Chapter 97 Tram?

Three days later, Liu Wenyue, who was far away in Hong Kong, came to Leipzig with the An-124 transport plane that was urgently restocked by the An-124 transport plane.

The first day of the opening of the United Supermarket in Berlin sold 60 million in sales. The average of the 300,000 passenger traffic on that day was equivalent to 200 East Demarks per person.

Before the market opened, the 450 tons of goods that the An-124 strategic transport aircraft were urgently airlifted from Hong Kong, sold more than 200 tons on the first day. When Liang Haiping saw that the inventory situation was not good, he only placed 20,000 people on the second day and sealed the shopping entrance of the supermarket. The Soviet Red Army's European Command even dispatched three An-124 transport aircraft overnight to Hong Kong.

When Liu Wenyue walked into the suite at the Honor Hotel, Liang Yuan was leaning on the sofa and looking at the information of Dongde Carl Zeiss.

As one of the oldest optical manufacturing companies on this planet, Carl Zeiss' products have always been famous for their excellent production. The United States-led Apollo moon landing, the Hubble Space Telescope Project and the Soviet-led Mir space station all used optical instruments produced by Zeiss.

Before the end of the Cold War, the two split Zeiss companies located in East and West Germany, from the high-end military industry in outer space of the planet to the ordinary civilian cameras, can be said to be entangled and difficult to separate. Unfortunately, with the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1990, the entire democratic Germany was swallowed up by the Federal Germany, and the Zeiss AG company located in West Germany naturally annexed Zeiss in East Germany.

In the not-far future, East Germany Zeiss, which once had billions of dollars in assets, was only occasionally mentioned in the mouths of a few camera lens enthusiasts. Other glory was annihilated in the illusory torrent of time.

When Liang Yuan saw Liu Wenyue coming in, he threw a copy of the information around him and said, "Old Liu, look at this."

Liu Wenyue took the information of Zeiss in East Germany and asked: "Is it related to Zeiss in East Germany this time when Mr. Yuanda attended the Leipzig exhibition?"

"Yeah." Liang Yuan nodded.

"Old Liu, you have been in the company for more than a year. You know the operation of the Hong Kong company. Currently, the company is somewhat similar to a holding company in Hong Kong, and its specific business is in China." Liang Yuan pondered for a moment before continuing.

"Have Lao Qi told you about the f14 fighter jet?" Liang Yuan asked.

Liu Wenyue nodded.

"In the future, the company's business is likely to expand to the military industry. This time, there are several main things to transfer Lao Liu to Germany. One is to replace my uncle in the United Supermarket in Berlin."

Liang Yuan had just finished talking about the adjustment of the supermarket management. The door rang and Liang Haiping walked in from outside.

"Where are those two little girls?" Liang Haiping asked in surprise when he saw Liang Yuan staying alone in the suite.

"I went to Angelina's side with the embassy's translator. The three of them said they wanted to learn languages ​​from each other." Liang Yuan said.

In order to facilitate Liang Haiping's work in Democratic Germany, Ambassador to Germany Huang Jiaming enthusiastically transferred two translators for Liang Haiping, intending to accompany Liang Hai to discuss official duties and the other accompany Liang Yuan, who is regarded as a family member, and the two lolitas.

Liang Yuan, a guy with a German level similar to that of the local natives, could not use German translation? In a difficult situation, Liang Yuan sent the person to Angelina who was very interested in learning Chinese. The two little girls also joined in the fun and followed. As long as Liang Yuan did not go out, the three of them were learning languages ​​in Angelina's room.

"Uncle, it's really time for you to come back." Liang Yuan smiled.

"I just mentioned to Lao Liu that my uncle was removed from his post. It was less than 10 seconds later. My uncle came in. I really doubt whether my uncle was lying outside the door and eavesdropping." Liang Yuan said with a smile.

"Xiaoyuan. Please remove me quickly." Liang Haiping laughed.

"I have been staying in Berlin these days, so I understand Wen Yue's hard work at the beginning." Liang Haiping said with deep feelings.

Although the Soviet Red Army's headquarters in Democratic Germany is definitely a emperor-like existence, it is not a harmonious relationship between the United States and the headquarters in daily work exchanges, and conflicts between the United States often occur.

As an outsider, Liang Haiping, although the supermarket currently has the need for a cold war and this loud golden signboard, he can't be too arrogant when opening a business business.

Although the high-rise roads are unobstructed, the relationship between the middle and lower levels still needs to be constructed by the supermarket itself. As the saying goes, the King of Hell is easy to see, and the little ghost is difficult to deal with. Liang Haiping feels quite worried these days.

Liang Yuan threw a copy of the information of East Germany Zeiss to Liang Haiping, and then said: "The second thing is to cooperate with East Germany Zeiss. After Hong Kong introduced an/axx-01 optical TV, Lao Liu wanted to obtain technical support from East Germany Zeiss. I estimate that the East Germany Mark's cash flow generated in the shopping mall in the future should be very large, so it is better to try your best to spend some of it."

Seeing Liang Haiping reading the information of Zeiss in East Germany, Liang Yuan took out a few newspapers from the coffee table in front of the sofa and handed them to Liang Haiping and Liu Wenyue.

