The Germans are proud, especially Siemens, which is known as the pride of German industry. They are even more proud in the field of electronic engineering.

In fact, Germans look down on Chinese people in their bones. For example, in the automotive field, Chinese people have been working with Germans for more than 20 years.

It was initially claimed that it was a market exchange technology, but over the past 20 years, what had been exchanged? Even the engine of a Jetta was unable to be replaced. Even the engine technology of this Jetta was too old and even domestic engineers could not stand it. They would not allow a small change to this engine.

This shows that people have contempt for our Chinese industry in the field of industrial high-tech.

This is especially true in the technology transfer of high-speed rail. Speaking of the various technologies of these high-speed rails in the international community, it is still the best among the Germans.

Several patented technologies, such as the design of the vehicle body in aerodynamics, high-speed switches, plate tracks, train control systems, inverters, converters, motors, and steering frames, etc.

Here, the Germans do the best in key core parts, such as steering frames, and train control systems.

When they first bid for a vehicle with a speed of 250 kilometers per hour, they dared to drive 350 million yuan per sample, and the technology transfer fee was 390 million euros, which was more cooperative with Chinese people. They knew that Chinese people like to fight in their homes and take advantage of small gains, so they dared to drive it out.

In their opinion, XXX party members, doing industry, simply want to show their achievements to the top, and do not necessarily care about the price. And as long as they give some money to the people in their negotiation team and do public relations, these people will definitely be able to pull themselves in the internal way, and they will definitely be able to get it.

Even if they are unwilling to spend money, they can be very tough on their own. At worst, they won’t transfer it to you. You are looking at other companies, such as Alstom in France, Kawasaki in Japan, Hinata, Hitachi, and Bombardier in Canada. They are all from our group.

If you don’t accept my blackmail, I will encourage them not to sell them to you at that time. What should you do?

But they still underestimated the Chinese people too much. It can be said that Minister Wang looked down on him too much, because Minister Wang could go abroad to inspect the international situation and not understand the international situation. He only went to inspect Las Vegas or the Netherlands, but he was quite familiar with the operation of the international railway company.

For example, when he chose the bidding opportunity, Alstom in France was on the verge of bankruptcy. If he could not get the international order, he would have to apply for bankruptcy like the French government.

The same is true for Japan's Kawasaki. Although it is known as the iron triangle of Japan's Shinkansen technology with Hinata, the resources behind them are not as strong as Hinata and Hitachi. They are almost bankrupt by these two peers in Japan.

Moreover, the high-speed rail technology with a speed of 250 kilometers per hour is not the top technology for them, that is, the second-class technology reserve. After all, after so many years of development, they have all technologies with a speed of 300 kilometers or even above 300 kilometers per hour.

So the Germans wanted to be here, and the Minister of the Black King went on to make a mistake. The price they offered was high, and the Ministry of Railways in China would not pay for it, and they would not even miss you.

But the French and Japanese couldn't stand it. They did not form an alliance with the Germans as tacitly as before, but instead sold their technology at an extremely low price. Now the Germans were stunned. What was their feelings smeared?

As a result, the senior Siemens executive who was in charge of this negotiation was recalled to China the next day and ate fried rice with squid.

The second time was the bidding for a high-speed rail project with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour. This time, the Germans learned the skills. At the beginning, each prototype was 190 million yuan and the core technology was transferred 80 million euros.

They are not learning more. In fact, they are scared of being cheated by the French and Japanese. They are afraid that they will be silent and directly this time, so they agree to the Chinese people's request. So, let's just put the price down a little, and maybe they can get a big order.

Minister Wang agreed without saying a word, but he was very happy, but the Germans didn't know that this time they had cheated the French and Japanese.

You should know that the French and Japanese have gradually recovered their vitality by relying on the orders of Chinese people in the past two years. They originally planned to raise their prices at this bidding meeting.

After all, the high-speed rail bidding this time is not 250 kilometers per hour, but technology with more than 300 kilometers. This is their real core technology and special skills. Originally, everyone planned to sell it at a good price.

