361 Sister Lin, a talented girl
Xu Zhimo is infatuated with Lin Huiyin, probably similar to Jin Yong's infatuation with Xia Meng, right?
In just a moment, Situ Nanda felt in his heart that the woman in front of him had a kind of magic that people liked. Of course, this magic can also make other women feel uncomfortable.
"Hello Sister Lin! I've always wanted to know you, a talented woman. β
Situ Nan smiled, his mood was excited, and Sister Lin blurted out a sentence. He thought to himself: Could it be that his charm has already shocked Goddess Lin? Well, thanks to the rise of great powers! (Thanks to CCAV.) οΌ
"Mr. Situ is so funny!" Lin Huiyin was teased by Situ Nan, his face was slightly red, he lowered his head slightly, and he was a little shy.
However, she had a strong ability to adjust in her heart, and soon regained her calm and cordiality, raised her head and glanced at Situ Nan again, and found that although the man in front of her teased herself as soon as they met, his eyes were clear, and he did not have the desire to worry about.
She said again: "In front of Sister Song, I don't dare to call a talented girl!" Sister Song is the real heroine! β
"I think so too, hehe. I'm not as learned as your father exaggerated, so I've never dared to show my face. Yesterday, your M-aged sister made fun of my words! β
Situ Nan smiled and praised Song Mling, compared to the fresh Lin Cainu, the royal sister is his favorite.
"You, your mouth is sweet." Song Mling did not hesitate to show her intimate relationship with Situ Nan, and gave Situ Nan a gentle glance. Hearing Situ Nan praise himself, the jealousy that he had just accidentally generated immediately disappeared.
"I don't know about you yet, you love keyboards more than pens, whether it's typing or playing the piano. There are few better than you! β
Song Mling also praised Situ Nan for getting up.
Lin Huiyin paid attention to Cheese Tu Nan's fingers. Slender and healthy. It seems that it is really different from those friends she knows, and through the words of Song Mling, she judged that Situ Nan was a very modern person, and very intelligent, not just some literary talent.
Being able to stand with Song Mling also shows that he is very powerful, but he is not well known to himself.
This is a mysterious man, unlike Xu Zhimo. Unlike Liang Sicheng or even Hu Shi, he can see through it himself. Well, it's even more mysterious than his own father.
Lin Huiyin secretly made a comparison.
Song Mling didn't know Lin Huiyin's thoughts, she took Lin Huiyin's hand affectionately, and suddenly grasped the initiative of the conversation.
In terms of communication, Sister Song Yu is much stronger than Sister Lin. Although Sister Lin may have always been the star of her circle of friends.
Situ Nan secretly concluded in his heart.
"Sister Lin, I heard that you went to the United States to study architecture and returned to China together, why didn't you see your Liang Gongzi today?" Song Mling asked.
"He came, and just ran into Mr. Mao Yisheng. I chased after Mr. Mao Yisheng. This nerd. Lin Huiyin replied with a smile. If it weren't for her father pulling her over to see Situ Nan, she would have gone to chat with Mao Yisheng at this time.
"Nerd? Liang Gong knows that you are saying this about his son. Beware of his displeasure! Song Mling teased and shifted the topic to Lin Changmin beside him, "But don't be afraid of Liang Gong, Mr. Lin is not a vegetarian, is he?" If Mr. Lin doesn't make decisions for you, my sister will help you! β
"How can my sister say it so strictly! But I still want to thank Sister Song for giving me an insurance. Lin Hui mentioned his fiancΓ© Liang Sicheng, and the words gradually increased.
During the conversation, several people also talked about what they had seen and heard in the United States, although it was not long, but the conversation was still pleasant, and they were deeply impressed by each other, until Lin Yimin came to find Situ Nan, Situ Nan politely walked away, leaving Song Mling and the Lin family father and daughter to continue chatting.
"Speaking of architecture, Sister Lin, you may not know that William University, where you and Liang Gongzi studied, was donated by Mr. Situ just now."
"Huh?" Lin Huiyin opened his mouth wide, and Song Mling's words shocked Lin Huiyin, she never thought that William University would be associated with Mr. Situ Nan.
There are many Chinese students at William University, this American university is the most friendly to Chinese students, Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng's first choice for studying abroad was originally the University of Pennsylvania, but unfortunately the Department of Architecture of the University of Pennsylvania does not admit female students, so the two transferred to the Department of Architecture of the University of William, which recruits female students.
"Surprised, huh? Hehe, William is actually Situ Nan's English name. Song Mling explained.
