reborn in the fiery age

In order to achieve the goal, the Ministry of Railways has made a rigid regulation that the companies participating in the bidding must be companies that have signed complete technology transfer contracts with foreign companies.

If this is not achieved, of course, the bid qualification will be lost, and foreign partners will naturally lose the opportunity to enter the Chinese high-speed rail market.

At that time, the number of EMUs in China's one-time bidding was as high as 140. This was the largest number of EMUs in the history of high-speed rail in the history of the world. What's more, this was only the EMU for the sixth major speed increase. A high-speed railway network of more than 1 kilometers in four vertical and four horizontal directions has just been planned.

At that time, the caliber of the world's major consulting agencies was very unified, and Huaguo had become the world's largest market for high-speed railways.Therefore, for these international giants in the industry, no one can afford the major blow brought about by the failure of the bidding.This is a huge temptation, and it is this huge temptation that brings them step by step to the road planned in advance by the Ministry of Railways.

Signing a technology transfer contract is a mandatory condition, but how and to what extent the technology is transferred still requires the two companies in Huaguo to negotiate with the foreign party.

Of course, in order to ensure the ultimate success, the Ministry of Railways also set up a firewall called technology transfer implementation evaluation, which is a very classic overlord clause.

That is to say, when the contract is implemented to a certain stage, the Ministry of Railways will evaluate the effect of technology transfer implementation.The objects of evaluation are Sifang Stock and Changke Stock.

Although you won the bid, the Ministry of Railways will not pay the money first. As teachers, foreign cooperative enterprises must teach skills to Huaguo enterprises. The Ministry of Railways does not assess how well the teachers teach, but how well the students learn. If domestic enterprises have not learned well, they still cannot get money.

Therefore, foreign companies should not only teach with their heart, but also be afraid of encountering stupid students, because even if he tries his best to teach with his heart, if the stupid students can't learn, his money will still be wasted.No way, these foreign teachers had to take out all the work that was under pressure.

Facing the two peaches of Sifang Co., Ltd. and Changke Co., Ltd., the competition from industry giants from Germany, Japan, and Gaul is still very fierce.

Representing Germany is Siemens, representing Gaul is Alstom, and representing Japan is a consortium of six companies including Kawasaki Heavy Industries, known as the Great Alliance of Japan.

Among the three international companies, Sifang flirts with Wa Guoda United Heavy Industry, and then flirts with Alstom; Changke flirts with Siemens and at the same time flirts with Alstom.

Alstom was originally the company that exported the most high-speed EMUs at that time, but their EMU research and development has always followed the power-concentrated route, mostly using articulated bogies, and the Ministry of Railways’ bidding requires that the EMUs must be power-dispersed. , while the bogie cannot be articulated.

Therefore, in the face of the Huaguo market, Alstom was at a disadvantage. In addition, the Japanese National Alliance and Siemens seemed to show that they had a private life with their partners, which made Alstom anxious, jumping up and down, like a The "little three" who are not dedicated to love will flirt with the Quartet for a while, and flirt with the long-term guests for a while.

At this time, the relationship between Huaguo and Waguo was at a low point. The Internet was full of opinions against the introduction of Shinkansen technology. Some people said that if Huaguo introduced Shinkansen technology when building high-speed rail, they would launch a boycott movement.The Chinese side is more worried about what to do if the project is halfway through and the relationship between China and Japan further deteriorates and the project is forced to be suspended.

At the same time, there is also opposition in Japan to the transfer of Shinkansen technology to Hua.But Huaguo's cake is too big. Faced with such a temptation, Waguo finally gave in.

They agreed to transfer to Huaguo Sifang only the technology of the 200km/h Shinkansen, not the technology of the 300km/h Shinkansen, and the technology was transferred to Kawasaki Heavy Industries, which has never exported high-speed rail technology.

Now that the ball has been kicked to Huaguo's side, facing the conditions offered by Waguo, Minister Ding thought about it and called Sun Zujie. Although he was ready to accept Waguo's technical plan, if he got Sun Zujie's support, he It will also reduce a lot of stress.

