Chapter 1143 We Are Not Happy to Make Money
There is no airtight wall in the world. Changtian Technology implemented train control in Xia Kingdom, and the news of traffic trains being blocked still spread.
After hearing the news, Xiaguo netizens were angry, overseas netizens were happy, and those foreigners in the foreign affairs and commercial department of Changtian Technology were the fastest, and once again warmly invited Changtian Technology to build a control channel, and the conditions were once again increased.
"In my family's mine, I will give you full rights to mine whatever you like! Okay?"
"Look at how stingy you are! How much do you want? Changtian Technology will give it directly. I will dig it up, clean it, and send it to Xia Kingdom! Free shipping."
"Our country has a large enough population and a good age structure. Why don't we send them to Xia to work? The salary is only one-third of the workers in Xia!"
"Are you giving conditions? You are eating meat! I only need one-fifth of it!"
The conditions are messy and varied, but the main one is difficult to compare. Some countries are relatively poor and have resorted to cruelty tactics.
"If your company continues to refuse to agree, I will really be so anxious that I will jump over the wall!"
"If I can't get the cooperation intention to control the channel, I will have to do a lot of evil when I return home!"
"Give me a chance, even if it's a hundred kilometers long. Our country is small and it's easy to be satisfied. I've been waiting here for a long time despite all the hard work."
After hearing this idiom, the employees of Changtian Technology couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing, even the professionals. These idioms are specious, and foreigners use them without understanding them.
Many of these foreigners do not have biochips and cannot accurately understand the meaning of idioms. In order to communicate, they can only learn spontaneously. The effect is not satisfactory, and the level is uneven.
Foreigners are also confused. Why hasn’t Xia State itself announced any cooperation on train control?
There's no need to keep this kind of thing a secret, and it can't be kept a secret.
Controlled trains and capsule trains are built in relatively dense areas. Who wouldn’t know?
There is only one possibility, that is, Changtian Technology and Xia Guo have not yet reached an intention to cooperate.
After a few days, some cities in Xia Kingdom finally couldn't sit still and came to Changtian Technology to discuss cooperation.
Such cities are basically located in the northwest region of Xia Kingdom and Xinjiang Province. The main feature of such areas is that they are very large and sparsely populated. Originally, the urban investment companies and rail infrastructure companies were unwilling to cooperate, but they were beaten to death by the city managers. They choked to death with "How about you pay for the construction?"
Build super-fast trains in Su, Qing, Tibet, and Xinjiang provinces?
Is there more than just water in the brain?
If you squeeze it out, it will be more than the Pacific Ocean. The cost-effectiveness of construction here is really low, the cost is high, and there are few people. Infrastructure companies across the country are tied up and dare not take orders, so Changtian Technology can only be taken advantage of.
Taken together, it seems that only a model like Changtian Technology can be successful.
Faced with invitations to negotiate from these city management teams, Chen Xiao gave instructions to focus on domestic demand first, and then consider foreign demand, or divide the production capacity ratio, with 80% domestic and 20% foreign. This should always give overseas countries some hope. .
"I'm actually not too willing to do this. Looking at the attitude of these people in China, they are all reluctant, and I feel as if I have wronged them. The attitude of these overseas countries is much more correct, and the conditions are to let us do it at will. They got back to us very quickly and very cleanly.”
"Yeah, it's not that I'm unkind, but sometimes we should let them feel our importance, otherwise they will always feel that Changtian Technology is rushing to send things, and they are not worth it! Do they know that we are here? How popular is it among people at home and abroad?”
"Let them dry out first! Then give them a good face."
The words of the senior management were a bit angry. Even after reaching such a position, everyone was still very young and had a temper. During this period of time, they had been neglected in the country and were simmering with anger. This time they could be considered as seizing the opportunity.
Chen Xiao knew that they were just angry for a moment and would put away their personal emotions when it came to serious matters.
"I know everyone is a little aggrieved, but it doesn't matter if you think about it. After all, this is a new thing, and the investment involved is very large. There are also a series of issues such as cooperation methods. People have to calculate the gains and losses and make up their minds.
They represent the people, so they have to be cautious. The money in their hands also belongs to the people, so naturally they are not as happy as we spend our own money, right? "Chen Xiao comforted him with kind words.
