Chapter 236 You guys call this paving the way?

On the other side, in the May Meeting office.

"What's going on? Do they want to use this project to compare with our Los Angeles-San Francisco project?"

Houston looked at the live broadcast in front of him in astonishment, and for a moment he didn't know how to react.

Opposite him, the assistant nodded slightly and replied in a steady voice:

"That's what it looks like at the moment - but I can't figure out why they would do it."

"Judging from the current situation, we have an advantage in every aspect, and such a comparison will only make their disadvantages even greater."

"It can even be said that this is a suicide propaganda strategy."

"They will not be able to achieve results and will only do the work for us that is supposed to be done by us."

"To be honest, without their program, we originally planned to report on the progress of their Beijing-Guangzhou Railway construction in parallel."

After hearing the assistant's words, Houston frowned and fell silent.

What are these Chinese people planning to do?

As the assistant said, the Los Angeles-San Francisco high-speed rail project is one of the largest infrastructure projects in the United States in the past decade, and the amount of money and technology invested in it is only a handful in the world.

The federal government even hesitated to overdraw its budget for the next 10 years and postponed the New York subway renovation project just to ensure the progress of the project.

Under this circumstance, all resource allocations of the Los Angeles-San Francisco project can be said to be top-notch.

How do you say that sentence?

If you put enough seasonings in your dish, even if the ingredient is a leather shoe, it will be delicious.

This is the case with this high-speed rail project.

With the support of many resources, success will not be surprising, but failure will be incredible.

Therefore, when faced with this situation, their best choice should be to avoid its edge.

How could it be possible that instead of retreating, they rushed forward blankly?

Is it possible that they have other trump cards?

Thinking of this, Houston asked:

"Have the other party's project status been investigated clearly? Have they received other assistance?"

"I mean, have they received further support from Siemens, Kawasaki Heavy Industries or Alstom?"

"No."

The assistant shook his head and replied.

"According to current information, China's cooperation with Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Alstom and Bombardier is within the scope of the contract."

"These three companies will not directly send personnel to participate in the project construction, but will only provide technical assistance."

"In this case, their engineering efficiency is largely predictable -- based on previous project progress."

"Three months. Yes, if full mobilization is taken into account, they should be able to complete the project, but they will definitely not be able to complete it better than us."

"That's strange."

Houston couldn't help but scratch his head.

What exactly is this fuss about?

After thinking for a moment, he sighed heavily.

If you don't understand, then don't think about it.

"Notify our publicity department to broadcast their program live."

"The weight. Try to be equivalent to the weight of the Los Angeles high-speed rail project."

"Since they want to be our backdrop, we have no reason to refuse. Let's make their backdrop more conspicuous."

"I understand, I'll do it right now."

With that said, the assistant left the office.

But Houston, who was still in the office, could not help but feel uneasy.

At the same time, the Los Angeles high-speed rail project construction site.

Evans was just an ordinary construction worker, and his participation in this high-speed rail project was purely coincidental. But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he arrived at the construction site, he would become the focus of the entire project.

There is no other reason, just because his image is really extraordinary.

Underneath the neat work clothes are well-developed muscles, a tough face, and slightly curly golden hair, as if an ancient Greek sculpture had descended into the world.

Especially when he swung the hammer and hit the rails on the ground, the sense of power that erupted almost made the reporters present feel stars in their eyes.

——

This is true for both men and women.

Because this is a typical individual representation of "American power".

Who can resist such an image?

Even the most rational person can't help but look at him a few more times after seeing him, right?

Therefore, after the live broadcast started, the on-site director immediately made adjustments to the original live broadcast plan and shifted the focus originally intended to be on the engineering project to him.

Interviews and filming have already been arranged, and even the script has been written by a dedicated person.

Now, Evans' real job is to get up on time and go to the construction site every day, and then spend an hour memorizing the day's script, and "play out" the live plot according to the director's requirements.

——

This is exactly what he is doing at the moment.

Evans swung the hammer and struck the rails beneath him fiercely. The live camera slowly approached, first showing a panoramic view of the construction site, and then focusing on the muscles of his arm.

Then, the camera moved down, giving a close-up of the rails with sparks flying everywhere.

The picture can be said to be perfect.

After all the elements were photographed, the camera finally scanned his face.

And at this moment, the rising sun behind him cast a golden light on his profile.

The reporter who had been waiting for a long time quickly handed over the microphone and asked:

"Evans, how was work today?"

Evans held the hammer with one hand, raised his left hand to wipe his sweat, and then replied:

"Very nice, Miss Ruth."

"You know, our work always goes very smoothly."

"The technology is very advanced, and there are some equipment and tools that I have never even seen before - you know, I am an experienced worker, but everything here is still beyond my imagination."

"Can you tell me more specifically?"

Reporter Ruth asked according to the script she had prepared.

"certainly."

"Look, behind me, that's a shield machine being transferred."

"It's a big guy. It will be sent to the hill one kilometer away and dig a tunnel in the mountain."

"In 10 days, he can dig a 200-meter-long tunnel in just 10 days."

"This is simply unimaginable. You know, my father's generation would have spent almost a lifetime building such a tunnel."

"Amazing! What about you? Do you feel disappointed because of this?"

Ruth continued to ask.

"Lost? Of course not."

Evans' face was full of surprise.

Of course, such surprise is just an act.

"I don't need to feel disappointed about it. In fact, I'm proud of it."

"You also noticed that my job did not disappear because of it. On the contrary, it made my job more valuable."

"I just need to focus on my own things, like smashing this rail."

"In the past two hours, my friends and I have completed 60 meters of track laying, averaging 30 meters per hour, which is amazing."

"It's really unbelievable. How long are you going to work here?"

"Who knows?"
