Rebirth 1981 starts with saving the sisters from the neighboring village.

On this day, Peng Wanhua was holding a banquet in the manor to celebrate the undergraduate graduation of Peng Lingmin and Peng Yingyue.

One of them studied literature and the other studied history and cultural relics.

They all had excellent character and academic performance, and completed their studies in just two years.

Therefore, Peng Wanhua specially invited relatives and friends to the manor to celebrate for them.

He glanced around and suddenly realized that his second sister was not there.

He asked his eldest sister in confusion, "Why didn't the second sister come?"

Peng Wanmei waved her hand and said, "Don't mention it. The European Union is launching an antitrust lawsuit against Huazhan Heavy Industry, and she is there to take charge."

"EU's antitrust measures against Huazhan Heavy Industry?" Peng Wanhua wondered.

Peng Wanmei: "Yes, according to Xiaolan, it was about the tunnel boring machine."

"Tunnel boring machine?" Peng Wanhua was even more confused.

Peng Wanmei slowly explained: "Previously, the starting price of European tunnel boring machines sold in China was 3.8 million yuan per unit, and that did not include after-sales service."

"If it breaks down and needs after-sales repair, the labor cost alone will be $3000 a day."

"In addition, the German engineers did not allow Chinese personnel to be present when the equipment was being repaired, and the entire process was kept secret."

"The Germans are so arrogant that they even said that even if China were given 100 years, it would not be able to build such a tunnel boring machine."

"As a result, within two years of this boast, Huazhan Heavy Industry launched a domestic brand of shield machine."

"And the price was reduced directly from 3.8 million to less than 2.9 million, only million per unit."

"Just like that, Huazhan Heavy Industry's shield machine directly knocked the German shield machine to the ground."

"Nowadays, domestic shield machine orders are basically monopolized by Huazhan Heavy Industry."

"As for overseas, especially Europe, Huazhan Heavy Industry has won half of the orders with its excellent quality and service."

"German shield machine companies could not stand it anymore and launched an antitrust investigation with the European Union and took Huazhan Heavy Industry to court."

Qin Ying, who was standing by, heard the conversation and added, "This year was the time when Huazhan Heavy Industry's shield machine performance exploded, but it ended up being tricked by Europe."

She is now the vice president of the Hong Kong Science Academy, and this matter actually has something to do with her.

Peng Wanhua: “Tell me in detail.”

秦瑛继续道：“鹏城地铁的1号线和4号线，总里程为22公里，于去年底12月28日建成并投入运营。”

"The shield machines of Huazhan Heavy Industry were used in the construction of Pengcheng Metro. In the previous projects of Xuefeng City Metro and Xueshan Village Commercial Street, the shield machines of Huazhan Heavy Industry performed brilliantly and were widely praised by customers."

"After being tested by the market, basically all orders from all over the country came to Huazhan Heavy Industry. Orders from Europe were also won by Huazhan Heavy Industry one after another."

"It is said that Huazhan Heavy Industry currently has orders for more than 150 shield machines, which, based on 2.9 million, is worth about 450 billion!"

"The Germans were definitely not happy about that. They accused Huazhan Heavy Industry of dumping and monopolizing the market, and they launched an antitrust lawsuit without any moral principles."

Peng Wanhua nodded.

Westerners have always been like this. When they can't compete or afford to make a profit, they start finding all kinds of faults and filing lawsuits.

Especially for a market like tunnel boring machines worth hundreds of billions, it would be strange if they were willing to give up this piece of fat meat.

Hearing this, he was no longer surprised.

"But how do you know so much?" he asked Qin Ying.

Qin Ying said: "The shield machine project is a project developed jointly by our Academy of Sciences Automation Research Institute, Huazhan Heavy Industry, and Wanhua University School of Mechanical Engineering."

"For example, the core active shaft technology of the shield machine was jointly developed by Huazhan Heavy Industry, Wanhua University, and the Automation Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

"Now the three of us are still sharing this patent. For every shield machine sold, we charge a 5% patent fee, which is about 1500 million yuan, and each company gets 500 million yuan."

Peng Wanhua immediately understood. No wonder Qin Ying knew it so clearly.

Qin Ying looked at him and probably had no impression of him at all. She couldn't help but frown and complain:

"I have approved all these major projects for you, but you don't remember them? It seems like you are really just a hands-off boss now, haha~(￢_￢)"

Peng Wanhua reached out and scratched her nose, then said with a smile, "I trust you. You've already reviewed it carefully, so why should I look at it carefully? Just sign it!"

Qin Ying curled her lips and said, "Being lazy is being lazy, and you're still looking for excuses."

Peng Wanhua said seriously: "I am training you. You will become the president of the Academy of Sciences in the future."

"The cake is too big, I can't eat it!" Qin Ying said finally, then ran away.

She had heard this many times, but after so many years, she was finally promoted from director of the computer institute to vice dean.

Not yet the executive vice president.

I estimate that within ten years, it would be good if I could be promoted to executive vice president.

As for the president of the Hong Kong Science Academy, there is no sign of that happening.

Peng Wanhua looked at her back and shook his head helplessly.
