Chapter 583 The Xinghai Group Promotes the Progress of Global Science and Technology
The XHHR500 train has been running on the test section for about tens of minutes, and all the data show that it is stable and there is no abnormality.
This made Mu Yang and all the participants heave a sigh of relief, and the test run was a complete success.
Of course, there will be many trials in the future.
The H-City-Shencheng line does not mean that the road conditions are the same across the country, and will be tested on different tracks in the future.
The test period may be relatively long, and it must be reviewed by relevant departments.
During the evaluation and verification of the performance or function of the train in complex road conditions and complex climates, there is a lot of work to be done. After the review, the safety, reliability and comfort performance of the new high-speed trains must meet the regulations and standards before they are allowed to be put into use in China. "Passport", and then put in one or two vehicles for trial operation. If there are no problems, it will gradually become popular, and it will not be launched all at once.
This is also the safest way, and Mu Yang also understands.
The audit experts all follow the standards, and of course there are some human factors, but they dare not act recklessly in the face of such a major event, especially the Xinghai Group's products.
In general, Mu Yang hopes that external experts can help to find out the problem. There may be factors that they have not considered, so that if there is an accident, it will be too late to make up for it.
Every real track test is also very troublesome. Like this test run, the entire line is subject to closed and isolated management, and no individual or unit is allowed to enter the line or intrude into the boundary without permission.
It is also necessary to inform the people along the line not to watch or stay, and it is strictly forbidden to fly drones, Kongming lanterns, kites, etc. at the station and along the line, and it is strictly forbidden to do any behavior that endangers the safety of railway transportation.
For this test run, relevant departments have done a lot of work and coordination.
If it were an ordinary company, it would be very difficult to make it work. Even if it works, it would take a long time. Unlike Xinghai Group, all relevant departments will fully cooperate.
The nature is different, hindering the Xinghai Group is actually hindering the development of national science and technology, which is now the common understanding of the people of the whole country.
After the test run, Zhou Chen accepted the media interview on the platform on behalf of the company, saying: "This technological breakthrough is also an important milestone in the development of our country's railway industry, and it also represents that my country's high-speed rail technology has reached the world's top level.
At the same time, we will also invite non-corporate system expert groups to help check for leaks and fill vacancies, continue to improve this technology, and make greater contributions to my country's high-speed rail cause. "
After the test run was successfully completed, the test results quickly attracted nationwide attention and became the focus of media reports.
Many people have expressed their earnest attention and expectations for the performance and future development prospects of XHHR500.
At the same time, some people have raised doubts and concerns about the safety and reliability of high-speed railway technology, and hope that relevant departments can strengthen supervision and management to ensure the safety and stability of the new high-speed railway operation.
No matter how Xinghai Group explains security issues, there will always be trolls.
On the Internet, as long as it is approved by most people, it will be fine, and it will not affect the decision-making of relevant departments.
If it is all a piece of public opinion that has a bad influence, no matter how good the thing is, the relevant departments will be cautious.
The headline "The World's Fastest Smart Train, Made by Xinghai Group" written by NetOne media reporters
The report stated: “At 3:00 pm on July 22, this reporter saw at Platform 1 of H City Railway Station that the XHHR500 intelligent EMU of Xinghai Group, which was put into trial operation this time, adopted a standard 8-car marshalling form, with a capacity of 578 people.
The body is streamlined, silver runs through the whole car, the overall body looks like a white dragon, and the iconic "XH" LOGO is very technological.
In addition to the gorgeous body, the interior of the XHHR500 smart EMU is full of "sense of technology", 29-inch wide-screen TV, intelligent temperature adjustment of the whole car, new USB charging port on the backrest of the second-class seat, new electric leg rest on the first-class seat, Free WIFI in the whole car, even through the tunnel, there is a signal...
When the car starts up, it starts faster than the usual group car..."
Reports on the Internet at home and abroad are optimistic. Foreign netizens who have been cursing the derailment of the Xinghai Group test before, after seeing the success of the test, their tone remains unchanged, which is also very interesting.
"It's not a good thing to go too fast. In case of an accident, the whole car will die!"
"The fare of such a fast train must be very high, can the people of Hua Country afford it?" said a Ugly Country netizen.
In response to these satirical comments, there is no need for Huaguo netizens to refute, and many foreign netizens will help reply.
"No matter how expensive the Huaguo high-speed rail is, it is also the cheapest in the world. I think Ugly Country should reflect on it. Your subway has a sense of history. Can you fix it?"
