Chapter 653 The Popular New Subway

Today is the Spring Festival in China, the first day of the new year.

The land of China has long been immersed in the strong atmosphere of the New Year, while Europe, thousands of miles away, can feel this atmosphere in some places where Chinese gather, and everything else seems to be as usual in other areas.

For Westerners, Christmas has passed for more than a month, and it seems that we have already returned to the right track, so what should we do?The whole of London is as lively as usual.

During the rush hour in the morning, there are a large number of people on both the bus and the subway.Especially the subway in London is simply crowded.

A few people were obviously not ordinary office workers, but looked like some officials from the City of London.That's right, they are Woodward, the person in charge of the London Underground project, and several people including Tang Guofu from the London City Government.

Tang Guofu is a British Chinese who works in the London Municipal Government. Although his rank is not very high, his qualifications are relatively old. He has worked in government departments for more than [-] years.

A group of us walked into a London subway station.

Seeing so many people, it is simply crowded, Woodward and others thought in their hearts, thanks to the start of a comprehensive replacement of the old subway, if it is still those old subways, it may be a heavy burden, especially during rush hours like this .

Not long after, a subway locomotive came and stopped beside the platform. Many people crowded onto this subway, but if you observe carefully, you will find that there are still a small number of people who did not squeeze onto this train. I don’t know if it’s because they are not in a hurry time or for other reasons.

This is an old dark red subway line, which looks old-fashioned and outdated. It is estimated that it has been in use here for more than ten years, or more than twenty years.

Woodward was careful. He found that there were a very small number of people who could squeeze on this subway, but they didn't rush to squeeze on it, as if they were waiting for the arrival of the next subway.

He stopped, wanting to see what was going on, and whispered this discovery to the staff next to him. Others tapped lightly and began to pay attention.

A few minutes later, another subway locomotive came. It was also an old subway locomotive. You could feel its oldness from the appearance, instead of boarding the inside of the subway locomotive to feel it.

However, there are still a large number of people who squeezed into this train, probably because they were in a hurry to go to work, because they had no choice, but there were still a small number of people who did not squeeze into this train. They squeezed in, but they just didn't get on this train.

That's what makes it interesting.

What is going on here?
Tang Guofu is also observing this phenomenon. After careful observation, he has some guesses in his mind, so he said softly: "Mr. Woodward, these few people may not be in a hurry, they are simply waiting for us to put it into use Those new subways are coming."

These new subways were designed and developed by Jiuzhou Metro Company, and all of them are manufactured by the European factory of Siemens Vehicle Group. At present, more than [-] such subways have been put into use.

The production speed of this Siemens factory is still very fast. Before Christmas, several subway trains like this were produced. In January, more than a dozen trains were produced. This month, that is, the production volume in February is estimated to reach 2. The number of columns.

More than [-] trains have been put into operation on the London subway line. Correspondingly, the city of London has replaced more than [-] old subway trains and is preparing to phase them out.

Seeing Tang Guofu's guess, Woodward thought it was possible, so he said, """We'll wait here. It would be too surprising if they were really waiting for the arrival of the new subway. At the same time, it also shows that the new subway is very popular among the citizens who take the subway.”

It is very simple to verify whether this is the case, just wait patiently here for a few minutes.

About two or three minutes later, another subway train came, and it stopped firmly next to the platform. As soon as the door opened, many people swarmed onto this subway train, with the exception of no doubt, including the last subway train coming over. , Those who could squeeze in but didn't.

Why is this so?
Because the subway that is coming is a brand new subway, its appearance is stylish and beautiful, in stark contrast to those old subways just now.

After the guess was verified, Woodward opened his mouth slightly in surprise, thinking in his heart, God, this is really the case, they didn't squeeze the previous two subway locomotives before, but they were waiting for the arrival of this new subway.

After reacting, Woodward waved loudly: "Gentlemen, let's go up too."

Several people from Woodward, including Tang Guofu, also squeezed into this subway locomotive with the crowd. Shortly after getting on the train, the doors closed and the subway started.

It still starts smoothly, runs quietly, and the vibration and shaking are extremely small.Woodward and the others nodded lightly. This was not the first time they took the subway of Jiuzhou Metro Company, but every time it felt so good, and this time was no exception.

