Chapter 682: Traveling to the United States
It was actually recommended to arrest someone.
actually wanted to arrest the vice president of Jiuzhou Metro Company first.
As soon as such a suggestion was spoken, the whole office fell into a short period of dullness, and after a few seconds, someone finally spoke, and said more cautiously: "It's still not appropriate to arrest people now, wait a few more days, and if it really doesn't work, arrest people at that time." ”
"Well, I also think we can wait a few more days, even if they move around San Francisco, it probably won't have any effect, and the San Francisco Metro Authority still won't buy their subway. ”
Although no one has been arrested for the time being, it is estimated that they will pay closer attention to the movements of more than ten people from Jiuzhou Metro Company in San Francisco.
In the past few days, the people of Jiuzhou Metro Company have indeed done a lot of things.
Accepted the interview of the local media, and promoted the subway locomotive technology of his company, so that many locals know the products of Jiuzhou Metro Company, especially among some local Chinese, many people know that Jiuzhou Metro Company can produce and manufacture the best subway locomotive in the world.
Under the leadership of the vice president, everyone also tried to contact the people of the San Francisco city government, and also wanted to meet with the person in charge of the San Francisco Metro Business Bureau to have some communication.
However, there is a lot of resistance, and there seems to be a pair of invisible hands behind them, and these people seem to be very taboo about the people of Jiuzhou Metro Company and are unwilling to meet with the people of Jiuzhou Metro Company.
Needless to say, the driving force behind it is those American politicians, who are secretly promoting, secretly obstructing the development of things, and do not want the products of Jiuzhou Metro Company to enter the American market, and do not want San Francisco to purchase subway locomotives of Jiuzhou Metro Company.
They spent five days in San Francisco and then took a ride back to China on the sixth day.
After everyone left the hotel, it is estimated that as soon as they got on the plane, a group of American policemen came to the hotel, but they came a little late and pounced, and the plane had taken off and flew to China.
They really want to arrest people, and they just want to arrest the vice president of Jiuzhou Metro Company with an excuse, and they are really used to hegemonism, and they can arrest whoever they want.
……
Deep Sea City.
In the office, Tang Fei was sitting in his office chair, answering a call from Ma Jianwei, and he made a detailed report to Tang Fei.
A few days ago, he sent a team to San Francisco according to Tang Fei's instructions, led by a vice president, and the purpose has basically arrived, and the whole industry knows about it, and even those politicians in the United States know that Jiuzhou Metro Company wants to win the order for the San Francisco subway project.
"Boss, our people have returned from San Francisco, have returned to Qingjiang City, and the basic destination has been reached, but there is a little regret that we have not been able to meet the person in charge of the San Francisco City Government, nor the person in charge of the San Francisco Metro Operation Bureau. ”
Tang Fei nodded slowly, "Everything is in my expectations, if you see them so easily, then things are too simple, it's normal not to see them." ”
Ma Jianwei said: "Boss, but we still have a lot of gains, many local media have reported this matter, and many locals have begun to understand our subway locomotives, which will be of great benefit to our future success in winning the San Francisco subway project." ”
Tang Fei said: "Everyone has worked hard, for the time being, stay put, wait for my orders." ”
"Okay, boss. Ma Jianwei replied.
It's still early for San Francisco to purchase subway locomotives, there is no need to rush, Tang Fei is waiting for an opportunity, as long as the opportunity comes, he will act again.
Soon after answering Ma Jianwei's call, Wang Hailong knocked on the door and came in, and he reported to Tang Fei that Siemens Vehicles Group President Grudy and his party of five people will arrive in Shenhai City tonight, and they want to talk to Tang Fei about the San Francisco subway project tomorrow morning.
Tang Fei thought in his heart, it seems that in the face of a large order of 1 billion US dollars, Grudy couldn't sit still a little bit, and took the initiative to come to the deep sea market to meet him.
After thinking about it for a while, Tang Fei said: "Then it will be arranged at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, in the No. 1 reception room, and I will talk to Grudy about the San Francisco subway project." ”
Grudy and his group of five arrived at Shenhai City International Airport at about 10 p.m. Jiuzhou Industrial Group was more warm and polite, sent people and cars to the airport to greet them, took them to the International Finance Building, and arranged for them to stay in the hotel in the building.
The next day.
In the first meeting room, Grudy and the others were already waiting there, and there were still at least twenty minutes before the scheduled nine o'clock in the morning.
Coming here and waiting so early can be seen how much Grudy cares about the San Francisco subway project, and he wants to have a good talk with Tang Fei in person, especially to ask Tang Fei about his thoughts and plans.
In terms of performance, Jiuzhou Metro Company sent people to San Francisco a few days ago for an event, and it seems that it has also received some results, but there is still a big gap from being shortlisted for the San Francisco subway project.
Grudy even knew that in fact, the United States had excluded Jiuzhou Metro Company from the San Francisco subway project, but it had not been officially announced.
