The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

The year 1986 arrived as scheduled, without any delay due to the continuous artillery fire in southern Africa.

Chen Guohua took a day off at home and had a great time playing with Chen Ce and his other grandchildren the whole day.

After relaxing, he returned to his normal work rhythm.

The Three Gorges Dam hydropower station project has been fully launched and the relocation work has begun. Chen Guohua learned about these things from the news.

It will probably take several more years before the Three Gorges Dam hydroelectric power station can store water and generate electricity.

In addition to this hydropower station, other projects such as the West-to-East Power Transmission Project and the West-to-East Water Diversion Project have also been proposed one after another.

Therefore, after New Year's Day, Chen Guohua also needs to participate in these meetings in addition to his normal work.

Before the results of the gold mine in southern Africa came out, Chen Guohua had already boarded a car to the Beijing High-Speed ​​Railway Station, ready to participate in this high-speed rail test.

When the car arrived at the high-speed rail station, quite a few people were already there.

Since this is the world's first high-speed railway with a speed of more than 350 kilometers per hour and the first full-length test, it is bound to attract much attention.

Official media including People's Daily, Youth Daily, Farmers' Daily, and Workers' Daily all gathered together, while only some foreign media such as Apple News and Ta Kung Pao appeared.

Newspapers such as the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal and the Times did not appear.

"Old Chen, you're here. We've been waiting for you." Song Xuyan and the others were already at the scene. When they saw Chen Guohua appear, their eyes suddenly lit up.

As the highest initiator of the high-speed rail project, the technology provider, and the number one person in the domestic scientific community, Chen Guohua is naturally the well-deserved big boss, and it is normal for him to have such a status.

"I say, Lao Song, you guys came too quickly, didn't you? It's only 8:50 now, and there are still 10 minutes until 9 o'clock. You guys are working too hard."

Chen Guohua shook his head with a wry smile. He hurried and arrived at the scene ten minutes early, but he didn't expect Song Xuyan and the others to arrive even earlier.

Really great!

Ever since Song Xuyan took over Zhang Jihan's position, Chen Guohua has never been worried.

No matter what we do, Chen Guohua's opinion is basically the basis.

But because of his approach, Chen Guohua was able to do things as he wished and many things went smoothly.

After October 1981, Zhang Jihan retired.

Since this year, every event presided over by Chen Guohua has never disappointed anyone.

All in all, the cooperation between Chen Guohua and Song Xuyan is indeed smoother than that of Zhang Jihan or Qiu Zongyue before.

Song Xuyan is now 59 years old. At his age, he can still partner with Chen Guohua for many years.

"The high-speed rail project is the most important and crucial one, and it is now attracting global attention. After all, it is the world's first railway with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour."

Song Xuyan smiled and continued:

"Whether we work hard or not is not a big deal. The main thing is that researchers like you, Lao Chen, are working so hard. If we continue to hold you back,

Song Xuyan did not continue with the rest of the words. He believed that Chen Guohua should understand and there was no need to explain it explicitly.

After a brief chat, the testing work of the high-speed rail project officially began.

Chen Guohua personally boarded the train, and Song Xuyan and others followed him.

Because this test is very important, the entire process is monitored.

Not only are there soldiers strictly monitoring the area within dozens of kilometers from the Beijing High-Speed ​​Railway Station, but there are also satellites in the sky that are always keeping an eye on the situation of this high-speed railway line.

Like the high-speed railways in later times, fences and other facilities will be built on both sides of the railway, and even directly on viaducts.

In addition to these physical facilities, there are patrols every fifty kilometers or so, and sirens are installed at every distance.

As well as the modern high-tech patrols on both sides of the railway, under such circumstances, it is impossible for passers-by, animals, etc. to enter the railway.

The last point is to carry out propaganda and education for urban residents and villagers along both sides of the high-speed railway. This matter started when the high-speed railway was first built.

All these measures are for the safe operation of the high-speed rail itself and the safety of residents.

We will ensure everyone's safety from these aspects.

The ultra-modern locomotive is full of futuristic technology, which makes people marvel.

Reporters from official media such as People's Daily watched Chen Guohua and his colleagues get on the train. They never stopped using their cameras, flashlights constantly flashing as they took photos and recorded videos.

This is the mainland's high-speed railway, and also the world's first high-speed railway.

Once the news is reported, it will be absolutely earth-shattering.

"Are you scared?"

Chen Guohua got on the bus, chose a seat by the window, and said to Song Xuyan opposite him with a smile.

"What's there to be afraid of?" Song Xuyan rolled his eyes. He was in a very happy mood and had no negative emotions.

The high-speed rail that he has been looking forward to for so many years is finally about to start construction, and he is extremely happy.

Why would I be afraid?

What's more, after the train departs from the high-speed railway station and accelerates away, it will have to travel at least several kilometers before accelerating to a speed of 350 kilometers per hour.

