Chapter 1995

"Railway construction? Feng, are you kidding? " Reed has no interest in this at all.

In recent years, a large number of Railways in the United States have been demolished, with a total mileage of more than half. Because of the slow speed, it is not as convenient as driving. Long distance can take a plane, the price of air tickets in the United States is very cheap, because there are many private aircraft companies.

But even so, the United States still has the longest railway line in the world, double that of China. Unfortunately, the efficiency is too low. Now the biggest use is to transport goods.

To put it bluntly, the railways in the United States are mainly used to transport goods, while those in China are mainly used to transport people. In fact, China also transports goods, but China Railway is the most important public transport, which mainly transports people during the Spring Festival.

The total railway mileage in China is twice as long as that in China, but the number of passengers per year is only more than 20 million. In China, there are 2 billion people, 100 times as many as that in China.

China's railway development is many years later than that of the United States, but in these years, it has been developing rapidly, even the fastest developing country in the world.

From bullet train to high-speed rail, from subway to light rail, many of these technologies are the first in the world. Other countries don't do R & D, but they don't have so many lines to build, so many R & D funds can't be recovered.

It's the same with the United States, not that they don't have the strength to develop these technologies, but that they really can't use them, otherwise they won't tear down half of them in these years.

In Reid's impression, the U.S. railway is going downhill. How could Feng Yu be so blind to invest in this industry.

"Reed, I'm talking about a high-speed railway with a daily running speed of 240km / h. If this is opened, do you think anyone would like to take it? Even if it's just transporting goods, the efficiency has increased several times. "

So fast! Reed was a little surprised.

The daily running speed of the railway in China is only 110km / h, which is more than double. Of course, there are also lines with theoretical maximum operating speed of 240km / h in China, but that is the theoretical speed. Feng Yu said that the daily speed is faster than their theoretical speed. Isn't the real theoretical speed more than 350?

"Reed, my plan is to build a high-speed train from Auckland to New York, which is also of great benefit to the people of the United States. There will be more choices for travel."

The whole journey from Auckland, the west coast city of the United States, to New York, the east coast city of the United States, is more than 4000 kilometers. This plan is crazy.

According to Feng Yu, I'm afraid it won't take a day by train. At this time, the train from Auckland to New York will take more than three days!

Because there are many stations, many of them are local stations, and each station has to stop for a long time, most of them are freight, there is always a time for changing trailers or unloading.

Only on the east coast, some of them are relatively fast, but the number of passengers is not large. More Americans prefer to travel by themselves or by air, which is more convenient.

Reid frowned: "Feng, you have to consider the difference between our country and your Chinese country. We don't have so many people to take the train. The train is mainly used to transport goods, and all of them are less urgent goods, so the price is cheaper."

"If we invest in this kind of high-speed railway, it will cost a lot. Can you tell me how much it will cost?"

After thinking about the price he asked, Feng Yu converted it into US dollars in his heart, and then replied, "railway construction, including trains and stations, is about 30 million US dollars a kilometer. Is the price in your country relatively high?"

In fact, if this is in China, it will never use so much money. The labor cost in the United States is much higher than that in China, not to mention other construction costs, but also land cost and transportation cost.

"Thirty million dollars a kilometer! Feng, do you want to invest so much money? " Reid was shocked. He was more than four thousand kilometers away. Didn't he say that Feng Yu would invest 120 billion dollars? In addition, considering the cost increase in the future, maybe Feng Yu's total investment will reach 150 billion US dollars.

If Feng Yu is willing to invest so much money in the United States, it will greatly improve his position in the United States, different from the social status of wealth.

Feng Yu's eyes leaped wildly: "it's us!"

Ma Dan, am I crazy to invest so much money? Maybe there is no moth out of your country. Why did Feng Yu just say that the port side should take the lead? This can be compromised, because he was not prepared to invest too much.

The return cycle of high-speed rail investment is too long, and infrastructure is the most difficult asset to take away and sell off. With such a large investment, the risk is not low. Feng Yu shares in the company, and then helps Huaxia sell high-speed rail to the United States to make money. It's a win-win situation for him and Huaxia.

"Feng, how do we distribute the investment plan and shares?" Reed asked again.

"You have a controlling stake. I can't provide cash here. I can help train the management personnel. In addition, the construction enterprises with mature experience can even include the construction and planning of the site. I only need 35% of the shares."

Reed wanted to say boo to Feng Yu! Do we pay for the purchase of railway tracks and trains? We will pay for the demolition of the land, and you will be responsible for the construction party, which will take up 35% of the shares? Why don't you rob it."Feng, I don't think we can talk about this. You didn't give a cent for the most important resource investment. That construction enterprise is going to hire you Huaxia, right?"

Hum, then you will give us an account, and then you will give China another account, which will make the cost falsely high. It seems like you spent a lot of money. In fact, the real cost may be less than 70%. Do you think I don't understand this method?

Moreover, in the construction of our country, we must hire the talents of our country. We need to promote employment and domestic demand. We all use your Chinese people. We're still farting.

Reid did not know that his mind had begun to consider the feasibility of the matter. If the construction, then how should the two sides invest, how should the shares be distributed.

Feng Yu put on a friendly look: "reed, how do you think you should come? Are you sure I can control the railway? What do I do has the final say? You see, can't you? In that case, I must pay less. And now you want to build, find a mature construction, design party? I have it here. You can build it first. Chinese people can wait. Can't you do that? "

Reed didn't dare to talk about the distribution plan, but immediately stood up: "Feng, I'm sorry, because you put forward this cooperation project, I need to report to the boss. How about we continue to talk about it tomorrow or this time?"

Feng Yu nodded with a smile: "OK."
