"Mr. Ling, hello hello, I have long admired you for a long time, the Ambrera company you founded is the only overseas high-tech company for our Chinese, you are the pride of all our Chinese, please bear with me this time to visit." As soon as they met, Director Zeng of China Railway No. 1 Bureau held Ling Shizhe's hand and kept talking. If outsiders see it, they think he is flattering in front of Ling Shizhe.

As the director of China Railway No. 1 Bureau, he has the name of the iron boss on his head, and he is not hugging him when he walks there, and the reason why he puts his posture so low this time is also due to the instructions from above.

Because Ling Shizhe is different from ordinary Hong Kong tycoons, from his background, the Ling family is an old Kuomintang/Kuomintang/Party family in Hong Kong, and there are several generals in the family, his father is a lieutenant general, his eldest brother is a major general, his second brother is a lieutenant general, and there are several colonel-level officers, not to mention that Ling Shizhe's military rank is higher than that of his father-general.

Moreover, the Ling family is also the top right-wing wealthy family in Hong Kong, with huge influence in Hong Kong, coupled with Ambrera, a large international multinational enterprise, no matter who is in power in the mainland, it is impossible to take Ling Shizhe and the Ling family behind him seriously.

Ling Shizhe never expected that the other party would put his posture so low, looking at the old age spots and white hair on Director Zeng's face in front of him, he couldn't help but ask, "Old man, longevity?" ”

Director Zeng replied, "I am seventy-six years old this year. ”

Ling Shizhe was slightly startled, his face immediately returned to normal, his hand pointed to the sofa, and said, "Old man, please take a seat." White dew, tea. ”

After a while, Bai Lu brought the tea, as usual, Bai Lu made a cup of three flowers for Ling Shizhe, good tea is used to entertain guests, no, in front of the old director Zeng is a cup of high-quality jasmine tea, of course, this tea is definitely not as good as Zhongnanhai's tribute tea, but overseas, this is already the top flower tea.

After the tea is served. Bai Lu went out, and gently closed the door as she left.

While drinking tea, Director Zeng observed Ling Shizhe sitting opposite from the corner of his eye, and at the same time thought about how to complete the task assigned by Deng Lao.

After drinking tea. Director Zeng opened the conversation box and said: "I heard from someone a few days ago that Mr. Chairman asked his MTR company to open a special unloading area for the "three trains", and at the same time asked them to ensure the absolute safety of the "three trains" in Hong Kong no matter what. Here, on behalf of the mainland government, I would like to thank Mr. Ling for his profound righteousness. ”

Don't look at Director Zeng's age, but he speaks with a full temperament, and his voice is loud and clear, based on this alone, Ling Shizhe can be sure that the identity of the old gentleman in front of him is by no means as simple as the director of the China Railway First Bureau, and his true identity is a big guy like the Central Advisory Committee.

Ling Shizhe guessed right, this Director Zeng's status in the mainland is indeed very high. Although it is not a national leader, it is also half a country.

The reason why he is so old and still serves as the director of China Railway First Bureau is a helpless move of the country, ten years of turmoil, many old cadres have been defeated, and he is also one of them.

After the end of the Cultural Revolution, in view of the chaotic state of various government departments, in order to recover as soon as possible, they invited a group of respected bigwigs to various government departments to take charge. And this Zeng boss was arranged to the first bureau of China Railway.

This time, the above sent him to Hong Kong for only one purpose, that is, to unite Ling Shizhe.

Director Zeng has a united front list in his hand, and Ling Shizhe is at the top. Because through their observations over the years, they found that although Ling Shizhe and the Ling family behind him are the families of high-ranking generals of the Kuomintang/Kuomintang/Party, they are inseparable from the Taiwan authorities, and they are not all the way!

This made the mainland feel that it was an opportunity, an opportunity to win the Ling family over, so they sent Zeng Lao. The reason why no one else was allowed to come over was because Ling Shizhe's identity was there, and the others were not enough at all.

"No thanks, everyone is Chinese, ensuring the safety of the "three trains" and stabilizing prices in Hong Kong is what I should do. Ling Shizhe said.

