Sail across the sea

Chapter 3: How he often receives foreign guests

At Yanxiu Fertilizer Factory, a jeep drove directly to the downstairs of the factory office.The car door opened and three young men got out of the car. They were Gao Fan, Ningmo and Bob.

In this era, the gates of various units are not strictly controlled, and people from outside units will not be blocked or questioned when they come in to do business.

However, when Bob with yellow hair and high nose got off the jeep, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.The old man from the mailroom of the office building stumbled out. He first showed his front teeth yellowed by cigarette smoke as a greeting to Bob, and then turned his attention to Gao Fan and Ning Mo.

Perhaps because he saw that Gao Fan had more leadership qualities than Ning Mo, the old man in the mail room asked him: "Comrade, where are you from? Is this foreign guest here with you?"

"I am the general manager of Canghua Technology and Trade Company in Cangtang County. My name is Gao Fan. This foreign guest is our strategic director, Mr. Bob Hatch. We are here to see you, Director Yin."

"Oh, our factory director Yin is here, I'll tell him right away." The old man stumbled and said. After speaking, he looked at Bob again, hesitating whether to invite the foreign guests upstairs first.After all, they are foreign guests. If they are asked to stand outside the building and wait, isn't it... that it will have a bad international impact?

Gao Fan smiled and said, "Master, no need to trouble you. I also know Factory Director Yin's office. Let's just go up to him."

"That's okay, that's okay, come on, come on, I'll show you the way." The old man said obediently.

If the visitors were just Gao Fan and Ning Mo, the old man would definitely not be so easy to talk to.Can anyone go to the factory director's office?But there were foreign guests present, so the old man didn't dare to say anything.

In the old man's memory, the last time he saw a foreigner was 40 years ago. Yes, Yanxiu was occupied for several months during the Anti-Japanese War.

Following the old man, Gao Fan and his party went to the second floor of the office building and came to the door of factory director Yin Baowen's office.

The door of the office was open, and the old man walked in. He just said to Yin Baowen, who was immersed in reading the newspaper, "The factory director is looking for someone." Gao Fan had already walked in, stood in front of Yin Baowen's desk, and shouted with a smile. One sentence:
"Uncle Yin, do you still know me?"

"You?" Yin Baowen looked up from the newspaper, looked at Gao Fan, and frowned slightly. For a moment, he really didn't remember who the other person was.

"I am Gao Fan, and my father is Gao Yiping from Canghai Fertilizer Factory." Gao Fan announced his family name.

"Oh! It's Xiaofan! You've grown so big!" Yin Baowen suddenly remembered, and his face was filled with smiles. He stood up and stretched out his hand to shake Gao Fan's hand.

Yanxiu Fertilizer Factory and Canghai Fertilizer Factory are both companies in Luping, and Yin Baowen and Gao Yiping are very familiar with them.Gao Fan once visited Yanxiu Factory with Gao Yiping, so Yin Baowen had a little impression of him.

However, it is impossible for Yin Baowen to remember the juniors of such colleagues very clearly. What really makes Yin Baowen remember Gao Fan are the various legends about Canghai Fertilizer Factory in the past year or so, and the stories in these legends. The name "Gaofan" appears frequently in Chinese.

In fact, in the entire circle of corporate leaders in Maolin Province's chemical industry system, who doesn't know that Gao Yiping, the director of Canghai Fertilizer Factory, gave birth to a son who was like a monster, and that he was all influenced by his son, and he was able to survive in just a short period of time? Within a year, he was promoted from a department-level factory director to a department-level factory director. Now he is in charge of a pilot ammonium-to-urine factory of the Ministry of Chemical Industry. The fixed assets were originally valued at more than 2000 million. That’s called a The spring breeze is proud.

Yin Baowen believed that he had a close relationship with Gao Yiping, especially since he hugged Gao Fan when he was less than three years old. He had been thinking about finding a way to rekindle his old relationship with Gao Yiping, and also get some of Gao Fan's affection. Demonic spirit.

No, it was delivered to the door.

As for saying "he has grown so big", it is just a routine in this situation. How can Lao Yin remember how old Gao Fan was in the past?Yin Baowen had already stretched out one hand in front of Gao Fan, and when he glanced at it from the corner of his eye, his hand stopped involuntarily.

"Xiao Fan, this is..."

Yin Baowen pointed his finger at Bob and asked in shock.

"This is Mr. Bob Hatch, the foreign investor of our Canghua Technology and Trade Company and the strategic director of our company." Gao Fan introduced again.

"Oh, what is that, Hello, ha... ha, sir?"

Yin Baowen's mouth was trembling just like the old man in the reception room.

"My name is Bob Hatch, you can call me Bob." Bob said to Yin Baowen in Chinese.

"Can you speak Chinese?" Yin Baowen was even more surprised.

Gao Fan smiled and said: "Uncle Yin, Mr. Hutch likes our Chinese culture very much, so he taught himself Chinese and can handle some daily communication without any problem.

"In addition, he is an American and is relatively informal. We usually call him by his first name when we are in the company. However, if you feel it is inappropriate, you can call him Mr. Hutch. Hutch is the little husky in the middle. The word 'Shi' was added."

Upon hearing Gao Fan's explanation, Yin Baowen and Bob cast dissatisfied glances at Gao Fan at the same time.However, Yin Baowen immediately remembered Bob's last name, so he greeted with a smile:
"Mr. Hushi, please sit down quickly. By the way, Xiaofan, and this..., please sit down too. Lao Wang, why are you standing there stupidly? Go and ask Director Chen to come and get the factory office Pour the best tea leaves to your guests.”

The latter sentence was, of course, directed at the old man in the communication room.In every unit, there is an old man named Wang in the reception room. There is no need to go into details about this.

The group sat down on a simple sofa in Yin Baowen's office, and Yin Baowen also sat on a small sofa.After hearing the news, the office director surnamed Chen was busy making tea for everyone, and then pulled up a back chair and sat next to the factory director, preparing to act as a stenographer and assistant when necessary.

"Xiaofan, is your father in good health?"

Yin Baowen started a family affair with Gao Fan like all his elders.

It stands to reason that when foreign guests come to visit, Yin Baowen should focus on the foreign guests first no matter what.But he noticed that Gao Fan didn't seem to be so respectful towards Bob. If he acted too diligently, he would inevitably be despised by this child.

So, he pretended that he often received foreign guests, left Bob aside, chatted with Gao Fan first, and also tried to tease Gao Fan about his purpose of coming.

"He's pretty good, but he's been very busy in the past six months and has lost a little weight." Gao Fan responded.

"It's better to be busy. How many people envy Lao Gao for being busy." Yin Baowen said with some bitterness, "Look at you, Uncle Yin, you can't even get busy now. The Department of Chemical Industry gave us an ultimatum, asking us to Production will stop by the end of this year at the latest.”
