Zhang Yuanyuan will follow up on the application for the ISDN line, and the problems of the Aoshikai Group will be handed over to the little uncle, and Hong Tao has neither the energy nor the time to do these things. After taking three foreign experts to eat steamed buns and fried liver at Yinding Qiaotou early the next morning, the www.biquge.info had to drive to the satellite station. If your prediction is correct, someone will definitely be staring at the time of your station today, as long as it is not earlier than Lin Qiang, the gossip will inevitably have to be said.

Not to mention the Hong Tao thief, he used the rhetoric of queuing up early to force the three foreign experts to get up early, and then used the messy environment in the breakfast shop to force them to eat hastily, so that Hong Tao took advantage of the situation to pull up the station. At this time, there were still forty minutes before nine o'clock, and it was even more than ten minutes earlier than the car that sent the project team to the station.

"Will there be a reward for working in the morning?" O'Connor was very observant, she could see that Hong Tao was deliberately working in the morning, but she didn't know the real intention, so she naturally thought of money.

"How to put it, according to our Chinese custom, employees should not go to work later than the leader, which is a kind of respect for rights. You can not follow this rule, but I have to follow it, so you have to wake up early with me. Because we are a community of interests, my free tour guide belongs to the help of friends, and you should also give something back to your friends, which is very fair. O'Connor's careful thinking was seen through by O'Connor, but Hong Tao didn't feel embarrassed at all, but said it like O'Connor owed him.

"I think it's fair, Mr. Hong's grandmother's dumplings are delicious, I can also send free e-mails to his home at his Internet café, and he promised to take me to the largest computer market in Beijing, it's worth waking up half an hour early, Akyol, what do you say?" Marx understood the conversation between O'Connor and Hong Tao, and was the first to express his opinion.

"If you can still eat meat rolls at noon, I don't think it's okay to wake up a little bit early. "Akyol's position is very cheap, and the shredded pork with Kyoto sauce is sufficient.

"You're not like a technician, you're more like company management...... Or rather, politicians. If you could bring it up to us directly, I think we'd be happier to accept. O'Connor has a higher opinion of Hong Tao, although her words are not praised, and can be listened to as praise.

"No, no, no, you are guests, you have to follow the customs. As you often say, when you are in Rome, you should act like a Roman. Among Chinese, many things cannot be said explicitly, which hurts feelings. You must see with your eyes, think with your brain, and experience with your soul, but you can't speak with your mouth. ”

Hong Tao's mouth is not even forgiving Chinese, let alone meeting foreigners, and it is resolutely not permissible for foreigners to accuse themselves of misconduct, even if they are really wrong, they must find reasons to make themselves right. What is the reason? The idiom of following the local customs is too apt, and there are proverbs in English that have similar meanings, which can make Hong Tao stand still.

"Why are you different from others, they are very tolerant and willing to respect our habits, don't you think it's rude to do this?" O'Connor's personality is a bit like Sun Lili, she cares a lot about the victory or defeat of her mouth, and she is unwilling to let Hong Tao have the upper hand, and she is ready to be unreasonable.

"In fact, they are discriminating against you, and the premise of equality is mutual respect. Would you be happy if one day I went to Marx's house and forcibly demanded that Marx entertain me according to the rules of China?" Among the three people, O'Connor was the most talkative and sharp-tongued, and Marx did not like to talk the least, so Hong Tao had to pull him in and let him go against O'Connor.

"Of course not, but I can entertain you with a white sausage beer from Munich. Marx was not as bad as Hong Tao, or he didn't think about these things at all, he replied casually with the thick equipment information, and went directly to the box where the equipment was installed, no longer listening to Hong Tao and O'Connor's words.

"You see, both Marx and Akyol respected my decision......" Hong Tao's purpose was achieved, and he smiled lewdly. With this conversation, I can always let them come half an hour early in the next few days, and they can no longer use the reason of working hours to perfunctory themselves, which is the point.

"If you go to my hometown one day, will I be able to treat you like this!" O'Connor was betrayed by his companions, and the sale was still very clean, knowing that Hong Tao was playing tricks, but he just didn't have a way, and he was really a little angry.

"Of course, even if you let me get up in the middle of the night for breakfast, I don't have a problem, hehehe......" Hong Tao didn't think that he would go to Melbourne as a guest in his lifetime, even if he really went to travel, there was a travel agency to arrange the itinerary, and he would not bother O'Connor, so he answered very simply.

"I'll remember that!" It is estimated that O'Connor was thinking about the same as Zhang Yuanyuan at this time, and she wanted to kick the smiling thing in front of her.

