Fang Mingyuan was not in a relaxed mood. Although the rapid growth of the Nasdaq Composite Index had made the funds from the shares in his hands more and more considerable, but breaking through 4,500 points so quickly made him There is also a sense of crisis.

In his previous life, he could not remember the exact date of the collapse of the Nasdaq stock market. He only remembered that it should be after the Nasdaq Composite Index broke through 5,000 points, when investors were reveling, and the Nasdaq Composite Index Suddenly turned downward, and in less than two years, it fell back to more than a thousand points! The entire market was in mourning, and trillions of dollars of assets were wiped out. Now the Nasdaq Composite Index has broken through Forty-five hundred points, doesn’t that mean that the “gorgeous” moment of great reversal is getting closer and closer?

Due to the lessons learned from the Russian Prime Minister's car accident, this sense of urgency doubled Fang Mingyuan's psychological pressure. There was always a feeling that the Nasdaq Composite Index would collapse at any moment. This made him always have the urge to put his Yahoo shares in Nasdaq. The urge to sell out on the Stark stock market.

However, fortunately, his mental age far beyond his actual age allows him to suppress this impulse and not do anything crazy. If he dumps all of Yahoo's shares on the Nasdaq stock market in one fell swoop, I'm afraid the big crash of the Nasdaq Composite Index was caused by him.

However, whenever he calmed down, he couldn't help but think about the possibility that the Nasdaq Composite Index would collapse before 5,000 points. After all, it was a stock worth tens of billions of dollars, and no one could ignore it. .So Fang Mingyuan could only constantly arrange work for himself to avoid being distracted. Fortunately, he originally had a lot of things to do, so he didn't have to worry about running out of things to do.

Milton Douglas led the Hirakawa Railway Transportation Company Japan Railway Inspection Team. On the second day of Williams' visit to Fang Mingyuan, they arrived at Tokyo Airport. The members of the inspection team were arranged to stay in a hotel in Tokyo. Milton Douglas was taken to Fang Mingyuan's villa in Tokyo Bay.

It has been more than seven years since the Fengtong Railway was contracted by the Fang family at the end of 1992. Under the strong rectification of Milton Douglas, it has been quite effective. Coupled with the strong rise of Pingchuan's economy, since 1996 Since mid-1999, Pingchuan Railway Transport Company has reached a balance of payments and gradually begun to achieve profitability. By 1999, Pingchuan Railway Transport Company's net income reached 1.37 billion yuan, which can be said to have entered a period of healthy development. .And the large-scale construction of Tongyi will give Pingchuan Railway Transportation Company an opportunity to improve its efficiency to a higher level.

However, Milton Douglas was already in his seventies at this time, and his body and energy prevented him from devoting himself wholeheartedly to the development of Fengtong Railway as he had done in previous years. At the end of 1999, At that time, Milton Douglas had formally submitted an application to Fang Mingyuan that he was no longer suitable to serve as the deputy general manager of Pingchuan Railway Transportation Company and planned to retire as a pure consultant.

Although Fang Mingyuan feels very sorry, he also believes that Pingchuan Railway Transportation Company has a good foundation under Milton's rectification. At this time, it needs new consultants and new development ideas to ensure its future.

Continue to develop rapidly.

His eyes naturally fell on Japan. As the first country in the world to successfully operate high-speed railways commercially, Japan's railways have also gone through a detour. At that time, all major railways in Japan were state-owned and operated by private railway companies.

Most of the railways are relatively remote, or they lead to relatively sparsely populated areas. However, there are 22,000 kilometers of railways in more than 370,000 square kilometers of land. This proportion is, among developed countries,

It's also quite rare.

Therefore, the state-owned Japan National Railway Company has become Japan's largest state-owned enterprise in the 1980s, with more than 100,000 employees and more than 10,000 railway miles. But there is a rule that is common in both the East and the West in this world, that

All enterprises run by the state are bound to run deficits. Complete monopoly state-owned enterprises are a special case, and Japan National Railways is no exception. In the mid-1980s, accumulated deficits over the years had affected the company's normal operations and brought the company to the brink of bankruptcy.

And it has placed a huge burden on Japan's national finances.

Moreover, although the employees of the railway company were not government civil servants, the railway company at that time was unsatisfactory in terms of software services and hardware facilities. Every year, it was criticized by a large number of Japanese citizens from all aspects.

