Chapter 42

As the flight attendant, Jurgen Angelina has been working on the first-class train from Leipzig to Dresden for three years. Yesterday her superiors gave her a major task to introduce the dbme double-decker bus to the socialist brothers from faraway China. Angelina happily accepted the task. In her opinion, the dbme double-decker bus designed by her father is the best train in the world.

Leipzig Central Station was built in 1899. During World War II, it was fortunate to avoid Soviet artillery fire and Allied bombings and preserve it to this day. The VIP waiting room at the station has been the temporary palace of William II, which is very distinctive in German traditional architecture. Liang Yuan sat on the soft sofa and admired the Baroque decoration in the house. Liang Haiping, beside him, was talking about official articles with the accompanying officials of the East German Foreign Trade Department.

There were also several eastern holes walking with Liang Yuan and his party. Looking at the leader's badge on his clothes, you knew it was from that country. I had never heard of a double-decker bus in North Korea. Liang Yuan thought in wonder.

At Liang Haiping's suggestion, the group walked up to the platform in advance and waited for the train to enter the station. A few minutes later, the red and white 243 electric locomotive pulled the light blue body of the dbme appeared in the distance. An official from the Foreign Trade Department of the Democratic Germany pointed to the train in the distance and said: "The dbme double-decker bus has more than 50 groups in operation in our country. Since it was launched in 1986, no fault has occurred."

After the 243-type head slid by, Liang Yuan took a look at the East German train marshalling. There were only 8 knots. After the train stopped, the sliding rail-type folding door quietly opened. The East German station used a high platform commonly used in the West. The platform and the train floor were flush with the train floor, so passengers could easily communicate between the train and the platform.

Liang Yuan was also the first time to board a dbme double-decker bus. The side walls of the car were milky white tones, and a dark red carpet was covered on the brown-yellow floor, and a row of milky rectangular lighting was inlaid in the middle of the top of the car. The light gray ** seats were arranged in the 2+2 way of civil aviation. After boarding the second floor of the car, the view suddenly became clear, and the large-area aluminum alloy windows looked pleasing to the eye. There were not many people in the car. Only one-third of the seats were full, and the seats were very well wrapped. What surprised Liang Yuan was that a small table was provided on the backrest of the front seats.

Just sat down. A blond woman with blue eyes in a brown dress came over and listened to the translator introducing the flight attendant named Angelina to Liang Haiping. Liang Yuan looked at the surging waves in front of him and wondered if I would be carried into my arms by this little cow if I was cute.

After the train started, Liang Haiping sat honestly in his seat, and gradually revealed the lines he had discussed with Liang Yuan last night to officials of the Foreign Trade Department in East Germany. Relying on his age and running around in the carriage, Liang Yuan roughly evaluated the bottom of the DBME in fifteen minutes. The decoration was similar to the 25b double-decker soft-seat bottom produced by the Nanjing factory in 1992. It is estimated that the reliability should be much better than that of the Nanjing factory.

I just don’t know how automation is. The bottom of the car in East Germany uses decentralized power supply. Each car has its own diesel engine, generator, and air conditioner. It is much more troublesome in maintenance than the bottom of the car with centralized power supply. Liang Yuan found the distribution room for managing the air conditioner at the far end of the car. He pushed the sliding door and found that it was locked.

Anjulina stood by the Chinese guest for a while, but she didn't see any signs of visiting the train. She decided to go back to the flight room to send a few coffees. When she got down the stairs, she saw that the oriental child was trying to push open the sliding door of the distribution room. Maybe she couldn't find the bathroom. Angelina walked over with a smile.

Liang Yuan was thinking about notifying his uncle for a while. When he went to the distribution room to check, he suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder. He turned around and saw the bright smiling face of the conductor named Angelina. The little cow in front of him was English, mixed in German, and gestured at the bathroom position. Looking at the surging waves in front of him, Liang Yuan finally couldn't help laughing. In his previous life, he would probably try his best to get this girl on the bed.

"Big sister, can I go in and take a look?" Liang Yuan asked in a pure Bonn accent.

Angelina covered her mouth in surprise and was stunned by the skillful German of the child in front of her. "Big sister, you look very sexy when you are surprised, so you don't need to block it."

"Oh, my goodness, how is this possible? This is not mentioned in the information."

"Life is like chocolate, you never know what the next piece tastes." Liang Yuan said angrily, "Okay, cute little brother, what should I call you?" Angelina calmed down and patted her forehead and asked, "Call me, Carl." Liang Yuan casually pulled out the name of Carl who had always been chatting with him in her previous life, but after saying that, Liang Yuan regretted it. About 90% of the German wolfdogs in China were called Carl in the 1980s and 1990s.

