Resource Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 316 Suspicion, Misunderstanding

An investment of almost 100 million yuan per kilometer is a huge burden on the finances of a country like China with a land length of several thousand kilometers from east to west and from south to north. Moreover, high-speed railways

It is impossible to charge fees and repay loans like expressways, which means that it will be more difficult for high-speed railways to ensure profitability. Even in Japan, which operates the best high-speed railways, not all high-speed railway lines can guarantee profitability.

State subsidies are needed.

As for the tilting train, the investment is much less. It only needs to be replaced with a new train set, and it can run a top speed of 200 kilometers per hour on the existing line, which not only improves efficiency, but also does not cost too much.

Reduce costs and avoid heavy debt. In this case, Fengtong Railway can increase its transportation capacity in a short period of time. The application for Fengtong Railway to switch to new train sets has actually been submitted to the Ministry of Railways for approval, and Milton also knows it.

In the future, the Huaxia High-speed Railway will be equipped with domestic high-speed train sets. Although there may be a gap between performance and top speed of advanced foreign trains, all of this can be caught up in the future, rather than holding a large sum of money.

He used the foreign exchange to purchase foreign technology, repeating the painful lesson that happened after the big aircraft was discontinued. Fang Mingyuan’s efforts over the years have yielded relatively satisfactory results. This is why Su Huandong still holds the concurrent post of Vice Premier of the State Council after he became the Vice Premier of the State Council.

Important reasons for the post of Minister of Railways.

January 14th is a day that Luo Dajun will remember forever. As the stationmaster of Pingchuan Railway Station, Luo Dajun went abroad for the first time in his life. Before that, he had never thought that he could also be employed by the company.

Qian was sent to Japan for inspection. There were nine people in the inspection team, including Milton Douglas. The nine people were divided into several departments to inspect the parts of their respective concerns. Luo Dajun and Zhang Xu served as

Representatives from Hirakawa Railway Station came. The main purpose was to see how train stations in Japan operate. The two followed their escorts to Tokyo Railway Station early in the morning. They would set out from here to learn about Japan in person.

The operation conditions of major railway stations in several major cities. This inspection will last for a week. At the same time, other members of the inspection team were also divided into several groups and embarked on their own inspection journeys.

"You said there is an old American man in Fang's villa. His name is Milton Douglas, and he is the former vice president of the American Pacific Railway?" Williams put down the knife in his hand in surprise. No wonder this name makes him think

It sounds so familiar. Chevron Oil Company and Pacific Railroad have a long-term transportation agreement. As a senior executive of Chevron Oil Company, he naturally knows the important people among important business partners.

"Yes, we have contacted the company and compared the photos. We can confirm that the old man in Fang's villa now is Mr. Milton Douglas." Armstrong said.

Williams suddenly lost the desire to continue eating, picked up a napkin and wiped his hands and said: "Why did he come, have you found out?" Milton Douglas, former vice president of Pacific Railroad Company

, was once a famous figure in the American railway transportation industry. Although he has been retired for almost ten years now, Williams does not dare to underestimate his social skills at all.

"Mr. Douglas has been working in Qinxi Province, China, for the past eight or nine years for a local company called Pingchuan Railway Transport Company. This company is owned by Fang Mingyuan. Just yesterday, Mr. Douglas and eight Chinese people came from China.

When they arrived in Tokyo by flight from Fengyuan Municipal Airport, others checked into a hotel, while Mr. Douglas stayed at Fang Mingyuan's villa." Armstrong reported in one breath.

"He has been working for a local railway transportation company in Qinxi Province, China?" Williams was surprised. No wonder he hadn't heard much about him in the past few years. "Is that railway transportation company very large? I heard

Say, haven’t China’s railways always been state-owned?”

"Yes, China's railways have always been state-owned. Pingchuan Railway Transportation Company is only responsible for a branch railway of about 200 kilometers in Qinxi Province." Armstrong also didn't know why a private railway transportation company appeared in China.

"About 200 kilometers of branch line railway?" Williams exclaimed in disbelief. A former vice president of Pacific Railway Company, a railway strongman who had been in charge of nearly 40,000 kilometers of railway transportation affairs, went to China to manage a railway that could not be more than 200 kilometers.

A two-hundred-kilometer-long branch railway? This sounds like a fantasy.

"Yes! About 200 kilometers away, it connects Fengyuan City and a city in its northwest." Armstrong looked at it again and was sure.

"This makes no sense!" Williams gasped. Milton Douglas was also a famous figure in the American railway industry. Although he was retired, the pension he received every year was

It is extremely considerable, enough to ensure that he can continue to live a happy life of a superior person in American society. Is it worth jumping to the northwest inland of Qinxi Province to work in a transportation company that only has a 200-kilometer railway branch line? The United States

There are so many railway transportation companies, not only Canada, but also Europe. As long as he opens his mouth and becomes a consultant to the railway transportation companies in these places, it is not a piece of cake. The more he thinks this way, the more Williams feels that there may be something in it.

What is something I didn’t expect!

A well-known figure in the American railway industry actually went to a poor place in China to work for a transportation company with only a 200-kilometer-long branch railway. This makes no sense.

Moreover, he came to Tokyo at this sensitive time. How could this not make Williams suspicious? Today, he asked to see Fang Mingyuan, but was told that Fang Mingyuan would not be there not only today, but also in the next two days.

Time, three days later in the morning, there would be an hour left for him. Williams wanted to make a call, but the other party did not give him Fang Mingyuan's contact information at all.

This made Williams even more furious. As the chairman of Chevron Oil Company, he always told others how much time they had left for him. When had he fallen to this point? What kind of big shot did Fang Mingyuan think he was?

Already?

But now that he thought about it, Williams felt that there might be another secret to this. Maybe... Fang Mingyuan was deliberately trying to make him angry? It would be better for him to give up the acquisition and go back to the United States, then he would be happy?

Although he tried hard to calm down and analyzed from all aspects, he felt that the possibility was unlikely, but this idea was like a mole in the game of whack-a-mole, popping up in Williams' mind from time to time.

, which made him uneasy. In addition, Zander appeared in Fang Mingyuan's villa again in the past three days, which made Williams feel like he was holding twenty-five rabbits and scratching his heart.

In fact, Zhan De's visit was just to tell Fang Mingyuan that Motorola had basically agreed to Fang Mingyuan's conditions for the transfer of mobile phone Chinese input method and sixteenth chord technologies. In addition, regarding the Xiqing chip factory, the board of directors

A consensus has been basically reached and the Fang family has agreed to take shares, but the proportion of the shares and whether to move the company to Tongyi are under urgent negotiation. But until now, Williams, who still doesn’t know why Zander is here, has