Well, as long as you are willing to admit that you are Chinese, it will be easy to do. Director Zeng said in his heart.

"In addition to thanking Mr. Ling for the "three trains", I also hope that China Railway can continue to cooperate with MTR in the future. ”

Ling Shizhe replied: "The people below have reported to me that your work is doing a good job, and the construction progress is still very fast, and I also hope that our cooperation can be maintained for a long time." ”

After speaking, Ling Shizhe stretched out his right hand, and Director Zeng also stretched out his right hand, and the two hands were clasped together.

The mainland's export of labor abroad can not only obtain the foreign exchange that the country is in short supply, but also train the team to accumulate experience, and Ling Shizhe can also save a lot of construction costs, the two sides can be said to be mutually beneficial, Ling Shizhe would be a fool if he refused.

Unfortunately, the construction companies on the mainland are not qualified to build in Western countries, and if they do, they can also outsource the experimental electrified railway from Montreal to Raccoon Town.

After the two sides parted, Director Zeng continued: "When our employees were building the subway line, they found that your company's subway construction level was very high, especially the machine you used, digging tunnels, the speed is very fast, can you tell me, what kind of machine is it?" ”

"Ah, you said this," Ling Shizhe said with a smile: "This machine is called a tunnel excavator, and it is the latest product developed by the Canadian company LOVAT." The shield excavation method is adopted, in which the steel components of the cylinder are made to excavate the soil while advancing along the axis of the tunnel, and then the excavators excavate in the iron shell on one side and lining the inner wall of the tunnel with bricks on the other side, so as to complete the tunnel operation.

This excavation method is very similar to an earthworm digging a tunnel, so it is called the shield method. His biggest advantage is that the buildings on the ground do not need to be relocated on a large scale, and the excavation speed is 100 times faster than that of manual labor. ”

Director Zeng's eyes lit up and asked, "How much does this kind of machine cost?" ”

Ling Shizhe said: "More than 10 million dollars." ”

Director Zeng's eyes darkened, and he said, "It's too expensive, I can't afford it." ”

Ling Shizhe smiled slightly and did not speak, this Director Zeng, how could he not have imagined that in the past 30 years, China has become the world's largest tunnel boring machine manufacturer, and the shield excavators produced have not only completely realized localization, but also met the needs of China's railway construction. Moreover, it is exported to Europe and the United States in large quantities, and earns more than 10 billion US dollars in foreign exchange for the country every year.

At that time, Western countries, except for aviation, aerospace and military industrial enterprises, were already empty.

But until that time. It is estimated that this director Zeng has long since passed away, and he will not see the day when the motherland will prosper.

After a short silence in the room, Director Zeng said: "Your tunnel construction technology is much higher than ours, can our workers come and learn from you?" ”

What kind of learning, it's clear that you want to steal a teacher to learn technology, okay. However, Ling Shizhe did not refuse. On the contrary, he happily agreed, because the higher the level of construction in the mainland, it is not a bad thing for him, the higher their level, the more construction projects can be outsourced to them in the future, and Ambrera can also save a lot of costs, so Ling Shizhe not only fully agreed to the other party's request, but also did not bring any additional conditions.

Seeing that Ling Shizhe agreed so happily, Director Zeng's heart became suspicious, he had seen too many faces of Western companies. If you want to buy their company's products, they will offer you as an ancestor, but if you ask them for technology, they will have a different face - don't think.

Ling Shizhe started with technology, why is he so happy? So he spoke out the doubts in his heart.

Ling Shizhe laughed and said, "Our Ambrera Company does not rely on infrastructure projects to eat, and we have given you all these technologies, and we have no impact on us. ”

Director Zeng smiled and said, "So that's the case, no wonder." I actually forgot that you are making computers, and this is the core of you. ”

Here comes the main topic, Ling Shizhe finally knows the purpose of this Director Zeng's visit today. Having said so much earlier, they are all making a mat for computers, what does Ambrera do? It was a computer, and the supercomputer launched in 74 had a maximum computing speed of 120 billion times per second, which shocked the whole world at that time. If you want to say that the mainland side has no ideas, you can't believe it if you kill Ling Shizhe.

