Chapter 386: A Little Sure
seemed to notice Tang Fei's abnormality, Cai Junming said softly with concern: "Mr. Tang, what's wrong?"
Tang Fei said softly: "It's nothing, it's just that I didn't expect to meet a few competitors in the car, obviously, they also came to test ride and experience our subway." ”
These people, although they are all Chinese faces, at first glance I thought they were Chinese, in fact, Tang Fei had seen them, and he had seen them during the last bidding for the subway in Shenhai City, they were Japanese, and they belonged to the Japanese Sanlin Company.
The people of Sanlin Company actually came quietly and actually experienced a test ride on their own subway. A trace of contempt appeared at the corner of Tang Fei's mouth.
I thought to myself, didn't you think that we didn't have the strength to compete with you head-on? Now you actually secretly came to test ride our subway.
The meaning is already very obvious, the Japanese must have felt the pressure, from the heart of the Jiuzhou Metro Company as a competitor, want to sneak a test ride to experience the performance of the little white fox, so as to understand the little white fox.
Anyway, it has not been a few days since the restart of the bid evaluation, and I believe you can't set off any waves. Tang Fei thought so in his heart, and he didn't break these Japanese.
As if he didn't see it, Tang Fei walked past these Japanese, and from this carriage, he went to the next carriage.
Tang Fei not only personally experienced the feeling of riding the little white fox, but also listened carefully to the content of the citizens' conversations, and it can be heard from the conversations between them that everyone generally has a high opinion of the little white fox.
Cai Junmin is the same, very concerned about the reaction of the citizens who take this subway, in his opinion, this is a test ride in advance, because the 18 trains ordered by Changzhou City are basically the same as the little white fox, but the exterior design and interior layout are different, the interior is different, and the core things have not changed.
After the 18 trains are delivered, everyone's riding experience should be similar to the current train. Cai Junmin listened carefully to what the citizens were talking about, and his heart was happy and relieved.
Take a look in each carriage, walk around it, and get a feel for it. When we got to the last carriage, there were a little less people, and there were just a few empty spaces.
Tang Fei said: "Mr. Cai, let's sit down." ”
Cai Junming smiled and said, "I'm just tired of walking." ”
The two sat down in the empty seats, talking and feeling what it was like to ride the subway. Not long after, a suspicious voice rang out.
This is a middle-aged man who asked uncertainly, "You... You are Mr. Cai. ”
Seeing that someone still recognized him, Cai Junmin smiled and admitted: "Yes, I am Cai Junmin." ”
"Oh, it's really Mr. Cai. The middle-aged man was pleasantly surprised, and immediately asked, "Mr. Cai, is this the newly purchased subway in Changzhou City?"
Cai Junmin didn't say "yes" or "no" at first, but asked: "What do you think of this new subway, is it comfortable to ride?"
"It's comfortable, it's so comfortable, I can't even bear to go down. The middle-aged man said with great satisfaction: "I heard that it is still domestic, but I didn't think that we can produce such a good subway in China now, I can't believe it." ”
Another middle-aged aunt next to her said: "Yes, I think it's much better than the subways we imported before, taking the subway like this now, there is a very comfortable feeling, in the process of driving, it is very stable, and the noise is very small." ”
"Yes, yes. ”
Unconsciously, several citizens noticed the situation here, and they all gathered around, agreeing with what the aunt said just now.
Some people also asked: "You are Mr. Cai, how many trains did we buy for such a good subway?"
Cai Junmin said with a smile: "This column is placed in our Line 1 for trial operation, not ordered by us, from today onwards, it is also for everyone to test ride and experience." ”
What, only 1 column, and just a test run.
Many people immediately showed anxious looks, and some people couldn't help but say: "Mr. Cai, such a good subway, we have to hurry up and order it and buy more." ”
Cai Junmin smiled heartily, looked at Tang Fei who was sitting next to him, and then said: "Don't worry, everyone, we have ordered 18 such subways, and the Metro Line 3 that we are about to open will be all such subways." ”
That's pretty much it.
Because I recognized Cai Junmin as the CEO of the Changzhou City Metro Company, many enthusiastic citizens said a word, and I said a word, the content is all praise for the good performance of this subway and the comfortable ride.
It has even been suggested that 18 columns is too good. Line 1 and Line 2 can also purchase some more such subways, and the future Line 4 is also recommended to use all such subways.
It can be seen that for the first test ride, many citizens fell in love with the little white fox, and hoped that all the subway in Changzhou City would adopt a subway locomotive like the little white fox.
Everyone was too enthusiastic, Cai Junmin couldn't help it, so he got off the train at a certain station on the way with a smile.
