When contacting the Ministry of Railways, Feng Xiaochen did this kind of thing, and the company's cooperation department did this. Feng Xiaochen called Wang Genji in Lin Bei, and Wang Genji patted his chest on the other end of the phone, claiming that the matter was very simple and he could do it immediately. Feng Xiaochen knew Wang Genji's energy, so he no longer worried. That night, Lin Bei Heavy Machinery was the host to invite Feng Xiaochen and a group of officials from the Lin Bei Railway Branch. Everyone was chatting and laughing at the dinner table, without any need to explain in detail.

The next day, Wang Genji called and said that the Ministry of Railways had a reply, but instead of directly agreeing to arrange the car bag, he sent a deputy director of the Transportation Bureau named Tian Xing to Linbei in person to interview Feng Xiaochen. As for the content of the interview, Wang Genji is unknown.

"It should be a good thing. When the director on their side called me back, he was quite polite." Wang Genji said on the phone, with a little depressed tone, obviously because he felt that he was bragging too much and had not fulfilled it now, and he was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, the other party sent someone to Lin Bei to talk to me. It should be because of some ideas of cooperation. It's better to meet and talk to each other." Feng Xiaochen comforted Wang Genji like this, and at the same time he was wondering in his heart. Is it necessary to send someone to Lin Bei to talk to me? Is there really something important? Isn't it more appropriate to talk to me when I return to the capital?

Tian Xing came very quickly. Almost when Feng Xiaochen was still on the phone with Wang Genji, Tian Xing had already arrived in Linbei. Song Yang called Lin Chong from the Linbei Railway Branch and asked about Feng Xiaochen's location. Feng Xiaochen said that he could go to the branch to meet Tian Xing, but the other party said that he would not bother Feng Xiaochen's big drive. Director Tian also planned to learn about Lin Chong's transportation tasks on the spot. The two sides would just arrange for a meeting in Lin Chong.

Since Song Yang said this, Feng Xiaochen would not force him. He asked Liu Wang to reopen a large conference room in Lin, decorate it for a while, and then purchased various fruits and drinks to make a grand reception rack. It had just been arranged here, and the small car from the Linbei Railway Branch had arrived. Accompanied by Song Yang, Tian Xing walked out of the car with a smile and shook hands and greeted Feng Xiaochen, Liu Wang and others who were coming to greet him.

It is not the first time that Tian Xing and Feng Xiaochen have met, but it has been several years since the last meeting, so they have to exchange a few greetings and say nonsense such as weight gain and loss, good and bad complexion. In fact, everyone can't remember whether the other party has gained weight or lost weight. Anyway, it's not harmful to say such things wrong.

"We have to do this for a long time, Director Tian traveled to Tian in person, which is really disappointing." Feng Xiaochen said to Tian Xing with a smile.

Tian Xing waved his hand and said, "President Feng is polite. Actually, I didn't come from all the time, but I happened to talk to them at the Northern Bureau. The department told me that there was something like this, and I don't think the distance was far. In addition, I haven't seen Mr. Feng for several years, so I took a ride here."

Feng Xiaochen then suddenly realized that the other party did not come from the capital, but was inspecting this area and came to talk to him. The railway department had such convenience, and there were rides wherever he wanted. When he wanted to go, he could go there. At the level of Tianxing, he would naturally get a soft sleeper and a small stove to get on the bus. It was really hard to say that there was nothing to do.

After the politeness of the people, under the guidance of Liu Wang, they entered the office building, came to the conference room, and took the seats of the guests and hosts. Because Tian Xing came mainly for Feng Xiaochen, Feng Xiaochen sat in the middle of the master's side, and Liu Wang sat next to him. In addition to Tian Xing and Song Yang, there were several railway staff members on the other side, and Tian Xing also introduced Feng Xiaochen one by one.

"I came to Linbei this time to coordinate the transportation of Linzhong's export accessories. According to the Linbei Branch, Linzhong has many transportation requirements, and often involves the transportation of super-large parts, and the requirements for timeliness are very tight. The Transportation Bureau believes that we should establish a long-term mechanism to avoid discussions every matter. This is also a need to protect the equipment industry from entering the world."

After the two sides gave each other an opening remark, Tian Xing went straight to the point, and when he opened his mouth, Feng Xiaochen and Liu Wang were very surprised. The other party did not go around in any circle, nor did he emphasize his own difficulties first, but instead proposed to establish a long-term mechanism, which was exactly what Feng Xiaochen and the others hoped.

But it was because Tian Xing spoke readily that Feng Xiaochen felt uneasy. The other party gave you good things and came to the door to say that this kind of thing was a conspiracy no matter how you thought. However, since the other party had not expressed the real purpose, Feng Xiaochen was not inconvenient to speculate randomly. He just smiled and said, "Director Tian said it so well. I am really anxious about what we are anxious about. Thinking about what we think. I thank the Ministry of Railways for its strong support."

