Feng Xiaochen has indeed stayed in the UK during this time, and the purpose is to escort the nuclear power negotiations this time. The upper echelons of the nuclear power company have already contacted Feng Xiaochen, hoping that Feng Xiaochen can help at a critical time. As for the real reason for Feng Xiaochen's resignation, the middle and lower-level cadres in the system do not know it well, but the leading cadres are still relatively clear, so they have no concerns about asking Feng Xiaochen to help.

After receiving Feng Lintao's call, Feng Xiaochen immediately went to the hotel where the nuclear power negotiation team was staying to meet with Deng Jingming and Feng Lintao to learn about their negotiations with the Hinkke Point Nuclear Power Plant Project Committee in the previous stage.

"Sanli Steel is also determined to win, and they are very well prepared. Through the acquisition of Weihao Electric, they have obtained the third-generation nuclear power technology of the United States, which is indeed stronger than us in some aspects, except for the actual experience of building the third-generation nuclear power plant, we do not have obvious advantages compared with Sanli in other aspects. ”

After Feng Lintao introduced the technical situation, Deng Jingming summed up to Feng Xiaochen.

"The construction experience itself is also a great advantage. Feng Xiaochen said.

Deng Jingming said: "Sanli is also aware of this problem, and their negotiation team this time specially brought several veteran engineers who have been engaged in the construction of nuclear power plants in the past. These people used to do second-generation nuclear power, but after all, they also have construction experience. When it comes to the experience of the construction of the second generation of nuclear power, we really can't compare with Sanli. ”

"This Uchida Yu is indeed an old treacherous and slippery. Feng Xiaochen commented with a smile.

"Brother, you see, this is the photo we took the last time we met with Sanli's negotiation team. Didn't you say that Yu Uchida is your old rival, you see, his appearance has not changed. Feng Lintao pulled up a photo from his laptop and showed it to Feng Xiaochen. A few days ago, Ruiz called the two teams together for a face-to-face PK, and when the PK was held, the two sides were tense and quarreled very much, but afterwards Uchida Yu took the initiative to invite the Chinese team to take a photo with them, which is roughly a bit of "friendship first, competition second". The photo Feng Lintao took out at this time was taken at that time.

Feng Xiaochen has indeed not seen Uchida Yu for several years, he carefully identified Uchida Yu's appearance on the photo, and said with emotion: "Alas, Uchida Yu is also old. Back then, he was in the prime of life, and he was very energetic and reacted very quickly when negotiating. ”

"He's also very quick to react now. Deng Jingming said, "When we debated with him face-to-face, we were almost caught up in his tricks. However, his physical strength is indeed not as good as that of a young man, and sometimes he will be out of breath when he speaks too quickly. ”

"Yes, the years are urging people to grow old. Well, that's a fun thing......"

Feng Xiaochen stared at the photo for a while, and suddenly had some realization. He smiled slightly and said to Feng Lintao: "Lin Tao, when you meet with Lahrman, remember to bring this photo and find a suitable opportunity to project it on the big screen." I think I might have found a way to convince Ralman. ”

The next day, Larman met with the Chinese delegation in the conference room of the project committee, and Feng Xiaochen, in his capacity as general manager of Chenyu International Investment Company, participated in the meeting. Neither Larman nor Ruiz questioned Feng Xiaochen's identity, they were both Chinese anyway, and since the Chinese delegation claimed that this person was also a member of theirs, what was unacceptable about Larman.

At the beginning of the talks, the Chinese side will first introduce its plan to the British side. In charge of the explanation were several young engineers from the delegation, all of whom graduated from prestigious universities with doctorates, worked in nuclear power companies for several years, and gradually became the backbone of the business. Feng Lintao plays the role of a technical person in charge in this trip, and only when the other party raises some relatively large technical questions, he will answer them, and the rest of the time, it is enough to have these young people to deal with.

Ruiz had listened to these introductions, and while listening, he explained to Larman, mainly relaying some of the key technical concepts mentioned by the Chinese side to Larman in a relatively popular form, and at the same time adding some comments of his own. Larman is a complete rookie in terms of technology, but his IQ is still passable, Ruiz's introduction, he can only understand three or four percent, from the middle of these three or four percent, he can somewhat appreciate some content, know that China's technology is still passable, no wonder Ruiz and other project committee members have a high evaluation of the Chinese side.

After the young engineers introduced the main points of the plan, Feng Lintao made a brief summary, and Deng Jingming made some additions from the perspective of investment and after-sales service, and then everyone turned their attention to Larman, waiting for him to speak.

