The next day, Charley and his party left the small town of Worden and arrived in Düsseldorf under the escort of German special forces. The city is North Rhine-Westpha. The capital of the canton of London, it is the center of Germany's advertising, clothing and communications industries, as well as the logistics center of Europe. However, the Germans did not bring Charlei to this place to see the clothing exhibition, because a German military industrial complex is located here.

This military-industrial complex is Rheinmetall.

Rheinmetall manufactures tanks, combat vehicles and shipborne artillery for Germany. It stands for European precision manufacturing, state-of-the-art forging technology and artillery technology. The artillery produced by this company is popular in Europe and the United States, and even the two main battle tanks of the United States, the M1A1 and M1A2, are also used by this company.

Although China's military industry has invested a lot and there are many works that can be used, it has not been able to produce artillery comparable to Rheinmetall. For example, due to the limitations of forging technology, Huaguo's latest Type 99 tank does not shoot well at the turret inclination angle, and cannot reach the 40-45 degree full angle like Rheinmetall. This also led to the lack of a reduced defense and an inadequate fire control system.

China's military industry was very eager to acquire Rheinmetall's technology, but it never succeeded. Rheinmetall can be said to be one of the hegemons of the world's military industry, and its technology and experience are actually directly proportional to his arrogance. The company has never worked with any company in China, let alone transferred their technology.

Only the Reimaa Military Factory is an exception, and now Xia Lei represents the military industry of Huaguo.

When he found out that he had come to Rheinmetall, Xia Lei was actually very surprised, because he had guessed that it was the German company HK, after all, that company also produces light weapons, has a ready-made production line for small arms, and has relevant experience. However, in the end, it was this heavy military industrial complex.

HK and Rheinmetall are actually like the Reimaa Military Factory and Shenzhou Industrial Group, the former is small, and the latter is a behemoth. In fact, it is not difficult to see from the fact that the Germans will choose Rheinmetall as a company, and it is not difficult to see that the Germans attach great importance to this matter. The Germans have put the deal at a very high level, with a strategic nature.

After several security checks, Charley and his party entered an office building in Rheinmetall and were placed in a reception room to wait. The staff of the Rheinland Company made a few cups of coffee, told Xia Lei and the others not to move around casually, and then left.

A cup of coffee was almost finished, but no one came to meet him.

"The leader of this company is really not small, we have been waiting here for so long, and they don't have a person in charge to meet, what is this?" Tang Yuyan was a little unhappy, "Lei Zi, do you think they will deliberately show us a look, so as to achieve any purpose?" ”

"Europeans are prejudiced against us, and they won't easily admit the success of our going. Many Europeans have a sense of superiority over us Chinese, although it is not to the level of racial discrimination, but it is also a little interesting. So, what you said, I think it's possible. But don't worry, we do our thing, just let them be arrogant. ”

Tang Yuyan smiled, "It's really interesting for you to talk." ”

"What do you want to say?" Xia Lei asked.

"You're like my grandfather." Tang Yuyan said.

Xia Lei just laughed and didn't say anything more. Tang Yuyan always found something to tell him, but in front of Long Bing and Anina, he couldn't tell her more.

At this time, Liu Zhengnan's mobile phone rang, he took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, then got up and said, "Xia Dong, it's Sergei's call, do you want to answer it?" ”

Xia Lei said: "No. That friend of yours is really talented, and his proposal is very good. I also believe in your vision, so I will leave this matter to you to be responsible. Whatever your friend needs, you give him. And he, just give me what I want. ”

"Thank you Xia Dong, then I'll go out and answer his call." Yoo walked out of the reception room.

Tang Yuyan said: "You just believe in him like that? Aren't you afraid that he will collude with that German architect to cheat you out of your money? ”

Xia Lei smiled, "I believe in my vision, he is not that kind of person. ”

"What kind of person am I in your eyes?" Tang Yuyan looked at Xia Lei directly.

Long Bing and Anina's eyes both moved to Tang Yuyan's face.

Xia Lei was also stunned, he didn't expect Tang Yuyan to ask such a question at this time, and in front of Long Bing and Anina. Actually, he didn't really care how Anina would feel, but Long Bing was different, he cared a lot about Long Bing's feelings.

The atmosphere in the reception room suddenly became awkward and ambiguous.

"Why are you speechless?" Tang Yuyan glanced at Long Bing out of the corner of her eye. She was able to show the gemstone necklace that Xia Lei had given her in front of Shentu Tianyin, and now asking Xia Lei such a question in front of Long Bing was a piece of cake.

"Hmm." After a short silence, Xia Lei said: "You are a pure person, a person who has escaped vulgar tastes. ”

Tang Yuyan looked at Xia Lei speechlessly, her teeth itching, as if she had bitten Xia Lei.

"Puff......" Long Bing laughed.

At this moment a blonde German walked in, and Charley was no stranger to him, as he was Joseph.

