This time, the Japanese side sent top engineers on the front line, and Hengdian came with a bidding team, which is basically a member of the R&D team. There are many similarities between this evaluation and the future evaluation, especially IEC experts, contact in advance, understand the personality characteristics, and care about the technology, it is still very meaningful, of course, this itself is a training in the face of the future Beidesert automation evaluation.

As for this test, the stakes are very high, and with the participation of IEC experts, the Electric Power Research Institute can not fall into the pomp, Vice President Hu Haitao personally served as the team leader, Xiong Dalin served as the deputy leader, and invited several relay experts of the Society, as well as the relevant engineers of the Electric Power Research Institute to form a luxurious evaluation team.

If Zhang Yifu is in charge, it may simply be evaluated by IEC experts, because this lineup is all their own people, and Mitsubishi must have a rhetoric when it comes out, but considering political factors and the policy of treating everyone equally in the future, the Electric Power Research Institute should indeed be the host.

One thing that is very interesting is that most of the members of these academic organizations and standardization bodies are not full-time, they are like Changjiang Chen Yanrui, who have their own work and just need to participate in it.

The two experts who came this time, one is an automation engineer from Siemens, and the other is the deputy chief engineer of AES Power Company in the United States. It's clear that it's not so much that they're keen on the development of automation in China, it's that their company is keen on the Chinese market.

Needless to say, AES is really ruthless. The power and electrical industries are relatively very traditional and have a certain monopoly, and most of the companies that can gain a foothold are established enterprises, while AES is different. Although it was only established in '81, it has grown rapidly, and within a decade, it has become the world's largest independent power company, that is, a power company that is not in charge of the power grid, but only specializes in power generation.

The funniest time is when everyone stands together. It's not a difference in height, shortness, fat and thinness, but a difference in age.

Schroeder, an engineer at Siemens, was in his forties, with thick hair and silver-rimmed glasses, and he didn't look very old. AES Deputy Chief Engineer Thomas is even more excessive, only 32 years old!

With these two relatively young gringos supervising the middle-aged and elderly evaluation team, it is really kind of indescribably funny.

What was even more unexpected was that they took the initiative to show friendship to Zhang Yifu, and Schroeder said that he had heard from his colleagues about the trouble of bidding in the Northern Desert. The handling was amazing, and although Siemens did not win the bid, it agreed with the result. Thomas was very curious about Chinese products, because he had the impression that there were very few personal computers here, and he really didn't know how to do microcomputer protection.

Seeing the two of them enthusiastically exchanging business cards with Zhang Yifu, completely ignoring his side, Okamoto was not happy: "Why did the IEC send such two people?"

Oda quickly replied, "It's all invited and voluntary. There is no official assignment from the IEC. ”

"We should be on the invitation list, these two people are so unprofessional. Okamoto cursed.

"Yes. We mentioned to Hengdian to invite experts together, but Hengdian did not agree, they thought that it was already a huge concession to go according to international standards, not Chinese standards. Oda Kiri then persuaded. "It's okay Okamoto, these two people represent their companies at the same time, and they know that we don't have a market for their companies, and China does, so it's understandable that they express some enthusiasm. That doesn't mean they're going to be negligent when it comes to creating. ”

Oda said and secretly pointed to Schroeder: "Especially that one, he is one of the experts who participated in the drafting of this set of international standards, and he can't give up his professional ethics in order to sell a benefit to a private enterprise in China." ”

"I hope so. Okamoto snorted, "People from our company are also involved in the development of standards. This time, I want to make that Zhang Yifu clear that the standard we set is the fundamental gap between his product level. ”

"Yes, as long as you follow international standards, it is impossible to suffer. ”

"After the results are announced, the boot check is proposed at an appropriate time. Okamoto continued, "Although they won't agree, we must mention that if they back down, it means acquiescence." ”

"I'm just afraid, even if I acquiesce, I can't ban the sale of this product. Oda sighed, "If this were in Japan, it would be possible to sue and sanction ......."

"Yes, China is too contemptuous of intellectual property, but it is not without results, so that the IEC people can also clearly see the attitude and professional ethics of Chinese towards intellectual property, and in the later cooperation projects, our advantages are much greater." ”

"You're talking about Northern Desert Automation?"

Okamoto said in a deep voice: "We have made such a big effort, we always have to open up the situation in one aspect, in some way, China's import policy has produced some restrictions, so our current policy has also changed, take the joint venture path they like." ”

"But we and Shenzi are only technical cooperation, not joint ventures?"

"Once you win the bid, you will be there. Okamoto glanced at Zhang Yifu, who was triumphant and fluent in spoken English, he had just learned, "This person is very troublesome, and he is obviously hostile to us as well." Fortunately, he left the government office and cut off his arms, and this time he can't be soft. ”

"Yes, the Chinese cadres with whom we used to have a good relationship have lost power, and Zhang Yifu is indeed on the opposite side of them, that is, our opposite. ”

"You and he have known each other for a long time, haven't you had a PR for so long? Okamoto looked at Oda Kiri, with some dissatisfaction.

"This man...... I didn't have the slightest interest in petty profits and superficial compliments, and when I was in Tokyo, we arranged to go for a night drink, but we didn't go. ”

"What a nuisance. ”

Since no full-time translator was invited, and there was no full-time translator in the Electric Power Research Institute, Zhang Yifu recommended himself at the evaluation kick-off meeting and sat next to the two experts to play a cameo role as a translator.

said it was a translation, but in fact, when Hu Haitao said it for 5 minutes, Zhang Yifu basically summed it up in one sentence.

"He's welcoming you, just smile and be friendly. ”

He was surprised when he introduced the progress of China's microcomputer. ”

He is talking about the demand standards for China's microcomputer protection that are different from those in the world, not because the standards are backward, but because of the objective situation of our power grid, the standards are higher and stricter, and it is good to nod and approve.
