Resource Tycoon Reborn

In the former British Concession area of ​​Jincheng, a small building full of European style is the flagship store of the Fangjia chain restaurant in Jincheng, and it is also the first store opened in Jincheng. (Every time it’s meal time here,

The house is always packed with guests, and guests who come late may even have to wait.

Jiang Yinglei accompanied his uncle Jiang Ziyuan, the chairman of Tianzechang Group Company, who came from the south, and arrived at Fang's Restaurant about ten minutes earlier than the agreed time. When they got out of the car, there was already a man who looked like

The pretty white-collar lady stepped forward to lead them to the box on the top floor. At this time, Dong Gaozhi and others had already arrived at the box one by one.

"Chairman Jiang, I'm sorry that I didn't come to the store in person to greet you two. I think you two will definitely understand my difficulties." Fang Mingyuan said to Jiang Ziyuan with a smile.

"Young Master Fang is probably the celebrity who dislikes appearing in front of the media the most!" Jiang Ziyuan laughed, "If the news about Young Master Fang here is leaked, I believe the entire Fang Family Restaurant will be surrounded by the media. It's understandable.

That’s understandable.”

"It would be best if you two can understand. Please sit down." Fang Mingyuan greeted everyone and sat down.

Jiang Ziyuan's eyes fell on Li Xintong, who was sitting next to Fang Mingyuan, and he said with a smile: "I would like to ask, who is this..."

"I am Li Xintong, Mr. Fang's assistant!" Li Xintong bowed slightly and saluted, "It's an honor to meet Chairman Jiang and all of you."

"Assistant Li, you are not Chinese, are you?" Jiang Ziyuan's pupils narrowed and he asked with a smile, "How is your health?"

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang. My father is in good health." Li Xintong bowed again and replied.

Only then did Jiang Yinglei realize that this beautiful and somewhat heroic white-collar beauty was actually the daughter of Lee Jianxi, chairman of South Korea's Samsung Group! He even cursed Fang Mingyuan in his heart. The person who was with him yesterday was a member of the Welf family.

, after returning, he deliberately learned about the Welf family through many channels. From the news he had learned so far, he was already shocked. And the person accompanying Fang Mingyuan today was actually another person who was enough to make the Jiang family

The daughter of a boss who is looked up to in the business world!

"Chairman Jiang, I invite you all to come and have a meal today. I also have some serious matters that I want to talk to you about. Of course, you can't make any decisions in just one meal. I just hope that everyone can

Let’s talk openly and honestly about our ideas. Let’s seek common ground while reserving differences and jointly promote the development of the domestic railway industry.” Fang Mingyuan said straight to the point, “Although the Ministry of Railways has not officially announced the three-city high-speed railway project, Sihai Railway Co., Ltd. is interested in taking it over.

?”

"Not bad!" Jiang Ziyuan nodded, "It is precisely because we are optimistic about the future development of railways that our Tianzechang Investment Co., Ltd. took the lead in establishing Sihai Railway Co., Ltd. After repeated consultations with the Ministry of Railways, we reached an agreement.

The Ministry of Railways will leave the subsequent construction projects and post-completion operation of the Three-City High-Speed ​​Railway to us."

"But shareholders of Sihai Railway Co., Ltd., do you know that the leaders of the three northeastern provinces have contacted me, hoping that Pingchuan Railway Transport Company can take over the construction and operation of the three-city high-speed railway." Fang Mingyuan played with the tea cup in his hand.

He looked into Jiang Ziyuan's eyes and said.

"We are already aware of this matter. Several leaders have doubts about the ability of our Sihai Railway Co., Ltd. to operate the first high-speed railway in Northeast China. This is also normal. When Pingchuan Railway Transport Company took over Fengtong Railway, your company

The party has also faced similar doubts. We at Sihai Railway Co., Ltd. are confident that we can successfully construct and operate the Tri-City High-Speed ​​Railway, the core passenger line in Northeast China." Jiang Ziyuan said calmly, "For this day, we at Sihai Railway Co., Ltd.

