"Stop!"

A policeman with a hooked nose with a whistle in his mouth and waving a small red flag stopped a large flatbed truck bound for the ALK factory on the outskirts of Korbach.

The car stopped, and from the passenger side of the cab of the flatbed truck, four people stepped down, except for a German translator, the other three were quite well-known.

At the forefront is Cao Shulin, the CEO of China's largest logistics company, Lamor Logistics, who dismantled the equipment from the Kohlbach factory and shipped it back to China, and his company took care of the handling work. Because it was Lin Zhenhua's business, Cao Shulin personally went from China to Germany to conduct on-site command, and he had been in the small town of Kolbach for almost a month.

Cao Shulin was accompanied by Lin Zhenhua, who had just come from China, and he had come to inspect the newly acquired factory as usual. He had just arrived today, and Cao Shulin had said that he was going to arrange a car to pick him up, but he said that he could take a flatbed truck to pull goods.

The other is Lin Zhenhua's old friend Qi Zhongmou, whose Sino-Italian trading group has long been the leading large-scale trading enterprise in China. In terms of total assets, Qi Zhongmou is not as good as Lin Zhenhua, who started in industry, but he is keen to participate in all kinds of fancy activities all day long, one will be elected as a news figure, and the other will be a "Chinese celebrity".

This time, Qi Zhongmou came to Germany to do another shocking thing, he bought a German airport and transformed it into a commercial distribution center. This means that the cargo plane of Zhongyi Group has its own airport since then, and the benefits it brings are innumerable. When Lin Zhenhua heard the news, he couldn't help but sigh that he was just thinking about getting a few ports in Europe, but this old Qi even got the airport.

After Qi Zhongmou signed the acquisition agreement with the government where the airport was located, he heard that Lin Zhenhua had also arrived in Germany, so he made a special trip to meet with Lin Zhenhua. Lin Zhenhua warmly invited him to take Cao Shulin's flatbed truck to visit the factory, but he actually encountered the police stopping the car on the road.

"Lao Cao, what's going on?" Lin Zhenhua asked Cao Shulin with a smile. "It's my first time in Kolbach, and I've been given such a dismount."

"I don't know." Cao Shulin said apologetically, "We've been working here for more than half a month, and we haven't encountered anything like this." ”

The interpreter ran up and muttered a few words to the police. Then he came back and reported to Cao Shulin: "Mr. Cao, this policeman said that the Meissen Bridge in front is a dangerous bridge, and our flatbed truck is too heavy to pass. ”

", we've been running back and forth hundreds of times on our flatbed truck, and we haven't heard of any dangerous bridges." Cao Shulin said. "This cop can't be mistaken, right?"

"I told him, and he said that it was because we went back and forth some time ago and destroyed the structure of the bridge, so now the bridge is in danger," the translator said. ”

"Hehe, Xiao Cao, do you pull too much every time? Crushed other people's bridges into dangerous bridges? Qi Zhongmou smiled heartlessly, "Don't think that when you go to Germany, you can stop engaging in sustainable development." ”

"Mr. Qi underestimated us too much. Even if we don't care about the German bridge, we care about the equipment, right? How dare we joke with Mr. Lin's equipment. Cao Shulin said, this honest and honest porter. Since becoming the CEO, I have gradually learned to say such beautiful words.

"Let's go and have a look." Lin Zhenhua said.

Several people walked together to the bridge, which was said to have become a dangerous bridge, and behind them, the flatbed driver pulled up to the side of the road at the direction of the police, waiting for instructions for the next step. …,

Everyone came to the bridge, looking left and right, and they didn't seem to see anything unusual, Cao Shulin called the translator over. He said to him, "Go and ask the policeman what is going on." ”

When the police came, Cao Shulin took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it to the police. The policeman smiled, took the whistle from his mouth, and put the cigarette on his mouth. He lit a cigarette on Cao Shulin's fire, and then gave Cao Shulin a friendly smile.

