"Schmidt, if this kind of high-speed railway is placed between our national capital and Shanghai, the distance of more than 1,200 kilometers can be reached in four or five hours, which is more than ten hours faster than we are now.

Jiang Botao touched the smooth body, and his eyes showed a kind of envy, why doesn't China have this kind of technology?

"Your Excellency Minister, if you need to build a high-speed railway in the future, you can come to us, not to mention building a thousand kilometers, even 5,000 kilometers is no problem, but you have to spend money, a high-speed railway with a distance of 1,000 kilometers will cost 100 billion US dollars!"

Schmidt patted Jiang Botao on the shoulder and said that in his opinion, China will not be able to build a high-speed railway in a short period of time.

Liu Lang laughed in his heart, the country's high-speed rail plan began in the early nineties, and the first railway was not built until the end of the nineties, more than ten years later than the developed countries in the West, but in the next ten years, the country really entered the speed of high-speed rail, and major cities began to build high-speed railways, which left any country behind.

Liu Lang was silent, pretending not to be interested in these technologies, in fact, this is also the case, high-speed railway is not technically difficult, its core is the traction transmission system, to put it bluntly, it can run, and then can stop, of course, the traction transmission system is a system engineering, car body materials, rail materials and power system output power, etc., but these technologies can be completed on the basis of the existing country's industry.

In the previous life, China's high-speed rail development is very rapid, which is inseparable from the national high-speed rail strategy, think about it, when the country tells the world that our country will build tens of thousands of kilometers of high-speed railway in the future, what will the countries with high-speed railways in the world think? It's very simple, they will definitely squeeze their heads to participate, this is tens of thousands of kilometers of high-speed railway, according to the price of 100 million dollars per kilometer, this is a trillion dollars, not to mention trillions of dollars, it is tens of billions of dollars of orders also make Western developed countries crazy.

At that time, among the developed countries, Germany and the island countries had the most mature high-speed rail technology, and China also preferred to choose one of the two countries, but it is difficult to say who to choose.

Germany and the island nations have gone to great lengths to win huge orders, first of all, by attacking their opponents, exaggerating their own skills and belittling them.

In addition to promoting themselves and attacking their opponents, the two countries have also promised various preferential measures, such as building 1,000 kilometers of railways and giving 50 kilometers of ..........

In terms of "conspiracy and trickery", the two countries together cannot compete with China, and the state has put forward requirements, and if it wants to succeed in bidding, it must meet the following requirements, the most important of which is to completely teach the Chinese team of hundreds of people.

It is clear that it is necessary to master the high-speed rail technology, but the other party has no way, this is a conspiracy, you don't agree to get the order, and finally the upright Germans defeated the island people, the country's early high-speed rail is all German technology, they did make a lot of money, but soon China's self-developed high-speed rail technology replaced German technology, blue out of blue and better than blue, most of the tens of thousands of kilometers of high-speed railway are developed and manufactured by the country itself.

This credit goes to the Germans, but it is a bit embarrassing for the Germans.

After visiting the German high-speed railway company, an industry took the train from Frankfurt to Wolfsburg to start the next stop of the visit, but Liu Lang found an excuse not to participate, Schmidt didn't care, he is the chairman of Shengtang Company, of course, he has to deal with his own company's affairs.

Liu Lang and Sun Hu got on the train from Frankfurt and arrived at their destination in just two hours.

At this time, it was already evening, and the two found a hotel to stay, and then found a nearby restaurant for dinner.

The next morning, the two found the CNC company at the address given by Hoffman.

Liu Lang had visited some industrial zones in his previous life, such as Fucheng, there are a large number of factories, the scale is large and small, the larger ones have fifty or sixty workers, and the smaller ones are more than a dozen, of course, the workers are less because of good technology, but the scale is too small, five or six lathes can also be regarded as a small factory, after all, Fucheng belongs to a backward area, the people who do the factory are not to make good products, but to make money to support their families, most of the manufacturing enterprises are very low profits, up to ten percent is good, most of the people who do this line of work are workers, if they are laymen, they will not enter the field of machinery。

Thirty years later, the enterprises in Fucheng Industrial Zone are not so good as the CNC tool manufacturing plant in front of them, this enterprise is not large, covering an area of about five acres of land, almost 4,000 square meters, there are five steel structure workshops, and a three-story office building, although it is three floors, but it adds up to more than 300 square meters, and there are three bungalows, which seem to be the workers' canteen and activity room.

All the buildings are in a uniform blue and white color, which makes people sober, the ground part is made of hard rubber particles, which has a soft feeling when walking on it, and the other part is a cement floor, which can withstand heavy trucks.

In fact, the style of other enterprises near the CNC company is very similar, and they are not very large, and there is no "stupid and simple" appearance of industrial enterprises in terms of appearance.

In fact, "stupid and rough" is the impression of the Chinese on the machinery industry, in fact, in developed countries, mechanical automation has begun to popularize, the era of human control machine tools began to transition to electric control, of course, in many special processes still need to be completed by specialized engineers, the role of people will not disappear, more is to play the role of the finishing touch, a dragon drawn by machinery, the last point has to be done by people, and this is the gap between high-end enterprises and low-end enterprises.

There was a security guard at the door, Liu Lang told the other party to see Hoffman, the other party picked up the phone and asked, and then in less than half a minute, Hoffman ran out of the office building, he had come back early the day before yesterday, and was waiting for Liu Lang.

"Hello Jimmy, come, come to my office!"

Hoffman was very happy to see Liu Lang, because the other party promised to give him a ticket.

"Hoffman, this is your ticket, there are five tickets in total, you can not only bring your girlfriend, but also your girlfriend's parents!"

Liu Lang handed the ticket to the other party.

"Haha, thank you, thank you so much, but I won't invite my girlfriend's parents, but she has a younger sister and younger brother, these two people can think about it!"

Hoffman happily took the ticket, and then pulled Liu Lang to the office.