We have been preparing for a long time before the company was established. We respect the opinions of the local government, but I believe that not all leaders are unwilling to give our Sihai Railway Co., Ltd. this opportunity."

"I believe what Chairman Jiang said is true. Tianzechang Investment Co., Ltd. invested in Sihai Railway Co., Ltd. for the sake of profit. If there is no certainty, hey, only state-owned enterprises that do not spend their own money will be so reckless.

Invest." Fang Mingyuan nodded and said, "However, building and operating a high-speed railway well cannot be done with confidence alone. Sihai Railway Co., Ltd. must do a good job. After the opening of the Three-City High-speed Railway, in the first few years,

Mentally prepare for the impossibility of making a profit.”

"In the first few years?" Jiang Ziyuan said with a dumbfounded smile, "Master Fang, it's better to say less. In our expectations, in the first ten years, Sihai Railway Co., Ltd. can guarantee a balance of payments in terms of passenger transportation, which is considered good.

Yes, if you want to make a profit, you have to use other auxiliary methods."

"For example, the hotel industry, ancillary businesses at stations, and real estate development?" Fang Mingyuan said calmly, "It would be better if high-speed rail freight could be opened."

"High-speed rail freight? This may be difficult!" Jiang Ziyuan shook his head and said, "The Ministry of Railways will not allow it."

"Although there is no precedent for high-speed rail freight in China, I think it is not impossible. At least internationally, European countries have already had precedents." Li Xintong said, "Moreover, the cost of using high-speed rail for freight is not only lower than that of air freight.

, short-distance transportation is more efficient, less susceptible to weather effects, and can guarantee transportation time. Of course, there are also many disadvantages."

Jiang Ziyuan pondered for a moment and said: "Assistant Li, I admit that the advantages you mentioned do exist, but what are the disadvantages you mentioned? For example, high-speed rail freight can only transport goods with higher added value, easy to load and unload, and not so bulky.

items?”

“First, in the current construction of high-speed railways, high-speed railways are positioned for passenger transportation without considering the possibility of high-speed railway freight. Therefore, there are no dedicated freight carriages and no platforms suitable for unloading. The train’s short parking time is also

It makes it impossible to load and unload large amounts of cargo. But these problems can be solved. The Ministry of Railways does not consider these problems because the opening of the Tri-City High-Speed ​​Railway can divert a large amount of passenger flow from the original railway lines in this area.

To the high-speed railway, the capacity now freed up by the railway line can be invested in freight and earn more profits. But we do not have this condition. In order to ensure profitability, we must tap the potential as much as possible."

Li Xintong talked eloquently.

Jiang Ziyuan was secretly surprised that they had not thought about what Li Xintong said, but due to various reasons, they initially chose to give up. But listening to Li Xintong's tone, it seemed that Pingchuan Railway Transportation Company could do it.

"Secondly, another problem with high-speed railway freight is that the door-to-door collection of goods and the door-to-door delivery after unloading are not done well, and the business will be difficult to develop. Moreover, it has to be combined with the existing express delivery system that has already formed a climate.

It is not easy for enterprises to compete." Li Xintong continued. Everyone, led by Jiang Ziyuan, nodded secretly. After years of development in China's express delivery market, private enterprises have occupied an absolute position and cannot let go.

Boss Tie, in this business, has long lost his former unchallengeable status and glory.

Li Xintong added: "Third, and most importantly, there must be stable and sufficient supply and demand, so that high-speed rail freight can be developed. Chairman Jiang, we at Pingchuan Railway Transport Company are confident in these three issues.

It will be solved step by step. I don’t know if Sihai Railway Co., Ltd. has the confidence and preparations for this."

