RPAGF Chapter 953 Overseas Inspection Tour
Chapter 953 Overseas Inspection Tour
August 18th is auspicious for travel.
Qi Tongwei led his delegation onto a special plane bound for Europe and America.
Based on current global industrial development trends and Beishan's specific circumstances.
Qi Tongwei's purpose for this inspection was threefold: to promote industrial upgrading, to introduce advanced technologies, and to learn modern management experience.
In layman's terms, it means driving Beishan City toward informatization, manufacturing automation, and deepening state-owned enterprise reform, among other things.
The focus is on examining advanced production lines and automation systems in Europe and the United States in fields such as machinery manufacturing, electronic communications, and chemicals, to understand the intelligent manufacturing trends in the early stages of "Industry 3.0".
At the same time, we conducted research on how European and American governments support industrial development, including mechanisms such as industrial policies, tax incentives, and technology innovation funds, and learned about modern corporate management models.
Contact local business associations, multinational corporations, and Chinese business networks to promote the city's industrial base and investment environment, and strive to attract foreign investment and technology cooperation projects.
Furthermore, it explores pathways for sustainable urban development, examines how industrial cities can balance development and environmental protection, and draws on the practical experience of Europe and the United States in pollution control, energy efficiency, and green factories.
This is the future trend. The situation will change in a decade or so. If someone could complete an assignment ahead of time, it would undoubtedly be of great help to his career.
Just like today, the trend is towards the economy and GDP. Those who have the ability to drive the economy and increase GDP will become the focus of development.
Similarly, when policies change more than a decade later, this foundation will become his leverage to accelerate his upward progress.
After careful consideration, he selected four routes for this expedition.
First stop: Germany; second stop: France; third stop: the Netherlands; fourth stop: Switzerland.
However, Qi Tongwei was not very confident about this inspection.
Firstly, it is related to the international situation. Although China is one of the permanent members of the Security Council, it is not very popular internationally.
Especially those developed countries, primarily those in Europe and America.
In their eyes, the Chinese are like a group of uncivilized primitives.
Therefore, there will be many challenges in visiting the other party's high-end industries.
He originally intended to accumulate more sign-in points to break the deadlock.
Unexpectedly, the collapse of Tianzhou Coal Mine last month caused him to use up all the sign-in points he had just accumulated.
I don't know if what I've accumulated in just over a month will be enough.
Of course, besides the system, he wasn't completely unprepared.
Six months ago, he had already made early investments in Europe and America through Shengtian Group.
Regardless, with Shengtian's strong rise in the mobile phone market, Shengtian Group has gained some international recognition.
Therefore, through Shengtian Group, Liang Lu contacted many well-known European and American companies for him. Although they were not quite in the top tier, they were still far superior to the companies under Beishan.
Ten hours later.
The plane sliced through the sky, and when everyone awoke from their daze, the plane had already reached German airspace.
Qi Tongwei checked the time; it was 9 p.m. in Beijing, but Germany was still as bright as day.
Looking through the glass window, Qi Tongwei estimated that it should be in the afternoon.
Looking down at Germany, Tian Fengyi sighed, "If you don't call it a developed country, just look at how prosperous it is. Let alone Wenshan, even our provincial capital can't catch up."
Qi Tongwei, however, was completely unmoved. He had witnessed China twenty years later, when China had already stood at the top of the world.
Although it lags behind in some areas, its overall strength is no less than that of any other country.
"Comrade Fengyi, let's not boost the morale of others while diminishing our own. Although we are still a little behind today, I believe that with everyone's efforts, surpassing Germany and catching up with the United States is only a matter of time."
"Yes, yes, I believe that. It has only been 21 years since the reform and opening up. With the efforts of one generation, many of our regions are already on par with Europe and America."
"What does this show? It shows that our country has unlimited potential and the creativity of our people is astonishing. I believe that under the wise leadership of the Party, we will surely achieve even greater leaps forward in the future." Tian Fengyi spoke a string of official jargon, then suddenly turned to Qi Tongwei, "By the way, Tongwei, can I discuss something with you?"
"What's up?
"Can we change our itinerary?"
"?" Qi Tongwei glanced at Tian Fengyi. "What's your opinion?"
“Look, according to the plan, we have a total of forty days to go to four countries and seven or eight places. We also need to connect with local governments, inspect relevant enterprises, and meet with business associations in various places. Isn’t the time too tight?”
