“They made it?”

Albert turned to look at the people to whom Tabelle was referring.Among them are men and women, all of whom are Chinese, the oldest of whom looks to be in their fifties, and the youngest of whom is in their early 20s.Tabeler called them "cute young men", and of course he was right, because he was already a seventy-year-old man.

"Mr. Tabel is our teacher."The oldest man among the Chinese people spoke, and he was the chief engineer of the Yuqiu Zhong Zhuoyuan, who said, “Mr. Tabel came to us more than 20 years ago and taught us a lot of knowledge.”

“More than 20 years ago?”Albert's eyes were round.What story is this?Is it not because the Chinese are too high to seek technology from Marbury?How did it happen more than 20 years ago?

"Yes, more than 20 years ago."Zhong Zhuoyuan said, "At that time, China introduced the manufacturing technology of 5 MW natural gas compressors from Italy, and the technology was provided by Marbury, and the transferee was our Yubei Heavy Machinery Factory."It was Mr. Tabel, who was sent from Italy to guide us in the development of the five-megawatt compressor, and I was a student of Mr. Tabel.”

"No, no, no. You're all my teachers."Talber said modestly, turning to Albert and introducing, "Albert, you don't know that this workshop didn't exist at all, they only had a much smaller assembly workshop than this, and as for the equipment, that's all, I even saw the old-fashioned lathes of the twenties in their workshop."However, these lovely Chinese people, with these most rudimentary equipment, digested our Marbury technology and built a standard 5-megawatt natural gas compressor.As far as I know, the compressor was sent to a natural gas-producing area in western China for many years without any quality problems.”

“So, what’s going on again?”Maxwell also joined the conversation, and he already felt that something was wrong.

Listening to Maxwell ask about the present, Tabelle danced even more, and he said, "You may not believe it."Five years ago, my Chinese friends suddenly contacted me and said they intended to use the technology introduced from Marbury that year to develop a 20-megawatt long-distance natural gas compressor with independent intellectual property rights, and said that they would hire me as their technical consultant.I told them at the time that with their technical prowess, it was unrealistic to develop a 20-megawatt compressor.They introduced only 5 megawatts of technology, and Marbury has not developed 20 megawatts of technology to this day.”

“And then what?”Albert asked impatiently.

“Then they actually designed the 20-megawatt compressor and built a qualified prototype, which is a miracle.”Well, Albert, guess who designed this charming compressor."Tabelle asked as if to play with a baby.

“Is it you?”Albert asked, now confused, what interest is to guess the dumb mystery.Taber is a technical house and Italian, and he obviously does not help the Chinese to lie.He said that Yuhe has designed a 20-megawatt long-distance natural gas compressor and created a qualified prototype, so this matter must be true.Taber is not a person who has never seen the world, and the word "qualified" in his mouth represents a high standard, which means that the Chinese not only built the compressor, but also the compressor with a high level.

Taber did not notice Albert's disbelief, he smiled and said: "Haha, of course not me, my age can be the model of the chief designer, I am at best a consultant."

“Is that this respectable gentleman?”Albert also pointed to Zhong Zhuoyuan, in his mind, age represents seniority, since Zhong Zhuoyuan is the oldest Chinese, the model of the chief engineer should be him.

“No, no, not him!I also have great admiration for Mr. Chung's skill.”Tabelle said with a big smile, apparently he had long ago estimated that Albert was going to guess wrong.Without waiting for Albert to guess, he pulled a woman in his 30s and solemnly said to Albert and others: "The chief designer of this 20-megawatt compressor is the beautiful Ms. Jiang Yan, she is the most courageous and talented Oriental woman I have ever seen."Oh, the cake seller, why didn't I meet Ms. Jiang when I was young, and if I could be 30 years younger now, I would pursue her madly."

"Mr. Taber, you are laughing."Jiang Yan was embarrassed by the Western-style sensational way of Tabell, she raised her hand to pinch her hair in her ear, smiled at Albert and others, and calmly said: "I am glad to meet you, I am Jiang Yan, the model of the long-distance natural gas compressor weighing 20 MW, but the design work of this equipment is done by our colleagues in the team, and Mr. Tabel also gave us a lot of guidance."