"Chairman Jiang, please don't get me wrong. We at Pingchuan Railway Transportation Company have no intention of using various means to suppress Sihai Railway Co., Ltd. to seize the Three-City High-Speed ​​Railway project. Although, we have had many conflicts in the past. It is unpleasant, but in this matter, I welcome Sihai Railway Co., Ltd. to break through the obstacles of the Ministry of Railways and join the railway industry. To put it in context, I welcome Sihai Railway Co., Ltd. to break through the existing The monopoly structure has led to the reform and development of my country's railway system. To put it privately, with Sihai Railway Co., Ltd., it will also prevent those leaders of the Ministry of Railways who dislike Pingchuan Railway Transport Company from staring at us all day long. Some In case of trouble, Sihai Railway Co., Ltd. can help us share some of our concerns," Fang Mingyuan interrupted.

Jiang Ziyuan and others all laughed. Since the establishment of Pingchuan Railway Transport Company, it has operated a Fengshan-Jinxi railway in a spectacular manner, and has become a model for leaders to beat the Ministry of Railways. Those open-minded cadres of the Ministry of Railways naturally understand.

The leaders hate iron but cannot make steel. The Ministry of Railways has all kinds of support from the country, but it cannot change the pattern of long-term losses. This makes the leaders lose face and make them very angry. And the Ministry of Railways, who originally disliked Pingchuan Railway Transport Company,

The cadre leaders regard Pingchuan Railway Transportation Company as a thorn in their flesh. Although these people cannot deliberately make things difficult for Pingchuan Railway Transportation Company, after all, the shareholders of Pingchuan Railway Transportation Company headed by the Fang family are not easy to mess with.

, there are still leaders watching above, if things are done too much, you may lose your official position. However, within the allowed range, the requirement for Pingchuan Railway Transportation Company is to "keep improving", but no one can say anything.

No. Therefore, Pingchuan Railway Transportation Company has to deal with various inspections every year, which also makes the management of Pingchuan Railway Transportation Company upset.

Jiang Ziyuan knew what happened between Jiang Yingxue and Fang Mingyuan, and also knew that although the Jiang family and the Su family and the Fang family were not bitter enemies over the years, they were definitely not friends. So before he came to Jincheng, he also

I wonder if Fang Mingyuan intervened in the three-city high-speed railway project in order to retaliate against the Jiang family. Although he also agrees with Jiang Yinglei's idea, if the three-city high-speed railway project is really snatched away by Pingchuan Railway Transportation Company

, then the Ministry of Railways should also arrange other lines for Sihai Railway Co., Ltd. Sihai Railway Co., Ltd.’s long-standing filial piety cannot be fed to the dog, but in this way, the time for approval will inevitably be delayed again, and it is difficult to determine

Time. Moreover, although it has not yet been officially approved for Sihai Railway Co., Ltd. to take over the three-city high-speed railway project, various dredging and preparations are indispensable, and these... will they be able to play their due role by that time?

There are two views on the role of the official. After all, in China, it is normal for people to leave for tea and the transfer of officials is also very frequent. After hearing Fang Mingyuan's words, Jiang Ziyuan's originally worried heart dropped by half. With Fang Mingyuan

With his past behavior style, now that he has spoken out like this, it is unlikely that he will intentionally suppress Sihai Railway Co., Ltd.

"So what Mr. Fang means is that he hopes that our two families can cooperate?" Jiang Ziyuan leaned forward slightly and asked. What Fang Mingyuan said at the train station, "cooperation will benefit both sides" made them think about it all night!

"I really hope to cooperate, so that it can not only appease the hearts of the leaders of the three northeastern provinces, especially my uncle, but also make sense to the Ministry of Railways and you. Moreover, Pingchuan Railway Transport Company's participation in this project is very important to you.

, also has many benefits. I guess I don’t need to list them one by one, right?" Fang Mingyuan said seriously. While the few people were talking, the waiter had already served the dishes to the table like water.