The Fuxing high-speed train that Chen Guohua and his companions are currently riding takes about twelve seconds to accelerate from zero to 350 kilometers per hour.

But today is a test, so we can take our time in speeding up, and this is not the most important point.

Soon, as Chen Guohua and others had hoped, the high-speed rail began to speed up.

The scenery outside the window was rapidly receding as the train sped along the railway.

Behind the scenes, more than 100,000 relevant technicians are paying attention to the situation of this train. They are busy recording various data.

Those who use satellite navigation are the busiest.

Because they need to keep a close eye on everything that happens in front of Chen Guohua and his high-speed train.

Be especially careful on those sections where there are small roads or secret passages crossing the high-speed rail.

As for viaducts and tunnels, they are not that worried.

Of course, their worries were in vain. The Fuxing train is very fast. Three hundred and fifty kilometers per hour is no joke.

After the train arrived at the provincial capital of Zhongyuan, Chen Guohua and his companions did not continue their journey.

Even so, subsequent tests were very safe and no accidents occurred.

From now on, the high-speed rail line will undergo a one-year testing period until its trial operation a year later.

The testing task is not simple, because the entire testing work will simulate normal train operation, and the most critical point is that safety needs to be ensured.

The phrase that Chen Guohua often says is that he must get a perfect score in every exam, and this motto is always present throughout the entire high-speed rail project team.

After watching Chen Guohua and others get off the train, Wang Xueguo, one of the members of the high-speed rail project team, was extremely excited.

He still remembered that in 1959, Chen Guohua mentioned the high-speed rail to him at Harbin Institute of Technology.

After twenty-seven years, this dream is finally about to come true.

Wang Xueguo was not very clear about what Chen Guohua had paid to achieve this goal in such a short time, but Wang Xueguo himself was very clear about what he had paid.

Starting from Harbin Institute of Technology, he was about to give up, but Chen Guohua suggested that he study railway construction well.

After graduating from university, I followed Chen Guohua's advice and first interned at Zhenhua Research Institute, and then went to the Beijing Railway Bureau.

Then he has been working in this unit for more than 20 years, and until now, he is responsible for the construction of the Beijing section of the high-speed railway project and is one of the persons in charge.

Although Chen Guohua did not chat with him along the way, seeing the Fuxing train running at a speed of more than 350 kilometers per hour was enough for him.

At the beginning of 1986, the Fuxing High-Speed ​​Railway officially entered the test phase for opening to traffic, and will enter the trial operation phase next year.

Newspapers such as People's Daily reported the news, and Ta Kung Pao, Apple News and others also reported the incident.

Apple News is the news business unit of the North American Internet giant Apple. The fact that this news website has obtained first-hand information shows how powerful its capital is.

When people across America saw this news, they all thought they had seen it wrong.

"God, how is this possible? Three hundred and fifty kilometers per hour?" North American netizens couldn't believe it, but the news report also included a video report, and at this speed, the picture was blurry.

And this is a ten-minute video, which is not short, and it also records some current situations in the mainland.

When this scene appeared, all the netizens who watched the video fell silent.

After the silence came an explosion: This is impossible! Fuck!
"Next year, the mainland's high-speed rail will be put into trial operation. If you have friends who want to travel to the East, you can go there in advance to experience it."

The mysterious Eastern dragon is about to rise!

Not to mention how ordinary netizens were broken-down, in New York, Lannister Morgan, who had been tortured to the point of collapse by the recent search for "powerful capital", was shocked when he saw the news.

"Fuck, how could the East really have such a high-speed railway?"

Lannister Morgan had seen related news reports before, but he didn't take it seriously at the time.

However, we can't just ignore it now.

This East is so scary!

As a big capitalist, Lannister Morgan is not an ignorant person. He certainly knows what a speed of 350 kilometers per hour means.

You should know that the fastest car today is Ferrari, with a maximum speed of 217 miles per hour, which is about 350 kilometers per hour.

But the maximum speed of a sports car is just its maximum speed. A train cannot run at such a speed at all.

Apple News reported on a high-speed railway that is over 2,100 kilometers long and runs through the two major cities of Beijing and Baiyun City in the north and south of the Eastern Continent.

This means that, without considering the time spent stopping at intermediate stations, the journey from Beijing to Baiyun City only takes six hours.

Six hours, just six hours, how horrible.

No one knows how much impact such a fast transportation system will have on economic development.

Anyway, at such a fast speed, Lannister Morgan's scalp tingled just thinking about it.

Half a day later, von der Leian and others came to a room in a villa, and everyone gathered together to discuss again.

"Everyone has seen the news, right? The rise of the East is unstoppable. A speed of 350 kilometers per hour is too terrifying. Does anyone have any ideas?"

As soon as he sat down, Lannister Morgan couldn't wait to get straight to the point.

Simply put, he was jealous.

In fact, the Morgan family's strongest point is finance. When their family rose to prominence, it was by following the Rothschild family in finance.