Lin Huiyin was relieved that when she was at William University, she had always been curious about the legendary school trustee, teachers and classmates said that the donor who built the school for them was mysterious and wealthy, and liked China very much, otherwise how could he recruit so many Chinese students and provide them with scholarships?
After Song Mling left, Lin Huiyin turned his head to his father Lin Changmin and said, "Today is an eye-opener, father, should we thank the mysterious Mr. William in person?" β
"Hmm. You're welcome. But don't expect too much, Mr. Situ is not something that can be seen ordinarily, even if he is a father, it is not easy to see him. β
Lin Changmin said.
"Hui Yin, I have good news for you, I have just talked to Mr. Mao Yisheng, and he intends to invite me to join his architectural firm."
Just when Lin Huiyin was at a loss, a bookish-eyed man came to her excitedly, he was Liang Sicheng.
"Architectural firms?"
Mr. Mao is preparing to set up a state-of-the-art architectural firm, which is likely to be commissioned to design a second Yangtze River bridge! I didn't expect that we would get such a good opportunity just after returning to China, and it was great to be able to apply what we had learned. β
Liang Sicheng's face was full of excitement, looking at his fiancΓ©e with pride, life seemed to have opened a door full of hope for this man.
β¦β¦
Pressing the celebration banquet to promote Liang Sicheng These hesitant builders aside, Situ Nan returned to the small reception room, and the topic of discussion was more far-reaching than a certain project.
"You called me too early just now, and I haven't had time to ask Lin Changmin about Wang Geng's news? You know that the Lin family father and daughter have just come from Shanghai. It is said that when Lin Huiyin and Liang Gongzi returned to China, there was a small sensation in the Shanghai Cultural Festival? They must have a better understanding of the situation in Shanghai. β
Situ Nan said to Lin Yimin with some complaints.
"I didn't expect you to care about these gossips, young master, then again. Their gang has a complicated relationship. What's better than the story? β
Lin Yimin said lightly.
"You don't know? Wang Geng heard that he was going to get a divorce. Shanghai's construction plan is at a critical juncture. In addition, Shanghai is the center of our economy, the consortium has invested so many resources, but Shanghai is so complicated, I don't want the generals I value to go wrong and suffer losses. β
Situ Nan worried. I thought: If it happened to me, maybe I would kill someone!
Seeing Lin Yimin's puzzled face, Situ Nan popularized the most exciting N-angle love plot in the history of the Republic of China, and left many legends for later generations of infatuated men and women.
Putting aside the emotional drama between several people, people like Wang Geng and Zhang Youyi actually have close economic interests with the Meihua Foundation.
Lin Yimin was also a little surprised after hearing this. While shaking his head, he seemed to be thinking that Wang Geng was not worthy: "A talented woman is a woman, especially if she can't do practical things, a talented woman has no other benefits except for making trouble." β
"Well, very pragmatic idea, I'm inferior to you in this regard." Situ Nan smiled and nodded, "Then again, in this era of change, many people can't even control their fate. Not to mention love? β
Suddenly, I thought of Song Ziwen very gossipy, if I hadn't met myself. The Song family made a fortune earlier than history, and it is estimated that Song Ziwen will also become one of the protagonists of the Republic of China romance drama, right?
The world is too small, and for those talented and beautiful people who are excited about future generations, they actually know a lot, and they can barely step into the cultural circle with half a foot. For example, Zhang Youyi, such as Wang Geng, except for Lin Huiyin, who just met, the first two seem to be tragic characters.
Forget it, let's have a chance to talk to Wang Geng after I arrive in Shanghai - buddy, you should be one of the protagonists of the historical drama of the Republic of China, and you must not degenerate to act in Qiong Yao drama!
Situ Nan threw off the idea in his head, and the next thing he had to face was Zhang Jingjiang, Song Weichen, and other business giants.
When meeting with Song Weichen of Wuhan Iron and Steel Group and Zhang Jingjiang of China Railway Corporation, it was natural to discuss the impact of the completion of the Yangtze River Bridge on the Hanyang Iron Works and the China Railway Corporation, as well as the follow-up construction planning.
Situ Nan especially praised Song Weichen, and said to Song Weichen: "I didn't expect Hanyang Iron Works to digest the technology of Bethlehem Iron and Steel Company so well, and be able to produce high-quality I-beams, which not only meets the needs of domestic bridge construction, but also may obtain foreign orders." β
"Oh?" As soon as Situ Nan said, Song Weichen became interested, and the victory of Wuhan Iron and Steel Group with Hanyang Iron Works as the core in technology and market gave him enough confidence to dominate the domestic steel market and then enter the international market.
"The U.S. government is ready to build a bridge across the sea in San Francisco Bay!" Situ Nan said with a smile.
