Section 328 Northwest Artery
Li Cong was really attracted by this locomotive, and he immediately thought of a crazier plan, which Tike didn't think of.
"Tek, you said that a locomotive can carry 200 carriages, so I put another one at the back of the train. Wouldn't it be possible to add 400 carriages? This way the transportation capacity can be doubled directly, every year The transportation capacity of this railway can reach 500 million tons, no matter what we do in the northwest.” Li Cong couldn’t help but feel complacent about his genius idea, but Taike’s mouth could be opened to swallow a raw egg, this boss really Make yourself speechless.
"Wait, sir, do you know how long a carriage is? Generally speaking, trucks are 12 meters long. We use 200 knots, which is already 2,400 meters. Now you want to add 400 knots, theoretically. Your method is fine, but you have to consider the intersection of the railway and the highway along the line. We have trains that run every half an hour and are as long as five kilometers. They cannot pass the road for at least one third of the time every day. We This will seriously block the street." Taike raised a big question, this idea is a bit unrealistic, and Li Cong, who was still having fun over there, immediately drooped his face.
"Wouldn't it be faster to hang two locomotives?" Li never said to be outdone.
"That's okay. I calculated that if there are two locomotives, as long as our steel rails are okay, the speed can reach 180 kilometers per hour. We are dedicated tracks and can go all the way without stopping. We can go from half an hour to one. The shift is slowed down to every 20 minutes, so that there is one more car in an hour, which is not bad, but we don’t have so much food to transport in the early stage.” Li Cong’s idea is somewhat useful, and what Tek said later Li Cong didn't hear it, anyway, his opinion was useful, and then, without waiting for Tektronix to say anything, he asked him to give the drawings of the internal combustion engine, and was going to contact some large machinery factories. Some machinery factories in China have developed a lot.
China Heavy Industries, the largest locomotive manufacturer in the country, immediately gave the answer. According to the drawings, it can be manufactured. The quotation for the entire locomotive is 12 million yuan each, which can reach the predetermined speed. This price makes Li Cong can't help but say I'm covered in cold sweat, mother, the price is too expensive, my energy conversion machine is only 4 million, and I can pay back the cost in a day, and you need tens of millions to build a locomotive, stealing money, violence.
In fact, it was Li Cong who wronged him, not to mention installing his newly modified engine, even the old one is about 13 million. If it weren't for Li Cong's large order, the asking price would definitely be Even higher.
Anyway, Li Cong is not short of these small money, and he ordered 600 immediately. It is not the first time that China Heavy Industries has cooperated with Li Cong. When they quoted this price, they kept less than 700,000. Profit, knowing that this rich man can't afford to offend, sure enough, when someone ordered, hundreds of millions of profits were immediately obtained, and other places were losing money, so he made money by doing business with Li Cong, and asked for more for him if nothing else.
Moreover, doing business is not as happy as Li Cong. After signing the contract here, there will be an immediate payment of 8 billion yuan. This is not the first time we have cooperated and are familiar with the requirements of the other party. It’s good, when the time comes, tens of millions of tens of millions will be given to the workers as bonuses. In order to grab the project to work with Li Cong, several workshop directors of China Heavy Industry almost broke their heads, not for anything else, just for money .
But Li Cong is not a fool. A confidentiality agreement must be signed. This thing, like an energy conversion machine, must be controlled by the mind, otherwise it will be a waste if it is made by other people. This technology of aliens will always be Li Cong's favorite. .
Baosteel is currently the best steel manufacturing company in China, and it ranks high in the world. As long as there is steel involved in Li Cong's factory, it is basically produced by Baosteel.
This time is no exception. Baosteel has rejected all orders to produce rails exclusively for Li Cong’s Northwest Railway. The entire railway line needs hundreds of millions of tons of steel, and Baosteel’s annual output is only 40 million tons. It doesn’t matter what Baosteel does. As long as it is qualified, you can bear the responsibility. Originally, ordinary lines can use 50 tons of steel per kilometer, but Li Cong’s railways are used more frequently, and they are based on special coal transportation lines. The standard is raised to a higher level, and 75 tons of steel are used per kilometer, which adds a lot of cost to the railway, but the state does not interfere with this. The better you repair it, the happier the country is. This standard transports tanks. no problem.
The Ministry of Railways did not let Li Cong down. In fact, the national government departments have never let Li Cong down. Li Cong’s biggest question is why people say that the government’s efficiency is slow, but the government department that I cooperate with is fast. Surprisingly, I didn’t find any phenomenon of asking for cards. I sent them to others on my own initiative, and some still didn’t accept them. Don’t I live in the same society as everyone else? The 16th Bureau came up with a plan within a month, and after three weeks of preparation, the first batch of 6 million tons of rails could be transported to Lanzhou to start laying.
At the groundbreaking ceremony, the government also gave Li Cong enough face. This is the most expensive railway in China. The prime minister personally cut the ribbon at the scene. The total investment is as high as 270 billion yuan, which is 40 billion yuan more than the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway. It became the first dedicated grain transportation railway built by individuals in the history of the People's Republic of China.
The name of the energy group has once again been beautified by journalists from various countries. It is impossible to say that the Northwest Artery can be called the number one in the world in terms of investment scale and technical standards. Specialized freight rail.
Li Cong also appeared on the cover of Time Magazine with this incident, becoming one of the few Chinese who appeared on the cover of the magazine. As a businessman, perhaps everything he wanted has reached the peak, but according to his dream of being the first person in the world, now It can only be the beginning.
One has to fight against others to live with passion, but fighting against people all over the world is not just about passion, there may be some other factors involved.
"I didn't expect to see Mr. Li here again. It has been more than a year since we left Beijing. Mr. Li's business is really getting bigger and bigger. Do you remember the little girl?" I feel a little weak from the whole body, looking back, this woman feels amazing, let alone, I really don't know her, but she looks familiar, but I can't tell who it is.
(Thank you Comrade Jin Ziguang for the reward, and also thank you comrades who have rewarded the younger brother before. If you have the ability, you can reward it in the future. It’s okay if you don’t have the ability to yell in the book review area. The younger brother also knows that someone will read it. Just stick to it. complete)
