Chapter Eighty-Four: Go Hand in Hand
Nearly half of the colleagues from the overseas department are here, and 15 colleagues from the Ministry of Commerce also came to support under the leadership of Cao Xuming.
The political situation was turbulent, the major research institutes in East Germany were paralyzed, and researchers went to West Germany to earn Simaks. Because the ideology was "polluted", those who needed to find a way to find a way to find a way, for a while, people went to the empty building, and 16 trainees including Zhang Junshan, Wu Bin and Jiang Meimei, who had nothing to do, also came.
Even more than a dozen professors from the School of Science and Engineering of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the School of Construction and Environment of the Polytechnic University, and the Faculty of Engineering of the Polytechnic University have come all the way from Hong Kong with their protΓ©gΓ©s and special funds approved by various universities.
Hong Kong does not have a waste-to-energy plant, and it does not have and will not have.
The opportunity is really rare, and their intention is self-evident, and they want to add a touch of participation in the design and construction of the waste incineration power plant to their future publicity and resume.
Overcrowded, the charter had to rely on good popularity and a large number of Simaks to "requisition" several villas around it, and even moved the office to the home of the future female chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany.
This is the harvest season, and he is so busy that he doesn't even know when the Spring Festival in 1990 will pass. I had just finished dinner with Professor Achim, and I had to listen to the reports of Daniel, Ruan Shaojing, Cao Xuming and others.
ββ¦β¦ The Nature and Environmental Protection Association agreed to hold a press conference with us, and the Construction Engineering Association agreed in principle to accept Vietnamese laborers, but only for our power plant project. Since a large amount of labor fees have not yet been paid, the government has acquiesced to our employment requirements, and the union has not raised any doubts about the compensation and benefits guarantee. Although there are less than 1,000 people, I think I can give an explanation to the Vietnamese government. β
As soon as Daniel finished speaking, Ruan Shaojing continued: "Deutsche Bank is strongly asking us to transfer East Mark to their branch in Hong Kong, which may be related to the ongoing 2+4 negotiations (negotiations between East Germany and West Germany and the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union). As for the exchange rate, they still say that it will be subject to the joint announcement of the two Germanys after the official conclusion of the monetary union. β
The charter nodded slightly, and said thoughtfully: "Our share is indispensable, and the top priority is to negotiate with the associations." β
Before the reunification of the two Germanys, the new East German government, which obeyed the West Germans, had already begun a series of evaluations of all state civil servants. It is necessary to check whether they are "tainted" by Marxist-Leninist ideology. Even after the assessment, there is a probationary period before you can re-become a public servant.
Dr. Klinsmann was undoubtedly ostracized, and for these two days he did not go to the Physics Research Center, and spent all day with the charter to advise on the development of NB Electric (Germany) GmbH.
When he mentioned the "bad behavior" of the West Germans, he was angry, and muttered indignantly: "Investing in East Germany depends on the eyes of the West Germans, is the new government just a decoration?" β
The slogans outside have changed from "we are the people" to "we are a nation", and he still has unrealistic illusions about the new government, and the charter feels very funny, and he can't help but say: "Doctor, in our hometown, this is called losing power and humiliating the country." β
"Losing power and humiliating the country, a very apt metaphor, they are a bunch of puppets, a bunch of puppets who lose their power and humiliate the country."
The old man was a little frustrated, and the charter hurriedly diverted the topic: "Gentlemen, as soon as the press conference is held and the staff is recruited, there will be no suspense at the Berlin waste incineration power plant." The focus of our next work will undoubtedly shift to factories and R&D centers. Mr. Daniel continues to be in charge of negotiating with various associations, Manager Nguyen is responsible for recruiting engineers in electricity, electronics and instrumentation, etc., and I am in charge of recruiting R&D personnel. β
Cao Xuming asked eagerly: "What about me?" β
"You're in charge of keeping in touch with East German political groups such as Rise for Democracy and the League of Christians, who have the best chance of winning the election and will have some influence in future governments, so it's better to get in touch early than later."
"Isn't Daniel a better fit than me?"
Statute shook his head and said with great seriousness: "It seems to me that on the contrary, you are more suitable than him, you must know that we are a Hong Kong company, and if all German employees deal with the government, it will give the impression of ill intentions." If we want to invest, then we should be above board. β
"Zhang is right," Daniel sighed lightly, and said with a bitter smile of helplessness, "Now the major associations are skeptical of my personal position, and think that I am not a true German. It's unbelievable that they have such a strange idea. β
"That's because we touch their fundamental interests."
After a pause, he said firmly: "They are very old-fashioned, very old-fashioned, and at the same time very domineering, so we have to build the power plant no matter what, control the pollution emissions to an unprecedented level, and let them know what real competition is." And the speed should be fast, strive to connect to the grid within two years of power generation, and invest in the second and third power plants with real performance like a switch panel. β
Germany's waste-to-energy plants are also in their infancy, and it's still too late to catch up.
The board of directors is very determined, in addition to the 130 million East Marks, NB Electrician's original share cash-out income six months after the successful listing will also be invested in the German branch, and even ready to borrow more.
