Chapter 72: Adaptation

"Old Chu, needless to say, it's all for business. Isn't it just a car? New and old points are so important? I'll just make a decision. You can use this new car, and Lao Xie will use the Passat and Accord, put it in the comprehensive office. At least one of our directors wants to go out, and there must be a slightly better car equipped with a storefront. Don't lose too much in front of those wealthy and powerful corporate bosses, right?"

Zhao Guodong waved his hand to stop Chu Hongsheng, who was still trying to speak again, and looked sincere: "Let's say something in my heart. I'm just here, and I'm just touching the business. I have to rely on you for support in many aspects. We have to spend some time as if you were asking for advice and learning. It turns out that Director Zhang's division of labor has not changed. You have to continue to carry out the matter you were in charge. If there is really something you need to do in the process, let's discuss it. Two old brothers, do you think you can?"

After a few days in Beijing, Zhao Guodong learned the Beijing-style tone as well as the perfect Beijing style. He heard Chu Hongsheng and Xie Ke nodded repeatedly.

It seems that Director Zhao is really good. Although he is polite, he is all about the idea. He has to carry the business work on both of them. However, the discussion on the procedures is intriguing. That means that he should make the decision according to the rules, but this is also the truth. Otherwise, the director will become a clay Buddha?

Chu Hongsheng was a little surprised why Xie Ke didn't argue with him about this new Passat this time. Could it be that the person with the surname Xie changed his personality? It's impossible. Most of the person with the surname Xie was thinking about the extraordinary background of Director Zhao, and he was a little bit afraid first and did not dare to have an attack? But then he thought about it, he was a veteran of the Ministry of Social Affairs. If the director of this new car was not used, he should of course be himself. Could it be his turn to Xie Ke?

Xie Ke didn't meet Chu Hongsheng at all. He knew that Chu Hongsheng was afraid that he was very proud at this moment. Look, even Director Zhao took the initiative to give him the new car. Doesn't this show that his surname Chu is better than others?

Xie Ke was very happy inside. Director Zhao was able to take the initiative to find himself to do his job, which means that Director Zhao had seen through the last few days. A little vanity could make him confused and didn't know what his surname was. He didn't think about the joints in this, and it was not ordinary shallow.

"Director Zhao, this is not suitable, right? You are the director, how can you not have a car?..." Chu Hongsheng also pretended to refuse.

"Okay, the one in my family has been abroad and can only come back when they are on vacation for a year. I have to move her car for her normally, otherwise she will be stuck when she comes back." Zhao Guodong interrupted, "Let's talk about the serious business."

"Minister Yang talked to me about the new energy planning. I wonder if you two have any feelings. At present, the senior management has some new ideas about the energy supply composition of my country, especially in the field of new energy and renewable energy. Several leaders of the ministry mentioned the research and development of new energy on several occasions, especially after a series of major breakthroughs in solar photovoltaic power generation systems and wind power generation research, the central government attached great importance to it, so the ministry also intends to combine my country's achievements in solar power generation and wind power generation. In view of the current energy composition of my country, we must do a good job in the planning and development of new energy. It is also a precautionary step forward. Let the stupid bird fly first."

"Director Zhao, solar power generation has made breakthroughs in the research of photovoltaic modules. Single crystal silicon purification and photovoltaic modules are said to have entered the substantial commercialization stage. As for wind power generation, it is also a focus of national research, but this is not a big technical problem in wind power generation. There is one problem in both of them, that is, the problem of grid-connected output." Chu Hongsheng is indeed a veteran, and he said it to the core in one sentence.

"Yes, Lao Chu is right. The key is the grid connection problem. Solar energy and wind energy are green and environmentally friendly energy and are pollution-free. However, an important link that restricts their development is that they are unstable. They do not want water, electricity, thermal, and nuclear power to provide stable and long-lasting supply. This requires huge battery capacity to accommodate backups, and at the same time, they also have quite high requirements for grid technology." Xie Ke is also not unfamiliar with these things.

"Well, I think this is what Lao Xie is in charge of the new energy sector. According to the meaning of the department, our Planning and Development Department must have a clear plan based on the current development trend. I guess the New Energy and Renewable Energy Department is also coming up with a research report on this issue, but they are more about discussing and analyzing it from the perspective of development prospects. Our company needs to come up with a decent article from the perspective of industrial development planning. Lao Xie, I think it is up to you to take care of this matter. Choose two people in the department. In addition, you can find two researchers in this field in the research institute. Within three months, you have to come up with a decent thing."

