression is very lethal.
"The commendation... I guess there will be a little bit, but what use will this commendation do to me?" Qin Hai replied with a smile.
Wang Zheyi can also imagine from the layout of today's celebration banquet what kind of commendation Qin Hai will receive in the future. Overemphasis on Qin Hai's contribution means that everyone else is trash. Such a thing is absolutely unacceptable in Hongyuan Province.
It will be done. So Qin Hai could only show a small face in the report, equivalent to the role of a passerby.
She nodded and said: "Let's talk about something else. I heard that Xiao Qin successfully negotiated several big business deals during your stay in Madrid, and also established a cooperative relationship with Leonardo, the steel tycoon in Madrid.
.Isn’t this worthy of congratulations?”
"No way? Who did you listen to?" Qin Hai was startled. Only Chen Hongcheng participated in the negotiation with Leonardo. Zhu Xiaofeng and the others were completely unaware of it, but how could Wang Zheyi know about it?
Wang Zheyi was very satisfied with the effect she had created. She smiled and said: "How can our embassy not know what Chinese citizens have done in Spain? Besides, what does this steel tycoon want to do with you?
If you are cooperating with Red Sea Company, you also need to ask our embassy to help you find out the authenticity, right?"
"I actually forgot this." Qin Hai said with some annoyance.
Wang Zheyi is right. Of course it is impossible for Leonardo to establish a cooperative relationship with them without even knowing their details. It is the most prudent to go to the embassy to find out some information. As for the embassy, of course,
We will not take such things lightly. It is also responsible for national security to understand the details of Qin Hai and Leonardo's relationship through some secret channels.
In front of the powerful state machinery, there really is no secret to Qin Hai's petty tricks. He carefully asked Wang Zheyi: "Secretary Wang, I would like to know about the state's response to my cooperation with Leonardo."
, there shouldn’t be any restrictions, right?”
Wang Zheyi said: "Don't worry, we don't care about foreign trade. As long as you don't betray national intelligence, we will not interfere with anything. But I also remind you that foreign cooperation is an act actively encouraged by the country, but if in foreign cooperation
The country will never allow you to do anything that is detrimental to national interests or insults national integrity."
"Can you please stop talking to me so seriously? I'm really scared..." Qin Hai said with a smile. He already understood the hint in Wang Zheyi's words, which meant that Qin Hai's behavior was
If it goes against the requirements of the foreign trade department, but because it does not involve national security, the embassy will not intervene.
Wang Zheyi has no ill feelings towards Qin Hai. She is generally aware of all the things Qin Hai did in Madrid. She has discussed this issue with Ambassador Luo from the embassy. Ambassador Luo believes that Qin Hai has the ability to move.
Moreover, people who can benefit the country in foreign exchanges are very valuable and worthy of the protection of the embassy.
Ambassador Luo didn't care at all about the behind-the-scenes transactions between Qin Hai and Leonardo. Not to mention that the Red Sea Company behind Qin Hai was only a private enterprise. It was not uncommon for state-owned enterprises to collude with foreign businessmen to launder money. The purpose of these state-owned enterprises was to launder money.
In order to free up foreign exchange to buy luxury goods, Qin Hai's purpose of doing so was to import foreign raw materials and equipment. The two had different motives, which made Ambassador Luo and Wang Zheyi even more interested in Qin Hai.
Appreciated it.
Regarding these views, it was impossible for Wang Zheyi to tell Qin Hai everything. She gave Qin Hai a hint, and Qin Hai immediately understood it, which made Wang Zheyi very happy. She deliberately made a sullen face and lectured: "
Comrade Xiao Qin, please be more serious, we are not chatting in the cafe now, but are having a serious conversation."
"Look at my brain!" Qin Hai patted his head, pulled out a small stack of colorful cards from somewhere, handed it to Wang Zheyi's hand, and said: "Secretary Wang, this is for
Yours. We may be leaving Madrid soon, and the things we promised you must be implemented."