Nodding approvingly in his heart, Woodward started talking with a young man next to him.He noticed that when the last subway came, the young man obviously didn't get on the train, and he could obviously squeeze on the last subway.

"Hello, Woodward."

The young man was slightly taken aback, and after confirming that the middle-aged man in front of him wanted to chat with him, he said, "I'm Jack McCarthy, you can call me Jack."

"Hi Jack, I'm the person in charge of the London Underground project. I want to ask you why you chose to take this new subway."

Jack McCarthy was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Woodward was the person in charge of the London Underground project. After he realized it, he said happily: "Oh, Mr. Woodward is so glad to meet you, really very happy. Why do I have to take This new train, no doubt, it's great, isn't it, it's the best and most comfortable train I've ever been on, and you can see how beautiful and stylish it is..."

It seems that the young Jack McCarthy is a talker, he talked a lot in one breath, and he was not stingy with praise, and he praised this new subway.

Then he also said: "Mr. Woodward, you have done a good job. You have replaced all these damn old subways in London, and they will all be replaced with this new subway. Now that I think about it, I am very excited. In the future, we will You can ride this new subway anytime you want, you don't have to wait. God, it's like a dream."

Woodward laughed.

Tang Guofu beside him also smiled happily.

I didn't expect the new subway to be so popular. Some people even made a special trip to wait for the new subway to come, and only chose to take the new subway.

Especially feeling the praise of young people, Woodward thought in his heart, it seems that we have really done a very correct thing, and choosing the products of Jiuzhou Metro Company is also the most sensible thing to do.

It’s just that the number of new subways is still a little less. There are only more than [-] trains, which is only one-tenth of the total number of London subways. A large number of new subways are delivered to us.

……

Siemens Vehicle Group, European factory.

A few months ago, it was still a bit deserted here, because the orders were slightly insufficient. Since three or four months ago, it has gradually become busy here, especially last month, it produced more than a dozen trains of this new subway in one go. .

Grudy actually received a call from Woodward from London. During the call, Woodward expressed two meanings. The first is that he will come to this factory for inspection in the near future, and the second is to urge Siemens to The Rolling Stock Group, to accelerate the manufacturing speed and scale of new subway lines required for the London Underground project.

Woodward will go to this factory to inspect, and there is only one purpose. He wants this factory to expand its production scale and produce a larger number of new subways they need.

Grudy also seems to be feeling some pressure.

He thought in his heart that perhaps the production of other models of subways should be slowed down, and more people and production resources should be devoted to the production of new subways for the London Underground project.

At least twenty such new subways will be produced this month, and starting next month, the number of such new subways is estimated to be kept at more than thirty per month.

The production quantity of more than 280 trains per month, Grudy thought in his heart, a total of 30 subway trains, nearly 250 trains have been manufactured, and there are more than 8 trains left, and it will take another 9 or [-] months. All the subways needed for the entire London subway project have been manufactured.

How refreshing and proud it must be to complete this super large order!

China thousands of miles away.

Because it is the traditional Spring Festival in China, it is completely different from the West, especially not as busy as the European factories of Siemens Vehicle Group. The vast land of China is completely immersed in the auspicious and festive Spring Festival.

For the past few days, Tang Fei has been staying in Qingjiang City, enjoying this Spring Festival with his family.

From today onwards, Tang Fei's house became even more lively. There was an endless stream of relatives and friends who came to pay New Year's greetings, completely filling the living room.

It's true that no one cares about being poor in the busy city, and being rich has distant relatives in the mountains.

Tang Fei didn't know many of his relatives very well, but Tang Fei didn't bother to take care of these relatives seeing his parents very happy and enthusiastically entertaining them. During the Spring Festival, it's a good thing that the family is more lively.

All these relatives were being entertained by his parents. Tang Fei just stayed in the living room for a while, showed his face among the relatives, chatted with everyone casually, and left the house alone.

Although the distance was not far, Tang Fei still chose to drive, put his things in the trunk of his Humvee, and then drove away from the residential area where his home was located.

Today is the third update, and the first update is here!
