Chapter 1995: The High-Speed ​​Railway Traversing East and West

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

In recent years, a large number of railways in the United States have been dismantled, and more than half of the total mileage has been dismantled, because the speed is too slow and it is not as convenient as driving. You can take a long-distance flight, and the price of air tickets in the United States is still very cheap, because there are many private aircraft companies.

But even so, the United States still has the longest railway line in the world, twice that of China. It's a pity that the efficiency is too low. The biggest use now is to transport goods.

To put it bluntly, the railways in the United States are mainly used to transport goods, and the railways in China are mainly used to transport people. In fact, Huaxia also transports goods, but Huaxia Railway is the most important public transportation, and it mainly transports people during the holidays.

The total mileage of railways in the United States is twice that of China, but the number of passengers transported each year is only about 20 million. In China, two billion passengers are a hundred times that of the United States.

China's railway development is many years later than that of the United States, but it has been developing rapidly in these years, and it can even be said to be the fastest-growing country in the world, not one of them.

From trains to high-speed rails, from subways to light rails, there are many technologies in which China is number one in the world. It's not that other countries don't do research and development, but that they don't have so many lines to build, and they can't pay back the cost of investing so much research and development funds.

The same is true for the United States, not to say that they don't have the strength to develop these technologies, but that they really can't use them, otherwise they wouldn't have dismantled half of them over the years.

In Reed's impression, the American railway is going downhill at all. How could Feng Yu be so blind to invest in this industry.

"Reed, what I'm talking about is a high-speed railway with a daily operating speed of 240km/h. If this is opened, do you think anyone will be willing to take it? Even if it's just transporting goods, the efficiency will increase several times."

Such a fast speed! Reid was a little surprised.

The daily operating speed of the railways in the United States is only 110km/h, which is more than double. Of course, the United States also has a line with a theoretical maximum operating speed of 240km/h, but that is the theoretical speed. Feng Yu said that the daily speed exceeds their theoretical speed, so shouldn't the real theoretical maximum speed exceed 350?

"Reid, my plan is to build a high-speed train from Oakland to New York. This will also be of great benefit to the people of the United States, and there will be more choices for travel."

From Oakland, a city on the west coast of the United States, to New York, a city on the east coast of the United States, it will take more than 4,000 kilometers. This plan is too crazy.

According to Feng Yu, it may take less than a day by train, but at this time, the train from Oakland to New York in the United States will take more than three days!

Because there are many stations, many of them are local small stations, and each station has to stop for a long time. Most of them are for freight, and there is always time to change trailers or unload vehicles.

Only on the east coast, there are some faster ones, but the number of passengers is not large. More Americans still prefer to travel by car or plane, which is more convenient.

Reid frowned: "Feng, you have to consider the difference between us in the United States and your China. We don't have so many people taking the train. The main purpose of the train is to transport goods, and they are all less urgent goods, so the price is relatively cheap. "

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

Feng Yu thought about the price he asked, converted it into US dollars in his heart, and then replied: "The railway construction, including trains and stations, is about 30 million US dollars per kilometer. Are the prices in your country relatively high? "

In fact, if this is in Huaxia, it will definitely not cost so much money. The labor cost of the United States is much higher than that of China, not to mention other construction costs, land costs and transportation costs.

"30 million US dollars per kilometer! Feng, you want to invest so much money?!" Reed turned pale with shock. The whole journey was more than 4,000 kilometers. Didn't it mean that Feng Yu wanted to invest 120 to 30 billion US dollars? Moreover, future cost increases must also be taken into account.

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 definitely greatly enhance Feng Yu's status in the United States, which is different from the social status of wealth.

Feng Yu's eyes twitched wildly: "We are together!"

Damn, am I crazy to invest so much money by myself? Maybe there is something wrong with you in the United States. Why did Feng Yu just say that the port should take the majority? This can be compromised, because he is not prepared to invest too much in this.

The payback period of high-speed rail investment is too long, and infrastructure is the most difficult asset to take away and sell. The risk of such a large investment is not low. Feng Yu took a share, and then helped Huaxia sell high-speed rail to the United States to make money. Feng Yu and Huaxia are a win-win situation.

"Feng, how do we allocate investment plans and shares?" Reid asked again.

"You guys can take control of this. I don't need cash here. I help train management personnel. In addition to construction companies with mature experience, it can even include site construction and planning. I only need 35% of the shares. up."

Reed really wanted to say Bah to Feng Yu! Are we paying for the purchase of rails and trains? The cost of land demolition and relocation is also paid by us. If you provide the construction party, you will occupy 35% of the shares? Why don't you grab it.

"Feng, I don't think we can reach an agreement on this. You didn't pay a cent for the most important resource investment. That construction company also plans to hire you Huaxia, right?"

Hmph, when the time comes, you will pay us a bill, and then you will pay Huaxia another bill later, making the cost inflated, as if you spent a lot of money, but in fact the real cost may be less than 7% Ten, do you think I don't understand this method?

Moreover, in the construction of our country, we must hire talents from our country. We want to stimulate employment and domestic demand, and we use your Chinese people.

Reed didn't know that his mind had already begun to consider the feasibility of this matter. If it is built, how should the two parties invest and how should the shares be allocated.

Feng Yu put on a look that everyone is ready to discuss: "Reed, what do you think should be done? Are you sure I can control this railway? I have the final say on everything I run? You see, can't you? If so, Then I must pay less money. And now you want to build, can you find a mature construction party and designer? I have it here, and I can add a plug, let you build in the United States first, and China wait. You can't do it, can you?"

Reid didn't dare to speak about the distribution plan, but immediately stood up: "Feng, I'm sorry, because you proposed this cooperation project, I need to report to the boss. How about we continue talking at this time tomorrow?"

Feng Yu nodded with a smile: "Okay."
