International students returning to 90

"Invitation card?"

"Yes, you can take it as a free little vacation if you invite the party to pay for board and lodging, and even reimburse the round-trip fare." Logan smiled and handed over a red invitation letter.

He probably understood why Simpson would rather risk violating the confidentiality regulations than call him to let him watch Lin Yi. What a lovely lucky cat this is.

A few months, just a few months, seven production lines in one factory!The way he looks at Lin Yi now is almost the same as looking at dollars.

No, seeing that Lin Yi is almost done with the work at hand, Professor Logan is happy to send warmth, and we must let our Lucky Cat colleagues feel the humanitarian care everywhere in Simpson Lab .

"Hua Guo Automobile Association?" Lin Yi raised his eyebrows when he noticed the signing of the invitation letter.

"Yes, it is the invitation letter from the China Automobile Association to Ford. Ford reserves two places for our laboratory every year."

"Thank you very much." Lin Yi was not polite, and took the two invitation letters from Logan.

Counting the days, he has not returned to China for nearly a year, and he still misses his old lady.

As for another invitation...

"No, take it. You are the only official employee of our new energy center besides me, so it's a good deal for you." Lin Yi threw the invitation letter into He Qun's arms.

He was able to return to China at public expense as soon as he entered the laboratory. In his two lifetimes, he didn't have the good luck of this silly boy.

Because with Ford, the air tickets and airport pick-up were arranged by Ford. As soon as Lin Yi and He Qun arrived at the airport, a middle-aged blond man greeted them with a smile.

"Researcher Lin, Assistant He?" The middle-aged man stretched out his hand enthusiastically, "I'm Pace Walker, the manager of Ford's business department. Researcher Lin, you can call me Pace."

The status of Simpson Laboratory in the field of materials science in the United States is extremely high. As a manager of Ford's business department, he, Pace Walker, can be regarded as a middle-class man in the United States. However, compared with the official researcher of Simpson Laboratory, he is Not a heavyweight.

What's more, this researcher is not an ordinary researcher. Reports about superconducting cables in the United States and Europe are still continuing. The name of this young researcher has been mentioned repeatedly. I heard that this year's Simpson Laboratory employee who is traveling with them is this. They The group was a little excited.

"Hello, Mr. Pace, I will trouble you to take care of me along the way."

"You are polite, you are polite." Pace waved his hands again and again.

After meeting with the people from Ford, Lin Yi didn't have to worry about the rest. He boarded the plane, put a blindfold on his head, and opened his eyes to step on the familiar land.

Huaguo, Huajing City, Capital International Airport.

A group of blond foreigners was still very conspicuous in Huajing at that time, not to mention that there was a young man from Huaguo walking in front of this group of foreigners.

"This little queen has grown so handsome."

"Not only is he handsome, but he is also promising. Look at how much those foreigners respect him."

Lin Yi and Pace walked in the front. Pace was afraid that Researcher Lin would be bored, so he tried hard to find topics along the way. Business people are the best at talking, and the two chatted so well.

There are already people waiting at the gate of the airport. An Audi leads the way, followed by two Shanghai Volkswagen commercial vehicles.

"Here we come." Two young men in their thirties walked quickly from the gate of the airport.

"Mr. Walker and the Ford company are already heading here. There are seven people in total. I don't know if I read it wrong. There are also two Asians."

"It should be right. It was Researcher Lin and his assistant who greeted Director Zhang and said they were sure they had arrived."

"Okay, Secretary Zheng."

As soon as Lin Yi and others stepped out of the airport, Zheng Guobin, the secretary to the president of the Huaguo Automobile Association, strode up to greet them.

"Mr. Walker, hello, I'm Zheng Guobin, welcome to China!" Zheng Guobin said enthusiastically in fluent English.

Walker raised his chin slightly, showing a reserved smile, "Hello, Mr. Zheng." He no longer faced Lin Yishi's enthusiasm for Zheng Guobin, and he seemed a bit arrogant.

"The car has been arranged, Mr. Walker please."

Zheng Guobin pointed to the Audi and Volkswagen commercial vehicles at the back.

"German car?" Looking in the direction of Zheng Guobin's finger, Walker frowned slightly, using a German car to pick up the people from Ford...