"It is impossible to expect Ugly countries to build high-speed rail. Their subways have not been maintained for many years. For capitalists, they will never do things that are not profitable. Even if high-speed rail is built, ordinary people cannot afford it. It’s better to drive. Coupled with the vast land and sparse population, there are not many people sitting on it, and it is difficult to recover the cost. Therefore, it is very difficult to build high-speed rail and maintain subways in ugly countries.”
"Wake up, the West is the past, Hua Country is the future."
"The speed of Xinghai Group is the speed of Hua Country. I heard that Xinghai Group is developing a vacuum tube train. If it is successfully developed and put into operation, I will go to Hua Country to experience the real Hua Country speed."
"The Xinghai Group has already set its goal in the interstellar space. The Star Ring space station has been completed by 60%, and we are still fighting on the earth. When the Xinghai Group lands on Mars, maybe we are still standing still. Hua Country is not what it used to be, they should be The most developed country in the world, it is too backward to judge a country by per capita GDP.”
"I went to Huaguo one year ago, and I was lucky enough to take the J-Shen high-speed rail. It was a wonderful experience! The world is really big, and there are probably only a handful of countries that have Huaguo's technology. The high-speed rail here It can reach a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, but it doesn’t shake at all. When Xinghai Group’s high-speed rail is put into operation, I hope to take it again in Huaguo.”
"Third brother said they are developed countries, compare these two railway photos. Third brother.JPG (wow, the roof is full of people!), Huaguo (oh my god, the station is so clean!)"
"Third Brother is right when he said that they are the shipping country. In the future, it will be the most populous country in the world. Their trains are very advanced, and the passenger capacity is several times that of the Huaguo high-speed railway."
Being able to be commented by crooked Chinese, domestic netizens watched it with gusto and pride.
At the same time, they were secretly fortunate that the Xinghai Group was an enterprise of Hua Country.
Some domestic netizens compiled Xinghai Group's top products into a video, and then inserted exciting music, titled "The Light of Hua Country".
From the very beginning of laser welding...to the recent invention of the Wyvern aircraft, the Star Ring space station, the advanced high-speed rail...every product is a black technology for all countries, and the hearts of Chinese people are full of excitement after watching the video.
Therefore, Xinghai Group is right to lead the direction of global technology.
It can also be said that Hua Country is the future!
July 23, at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Feng Younan, the chief engineer of the original Nanche Company, called Mu Yang and complained: "Mr. Mu, congratulations on the successful test run of your company's new high-speed rail.
Hey, it's hard for us to get mixed up now, or Mr. Mu might as well buy our Zhongche Group, and I'll be the first to vote for it. "
In 2014, Nanche and Bche had merged, known as Zhongche Group, which was re-listed in 2015.
Feng Younan and Mu Yang are acquaintances. They have known each other since 2009. It can be said that they are friends who have forgotten their years.
Back then, Feng Younan helped Mu Yang a lot.
"Haha, I dare not accept your company.
However, Mr. Feng, don't worry.
I'm not interested in building high-speed rail. I originally developed it, but I didn't intend to produce it myself. If you are interested, you can undertake it. " Mu Yang said with a smile, knowing that Feng Younan was joking.
It is true that he is worried, but Zhongche is not his company. Feng Younan has reached retirement age, and now he is re-employed to continue working at his post. Zhongche Group mainly depends on his relationship with Mu Yang.
Zhongche has business relations with Xinghai Group, but the business volume is not much.
Unexpectedly, there is now a business conflict.
"Mr. Mu, is this true?
Are you kidding me? "Feng Younan was very pleasantly surprised when he heard that, it would be fine if he could do OEM for Xinghai Group.
He watched the Xinghai Group rapidly develop into a giant company step by step.
Today's Zhongche Group has nearly 90,000 employees, with a revenue of 211 billion yuan and a net profit of 10.8 billion yuan last year.
The benefits are decent, but not as good as before the merger.
But compared with the Xinghai Group, the difference is not a star.
"It's no joke. We developed high-level high-speed rail at the beginning to improve the speed of domestic railways. I don't care about money. To be honest, I don't care.
However, if an enterprise does not pursue profits, it is not a good enterprise, so what is it used for scientific research.
However, the nature of high-end high-speed rail is not necessarily the same as that of ordinary goods. We only need to ensure that there is a profit. If the trains are expensive, the cost will naturally be transferred to passengers, which is not conducive to the popularization of new trains. It is better to sell small profits.
Of course, except for exports, foreigners should not be allowed to make cheap money. "
Mu Yang set the price of XHHR500 in this way, and selling it domestically would not be able to make a huge profit, but it must be more expensive than Harmony and Double X.
