Dealing with the "Klinsmann's Repair Plant", determining the company's projects to be developed by the laboratory in the next six months, learning about the progress of the construction and preparation of the waste incineration plant and the German factory, and visiting the company's two batches of people who went to Germany for further study...... A month seems like a long time, but when you calculate it, you can't do a lot of things.

Christmas is getting closer and closer, considering that there was not even a listing ceremony when the European headquarters was established, the charter decided to hold a cocktail party before returning home, inviting NB Electric's business partners, political, banking and association friends in Berlin to connect with each other and deepen the friendship.

"San'er, is this okay?"

Tonight's cocktail party was very formal, the first time to participate in such an event, Zhang Lin was very excited and nervous, put on the evening dress that she had tried countless times before, and turned around in front of him three times in a row.

The charter glanced up and down, nodded and said, "Yes, it fits well, they will definitely say that you are radiant and dazzling." ”

"Really?" Zhang Lin was skeptical, and took the corner of her skirt and turned around in front of the mirror.

"Don't turn around, your head is about to be dizzy by you, a little confident, okay?"

"What my sister lacks most is self-confidence," Zhang Lin looked at herself in the mirror, and said frustratedly: "Not as beautiful as Yin Wanyi, and not as good as the blonde Lin Ni, instead of going down to embarrass you, it is better to watch TV in the room alone." ”

She was happy, and while taking her arm downstairs, she whispered: "Sister, you have been studying in Germany for so long, why haven't you even figured out the aesthetics of the Germans?" Yin Wanyi is not thin, she wants to be in shape, she wants to be tall. can't even hold up a dress, so Daniel is obsessed with her. Not to mention Linnie. Don't look at her now that she is convex and backward, she will become a big bucket in a few years. ”

German aunts have seen a lot. Although it is not as exaggerated as the Soviet aunt, it is also fatter than the other, Zhang Lin laughed: "How can you say such a thing, but you reminded me that sausages and red sausages really can't be eaten anymore." ”

For the first time, the company held a cocktail party, and the European colleagues at home were all there, all dressed well, wearing tuxedos or suits, and bringing their respective wives or girlfriends. They were chatting and laughing in a hall full of drinks and food.

Jiang Meimei, the first batch of people who went to Germany for further study in Berlin, also came, and when she saw the two of them, she said with a smile: "Linlin, it's so beautiful, I almost can't recognize it, like a bride." ”

finally met someone who could speak Mandarin, Zhang Lin was excited: "Sister Mei, you are also very beautiful, where did you buy this dress, it really fits." It's like it's made for you. ”

"Okay two," he reminded, coughing dryly, "if you want to praise it, you must praise it in German, or people will think you are rude." ”

Zhilu said. It's up to you. Zhang Lin gave a roll of his eyes, threw him and Jiang Meimei into the corner and whispered.

As night falls, the lights come on. Soft music plays in the hall. The guests arrived one after another, keeping the host's charter and Daniel busy for the evening.

"Professor, Ph.D. Champagne or wine? ”

"You're welcome, we'll do it ourselves."

Good neighbors Angra and Professor Achim have a special status. Must be personally received by the charter. The future female prime minister looked around, picked up a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray, and teased: "Zhang, how could you think of having a drinking party?" I don't think you're that generous. ”

The charter smiled and said meaningfully: "Doctor, don't you think Berlin is too deserted?" It's almost Christmas, and I think it's necessary to have a lively buzz. ”

"It's a bit of a cold, indeed." Professor Achim nodded approvingly and sighed: "Last year, when we talked about investing in East Germany, none of us thought it was an unattainable joke. Chapter, I have to admit, you are very visionary. ”

"It is not surprising that there was such a strong call for reform at that time, and there were many precedents for reform. Professor, if you want to talk about foresight, the late former British Prime Minister Mr. Winston Churchill had the foresight, and it seems that he saw such a thing decades ago. ”

From a geopolitical point of view, German reunification was not in Britain's interest.

As early as the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill demanded in the peace treaty that once the two Germany were reunified, West Germany would pay war reparations for East Germany. In order to complete reunification as soon as possible, the two Germans made a huge compromise with Britain in the "2+4" negotiations, and the war reparations of East Germany were one of them.

Thinking of how many years it will take to collect the unified tax, and thinking that the sense of superiority brought by paying taxes to West Germans is likely to make East Germans second-class citizens, Angela is very uncomfortable, and immediately diverts the topic: "Zhang, have you really taken over 'Klinsmann's repair shop'?"

"Fiduciary, to be exact."

"What about the future?"

"No one knows what will happen in the future."

"What do you mean?"

"Doctor, as the Prime Minister's Deputy Spokesman, don't you read today's newspaper?"

As he walked inside with the two of them, he smiled wryly: "A factory in Dresden belonged to a family of Jews, who were forced to sell it to a Nazi before they fled Germany. After the war, Nazi buyers fled to West Germany, and the factory was taken over by Soviet troops. Later, the factory was transferred to the Socialist Unity government, after which the property was sold to East German citizens. When it was renationalized in 1972, the factory was forcibly bought back by the government.