"Huh? O America! Song Weichen was originally very excited, but when he heard that it was the United States, he immediately shook his head, "That's the territory of the United States Steel Company and the Bethlehem Steel Company, and they can't grab people!" β
"Don't be presumptuous, since the steel used for heavy projects such as the Yangtze River Bridge is made by Hanyang Iron Works, at least it shows that Hanyang Iron Works has the qualifications to compete with international giants. I knew it would be difficult to get an order from the Americans, but it didn't hurt to lose the bid, and it was just right for us to make a name for ourselves. β
Situ Nan encouraged. Of course, he also knew in his heart that Hanyang Iron Works could not compete with Bethlehem Iron and Steel Company.
"Okay." Song Weichen nodded, keeping this matter in mind.
Then Situ Nan and Zhang Jingjiang talked about the construction of the southern railway network, and in general, the progress of the planned railway artery project has reached 60%, and the construction of the southern railway network in the first five-year plan should be completed in the next two years.
"The railway projects in East China and Jiangnan are progressing smoothly, but the railway into Sichuan is disturbing, and it is likely that it will not be completed on time, and there are too many tunnels. However, the Chengdu-Chongqing railway can be optimistic. β
Zhang Jingjiang said with a frown.
The railway into Sichuan, especially from Yichang to Sichuan, Situ Nan naturally knew how large the amount of work was, and the Chinese engineering corps where he was in his previous life used all kinds of advanced equipment, and he was also made to the blood.
"After the dredging of the waterway in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the transportation capacity has been greatly improved, and the transportation pressure is not so great, and the Yichang section of the railway can also be released."
When Situ Nan saw Zhang Jingjiang crying bitterly, he probably understood in his heart that he was reluctant to build a railway from Wuhan to Sichuan, and it was really not cost-effective to spend precious funds in countless tunnels in the mountains, mountains, mountains, mountains, and mountains, so it was better to use the funds to develop the more resource-rich north.
Zhang Jingjiang still had a question, and after discussing it with Song Weichen, he couldn't pay attention to it, so he asked Situ Nan: "The steam locomotive is inefficient, and it is replaced by a diesel engine and a steam turbine." I know that the locomotive in Nanhua uses a diesel engine, but the domestic oil production is limited, and if the diesel locomotive is used, the cost will be relatively high.
I think the steam turbine is good, and coal can be used instead of diesel, but the steam turbine technology is relatively high, and the Yangtze Machinery Company in Wuhan is not prepared for this. β
"So what?" Situ Nan asked with a smile. DOMESTIC RAILWAYS ARE DESIGNED ACCORDING TO HIGH SPECIFICATIONS, A LARGE NUMBER OF CONCRETE AS ROADBEDS, RAILS AT LEAST 60KG/M OR MORE, RAIL STRENGTH, HIGH LOAD-BEARING, ZHANG JINGJIANG INTENDS TO INCREASE THE SPEED OF THE RAILWAY TO 60 KM/H.
Situ Nan is very happy that Zhang Jingjiang can take into account the problem of fuel costs, but he is more forward-looking than anyone else for the direction of technology development, the miniaturization of steam turbine technology is difficult, if it can be used to make locomotives, then it can also be installed on warships, so he said: "It is really luxurious to use the technology of warships in train locomotives, the cost is too high, Meihua Electric has spent a lot of money on the use of steam turbine technology for thermal power generation, and there is no spare energy to carry out research on locomotives for the time being."
Since Nanhua already has mature diesel engine technology, why not adopt it?
As for the cost of diesel, this is not a problem. Nanhua is one of the world's largest oil producers, and can supply enough crude oil to the country, compared to gasoline, diesel is still relatively small, and the price is also cheap, and it is just right for trains. β
What is the use of diesel more today? Warships, high-speed passenger ships, and trains, there are still a large number of trains and cargo ships in the world that are powered by coal.
"Now is the period when the internal combustion engine gradually replaces the steam engine, we must decisively abandon the steam engine, and adopt more advanced internal combustion engine and electric power in the production field. At the same time, the petrochemical industry is also a key area for our development. β
Situ Nan said earnestly, hoping that Song Weichen and Zhang Jingjiang, the two "turtles", would listen to their words well.
As for the electrification of railways, Situ Nan did not mention it, because even trains with speeds of up to two or three hundred kilometers per hour in those days were only of a real nature.
Germany's Siemens played a better game in this regard, and the Japanese were not far behind, and the Manchurian Railway built an electrified railway with a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour. In the future, if Japan is disabled, whether the Japanese Shinkansen will still appear is another matter. (To be continued......)