Qi Tongwei said, "I think we have plenty of time. We're not here for tourism. To put it bluntly, we're just changing our work location."
Since it's work, you have to have a work attitude, right?
Tian Fengyi said, "You can't say that. It's not easy to go abroad, so you should at least experience some of the local customs and culture."
Besides, isn't this also a form of assessment? We can't just focus on the companies themselves; the social atmosphere also significantly influences their development.
"We'll see," Qi Tongwei said, not agreeing.
He doesn't object to learning about local customs and traditions, but he worries that such knowledge will make the people in the group restless.
After all, the average wage in Germany is over 20,000 euros, and the average wage of employees is over 50,000 euros.
In contrast, the average person in China now earns only a few thousand Chinese yuan a year. Wouldn't such a huge gap cause these people to leave the group altogether?
As the leader of the group, he will certainly be held accountable.
Therefore, keeping a close eye on the members and being vigilant about changes in their political ideology is also one of his tasks.
……
Munich, the capital of Bavaria, is the largest city in southern Germany and the third largest city in the country. It is an economic, cultural, technological and transportation center, and is known as the "village of a million people". It has the vitality of a modern city, but also retains a strong Bavarian tradition.
This city boasts a rich history dating back to 1158. It was once the capital of the Kingdom of Bavaria and remains one of Germany's most charming cultural centers.
The city center's Piazza Marienplatz is the heart of the city, surrounded by iconic buildings such as the New Town Hall and the Church of Our Lady. The Isar River flows through the city, and the English Park on its banks is one of the largest urban parks in Europe, providing ample recreational space for citizens and tourists.
Munich is known as a place where "fairy tales meet modernity." It boasts historical attractions such as Neuschwanstein Castle and the Munich Residenz, as well as modern venues showcasing technology and innovation, such as the BMW Museum and the Deutsches Museum.
With a rich cultural and artistic atmosphere, it is one of the largest publishing centers in Europe, and boasts numerous theaters, concert halls, and world-renowned universities such as the University of Munich and the Technical University of Munich.
In addition, Munich is a major economic center in Germany, where high-tech industries and traditional industries coexist. Multinational companies such as Hammer and Dongemens have their headquarters here. It is also Germany's second largest financial center and a hub for the European insurance industry.
Overall, this city and Beishan have many similarities, and there are many lessons to be learned from them.
After landing and arriving at the hotel, Qi Tongwei first arranged for them to rest.
After a 10-hour flight, everyone was exhausted and desperately needed rest, which was a good opportunity to adjust to the time difference.
He slept until 7 p.m. German time, when Qi Tongwei was woken up by a phone call from Liang Lu.
During this period, Liang Lu stayed abroad to handle matters related to the cooperation with Nokia.
When Liang Lu learned that Qi Tongwei was coming to inspect the country, she decided not to rush back to China.
"How are you doing? Are you getting used to it?" Liang Lu's gentle and melodious voice came through the phone, and if you listened carefully, you could even detect a hint of joy.
The selfish, willful, and melancholic woman from the drama is completely unrecognizable in Liang Lu today. Instead, she is an intellectual, confident, and graceful young woman.
Therefore, it is said that a woman is like a flower, and her ability to bloom beautifully depends entirely on sufficient nourishment.
Qi Tongwei thought Liang Lu was referring to the time difference, "What's there to be unaccustomed to? I'm not a child."
Liang Lu said meaningfully, "If you're not a child, you need to be even more careful. This is a dazzling world, don't let yourself be blinded."
Qi Tongwei sensed a hint of jealousy. "What kind of person do you take your husband for? A lustful devil?"
Liang Lu giggled, "Isn't that right? Which little rascal was it on the plane who lied to me..."
"Hey, hey, hey, you can't say that without thinking." Qi Tongwei blushed.
Liang Lu laughed even harder.
Qi Tongwei feigned anger and said, "Fine, you dare to make fun of me? Believe me or not, I'll teach you a lesson."
Liang Lu was still smiling. "Then you can clean up. I'm on the 28th floor."
Qi Tongwei asked in surprise, "Historon?"
"Ah."
"You guys are really well-informed. You even know which hotel we booked."
Liang Lu said, "You don't know this, do you? This hotel has shares in Shengtian. I received the news as soon as you checked in."
Qi Tongwei was quite shocked, "Your business has expanded to this extent?"
Liang Lu said, "It's not so much development as investment. The owner of this hotel is optimistic about the prospects of Shengtian and invested in Shengtian with hotel shares."
