Liang Yuan stood on the periphery of the welcoming crowd, like ordinary tourists joining in the fun, watching Qu Zhaoguo, Liang Jiangping, Liang Haiping, and the leaders of Duanli, deputy mayors in charge of the economy of Benxi, and the reception staff of the foreign affairs office of the municipal government, shaking hands with officials of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and railway experts led by the GDR on the platform in turn. When the two sides exchanged greetings, several flashing lights lit up, and the newspaper reporters at the scene pressed the shutter one after another.
In addition to the "Benxi Daily" sponsored by the local government, the reporter of the "People's Railway" newspaper sponsored by the Ministry of Railways in Shengjing Road Bureau also came to the scene.
Although the 7 years of investment promotion are not as crazy as in the 90s, they are also becoming more and more important in the government's work. After the railway overhaul plant entered the summer, the 600 million yuan of equipment moved into the overhaul plant, that is, the grass people did not know, and the leaders of the city were well aware of these things, but because the railway enterprises were relatively closed, they did not deal with the local area, and the city could not figure out the intention of the railway overhaul plant for the time being, so they could only wait and see.
In August, Liang Haiping threw 90 million yuan from the Leipzig exhibition in the GDR and introduced the DBme double-decker bus manufacturing technology, the city could no longer sit still.
The foundation of Benxi is the Liaodong Iron and Steel Plant (Note 1) and the Nantai Iron and Steel Plant, and the whole city is built around these two large enterprises, and after the introduction of the GDR's vehicle production technology from the railway overhaul plant, the city inevitably imagined that the first automobile factory and the Changchun bus factory alone supported the economic scale of Changchun City, the capital of Jilin Province. If the overhaul factory can really restore the glory of the Northeast Locomotive Factory. It is a match made in heaven with Liaogang. At that time, the economic level of Benxi City will be able to rise to a few more levels.
Therefore, after the GDR expert group arrived in Benxi, the city gave a high-level reception, not only sending the deputy mayor in charge to pick up the station, but also holding a banquet in the city government that night to entertain the entire expert group. The local "Benxi Daily" reported on the incident for several days in a row, equating the visit of the GDR experts to Benxi as the aid of Soviet experts to China in the 50s, and regarded it as the second close cooperation between the big socialist families.
In contrast, the Ministry of Railways on this matter is very bland, the ministry's mouthpiece "People's Railway" newspaper also Liang Haiping took the initiative to go to the Road Bureau to invite, Liang Haiping signed a vehicle technology transfer agreement in East Germany, "People's Railway" newspaper published a brief news on the fourth page: GDR railway experts in September to China for technical exchanges, DBme double-decker passenger cars or will settle in the northeast.
The Young Pioneers saluted and presented flowers, and Vice Mayor Qu Zhaoguo and Duan Chief Liang Jiangping delivered brief welcome speeches on behalf of the local government and the railway. After the performance on the stage, a large group of people left the station in a daze.
As early as July, when preparing for the construction of the metallurgical room, Liang Haiping concentrated personnel to completely repair the factory-run guest house, which had been dilapidated for many years, and all the rooms were built according to Liang Yuan's proposal. It has been renovated to resemble an express hotel, and each room is equipped with a TV, refrigerator, and air conditioning fan. Free Chinese and Western breakfast, 24-hour hot water. For the sake of Western-style breakfast, Liang Yuan even asked Liang Haiping to dig a few masters from Shengjing Food Factory.
After the decoration, Liang Haiping once joked: The conditions here are so good, I will move my home to the guest house in the future. If it weren't for the fact that he was building a villa now and building a high-end community, Liang Yuan would have been too lazy to clean up the guest house. Liang Yuan didn't want to put all these East German experts back to provide a first-class environment, treatment, and a stable working atmosphere. It was only in the 90s that when the two Germans were merged, they were able to recruit talent in East Germany, and in the early 90s not all East Germans aspired to a bourgeois life.
Jurgen Christopher put down his satchel and looked around the room for a while, when he was in China, he had heard that the socialist brother in China was very poor, and there was a shortage of materials, and many people could not even eat enough, and there was no sign of poverty in this room, so he opened the refrigerator and piled up all kinds of wine and pastries in the cold room, and a small price tag was attached to each food, and he picked up the book of room service instructions in German on the table and looked at it. Jurgen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it might be much better to work in China than he had thought.
In the evening, a reception was held in the canteen of the city hall, and a delegation of 60 to 70 East German experts and twice the number of escorts filled the reception hall. Liang Yuan had nowhere to forage at night, so he had to be cheeky enough to blend into the crowd and find a marginal area to ignore the strange gazes of the adults at the same table. Shake off your cheeks and feast.
Two days later, the East German expert team was fully engaged. It is clear that the GDR proposed to Liang Yuan. The idea of building a luxury shopping mall in Berlin was very interested, and an executive head of the State Planning and Development Commission also came to Benxi with the delegation.
The talk has been talked about in East Germany, this time the GDR came to review the plan, the renderings produced by professional architects are much stronger than Liang Yuan's tinkering, in terms of architecture, the aesthetics of the whole human being are the same, in the architecture of the East Germany did not find any fault, to the name of the program is a little dissatisfied, the last leader of the GDR, Erich? Honecker was a conservative leader, and he was forced to follow Gorbachev into a new strategy in '86, and senior officials of the German Socialist Unity Party in East Germany knew that Honecker was averse to reform, so he was somewhat resistant to Liang's plan called "change".
