Chapter 72: Flight to SH
When a plane taking off from Tokyo landed on the runway of PD Airport, Kiyofumi Hosokawa suddenly took off his blindfold and looked out of the porthole of the plane with some discomfort.
"President, you're awake!"
"Well, it's a rare good night's sleep! When I woke up, I was in a lot of energy!"
Kiyofumi Hosokawa put the blindfold he had slept in his pocket, arranging his messy hair, and chatting with Joto in a relaxed tone.
Although this trip to SH shouldered the important mission of determining the life and death of the construction of Toshima, Hosokawa Kiyofumi slept soundly on the plane than that day. When he walked out of the VIP passage of the airport, as soon as he went out, a woman with an elegant temperament walked up to him and asked him in proficient Japanese:
"Excuse me...... Are you President Kiyofumi Hosokawa?"
"Oh...... Hey!"
"I was entrusted by the chairman of XX Construction Group to come here to pick you up!"
The other party first bowed politely to Hosokawa, and then hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake Hosokawa. After everyone introduced each other, Hosokawa learned that the lady opposite was surnamed Li and was a receptionist sent by XX Construction Group. After a brief greeting from everyone, Hosokawa and Joto followed each other and walked out of the airport after exchanging words, and then got into the car sent by the other party.
"President Hosokawa, do you have any thoughts about this trip?"
"That...... This time I'm a guest, so it's up to you!"
"Well, do you think this is okay? We'll take you back to the hotel for a while, and then in the evening, the management of our group will arrange a welcome banquet for you. As for tomorrow's trip, we have a railway bridge in KS that is about to close, and we would like to ask you to come and guide you, and after you have a full understanding of our group's technology and strength, we hope to have the opportunity to have a good exchange with you about the possibility of cooperation on the Najd high-speed rail project. ”
After listening to the other party's arrangement, Hosokawa just smiled and nodded, and then stopped expressing any opinions. Although Hosokawa tried his best to promote cooperation with his former rival this time. But before the real negotiations began, Hosokawa didn't want to be too enthusiastic.
As the car sped down the airport expressway, President Hosokawa happened to see a high-speed railway not far from the expressway. After Hosokawa's curious inquiry, he learned that it was the maglev train line that connected the city and the airport. This couldn't help but make Hosokawa a little intrigued. Although this maglev line has been under construction for more than ten years. But Hosokawa was still interested and asked a lot of questions.
"Mr. Hosokawa, do you have any plans to bid for the Chuo Shinkansen?"
"Let's be honest, although we are facing a lot of problems now, we still regard the Chuo Shinkansen as our most important project at present, and we want to win this project with all our might. Although the final effect of this project will not be seen until decades later, it is likely that I will have long since left the position of president by that time. However, I firmly believe that the opening of the Chuo Shinkansen will be a new starting point for leading the next generation of high-speed rail technology......"
……
When the other party sent Hosokawa Kiyofumi and Joto-kun to the Intercontinental Hotel where they stayed, Miss Li, who received them, made an appointment with the two to meet in the evening, and then retired first. Hosokawa and Joto walked into the hotel with their luggage, and then returned to their rooms after checking in. Hosokawa first took a comfortable hot bath, then ordered some food to simply fill his stomach, and continued to study the relevant information of XX Construction Group.
At the reception in the evening, Hosokawa and the other party's senior management pushed the cup and changed the lamp, but no one took the initiative to mention the cooperation. Although Hosokawa also had some worries in his heart, he believed that the other party had invited him from Japan all the way over, and he definitely didn't just want to socialize with him. The other party's heart must also be full of expectations for this cooperation.
"Mr. Hosokawa, we know that your company has a unique reputation in the industry in the construction technology and construction management of high-speed railways, and it just so happens that we have a high-speed railway bridge project in KS tomorrow that is about to be closed, and we would like to ask you to go to the site to have a look, and by the way, we would like to point out our shortcomings. ”
"Oh?ks?"
"It's an economically developed city in JS province, it's not too far from SH, if you take the highway, it won't take you an hour to get there!"
"Oh, then, I'd better be respectful. To be honest, I'd love to know what your construction site looks like!"
Hosokawa raised his glass, smiled and touched the other party, and then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, although the spicy taste of Chinese white wine made Hosokawa feel a little uncomfortable, but he didn't show anything on his face.
When the welcome dinner was over, Hosokawa was sent back to the hotel by the other party. After drinking a lot of liquor, Hosokawa felt very energetic. He sat in front of the hotel's floor-to-ceiling glass windows in his pajamas, his eyes gazing intently at the beautiful night on the Huangpu River at his feet. I couldn't help but feel some emotion in my heart.
If it weren't for the politics of the Najd Kingdom, Toshima Construction might have succeeded in taking the first step towards the internationalization of the high-speed rail construction project, and now the project would have been sold to its former competitors. A rare opportunity for development was missed. Hosokawa couldn't help but feel very sorry for the construction of Toshima.
However, Toshima Construction is not without opportunities, and if it can successfully win the project contracting rights of the Chuo Shinkansen this time, then Toshima Construction will become the first company in the world to master the mature construction technology of superconducting maglev track project. As long as the first phase of this project is successfully completed. Toshima Construction will become the first company in the world to have a successful case of building a superconducting maglev rail transit project. In the future, no matter which country in the world wants to launch the superconducting maglev project, Toshima Construction will be the first enterprise to consider. As long as Toshima Construction can successfully survive until that time, it will become a star leading the world's rail transit construction technology.
Thinking of the broad prospects of the superconducting maglev high-speed railway, Hosokawa Kiyofumi suddenly did not feel that it was a pity to lose the Najd high-speed rail project. In its 200-year business history, Toshima Construction has been surpassed by its opponents more than once, but after each rebirth, Toshima Construction will once again usher in a new era of rapid development.