Jiang Ziyuan and others were silent. They had already considered it last night. Fang Mingyuan might hope that the two parties would cooperate to jointly build and operate this project. If Pingchuan Railway Transportation Company joins, as long as it does not take a controlling stake, it is indeed the case.

As Fang Mingyuan said, there are many benefits. Part of the huge capital investment can be shared by Pingchuan Railway Transport Company. In terms of project construction, Longxing Construction Group Company is more experienced than the construction companies under Tianzechang Group Company. After all, Longxing

The construction group company has the qualifications and experience to build railways, but their construction companies can only build buildings, and they have nothing to offer even in the construction of highways and bridges.

Moreover, with Longxing Construction Group Co., Ltd. responsible for supervising the project, the construction level of the Three-City High-Speed ​​Railway project will reassure them. It is already known to the world that there are many shoddy projects in China. And the construction of Longxing Construction Group Co., Ltd.

The quality of the project has been tested for a long time, and has even experienced the test of a major earthquake. The benefits of completing the construction of the three-city high-speed railway at a high level for future operations are self-evident.

Jiang Ziyuan also thought about Fang Mingyuan's obvious interest in high-speed rail freight. If Pingchuan Railway Transportation Company can be included as a shareholder, then the freight transportation of Japan's rear companies in the Northeast region may also give priority to the Three-City High-speed Railway. Gao

It is undoubtedly unrealistic to transport bulk cargo by railway, but if it can be used to transport small, light-weight, high-value electronic products, or seafood products, if it can solve the disadvantages Li Xintong just mentioned, there will be no problem.

However, it is impossible to say that Jiang Ziyuan and the others are not worried about being occupied by magpie nests in the future. Although Tianzechang Group Company is considered a first-class enterprise among domestic private enterprises, it is different from having many domestic first-class companies.

Compared with the Fang family in the enterprise, they are still obviously at a disadvantage. After working for a long time, they ended up making wedding clothes for them. They cannot afford such a result.

"Any ideas you have, you can list them down, and you can put aside any concerns you have. We can sign the contract, but we can't write it down in the contract to sign a supplementary contract. Please invite those who are at ease to attend and endorse it.

, I am quite concerned about my own small reputation, and will not easily destroy my glorious image, so you can rest assured that those unscrupulous little tricks are not fun to use. As long as you don't give it to yourself

If I have any opportunity to seize equity reasonably and legally, I don't have to worry that our Fang family will be taken over by others in the future!" Fang Mingyuan said calmly, playing with the wine glass in his hand.

"Young Master Fang is so polite. Young Master Fang's reputation is as good as a promise, and everyone knows that! As for the endorsement..." Dong Gaozhi complimented. Jiang Ziyuan and others also had some sarcasm on their faces. They didn't expect Fang Mingyuan to speak so directly.

Express your concerns and those of others.

"Predecessors have said, 'A dirty country, if everyone follows rules instead of talking about morality, will eventually become a normal country with a human touch, and morality will naturally gradually return; a clean country, if everyone follows rules

If you don’t follow rules but talk about morality and nobility, talk about moral standards every day when you have nothing to do, and everyone is selfless, eventually this country will degenerate into a dirty country full of hypocrites. So, if you think it is necessary, don’t worry about it.

What's the matter of my face? Moreover, this is what I suggested, and I will never bear any grudge against you, so wouldn't I be slapping myself in the face?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "Of course, if you can trust me, I won't either.

He would be pretentious and not ask for endorsement.”

Jiang Ziyuan glanced at everyone, and after a while he said: "Since Mr. Fang is so reasonable and has come to Jincheng in person, he has shown his sincerity. It is indeed as Mr. Fang said, our two families will benefit from the cooperation, and, with

Compared with the behemoth of the Ministry of Railways, our two companies are both weak. If we continue to fight with each other, wouldn't we let others watch the fun? Then let's talk about it first. If it is true that the relationship between the two parties is

We can't agree on the same opinion, let's talk about it later, I wonder what Mr. Fang wants to do?"