Hearing Minister Ding's description, Sun Zujie did not agree or disagree, but asked clearly, "Old Ding, on the basis of the imported EMU platform with a speed of 200 kilometers per hour, he independently developed an EMU with a speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour. , do we have this ability?"

Minister Ding immediately replied, "Comrade Zhang Poxiao, deputy director of the High-speed Railway Office, believes that we can do it as long as we increase investment!"

"I'll come over tomorrow, and you guys will report to me on the spot!"

The next day, Sun Zujie came to the Ministry of Railway Transportation, accompanied by many old experts of the railway transportation system in Beijing.Sun Zujie and these experts listened to Zhang Poxiao's technical report as judges.

Zhang Poxiao made a two-hour report on Huaguo's current technical shortcomings, the approximate technology that Waguo can provide, where are the gaps, which ones we can make up for, which ones still need to be tackled, and which ones require technology introduction. With sufficient investment, it is possible for us to independently develop a high-speed EMU with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour.

After Zhang Poxiao's report was over, the experts who came with Sun Zujie began to ask questions, but Sun Zujie heard it. The mainstream opinion of these experts was that they didn't believe it and thought it was exaggeration.

Now Huaguo can only be said to have just reached the edge of the high-speed railway, and the technology is very unstable. If you buy a 200-kilometer platform, you dare to brag that you can achieve more than 350 kilometers. How dare you brag!

Sun Zujie didn't make a sound all the time. Seeing that everyone was getting louder and louder, he said with a smile, "It's better to have a bird in the hand than a hundred birds in the forest. Let's talk about the 200-kilometer technology of the Japanese country!"

Can you develop next-generation technology on this platform, of course you have to give it a try!Even if it fails, it’s okay, at least we know where we can’t do it, and future research will be more targeted! "

After Sun Zujie was confirmed, the experts stopped talking, and when the members of the central meeting were confirmed, what else would others have to say.Sun Zujie said with a smile, "Comrade Lixiao, I heard that you made the negotiation plan this time?"

"Yes!"

"You will also lead the development of the next generation of high-speed EMUs with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour?"

"Yes!"

Sun Zujie took out a business card from his arms and handed it to Zhang Poxiao, "This is my personal business card. If you encounter any difficulties, you can contact me directly, whether it is financial or technical!"

After finishing speaking, Sun Zujie smiled, and then continued, "When the research and development is successful, when will you be an academician of the two academies of Huaguo!"

Excited, Zhang Poxiao burst out, "Really?"

"Really!" Sun Zujie said with a smile, "I personally recommend it to you. I believe that the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering still sell me this face!"

After Sun Zujie finished speaking, he ignored the experts around him, but strode out. Minister Ding smiled slightly, and immediately followed.

And these experts who followed Sun Zujie looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't understand why Sun Zujie would rather believe such a big talker than them, the tried and tested old experts.

Sun Zujie knew their questions, but he didn't answer them, because in his memory, Zhang Poxiao did it. In this case, for the better development of the high-speed rail, he must alleviate the resistance for him.

When he did this today, everyone knew that Zhang Poxiao was favored by Sun Zujie. In the future, he would encounter much less resistance at the Ministry of Railways. Similarly, Zhang Poxiao is definitely not stupid, and he will definitely increase his relationship with Huatou. Cooperation is also in the interests of Huatou.

As for these old experts, old professors, Sun Zujie actually didn't pay much attention to them.Because of the eighties and 90s, the gap between China's scientific community and foreign countries is too great in some fields, especially in the transportation industry, aircraft, automobiles and trains.

Many people are no longer able to engage in academics, but they are very capable in robbing scientific research funds as a schoolboy, which makes Sun Zujie quite a headache, but for various reasons, he can't be beaten or scolded, so in some fields, he has to resolutely choose young people. People take the lead and resolutely implement the replacement of old and new.