"However, I prefer the Chinese name my elder sister calls me." Liang Yuan's wretched uncle's soul emerged. Young women are basically unpretentious about Xiao Zhengtai. In just fifteen minutes, Liang Yuan turned his elder sister into Sister Anji, and taught the girl in front of him, rudely pronunciating the Chinese pronunciation of the word "Xiaoyuan", and then Liang Yuan mixed into the distribution room as he wished.

Looking at the electrical cabinets covered with instruments in front of him, Liang Yuan shook his head. It seemed that East Germany had not found a suitable bus, integrating all the systems of the train together. In the spirit of asking if you don’t understand, Liang Yuan asked all the functions of all instruments.

Although Angelina didn't know why the newly recognized little brother in front of her was interested in electrical cabinets, she patiently explained Liang Yuan one by one.

Liang Yuan recalled what he saw in his previous life that the Siemens PLC train monitoring system on the 25T model under the Bombardier-made 25T car for China has to admit that although the ideology is different, the thinking of the German nation is the same path. Apart from the lack of microcomputerization of this thing in front of him, there is no essential difference between the entire design idea and the Siemens system ten years later.

However, microcomputering this thing is probably enough for several years to work for me. Angelina looked at Liang Yuan and shook her head frequently and asked curiously: "Xiaoyuan, do you know this device?"

People are abroad. Liang Yuan is not afraid of being caught by someone as a guinea pig. He nodded and said, "This thing can be said to be advanced and backward." Looking at Angelina's curious expression, Liang Yuan pointed to his head and continued, "The thinking is good, the means are backward. Sister Anji has heard of computers. The future development direction of this system is the microcomputerization of all monitoring instruments."

"Oh, do all the elementary school students in your country look like you?" Angelina said in surprise: "You have the same opinion on this set of equipment and the train designer. Oh my God, Xiaoyuan, how old are you this year?"

"Of course not. I'm just particularly interested in mechanical and electronics since I was a child. Sister Anji knows the designer of this double-decker bus?"

"Of course, this double-decker bus was designed by my father. If you have the opportunity to meet, you will definitely have a lot of common language."

Liang Yuan was worried that he was not familiar with East Germany. Of course, he had to hold on to this kind of thigh that was delivered to him, and he used the method of picking up girls in his previous life. In a short while, he could understand Angelina's situation clearly.

"Ah, I've been chatting with you, and I forgot to cook the coffee?"

"Sister Anji, it's okay. The one above is my uncle. Just say I'll drag you to visit the car."

"How can that be? Work cannot be discounted," Angelina said with a smile.

After sending the coffee to the second floor, Angelina was caught by Liang Yuan on the grounds of visiting the carriage. After the train arrived in Dresden, Liang Yuan was already very familiar with Angelina. After leaving the address and phone number, the two of them said goodbye.

The Unified Locomotive Consortium is the largest railway equipment manufacturing enterprise in Democratic Germany. Its enterprises are spread throughout Democratic Germany. At its peak, the enterprise accounted for 75% of the global passenger bus export volume. The automation level of dbme double-decker buses is relatively high. Therefore, the consortium placed the double-decker buses in Dresden, the R&D base of East Germany's industrial automation technology.

The factory area of ​​unified locomotives is the same as that of large domestic enterprises. It is all Soviet-style cement factory buildings. The interior of the factory is different from some overgrown factories in China. It is very clean and tidy to highlight the unique rigor of the Germans.

After entering the factory, the North Korean representatives who had been with Liang Haiping and his group finally parted ways. Liang Yuan looked at several North Korean representatives surrounded by two staff members of the unified locomotive factory. He walked towards the other end of the factory, and then looked at the bustling group of people around him. He couldn't help but sigh...

The workshop automation level of the DBME double-decker buses is extremely high. The accompanying Dong-German translator pointed to the automated production line composed of several large welding equipment and said proudly: "It only takes 3 people to operate this welding production line to complete the main welding work of the vehicle body."

Liang Haiping was shocked by the automation level of East Germany. He listened to the translation's explanation of various equipment in the production line with envious expression. Liang Yuan followed Liang Haiping and looked calmly at the automated production line composed of cutting, forging, welding and other equipment in front of him.

East Germany is worthy of being the tenth-ranked industrial country in the world, and has achieved almost the ultimate in "hard" industrial automation. However, this kind of automated production line has a fatal weakness, which is that it is only suitable for mass production. One-sidedly speaking, the socialist camp is considered to be due to its prosperity and decline. Take the double-decker carriage for example. Now, even if the position of the door is changed by fifty centimeters, this production line must be scrapped and rebuilt. It is precisely because of this that the things produced in socialist countries have been rated as the style has not changed for decades, and the product problems have not changed for decades.