"Very wonderful introduction, thank you very much!" Larman politely complimented, "China is a great country, and I have deep respect for everyone from China." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Larman, and we have a deep respect for the UK. Deng Jingming responded on behalf of the Chinese side.

"You have just made a detailed introduction to the third generation of nuclear power plant technology that you proposed, and from your introduction, your company's mastery of the third generation nuclear power technology is admirable, and personally, I very much hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with Chinese friends. ”

Ralman said a good word, and then changed his mind and said:

"However, this time, in addition to Chinese friends, there are also friends from Japan who came to London to bid for the Hinkke Point nuclear power plant project. At the end of my meeting with you, I will have a meeting with the people of Sanritsu Steel in Japan, and I am sure that they will also present me with a perfect technical solution. So, the question is, how do I make a choice when both of your solutions are perfect?"

Speaking of this, he spread his hands towards Deng Jingming and Feng Lintao, who were sitting opposite, and made an embarrassed look.

Deng Jingming asked, "Mr. Larman, may I ask you, what do you think is the reason why you have a difficult choice?"

"I want to be able to see the biggest difference between your two programs or between the two companies, and I hope it's a difference that will help me and your whole body to resolve. Larman said.

"As we have just introduced, our solution uses 25 exclusive technology patents, which can effectively improve the safety performance of the reactor, and can also effectively improve the efficiency of nuclear fuel use. Feng Lintao said. When he said this, the young engineer next to him quickly switched the PPT that was playing to the corresponding page, and everyone could see the 25 unique patents that Feng Xiaochen was referring to on the big screen in the conference room.

Larman shook his head and said, "You've already said that. I admit that these patents are outstanding, but as far as I know, there are also a large number of exclusive patents in Sanli Steel's solutions, and this alone does not mean that your technology is more advanced or mature than that of Sanritsu. ”

"Our plan is based on practice, and China is currently building four Generation 3 reactors, which are designed and built by our company. As far as we know, Sanli Steel has no previous experience in building third-generation reactors. Deng Jingming said. This is also an important support for the Chinese side, and before the departure, the senior management of the nuclear power company had discussed that this article may be the most important advantage of the Chinese side over the Japanese side.

Larman still shook his head and said: "I have learned from Mr. Ruiz that you are currently building 4 reactors, but these 4 reactors have not yet been built, let alone run at full capacity, and no one can guarantee whether there will be any problems in the future." Therefore, it is untenable to use this reason to prove that you have an advantage over Sanli Steel. ”

"In addition, our cost is lower than that of Sanli Steel, although I do not know the quotation of Sanli Steel, but based on past experience, the price of equipment in Japan is significantly higher than that in China. Deng Jingming found another reason.

Still, Larman shook his head and said: "A nuclear power plant needs to operate stably for 50 to 70 years, and the quality requirements are much higher than the price requirements, and we will not take risks in the next few decades because of cost savings." ”

"Smack!"

Before Lahrman's words fell, Feng Xiaochen slapped his face. Lahrman looked at Feng Xiaochen in surprise, not knowing what he wanted to do. Feng Xiaochen smiled at Larman, and then made a gesture to Feng Lintao. Feng Lintao greeted the assistant next to him, and the assistant turned over a slide and cast the photo of the Chinese team and the Japanese team that Feng Xiaochen had seen before on the projection screen.

"Mr. Larman, you just said something too good. Feng Xiaochen said, "You said that nuclear power plants need to operate stably for 50 to 70 years, so now please look at this photo, which company do you think is more likely to make the Xinkejiao nuclear power plant run stably for 50 years?"

As soon as these words came out, a room full of people turned their heads to the projection screen and looked at the group photo of the Chinese and Japanese negotiators on it. Lahrman looked at it for a while, turned back in confusion, and asked Feng Xiaochen: "Mr. Feng, I don't understand what you mean, this is just a group photo, I don't see anything related to the stable operation of the nuclear power plant." ”

Feng Xiaochen lit up a laser pointer, pointed at the screen a few times, and said: "My meaning is very simple, Mr. Larman, Mr. Ruiz, you can see how old the average age of Japanese engineers is in this photo, and what is the average age of Chinese engineers." IMHO, 20 years from now, even if the Japanese engineer in this picture is still alive, it will be difficult for him to come back to Point Sinke to help inspect and maintain their equipment, right? But our engineers can work for another 50 years. Mr. Larman asked what the biggest difference between China and Japan is, and I think that age is the biggest difference between the two sides. ”
