King of Industry

  Chapter 484 Let’s go through the motions, shall we?

   "Dongfeng, why do you look a little listless?" Zhao Guoyang asked Xu Dongfeng after he brought Xu Dongfeng into the room, and looked him over.

Xu Dongfeng sighed "ah", and said with a bitter face: "Guoyang, this technical department, I really can't stay any longer. You are the factory leader now, see if there is any way, let me change the department... "

   Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

   It is said that although Xu Dongfeng is a bit lazy, he is still very good at dealing with people. It is unreasonable to have conflicts with others. How could he say such a thing?

   Paying close attention to Xu Dongfeng's expression, Zhao Guoyang took out a cigarette, handed it to him and said, "Please tell me clearly what's going on, otherwise, I won't be able to help you with this task!"

  Xu Dongfeng was overjoyed when he heard that he was good, but when he thought of the grievance he had just suffered, he felt a little sad.

   "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that when I just went to the bathroom, I overheard a few young people from the technical department talking about me, saying that I have no skills. Why does Master Hua still value me so much? They think it's unfair..."

  After Xu Dongfeng said this, Zhao Guoyang probably understood what was going on.

   Needless to say, this guy must have overheard other people's private discussions when he was squatting.

   Actually, I can’t blame other people for this matter. Xu Dongfeng is really not good at technical work, and he is a typical type of dawdling.

  But because Hua Guosheng, the leader of the technical department, is his master, he has always taken care of him a lot.

   It's been a long time, and everyone is not blind, so naturally they can feel some unfairness.

  Although no one would say anything in front of Xu Dongfeng, discussions behind the scenes were inevitable.

  Speaking of which, Zhao Guoyang still admires Xu Dongfeng, his former roommate.

   This guy does not compete for fame, profit, or cater to others. He is also quite generous and never cares about every detail.

  If this was placed in the era before his rebirth, he would be a "Buddhist youth".

  However, in the early 1990s, when the atmosphere of advocating work ability and advocating heroism, Xu Dongfeng seemed a bit out of place.

  Before, Zhao Guoyang also considered transferring Xu Dongfeng's job, and let him go to the purchasing or sales department.

  But because the salary of the technical department is still higher, he never told Xu Dongfeng.

   Now that this kid came to his door by himself, Zhao Guoyang thought about it for a while, and simply took this opportunity to give his affairs "once and for all".

   "Dongfeng, let's be honest. In fact, with your personality and characteristics, it is really not suitable for technical work."

  After hearing Zhao Guoyang's frank words, Xu Dongfeng said "hmm", but didn't say anything against it.

  Zhao Guoyang tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and slowly said: "I personally think that the most suitable job for you should be sales."

   "At the meeting just now, Director Ma raised the difficulty of the shortage of manpower in the sales department and asked for my opinion..."

   "I think you should be able to do the sales department. What's your idea? If you want, I'll bring it up with the factory manager!"

  After Zhao Guoyang said these words, Xu Dongfeng stood up immediately.

"Great, the sales department has always been the department I want to go to. It would be great if I could go! Guoyang, I'll leave this to you. Turn around...I'll treat you to dinner!" Xu Dongfeng said excitedly .

   With this guy, Zhao Guoyang is naturally not polite.

  He said with a "huh": "You owe this meal first. I guess I have to travel to the capital again tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I really don't have time!"

   "Success, success, then when you come back, I will cleanse you up!" Xu Dongfeng said hastily.

   chatted with Xu Dongfeng for a few more words, Zhao Guoyang sent him out of the house, and let him wait for the transfer order at ease.

   Sitting back on his chair again, thinking about the upcoming trip to the capital, Zhao Guoyang wondered whether he should call Mr. Li to inform him.

  After all, I can theoretically be regarded as a "special researcher" of the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry. It seems a little unreasonable to go to the capital without notifying this boss.

  Thinking of this, Zhao Guoyang picked up the fixed phone at hand and dialed the number of Mr. Li's office.

  The phone rang several times, but no one answered. He probably went out for something. Zhao Guoyang shook his head. It seemed that he had to wait until the capital to contact Mr. Li.

  …

  After coming out of the Beijing Railway Station, Zhao Guoyang felt a chill in his body.

  In mid-to-late April, when people in Jiangnan Province have started to wear spring and autumn shirts, it is still a bit cold in the north.

   Mu Aijun on the side saw Zhao Guoyang shivering, so he patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Guoyang, I told you to bring an extra coat before you set off. Do you regret it now?"

  Zhao Guoyang straightened his waist and said: "No, it's just that I just got off the train and haven't gotten used to it. It will be fine in a while."

   Mu Aijun nodded with a smile, and while walking through the crowded crowd, explained to Zhao Guoyang the things that need to be paid attention to during this trip to the capital.