"This is what we should do." Tian Xing said, then he changed his subject and said, "However, Mr. Feng and Director Liu, this time the Linbei Branch was unable to coordinate the car widows for you, and there were indeed objective difficulties. During this period, the Northern Bureau has urgent transportation tasks, and each car widow has been arranged. It is really difficult to make a car widow for you specifically. Director Song must have told you too?"

"It's true." Feng Xiaochen said, "It is precisely because Director Song has difficulties that we have to ask the Ministry of Railways for help directly to see if we can arrange it from the Ministry. This project in Spain is an important project for our equipment system to move to Europe. If the customer is dissatisfied due to after-sales service issues, which will affect the reputation of China's equipment manufacturing industry, the loss will be too great."

"What is the longest time you can wait?" Tian Xing asked.

Feng Xiaochen looked at Liu Wang, and Liu Wang said, "Director Tian, ​​I'm going to tell you, the customer is already giving advice. Even if we can ship the parts today, transport the accessories to Hongshan Port, and then ship them to Spain by sea, and unloading and transportation, it will take at least 40 days. We really can't afford to delay a day."

"This is difficult." Tian Xing frowned his eyebrows, "If you transport from east to west, it would be easier. The transportation task from east to west is still very loose. Not to mention a car, even ten or eight car bags, I can arrange it for you at any time. But now you transport from west to east, and several lines are full, so we really can't arrange it for you."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Feng Xiaochen with some hints in his eyes.

Is this what we want to make the conditions? A thought flashed through Feng Xiaochen's mind. Tian Xing said so much that he had almost no room for anything, but if he really had no room for anything, why should he go there? According to the general rules, the other party emphasized the difficulties and should be waiting for his own offer. However, Tian Xing did not give a specific direction. What price did he hope he would offer?

"Mr. Feng, Director Tian just said that the transportation capacity from east to west is relatively loose, and from west to east is more tense. So can we consider transporting from east to west?" Meng Yang, who was sitting on the other side of Feng Xiaochen, whispered.

"Transport from east to west?" Feng Xiaochen was stunned. Is this Meng Yang wrong? Lin Chong's bottom beam must be transported by sea and must be sent to Hongshan Port. Hongshan Port is in the east and Lin Chong is in the west, transporting goods from east to west. What the hell is this?

He was about to ask Meng Yang if he was wrong, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. Yes, just now, Tian Xing tried his best to emphasize the issue of going from east to west and from west to east. Did he just say it casually? The hint he gave himself was clearly aimed at the direction of transportation. It is true that Hongshan Port is in the east, but Spain is in the west of China. If it is transported from east to west, it will be sent directly to Spain...

"Director Tian means, I suggest we walk the Eurasian Continental Bridge?"

Feng Xiaochen's eyes lit up and he immediately understood what Tian Xing meant. After a long time of trouble, the deputy director of the Ministry of Railways Transportation Bureau came for the Eurasian Continental Bridge.

The concept of a bridge refers to a channel connecting two lands. However, a continental bridge is the opposite concept, which refers to a channel connecting two oceans. From East Asia to Western Europe, the traditional transportation method is to transport by sea, through the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, the South China Sea, the Strait of Malacca, the Indian Ocean, then either enter the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal, or go around the Cape of Good Hope into the Atlantic Ocean, and finally arrive at the west coast of the Eurasian continent. This route is 30,000 kilometers long and takes 30 to 40 days.

In 1971, led by the former Soviet Union, the European railway network and the Soviet Siberian Railway were integrated, and the Eurasian Continental Bridge, which started from Vladivostok in the east and ended at the port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands in the west, was opened, with a total length of 13,000 kilometers. The opening of the Eurasian Continental Bridge enabled the goods that originally needed to be transported by sea to Europe directly via the railway. Since the route was more than half shorter than sea transportation, and the speed of the train was higher than that of the sea, the transportation time could be greatly shortened. It only took about 10 days for cargoes to travel from East Asia to Western Europe through the Eurasian Continental Bridge, which saved more than 2/3 of the shipping.

Continental bridge transportation is not without its shortcomings, and high freight is the biggest one. However, for some goods that pursue timeliness, saving 20 days of time is far higher than the freight expenditure, which is why many cargo owners prefer Continental bridge transportation.

In 1990, the railway from China's Alashan Pass to Drugeba Port in Kazakhstan was connected. The following year, the international railway freight transport was opened, thus opening the second Eurasian continental bridge from Lianyungang in the east and Rotterdam in the west. It is called the Eurasian continental bridge in China. The Eurasian continental bridge is only 10,800 kilometers long, and the geographical conditions along the Lanxin Railway through the Longhai and Lanxin Railway are also better than the cold Siberian Railway, and are considered to be a more promising continental bridge.