Before Walker could attack, Lin Yi opened the door of the Audi and got in.

"Don't waste time, I still have a report to write." He said as he motioned for He Qun to get on from the other door.

When Walker wanted to make trouble, he held it in his throat. He shrugged, okay, it's just a means of transportation, and researcher Lin's report can't be delayed because of this.

"Get in the car." As he spoke, he consciously opened the door of the commercial vehicle behind him.

Seeing the manager got into the car, the rest of the employees naturally had no other objections, and they found their seats one after another.

Zheng Guobin wiped the sweat from his brow. He blindly pursued comfort, but he forgot about this. Using a German car to pick up people from the American Ford company is obviously offending people.

"Secretary Zheng, isn't this Audi arranged for Mr. Walker? Those two Chinese went up..."

"You don't have to worry about it, let the driver drive."

Zheng Guobin opened the passenger door of the Audi, and looked in the rearview mirror at Lin Yi with his eyes closed, and He Qun, who tilted his head and couldn't see his expression clearly. These two people are as old as his son, people and people, the difference is really not Generally large.

The car drove slowly to Huajing Hotel, and Zheng Guobin accompanied them all the way to help everyone complete the check-in procedures.

"The reception visit is scheduled for tomorrow. Let all distinguished guests have a good rest today. Xiao Wu will be on call 24 hours a day. If you want to take a look around Huajing City, you can find him at any time." Zheng Guobin pointed to a young man in his thirties Said.

Walker smiled and nodded his thanks.

After Zheng Guobin and his party left, Walker walked to Lin Yi with a smile on his face.

"Hua Guo has changed so much. When I came here ten years ago, from the airport to the urban area, it was a wasteland."

Lin Yi rubbed his chin, "The world is changing and developing, so we should look at the world from the perspective of development."

"Yes, yes, what you said really makes sense." Walker looked admiring. As expected of a scientific researcher, what he said was different.

Standing aside, Xiao Wu stared blankly at Pace Walker, who seemed to be two people in front and back, looked at Lin Yi, and then at the foreign friends who followed him from time to time looking at him with admiration, and couldn't help puffing out his chest.

That researcher Lin is from Huaguo...

Lin Yi walked into the room, first called home, told Mother Lin that he might be going home soon, and then pulled the quilt over his head to beat the jet lag.

"Bump, bump, bump"

Lin Yi didn't fall asleep for a long time when he heard a knock on the door. He didn't intend to pay attention to it, but the people outside were too persistent.

"Who is it!" He threw the quilt aside angrily, rubbed his chicken nest, and walked towards the door with his slippers on.

Opening the door, he squinted his eyes, an old man and a young man.

Why is this young man so familiar?

Lin Yi opened his eyes suddenly, "Zhuang... Zhuangcheng?" He subconsciously slammed the door, "5 minutes, wait for me for 5 minutes!" After speaking, he ran to the toilet barefoot.

How can you be so shameless in front of Professor Zhuang? It's too rude, too rude!

"This……"

"Lin Yitao, he's being informal, Uncle Zhang, don't take offense."

"No surprise, no surprise, just a little surprised. Researcher Lin seems to be a very easy-going person."

The scene of Lin Yi lifting his chin to ridicule people appeared in Zhuang Cheng's mind, and he was silent for a few seconds, but did not answer.

Seven minutes later, the door was opened.

Lin Yi combed her hair and changed her shoes.

"Why did I forget that you are also in Huajing, so well-informed? I asked you to come here just after I moved in." Lin Yi put his hand on Zhuangcheng's shoulder and said with a smile.

Lin Yi severely condemned Zhuang Cheng's rejection of his good intentions and even not disclosing the flight number, but since Zhuang Cheng came to apologize so actively, then he has a lot of adults, so he doesn't care about it.

"Yo, who is this old gentleman?" Lin Yi finally realized that there was another person beside Zhuangcheng.

Zhuang Cheng took Lin Yi's hand off his body, "This is Director Zhang from the First Division of the Ministry of Industry."

"Oh, Director Zhang, hello." Although I don't know what the Ministry of Industry is looking for, but this does not prevent Lin Yi from greeting him enthusiastically. It's a character.

