Chapter 416 I don't understand

"Mr. Sanjing, Mr. Iwasaki, please try Tan's cuisine. Tan's cuisine is also known as the official cuisine of the Qing Dynasty. It uses fine ingredients, is elaborately prepared, and tastes unparalleled."

Wang Deming was the first to pick up his chopsticks and introduced them to Mitsui Fujibana and Iwasaki Kogoro.

Mitsui and Iwasaki both came to China as part of the Sino-Japanese trade team and stayed at the Beijing Hotel.

After the signing of the China-Japan Trade Agreement in mid-February, they remained in China.

The reason they stayed in China was because it was the 2nd Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee, the 5th CPPCC Conference, and the 5th National People's Congress. They were also waiting
"Swoosh, Mr. Wang, the taste is really first-rate. The shark fin is fresh, moist, smooth and glutinous."

"Yes, the original flavor of the seafood is preserved without any fishy smell. The cooking method is indeed superb."

In addition to Wang Deming, there were other comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at this table. After Chief Fang took office as Deputy Chief of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Trade was completely buried in the pile of old papers.

"Mr. Mitsui, Mr. Iwasaki," Wang Deming smiled and raised his glass: "For the future of our Sino-Japanese trade cooperation, let's each drink another glass."

The wine is rice wine, which is not strong and has a soft taste, making it very suitable for foreigners.

"thanks for treatment."

Mitsui and Iwasaki are both scion of Japanese conglomerate families, and their external etiquette is impeccable.

At the dinner table, people often talk about the fact that China and Japan are close neighbors and friendly neighbors.

Especially when it comes to cooperation on large fertilizer projects, they have made bold statements that as long as China needs their cooperation, they will respond at the first opportunity and will definitely help China complete the large fertilizer project as soon as possible.

"Wang Sang, after the China-Japan trade agreement is signed, your country will export more oil to us. Is the refinery in Beijing going to be expanded a second time?"

"In addition, I heard that your country is going to build a new steel plant in the country. We, Nippon Steel, can provide low-interest loans, a full set of technology for free, and related complete sets of equipment."

Wang Deming glanced at the rice wine in their glasses. It seemed that they could drink quite a lot. They were not drunk at all after such a long time. Isn't it said that rice wine has a strong aftertaste?
Why haven't you taken down these two Japanese devils yet?
The large fertilizer project is dragging on, so we are thinking about other national projects.
They are well-informed. Who told them?
Wang Deming glanced at the faces of several translators and accompanying personnel from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the dinner table and smiled: "Ms. Mitsui, Mr. Iwasaki, it's very hard for us to cooperate with you."

Wang Deming played with the celadon wine glass in his hand, "You know, our friends in the United States, France, and the Netherlands are very supportive of our large-scale fertilizer project."

"We have promised that all projects will be put into production this year, but you have made it difficult for us to deal with the large fertilizer project in Sichuan. You know, the large fertilizer plants in Cangzhou, Liaohe and Daqing have already started trial production, and the one in Sichuan..."

He shook his head regretfully. "Of course, you two are talking about the major projects in our 10-year economic development plan. The investment in each project is 5 million US dollars."

"But you two should know the energy I can mobilize, right?"

"It's empty talk."

He smiled and poured drinks for Mitsui and Iwasaki.

When Wang Deming was speaking, the accompanying personnel from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs kept winking at him, suggesting that he should not say anything too extreme. The reason why Wang Deming was angry was that he heard a piece of news related to Japan, that the higher-ups had approved a meeting to sign a peace and friendship treaty with Japan.

Mitsui and Iwasaki looked at each other and spoke in a gibberish. Then, they both stood up solemnly and bowed deeply to Wang Deming. "Wang, it's our mistake."

"We will go back and arrange the follow-up project equipment and send more technicians. We will definitely put the large fertilizer equipment in Sichuan into production before the end of this year."

"Haha, good!" Wang Deming sat upright, clapping his hands and laughing.

The accompanying personnel from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs looked at him with a different look.
There is no other reason. Even the leaders would not be so grand when meeting the Japanese.

Mitsui and Iwasaki acted quickly and contacted their families in China immediately after the dinner. Soon, supporting equipment for the Sichuan large fertilizer project began to be shipped from Japan and transported to Sichuan via the Yangtze River.

What Wang Deming said is correct. Five large fertilizer projects with the United States and the Netherlands as suppliers have been put into production, and one large fertilizer project with France as a supplier has also been put into production.
The country's six large fertilizer factories alone are able to produce 180 million tons of synthetic ammonia and 300 million tons of urea each year.

You should know that the domestic urea production in the previous year was only less than 100 million tons.

Our country introduced fertilizer technology and equipment from France and Britain in 62. One fertilizer plant could only produce 5 tons of urea a year. Although the country expanded more than a dozen fertilizer plants by 72, the annual output still could not meet domestic agricultural production.

All veteran farmers know one thing: the success of crops depends entirely on fertilizer. Without chemical fertilizers, only relying on compost, the yield of one acre of land can reach 500 kilograms.

After having dinner with the Japanese, Wang Deming immediately made an appointment to meet with the Americans.

The Americans' attitude was better. When Wang Deming said that he wanted to speed up the construction of the fertilizer plant, the Americans patted their chests and assured him.

Wang Deming asked curiously the reason, and the Americans were frank, saying that we have established diplomatic relations soon and also invited our leaders to visit the United States.

When Wang Deming left Beijing for Yueyang, Hunan, to keep a close eye on the construction of the Dongting Lake fertilizer plant, many Japanese political parties, such as Asuka of the Socialist Party and Yano of the Civic Party, came to Beijing one after another.

In March, the National Science Conference was held, emphasizing that science and technology are productive forces and that mental workers serving socialism are part of the working people.

Also, one more thing, Bruce Lee’s “Game of Death” was released.

It’s only because of Wang Deming’s intervention that Bruce Lee is still alive and well.

What Wang Deming found most interesting was that at that time, mainland cinemas were still showing mainstream movies, but each major department had an internal screening room.

With Wang Deming's help, Li Hanxiang communicated with the cultural departments in mainland China. He later joked to Wang Deming: "I thought only the comrades in the Ministry of Culture had watched the movies I shot.

I didn’t expect that so many government departments have watched my movies, oh, and their families as well.

And he even praised my Qing Dynasty palace movies "A Generation of Demon Empress" and "The Falling Beauty" series of movies in front of me for being particularly well shot."