   "Guoyang, after a while, let's go to the Management Bureau of Inherent Assets to make an appointment and report, and then we can arrange board and lodging issues."

"At the Management Bureau of Inherent Assets, the person in charge of the reception should be the general management office. There are a lot of people in the office these days, and it may be busy. We need to be more considerate, keep a low profile, and don't throw face at others... "

   Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang felt a little funny.

  It seems that the incident where I was angry with He Jusheng earlier gave Director Mu a better understanding of his character.

  If it was put in the past, Director Mu would never say this last sentence.

  Although this meeting was mainly in charge of the Machinery Industry Department, the all-terrain vehicle project was arranged by the Inherent Assets Management Bureau.

   Therefore, it is the general management office in the bureau that is responsible for the reception task, not the general department under the machinery industry department.

   Zhao Guoyang naturally accepts Director Mu's suggestion with an open mind.

  He was just about to say a few words of promise when he saw a row of taxis parked on the platform outside the train station.

  Seeing these taxis, Zhao Guoyang hurriedly greeted Director Mu and walked over quickly.

  …

  It was almost noon when Zhao Guoyang and Mu Aijun arrived at the office building of the State Administration of Assets.

  The National Assets Management Bureau is an independent agency under the Ministry of Finance, and it does not work together with the Ministry of Finance.

  Different from some functional departments within the Ministry of Finance, the State Administration of Inherent Assets is a national bureau with strong independence.

  The so-called national bureau is a relatively independent working department that specializes in certain industries and affairs under the centralized management of various ministries and commissions under the State Council.

  The National Bureau is not directly under the leadership of the State Council, but accepts the leadership of relevant ministries and commissions, but it is not a functional department within the ministries and commissions.

  Its main responsibility is to formulate industry planning and industry policies, and conduct industry management.

  The State Administration of Inherent Assets is a deputy-ministerial structure, and its full-time leaders, such as the director and the secretary, are all serious deputy-ministerial cadres.

  Of course, only such an administrative level can manage the numerous state-owned enterprises at the departmental and deputy ministerial levels below.

   After following Mu Aijun into the building, Zhao Guoyang discovered that the factory manager Mu was really familiar with this place, and he even knew where the luggage was temporarily placed.

   "Guoyang, the general management office is just ahead, just turn a corner. Let's hurry up and report there, maybe we can catch up with the lunch in the cafeteria..."

  After putting away the luggage, Mu Aijun patted Zhao Guoyang on the shoulder and said with a smile.

   Zhao Guoyang wasn't too worried about the lunch issue. There is no food in the cafeteria, and it is not a big deal for me and Director Mu to go out and solve it casually.

  While the two were talking in low voices, they had gradually arrived at the door of the general management office.

  Looking up at the sign hanging on the door, Mu Aijun was about to knock on the door to enter when two people came out.

   "Director Zhu, arrangements have been made at the guest house, you can check in now, if you have any other questions, just call me!"

  The first person was a thin middle-aged man who looked sick, but his voice was very loud.

  He called him "Director Zhu", a rather stocky guy who is not tall.

   "Thank you so much Director Ma, thank you!" The man shook hands with the middle-aged man with a smile on his face.

  The skinny middle-aged man smiled and waved his hands and said, "Director Zhu, you're welcome. Serving key enterprises like you is what our general management office should do!"

  Director Zhu thanked him a few more words before turning around and preparing to leave.

  When he turned around, he was blocked by Zhao Guoyang, and his expression changed slightly.

  Actually, this is really no wonder to Zhao Guoyang. The corridor at the entrance of the general management office is not spacious at all. Four people standing at the door are naturally a bit crowded.

  The skinny middle-aged man over there also saw this scene, frowned and looked at Mu Aijun and Zhao Guoyang and said, "Hey, what are you doing? Why did you come here without being notified?"

  Because of the previous agreement with Director Mu, Zhao Guoyang did not speak, and Director Mu negotiated with the other party.

  However, his silent performance here, in the eyes of the other two, made him feel a little contemptuous.

  The "Director Zhu" saw that Zhao Guoyang had no intention of giving way, so he turned his head to feel the middle-aged man and said, "Director Ma, these two are your guests, right? Can you ask them to hide?"

   Hearing this guy's arrogant words, Zhao Guoyang was a little upset.

   On the other side, Mu Aijun was already explaining her identity to the skinny middle-aged man.

   "Your number, we are from Hongda Machinery Factory in Ninghai City, Jiangnan Province. We have been notified by the Machinery Industry Department to attend the meeting."

   "The notice tells us to come to the general management office to check in after we arrive. Look..."

   "Hehe, Director Ma, it turns out that these two are colleagues from the Shandong Agricultural and Forestry Machinery Factory!"

  After hearing this, the "Director Zhu" showed a trace of disdain on his face: "I haven't heard of Hongda Machinery Factory, so it should be a formality?"