In particular, the Rothschild family failed to successfully enter the North American market, allowing the Morgan family to get a huge advantage.

However, in recent years, the Morgan family has not been doing well. To be more precise, the wealth of Lannister Morgan has shrunk severely.

Therefore, whenever he sees an opportunity to make money, his eyes light up.

The high-speed rail is so fast. If he doesn’t like it and can’t see that it is a good fortune, then he has lived all these years in vain.

"Let's not talk about the high-speed rail for now, let's talk about the agency you supported in southern Africa. How is the progress?"

Ronald Lawrence is not interested in high-speed rail because the investment involved is definitely not a small amount, and it will take a long time to make a profit, which is very unfriendly to him, an old man in his seventies.

But he was very interested in the gold in southern Africa.

"What's wrong? Have you made much progress?"

Upon hearing this, von der Leian's eyes narrowed and he asked with a smile.

There are a total of twenty-seven shareholders in Rand Central Gold Mine, but it is obvious that they are all frightened birds now.

Robert Lansing, the major shareholder holding 8% of the shares, has been eliminated and the shares have been transferred to a company called Saishenmu.

You can tell right away that this company is from Tokyo.

Many people are surprised to find that Tokyo companies are so powerful.

The success of Saishenmu not only stimulated other agents, but also made the other 26 shareholders more afraid.

In the past few months, several shareholders have been eliminated one after another.

The entire southern Africa has become a huge battlefield, and no one knows how many teams have come.

However, the number of robberies and other cases that broke out exceeded 100,000, which can almost be said to be the darkest and most terrifying time in southern Africa.

No one dared to go out at night.

Be careful even during the day.

Lannister Morgan rolled his eyes. He was a smart man. Southern Africa was indeed a big gold mine, but there were too many people eyeing it.

Even if you spend a lot of effort to take it down, you may not be able to keep it.

Because there are always people who are unwilling to stop the war.

Regarding the high-speed rail project, Lannister Morgan joined forces with Geinhard, von der Leyen, Hampry Mather and others to develop the project together.

In fact, it is best to cooperate with the Kuhn-Loeb Consortium. After all, this consortium owns five major railway companies, including the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Southern Pacific Railroad.

However, in the previous decade or so, these railway companies had been defeated by Brenda Mellon, Lannister Morgan and others who had joined forces.

It can almost be said that the most important asset of the Kuhnlob Group has been destroyed.

How could this North American consortium, which had become a second-tier consortium, cooperate with top consortiums such as the Morgan family and the Mellon family?

It will be difficult to get rid of this hatred without decades of time.

If Lannister Morgan wants to carry out a high-speed rail project, he naturally needs to send people to the East to seek cooperation.

In Beijing, two private planes landed safely at the newly completed Beijing New Airport. They were the first and second private planes to land after the new airport was built.

After the two private planes landed, they did not go to see any scenery, but went straight to the office to seek cooperation.

Two days later, Song Xuyan finally arrived at the Zhenhua Research Institute, and Chen Guohua learned the specific ideas of Lannister Morgan and others.

"Old Chen, can we do this project?"

"Sure, but I don't think they can do it because they don't have the strong power system support we have. Their power companies are all over North America, but they are all private enterprises."

Chen Guohua shook his head directly and continued:

"If they just need high-speed rail technology, there's no problem. We can sell it to them. They don't understand the core technology at all, and they don't understand the power system."

“Compared to cooperating on these projects, it is better to cooperate on other projects.”

Chen Guohua not only looked down upon the cooperation between Lannister Morgan and others, but also was not optimistic about it.

It was mainly because of their nature that he found it hard to believe.

The fact that Chen Guohua insisted on setting up a white glove business from the beginning is enough to explain many problems.

This is the inherent bad nature of capital, and the situation in North America itself is even more complicated. It would be strange if they could accomplish anything great.

Seeing Chen Guohua say this, Song Xuyan had no choice but to shut up.

"We have many good projects in the mainland. If they want to invest, I think you can introduce them to some, such as hotels, tourism, manufacturing, etc."

Forget about the high-speed rail project, but if they are willing to invest in some projects in the mainland, there won’t be much of a problem.

At the same time, the mainland can also invest in some projects in North America.

In short, there must be equal corporate investment, otherwise the basis for cooperation between the two sides will be very fragile.

After the Lannisters learned the reply, they were still quite disappointed. Wasn't he too wary of them?

Logically speaking, they should be the ones in North America guarding against them in the East, but now it seems like the situation is reversed?
No matter what, cooperation is certain, but the specific industry needs to be negotiated.

Just in time for the Spring Festival of 1986, Sinovac's shipments had broken a new record.

It's just a keyboard smartphone, but it sells so well. To be honest, Chen Guohua was shocked after seeing the specific data.

"Old Chen, you didn't expect this to happen, did you?" Song Xuyan opened his mouth in surprise when he saw Chen Guohua's expression. (End of this chapter)