"What is this?" Wang Zheyi took the stack of cards and took a look at it inexplicably. He was startled and his face turned red for no reason. It turned out that it was a stack of Liss fancy ice cream from Serrano Commercial Street.
There are more than a dozen cases of coupons. Wang Zheyi has always known the price of this kind of ice cream. One coupon can eat up her monthly salary. When she first met Qin Hai, in order to undermine his self-confidence, she said
She asked Qin Hai to treat her to Liss ice cream. Unexpectedly, Qin Hai actually took it to heart.
"Are you crazy? How much does this cost?" Wang Zheyi said in a low voice, and at the same time looked to both sides with a guilty conscience. Fortunately, everyone is busy flattering Zhu Xiaofeng and others now, and no one pays attention to the two youngest ones.
character.
Qin Hai said: "Just keep it. I don't have time to accompany you to eat, so I can only give you a few coupons. However, these coupons are not given to Miss Wang for free. Maybe there will be something else that I need to ask Wang for in the future."
Miss, please help."
"I knew you were just sugar-coating it." Wang Zheyi finally calmed down. She knew that Qin Hai had made a lot of money by hooking up with Spanish businessmen in Madrid. These dozen ice cream coupons were in her hands.
It seems very expensive, but it may really be just a drop in the bucket for Qin Hai. She stuffed the card into her Xiaokun bag, and then said: "I accept the sugar-coating and return the cannonball. If you want to ask this girl to do anything, you have to
Send the document to the embassy through your foreign affairs department, otherwise there will be no need to discuss it."
"I'm asking you to help me buy some academic materials, and also write some articles?" Qin Hai said with a smile.
Wang Zheyi smiled and said: "I can help with this..."
"Yeah, that's enough." Qin Hai said.
Sending ice cream coupons to Wang Zheyi was just a whim of Qin Hai. He and Chen Hongcheng happened to be passing by Serrano Commercial Street that day, and saw an ice cream shop doing a promotion, so he spent money to buy a dozen cards and planned to find time to give them to him.
Wang Zheyi. Wang Zheyi gave people a rather elegant and refined look, which Qin Hai liked very much. This was one of the reasons why he gave Wang Zheyi coupons. As for the other reason, it was a bit philistine.
That is, Qin Hai feels that he will have to handle a lot of business through Spain in the future, and it is very beneficial to make friends with the staff of the embassy.
After accepting Qin Hai's gift, Wang Zheyi felt a little embarrassed. For a moment, the two of them seemed to have nothing to say. Wang Zheyi raised his glass to Qin Hai, took a sip of red wine himself, and then looked around and said:
"I really don't like the weather in Madrid, but I still like the capital."
"Why, Miss Wang is from the capital?" Qin Hai asked casually.
Wang Zheyi nodded, then reached into his bag to take out a piece of paper, found a pencil, wrote a few words, handed it to Qin Hai, and said: "Qin Hai, actually I may not be able to work at the embassy for much longer.
I will return to China next year at the latest. This is my home address in Beijing. If you need to go to Beijing for anything, you can come to my home to find me."
After that, she turned around and walked towards the others with the cup in hand. Qin Hai unfolded the note in his hand and saw a phone number and an address written on it: Building XX, Building XX, No. XX, Sanlihe Road, Beijing.
A few days later, the Hongyuan Province delegation finished its work in Spain and set off to return home. Wang Zheyi sent the delegation to the airport. Before entering the security gate, she stuffed a small pocket into Qin Hai's hand, and then
He waved his hands and left. Qin Hai opened his pocket and took a look. It contained some snacks for killing time on the plane, but they were bought according to the taste of girls, which made Qin Hai feel dumbfounded.
The plane flew across Eurasia and landed at Pujiang Airport. When he walked out of the airport, Qin Hai saw a giant banner in front of him: Warmly welcome the Hongyuan Province delegation to return with honor.