In order to change this situation, the Japanese government decided to privatize the national railway company starting in 1987. The reform was a long one. From 1987 to the time of Fang Mingyuan’s death in his previous life, Japan’s railway reform

It's still not over. But the results of the reform are obvious. Those railway employees who used to have a tyrannical and unreasonable attitude have changed significantly in their attitude towards passengers after privatization. They truly regard passengers as their food and clothing parents, and their service awareness has continued.

Enhancement. The shabby feeling originally given by the national railway company has gradually disappeared. The original manual ticket checking has been replaced by automatic ticket checking machines, and the original non-air-conditioned carriages have been replaced by comfortable new carriages.

Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. Fang Mingyuan believes that Japan's railway reform measures and railway transportation services have many things that China can learn from.

Milton Douglas also strongly agreed with Fang Mingyuan's idea. In his opinion, compared with American railway transportation, in terms of passenger transportation, the current situation of Japanese railways is more worthy of learning by the Chinese railway department. After all, in the United States,

People drive short distances and fly long distances, which has become a common choice among citizens. Only a relatively small number of people travel by train. Most of the time, the railway department is mainly responsible for transporting bulk cargo. And because the United States has more than 9 million square meters

For kilometers of land, the population of the United States is too small! This has also resulted in the current situation that many things of the American Railway Company are not suitable for the China Railway. But Japan is different. The population is even denser than that of China, and the huge

The amount of population mobility has caused the railways of the two countries to face the same difficulties on many issues. The practices of the Japanese Railway Company are of great reference value.

"This time, I brought all the key personnel of Hirakawa Railway Transport Company to Tokyo to let them see the level of Japan's railway software and hardware, so that they don't have to be proud like our country's western cowboys!" Milton said with a face.

He said with disdain, "Fang, I remember there is an old saying in your country, called the toad sitting in the well. Hum, I think some people are like that toad now! They think that the current level is a first-class service standard.

"

Since the Fengtong Railway achieved balance, it has naturally attracted the attention of many people in the Ministry of Railways. For a time, the ministry and major railway bureaus have sent personnel to Pingchuan to inspect, trying to understand why such a railway is nothing.

The branch railways in China were actually able to achieve a balance of payments. Last year, the annual profit of Fengtong Railway exceeded 1.3 billion yuan, which set a historical record for China's branch railways. Pingchuan Railway Transport Company,

It has become the favorite of leaders at all levels of the Ministry of Railways, and various praises have followed one after another. If Fengtong Railway was not a pilot unit for railway reform and it was not appropriate to publicize it at this period, I am afraid that it would have been promoted domestically.

Everyone knows. Pingchuan Railway Transport Company has made money, and the income of the company's employees has naturally increased. With more money in their pockets, their waistline has naturally become stronger. When they speak, they are also confident. But they

Some of his arrogant words made Milton sneer at him.

Milton said: "And, as far as I know, won't your first high-speed railway in China be completed and open to traffic by the end of this year? It would be good to let them see the operating level of Japan's high-speed railway and open their eyes!"

The first high-speed railway in China that Milton mentioned is the high-speed railway from the Imperial Capital to Jincheng that is currently under construction. The design speed has reached 250 kilometers per hour. After completion, the journey time from the Imperial Capital to Jincheng can be

Guaranteed to be within forty minutes. This will undoubtedly greatly shorten the "distance" between the two municipalities.

"Hey, by the way, Fang, your first high-speed railway is about to be completed in one year, but why is there no news about your high-speed train? Or are you planning to import it from abroad?" Milton asked curiously.

.

Fang Mingyuan chuckled and said: "Milton, don't worry, the ones running on it will definitely be our China-made high-speed train sets!" The Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Science and Technology have joined forces, and many research institutes are currently finalizing the high-speed train sets. And the test

The "China Star" car, as early as the end of 1999, had already completed the electrification speed-increasing transformation, and the designed maximum speed reached 200 kilometers per hour on the Beijing-Shenzhen railway section, running 243 times.

The top speed of kilometers per hour set the "First Speed ​​of China Railway" at that time and became the first high-speed railway locomotive produced in China. However, due to the confidentiality of the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Science and Technology, it has not been made public. I believe that after half a year, it will be re-released

With adjustments and deep exploration of potential, as well as the excellent road conditions of the Beijing-Tianjin high-speed railway, this type of high-speed train will definitely be able to perfectly meet the original design requirements.

Compared with this, Fang Mingyuan is actually more concerned about the domestic feasibility experiment of using tilting trains to speed up the existing Huaxia Railway to high-speed railways. Because this is related to the utilization of all the more than 50,000 kilometers of domestic railways.

, is also related to the future capacity growth of Fengtong Railway. After all, the cost of building a new high-speed railway is really staggering.
