Chapter 120: Good News and Bad News
The things that should be done are done, and the things that shouldn't be done are done.
The charter became a trapeze artist again, from Europe to the Americas, from the Americas to Asia, and finally rushed back to the SAR the day before the winter vacation at Lujiawan NB Hope Primary School.
Ding Wenming, Zhang Bing, Wu Xiaozhu and Wu Xiaojun are all there, the eldest sister Zhang Hui is back, the cousin Wu Xiaolian is also back, and even the second sister Zhang Lin is back before him. They all looked at him with a smile, as if there was something on his face. You don't need to ask to know that it must be because of Xia Yao.
The more he wanted to know about the Dao, the more they didn't mention it, and they asked this and that one by one, and they asked about the company's affairs, and they couldn't help but answer, and the articles of association could only patiently answer their questions.
“…… In the instrumentation company to invest more, before and after the investment of nearly 10 million marks, the plant has been capped, is purchasing production equipment, if nothing else, in four months can produce voltmeter, ammeter, transformer capacity tester, transformer loss tester, cable fault tester, high-voltage switch mechanical characteristics tester, microcomputer relay protection instrument and other large number of electricity-related instrumentation and test equipment. ”
The instruments of the testing equipment know that the technical content of the technology is higher than that of industrial electrical appliances and switchgears.
Wu Xiaozhu didn't understand it very much, and couldn't help asking: "San'er, a German's salary, can hire thirty people in China, why don't you produce in China?" ”
Taking a sip of water, he explained: "Because these are only the most basic products, when there is enough capital to invest in the future, and when the system engineering laboratory and the technical application laboratory are withdrawn from the CT project, we will also develop more advanced scanning electron microscopes, coordinate measuring instruments, spectrum analyzers, dual-frequency laser interferometers and laser rangefinders." These test instruments require the purchase of many spare parts, especially the sensors. There is no supporting one in China. More importantly, the technical and technological level is very demanding. There are not so many engineers and experienced workers in China. ”
"The cost is so high. I have to pay import tariffs again, and even if I produce it, it's not easy to sell! ”
"Those ordinary products are not very easy to sell, but there is still a market for high-precision instruments in China. Besides, you get what you pay for, and there will always be customers who know the goods. ”
Seeing that Zhang Bing was about to ask again, the charter simply introduced them one by one: "In comparison, NB clean energy and NB motor are much colder. It's not so much two companies as two R&D teams. The clean energy company is responsible for digesting and learning the technology of waste incineration, and there are only about 30 engineers. There is not a single worker, usually either in the laboratory or on the construction site of the power plant, focusing on technology and design, and there will be no entity now or in the future.
NB Motor has a small workshop and corresponding equipment in the 'Klinsmann's repair shop', a total of more than 80 engineers and workers, and then move to the new plant after the construction of the new plant, they will develop and produce servo motors on the basis of the existing technology in East Germany, and support the PLC and inverter in the testing stage, to complete the company's preliminary layout in the field of industrial automation control. ”
Ding Wenming was confused. Puzzled, he asked, "What's going on with Klinsmann's repair shop?" ”
Without waiting for the charter to speak, Zhang Lin said with a smile: "It's NB Industrial Manufacturing Company." It was started by Dr. Klinsmann, the director of the laboratory, so it was called 'Klinsmann's Repair Shop'. It's all a bunch of former SED scientists, engineers, factory directors, model workers, and workers who take care of themselves and don't need us to pay them. ”
Looking at everyone's face-to-face, Zhang Lin continued: "They are making our orders, and then they are providing after-sales service for various machine tools and professional machinery sold by the former East German Ministry of Industry, such as upgrading the CNC system and processing a few discontinued spare parts." Self-employed, self-financing, and the name of NB Electric has nothing to do with us......"
One monk carries water to eat, two monks carry water to eat, and three monks have no water to eat.
All of them are experts, you have your opinions, I have my opinions, I want to do everything, there are many people, and no one can convince anyone, so that the company's core business has not been determined for more than a month.
There is their "utopia", plus there are many problems with property rights, and the charter does not want to interfere too much, anyway, there are more companies that have collapsed in East Germany, and there is no shortage of such a company, even if it goes bankrupt and closes down, it will not have any impact on NB Electric.
After listening to Zhang Lin's explanation, everyone understood, and Wu Xiaolian, who had never interjected, asked again: "San'er, knowing that Brother Wenming and Sister Baolin got married on New Year's Day, why didn't you come back until now?" ”
"When I went to the United States to buy software, the other party's asking price was too high, and it took half a month to negotiate."
"What software?"
"I don't know how to translate it, it's called matrix and laboratory software, which is a kind of numerical operation software, linear algebra, automatic control theory, mathematical statistics, digital signal processing, time series analysis, and dynamic system simulation can be used, which can greatly improve the research and development efficiency of the laboratory. Companies are very expensive to buy, and several labs are loaded with millions of dollars. Universities and research institutes are cheap, so they spend a lot of effort on identification, and the time is delayed. ”
"If he doesn't sell, you can find someone else, you have to spend half a month with someone."
"There is no other family, they are the only ones in the whole world."
Putting down his glass, he continued: "And this software is really good, it can promote better and faster development in many important fields, it can advance our understanding of the earth, the environment and the universe, it can make cars safer, fuel can be used more efficiently, telephone conversations can be made clearer, measurement equipment can be more accurate, it can improve medical research and diagnostic technology, it can explore new energy sources, in short, it is very remarkable." ”
"Remarkable than discovering the giant magnetoresistive effect?"