The key components are independently developed by Xinghai Group, the actual cost is not high, and the profit margin must be sufficient.
If the XHHR500 is really put into operation, the ticket price will definitely be slightly more expensive than the high-speed rail, and passengers should be able to accept it.
In other words, if the state has subsidies, keep the ticket price consistent with the high-speed rail price or even the bullet train price.
But Mu Yang feels that in the early stage, the original EMUs will continue to be put into operation until they are eliminated at the end of their lifespan, so it is unlikely to subsidize the fare in the early stage.
"Well, as long as there is soup to drink, our Zhongche will definitely be happy, and we don't ask for meat." After listening to Feng Younan, he expressed his understanding, this is the best result.
The launch of new trains will definitely bring new markets, and maybe the revenue will increase greatly.
"Well, you can bring your team over to discuss the specific matters. I'll leave this matter to the people below, and you won't suffer."
"Okay, thank Mr. Mu for giving me this opportunity, haha."
Feng Younan was much more relaxed. After learning that Xinghai Group had developed a high-end high-speed rail these days, he and the company's senior management were worried. Zhongche's senior management wanted him to communicate with Xinghai Group's Muyang, so there was this phone call.
If Xinghai Group really produces high-end high-speed rail, then in the high-speed rail industry, there is really no such thing as Zhongche.
Also in the past few days, the company's stock has plummeted.
If you get the Xinghai Group's authorized cooperation, even if it is an OEM production, as long as there is a profit, the stock price will naturally rise back, and it will be higher than before.
the next morning,
Feng Younan brought the team to Xinghai Group.
Mu Yang met Feng Younan in the office, drank tea and chatted with him, and then handed over the matter of discussing cooperation to Wang Hai, Feng Younan didn't want to participate either.
After discussing for half a day, the two parties finally decided on a general cooperation plan.
Zhongche is responsible for the OEM production, commissioning and post-maintenance of Xinghai Group's advanced high-speed rail car body, and Xinghai Group provides technical support and supply of key parts and other matters.
Currently on the market, the CRH380A type EMU (380km/h, 8 sets) is about 190 million RMB (8 sets), and the long set (16 sets) is about 380 million RMB.
The domestic price of the XHHR500 basic model of Xinghai Group is 250 million yuan (8 marshallings), and the long marshalling is doubled. The specific models and configurations are slightly different in terms of price.
The international positioning is 73.5 million US dollars, equivalent to 500 million yuan, and the long formation is doubled.
If this domestic positioning is calculated according to the technical gold content, it is indeed cheap.
But if the price is too high, it also means that the ticket price is too high and it is difficult to sell.
Zhongche's OEM price is not low, slightly more than its own production and research and development. The main reason is that key parts need to be imported, and the profit is not high in the first place.
Of course, Zhongche is also responsible for the maintenance of the car body in the later stage. As long as they are responsible for the OEM, they must be responsible, which is normal.
And if there is a problem with the high-speed rail bearing, the production unit Xinghai Group is naturally responsible for solving it.
The two parties signed an agreement and released the cooperation information on the same day.
On the same day, before the stock market closed in the afternoon, the stock of Zhongche immediately rose sharply.
On the third day, the daily limit was reached at the opening.
As for any listed company that can cooperate with Xinghai Group, the stock will rise more or less.
Xinghai New Energy Company is still the leader of A shares, with a total market value of more than 4.5 trillion yuan.
It has monopolized the global lithium battery, strong and domineering.
"After two years of trough in Zhongche, it finally took the Xinghai Group, a big bull, and embarked on the fast lane."
"I sold Zhongche stock yesterday, and I regret it to death."
"When will the Xinghai Group split up its business and go public, that would be great. Any piece of business will be a giant."
"It's possible to split the business, but it's not possible to go public. The Xinghai Group spends too much money. It spent 800 billion on the five-year plan of the East-West Water Diversion Project, and the desert greening is estimated to be a lot of money. Don't talk about the Xinghuan Space Station. Tens of billions, the charitable foundation is another ten or two billions, and any project is tens of billions, but Xinghai Group is not short of money."
"Xinghai Group conservatively made a profit of 500 billion yuan last year, and the exact amount has not been announced. This does not include Xinghai Bank and investment companies. Smart city houses are about to go on sale, and it is another cornucopia. They are all waiting for pricing."
Domestic stockholders talked a lot about the cooperation between Zhongche and Xinghai Group, and envied the employees of Xinghai Group.
Xinghai Group spends a lot of money on environmental protection and charity, improves national technology, and does not waste people's wool. Xinghai's investment has reduced mobile phone and Internet charges by 30% for citizens across the country, and the Internet speed has also increased. Don't get stuck, the Xinghai Group has gathered a lot of popularity just for this.