"Mr. Policeman, when did this bridge become a dangerous bridge?" Cao Shulin asked through an interpreter.

"It's this morning." The policeman replied.

"How did you find out?" Cao Shulin asked again.

The policeman shook his head and said, "It wasn't us who found out, it was the city hall that informed us that this bridge is a dangerous bridge and that it is strictly forbidden for any heavy vehicles to pass through." ”

"City Hall?" Lin Zhenhua interjected, "How could the city hall care about this bridge for no reason? Did they receive a report from a citizen? ”

The policeman shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't know. Qi Zhongmou, who was standing on the side, whispered to Lin Zhenhua and Cao Shulin: "Xiaolin, Xiaocao, why do I think this matter is a bit strange, it can't be that this policeman wants to make some benefits, right?" ”

"Not really, right?" Lin Zhenhua said, "Didn't you say that the German police were very clean? ”

"Who knows." Qi Zhongmou said, he walked up to the policeman, and asked the policeman through the translator: "Mr. policeman, I don't think there is anything abnormal about this bridge, and the load-bearing marked on the bridge can also meet the requirements of our vehicles, can you help us pass?" ”

"It's absolutely not going to work." The policeman said solemnly, "Sir, I am responsible for your safety. A dangerous bridge may seem fine, but if it fails, it will cause casualties. Since the city hall has informed us that this bridge is dangerous, we must not allow your vehicles to pass through it. ”

"Lao Qi, let's not take this risk." Lin Zhenhua persuaded, he turned to Cao Shulin and asked, "Old Cao, are there any other bridges besides this bridge?" ”

Cao Shulin shook his head and said, "No, the other bridges on this side are not for trucks." If you want to find another bridge, you have to go around for dozens of kilometers, and it will take at least half a day to come and go. ”

"What can I do?" Lin Zhenhua also scratched his head, the dismantling and transportation of the equipment of the Kohlbach factory has been carried out for more than half of the time, and it is really troublesome to encounter such an emergency situation at this time.

Qi Zhongmou said: "Xiaolin, if you believe me, I think there is definitely something wrong with this matter." I bet this bridge is not a dangerous bridge, someone must be trying to stumble on us. ”

Lin Zhenhua can be regarded as a witty person, but most of his activities are conspiracy. It is to rely on strength to fight against opponents. Qi Zhongmou is used to doing one thing in the business field, and he has a natural sensitivity to all kinds of conspiracies. Hearing him say this, Lin Zhenhua also felt that this matter was full of suspicions, but. He couldn't think of anyone who would stumble on himself for whatever purpose.

"Let's go, since this policeman said he was acting on the instructions of the city hall, let's go to the city hall and ask." Qi Zhongmou said.

Twenty years ago, the Chinese did not have such confidence overseas, and how dare they go to the city hall of others to negotiate when they encounter problems. But now it's different, Lin Zhenhua and Qi Zhongmou are both big entrepreneurs who came to invest in Germany. Sometimes people's government ministers have to come out to greet them, what is a small town hall?

Cao Shulin called a taxi, let everyone get in, and went straight to the city hall. Hearing that among the visitors was the Chinese chairman of the board of directors who had bought the Kohlbach plant, the old man at the city hall had a little more humility on his face and personally took them to Mayor Lawrence's office. …,

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome." With some apprehension on his face, Lawrence let Lin Zhenhua and his party sit down on the sofa. Then he asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, have you come to me for any advice?" ”

This is a knowingly asked. Where would Lawrence not know the intention of Lin Zhenhua and others. You must know that this notice from Weiqiao was issued by him personally.

Cao Shulin's company was in charge of the transportation work, so Cao Shulin took the lead in asking: "Mr. Mayor, when our flatbed truck was about to pass through the Meissen Bridge today, the police informed us that it was a dangerous bridge and we were not allowed to pass it, and he also said that this was a notice issued by the city hall, so we came here to find out the specific situation." ”

"Uh-huh, Meissen Bridge...... There is indeed such a thing. Lawrence replied. While he speaks. Lin Zhenhua and Qi Zhongmou both stared at his eyes, only to find that this guy's eyes were floating, and he looked like he was lying.