Including the former Socialist Unity government, the factory had four legitimate interest holders, and the Trusteeship Board had to identify a primary owner, and the liquidation of the Nazi legacy was intertwined with German reunification, and it was not clear who the first owner was. Klinsmann's repair shop also had such a problem, so we had to entrust it. ”

Property rights are unclear, and there are too many sequelae.

Thinking of the ironic privatization process during this period, Professor Achim said helplessly: "Angra, there are many such strange things, and the very rigid 'return in kind' enables an 18-year-old secondary school student to take over a small and medium-sized business. There is no experience in the operation and management of capitalist enterprises, and there is no capital to invest in the transformation of production equipment, and the results speak for themselves. Sooner or later, businesses will be tossed and shut down. ”

Another heavy topic, the future female prime minister no longer squeaks. Simply put down the wine glass and taste the food that NB Electric prepared for them.

Representatives of the Berlin City of Berlin and the Berlin City Cleaning Company, the joint venture of the waste incineration plant, arrived, and the charter quickly apologized to the two. Greet Daniel with him.

German companies always like to hire a banker as a director, and NB Electric's Berlin waste incineration plant is no exception, and Mr. Kurt of Deutsche Bank is the director of the incineration plant, and he talked to him for a full 20 minutes in order to borrow more money from Deutsche Bank when it starts production next year.

Friends of the East German political party "German Union", distributor of NB Electric in Berlin, contractors for power plant and plant infrastructure projects, employers' associations, hardware unions, electric power industry associations, environmental associations...... Almost all the friends who had dealings with NB Electric Germany came, until they said hello one by one. The charter returned to Angela and Professor Achim with his glass.

"Leaving tomorrow?"

"The 8 a.m. flight went to the United States, then to Taiwan, and then back to the Hong Kong headquarters. Two, I'm sorry that I can't spend Christmas with you this Christmas like last year, but I've got the gifts ready, and Linlin will help me deliver them when the time comes. ”

Angela glanced at Linnie. Zhang Lin, who was chatting with Heideman, said with a smile: "Zhang, your sister is very cute. If she wants, we can invite her to spend Christmas with us. ”

"It's her pleasure."

"Zhang, you can achieve greater achievements in quantum mechanics, how can you give up so easily?" For the charter wasted academics. Focusing on business, Professor Achim felt very incomprehensible.

The charter's face was straight, and he said in a heartfelt voice: "Professor." There are still many people in the world who do not have jobs, and there are still many people who do not have access to electricity. So in my opinion, it makes more sense to run a company than to do research. ”

Angra's attitude on this issue is consistent with the charter, emphasizing: "Dear. The chapter does provide a lot of employment opportunities. ”

"How many?"

"As it stands, 1,600 jobs have been given to East Germans."

Looking at his triumphant appearance, the future female prime minister couldn't help but say: "Zhang, Klinsmann's repair shop doesn't count." ”

"It's not a matter of nothing, it's not Klinsmann's repair shop anymore, and it's not Thomas. Münzel Machinery Factory, but NB Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of NB Electric. ”

Professor Achim was uncharacteristically concerned about his career and asked curiously: "Zhang, how many companies do you have in Berlin?" ”

"Waste incineration power plants, NB laboratories and industrial manufacturing companies are well known, in addition to NB instrumentation, NB clean energy and NB motors, although the scale is not large, but has strong development potential, I believe that in the near future, they will develop into the industry's top two companies."

"Are you so confident?"

"There's no doubt about that."

Angela was skeptical of this, and said with a smile: "Zhang, it is not easy to become one of the top companies, especially in Germany, where the competition is very strong. ”

"It's not easy, so I need to work harder."

"Tell me about your development strategy, rest assured, I will not divulge your trade secrets."

Shopping malls are like battlefields, but more to fight with things, with their own fighting, there are not so many intrigues, only wholeheartedly engaged in research and development, down-to-earth production, spare no effort to engage in sales, in order to gain a firm foothold in the international market.

There is no conspiracy, only an upright conspiracy, considering that the current person who will lead the "East German Gang" in the future to call for wind and rain in the German political arena, there are many places to use her in the future, the charter frankly said: "NB Electric is a new company, and if it wants to gain a certain share in the international market of competitors, it must use one product to drive another product." At the beginning, we used the switch panel to drive the industrial appliances, then the industrial appliances to drive the high and low voltage complete sets of equipment, and now we use the high and low voltage complete sets of equipment to drive the power transformer.

Such a strategy has been very effective, so we will focus on instrumentation in the future, and use instrumentation to drive sales of the whole line of products. Of course, we have some other R&D projects, but they are not making much progress, and we will expand the market in this way when the results come out in the future. ”

Professor Achim was confused and asked puzzledly: "Use instrumentation to drive the sales of power equipment?" ”

"There's no way around it." The charter put down the wine glass and patiently explained: "We have no brand influence in the high-pressure market, and we don't have enough performance, so we can only prove our technical strength in this way." ”

Angela reacted like an empowerment and nodded repeatedly: "This is a good idea!" Dear, Zhang uses a roundabout strategy, we can imagine who needs to use instruments, as long as the ammeter, resistance meter, voltmeter and other electricity-related test equipment can open the market, it is equivalent to invisibly advertising NB Electric's high-voltage equipment. At that time, his sales staff will definitely pat his chest and say to the customer, the instruments of your testing equipment are all produced by us, and there is no need to worry about the quality of our equipment.
