Peninsula Steel Love

There is no such thing as a coincidence. Wang Haiqiao never dreamed that he would meet his college classmate and roommate in a foreign country, and he would be the one who silently helped him.

At first, he was a little afraid to admit it. After all, everyone had changed a lot over the years. Until the other party called out the three words "Wang Ma Gan", Wang Haiqiao was finally sure, because the originator of this nickname was none other than Zhou. Classmate Jing.

So he was shocked and instantly became extremely excited. You must know that they have not seen each other since Zhou Jing joined the army. If you think about it carefully, 11 years have passed.

Now that old classmate Wang Haiqiao unexpectedly reunited, how could he not be excited? On the contrary, Zhou Jing seemed much calmer, because he had already experienced similar experiences more than once.

In addition, as soon as he couldn't help but blurt out the nickname, he immediately realized that something was wrong. The two young people behind Yin Xiaozhen and Wang Haiqiao were stunned for a while, and then they were struggling to hold back laughter.

What should I do if my leader is suddenly called a nickname? Nonsense, of course I pretend not to hear, but this nickname is so apt that I really can’t do it.

So Zhou Jing quickly stepped forward, held Wang Haiqiao's hand and explained: "Hai Qiao, I'm sorry, I just made a mistake in excitement."

Unexpectedly, Wang Haiqiao waved his hand and replied nonchalantly: "Hey, it's okay. No one has called me this nickname for many years. Don't tell me, I still miss it, especially when it comes from your mouth, haha."

Zhou Jing couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and at the same time, a warm current surged in his heart. After so many years, Wang Haiqiao still looked carefree and open-minded, almost the same as when he was in college.

At this time, Yin Xiaozhen woke up first, and then asked doubtfully: "Commander Zhou, Mr. Wang, do you know each other?"

"Of course." Wang Haiqiao hugged Zhou Jing's shoulders and laughed heartily, "Xiao Yin, didn't expect that your leader is an old classmate of mine. We are both from Dongchuan Road Men's Vocational and Technical College, haha."

"Isn't it Min Dahuang Institute of Technology? Haha" Zhou Jing patted Wang Haiqiao's back and joked.

"That's right, by the way, let me introduce to you, Xiao Ding and Xiao Zhao, the rising stars in our institute. This is Zhou Jing."

"Hello Mr. Zhou" x2
"Hello everyone, let me also introduce you. This is the CEO of our company's Health and Welfare Committee, Kim Zhiyuan."

"What CEO?"

"Oh, just think of him as the union president."

"Oh, I understand."

After some polite introductions, everyone began to take their seats. Wang Haiqiao naturally pulled Zhou Jing to sit next to him, while Yin Xiaozhen sat next to Jin Zhiyuan. She didn't want to but had no choice. Jin Zhiyuan didn't understand Chinese and she needed to translate in real time.

To be honest, Wang Haiqiao now has a lot of questions to ask Zhou Jing. He was the person who knew Zhou Jing’s past the most except Yang Xiaoxiao back then. Of course he wanted to know how Zhou Jing had been living these years and whether he had already married like him. Give birth to children.

However, before he could speak, Zhou Jing spoke first, "Okay, Hai Qiao, I know what you want to ask, it's okay, we will have a drink and reminisce about the past later, but before that, let's talk about something serious. ah."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Haiqiao's face immediately darkened. It was true that his original intention tonight was to take the opportunity to ask for advice, but after unexpectedly meeting an old classmate, he no longer wanted to mention those troublesome things, so as not to ruin the rare good mood.

But since Zhou Jing took the initiative to mention him, there was no need to be secretive. We were all in the same dormitory and we didn't know who was who. No matter how much we hid, it would be pretentious.

So Wang Haiqiao sighed and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Zhou Jing.

"I don't care about the communication process and details. Hai Qiao, let me ask you a question first."

"what?"

"How did you get in touch with Daewoo Shipbuilding, and who organized and led this exchange."