During the lunch break, Liang Haiping told Liang Yuan about it, and Liang Yuan was speechless for a long time and said, "Uncle, then let's call it set sail." Liang Yuan remembered that Apple had revealed that the new office building was like a spaceship ready to be launched, "If you are not satisfied, they can modify it." ”
At this time, Liang Yuan never imagined that after the episode of changing the name and the reunification of the two Germanys, the circular building was officially named Change, and the episode of the name change was given countless meanings by the democracy fighters of West Germany, and the building itself became ironclad evidence of the East German people's dissatisfaction with the authorities, and with the integration of the two Germanys, the circular building also became a landmark building in Germany. From the original Chongqing hot pot to the symbol of democracy and freedom, sometimes things in the world are so nonsense.
On September 17, the railway overhaul plant, which has been restored to the former name of the Northeast Locomotive Factory, signed an agreement with the Unified Locomotive Consortium of the GDR on the transfer of technology for the Type 243 electric locomotive, in which the Northeast Locomotive Plant only needs to purchase six Type 243 electric locomotives (one of which is made in China) to obtain all the technical information of the Type 243 locomotive, and at the same time, the Northeast Locomotive Plant will also cooperate with the Unified Locomotive Consortium to develop more advanced electric locomotives on the basis of the Type 243 electric locomotive. As a complement to the agreement, the railway collective will invest 360 million yuan in Berlin, the capital of East Germany, to build a large shopping center and set up a large chain retail enterprise.
Liang Yuan looked at the agreement in front of him and said with a smile: "Uncle, this time the nose and bottom of the car are available, and the product line on your side is complete for the time being." ”
"You really dare to shout, Wusong Design Institute has made a budget of 120 million yuan, and you can directly double it and report it, this is simply ......"
Liang Yuan said with a smile: "Uncle, if I wasn't afraid that the movement would be too big, I would like to report 1.2 billion, don't worry, the government likes investors like us the most, how much morale is boosted." ”
"Xiaoyuan, this time the 243 electric locomotive head has also been introduced, where do you plan to use it, there is not even an inch of electrified railway in the entire Northeast, do you really plan to sell it to the Chengdu Road Bureau?"
"Uncle, of the five heads I bought, one was sent to the ministry's ring line for performance testing, and the remaining four were sent to the Chengdu Road Bureau after the completion of the electrification transformation of the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway this year."
"Give it to Chengdu Road Bureau" Liang Haiping's voice raised, "We spent more than 400 million yuan on these six heads of Xiaoyuan."
"Uncle, just now you said that the price I reported to the GDR was inflated, how could you also include the water," Liang Yuan said with a smile
"Even according to the cost, the investment of four heads and shopping malls is 160 million"
"Uncle, we can't compare to the Zhuzhou Locomotive Factory that produces the SS (Note 2) series of electric locomotives, SS is a son, the Type 243 is not even an illegitimate child, Dingtian is a nephew, and the Type 243 can be tested by the Ministry of Railways along the lì Tong Guò Loop Line I am content. ”
"After the completion of the transformation of the Chengdu-Chongqing line, the passenger transport will definitely have to go to the SS2 or SS3 nose of the Zhuzhou factory. ”
Liang Yuan was too familiar with the monopoly style of the Ministry of Railways, and one of the people who were often scolded by the people in China in later generations was the Ministry of Education, and the other was the Ministry of Railways. Although the Ministry of Railways has also carried out a lot of reforms in 87, the power of the local road bureau has increased greatly, and the annual locomotive and vehicle procurement have also adopted the bidding method, but if Liang Yuan does not know how to compete with the SS series locomotive head of Zhuzhou Locomotive Factory, the ministry will pull the bias frame that is certain, and he may not even know how to die when he is stumped.
The 243 type locomotive was sent to the Chengdu Road Bureau in the name of testing, and no one could say anything else, and Liang Yuan's understanding of the SS series electric locomotive was not mature until the later models of the SS4 type, and the failure rate of the early models of SS2, SS3 and SS4 has always been miserable, and the stability of the 243 type head is enough to get rid of the SS series eight streets. Liang Yuan plans to use the stability of the 243 type head to conquer the hearts of the local road bureau, and promote the nose of the Northeast Locomotive Factory from the bottom up.
Liang Yuan explained these things to Liang Haiping one by one. Liang Haiping smacked his lips after hearing this and said, "The big collective just doesn't invite people to see it." Liang Yuanxin said that if there was no railway collective, it would be a dream to produce the nose and bottom of the locomotive.
"Xiaoyuan, there is also a 243 nose produced by ourselves, what are you going to do" Liang Haiping asked curiously
Liang Yuan stood up on the sofa, walked around the office a few times and said, "Uncle, this nose is our future." ”
Looking at Liang Haiping's puzzled gaze, Liang Yuan continued: "Uncle, in fact, I spent such a big circle to introduce the 243 type nose mainly for four things, one is the bogie of the 243 nose, one is the air spring, and the other is the locomotive's control system, and the last one is to get involved with West Germany through this locomotive, and plot the ultimate goal I told you: the Deutsche Bahn 120 electric locomotive." ”
Note 1: In order to avoid trouble, some large well-known enterprises may have to replace them with a random name, and everyone will make up their brains in the future.
Note 2: The SS series head is the Shaoshan series (to be continued......)
