Zheng Linong stayed in Bitian for two days, mainly listening to the work report of the Shuinan Provincial Department of Chemical Industry and giving some important instructions.
It is naturally inconvenient for Gao Fan to participate in such activities. Fortunately, the Chemical Industry Department of Shuinan Province is also quite experienced in this kind of situation. It specially arranged a young man from the office to accompany Gao Fan on a tour of Bitian, entertain him for meals, etc.
There is no need to go into detail about these.
On the third day, Zheng Linong left Bitian and headed to Huanglan City to inspect the Huanglan Chemical Plant. The Chemical Industry Department of Shuinan Province sent a deputy director to accompany him. The group set off in two cars, and the one in front was
Zheng Linong, Wu Zhefu and the deputy director named Feng Liansong, and the car behind them was Gao Fan and the deputy director of the Department of Chemical Industry named Pan Yue.
"Director Pan, what is the situation of Huanglan Chemical Plant? Can you introduce it to me?"
As the car got on the road, Gao Fan sat in the back seat and asked Pan Yue in the passenger seat.
In this era, grassroots officials prefer the passenger seat when riding in cars. They feel that the passenger seat is spacious and has good visibility, so it is a good seat. As for senior leaders, they like to sit in the back row when riding in cars. One is for safety reasons, and the other is because senior leaders sit in the back row.
The car originally had a more spacious back seat and was not as cramped as the Jeep often used by grassroots officials.
Zheng Linong and the others were riding in the Crown from Huanglan Chemical Plant. Gao Fan and Pan Yue were riding in a very old Beijing Jeep. When they got in the car, Pan Yue was not polite to Gao Fan and just said
After opening the passenger door and getting in, Gao Fan naturally had to sit in the back row.
"What do you want to know?"
Upon hearing Gao Fan's question, Pan Yue asked angrily without looking back.
"What does this factory do?" Gao Fan asked.
"You are a manufacturer of polyester. Do you understand polyester?" Pan Yue said, his tone rather cold, and he didn't know why Gao Fan provoked him.
"You know a little bit." Gao Fan didn't pay attention to Pan Yue's attitude. He wondered if this man had sex with his wife when he got up early, or if his child didn't do well in the midterm exam. In short, this matter had nothing to do with him. Gao Fan
, why should he think too much?
Before getting on the bus, Feng Liansong specifically told Pan Yue to "take good care of Xiao Gao." Even if Pan Yue didn't care about Gao Fan's identity, he had to care about the director's instructions. Asking him himself, even if he was unhappy, he would
Have to answer.
"Which country did the technology come from?" Gao Fan continued to ask.
He asked this because when they first arrived in Bitian the day before yesterday, Bo Bingyuan told Zheng Linong that the Crown was bought by Huanglan Chemical Plant to receive foreign engineers, and the equipment of Huanglan Chemical Plant was imported from abroad.
of.
"Japan." Pan Yue replied succinctly.
"Is the PTA route installed in Okaya, Japan?" Gao Fan asked.
"Do you know Gangu?" Pan Yue's voice revealed some surprise.
Gao Fan did not answer, but continued to ask: "What is the annual output?"
Pan Yue paused for a moment, then returned to his previous attitude and replied: "60,000 tons."
"No wonder." Gao Fan muttered softly.
This time, Pan Yue finally turned his head, looked Gao Fan up and down, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Gu Qi
"With an investment of more than 500 million, it is not too much to buy a few good cars." Gao Fan said cheerfully.
"Who did you hear that the investment in Huanglan Chemical Plant is more than 500 million?" Pan Yue asked.
The amount of investment in Huanglan Chemical Plant is not a secret, but it is not a household knowledge. Just now, Gao Fan didn't even know what Huanglan Chemical Plant was doing, and now he is talking about an investment of more than 500 million. Why doesn't Pan Yue let Pan Yue know?
I feel strange.
Gao Fan said: "Isn't that what you said? The investment in polyester equipment is about 10,000 yuan per ton of production capacity. You said its annual output is 60,000 tons, which is almost more than 500 million yuan."
"Aren't you a college student? How can you understand this?"
"I saw it by chance while I was reading, and I remembered it."
"Who are you, Minister Zheng?" Pan Yue finally asked the question trapped in his heart.
Early this morning, the Chemical Industry Department office notified him that he should go to Huanglan Chemical Plant. His task was to accompany a college student who came with Minister Zheng.
If there was no Gao Fan, it would be just right for Feng Liansong to accompany Zheng Linong and Wu Zhefu in a car. When they arrived at Huanglan, there would be people there to receive them, so Feng Liansong did not need to bring anyone else with him.
But now there was Gao Fan, and it would be too crowded for him to sit in Zheng Linong's car. It would not look good to have him sit in a car alone, so the office sent Pan Yue to accompany Gao Fan. Pan Yue
It can be regarded as a disaster.
Regarding Gao Fan's identity, the Chemical Industry Department has not figured out either.
Zheng Linong had introduced Gao Fan's identity to Bo Pingyuan: a Peking University student, the son of the director of a fertilizer factory in Maolin County. However, how could such a person follow Zheng Linong to Shuinan? Everyone did not understand.
It seems unnecessary to be too attentive to this person, but too cold and inappropriate. Let Pan Yue accompany him, which means that he is not neglected, but at the same time he is not taken too seriously, which is a compromise.
Pan Yue, 46 years old this year, was originally from the Chemical Engineering Research Institute under the Department of Chemical Industry. Because he had two technical skills, he was promoted to deputy chief engineer. However, this person was not very good at life, and he was quite offended at the Chemical Industry Research Institute.
Some people couldn't stay any longer. The department was also afraid of causing trouble, so they transferred him to the agency and became the deputy director of the Intelligence and Information Department.
The Intelligence and Information Department is an unpopular department in the agency. It has no corresponding subordinate companies, so it has little power. As for what kind of intelligence it is engaged in, it is just talk. How can the Chemical Industry Department have the ability to engage in intelligence?
Arranging Pan Yue here is actually to hide Xue and keep him from causing trouble. As long as he stays quietly until retirement age, he can go home to plant flowers and play chess.
Pan Yue knew what his position was, so he simply gave up on himself. In addition to sorting out a few technology news and other things to deal with errands, Pan Yue spent the rest of his time studying chess, and gradually he became addicted.
When the office told him to go out in the morning, he was reading an article written by Hu Ronghua, "56 Cannons Advance, 3 Soldiers, and the Rebel Palace Horse Fei Right Elephant". He was only halfway through when he was pulled out and told that he was going to Huanglan Chemical Co., Ltd.
Factory, can he not be angry?
He thought that a deputy director in his fifth year of life was actually arranged to accompany a half-year-old child. It was said that he was just a college student who followed Zheng Linong. He kept muttering in his heart, wondering what the relationship between this college student and Zheng Linong was. He De
How could Zheng Linong be allowed to take him with him when he went to Huanglan for inspection?
"I said I met Minister Zheng because I happened to be in the same compartment while taking the train. Do you believe me?"