On the surface, Jiuzhou Metro Company seems to be determined to win the San Francisco subway project, but the difficulty is so huge, will Tang Fei unswervingly want to win the order for this project?
With these things in mind, Grudy slowly sipped his coffee.
At nine o'clock in the morning, footsteps sounded outside the No. 1 reception room. Grudy knew that it should be Tang Fei coming, so he quickly put down the coffee in his hand, straightened his tie and suit, and got up to greet him.
His subordinates didn't dare to slack off, and they all stood up one after another, all looking in the direction of the door.
The door of the reception room was gently pushed open, not only Tang Fei came in person, but also followed by Wang Hailong and several people from Jiuzhou Industrial Group, and everyone walked into the No. 1 reception room under the leadership of Tang Fei.
"President Tang, it's a pleasure to see you again. ”
Grudy took the initiative to come over and took the initiative to stretch out his right hand to shake hands with Tang Fei.
Tang Fei warmly shook Grudy's right hand and said in fluent English: "Mr. Grudy, I am also very happy to see you again, and welcome you to Jiuzhou Industrial Group." ”
Everyone was polite to each other, and then sat down on the sofa at Tang Fei's invitation. In the beginning, it was just casual conversation.
After chatting about some inconsequential topics, Grudy began to introduce Tang Fei to the current production and manufacturing situation of the London Underground project, and Tang Fei listened carefully.
The European factories of Siemens Vehicle Group are manufacturing this new subway in large quantities, with a monthly production volume of 20 or 30 columns, and the process is relatively smooth, which makes Tang Fei very satisfied.
At present, the production of dozens of underground locomotives has been completed, and the number is approaching 100, and the number of new underground lines running on the London Underground line is almost one-third.
After listening to the briefing, Tang Fei said with great satisfaction: "Mr. Grudy, you have worked hard, and the production and manufacturing situation is so smooth, I am completely relieved." ”
Grudy said modestly: "No, we are just doing our duty, according to the original agreement, your company provides manufacturing technology, and we are responsible for the production and manufacturing of the subway." ”
After finishing speaking, Grudy changed his words and said: "President Tang, according to the current production and manufacturing speed, the London subway project will be fully produced and manufactured in a few months, and we need new orders, what do you think about the San Francisco subway project." ”
He finally got to the point, which was the main purpose of his journey from Europe.
Tang Fei had already considered the San Francisco subway project, and in the face of Grudy's inquiry, Tang Fei said without concealment: "For the order of the San Francisco subway project, we are determined to win." ”
Receiving such an affirmative answer, Grudy was happy at first, but he couldn't help but be a little worried, and specially reminded: "President Tang, the current situation is like this, it is estimated that some Americans have excluded Jiuzhou Metro Company, and I think it is very difficult for you to win the order for the San Francisco subway project." ”
Tang Fei fully agreed with this point and nodded lightly, "Yes, it is very difficult, but we will not give up, we will make some efforts and have the confidence to finally win this order." ”
Seeing Tang Fei say this, and also expressed good confidence, Grudy thought for a while and said: "President Tang, we are a strategic partnership, since your company wants to win this order, I suggest that we as a consortium to compete for this order." ”
Grudy took the initiative to speak, and Tang Fei glanced at him approvingly.
To be honest, Tang Fei had already thought in his heart that if Siemens Vehicle Group did not want to cooperate with him, he would definitely not be reluctant, and Jiuzhou Metro Company would compete for this order alone.
Since it was Grudy who took the initiative to say it, Tang Fei naturally would not refuse. 1+1 is sometimes really greater than 2, Siemens Vehicles Group is also a long-established subway manufacturer in Europe, Jiuzhou Metro Company and they continue to cooperate, will not suffer, only benefits.
Tang Fei agreed: "Mr. Grudy, I also mean this, if this order is successfully won, these more than 100 subway locomotives will still be produced and manufactured in your company's European factory." ”
Grudy couldn't ask for it.
He immediately agreed: "No problem, as long as your company still provides manufacturing technical information, we can also accept a 28% share, and we will manufacture all these subways as soon as possible and deliver them to San Francisco in our European factory." ”
The two sides talked for almost a morning in Reception Room 1.
Many things were basically negotiated, and Grudy also knew Tang Fei's determination in his heart, although he was still worried about the difficulty of winning this order, but he finally had a small reassurance.
At noon, Tang Fei hosted a banquet to entertain Grudy and his party.
After lunch, Grudy and the others went to Shenhai International Airport and began to return to Europe. On the one hand, we should pay close attention to the production and manufacturing of the subway of the London Underground project, and on the other hand, we will wait for Tang Fei's news.
Tang Fei was waiting for an opportunity.
Two days after Grudy returned, a very good opportunity came.
After reading a few documents and recent business reports, Tang Fei was drinking a cup of hot tea while thinking about the San Francisco subway project.
Wang Hailong knocked on the door and walked into Tang Fei's office.

Today's three watches, the first one is sent!