"Joseph!" Anina said with some surprise, "Why are you here?" ”

"I was commissioned by the German government to carry out the inspection and acceptance work," says Joseph. I will be with you all the time you are in Rheinmetall until you leave. ”

Xia Lei's brows suddenly furrowed. Until now, Rheinmetall had not had a single person in charge come to take a picture, but it had sent an overseer like Joseph. He had no feeling for the arrogance of the Germans just now, but now he couldn't help but get angry, and he said in German: "I say, what do you mean? We came from Huaguo, representing Huaguo, and you received us like this? Who is in charge, shouldn't he come and meet with us? ”

Joseph said lightly: "Mr. Xia, I received you, do you have any dissatisfaction?" Or do you think I'm not qualified to host you? Why don't I give our Prime Minister a call and ask her to receive you? ”

Anina said, "Joseph, how can you talk to Mr. Xia like this? ”

Joseph said: "Anina, I really don't understand why you would follow a Chinese, you are German, but you work for Chinese. Perhaps, it's not just work. ”

Anina was also angry, "Joseph, what do you mean?" You weren't like this when you were in China, what's wrong with you? ”

Joseph has an attitude in China, although he is not respectful, but there is still a minimum of politeness, but now he does not even have the most basic politeness.

Xia Lei secretly said in his heart: "At the beginning, when I was in Germany, Joseph looked at me coldly, and even looked for a boxer to snuggle me. Now that he's got that attitude again, does he already know that I'm the same Lucas? If so, he probably got some kind of information from some source. ”

If Joseph was sure that Xia Lei was the Lucas at the beginning, he would suspect that Xia Lei stole the technology of his smart machine tool, and Xia Lei also took away the woman he had a crush on, Anina, just with these two things, he was already very restrained without taking a knife to cut Xia Lei, how could he still have a good face for Xia Lei?

This speculation about Joseph also made Xia Lei faintly worried, because once Joseph played an important role in this transaction, Joseph would definitely put up obstacles of one kind or another. And this deal is so important to Huaguo.

"What do I mean?" Joseph looked at Xia Lei with an unfriendly look in his eyes, "He should know!" ”

On another occasion, Xia Lei would definitely not be polite to Joseph, but this time he held back, he smiled, "Mr. Joseph, you are the top electrical engineer in Germany, it is very appropriate for you to receive us, we have no opinion." ”

Lu ...... Mr. Xia ......" Anina hurriedly changed her words.

Xia Lei gave Anina a look and interrupted her, "Anina, it's okay, don't worry about this. ”

Anina kept her mouth shut, she was very unhappy with Joseph, but she always listened to Charleigh. Charley told her to lie down, and she would lie down. Let her lie on her stomach and she will be on her stomach. Let her kneel, and she will kneel.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Joseph's mouth, "I don't know if I should call you Lucas, or Mr. Xia, you Chinese people are very cunning, and sometimes even your identity is incomprehensible." ”

Xia Lei was not angry at all, he smiled, "My surname is Xia, you can call me Xia Lei, or you can call me Mr. Xia." It depends on your wishes, Mr. Joseph. Whatever you call me, though, I'm glad to do it. ”

"Hmph." Joseph snorted softly, "You come with me, it's just you, the others have to stay here." ”

Xia Lei asked, "Where are you taking me?" ”

Josephus said, "Didn't you say that you should have a steward to receive you?" I'll take you to him now. ”

When the German engineering team went to China, it was received by Ling Hao in person, which was beyond the specifications and sincere. Xia Lei came to Germany, but the situation was reversed, it was actually received by a small electrical engineer like Joseph, and even the person who went to see the manager was Xia Lei who asked to see the other party, not the other party came to meet in person. Europe's arrogance toward China can be seen.

In the face of such arrogance, if it was for himself, Xia Lei would have had enough, but for the sake of the country and the production line of the Typhoon fighter engine, he still chose to forbear. He shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "Well, Mr. Joseph, please lead the way." ”

Joseph didn't even say anything to Charleigh, and before leaving, he said to Anina, "Anina, we have to have a good talk." ”

Anina said angrily: "Joseph, we have nothing to talk about, not now, and not in the future. ”

"You ......," Joseph was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Xia Lei said: "You wait for me here, and I will come back when I go." ”

Long Bing and Tang Yuyan nodded together.

"Mr. Xia, come with me, and I have to remind you that the person you are going to meet is Mr. Mark Amin, CEO of Rheinmetall, he is a very clean person, and when you enter his office, you have to clean your shoes, including the soles." Joseph said.

Xia Lei smiled happily, "No problem." ”

But at this moment, Anina suddenly took out a tissue, didn't say a word, squatted at Xia Lei's feet to polish Xia Lei's shoes. Her movements were very neat, and it took a few strokes to polish Xia Lei's leather shoes shiny. Then, she sighed at the leather shoes and said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, you don't have to polish the leather shoes yourself, your leather shoes are already very bright." She stood up and continued, "If they want you to wipe the dust off the soles of your shoes, I'll wipe the dust off the soles of your shoes with my ass." ”

Charleigh, "......"

She was clearly going to hit Joseph.

Joseph was indeed struck, and his face turned blue with anger. The woman he had a crush on and was looking for actually cleaned Xia Lei's shoes, and was willing to use his ass to wipe the dust off Xia Lei's soles!

Tang Yuyan quietly gave a thumbs up to Anina, and Anina also got Miss Tang's favor for the first time.

Long Bing didn't react, but she also had a good impression of Anina in her heart. Unlike Anina, she can die for Charleigh, but she won't shine Charley's shoes.
