Sail across the sea

Chapter 293 What problems can Gao Fan solve?

"I always feel that this Dampier wants to make a name for himself."

In the deputy director's office, Xu Ying frowned and said to Zhu Nian sitting on the sofa.

After this was a new negotiation, Dampier proposed a new plan during the negotiation and partially accepted the request of the Department of Chemical Industry to clarify the working hours of Chinese workers. While Xu Ying was happy, she also gave birth to more questions. doubt.

Zhu Nian held the tea that Xu Ying made for him in his hand and said with a helpless expression: "Sister Xu, I think you are a little bit of that, uh, by the way, caring will lead to chaos.

"A few days ago, Dampier refused to accept our demands, and you were unhappy. Now they have made a 180-degree turn and fully accepted our conditions, and you say they want to make a name for themselves.

"Do you want to cooperate with the United States? If you don't want to cooperate with the Americans, I will go back."

He said this with a smile on his face, letting people know that he didn't really want to condemn Xu Ying.

Xu Ying said: "Dampier did not make a 180-degree turn. You didn't listen to what he said today. He accepted our request, but added a series of constraints, which obviously left room for wrangling with us in the future. .

"Also, he specifically proposed that Wu Yawei should be the Chinese director of the joint venture factory. Did Wu Yawei reach some behind-the-scenes deal with him when he went to interview him?"

Zhu Nian said: "Wu Yawei reported this matter to the Economic Committee. He said that he spent a lot of effort to persuade Dampier to accept the conditions we proposed, but because of this matter, Dampier expressed the hope that we could work with him in the future. Work together.

"It's normal for Dampier to have this idea. Maybe it was what Wu Yawei said that made him feel more compatible. For foreign guests, it is not easy to find someone who is more compatible with him in China."

"Do you also agree with Wu Yawei being the Chinese director of the joint venture factory?" Xu Ying asked.

Zhu Nian shook his head: "How is this possible? Maohua Machinery is a deputy department-level enterprise, and Wu Yawei is also a senior scientist. At best, he can be transferred to be a deputy director, responsible for communicating and coordinating with foreign guests. This can be regarded as An exceptional promotion.

"To be honest, it's just because Dampier's request is unreasonable that I don't think it's like a tacit understanding between them. Dampier doesn't understand our domestic level, but Wu Yawei understands it. How could he let Danpier Why would Peel make such a completely unfeasible suggestion?"

"Since Wu Yawei said that he convinced Dampier, why would Dampier put forward so many constraints? This is obviously not sincere." Xu Ying said.

Zhu Nian continued to explain: "Xiao Wu also reported this matter to me. He said that Dampier was still worried that our workers would learn skills too slowly, and was afraid that if a strict time limit was set, there would be no room for maneuver."

"How does he want to maneuver around?" Xu Ying choked angrily, "Are we all fools who don't understand production, and the workers' skills are unqualified? Will we still force workers to work?"

Zhu Nian smiled bitterly.

This is the result of a lack of trust on both sides.

Dampier claimed that he was worried that China was so happy about its achievements that it violated objective laws.The Chinese speculate that Dampier intends to block technology from China in order to seize excess profits.

Both parties were afraid of suffering a loss, and both hoped that the terms of the contract would be beneficial to them, and this is how it ended up.

In Zhu Nian's view, Dampier agreed to the Chemical Industry Department's previous request, which was a step back.In this case, it seems reasonable to ask for a few more binding clauses, right?
Is Xu Ying's current behavior considered suspicious?However, it is inconvenient to do it on behalf of others when celebrating the new year.Xu Ying is the technical officer. On matters such as technical cooperation, we always have to listen to the opinions of the functional departments and bureaus.

"So, Sister Xu, what do you think we should do about this matter?" Zhu Nian decided to kick the ball to Xu Ying. "I think it is unrealistic to ask Dampier to cancel these constraints. Because in this way, They are equivalent to fully accepting our conditions, and they have not fulfilled any of their own requirements. After all, we are in a cooperative relationship, how can we not consider each other's feelings?" Zhu Nian said.

Xu Ying covered her forehead with her hands, closed her eyes and thought seriously.After a long while, she slapped the table hatefully and said, "This Gao Fan caused trouble, but he ran fast and hid on the territory of the Science and Technology Commission!"

"In this case, what problem can Gao Fan solve?" Zhu Nian muttered.

"His little head looks different from others." Xu Ying said, "I believe that if he were here now, he would definitely be able to come up with a more perfect plan."

Zhu Nian said: "Sister Xu, what you said is too weird. I had a lot of dealings with Gao Fan at the Spring Fair. His English is very good, I know that. But when it comes to Things like business negotiations..."

Having said this, he shook his head and said nothing.

Xu Ying made up her mind and said, "No, I need to at least communicate this situation with Gao Fan and see what suggestions he has."

It was difficult for Gao Yiping to contact Gao Fan, but a provincial department still had enough energy.

So, Gao Fan, who was conducting experiments with engineers at Maple Forest Research Institute, received a long-distance call from Maolin.

"I have never been in contact with this Dampier."

After listening to Xu Ying's description of the situation, Gao Fan said on the phone: "However, if Valance had come in person, these monsters would not have been created."

"I think so too. The first few times we communicated directly with Mr. Valance, it was very pleasant. But this Dampier's behavior is completely different from Valance's." Xu Ying said.

"We have to talk to Valance about this matter, but in my current position, international long distance calls are not allowed at all." Gao Fan said distressedly.

Xu Ying said: "Can you take a few days off and come back to see me?"

"It's definitely not possible now," Gao Fan said. "The project I'm currently participating in has a certain level of confidentiality, and the system stipulates that participants cannot leave at will. To be honest with Aunt Xu, even now, there is a comrade guard beside me. He's monitoring our conversation."

"That's not the case, Comrade Gao, we are not..."

In the receiver, Xu Ying could hear a strange voice arguing over there.She sighed and said: "Forget it, national defense matters still matter. You can work peacefully over there. On our side, I will find a way to put a little more pressure on Dampier, maybe..."

"Perhaps, I can find someone to replace me." Gao Fan had an idea on the other end and said, "Aunt Xu, let me find someone for you. He can completely replace me. I hope Aunt Xu, you can give him a Full authorization.”