Yes, it is indeed the same as before. Wang Haiqiao is familiar with Zhou Jing's temper. When talking about serious matters, he doesn't like to listen to nonsense and often goes straight to the topic and hits the nail on the head. What's interesting is that the questions he usually raises happen to be the key points.

In this case, Wang Haiqiao directly told the whole story without further ado, while Zhou Jing habitually showed a thoughtful expression as he listened.

The thing is like this, Wang Haiqiao's unit is a research institute affiliated to China State Shipbuilding Corporation, and it is also one of the designated production bases for naval equipment. In addition, their institute is the first unit in China to develop precision casting of titanium alloy materials.

Since the beginning of the new century, according to the instructions of the central government, all military industrial units must take the path of "military-civilian integration". Therefore, Wang Haiqiao and his colleagues have also established a civilian products department accordingly. The main products naturally revolve around titanium alloys.

In the early days, they made golf club heads. With the breakthrough in titanium plate production technology, they also began to gradually expand from civilian consumer products to the industrial field. The most representative ones are ship heat exchangers and coolers. .

The shipbuilding industry is the institute's main industry. In the past, they only supplied these products to the military industry. Therefore, the civilian market has long been occupied by Japanese products, and the prices are simply terrifying. This is quite similar to the panel war mentioned before. similar.

Until a few years ago, Wang Haiqiao and others established a new civilian product company and introduced similar products to the domestic civilian market. Now Japanese companies are in trouble, because the price of domestic products is only one-third of Japanese products, and everyone knows the military quality. of.

As a result, major domestic shipyards have abandoned Japanese products and chosen domestic alternatives. Coupled with the increasingly tense relationship between the two countries, even if those Japanese companies realized the emergency price adjustment later, it would not help.

In fact, titanium materials are widely used in the field of ships. Therefore, the institute can be said to be killing all directions in the domestic shipbuilding industry. When it comes to this, we must mention Daewoo Shipbuilding's branch in Shandong Province. In 2005, Daewoo established a wholly-owned company in Shandong Province. Its main products are offshore drilling platforms and ship sections, and it plans to build entire ships domestically in the future.

In August this year, Daewoo Shipbuilding President Ko Jae-ho personally led a team to visit CCS (China Classification Society), hoping to establish deeper cooperation with Chinese shipbuilding companies and related supply chains.

It was under this background that Wang Haiqiao and his colleagues came into contact with Shandong Daewoo. After some exchanges, both parties were very happy. After all, who wouldn't like a product that is not bad year-on-year and has significant cost reductions.

However, Shandong Daewoo does not have the right to confirm the technology of supporting products and needs approval from the South Korean headquarters before it can be shortlisted for the supplier list, so Shandong Daewoo reported the relevant situation to the headquarters.

The qualifications were there and the price was so low that it was unbelievable. After learning about it, Daewoo Shipbuilding's procurement department naturally did not dare to neglect it and reported it directly to the head of ship production and operations, Executive Director Quan Douxuan.

Quan Douxuan came from a grassroots production background. In recent years, the high cost of Daewoo Shipbuilding has always been a problem that is difficult to solve. If it is not handled properly, the consequences will be very serious, so he immediately had an idea after seeing the report.

Due to the catfish effect, the previous suppliers seemed to be a little too comfortable. Hyundai Heavy Industries chose to hold shares with Pudong Railway in order to reduce costs, and even cooperated with Sanshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. to participate in the DPS project.

Therefore, if Daewoo Shipbuilding wants to get rid of the current cost dilemma, it is time to introduce outsiders to stir up this long-silent pool of spring water, so Quan Douxuan immediately made the decision to promote this exchange event.

The research institute also attaches great importance to this. After all, this is a good opportunity to expand overseas markets. South Korea is a strong shipbuilding country and there is no doubt that the demand for its products is unquestionable. If it can use this to enter the Korean market, it will definitely be a great thing.