"Researcher Lin, hello!" Director Zhang's attitude was unexpectedly enthusiastic, and he shook hands with Lin Yi firmly.

Leading the two of them into the house, Lin Yi scratched his head and took out two bottles of mineral water from the suitcase, "Would you like to deal with this first? We haven't had time to boil the water yet."

"Researcher Lin, it's very good." Director Zhang looked at the mineral water in a transparent plastic bottle, and sighed in his heart. The domestic plastic production is not enough, but foreigners have already used it as a disposable consumable. The gap. .

Lin Yi nodded and sat down. Of course he knew that a person like the director of the Ministry of Industry would go to the Three Treasure Hall for everything, so it was impossible to just come and see him.

"Director Zhang, if you have something to do, you can tell me directly. If I can help, I will do my best." After he finished speaking, he blinked at Zhuang Cheng, indicating that I am saving face for you.

Zhuangcheng...

Director Zhang didn't expect Lin Yi to be so straightforward. He glanced at Zhuang Cheng and chuckled, "Okay, since that's the case, I won't beat around the bush. I heard that Researcher Lin has several production lines for chemical finishing?"

Lin Yi froze for a moment, what about the production line for chemical finishing? YBCO production line?

"You mean the YBCO material production line?"

"Yes, a production line for material synthesis and finishing!" Zhang Chu seemed a little excited.

"I heard that you are looking for a site to build a factory overseas?"

"Uh, there is such a thing."

"Then what do you think of Huaguo? Huajing? Haishi is also okay? Or other cities, we can cooperate!"

Lin Yi frowned slightly, "Wait, Zhang Chu. Maybe you didn't understand clearly that the YBCO material production line is different from the general material production line. It has a lot of energy consumption and pollution, which is why we need to find overseas factories. , because the United States has limited its production capacity in order to control pollution."

"In other words, if I choose the site in Huaguo, then Huaguo will suffer a lot of energy pollution. European and American countries are very interested in superconducting cables. If policies are introduced to encourage cable replacement, superconducting If the cable is spread around the world, how big is the volume? The greater its production capacity, the greater the pollution, and it is not a good target for investment.”

This is also the reason why Lin Yi never thought of putting the production line in Huaguo. Environmental pollution is not worth the candle.

Zhang Chu looked at Lin Yi with a sigh, "You think so?"

"Is not it?"

"Researcher Lin, are you interested in hearing me tell a story?"

Lin Yi glanced at Director Zhang strangely, shrugged, "I would like to hear more about it."

"You are here at the invitation of the Automobile Association, and I will tell you about the automobile industry in Huaguo."

"Huaguo's automobile industry began to develop in the 50s. In 1953, the first automobile factory broke ground. Most of them are provided by the Soviet Union, but even so, there is no production line, and they can only be imported and patched together. There are cars, but people are choking the throat of technology.”

"Later, our relationship with the Soviet Union broke down, and the domestic automobile manufacturing industry suddenly fell into a stagnation stage. In the late 50s, the so-called first bridge car produced was completely made by workers and knocked by hand. This was the status quo of the auto industry at that time.”

"Later, in the 80s, reform and opening up, and more exchanges with foreign countries. We were eager to learn Western technology. At that time, Chrysler wanted to eliminate a backward production line, and we sent people from Huaguo to discuss it nine times. After talking for more than half a year, no agreement was reached. Because of a production line that they regarded as waste, Chrysler asked for a price of 1800 million US dollars!"

"1800 million U.S. dollars! How much foreign exchange did the whole country have at that time? They were robbing! There is no way, we are lagging behind, talk, talk again, the talk failed. We had to turn around and cooperate with Germany, using the market for technology, The domestic assembly of imported parts has no technical content at all, but for such a little assembly technology, we have to use the huge market in Huaguo to exchange."

"In the 90s, it was a little bit better, and the cooperation was further deepened. We also had a production line, and the domestic production rate of cars was greatly improved, but the key parts still had to be imported. What the Automobile Association invites you to do is to find more partners. Use foreigners to restrict foreigners, so as to learn more technology."

"You said, for the sake of technology, we have reached this point, and environmental issues are nothing. London, which used to be called the city of smog, isn't it good now. Only when you have money and progress can you pay attention to it. "Hua Guo, I can't pay attention to it now!"