Qi Tongwei suddenly realized, said "Wait for me," and quickly put on his clothes. Following Liang Lu's directions, he went to a VIP elevator and went up to the 28th floor.
The elevator doors opened, and Liang Lu stood outside, smiling and chatting.
The moment Qi Tongwei stepped out of the elevator, he was instantly captivated by the scene before him.
Unlike their fifteenth floor, which has a single corridor leading to rooms on both sides, this floor is an integrated space.
The layout is spacious and luxurious, as magnificent as a palace.
The high ceiling is adorned with intricate carvings that meander and spiral like vines, exquisitely detailed and lifelike. The floor is covered with a luxurious carpet, which feels like walking on clouds, soft and comfortable.
The walls are also adorned with exquisite murals and artworks, with paintings and sculptures of various styles complementing each other, each piece exuding a unique artistic atmosphere.
The corridor is also decorated with exquisite vases and ornaments, making the whole space more elegant and luxurious.
"This is one of the three ultra-luxurious presidential suites in Heathon, which are generally reserved for important political figures from various countries," Liang Lu said.
"How about it? Should we change all the rooms you booked? There are many regular presidential suites downstairs. Although they can't compare to here, they are definitely much better than the standard rooms you are staying in."
Qi Tongwei waved his hand, "Forget it, my rank only allows me to stay in a standard room. The presidential suite is for committee members."
"What's the point of having different ranks here? Can they even control things abroad?"
"We have to be mindful of the impact. If it were just me personally, it wouldn't matter, but with so many people involved, if it gets back, it'll make me look like I'm indulging in extravagance."
"Can't we just pay for it ourselves? Besides, your wife is the president of Shengtian Group, and this hotel is owned by Shengtian Holdings. It's not against the rules for you to enjoy your wife's benefits, is it?"
"That doesn't count, but it's easy for people to gossip."
"What gossip?"
"For example, things like being detached from comrades, detached from the masses, and detached from the collective."
Liang Lu chuckled, "Fine, fine, if you don't want to, then keep working hard and become a committee member as soon as possible, then you can legitimately live in the presidential suite."
Qi Tongwei laughed and put his arm around Liang Lu, saying, "Then you should support your husband more. When I climb up, I'll give you a big reward."
As he spoke, he reached around his waist and lifted it upwards, thus supporting the massive Earth.
Liang Lu rolled her eyes at Qi Tongwei and slapped his mischievous hand away. "A huge reward, indeed. By the time you reach the committee level, I'm afraid I'll be living a life of widowhood."
"If we want to meet then, let alone do it secretly like this, even arranging a meeting openly will be extremely difficult."
At the committee level, they're no longer considered cadres, but rather representatives of the people; their security level is incredibly high.
Given Liang Lu's status, even meeting her is difficult, let alone spending time alone with her.
Sensing Liang Lu's bad mood, Qi Tongwei smiled awkwardly, said no more, bowed slightly, and picked Liang Lu up in his arms. "In that case, I'll pay the reward first."
As she spoke, she rushed towards the bedroom, but the room was complicated and she couldn't find the place for a while. In the end, Liang Lu gave her directions and she finally arrived at her destination.
Two hours later...,
Liang Lu felt weak all over, squinting at Qi Tongwei who was leaning against the headboard smoking, and said listlessly, "How come you're so amazing now?"
Qi Tongwei chuckled, "Haven't I always been this good?"
"This is different, it's even worse this time. Did you take medication?"
Qi Tongwei felt his male dignity was being challenged. "Are you looking down on me? Do I still need to take medicine?"
“Something’s definitely wrong with you,” Liang Lu said with absolute certainty. “Studies show that women’s perception is six times that of men. How could I not know if you’ve changed?”
Qi Tongwei was taken aback. "What changes could there be?"
“The changes are huge, like...like when you were eighteen or nineteen, like...a tireless machine.”
"Perpetual motion machine?"
"almost."
Qi Tongwei fell into deep thought. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that he did feel much better recently.
He has a lot of energy; sometimes, even after a long day of work, he still has plenty of energy when he gets home.
Seeing that Qi Tongwei remained silent, Liang Lu mustered her strength and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Qi Tongwei shook his head. "No, I'm wondering if it's related to a kung fu I've been practicing recently."
"What kind of kung fu?"
"The Vajra Kung Fu was taught to me by several senior military officers from Brother Sha. I heard it's a national-level martial art, and most people don't have access to it."