Wang Xiang curled his lips and said, "Hmph! What if the people ask for this money, but they hesitate?"
"Get out of here..." This machine was dismantled so professionally that Chen Xiao almost broke through.
In the end, everyone accepted Chen Xiao's "mediation", and the reasons given by Chen Xiao were very sufficient.
First of all, the Great Northwest’s efforts to repair and regulate trains are not entirely for others. At present, it seems more for themselves.
The Northwest is an important energy base for Changtian Technology. The flow of materials and people here places great demand on control trains.
The previous high-speed rail was too strenuous, and it took more than ten hours to reach the destination. How much of a delay was this?
With the controlled train, the Great Northwest Energy Base can be built into the largest technology and cargo base of Changtian Technology.
With strong transportation capabilities, supplies can be delivered to all parts of the country quickly.
Even if other places are not controlled by trains, Changtian Technology at least delivers things to relatively close places, and Changtian Technology has taken the longest part of the way.
No matter how bad the traffic is in other places, can it be as bad as in the Northwest? It’s enough to digest.
Another point is the issue of talent. With the management train, talents from the surrounding areas can be concentrated in the Changtian Technology Northwest Industrial Park to maximize development and drive the surrounding economy.
The second reason is to pave the way for the Asia-Europe Railway.
Changtian Technology will definitely have a production capacity process in the future, whether it is science, technology or production. After a few years, the country will definitely not be able to digest it. Then they have to be sold, as they are still in desperate need of food abroad.
Xia Kingdom has oceans to the east and south that can be considered, but to the north and west, the only way to consider is trains.
Now I just want to improve the control trains in places like the northwest and Xinjiang provinces, so that goods can be quickly concentrated at the border and then transshipped.
Everyone knows that this seems inconvenient, but currently Changtian Technology must practice internal skills in Xia Kingdom, and sooner or later, the discipline channels will be built all over the world. The Asia-Europe line will naturally have to be arranged in the future. Otherwise, the distance of tens of thousands of kilometers will be reached in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?
The best part is that many of the places that the Asia-Europe line passes through are vast and sparsely populated, and controlled trains can run very well. If it really reaches 4,000 kilometers, it can run from the northwest base in about four hours in the morning. to Germany. With such speed, what kind of bicycle (or airplane) do you need?
The last reason is Chen Xiao's personal feelings for his family and country.
Changtian Technology has developed to this level, and its nature has actually changed. It is no longer just a simple big company.
The output value and valuation have far exceeded all companies. In terms of assets, output value, etc., it is already among the top economies in the world.
At this point, money is no longer an issue. No matter how much you pursue it, you can't spend it all. Then we have to do something that is actually beneficial to the people and promote the development of the backward areas of Xia State.
This is the mission of large companies and they have social responsibilities. Those who evade this responsibility and even plan to use such monopoly companies to extort the interests of the domestic people will eventually be destroyed. For example, a belt boss who is engaged in real estate.
Moreover, if you want greater output value, it is useless to rely on yourself alone. You need to mobilize more manpower. When it arrives, it will not only be necessary to mobilize the people of Xia Kingdom, but also people from all over the world. Maybe it is not enough...
But before that, Chen Xiao hopes to give priority to the development of Xia Kingdom. After all, it is his own family, the people are united and trustworthy, so it is better than looking for foreigners.
As soon as these reasons were revealed, the senior leaders of Changtian Technology gradually calmed down their grievances and began to meet and negotiate with many city managers who had been waiting for a long time.
Cities in backward areas all offer similar conditions, basically two sets of plans.
One is that the city will pay Changtian Technology in full for the construction project, but Changtian Technology will provide the raw materials first, and no money will be paid for this part. After the construction of the project, the controlled trains will be operated by Changtian Technology, but the data must be fully transparent to relevant departments.
The supervision is jointly supervised by Changtian Technology and the state, and the operation period is thirty years. In this way, it is equivalent to an installment payment for materials.
There is nothing we can do about this. No matter how low the cost of Changtian Technology’s disciplined trains are, backward areas may not be able to afford them all at once. How can an economically backward county with a yearly income of only a billion or so do well?
All counties and cities, for this reason, do not want to continue to operate with high debts. Those debts will not be repaid for generations, and the risks are too great. This is the pressure on local debt.