By declaring the Meissen Bridge a dangerous bridge to prevent Hanwha from transporting the equipment from the Kohlbach factory, this was a detrimental move by Khedira to Lawrence. The Kohlbach plant has been acquired by GCA, and the equipment in the factory is now the property of GCA. Whichever Hanhua wants to take away or which one to leave behind, others have no right to interfere.

Khedira told Lawrence that all the equipment that Hanhua had shipped away was cutting-edge equipment and what was left behind was obsolete equipment, which aroused Lawrence's dissatisfaction with Hanhua, but Lawrence could not use this as a reason to stop Hanhua's actions.

Khedira suggested that Lawrence could escalate the matter to Congress and ask Congress to investigate the incident and add a variable to the Hanhua dismantling equipment, and Lawrence accepted the suggestion. But before Congress intervenes, there will be some trouble in how to temporarily halt the demolition and transportation work of Hanhua. Khedira then came up with the idea that the Meissen Bridge was a dangerous bridge, making it impossible for Cao Shulin's flatbed truck to pass.

This time, the equipment that GCA intends to transport from the Kohlbach factory, including some test equipment, processing machines, small electric furnaces, etc., weighs several tons and must be transported by truck. The flatbed could not pass through the Meissen Bridge, and Hanhua could not get the equipment out, thus buying time for Lawrence to seek congressional interference.

In fact, Khedira himself knows that the Congress should not interfere in this matter in the end, after all, the sale of ALK's factory to China is a decision of the German government, and there is a tacit understanding between the Congress and the government. Khedira did this only out of a need to vent his anger, he wanted to add some trouble to Hanhua, even if it was a futile struggle, he had to give it a try.

Lin Zhenhua didn't know the trick behind this incident, but he guessed some clues from Lawrence's eyes. He asked, "Mr. Mayor, I would like to know who identified the bridge as a dangerous bridge." ”

"Well......" Lawrence said, "we have been told by citizens who believe that the dismantling of the equipment at the Kolbach plant and the frequent passage of cargo trucks over the bridge during this period of time will cause unpredictable damage to the bridge." ”

This statement matches the statement of the police on the bridge, but from Lawrence's wording, it can be heard that the judgment of this dangerous bridge is completely unfounded. Lin Zhenhua asked, "Mr. Mayor, is your city's decision-making so rash?" Just because someone said that the bridge could become dangerous, you blocked the deck and prevented others from passing through. So, if someone says that there is going to be an earthquake in the local area, are you also planning to move the city? ”

"Of course not." Lawrence stubbornly said, "We will seriously verify such rumors." If the final ...... Belch. I mean, if there's evidence that the bridge is still usable, we'll revoke the warning of the dangerous bridge. ”…,

"How long are you going to do this?" Lin Zhenhua continued to ask.

Lawrence dodged Lin Zhenhua's question and asked in turn, "Mr. Lin." I heard you just introduce yourself that you are the chairman of the Chinese Hanhua Heavy Industries Group, which bought the Kohlbach plant, can I ask why you are dismantling the equipment of this factory? ”

Lin Zhenhua smiled slightly and said: "This is just a production matter within an enterprise, is Mr. Mayor also concerned about such a thing?" ”

Lawrence said, "I heard that you took it away." It's all cutting-edge equipment in the factory, and what is left behind is some backward equipment, is this a fact? ”

Lin Zhenhua's eyes lit up, and he knew what the problem was. It seems that Qi Zhongmou's guess is completely correct, and the local government deliberately found an excuse for such a dangerous bridge because they were disgusted with Hanhua's removal of the cutting-edge equipment in the Kolbach factory.

"Mr. Mayor, what you say is true." Lin Zhenhua said. He didn't want to lie on the subject, and he felt that even if he admitted it openly and honestly, the German government would have nothing to say.