After Sun Zujie left, Minister Ding came to Zhang Poxiao's side triumphantly, and patted his partner on the shoulder fiercely, "Xiao Zhang, you will have no worries in the future, but you must do well!"

Kuang Guowu quickly found out about Sun Zujie's actions at the Ministry of Railways. He shook his head, picked up a document with a wry smile, and put the matter behind him.

Sun Zujie's status in the academic world is too high. During his time at Huatou, he made great contributions to Huaguo's scientific research and established a complete set of modern research and development systems. There are countless top scientists working under Sun Zujie.

No one dares to easily veto any decision made by such a person, even in the central, military and high-tech industries, once Sun Zujie speaks, basically other bigwigs will not refute.

In recent years, the country has invested heavily in the field of military industry and high-tech research and development, and most of these huge funds have been handed over to Sun Zujie.Sun Zujie also arranged in an orderly manner, but there are also problems, such as his excessive favoritism for some projects, such as the fact that he employs a large number of young people, such as that he has launched some incredible new projects, so there is still a lot of discussion about him in the academic circles.

But it’s useless to talk about it. Because of Sun Zujie’s political status, most people dare not criticize him in front of him. Of course, there are exceptions. For example, Kuang Guowu is one of them.

It's just that Kuang Guowu did not participate in what happened in the railway transportation system. The reason is very simple. The lines are like mountains, some people say yes, some people say no, just try it.Now that the country's fiscal revenue is getting higher and higher, and the room for fault tolerance in scientific research is also increasing, in this case, let Sun Zujie be a little willful.

It's just that Kuang Guowu currently has a very difficult problem, that is, graphene, a highly confidential and unusual new material, has been developed for ten years, but there are still many problems in large-scale industrialization.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible to rely on the power of Huaguo alone. The best way is of course for the whole world to participate in the research, gather the strengths of all families, and study together.

In this way, a large number of technical patents accumulated by Huaguo in the past ten years can come in handy. Another point is that Huaguo people can win a Nobel medal. It can be said that this is a great thing for both fame and fortune.

Kuang Guowu signed the report of Huatou 1001 to express his agreement, and then the report will be handed over to Sun Zujie, who will make the final arbitration.

When Sun Zujie saw the report, he also approved the same. Liu Haibin, the researcher who used the stripping method to obtain graphene, is over 40 this year, and he should get this honor that belongs to him. That would be a pity.

Just when Sun Zujie rushed to Xiadu, Huaguo scientists announced the existence of graphene to the outside world, and at the same time applied for numerous international patents for this new material.After receiving accurate information, Huatou Research Institute once again became the focus of world attention.

After seeing these patent application information, industry experts immediately judged that it was not a day or two for Huaguo people to discover graphene. In this field, they had already achieved a very huge lead.

Of course, this is not acceptable to Europe and the United States, so the next patent licensing negotiations will naturally be very intense. At the same time, the surprise of Huatou is not only a problem of the American scientific and business circles, but also the entire American empire. The problem.

An article in the NY Times described it like this, what is Huatou?The largest state-owned investment group in Huaguo, affiliated to the Government Affairs Council, owns the largest state-owned investment company in Huaguo, the top three banks, the largest insurance company, and the largest securities company in the financial field...

In the industrial sector, Huatou is the largest real estate company in Huaguo, the largest electronics company in Huaguo, the largest aircraft manufacturing company, the largest pharmaceutical company, the largest gas power company, the largest machinery heavy industry and electrical company, and ranks among the top three Air transport company...

Of course, these biggest ones may be nothing. The most frightening thing about Huatou is that they represent the technological commanding heights of Huaguo.They can produce Huaguo's most advanced third-generation fighter jets, they are developing Huaguo's second civilian mainline aircraft, and they are developing Huaguo's advanced military engines...

Even in the civilian field, they also have the world's largest manufacturer of household appliances, the world's largest lithium battery manufacturer, the world's largest LCD panel manufacturer, the world's top six chip foundries and memory manufacturers...