"It's an honor to meet you, Ms. Jiang."Albert was a bit of a mess.Jiang Yan has an undisguised self-confidence, she does not seem to feel that she is so young to complete such a key model design what is great, and this calm feeling is the most terrible.It’s like a classmate getting a perfect score, and if he’s ecstatic, or if he’s happy, it’s just that his talent is just that.But if he behaves without feeling anything, and seems to be right, then you’d better kneel to him, because his realm has left you overwhelmed.

Several of them spoke in English, and Schleier could hear it right next to him.Seeing that Albert had some signs of kneeling, Schleier asked, "Ms. Jiang, take the liberty to ask, just now Mr. Talbell said that you have made a prototype of the compressor, can we observe it?"

"Of course."Waiting for Jiang Yan to answer, Zhong Zhuoyuan took over the words without hesitation, "the Planning Commission and the equipment company held a on-site meeting with us today, in order to show the experts the prototype we made."But the prototype did not stay in the assembly workshop, but in our test-taking workshop, if you are interested, I can take you through now."

Zhong Zhuoyuan said this, of course, not self-promotion, but in accordance with the prior orders of Wang Zhenbin and Feng Xiaochen.Here also have to add, Feng Xiaochen carefully designed such a scene, the purpose is to use the fact that the load has already made the compressor to force the company such as Himanze to reduce the price, as long as Albert and others do not have water, it should know that in the case that the Chinese have been able to build a qualified prototype, they can maintain a super high price of 140 million US dollars is completely impossible.The lethality of one prototype for their three companies is far better than the 100 letters of the Development Planning Commission.

For Yuhe, using his products to force competitors to reduce prices is not a pleasant thing.With the factory director Ren Changbao, the chief engineer Zhong Zhuoyuan's stupid opinion, it is best to hit the company such as Himanz without price reduction, so that the commission and they completely turn their faces, so that all compressor orders from West Gas East can fall into the hands of the heavy, even if calculated according to the heavy production cost, it is also a big business of tens of billions of yuan.If you want to calculate the price of companies such as Himanz, it can almost reach tens of billions of dollars.

However, the ideal is the ideal, Ren Changbao, Zhong Zhuoyuan they still understand that their products are not so strong, production capacity is still limited, it is impossible to eat such a large order, the country must first from the Himanz, Shuang Luo, Tongyong these foreign companies to purchase a number of compressors.At least in the first and second phases of the West-East Gas Transmission project, mainly rely on imported compressors, Yuhe can only win a few orders, to obtain a practical verification opportunity.

Since it is impossible to squeeze out several foreign companies, then Yuhe can only cooperate with Feng Xiaochen's acting, can force the foreign devils to reduce prices, but also as a contribution to the country, the future wants to get more orders, the country and the weight of today's credit, naturally will give more sweetness.What's more, Feng Xiaochen also made a verbal promise when he asked them to play, that is, if Himans and other companies agreed to reduce the price, the National Development Commission can save a lot of money, he will personally come forward to win a large number of technical transformation investment, as a return to the rest.

With such a commitment, can the heavy cadres still have no enthusiasm?Zhong Zhuoyuan pulled Jiang Yan, Tabel and others to the venue to chat, the purpose is to catch Albert and others, and then let Talbel personally tell them about the re-created compressor.Now that the effect seems to have been achieved, it is enough to take Albert and see the test scene in the experimental workshop, which is enough to make them die.

Albert and his party followed Zhong Zhuoyuan, Jiang Yan and others to the experimental workshop, and finally saw the compressor prototype that Tabel said.It is now running rumbling, simulating real working conditions.Around the test bench, there are a variety of test equipment, measuring pressure, vibration measurement, noise measurement, and more.Next to these test equipment is busy, is a group of young-faced technicians, who are skillful and attentive, and do not put Albert and other unexpected guests in their eyes.

Without the instructions of Albert and others, the technicians they brought were scattered around the test stand and began to observe the prototype with a professional eye.The layman looked at the lively, the insiders looked at the doorway, and the technicians who accompanied Albert were all senior engineers in their respective companies, and any pseudo-fear could not escape their eyes.Zhong Zhuoyuan dared to take these people to the experimental workshop and let them see the actual test site, which in itself represented an attitude, that is, not to be afraid of the other party to see the flaws, because there is no breakthrough at all.

Albert, Maxwell, and Schleier looked at the scene and grew colder in their hearts.