The power plant and the plant went hand in hand, and the first power plant applied the existing low-voltage electrical appliances, high- and low-voltage packages and transformers. After the first hit, we will seek a second power plant and a third power plant, absorb and digest the advanced technology of Germany and Japan, and concentrate on winning the difficulties such as generator sets, power plant automation systems, desulfurization and sewage discharge, so as to gain a firm foothold in the power industry in this way, and then further set foot in the field of thermal power and thermal power.
Thinking that the German factory that was about to be invested in was the real pilot plant, Zhang Junshan, who had been unable to speak, asked: "Charter, is it to transfer Lao Huang over?" β
"Technology sharing, there is no need to be so troublesome," the charter weighed up, and continued: "The key to restricting our development is the process, in contrast, it is more appropriate to transfer a few front-line production management personnel over." β
After talking about the matter, Jiang Meimei, who had been waiting for a long time, finally spoke: "Zhang Gong, what about us?" β
"Where to go back and forth, no one in the institute will teach themselves."
"But ......"
"No, you're not East Germans, so you don't have to think about all that mess. After the two Germans are truly reunified, there will inevitably be an arrangement for you. Go with the flow and don't rush it. β
Dr. Klinsmann, who was excluded from the Physics Research Center of the Academy of Sciences, gradually regarded himself as the director of the Berlin R&D Center of NB Electric, looking at Jiang Meimei's sad face, he couldn't help but smile: "Miss Jiang, Zhang is not joking with you, even if the new government really wants to abolish all research institutions, it will not easily abolish the Leipzig Institute of Computer Structure and Software Technology, after all, it is the only software research institute in East Germany, all you need to do is wait." β
"Okay, we'll go back tomorrow."
As soon as they saw off their colleagues, the female politician Angela also came back from outside, looking at the mountains of documents and materials on the table, Angela couldn't help but quip: "Zhang, you really don't plan to rent a decent office?" β
"West Berlin is too expensive, I don't know who to rent from East Berlin, why don't you help me figure it out?"
"Forget it, it's a mess outside, and I don't know who to turn to for this kind of thing."
The charter snorted and said, "So you can't drive me away for the time being." β
"A thousand marks!"
Angela stretched out his right hand and said matter-of-factly: "A large number of SMS are pouring into East Berlin, and prices are rising, and of course rents are going up. Zhang, as the largest shareholder of NB Electric, you won't be so stingy, right? β
The charter pretended to ponder for a moment, and then smiled: "If Dr. Angela asks for a thousand marks, I can only say no, because she has no reason to ask her friends for money; If the 'rise of democracy' requires political donations, I could have paid 1,000 marks, of course, in the name of NB Electric (Germany) GmbH. β
"What a little miser," Angela said, brushing his hair and pointing to the materials on the table, "Zhang, are you sure you are not interested in the future privatization process of East Germany?" β
"The property rights are not clear, it is easy to rip off, and I might as well build a new factory at that time, not to mention that they are all old machinery and equipment, even if they are bought, it is useless."
Angra was very disappointed, and said with a wry smile in frustration: "Even you think so, and West German companies must think so, it seems that the privatization process is not so easy." β
"Did something happen?"
"Today I met a couple of Americans, American Jews to be exact, and a couple of lawyers who claimed to inherit three factories in Dresden, and who were holding a couple of post-World War II contracts to demand the government's return. I believe that the factory used to belong to their family, but the factory now is completely different from the factory at that time, and after the Socialist Unity government took it back from them, it invested in expansion several times, and the scale was several times larger, if it was really given back to them, what would the workers do? β
Later reforms of East German state-owned enterprises also failed, and they failed completely.
For the sake of reunification, we can only cut through the mess quickly, and no one can solve this problem, so the charter sorted out the ideas and analyzed it in detail: "Doctor, I think you should look at all this from the perspective of economics. The new government has put on the agenda such harmonized measures as wage increases, the conversion of wages from East marks to West marks 1:1, and the transfer of pension calculation rules to West German rules. This meant that East German exporters would have to compete with West German companies in the same market in the same currency.
The results speak for themselves, and the East German exporters were defeated. With the reunification of Germany, East German companies will lose their traditional trading partners, such as the Soviet Union, and those that have hitherto used outdated machinery and equipment will have to go out of business. So even if you don't give it back to them, the result will still be the same. Doctor, as a politician, you have to be mentally prepared for this. β
With factories closing down and workers unemployed, Angela shuddered and blurted out, "Is there really no other way?" β
"This may be the price to be paid for reunification," the charter pointed to the map on the wall and reassured, "Doctor, not all people are as fortunate as you and your compatriots, look at South Korea and North Korea, they don't have the opportunity to pay such a price." β
To the surprise of the charter, Angra, who was a fledgling politician, actually showed the demeanor of a politician, and after thinking about it, he suddenly said: "Zhang, let's make a deal." β
"What deal?"
"I don't want a thousand marks, but I want to get a thousand people!"