The problem office had almost zero experience in dealing with foreign businessmen, so in the end they had no choice but to outperform the others, and the heavy responsibility fell on the newly promoted assistant to the general manager, Comrade Lao Wang.

The institute believes that there is nothing to discuss about the commercial price. The advantage is almost the same as the natural chasm. The key lies in how to convince the Korean side of the technical reliability of their products. Wang Haiqiao is the technical leader of the titanium plate project, so there will definitely be no problem if he takes the lead. of.

Zhou Jing's mouth twitched unconsciously when he heard this, and he thought to himself that it was no wonder. In his opinion, the institute considered things too simply, or they knew too little about Korean society.

After the so-called "Miracle on the Han River", South Korea became an emerging industrial power. Even after experiencing two financial crises, Koreans are still very confident. In their eyes, when will China's manufacturing be comparable to Japan's manufacturing?

If not, why would Xu Zhibin bother to ask Zhou Jing to promote Sansteel and Made in China? Even if Koreans speak ill of each other when mentioning Japan on the Internet, they are honest and upright. Japan has always been the first choice for Koreans to travel abroad. land.

Going off topic, Zhou Jing did not say anything after listening to Wang Haiqiao's story but directly winked at Jin Zhiyuan. The other party immediately got up and left the private room to make a phone call.

"Is this?" Wang Haiqiao was a little confused when he saw this.

"It's okay, I just went to check it out and be patient, hehe," Zhou Jing patted Wang Haiqiao on the shoulder and said with a smile.

After a while Jin Zhiyuan came back, and then he leaned over and whispered in Zhou Jing's ear. At this time, Wang Haiqiao noticed that Zhou Jing's face changed, so he couldn't help but wanted to ask what happened, but he never thought about it. Zhou Jing waved his hand and stopped him.

"Hai Qiao, don't worry, there are some things I need to verify. Just wait patiently and I will explain it to you in detail when I come back."

The Bunkyo-ku Gymnasium in Tokyo, Japan, also commonly known as the Tokyo Dome, is busy at this time because it is the last rehearsal before Girls' Generation's concert.

The lighting, stage design, sound and other staff are doing intensive adjustments, while the nine members of Girls' Generation are getting familiar with their moves on the stage over and over again. The on-site PD also asks them to temporarily adjust their movement lines from time to time.

Concerts are said to be a common occurrence for Girls' Generation, but from the expressions on their faces, it is not difficult to see that they are still a little uneasy amid their excitement.

This is the dream that the nine people had when they debuted. Now that they can stand neatly on this stage, no one knows how many hardships and obstacles they have gone through behind the scenes, and they almost have to leave a spot.

"OK, let's take a 10-minute break. Next, we will rehearse the interactive session. Thank you for your hard work."

As the on-site PD's words fell, everyone in Girls' Generation let out a sigh of relief. Don't underestimate that rehearsals can sometimes be more tiring than a formal concert.

Taeyeon immediately sat down cross-legged, and Sunny handed her a bottle of water. Jessica and Yoona gathered together and murmured about something they were talking about. Seohyun still followed the old rules and continued even after taking a break. Delve into her documentary script.

Cui Xiuying also picked up the water bottle and was about to drink water when she suddenly saw her assistant hurriedly running onto the stage as if something big had happened. This move immediately attracted the attention of other members.

"Unnie, Director Zhou called just now and asked you to call him back right away."

"Mo?"

Cui Xiuying was confused. For a moment, she didn't realize who Director Zhou was in the assistant's mouth. However, the next second she became sober, just because
Taeyeon jumped up from the floor, while Jessica and Yoona stopped talking and stared at her intently. Of course, Xiuying could still feel an unusually bright gaze.

What surprised her the most was that Yuli actually walked up to her and asked, "Xiuying, is this Zhou Jingoppa? What does he want from you? Are you familiar with him?"

Oh, what the hell? Cui Xiuying covered her head with her hands and was completely speechless. She also wanted to know why Zhou Jing called her without warning.