Zhongche is now cooperating with Xinghai Group to produce XHHR500. In order to prevent the fare from being too high, Xinghai Group sells trains in China at a low price.
After all, a civil aviation airliner C919 sells for 7.8 billion yuan, how much is the passenger capacity?
The high-speed train with a lower speed has a passenger capacity several times higher, but the price is much lower.
Just two days later, Saudi Arabia, a Middle Eastern country, consulted Xinghai Group about the XHHR500 train, hoping that if there is no problem in the test run, the train can be introduced.
Saudi Arabia will open a high-speed railway from Maijiao to Maidan by the end of this year, with a total length of about 450 kilometers. Now that you see the high-end trains of Xinghai Group, of course you don’t like the trains with a speed of about 300 per hour.
They are not short of money, but they are afraid that the things are not good. A row of 8 formations is only 73.5 million US dollars, which is less than 100 million US dollars. What is this?
Therefore, they plan to buy ten columns and 8 marshalling units for trial first, and they are not worried about the quality of Xinghai Group's products at all.
In the past few years, Saudi Arabia has purchased many Future 01 and Future 02 cars from Xinghai Group, as well as the special Hummer EV01. Xinghai Group's products have already established a good reputation with them.
Some time ago, they also wanted to buy Xinghai Group's Flying Dragon ground-effect aircraft, saying that money was not a problem, but Xinghai Group replied that they could not sell it for the time being.
The Feilong cannot be sold, they are eyeing the magnetic desalter, and the Xinghai Group does not sell it, but they can cooperate.
Currently, the two sides are negotiating that Xinghai Group will build several desalination plants in major cities in Saudi Arabia for greening and domestic water, and they will exchange oil and natural gas, while USD loses part of its role.
At this point, Ugly Country is quite dissatisfied and feels that Xinghai Group has stepped into the oil and gas field.
But there is nothing to do, this is a normal business activity, and there is nothing to do with Xinghai Group, Xinghai Group has no business in Ugly Country.
In the future, Xinghai Group's international business activities will become more and more frequent, and they will reduce the use of USD for transactions, which is not a good thing for the ugly country.
two days later,
Mu Yang returned home after get off work at night, and when he was about to rest, Song Xuelu chatted with him about something.
"Husband, my roommate Wang Qiuman is getting married, I want to attend."
"Oh, go if you want, where will it be held?" Mu Yang asked casually, he remembered that Wang Qiuman was a roommate with a better relationship with his wife. When he got married that year, his wife's roommates all participated.
Several of her roommates did not join Xinghai Group after graduation. Students who graduated from Jiangsu and Zhejiang University did not have to worry about finding a job at all.
I heard from his wife that her roommates are all in graduate school, and two of them have gone abroad to study, and Wang Qiuman went to Fu D University to study for an MBA.
"Su Cheng, I don't know what to give now."
"I'll give you whatever you want, but as my wife, and with the relationship between the two of you, it shouldn't be too bad."
"So, I'm confused."
"It's more suitable for the other party's situation. If the other party's economic situation is very poor, you send a collection worth millions, which is of no use to them. It's not worth selling. If you don't sell it, you will be worried by thieves. It can't solve the economic difficulties. It's better to give more red envelopes;
If the economic situation is good, just give people what they like.
In her situation, the financial situation is not too bad, she is also a talent, maybe I am embarrassed to work for Xinghai Group, but charity foundations, Xinghai Bank, investment companies can go, just ask people if they are willing, if her husband If you have good ability, you can go there, but the position is determined by ability. " Mu Yang said with a smile.
"Well, Qiuman didn't want to come to Xinghai Group because of embarrassment. She will graduate in 2015. I asked her for her opinion. She said that she wanted to break into other companies. If she really can't get along, she will come to me." Song Xuelu Smiling.
"There is a superior-subordinate relationship, and it is a bit unnatural for friends to get along with each other. There is no crony in any company. As long as the ability is available, you must use someone you can trust. There is no doubt about it."
"Okay, then I understand." Song Xuelu was not so entangled after hearing Mu Yang's words.
She called the housekeeper and went to the collection room at home to find a suitable jade bracelet or pendant.
There are too many collections at home. There are hundreds of pieces of jade bracelets alone. There are treasures worth from about 100,000 yuan to hundreds of millions of yuan. The treasures are all made of Laokeng glass. Green or violet, not many.
These collections are sometimes given away at home, and the treasures are kept for themselves.
Of course it is not appropriate to give treasures, but it is acceptable to give hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.