From today, the equipment has entered the actual installation stage, to be honest, it is really boring, especially with the German engineers to work, it must be boring and boring. These Germans don't laugh, they don't lazy, they don't rush to work, they don't have enthusiasm or passion, they are always in rhythm like robots.

The most uncomfortable thing is that they are outrageously rigid, and even Akyol, who seems most likely to be unserious, becomes merciless, and he distributes each screw one by one according to the model and the manual, and then stares at you to tighten it with a special wrench.

Why is German equipment expensive, Hong Tao understands, in addition to high quality and precision, they are simply forced to buy and sell. Each box contains a set of power tools, a set of hand tools, a set of measuring tools and a set of labor protection equipment. As long as it can be used on this set of equipment, even if it is only used once, there must be a special tool.

And this set of tools and this set of equipment are numbered one-to-one, that is to say, the tool number 10007 must not be used on the equipment numbered 10008, even if the two sets of equipment are exactly the same.

A person with a loose personality like Hong Tao is not used to working with German engineers, but he has to work closely behind his ass as a translator for them. In fact, instead of him translating, Marx and Akyol usually communicate with O'Connor first, and then O'Connor whispers to Hong Tao, so that Hong Tao can not face those English sandwiched with German and particularly professional words, which can be regarded as a free tour guide and warm hospitality in return for Hong Tao. Whoever said that Europeans don't talk about human feelings, they don't pop out of the cracks in the stones.

"This Nima is money, just these sets of tools and gloves or something will cost eighteen thousand yuan, right? It has to be dollars!" When the translator does not occupy too many resources in Hong Taozui, he still has spare time and Lin Qiang muttered a few words.

"There is no way, there have been precedents of domestic screws for imported equipment eventually failing, and there have been more than one time. It's not specific to us, as is the case with the big machine companies, but the Germans are more serious. Do you want to try it? I'm afraid you're still using this wrench for the first time, right?"

Lin Qiang does not hold a grudge against Hong Tao for coaxing foreign experts to be comfortable, he is the person in charge of the project team, as long as the equipment installation is successfully completed, it is a great achievement in itself, and no one can erase the credit. The better the cooperation of foreign experts, the better it is for him, this truth is still understood, so the attitude towards Hong Tao is still as grateful as before.

"Then I'll try!" said that Hong Tao was not interested in anything else, and trying new tools really made him excited.

This wrench is weird, a bit like a socket wrench, but with a small gauge in the middle of the handle. It's a counter, set the number on it to five, and the wrench will fix the screw and turn it five times, and then the bite teeth inside will be released, even if you continue to rotate, you can't twist the screw, it's just idling.

What's the use of this design? It's basically useless in China, who Nima screws and calculates the number of turns, it all depends on the feel, people with greater strength will twist six turns, and people with smaller strength will twist four and a half turns, what does this matter? Besides, even if you want to calculate the number of screw turns, it is impossible to achieve it, because the buckle and screws are not so fine, and who cares if there are more than half a circle or less half a circle.

But the rigid Germans believed that the screws on the machine had to calculate various parameters and then fix them with the most appropriate force. The manual will take the trouble to indicate the number of turns corresponding to each screw, and this special wrench is specially designed to make you want to twist more than half a turn. Of course, if it weren't for Marx and the three of them, the project team would definitely use ordinary wrenches to tighten these screws, and maybe they would have been able to use them for more than ten years without failure.

In any case, the reason why German machinery and equipment, especially precision instruments, are famous all over the world is largely related to their culture. According to Marx's explanation, there are many small factories in Germany, and they have only made one thing for generations, such as the famous German knives, and many of these brands are produced in small family factories. They only make one kind of knife for several lifetimes, not asking how much they can sell, only that each knife sold will not be returned by the customer.

This theory will not work in China, if a kitchen knife can be used for decades, the kitchen knife factory will not go out of business? But the Germans just made their factory bigger little by little, the grandfather took a small step, the father followed, the father arched forward, the son followed, and for decades or hundreds of years focused on the manufacture of one kind of equipment, and kept improving to the point of no return.

Then instead of closing down, other people's factories became the world's No. 1, making money softly. And our factory keeps changing its thinking with the trend, doing whatever makes money, and in the end there is no good product, not only did it not make money, but it went out of business.

Hong Tao hasn't had time to think about the principle of this, but he plans to travel around the world to see how others live and work when he has the opportunity in the future, and then he can go back and judge what is right and what is wrong, or whether both are right.
