Extraordinary Genius

“Railroad construction? Feng, are you kidding me?” Reed has absolutely no interest in this.

In recent years, a large number of railways in the United States have been dismantled, with more than half of the total mileage being dismantled because the speed is too slow to drive easily. Long-distance flights are available, and tickets to the US are inexpensive because of the large number of private airline companies.

But even so, the US still has the longest railway line in the world, twice as long as Huaxia. Unfortunately, it is too inefficient, and the greatest use now is to transport goods.

To be honest, the railways in the US are mainly freight forwarders, and Huaxia is mainly freight forwarders. In fact, Huaxia also transports goods, but Huaxia Railway is the most important public transport, every New Year's Eve, mainly transporting people.

The total mileage of railways in the US is twice that of Huaxia, but the number of passengers is just over 20 million a year, Huaxia, two billion times, a hundred times that of the US.

Huaxia's railways have grown many years later than the US, but they have grown rapidly over the years and are arguably one of the fastest growing countries in the world.

From automobiles to high-speed trains, from subways to light rails, many of these technologies make Huaxia the number one in the world. It's not that other countries don't research and development, but that they don't have so many lines to build, so much research and development money can't be recovered.

The same is true of the United States, not that they don't have the strength to develop these technologies, but that they don't really need them, or they won't tear them apart for half the years.

In Reed's impression, the US Railway is simply going downhill. How could Feng Yu be so blind to invest in this industry?

“Reed, I'm talking about a high-speed railway that runs at 240 km/h on a daily basis, and if this is open, do you think anyone would be willing to take it? Efficiency has been multiplied, even if it is merely the delivery of goods. ”

So fast! Reed was a little surprised.

Railroads in the US operate at only 110km/h on a daily basis, more than double the speed. Of course, the U.S. also has a theoretical maximum operating speed of 240 km/h, but that's theoretical speed. Feng Yu said that the daily rate of theory exceeded their theoretical speed, so didn't the real theoretical speed have to exceed 350?

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

From Oakland, the city on the west coast of the United States, to New York, the city on the east coast of the United States, it's over 4,000 kilometers away, and the plan is crazy.

According to Feng Yu, I'm afraid it won't take a day to get on the train, and Auckland to New York, USA, will take more than three days!

Because there are many stations, many are small local stations, and each station has to be parked for a long time. Most of them are shipped. There is always time to change the trailer or unload the car.

Only on the east coast, there are some faster speeds, but there are not many passengers, and more Americans prefer to travel by themselves, or by plane, more convenient.

Reed's eyebrows are locked: “Feng, you have to take into account that unlike you in Huaxia, we don't have that many people on the train. The train is mainly about shipping goods, and it's some less urgent goods, so the price is cheaper. ”

“If we invest in this kind of high-speed railway, the cost is definitely huge, can you tell me how much it costs? ”

Feng Yu thought about the price he had asked and converted it into dollars in his heart, and then replied: “Railway construction, including trains and stops, about 30 million dollars a kilometer. Are you pricing higher in the U.S.? ”

In fact, if it's in Huaxia, it won't cost that much. The cost of labor alone is much higher than that of Huaxia, let alone other construction costs, including land and transportation costs.

“Thirty million dollars a kilo! Feng, you want to invest so much money?!” Reed was shocked, more than 4,000 kilometers along the way. Didn't you say Feng Yu was going to invest $12,300 billion? Also, taking into account future cost increases, it may be that Feng Yu's total investment will reach $150 billion.

If Feng Yukan invested so much money in the US, it would certainly greatly improve Feng Yu's status in the US, unlike the social status of wealth.

Feng Yu's eyes jumped: “It's us! ”

Shit, I'm crazy. Investing so much money myself? Maybe there are some moths coming out of your country. Why did Feng Yu just say that the port side is going to make a big deal? This can be conceded, because he is not prepared to invest too much in this.

The cycle of return on high-speed rail investment is too long, and infrastructure is the least easy asset to take away and sell, and the risk of investment is not low. Feng Yu joined the stock and helped Huaxia sell the high-speed train to make money in the US. Feng Yu and Huaxia are win-win.

“Von, how do we allocate investment plans and shares?” Reed asked again.

“Well, you guys, I don't have any money on my side, I can help train managers, plus construction companies with proven experience, and I can even include site construction and planning, I just need 35 percent of the shares. ”

Reed would love to say a word to Feng Woo! We pay for railroad and train purchases? What is the cost of the land demolition, and we pay for it, and you give us a contractor, and you take 35 percent of the shares? Why don't you go rob it.

“Feng, I don't think we can talk about this. The main resource investment is that you didn't pay a dime. The construction company is also going to hire you Huaxia, right? ”

Well, then you give us a bill, and then you really give it back to Huaxia, which is another bill, and it makes the cost vague, as if you spent a lot of money, in fact, it may cost less than 70 percent, this means, do you think I don't understand?

And in building our country, we have to hire people from our country. We have to pull jobs, pull domestic demand, use your people from Huaxia. What are we doing?

Reed didn't know that his mind was already thinking about the feasibility of this. If so, how should the parties invest and how should the shares be distributed?

Feng Yu made a good deal of discussion: “Reed, what do you think you should do? Are you sure I can control this railroad? I'm in charge of everything? Look, can't you? In that case, I'd have to pay less. And now you want to build, can you find a mature contractor and designer? I have it on my side, you can fill it up, let you build the US first, wait for Huaxia, can't you do that? ”

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

Feng Yu nodded with a smile. “Sure. ”