I have to find an opportunity to remind my uncle that when introducing technology, don’t just go back to China. We must emphasize localization modifications. The flexible production line that Western countries are now vigorously promoting is the future development direction.

Dresden is less than 200 kilometers away from Leipzig. After visiting the Unified Locomotive Consortium, the two returned to Leipzig that day.

Lying on the bed of the Leipzig Hotel, Liang Yuan looked at Liang Haiping with concentration and looked at the information he brought back from the Unified Locomotive Factory.

"Uncle, I don't need to look at that thing anymore. I don't plan to introduce their production lines intact."

Liang Haiping raised his head differently and asked: "A very advanced production line is much better than a railway overhaul."

"My uncle's thing has long fallen behind, but it just looks advanced." Liang Yuan told Liang Haiping about the characteristics of the flexible production line in his memory in his previous life.

"When my uncle talks about the contract tomorrow and the unified locomotive factory suggests, we need to untie all the automatic production units of the production line. Even if there is a large increase in operators, it doesn't matter."

"The flexible production lines promoted abroad require strong microcomputer support to succeed. Now no one studies this aspect in China. We can only rely on ourselves to explore it bit by bit. Instead of disassembling the production lines in the future, it is better to just do bulk."

Thinking about the current miserable situation of domestic state-owned enterprises, Liang Haiping understood the benefits of flexible manufacturing in a blink of an eye, and nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I just don't know if I will be regarded as a fool by the East Germans."

Liang Yuan thought about it and felt that his proposal was a bit funny and said, "My uncle said that we want to use the factory's existing equipment to produce the bottom of the vehicle. When the troops' equipment arrives, let East Germany send more experts to see and help us plan the production. What equipment is missing? It will be introduced from here."

The next day, negotiations on the introduction of the 243 head and double-decker bottom officially began in the conference room of the Honor Hotel, and Wang Haiyang, head of the Economic and Trade Group, also officially participated in the negotiations, giving the technology introduction a national name.

The DBME double-decker bus introduced Shangliang Haiping to a relatively high price, so the two sides agreed smoothly. The agreement framework was reached in just one day. Since the bus production line was not introduced, all 36 double-decker buses were placed in China for production. The Unified Locomotive Consortium will send a technical team of more than 50 people to be responsible for the transformation and integration of the equipment of the railway overhaul factory. The entire contract amount is as high as 90 million. In addition to the detailed drawings of the bus, the Unified Locomotive Consortium also transferred special steel smelting technologies such as bogies, wheel pairs, and high-weather-resistant car body steel. The overhaul factory uses equivalent daily necessities, clothing, shoes and hats to pay for goods such as goods.

The next day, we encountered big trouble when talking about the introduction of the 243 electric locomotive. Because Liang Haiping bought too few, Democratic Germany was unwilling to transfer relevant production technology. After Liang Haiping sold out that he could use the East German mark to buy Chinese consumer goods, East German was indeed interested, but the exchange rate issue was a hurdle that both sides could not get around. Finally, Liang Haiping launched a plan that he had discussed with Liang Yuan. If Democratic Germany could approve this technology transfer, Liang Haiping would invest in and establish a large supermarket chain in East Germany.

Democratic Germany in 1987 was much more tolerant of policy than domestic. As early as 1985, there were 180,000 private entrepreneurs in Democratic Germany. The transfer of the 243 electric locomotive technology or the establishment of a sole proprietorship in Democratic Germany alone was not a policy difficulty, it was just an economic issue of how much money it was. However, after the two things were linked, it was a bit troublesome for the officials of the Foreign Trade Department of Democratic Germany who participated in the negotiations. Such things that had no previous examples could only be reported to superiors for handling.

After hearing Liang Haiping talk about the negotiation situation, Liang Yuan smiled and said, "My uncle will finalize the first agreement. Then the task of our return to East Germany will be over. Whether the 243 electric locomotive can be transferred will be decided by East Germany at least one or two months later. This matter cannot be urgent. If it really doesn't work, let's talk separately. At worst, we can do reverse engineering after buying the 243 type."

Liang Haiping nodded and said, "If Democratic Germany does not agree to the transfer, what will Xiaoyuan do to build a large supermarket here?"

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "I am just a monk who hits the clock for one day. I will not bother to consider things now after one or two months. Let's talk about whether to build or not."

Liang Haiping smiled and said, "If I believe you, I will be a fool. When you see your eyes rolling around, you will definitely be thinking about it. If you don't say it, just watch it. You will sooner or later show your tail."

ps: I'm stuck, there are no two updates, I will continue to work hard. By the way, I'll check out foreign information so much, it's slow, okay, I won't find a reason, I'm guilty, and I'll continue to work hard to hit the two updates tomorrow^_!~!
