Qin Hai in the previous life was relatively familiar with Dong Laishun, but this was his first time here. The waiter took the two of them to a table for two and asked them what they wanted to order. Qin Hai turned his attention to
Wang Zheyi, Wang Zheyi was not polite, he opened his mouth and said: "Four plates of mutton!"
The waiter agreed and turned away. Qin Hai turned to look at the mutton plate on the table next to him, then turned back and whispered to Wang Zheyi: "Wang Zheyi, the mutton plate here... seems to be relatively big."
"It's not big, a plate is half a catty, I know." Wang Zheyi responded.
"Are we two going to eat two kilograms of mutton?" Qin Hai asked, dumbfounded.
Wang Zheyi smiled and said: "Why, are you feeling distressed?"
"I'm not distressed, I'm worried about my stomachache... Let me ask first, how much can you eat?" Qin Hai said.
Wang Zheyi said: "If I weren't afraid that you would spend too much money, I could eat four plates by myself."
"Okay... let's add more if we don't have enough." Qin Hai was convinced. The girls in the capital are really fierce. A girl who looks soft and ladylike can actually eat two kilograms of mutton in one meal.
The mutton was served quickly. It was cut as thin as paper and piled on the plate in rolls. It was red and white and looked very appetizing. Wang Zheyi's eyes lit up when she saw the mutton.
After giving a casual courtesy to Qin Hai, he picked up a piece of mutton and simmered it in the boiling copper hot pot for a few seconds. Then he stuffed it directly into his mouth without dipping it in seasoning and chewed it.
Got up.
"Ah, the taste of hot-boiled mutton is still so delicious!"
After swallowing the mutton in her mouth, Wang Zheyi let out an intoxicating sigh. Then, she picked up another piece of mutton and stuffed it into the soup.
"We don't need to be so exaggerated, right?" Qin Hai couldn't stand it anymore.
Wang Zheyi said seriously: "Qin Hai, you are not stationed abroad, so you don't have this kind of experience. During the two years I was away, I dreamed about Dong Laishun's hotpot mutton. I dreamed about it once, and when I woke up, I found that the pillow towel was soaked with tears.
"
"I suspect it's saliva..." Qin Hai guessed evilly.
"There are tears too..." Wang Zheyi defended with a blushing face.
Qin Hai asked: "How long have you been back from abroad?"
"It's been more than two months." Wang Zheyi said.
"You haven't been to Donglaishun in more than two months?" Qin Hai asked again.
"Yes." Wang Zheyi said. Seeing Qin Hai's strange eyes, she explained: "You also need to be accompanied when eating. If you eat by yourself, it will be tasteless."
"You are from the capital, how could you not find a companion?" Qin Hai felt even more strange.
Wang Zheyi smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "Of course I have company, there are many middle school classmates and college classmates in the capital. However, when I came back this time, I always felt that there was some distance between me and them. It's not just them, I think
The people around me are different from before I went abroad. The topics everyone is most interested in talking about are making money and building relationships. By the way, there was a boy from college who wanted to treat me to dinner, but his purpose was
In order for me to help him contact foreign schools, he wants to study in Europe."
"This is also a good thing." Qin Hai commented.
"I don't like this kind of relationship that is too utilitarian." Wang Zheyi said. "If the purpose of inviting you to dinner is to ask for something from you, how will the food taste?"
Qin Hai smiled and said: "How do you know that I am not asking you to treat me to dinner? To be honest, I heard that you are in the chemical import and export company, so I rushed to treat you to dinner. Four plates of mutton...
…How much does this cost? It makes me feel sad just thinking about it.”
"Four plates are not enough!" Wang Zheyi said with a smile with wide eyes, "As for the sugar-coated shells, I have always adhered to the principle that the sugar-coated shells should be kept and the shells returned. By the way, just like the ice cream you gave me when you were in Spain.
The coupons are the same.”
Speaking of ice cream coupons, Qin Hai couldn't help but think of his interactions with Wang Zheyi in Spain. Although the two did not communicate much, Qin Hai could feel that Wang Zheyi was smart, generous, and had a very pure love.
Hate clear concepts of right and wrong.
As a diplomat, Wang Zheyi must provide services to people from home, but her attitude towards different people has very subtle differences.
For people like Zhu Xiaofeng who took the opportunity to travel abroad, Wang Zheyi showed a businesslike face, polite but not approachable. Qin Hai showed some Spanish and immediately got Wang Zheyi's approval. She didn't show it on her face.
Traces, but secretly provided a lot of convenience. In the end, she accepted the ice cream coupons from Qin Hai, not out of the mentality of getting a small advantage, but because she truly regarded Qin Hai as a friend who could be socialized.
"Wang Zheyi, don't tell me that you are in the Chemical Import and Export Company. Maybe I will have a chance to ask you to do something in the future." Qin Hai said in advance.
