London is an international metropolis, with a huge subway system, and it is also the oldest subway system, with a history of more than 100 years, even if the electric locomotive was replaced many years ago, but now there are still many electric locomotives to the point where they need to be replaced, Tang Fei once guessed that the London Underground needs to replace the subway locomotive this time should be about 200 columns.

According to the current international selling price of subway locomotives, plus later maintenance costs and after-sales costs, etc., the total value of the contract should be more than 2 billion pounds, that is, more than 20 billion Chinese dollars.

For any metro manufacturer, this is a huge deal.

The same is true for Jiuzhou Metro Company.

Both Tang Fei and Ma Jianwei attach great importance to the London Underground project, and Ma Jianwei is paying close attention to the progress of the London Underground project according to Tang Fei's instructions.

He got the official update and procurement plan of the London Underground project, and immediately went to Shenhai City, and personally sent the plan to Tang Fei's desk.

Sitting in his boss's chair, Tang Fei took this official version of the plan and looked at it seriously. To Tang Fei's surprise, the London Underground project actually had to replace 280 subway locomotives, far exceeding Tang Fei's original estimate of about 200.

In other words, the order for the London Underground is even larger than originally thought.

In addition to being a little surprised, Tang Fei also knew that the larger the order of the London Underground, the more fierce the competition he would face, Tang Fei's expression gradually became serious, and there was a solemnity in the office.

After a long time, Tang Fei read this plan carefully and carefully, and then said slowly: "Old Ma, what are your plans and plans?"

Ma Jianwei thought for a moment, and then said: "The subway locomotive procurement plan announced by London is larger than we expected, reaching 280 subway locomotives, and it is conceivable that the competition will be more intense. ”

"But no matter what, our Jiuzhou Metro Company will not retreat, we will rise to the challenge, resist the pressure and try to get this order down, and I have decided that I will personally go to London to lead our team to fight on the front line. ”

Tang Fei nodded and said approvingly: "You have such ideas and plans, that's the best, you go to London first, if possible, I will also go there myself." ”

Ma Jianwei said in surprise: "Boss, will you go over in person?"

Tang Fei said: "Yes, this is a super large order of more than 20 billion, which is worth my personal visit." ”

Tang Fei decided to go over in person, so he naturally had his own plans.

The big boss himself went to London in person, not only to cheer up the personnel of Jiuzhou Metro Company, but also to provide some countermeasures and take some measures.

You must know that Tang Fei has the golden finger of the "god-level industrial master" system, and may be able to use this golden finger in the competition for orders from the London Underground.

In the office, Tang Fei and Ma Jianwei chatted for at least more than an hour, and the topic was closely around the London Underground project, and Tang Fei also gave Ma Jianwei some suggestions and opinions.

Ma Jianwei kept these things in mind one by one, and then got up to say goodbye, he will leave Shenhai City immediately, take a plane from Shenhai City International Airport, and fly directly to London, England.

In the next few days, Ma Jianwei's focus is estimated to be in London, and he may only occasionally go back to Qingjiang City, or come to Shenhai City to report to Tang Fei, and most of the time, he will stay in London to supervise the battle until he successfully wins this order.

Tang Fei sent Ma Jianwei to the door of his office, held Ma Jianwei's hand and said, "Old Ma, I wish you success, I am here to wait for your news, if possible, I will go to London to meet you in person." ”

Ma Jianwei said: "Boss, please rest assured, I will report to you every day on the progress of the London Underground project. ”

After bidding farewell to Ma Jianwei, Tang Fei returned to his office, sat on the boss's chair, and thought for a long, long time, until there was a knock on the door, which pulled Tang Fei back from his thoughts.

It was Wang Hailong who knocked on the door and came in.

Obviously, as the general manager of Jiuzhou Industrial Group, Wang Hailong also knows that the boss is paying close attention to the London Underground project, and he is determined to win.

As Tang Fei's right-hand man and confidant, Wang Hailong has also been paying close attention to the London Underground project these days, and even wondering if he can help if there is anything he can do.

He did think of a channel, he remembered that when he was working in the United States, he had a British friend, and the two had a good personal relationship, but in recent years they have been in contact with each other a little less.

It was a British-Chinese, whose Chinese name was Tang Guofu and his English name was Pete, who worked for the City of London, mainly responsible for budgeting and procurement.

Many years ago, the City of London had a procurement project, and it happened that the American company where Wang Hailong was working won the bid, and Wang Hailong and Tang Guofu had a lot of intersections, probably because both of them were Chinese, and they established a good relationship.

Two days ago, Wang Hailong tried to contact Tang Guofu.

I didn't expect the other party to be very enthusiastic, and I chatted with Tang Guofu for a long time on the phone, and I also learned that Tang Guofu still works in the London City Council, and he was promoted this year.