"Mr. Tang, I didn't think that the reaction of the citizens was so big and the evaluation was so high. ”
His own subway is very popular, Tang Fei smiled happily, "Yes, everyone's enthusiasm is far beyond my expectations, I didn't think about it, the first time I took it, everyone liked it so much." ”
After the first day of the test ride, many citizens of Changzhou City knew about the little white fox, and listened to their friends, colleagues, or neighbors talk about the little white fox, if the ride is comfortable, how smooth the ride is, etc., people who did not take it did not believe it.
As a result, many people flocked to the subway station to experience the feeling of riding the little white fox, so that every trip was full of passengers.
……
Japan's Sanbayashi Metro Company.
Tanaka was listening to the report of his subordinates, and his face was a little gloomy and ugly, because what his subordinates brought back was not good news.
Two days ago, according to his instructions, several of his subordinates rushed to Changzhou City, specially test ride the little white fox, and after coming back, wrote a detailed test ride experience report, and reported everything to Tanaka in person.
"Yaga!"
Tanaka finally slapped the table hard, he had a strong premonition that the subway order in Shenhai City might be gradually moving away from them, and the dark horse of Jiuzhou Metro Company, which was killed halfway, might finally win this order.
No, absolutely not, this order belongs to us. Riki Tanaka thought so in his heart. So, I am also thinking about what countermeasures to take to block the Jiuzhou Metro Company.
After thinking about it for a while, he sadly found that there was not enough time, if Shenhai City postponed the resumption of bidding for another ten days and a half months, maybe he still had some options, but the bidding was imminent, and he was completely helpless.
Now, Tanaka feels like he's shooting himself in the foot.
At the beginning, the fiercest and most demanding was him, Tanaka Li, who not only submitted a written report, but also sent people to Shenhai City, strongly demanding that Shenhai City restart the bidding in advance.
Well, as you wish, then restart the bidding, Shenhai City will restart the bidding the day after tomorrow, that is, November 12th, and now it is November 10th, full of calculations, only two days.
"Yaga!"
Knowing that there was no time at all, and it was too late to take any countermeasures, Tanaka was so angry that he screamed.
Also feeling the pressure are two long-established subway manufacturers, AST in the United States and XMZ in Germany.
Since learning that the first train of little white foxes was in trial operation in Changzhou City, they began to pay formal attention to the dynamics of Jiuzhou Metro Company for the first time.
The two companies felt the pressure after learning that the city had ordered 18 subway locomotives directly from the Jiuzhou Metro without going through a public tender.
They also learned about the test ride of the little white fox, and saw that the citizens of Changzhou City had such a high evaluation, and suddenly, the pressure was unprecedented, and for the first time they regarded Jiuzhou Metro as a strong competitor in their hearts.
However, time did not allow them to take any measures, and soon it was November 12, the day of the resumption of tenders.
Or in the old place, the multi-purpose conference hall of the Shenhai City Government. Last time, the bidding and opening procedures were completed, and the bid evaluation will continue today.
The conference hall is very lively, in order to be completely open and not leave any handle for others, Shenhai City has made a lot of preparations, not only invited more media to come over to witness the bid evaluation, but also invited many citizen representatives to participate, more than last time.
There is still a certain amount of time before the formal evaluation at 9 o'clock in the morning, and many people in the conference hall are chatting and talking easily.
There were a lot of topics about the little white fox.
Shenhai City is originally a neighbor of Changzhou City, and the two big cities are close together, and the exchanges between the two cities are quite convenient.
Many citizens of Shenhai City actually went to Changzhou City and personally took a test ride on the little white fox, no, many of these citizen representatives have taken the little white fox and are chatting there.
"The little white fox is really good, it feels really unusual to ride, and I strongly support it to be the winning bidder of our Deep Sea City. ”
"Yes, I also went to Changzhou City and took a special test ride, and after getting on the bus, I was reluctant to get down. ”
“……”
While the bid evaluation has not yet begun, everyone is talking like this, all the people who have taken the test ride have a high evaluation of the little white fox, and those who have not had the test ride experience for the time being, pricked up their ears to listen, thinking in their hearts, when I have time, I will also go to Changzhou City, to experience it for myself.
There were still about ten minutes before nine o'clock in the morning, and Tang Fei came in person.
After getting out of the car, Tang Fei thought to himself, I don't know what kind of scene it will be when I restart the bid evaluation today. The intensity of the last bidding, the scene full of gunpowder, now in retrospect, is still vivid, deeply imprinted in Tang Fei's mind.
This time, not only Tang Fei came in person, but Ma Jianwei and others also came, and behind Tang Fei, he was also followed by several middle and high-level personnel of Jiuzhou Metro Company.
Tang Fei waved his hand, everyone walked towards the conference hall, and also asked: "Old Ma, how sure are you about this bid evaluation?"
yes, how sure are you?
……
Today's three watches, the second one is sent!