In the past, if we wanted to solve the local revenue and expenditure problem, we usually resorted to borrowing money, issuing bonds, borrowing money from banks, etc. In the end, the debts grew bigger and bigger, and the pit became bigger and bigger. With this model, there will always be a thunderstorm.
This time, cities and counties also plan to develop healthily. As for the thirty-year management rights, it is not the point how much effect it produces, the point is that it can stimulate the economy.
Another option is for Changtian Technology to jointly finance the construction with the city, that is, the project costs and materials will be shared together, and the proportions will be agreed upon by oneself. Trains are run and managed by local authorities.
Every year, Changtian Technology will be given an investment return on its investment, with an annual interest rate of more than 15%.
This plan has greater short-term financial pressure than the previous plan and is suitable for some cities and counties with pillar industries where the income is relatively stable and the funds are relatively controllable.
However, if the investment ratio of Changtian Technology is too high, the repayment pressure on the local government will still be considerable, and the annualized interest rate of 15% is already far higher than the average investment level.
Faced with such conditions, Changtian Technology listened to the explanation very carefully, then took the plan back and handed it over to the team for calculation and feasibility analysis.
It is a pity that both of these plans are unsatisfactory. In the final analysis, it is still because of poverty! Otherwise, they would not be so enthusiastic to seek cooperation with Changtian Technology. They all want to improve the local economy and benefit the people.
The second negotiation started only two days later. Time is money, and Changtian Technology is very efficient.
The team of Changtian Technology announced its plan: “We have conducted research and combined it with the actual situation.
There are two proposals. The first is that Changtian Technology fully finances the construction, and the construction site will give an annualized return of 3.5% on the investment amount every year. Until the capital is recovered and a 10% profit is earned.
The regulated trains are jointly managed by both parties. However, the technology is specially managed by Changtian Technology, and Changtian Technology has unlimited dispatching and use rights for trains.
The second option is for the city to invest, Changtian Technology to provide the technology, and future operations to be split 50-50. After Changtian Technology has repaid its capital and earned 10% profit, the management rights will be transferred to the relevant cities. The technology is still managed by Changtian Technology and has unlimited scheduling and usage rights. "
After the words fell, the city management team was shocked. This condition is more than just a discount? A part-time job is just like giving it away for free!
No matter which one it is, the point is that Changtian Technology only wants to recover its costs and only earn 10% profit. To achieve this goal, it will basically take more than twenty years, right?
For twenty years, just want to make 10% profit? With so much money, the interest earned by throwing it away in the bank is 2.1% per year on a regular basis. If you don't engage in high-risk financial management and use large-denomination certificates of deposit in savings products, you can easily exceed the annualized interest rate of 3.5%. The larger the amount of money you deposit, the higher the interest. Banks are rushing to attract such customers.
After being silent for several minutes, a city leader finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked in a low and hesitant voice: "Really?"
"Really. It's up to you to choose the plan. Any one is fine. If you're not satisfied, we can still discuss it." The people from Changtian Technology looked serious and sincere. In their hearts, they did not understand such a plan at first, but later turned into pure admiration.
After receiving an affirmative answer, the people in the city management team felt that it was Arthur who came out of the morning, which was really silent and defensive. They were prepared for the Changtian Technology Lion to open their mouths. They felt that the profit aspect would require an annualized interest rate of more than 20%, right?
Unexpectedly, Changtian Technology requires 10% of the total profit for the entire vehicle, and there is no requirement for the number of years for repayment.
This means that during the operation process, Changtian Technology even has to pay for the maintenance of the controlled train project first, and then wait for settlement.
As for other conditions, they are really not worth mentioning. Is the technology managed by Changtian Technology?
That's nonsense. Who will manage it if it doesn't manage it? Even if such technology is thrown out, no one will be able to figure it out. Haven’t you seen foreign laboratories accepting their fate and not pursuing it?
Moreover, Changtian Technology has always emphasized joint management and is even ready to hand over management rights. This means that Changtian Technology does not want to monopolize the market and make a fortune through this. Is this what a company should do? A father may not be so unreserved towards his son!
"I... let's go back and study it, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow..." The head of a city management team in southern Xinjiang was so dry that he couldn't speak coherently. He was full of words and just wanted to keep them for himself.
