Extraordinary Genius

Chapter 1956: Very Difficult

Feng Yu is going to determine the framework of the agreement. In the next detailed negotiations, Feng Yu does not intend to participate and is too tired.

Commercial negotiations, often involving a clause, take many days, because the interests involved can be significant. But in the end, there may not be much savings.

Feng Yu's favorite is the separation of terms, some of us make concessions, some of the other parties make concessions, and then sign quickly to ensure efficiency.

Of course, every business has its own way of doing business, and one cannot say who is right or wrong. However, Feng Yu believes that the US is in a hurry to make this happen, and cannot delay the contract negotiations for two or three years, which is not good for Obal.

So the US side must also be demanding fast, and the Huang side also wants fast, don't want to make any changes, so everyone's demands are consistent, should be able to sign the agreement soon.

On the port side, Feng Yu and Li Zezhu agreed that the problem was small and that at least two port terminals would allow for full automation. But on the highway side, it's more troublesome, and it's boycotted by at least two industries, aviation and automobiles, and even by the original railway operators.

Loans are also problematic, even if they only invest a part of the way, they certainly have to be built. Feng Yu tends to lend from the US Bank of California Consortium or the Bank of Rich Countries. If necessary, Minsheng Bank can join in.

A bank loan from another consortium necessarily gives the other party some profit, which reduces their interest and is not cost-effective.

Feng Yu also called Zhang Ruiqiang to talk while they were debriefing the family.

It is impossible to communicate with Zhang Ruiqiang via video, because the problem of cybersecurity is not guaranteed and even Zhang Ruiqiang is now using a non-smartphone.

But Feng Yu felt a little too cautious. There was no need to worry too much about video calls. His company didn't always hold video conferences. Is the country not as good as his company's network technology? Feng Yu held videoconferences, often deciding the direction of billions of dollars of assets. Will few people want to get this information?

The phone rang and Zhang Ruiqiang's voice came in: “Hello, Feng Yu? ”

“It's me. We talked to a consortium representative from Obagnau, and the intention to cooperate in the port was obvious, but the high-speed rail cooperation was not easy, the expected risk of revenues was high, and the amount of money consumed was high, so it was likely to collapse eventually. ”

Zhang Ruiqiang pondered: “There is a great need to stimulate employment in the US. We go to the US to build factories and invest in infrastructure, which will greatly solve their employment problems and stimulate economic development. They have no reason to refuse. ”

“In the case of our country, such conditions must be met, because the infrastructure of our country is State-owned. But in the US, these are all private holdings, and those capitalists, the most important consideration is profit. ”

Zhang Ruiqiang understands that this high-speed railway construction is likely to fail to make money, or that the return on investment is too long to be economical. Construction is necessary if it is to be considered from a national perspective. But for those businessmen, such investments are more retarded unless the political axe is willing to subsidize them.

But now that the US is selling treasury bonds in Huaxia, how can it afford subsidies, so it's unlikely to negotiate.

Huaxia has invested a huge amount of money in high-speed railway technology research and development. Finally, it has become a world leader and is eager to recover some of its books.

But it's not without competitors, like Germany, island countries, and technology is also very advanced. Huaxia will invest in high-speed railway construction in the US, while also striving to use Huaxia's equipment.

Zhang Ruiqiang had already consulted with Feng Yu before, so that Huaxia high-speed railway enterprises could invest in building factories in the US, guarantee production in the US, reduce freight costs, and guarantee sufficient production capacity.

Of course, Huaxia can also produce, but we are now satisfied with the construction of domestic railways, and we can't even take orders from abroad.

Unlike any plane, it can be delivered in a few years, because I didn't need to invest anything before. But the train will be delivered in a few years, so I've been laying the tracks open for years?

Railway construction invests more than aircraft invest in projects, and railway standards vary? It is, of course, the construction of a section that makes it even more economical to put it into operation.

As can be seen here, the risk of railway investment is much higher than that of aircraft, and the economic benefits are longer, because railways are bound to last longer than aircraft. But long return cycles and low returns are a fundamental problem.

“Can't we pull in more consortia and take risks together?” Zhang Ruiqiang asked.

“Difficult, or why, not good enough.” With less risk, profits become lower or less affordable, not in line with the investment philosophy of those businessmen.

“What do you mean, give up?” Zhang Ruiqiang is somewhat unhappy. If Huaxia's high-speed railway can be exported to the US, it will certainly be favoured by those countries in Europe. This will greatly contribute to the development of enterprises such as South Car and North Car.

Feng Yu bit his teeth: “I'll try again. Maybe I'll have to invest some more money this time, and I won't make any money at all. But don't hold out too much hope, either, lest the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. ”

Feng Yu also wants to promote this cooperation, so that the more investment Huaxia makes in the US, the less dare the US to enter into any major conflict with Huaxia. Feng Yu's interests in the US can also be more safeguarded.

Anyway, Feng Yu's bottom line is that he doesn't make money, but he can't admit he lost. Now is not without opportunity. The US hopes to introduce more investment and provide more employment opportunities. Feng Yu's investment this time is definitely not petty.

Huaxia's political axe is not only about the development of enterprises, but can also greatly enhance national pride. Huaxia's enterprises can already export technology to the United States, which means how proud Huaxia people should be.

This will improve national cohesion to a certain extent, make more talent, be willing to stay in Huaxia, and help the country to develop better and faster.

This time, not only high-speed railway plants, including pier-related automation equipment, must also be a joint venture in the US, but also a technological output.

Automation equipment, in fact, the US is the world leader in many aspects, but it is also too far away in docks, automobiles, etc., because of the obstruction of trade unions.

Feng Yuinner still has some gratitude for these unions in the US. If they hadn't been so torturous, they wouldn't have given him such a good opportunity.

Who's to blame for being educated in school and not fighting for a good school? Look at Huaxia for the first 20 years, the whole family worked together to train a college student, and then after graduating from college, the family's situation really changed dramatically, and the key is choice.

Waiting for the reply from the US side now, as long as the other side means a little loosening up, Feng Yu will have to find a way to make it work!