Xie Ke didn't expect that this would be such a burden for the director to come. He also heard about this, but it should be the New Energy and Renewable Energy Department in charge. How could it suddenly fall into the Planning and Development Department? Later, when Director Zhao said that, he realized that it seemed that the director was also a person with a heart. As soon as the New Energy and Renewable Energy Department took action, he was thinking about how to plan development from an industrial perspective. With this, this person is not simple, but he is closely following the above wind and smell. No wonder he can be the mayor at such a young age.

After thinking about it, Xie Ke did not refuse, but what he should say must be said: "Director Zhao, we have to do this well if we want to do it. Just relying on the roles of our department and the research institute, we may not be able to come up with a general plan that satisfies the leaders. We have to go on, especially if we go through the technical research department and the production company to investigate and understand some development situations on the spot, so that we can be targeted. Three months may be a little tighter, but it is probably possible to be able to do it. Even if the funds are a little relaxed, they may have to go to a lot of places."

"Well, please hurry up and arrange this matter and choose the best soldiers and generals. If it really doesn't work, you can ask for the opinions of some experts and scholars outside our department, listen to their opinions and suggestions on this aspect. If necessary, you can even invite them to participate in this research activity, learn from the strengths of the family, and refer to the development ideas in this aspect of foreign countries." Zhao Guodong waved his hand again, "As for the funding issue, you should check and master it. In order to ensure work needs and be reasonable and moderate, I oppose extravagance and waste, but for these experts and scholars, the necessary specifications and conditions must still be met, and this power will be left to you."

Zhao Guodong's generous and decisiveness made Xie Ke and Chu Hongsheng happy. Although the former director seemed generous, he saw extremely precious in signing and expressing his opinion. Every piece of paper had to be approved by him. How could he be so refreshing and neat like the new director?

"Okay, Director Zhao, don't worry, I will definitely keep a close eye on the use of funds." Xie Ke was both surprised and happy.

"But, Lao Xie, I'm talking about it before. This research report and plan are very meaningful. Don't just hand in hand over that thing in three months. That's not OK. The things taken out by the new energy and renewable energy department are placed in front of our leaders. Which is better or worse? It's clear at a glance. If the face of our department is in the face, I won't agree."

After the surprise, I felt huge pressure immediately. The director took the right to take the position of it and gave himself the candy first. Now I have to say responsibility. But then again, I just don’t give you the right to make financial statements. Don’t you have to do this job? At least the other party has given all the power to himself quite simply, which is quite good.

It is already late autumn in a blink of an eye, and late autumn in the capital is chilly. Early winter is approaching. Compared with Anyuan in the south, you can feel the obvious changes in the seasons.

After a month, Zhao Guodong gradually adapted to his life in the department. Compared to being busy in the local area, his life in the department is indeed much more regular. He goes to and from get off work on time. Although there are many social parties, they are mainly concentrated within the business scope involved.

Zhao Guodong was not pretentious, to see if it was necessary. He still basically maintained a cooperative attitude in the contacts between large enterprises and provincial and municipal offices in Beijing. As Cai Zhengyang said, this is also a process of accumulating connections. Those who can negotiate and do things in the ministry often have a little shock when they kick in the ministry. However, since they come to the ministry, they must be supported in some aspects. The elasticity is also quite large. Without violating the principles, it depends on how you deal with it.

Liu Ruotong seemed to be very at ease staying in Beijing and never returned to Astana, which moved Zhao Guodong a little.

After the last collision of her unit, Zhao Guodong never asked much. With the dual identities of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the military, he naturally could not escape the intelligence collection work. Zhao Guodong only reminded the other party to be careful. Although the Central Asian region is currently weak and China is trying its best to expand its influence in Central Asia, Russia is unwilling to withdraw, and the United States and Europe are also eyeing it, so it is better to be careful.

Zhao Guodong could feel the change he brought to the world, that is, his advice to Cai Zhengyang, who was about to form the Ministry of Energy a few years ago, finally leveraged the direction of this giant ship in the energy industry. While paying attention to energy security, the country finally turned its attention to Central Asia, especially Zhao Guodong's proposal to support state-owned and private enterprises to go abroad and adopt sole proprietorship joint ventures or cooperation methods to enter the upstream. Although there was not much action on private enterprises, state-owned enterprises have already gone out.