But now it's so good. The Germans took the lead in exposing their trump card. Who can afford to play it?

As a result, the Japanese and French could only accept the offer from the Railway Department this time, and according to the quotation standards issued by the Chinese Railway Department to the Germans, they directly sold all their core technologies.

It won’t be possible if you don’t sell it. Are you just watching the Germans eat meat and themselves and the northwest wind?

These business negotiations here are simple to say, but when they are actually done, they still have to look at Minister Wang’s skills and the execution strength of his subordinates. This trick was really beautiful back then.

This trick of killing three soldiers with two peaches has earned the only core technology product that can be mentioned in the world later.

Because after obtaining the skills of these foreigners, Minister Wang also carried out his own technology integration.

For example, German goods were used on the train control system, Japanese technology was used on the nose, and wind tunnel tests were also carried out by themselves.

The front of the Japanese car is spliced ​​and welded with large pieces of iron sheets, while our machine head is directly stamped in Puhai after wind tunnel testing, using the world's largest hydraulic press.

Later, when our country's leaders were selling high-speed rails all over the world, the Japanese and Germans were silent this time.

You should know that FAW worked with the Germans for so many years, but later she was so angry that she directly used a German Jetta engine that had been old for 20 years, and was sued by others, which caused a lot of ups and downs throughout the world and was disgraceful.

But this time we used their most advanced technology, but they didn't dare to sue it. Why?

Because when we introduced the technology, we signed a complete core technology transfer agreement, and the most important thing is that after integrating the strengths of many of our directors, we made technological innovations on our own high-speed rail.

The high-speed rail, theoretical design, and even test speeds we produce can reach a maximum speed of 500 kilometers per hour, which is something that no one of them can do.

Even during long-term road tests, the technology can reach 380 kilometers without stopping, and run from Beijing to Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

You should know the situation in our country, but it is different from Germany, France and Japan.

The country's topography, because of its vast territory, is much more complex than their environment. In addition, there are also areas with high-altitude, high-latitude areas, mountains, rivers and many complex areas. However, our high-speed rail is capable of all, which is not comparable to the technology of the Germans and the Japanese?

This is also one of the reasons why they dared not sue us later. Even if they beat the lawsuit to the universe, they will lose.

Just a car that is not as fast as us can make them lose face. So when our country's leaders were promoting high-speed rail around the world, they could only say a few words of sour water, but they dared not take any practical actions.

The Chinese and foreigners negotiated countless times back then. Whether private or national, we can take advantage of it. However, it was the Minister Wang who looked not tall, had a slightly bald hair, and even looked a bit vulgar in appearance, which caused the Germans and the Japanese to suffer a great loss.

When building high-speed rail, there is not only external pressure, but also internal pressure is also considerable. When we started building this high-speed rail, domestic technicalists began to argue endlessly. One said that we would do wheel and rail technology, and the other said that we would do magnetic levitation. Anyway, no one could convince anyone.

In fact, at the root of the matter, the two major factions within the Railway Department, the Southern and Northern factions, are competing for power and profit, and are competing for economic interests.

Because no matter which side of the statement is, if you get the affirmation from the above, you will get the technical support from the above, get a lot of financial support, get a lot of corruption, and have the opportunity to put money in your pocket.

As a behemoth that has existed in China for decades, the internal relations are mixed. Leaders at all levels are all railway families with red backgrounds. Even Minister Wang can't afford to offend him.

If they kept up with this, even if Minister Wang survived to retire, the high-speed rail would probably be a fantasy that would be left on the drawings.

From this we can see that even if an official is already in a high position, the difficulties you want to do something practical, not to mention his pressure not only comes from the inside.

Outside the Railway Department, there are also foreign compradors of the expressway system and giants in the aviation industry, which are constantly suppressing these vested interest groups in high-speed rail in China.

If it were an ordinary official, I would probably just shout a few slogans and then turn my head back to be a turtle. Anyway, the more I did it, the more I made mistakes, and the more people I offended.