Wang Zheyi ate hard, and the glutton in her stomach had stabilized. Seeing that Qin Hai didn't move his chopsticks much, she picked up a few rolls of mutton and threw it into the pot. After rinsing it for a few times, she pushed it to Qin Hai with her chopsticks.
On the other side, he said: "After washing it, you can eat it quickly... I remember you are not engaged in steel, why are you dealing with the chemical industry again?"
Qin Hai took out the mutton that Wang Zheyi had boiled for him, dipped it in the ingredients and stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing, he said: "I am engaged in materials, steel is part of it, and chemical materials are also involved. I have been working on modified polymers recently.
Some research on vinyl chloride and fiberglass, which all belong to the chemical industry, I think you have heard of it, right?"
Wang Zheyi stopped his chopsticks, looked at Qin Hai, and said: "Polyvinyl chloride and fiberglass are the businesses we are currently doing. These materials are all imported, and the import scale is worrying. For a country as big as ours, like these
Basic chemical materials are heavily dependent on imports. If we encounter foreign sanctions, we don't know what to do."
"Is this your opinion or the opinion of your leaders?" Qin Hai asked in surprise. It is now the honeymoon period of relations between China and the West. Wherever Qin Hai goes, everyone is talking about how to participate in the international cycle and integrate into it.
Regarding optimistic topics such as the global economic circle, Wang Zheyi's views can definitely be regarded as alarmist in the eyes of some people.
"Perhaps it is influenced by my family." Wang Zheyi said, "I always feel that a country like ours still needs some independence in many places. I have a feeling in Spain in the past two years, although Western politicians are in public opinion
They talk about welcoming China back to the international order, but in private, they still have a lot of discrimination and prejudice against China. If there is any emergency, it is entirely possible for Western countries to exclude China from their circle again.
outside."
"You're right." Qin Hai simply commented. As a time traveler, he certainly knew about the various containment and suppression measures that the West would impose on China in later generations. But Wang Zheyi did not have such a golden finger and was able to see this.
This inevitably made Qin Hai think more highly of her.
"What I am doing now is hoping to improve China's self-supply capabilities in chemical materials. However, to do this, it is inevitable to fully interact with the international market. I need to import some necessary raw materials. We produce
Products need to enter the international market, compete with foreign manufacturers, and gain a place of their own. All of this is inseparable from the help of your chemical import and export company. It seems that I am not unfairly treated for this meal." Qin Hai
smiled.
"You are not unjust. You have been thinking of taking advantage of me for a long time." Wang Zheyi scolded with a smile. Unexpectedly, she never likes others to put communication and interests together.
She talked about it, but she couldn't feel disgusted with Qin Hai's words. Perhaps it was because Qin Hai never suffered losses when doing business with foreign manufacturers in Spain, which gave Wang Zheyi some confidence in him.
"In addition to import and export matters, if it is convenient, I would also like to ask you to help me collect data on various chemical materials imported into our country, including types, prices, quantities, etc. Do you have suitable channels?" Qin
Hai asked.
Wang Zheyi frowned and asked, "What do you want this data for?"
"It is used to determine the focus of my work." Qin Hai explained, "My consideration is that in terms of chemical products, we must first achieve import substitution, and then turn to export substitution to occupy the international market. To achieve import substitution,
First of all, we must know which materials are most in short supply in our country, how big the gap is, and what the price is. Only by understanding these data can we be targeted, don't you think?"
"You mean, you alone can solve the problem of chemical raw materials in our country?" Wang Zheyi asked in disbelief.
Qin Hai shook his head and said: "Of course it's impossible to rely on me alone. But I can influence other chemical companies and make them realize what they should do. In addition, we have developed various technologies in a targeted manner that can be transferred to relevant companies.
Enterprises, allowing them to gain production capacity, so that they can effectively achieve import substitution. In short, someone must do these things, and I am one of them."
Wang Zheyi was convinced by Qin Hai. She nodded and said: "You are right. However, the information you want is confidential for our company and I cannot leak it to you. If you can let me
I believe you really have the ability to influence the domestic chemical industry. Maybe I can use my spare time to help you collect some public data, which I believe will be helpful to you."
"If that's the case, then thank you very much." Qin Hai said with a smile. He knew that Wang Zheyi chose a more euphemistic way of saying it. When it comes to collecting public data, people who know how to do it can compare with those who don't.
What he saw in the data was completely different. As an insider, Wang Zheyi was willing to help him with this kind of data collection work. In fact, he had already planned to reveal some internal data to him, but no one needed to reveal it.
"What's the use of just saying thank you? You have to take some practical actions." Wang Zheyi protested with a pursed lips and a smile.
"This is not easy." Qin Hai said. He turned his head, stretched out his hand to hit the waiter not far away, and shouted: "Waiter, four more plates of mutton!" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, novels. Better updates faster!
