Rebirth: 1977

The moment he stepped on the plane, Yin Tianshui seemed to have returned to his previous life many years ago.

At that time, it was normal for him to be on the plane.

In this life, it was his first time to fly.

And the surrounding environment is also very different.

There were a total of 28 people in the delegation. The leader of the delegation was the deputy minister of the Fourth Machinery Department, the leader of the Military Control Commission, senior engineers, technicians, secretaries, assistants and other fifteen people.

In addition, there are twelve people from the Security Bureau led by Wu Songhao, plus Yin Tianshui, a translator.

Chartering a flight to country D takes more than ten hours.

When we landed at the other party's airport, our embassy staff were already waiting there.

When Yin Tianshui knew that he was going to this country, he asked the principal to invite an old professor who was proficient in D language to study unexpectedly for three days.

He does not need to be able to speak immediately, but he does not allow himself to be "blind" when facing outsiders.

You must be able to understand the simplest conversations.

For three days, he asked the old professor to slowly read technical articles about the machinery industry in this country.

He held the book and read it word by word. Relying on his super memory, as long as the old professor read it, he picked it up again and had a deep impression in his mind.

Then, he asked the old professor to translate paragraphs into Chinese, and he searched for them word by word.

At first, the old professor thought Yin Tianshui was just playing tricks on him, and he felt very angry.

But when he read out a passage he had read and asked Yin Tianshui to find it in the book, Yin Tianshui did not miss it once.

He was so shocked that he began to read the original text of a book seriously, then translated it into Chinese and continued to explain.

He will talk about rare vocabulary with strong professionalism several times.

This technical magazine, all in foreign languages, has detailed introductions to the equipment they need to purchase this time abroad.

Yin Tianshui said goodbye to the old professor with a huge thank you.

Seeing that he was injured due to the impact of his former student, and now he can only sit in a wheelchair, emaciated and old, I felt extremely regretful.

He left ten catties of meat stamps, fifty catties of food stamps, and 200 yuan of solidarity, quietly stuffed under his pillow.

I am determined to continue studying with my old professor after returning to China.

English is the international lingua franca, but it cannot prevent the other party from communicating in their own country's language.

Yin Tianshui likes to take the initiative by himself.

After the embassy staff arranged accommodation, Yin Tianshui proposed to go out for a walk.

Wu Songhao received a report from the following person and came to Yin Tianshui:

"Comrade Yin Tianshui, if you are unfamiliar with this place, for your own safety, please do not act alone."

Wu Songhao, who was extremely nervous, would not give Yin Tianshui any face at this time.

Yin Tianshui understood that he had a heavy responsibility, so he thought about it and discussed it with him:

"Director Wu, I have an acquaintance in this country and would like to give him a call. Is that okay?"

They are now in the city of 'Eisen' in the west of country D, where there is the Ruhr Industrial Zone.

Starting from the coal industry, it has expanded to develop a series of industrial industries such as steel and chemicals.

The equipment they want to purchase is in this industrial area.

The people Yin Tianshui wanted to contact were the Tong brothers.

They are in the eastern city of Laibixi, which is the BMW production base.

"no!

Outside, all personal movements are not allowed, and you absolutely cannot move freely!

Don’t contact outsiders casually! "

Wu Songhao firmly rejected Yin Tianshui's request.

Yin Tianshui sighed. He had planned before coming out to find an opportunity to contact the Tong brothers.

Now it seems that I am still naive and naive.

If he couldn't do something for himself, his interest in the city would disappear a lot.

After all, the city of 'Eisen' he had seen would be much more prosperous and beautiful 20 years later than it is now.

It's just a pity that I brought so many things with me...

"understood."

Yin Tianshui still understands the principle of obeying orders and following instructions.

He returned to his room and sorted out the several bags he had brought, all of which contained the universe.

Pity······

Many people are suffering from jet lag. In addition, people from the embassy are still in contact with local manufacturers who sell equipment.

Yin Tianshui sighed inwardly when he saw the anxious look on the middle-aged man on the phone.

Now when our own country goes out to do some things, we are always embarrassed and treated coldly.

I don't know how long they will stay here.

Yin Tianshui didn't feel sleepy at all, so he took out the magazine and started reviewing again.

He found that the characters seemed to be swaying in front of his eyes easily, and the old professor's voice rang in his ears.

He began to chant softly, word by word.

It turns out that speaking is not as difficult as he thought.

Two days later, the delegation members, led by embassy staff, took a bus to the factory.

This time I purchased a shield machine.

Two years ago, I bought two TBMs once, but the purchasing experience was not pleasant.

When I walked into the workshop, I didn't see many workers. Surrounding the team leader, the deputy minister and the leaders of the Military Commission, were several tall foreigners with green eyes, white skin, high noses and big beards.

They were talking in broken English and bragging about their equipment.

The other party brought his own translator and he could speak Chinese, not standard, but he could understand it.

Yin Tianshui followed closely, seeing that nothing happened without him for the time being, and the two sides were now communicating enthusiastically.

He was just paying attention to the translator, whether he could accurately translate what the two parties said.

Those people claimed to be engineers and senior technicians, and they seemed to know a lot about the equipment.

Yin Tianshui looked at the huge machines in front of him. He didn't understand these machines.

However, the machine that looked like it had just been painted, with its shiny pestle standing in the large workshop, made him feel uneasy.

"Xiao Shui, did you find anything wrong?"

Wu Songhao approached him and asked in a low voice.

Yin Tianshui shook his head:

"Not yet, the translation is not wrong."

At this moment, Yin Tianshui was attracted by the other party's quotation.

The translator said carefully word for word:

"Fifteen million units are calculated in marks."

Yin Tianshui knew that this time he came out to purchase five shield machines.

Fifteen million times five, then...

Now the conversion rate of Unity is very low. Five TBMs equal Unity of about one billion.

A senior engineer from the Fourth Machinery Department was bargaining:

"Is 1000 million okay? We want to buy five units, give us a preferential price."

Yin Tianshui looked at the engineer who was not rational and angry when he bargained. How could the other party be willing to give in?

But here, he has no right to speak.

However, based on his decades of knowledge of later generations, the prices of these machines are not generally high.

They are completely beheading their own people as they are being taken advantage of.

Several people from our party joined in the bargaining debate.

The other party only left two people to talk occasionally in a lukewarm manner, with a very tough attitude.

Yin Tianshui saw three people coming to the side, laughing and talking as if no one was watching, and their voices were loud.

They all speak their own mother tongue, and in their minds, we all look like big fools.

There was clear disdain in the eyes that glanced over.

Ever since he found that there was no place for him to perform, Yin Tianshui had been following the crowd at a short distance.

At this time, he slowly approached the three people and looked around.

"Hahaha, it's almost a pile of scrap metal, but it makes them fight so crazy."

"Our price should be able to increase a little more. We sold them two units two years ago, and the price was only one-third less than the five units this time."

"Don't compare like that, those replacement parts can still be used for a while.

For those of us, the money we spend on replacing parts and hiring our people to install and repair it until it is ready for use will cost us even more later than we do now. "

"If they grit their teeth and insist on counteroffering, we will comply with them. Anyway, we can still make money from them later."
