“Enron!” Minister Tang said immediately. “I know this company. It’s on our supplier list. It’s the largest natural gas transportation company in the US. It seems their business extends beyond natural gas; they have many physical projects.”
Wu Changfeng nodded: "That's right."
"But..." Minister Tang became suspicious: "Only ten million US dollars, and you're giving me all the technology? You're not lying, are you?"
"Do you know that if they win the bid for our equipment, it's worth hundreds of millions of US dollars, not even including the equipment itself? How did you get it for only ten million? That doesn't make sense."
Wu Changfeng said, "Minister Tang, do I look like someone who plays by the rules?"
"This..." Minister Tang thought about it and agreed. Every time Wu Changfeng appeared, he always found a way to torment these arrogant foreign manufacturers.
They were driven to the brink of madness.
Minister Tang also knew that Wu Changfeng had a special skill: he could uncover the secrets of foreign manufacturers.
Could it be that Wu Changfeng also arrested Enron this time?
Both are trying to get the short end of the stick by keeping quiet.
But this is not something Minister Tang should be thinking about. As long as Wu Changfeng does not steal or rob, and does not harm national interests, what he does is his business.
Minister Tang breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I won't ask any more questions. How much are you planning to sell it to us for?"
"It makes it sound like I bought low and sold high," Wu Changfeng said. "Just give me back the ten million US dollars."
"Really?" Minister Tang's eyes widened.
Wu Changfeng nodded, then said, "But there's a favor I need you to do."
"Go ahead!" Minister Tang patted his chest. Such a cheap deal, if you don't take it, you'll regret it for the rest of your life!
It is important to understand that having key equipment in the hands of others is a pain that is difficult for mainland Chinese to express.
You never know when a foreigner might get upset and start messing with you.
Think about it, if such important equipment breaks down, they won't repair or replace it for you.
If the entire line is paralyzed, the impact and losses will be enormous!
As the saying goes, it's better to have what your father and mother have than what you have yourself.
This also reflects the spirit of diligence and independent innovation that mainland Chinese people have always upheld.
As long as one has the ability, one must catch up with foreign technology and be willing to dedicate one's entire life to it.
This kind of quality, looking at the whole world, only people from mainland China are so willing to endure hardship!
Even if we can't catch up right away, we must pass the baton on, one generation after another.
Now that the blueprints are right in front of us, what's wrong with Wu Changfeng making some requests?
It must be met!
Wu Changfeng said, "It's nothing serious, it's just that you know Lao Zhou, right? The first private small business owner to get involved in fertilizer manufacturing. He wants to take on some work, you can see how the assignment is."
Minister Tang thought it was something serious and said, "Is that all? Don't worry, I'll definitely arrange a good job for him."
"No." Wu Changfeng waved his hand: "Let's do something more challenging, to improve his skills. I'll need it in the future."
“Alright, I’ll pick one that’s moderate.” Minister Tang rubbed his hands together. “It’s noon. Come on, let me treat you to lunch.”
"Then I'll have to trouble you to spend the money!"
The group arrived at the cafeteria.
They prepared special meals for me.
Once the food and wine were served, Wu Changfeng was also extremely hungry.
They devoured it like wolves.
Minister Tang was very pleased and couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.
"A lifesaver! You're truly my lifesaver!" Minister Tang took a swig of his drink. "Do you know how much money your blueprints have saved the country?"
Wu Changfeng said, "I don't know, just don't forget to give me ten million US dollars."
“It won’t be bad!” Minister Tang said. “This is what I’m thinking: we can’t just give these technologies to the factories below for free. Let them buy them! If everyone chips in, the money will come out.”
"Whatever you want." Wu Changfeng said, gnawing on a chicken leg.
"I'm delighted!" Minister Tang continued, "Not only have we saved money, but we've also improved the technical capabilities of the factories below. More importantly, we've seized the initiative!"
“This pipeline is related to the nation’s strategic energy and is of great importance. Your appearance is perfectly timed! I have to write about you in the internal report.”
Wu Changfeng waved his hand and wiped off the grease: "That's all. I'm just a small businessman. I don't have many lofty ideals. I just want to help the country. I'm not omnipotent."
"Don't refuse," Minister Tang laughed. "The leaders should know about those who make contributions; they can't let you work for nothing, can they?"
"Come on, let's drink."
After a satisfying meal, Wu Changfeng and Huo Jiaqi lingered in the Equipment Division for a while longer.
The office is getting more and more crowded now, all drawn by the news.
There are experts and translators.
The blueprints were compiled and divided into several parts. They were translated first, and then factory leaders from all over the country were summoned to the capital to receive the task.
These are none of Wu Changfeng's business.
Anyway, I've done all I could.
Wu Changfeng bid farewell to Minister Tang.
Minister Tang wouldn't let them leave, insisting on taking Wu Changfeng out for a few days.
Wu Changfeng didn't have that kind of free time.
They left immediately.
Before leaving, I also visited Youmei Company.
By this time, Youmei Company had expanded and had taken over Youle Company.
The office area is extremely large.
Yu Qingmu was also surprised to see Wu Changfeng arrive.
But Wu Changfeng only walked around once and did not linger for long.
Tell Yu Qingmu to come with you.
Yu Qingmu quickly tidied up and got into Wu Changfeng's Mercedes-Benz.
The three of them sped towards Chishui County.