"We bought the Kolbach plant. The purpose is to improve the technical level of our Chinese enterprises. The Kohlbach plant has a lot of state-of-the-art equipment that is state-of-the-art, and we ship it back to China to be able to learn, without violating the agreement we signed with the German government. Lin Zhenhua said.

Lawrence said: "But how can you keep this factory running with only outdated equipment here?" As mayor of the city, I have an obligation to ask you to ensure the sustainability of this plant's operations. ”

Is there any mistake about the sustainability of a German factory, why should I, a Chinese company, guarantee it? If it weren't for the state-of-the-art equipment in the factory, I would have to buy this factory. Also committed to keeping 50% of the plant's production capacity locally? Lin Zhenhua muttered secretly in his heart.

However, in terms of face, he still had to make some gestures, and he said: "Mr. Mayor, your fears are unfounded. When we bought the Kohlbach plant, we naturally wanted it to continue to be profitable. Next. We assign production tasks to the Kohlbach plant according to the group-wide plan. These production tasks can be carried out with existing equipment, and if other equipment is required, we also ship it from China or purchase it in Germany. I don't think Mr. Mayor has any obligation to pay attention to these details, right? ”

Lawrence also knew that he was in the wrong, but it had already been done, and he couldn't slap himself in the face. In response to Lin Zhenhua's questioning, he adopted a tricky strategy and said: "Mr. Lin, I am very grateful to your company for being able to retain the production capacity of the Kohlbach factory, and I hope that we can cooperate very happily in the future." ”

Lin Zhenhua sneered: "Mr. Mayor, I don't see the sincerity of your city for the cooperation between the two sides. If the Meissen Bridge is indeed a dangerous bridge, can I assume that the machine tools produced at the Kohlbach plant will not be able to be transported in the future? If that's the case, then we'll have to shut down the plant and wait until the bridge is repaired. ”

"I think you're just deliberately making things difficult!" Cao Shulin was shocked, "Mr. Lin was right just now, when this factory was still in production in the past, didn't its trucks that transported machine tools pass over the Meissen Bridge every day?" Also, it also needs to purchase steel from outside, and these vehicles that transport steel also have to cross the Meissen Bridge, right? So many vehicles went back and forth, and they didn't crush the Meissen Bridge, we only transported a few trips of goods, and the bridge became a dangerous bridge? Who are you fooling! ”

As soon as Cao Shulin started a fire, his voice was thick enough, and he didn't stop his speech. The translator hesitated for a moment, and turned back to look at Lin Zhenhua, meaning to ask Lin Zhenhua if these words could be translated in the same way. Lin Zhenhua waved his hand and said: "You can translate according to Mr. Cao's original words, if they dare to argue with us, I will go to the German Chancellor to complain." ”

The translator translated the words, and Lawrence really meant that a dead pig was not afraid of hot water. "Gentlemen, I'm very sorry, but as a mayor, I have an obligation to take responsibility for the safety of the precinct," he said firmly. Since there are hidden dangers in the Meissen Bridge, I have no right to release it until further appraisal results are available. ”

"This guy is determined to fight against us." When he came out of the city hall, Cao Shulin said to Lin Zhenhua angrily, "It's really not good, let's break through, I have 120 points of certainty to ensure that this bridge is not a dangerous bridge." ”

"No." Lin Zhenhua said, "People have already informed us, if we break in, we will give people a handle, and when the time comes, we will be even more troublesome." It is imperative to find a way to get the city hall to lift the warning of the dangerous bridge. ”

"Do you want someone from the ALK side to coordinate?" Qi Zhongmou suggested, "You bought ALK's factory, and it is natural for them to coordinate." As a local German company, they are more energetic in this regard. ”

Lin Zhenhua sneered: "ALK? I can smell ALK's meddling in this matter even against the wind, and I guess it's ALK's people...... Maybe it's Khedira, behind the scenes! (To be continued.)