Not long ago, Wang Hailong and Tang Guofu made another phone call, and the two talked about the London Underground project on the phone.

Wang Hailong said bluntly, introduced his new identity, the general manager of Jiuzhou Industrial Group, and also introduced the details of Jiuzhou Metro Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jiuzhou Industrial Group, and also introduced the subway locomotive of Jiuzhou Metro Company.

Tang Guofu expressed great interest.

Wang Hailong took the opportunity to tell Tang Guofu that Jiuzhou Metro Company was full of interest in the London Underground project and was currently making some positive efforts, and asked Tang Guofu if he could help him.

Tang Guofu is a very good person, and he seems to be very enthusiastic, he agreed, as long as he can help, he will try to help, but he also reminded Wang Hailong that others will not play a big role in the matter of the London Underground project.

But no matter what, with Tang Guofu's help, it is finally good news.

Wang Hailong knocked on the door and entered Tang Fei's office and reported the matter to Tang Fei. After listening to Wang Hailong's report, Tang Fei became happy, this is a good sign, the matter has just begun, and there are people in the London City Council who are willing to help.

So, Tang Fei thought for a while and ordered: "Hailong, you take the time to go to London, meet this Tang Guofu in person, and invite others to have a meal to exchange feelings, you haven't seen each other for many years." ”

Wang Hailong nodded and said, "Boss, I also have this meaning." ”

So the next day, Wang Hailong took a plane from Shenhai City directly to London.

…….

The official announcement of the procurement plan for the London Underground project has caused a great stir in the subway locomotive manufacturing industry around the world, and several major underground manufacturers are looking like they are determined to win.

The whole industry is full of gunsmoke.

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.

Several subway manufacturers have sent teams of elite generals, all of whom have arrived in London, and they have begun to contact London through various means and channels.

Soon after Wang Hailong arrived in London, he called back from London and reported to Tang Fei that he had successfully met Tang Guofu, and the two had dinner together, chatted for a long time, and chatted happily.

Wang Hailong also learned a lot of useful information from Tang Guofu, no, Wang Hailong reported to Tang Fei on the phone, "Boss, London is full of tension now, and major subway manufacturers are active. ”

Tang Fei sighed softly, and then said, "I can imagine that the atmosphere is already very tense. ”

Wang Hailong continued to report: "Boss, my meeting with Tang Guofu was very successful, and I am going to call Ma Jianwei as well, meet with Tang Guofu again, and introduce Ma Jianwei to Tang Guofu." ”

Ma Jianwei is also in London, he arrived the day before Wang Hailong, and is actively active and making various efforts, the purpose is to win the London Underground project order.

Tang Fei agreed: "This is a good idea, let Ma Jianwei and Tang Guofu know each other, there are some things that can be directly contacted between the two of them." ”

As the general manager of Jiuzhou Industrial Group, Wang Hailong has a lot of things on his body, and it is impossible for him to stay in London for a long time, so he will stay there for two or three days, and then he will return to Shenhai City.

Next, on the London Subway project, Ma Jianwei can directly contact Tang Guofu, Tang Fei also knows Ma Jianwei very well, and he is also very confident in him.

Ma Jianwei's ability is good, and after he and Tang Guofu get to know each other, he will definitely be able to handle the relationship with Tang Guofu very well.

Wang Hailong reported some of the situation to Tang Fei in detail.

Two days later, Wang Hailong will return from London.

Before Wang Hailong came back, Ma Jianwei called Tang Fei to report the latest situation, and London officially announced that the subway procurement would take the form of international public bidding.

Tang Fei felt a lot more relieved in his heart.

The main factors to be determined by public bidding are the performance, quality, quotation and so on of the subway locomotive, and the influence of other factors is smaller, which is very beneficial to Jiuzhou Industrial Group.

However, Tang Fei did not dare to take it lightly, the adoption of public bidding does not mean that the impact of other factors is almost none, after all, the competition is very fierce this time, and the major subway manufacturers will definitely use all kinds of means.

Ma Jianwei also reported to Tang Fei that the companies participating in the bidding for the London Underground project will submit bids to the London side before the end of this month.

This time can be relatively tight, and it is only about 20 days before the end of this month, Ma Jianwei asked Tang Fei for instructions, and he led the team to produce the tender directly in London and then submit it to London.

Tang Fei agreed, and at the same time told him that he could spend some money and ask some local authorities in London to replace or assist in the production of tenders, which should be more professional, and the tenders produced are estimated to be more suitable for bidding for the London Underground project, and also more suitable for the national conditions and actual conditions of the United Kingdom.

Not long after the London Underground project was decided to take the form of public bidding, a report was published in a well-known newspaper in London, and all of a sudden, almost the eyes of the entire industry were focused on Jiuzhou Metro Company, even London.