What is the computing speed of the mainland at this time? Maybe they haven't even crossed the threshold of 100 million times, if they can get Ambrera's supercomputer, what does it mean for the mainland? You can figure it out with your toes, and if nothing else, the mainland's military industry will be able to make a breakthrough.

However, supercomputing is the first prohibited product on the list of Batumi, should you give them supercomputing technology? Ling Shizhe fell into thought.

After thinking about it for a long time, Ling Shizhe decided to take a gamble and said, "The real purpose of the old gentleman's visit this time is to supercalculate, right?" But do you know that supercomputers are forbidden to be sold to you by the Batumi Council? ”

Director Zeng nodded and said, "I know, so I didn't expect you to give us the supercalculation." I'm here to make friends today, and it's important to make friends sincerely, and we won't put friends in a dangerous situation. ”

It's amazing! Ling Shizhe praised in his heart, no wonder the country/people/party can't do them, just by what he said just now, he clearly knows that he is here for supercomputing, but you just can't hate it, on the contrary, you will have a little good impression of them.

Looking at Director Zeng's appearance, even if Ling Shizhe proposes to give them a supercomputer for free now, it is estimated that they will not want it.

The reason is very simple, Ling Shizhe is a businessman, why did he take such a big risk to sell the supercomputer to them, not to mention that it is still free, he will inevitably have a picture, and this picture, the mainland may not be able to get it.

Also, even if Ling Shizhe doesn't want any return, he is truly patriotic, the mainland side is estimated to not accept it, and if he doesn't return it, he has to owe favors, but this favor is too great, and Director Zeng doesn't know how to pay it back in the future, what if Ling Shizhe proposes to embarrass the country in the future? What will they do then? Therefore, I can't owe favors, and I have also made the bottom line of the secretary's visit to Hong Kong this time.

Although these twists and turns were complicated, Ling Shizhe understood it as soon as his mind turned around, so he didn't continue to mention this matter.

"Mr. Ling, I want to ask one last question." Director Zeng said.

"Please."

"What do you think of the mainland and Taiwan/Bay?"

Sure enough, Ling Shizhe shook his head with a wry smile, in his previous life, he had read a lot of time-traveling texts, and after many reborn people were born, the mainland would ask them a question, how to look at the mainland and Hong Kong, or how to look at the mainland and Taiwan/Bay, and all the protagonists of the novel would stand on the side of the mainland.

In 73, the mainland held a reunification negotiation with the Taiwan authorities, and the negotiator on the Taiwan side at that time was Comrade Jiang Jianfeng, and the negotiator on the mainland was Deng Lao, who had just been reactivated.

Unfortunately, the mainland was in turmoil at that time, and the negotiations ended in failure.

However, now that the mainland wants to resume talks, it turns out that the Taiwan authorities have turned a blind eye to the olive branch thrown by the mainland, and as a result, the process of cross-strait reunification has reached a dead end, and in order to break the deadlock, they have decided to see if they can open a breakthrough from Ling Shizhe.

Ling Shizhe couldn't be clearer about the hidden purpose behind this sentence, but unfortunately he didn't know how to reply to the other party.

After thinking about it for a long time, he said: "The mainland and Taiwan/Bay are separated by a strip of water, with the same roots and origins, and can never be separated." ”

"Very well said, the same root and the same origin, cannot be separated!" Director Zeng said categorically: "Now, Taiwan is ignoring us!" ”

Ling Shizhe understood his feelings, and the mainland proposed a few years ago the principle of "one country, two systems" to resolve the Taiwan/Gulf issue, but the Taiwan/Gulf side closed itself off from contact with the mainland, and at the same time wantonly created public opinion on the island that terrorized the Communists, describing the other side of the strait as a beast of prey.

This is a bit like a man and a woman falling in love, the man likes the girl and initiates a pursuit of the girl, but the girl ignores the boy and doesn't even say anything to the boy, which makes the boy blind, and moves rescuers everywhere in a hurry, hoping that the girl can talk to the boy, as long as the girl is willing to speak, the boy has a way to chase the other party.

The mainland's move was to want Taiwan/Bay to open its mouth, so it hit Ling Shizhe with the idea. (To be continued.) )
