April 2nd, 2026.
In the heart of Beijing, within the towering glass facade of the Ministry of Commerce building. Mr. Wei was being escorted by an aide of the Minister of Commerce to its office.
"Here…Mr Wei," said the aide as she stepped aside and then extended her arm towards the office door marked with the emblem of the Ministry of Commerce. Mr. Chen Wei nodded appreciatively and entered the spacious office where Deputy Minister Liu Chang awaited him.
The office was functional and modern, with a large desk dominating the space, behind which Liu Chang stood up to greet him.
"Mr. Wei, it's good to see you again," he said, extending a hand.
As they settled into their seats, the meeting quickly shifted to business. Liu Chang was direct, asking,
"So, Mr. Wei, to what do I owe the pleasure of meeting the CEO of the JinkoSolar?"
