Wu Changfeng was both amused and exasperated.
I don't know if it's because I'm young, or if Director Ren is cunning and calculating.
He seems to be focusing on solving the electricity problem.
In fact, Mine Manager Ren was well aware of this as well.
The power generation equipment at the Hunshui Hydropower Plant must be malfunctioning.
This will inevitably lead to losses for us in the external market.
They subtly turned their attention to Wu Changfeng's wallet.
Wu Changfeng does indeed have US dollars, quite a lot of them.
With the addition of second orders from foreign customers, the account held more than 50 million US dollars.
Taking out tens of thousands of yuan is really not a problem.
But the problem is...
This money is something I wouldn't even spend myself, but rather it's going to be used for something very important.
Wu Changfeng refused outright: "Impossible, I don't lend this money."
"Brother! What time is it now!" Mine Manager Ren wailed, "Look at me, I'm not having an easy time either. Among all the people I know, I'm one of the wealthiest."
"If you help me get through this, I'll give you interest, okay?"
"How about this, $150,000, and once the power plant has enough electricity, I'll give you $200,000 later?"
Wu Changfeng shook his head again: "I really need this money. Why don't you think of another way?"
"Um... well then, as an alternative, you are my alternative, and I'll look for someone else."
Having said that, Wu Changfeng could only sigh and nod.
"Alright, that's settled." Manager Ren chuckled and hung up the phone.
When he arrived here, Wu Changfeng still thought it was just a small matter.
It will not affect my plans to fly to the island nation.
He is planning a new product in his office.
That's a bladeless fan.
This product is sure to be a bestseller overseas.
Before similar products appear on the market, let's make money quickly for our grand cause!
Just then.
The phone rang again.
This time it's a landline.
Wu Changfeng picked up the phone: "Hello."
"Comrade Changfeng, it's me, Lao Xu!"
"Minister Xu!" Wu Changfeng said in a serious tone, "Minister Xu, you are a great sage. What instructions do you have?"
Minister Xu said calmly, "It's not really an instruction. We're old acquaintances, so I'll get straight to the point."
"Please speak."
"That's right. You have a lot of dealings with people from island nations, but you're very shrewd."
Wu Changfeng grunted.
I felt a cold sweat breaking out on my back. What kind of youngest son has this time?
Could it be that Tanashiro is up to something?
Minister Xu continued, "Do you know about the Hunshui Hydropower Plant?"
Wu Changfeng opened his mouth wide.
Why is it this again!
Just after Mine Manager Ren mentioned this power plant, Minister Xu called shortly afterward.
If you say it has nothing to do with you, even a ghost wouldn't believe you.
"I know. Just now, Manager Ren from Cangxi Iron Mine called me, saying there's a power shortage and asking me to think of a solution. What solutions do I have?"
Wu Changfeng continued, "I plan to lend him some US dollars to deal with the breach of contract."
"Huh?" Minister Xu's tone was clearly bewildered.
Wu Changfeng was also taken aback for a moment, and then reiterated the problem with the Cangxi Iron Mine.
After hearing this, Minister Xu said meaningfully, "I didn't expect you to have such great abilities, able to recognize the value of marble at a glance. Not bad."
Wu Changfeng: ...
Is this the crux of the problem?
Minister Xu continued, "Minister Ren didn't call me; I contacted you about this myself."
ah……
I really misunderstood Manager Ren.
"Minister Xu, who are you looking for?"
"The generator sets at the Muddy Water Power Plant are imported, specifically from an island nation. One of the rotors burned out and developed a large crack, causing the plant to shut down."
Minister Xu continued, "It's only been a few years since it was put into use? A piece of iron can break down like this. We definitely need to have something to say to the island nation."
"There are also island nation technicians at the Muddy Water Power Plant. The island nation believes that the problem was caused by our improper operation."
“We definitely can’t accept this reason. If we do, we’ll have to pay for the replacement rotors, which is hundreds of thousands of dollars each. There are five in total, and we can’t afford that.”
"I just want you to step in, find fault with the island nation, and make them pay up."
Wu Changfeng: ...
Minister Xu, you think too highly of me!
I'm not a businessman, I'm a firefighter putting out fires everywhere!
Wu Changfeng said apologetically, "Minister Xu, that's giving me too much credit. How could I possibly handle this?"
"I really don't know anything about generator sets. If I just go there and spout nonsense, wouldn't that be embarrassing?"
Minister Xu said, "We will send professional personnel to accompany you. You just need to keep an eye on the overall situation."
"This task is very simple; it's just business negotiation."
"It's just denying it. Our people don't have much experience. If you take charge, maybe you can make it work."
"Don't feel guilty. If it works out, great. If not, we'll think of another way."
Wu Changfeng grunted: "To be honest, I'm going to Japan in a few days. If I do, Minister Xu might blame me for shirking my responsibilities."
Minister Xu said, "Alright, I've prepared several plans. Let's implement them one by one."
"If you don't want to go, I'll find another one. It won't delay your trip."
Wu Changfeng shrugged: "Alright then, I'll give it a try."
"I have high expectations for you," Minister Xu said with a smile.
Wu Changfeng rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.
If it weren't for my own patriotic sentiments.
Minister Xu really couldn't persuade me to come.
I have no obligation to get involved in this kind of thing.