"This is the Frankfurt Review published by the Federal Germany the day before yesterday. I asked Angelina to buy it from the international train. My uncle and Lao Liu looked at the front page of the newspaper."

"Xiaoyuan, my uncle can't understand German, either." Liang Haiping took the newspaper in confusion.

"Picture, uncle, look at the front page picture first." Liang Yuan said with a smile.

Liu Wenyue took the Frankfurt Reviews handed over by Liang Yuan, and only after unfolding it found that the entire front page of the newspaper was almost filled with pictures.

Below a row of large bold German titles, a huge map came into view. Liu Wenyue looked carefully and suddenly realized that the map was very familiar. After a brief thought, he suddenly remembered that this was a panoramic map of Berlin city that integrated east and west Berlin together.

Sure enough, Liu Wenyue easily discovered Berlin's landmark building, with a prominent mark on the map of Berlin TV Tower more than 300 meters high.

Not far from the right side of the Berlin TV Tower, there is a building similar to a circular stadium. Looking at the winding curve in the middle of the circle, Liu Wenyue knew that it was the Berlin United Supermarket, which had just opened.

Below the Berlin TV Tower and its own supermarket is a long black and white line. The entire line starts from the suburbs of West Berlin and ends outside East Berlin. Liu Wenyue thought about it and realized that this should be a subway or something.

Several patterns below the Berlin city map confirm Liu Wenyue's guess. The protagonists of the pictures are five highly streamlined trains, and the trains are either stationary on the platform or on elevated lines, which look like a new type of urban tram.

Could this be a tram transportation plan? Liu Wenyue secretly guessed.

After a moment, Liang Haiping also finished reading the newspaper.

Liang Yuan looked at the two of them and raised his head, and said with a smile: "My uncle and Lao Liu should have guessed it almost the same."

"It seems like a transportation plan that travels through the entire Berlin." Liang Haiping said.

"Xiaoyuan, is this the big thing you said?" Liang Haiping asked curiously.

Liang Yuan nodded, took the newspaper handed back by Liang Haiping, spread it to the coffee table in front of him, and pointed to the picture of the entire Berlin city that included the east and west, saying: "This is a plan proposed by the Federal Republic of Germany in the first half of this year. The Federal Republic of Germany proposed to cooperate with East and West Germany to build a transverse Berlin transportation system."

Looking at the incredible expressions on the two people's faces, Liang Yuan smiled and continued: "After the Soviet Union's General Secretary Gorbachev proposed a new diplomatic thinking and eased the Cold War confrontation, the diplomatic policy of Democratic Germany also turned closely."

"Now, General Secretary of the United Socialist Party of Democratic Germany, Erich Honak, delivered a speech last year, proposing that in the future, democratic Germany will be committed to promoting the normalization of diplomacy with Western countries. The top priority is to strive to achieve the daily and ordinaryization of relations between the two Germanys through ten to fifteen years, and realize the free circulation of personnel, materials and commodities between the East and West Germany."

"It sounds incredible." Liang Yuan said.

In 1988, Democratic German soldiers with live ammunition on the Berlin Wall were still vigilantly watching the inside and outside the walls, but the top leaders had already shown signs of easing. The boring economy within the Warsaw Pact Group was no longer enough to support the entire group to continue confronting NATO. The domestic reforms of Warsaw Pact Group were heard one after another, and the people became increasingly dissatisfied with the shortage of daily necessities caused by economic rigidity.

Since Democratic Germany is located on the European front line connected with NATO, this special political and geographical environment prompts the ruling party of Democratic Germany to pursue alliances with the Soviet Union and follow the Soviet Union's policies. The Constitution of Democratic Germany once clearly stipulated that Democratic Germany is an "indivisible part of the socialist family" and will "eternally and unswervingly form an alliance with the Soviet Union."

Therefore, when General Secretary of the Soviet Communist Party Gorbachev proposed to completely destroy nuclear weapons, dissolve the Warsaw Pact, NATO's two major military systems and prevent the militarization of space (Note 1), Erich Honak also proposed the normalization of the relationship between Germany.

"Whether it can be done or not, General Secretary Erich Honak's speech was in the Democratic German newspaper." Liang Yuan opened the "Frankfurt Review" on the coffee table and pointed to a large piece of German letters and said: "These are reprints from Federal Germany."

"Now East and West Germany have started contacting the construction of the transportation system across Berlin. This news has been confirmed by Angelina's side."

In fact, if Liang Yuan did not intervene, there would be no result in the construction of the entire Berlin transportation system. The Democratic Germany had a half-hearted contact and dispute until the disintegration of Democratic Germany a few years later, neither side reached any meaningful agreement.

"It seems like it's a tram line." Liu Wenyue said as he looked at the five trains in the newspaper.

"But what does this line have to do with us? Does Xiaoyuan plan to undertake the business of building tram lines?" Liang Haiping asked.

"Uncle, the road construction thing has nothing to do with us. What is related to these trains, and this thing is what I am talking about." Liang Yuan said, pointing to the streamlined car bodies in the newspaper.