"It's not a good comparison, in fact, it is precisely because we discovered the giant magnetoresistance effect that the other side made concessions."
Zhang Bing asked curiously: "How much money have you saved?" ”
"At least two million dollars, after all, we have a large number of installed machines, and after the New Year, I will train all R&D personnel so that they can learn to use this software."
The younger brother has been tossed for so long, Zhang Hui couldn't bear it, and said with a smile: "Okay." What to do, what to do, what to do. Let Xiaolian and I have a few words with San'er. ”
Where is Wu Xiaozhu willing to go. shook his head again and again and said, "Eldest sister, what you say is yours, we won't interrupt." ”
"yes, we don't interrupt."
None of them were willing to leave, so Zhang Hui could only turn around and ask, "San'er, what did the sister say?" ”
"Say it," the charter nodded slightly, a knowing smile on his face.
"One bad news and one good news. Which one do you want to hear? ”
"Whatever."
"The bad news is that people can't come, and her mother is sick and has to go back to her hometown."
The charter was a little disappointed, but still asked casually, "What about the good news?" ”
Zhang Hui said in a metaphorical tone: "The good news is that Xia Yao really likes you, and after our investigation for nearly a month, we found that she is indeed a good girl who is empathetic. ”
Do you need to say this?
The charter thought for a while, and then asked, "Did she say that her mother had any illness, and whether it was serious?" ”
"I don't know what to say, but when we came back, she just received a letter, and the letter only said that she was sick. I didn't say whether it was serious or not, and I didn't say anything sick. ”
The eldest sister's voice just fell. Mother Wu Xiulan walked out of the kitchen, patted him on the arm, and said softly: "Since she knows that her mother is sick, she should go and see it, anyway, you can't stay at home." ”
Looking at his hesitant appearance, Zhang Hui took out a note and stuffed it into his hand: "This is her home address, I inquired, there is a flight at night." You know the phone number of Pauline's house, if there is anything, you can directly ask Uncle Chen and Baodong for help, it is only a few dozen kilometers away, very close. ”
Wu Xiulan pointed to a pile of nutritional products in the corner, and reminded with a smile: "You can't come to the door empty-handed for the first time, the things are ready for you, remember to bring them later." ”
Before the charter could speak, Ding Wenming suddenly said, "I'll accompany you." ”
"What are you kidding, you groom official is not at home with the bride, what are you doing with me to Dongshan?"
"I accompany Pauline back to her hometown, do you understand when I go back?"
Chen Zhenghuai's family has just left, how can there be such a thing as returning to the door, the arrangements for the New Year have already been set, how can Wu Xiulan not know that he wants to see what Xia Yao is like, and he did not hesitate to debunk it: "Civilization, you little couple will go back to Nanbin this year and Dongshan next year, isn't it all good to say?" Go back where you need to go, don't make trouble for San'er. ”
"It's just, what kind of coaxing."
The charter scolded with a smile, and suddenly remembered that the wedding gift had not been given yet, and hurriedly said: "Brother Wenming, I will do things equally, you and Sister Pauling will also give a Berlin Wall brick when you get married, I will find a way to get it for you after the New Year, collect it well, don't treat the artwork as a treasure." ”
"It's almost the same as sending a brick to the Great Wall, what do I want the Berlin Wall for?"
"Meaningful," said the charter as he walked to the room, preparing to take a shower and change clothes, and said with a smile without looking back: "The story of the Berlin Wall is very touching, I will pick a larger piece for you to symbolize love, I wish you all to grow old together and be united forever." ”
Ding Wenming was made ridiculous, and couldn't help asking: "Can the wall tiles still symbolize love?" ”
"Absolutely."
Zhang Lin took over the conversation and explained with a smile: "I have heard the story of two great love saints, an Australian and an Argentine, both of whom like the girl in East Berlin and want to take their sweethearts from East Germany to West Germany. Everyone knows that it is very dangerous to climb over the wall, and you will be shot, but the Berlin Wall is not monolithic, there are always a few gates, a few traffic stops, and these two started the idea of traffic stops.
After research, Australians found that traffic stations rely on railings to block traffic, although they are very strong and constantly bumped, but the railings are relatively high, and if the car is low enough, it can be drilled directly under the railing. The Australian did what he said, hid his sweetheart in his suitcase, and took advantage of the East German police's inattention, and drove at full speed from under the railing to West Berlin. ”
Ding Wenming was happy and couldn't help but ask: "What about the other Argentine?" ”
"The Argentine doesn't like to use his brains, he thinks it's a good plan, and he decides to do it himself, and even the car is the same car that the Australians borrowed directly! But it's hard to find a car that's so short. The problem is that he didn't do any disguise, he didn't even change his license plate, and he drove over West Berlin. ”
"Come on, don't make people angry!"
The joker himself laughed breathlessly first, and it wasn't until the big guy urged him that Zhang Lin continued: "The Argentines drove into East Berlin with a swagger in the car that had been reported in no detail. When the East German police saw it, why was this car so familiar, but no one could have guessed that there was such a bold person in the world.
When the police asked him if the car had been to East Germany before, the Argentine was not red and his heart was not beating, and of course he said no. The police were also confused, waved their big hands, and let them go! A week later, he took his sweetheart to West Berlin in the same car. ”
Zhang Hui burst into tears and asked unsatisfactorily, "What happened later?" ”
"When they got married in West Berlin, the East German police were so angry that they put countless iron bars under the railing, not to mention cars, and even a dog would never want to get out of under the railing."