Li Xintong stood up, picked up the wine bottle from the table, and poured wine for everyone. Who dared to sit there carelessly, including Jiang Ziyuan, stood up one by one. Li Xintong finally poured wine for Fang Mingyuan and herself.

, Fang Mingyuan raised his glass and smiled: "Then let's drink this first to reach a preliminary consensus! Madam, feel free to do whatever you want."

After a glass of wine, the atmosphere at the table became lively. Jiang Yinglei, Dong Gaozhi and others took the initiative to toast Fang Mingyuan. Fang Mingyuan did not refuse, but he did not drink too much.

"Chairman Jiang, I actually have another idea, but I don't know if you can afford it financially." Fang Ming said to Jiang Ziyuan from a distance, "Although the three-city high-speed railway connects the most important cities in the three northeastern provinces, we must ensure that

I think its benefits are still not enough! Moreover, the three-city high-speed railway is independent of the national high-speed railway route map. This makes passengers in the pass traveling to the northeastern provinces either have to change trains, or they can only take the original railway line.

We can enjoy the convenience of high-speed rail. Therefore, I believe that the three-city high-speed railway should be connected with other high-speed railways starting from Beijing. This will play an important role in ensuring our future profitability."

Jiang Ziyuan was startled. What did Fang Mingyuan mean by this? A high-speed railway from the capital to Fengjing City was to be built? Jiang Yinglei's hands on the side trembled, and the piece of meat he originally picked up fell into the wine glass.

A few drops of hops splashed.

"The funds of Pingchuan Railway Transport Company are actually so strong?" Jiang Yinglei shouted in disbelief in his heart, although he also knew that the shareholders of Pingchuan Railway Transport Company had just made a round of capital injection not long ago and introduced new ones.

Shareholder, but under the premise that Pingchuan Railway Transport Company itself wants to build up to four railways and invest in the three-city high-speed railway project, he actually wants to build the Beijing-Fengcheng high-speed railway!

"Master Fang, you just mentioned that it is difficult to ensure profitability in the first few years of the three-city high-speed railway project. So if we launch another Beijing-Fenghuang high-speed railway, will there be greater pressure to make profits?" Jiang Ziyuan said

.

"The reason why I put forward this proposal is mainly based on the following considerations. First, the completion of the Beijing-Fenghuang High-speed Railway will have a higher utilization rate of the three-city high-speed railway line. I won't explain this much. I believe everyone will also

We all understand. Second, today’s global economic prospects are not clear, and the possibility of economic downturn is very high. In order to maintain the growth rate, we start construction of infrastructure projects, which is what the government hopes to see. In this case, whether it is the Ministry of Railways

, it is difficult for the Liao Provincial Government, the Yanxing Provincial Government and the Beijing City Government to refuse. Third, when construction starts during this period, both the material expenditure and labor expenditure of the project can be reduced, thereby reducing the cost. If

If you say you missed this opportunity, it will be very difficult for the Ministry of Railways to relent."

Jiang Ziyuan and Jiang Yinglei nodded silently. Fang Mingyuan was right. These are indeed favorable conditions, but there are also disadvantages, that is, where do the construction funds come from? In order to build the three-city high-speed railway project, Sihai Railway Co., Ltd.

These shareholders have really put a lot of effort into raising funds to minimize the need for loans and avoid the Tri-City High-Speed ​​Railway from being burdened with high debts in the future.

But if we add the Beijing-Fengcheng High-speed Railway, although we still don’t know how much it will cost, but calculating the distance between the two places, we must prepare a construction fund of ** tens of billions, even if it is said

Pingchuan Railway Transport Company will share part of the financial pressure, but that also means that the shareholders of Sihai Railway Co., Ltd. will have to add a huge sum of money on top of the current amount of capital contribution!

In the future, will this be the last straw that breaks the camel’s back of Sihai Railway Co., Ltd.? (To be continued.) 8
