Const, general manager of Const Road Construction Company in the United States, expressed his dissatisfaction with the second cooperation model given by Zhang Chunping, "Mr. Chief Executive, you must know that when a road construction company builds a railway in the United States, it not only enjoys the permanent right to operate the railway company, but also wants to have a special government subsidy for railway construction, and even a subsidy for the land around the railway, which is far more attractive than the conditions of your country!" ”

Zhang Chunping nodded and replied: "Mr. Const, you are right, it is true in the United States, the government subsidizes road construction companies to repair roads, but why should we maintain the same policy as your country?" It is important to know that this preferential policy in your country is only open to domestic investors, not to other countries. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Could it be that the conditions I have given, the 50-year operation period, your investment has not been able to pay the cost and make a lot of money? You know, fifty years later, the infrastructure and operating equipment of the railway have aged and need to be updated, and the profitability of the railway is at its weakest at that time. Moreover, in order to take care of the interests of the contractor, we are also willing to continue to talk about handing over the operation right to the contractor, however, the contractor must pay a certain amount of authorization fee to the Huaxia Empire every year, in addition, our Huaxia Empire will also provide a subsidy of 1,000 taels of silver per kilometer for the road construction companies......"

A subsidy of 1,000 taels of silver per kilometer, compared to the cost of 10,000 taels of silver per kilometer, although it does not seem to be a lot, but between a railway can easily be hundreds of kilometers or even thousands of kilometers, this is definitely a huge expense, calculated in 2,000 kilometers, that is two million taels of silver!

Const bit his lip, it is true that the policy is not as good as that of the United States, but, besides the United States, what other country has such a favorable policy? Not one! Absolutely not one!

Zhang Chunping continued: "The third form of cooperation is that there are Western companies voluntarily investing in the construction of railways with local governments and private capital, which is limited to the construction of railways in a certain province, and the three parties share the railway revenues, but the proportion of foreign capital in the shares shall not exceed 50 percent, and in the same way, for each kilometer, a subsidy of 1,000 taels of silver will be provided to the joint railway company, and foreign capital can hold the shares of the joint venture company in perpetuity and allow transfer. The fourth way of cooperation, there is the Huaxia Empire funding, the road construction company provides railway construction technology and engineers, contracting the entire project, each road construction company to the railway project to put forward the corresponding construction plan and quotation, our Huaxia Empire Public Transport Department will select our partners, in accordance with the contract, timely payment, the railway construction is completed, all railway facilities, equipment and technical personnel, all handed over to the Ministry of Public Transport! ”

The latter two ways of working together are the focus! With private capital and government joint ventures, the capital pressure of the road construction company will be much smaller, and it can also hold shares permanently, which is cheap for nothing!

As for the fourth way, it is even more sure to make a profit without losing money! The road construction company is only responsible for building and giving quotations, and the Chinese Empire is responsible for paying for it, so it's not simple? As long as there are no accidents, the money will be 100% profitable! Even if it was only 30% of the profit, after a 2,000-kilometer railway was built, the profit would be about a million pounds!

"Hehe, Mr. Chief, your fourth cooperation is not bad, I think, I would be happy to let my Const Railway Company undertake such a project, we are willing to bid!"

Const laughed.

"However, Mr. Const, if you want to bid, you must meet one condition, that is, you must be a company of the Huaxia Empire, or a railway company registered in the Huaxia Empire before you can bid......"

I'll go......

Const almost vomited blood, where is there such a play person, said for a long time, such a good thing is handed over to the Chinese, there is nothing to do with us foreigners!

"Mr. Chief, your fourth one said it and didn't say it!"

"Who said that?"

Zhang Chunping pretended to be stunned and said, "Mr. Const, you don't think that this condition will bother you, right?" ”

"Isn't it bothered? You only bid for bidding from your company, what else can we do? ”

Const didn't have a good airway.

"Who says there's no way? That's just you Yankees! ”

On the side, Christine, the chief comprador of the Prussian Krupp company, sneered, "This question couldn't be simpler, if you don't want to bid, then it will be cheaper for us Prussians, haha......"

Const's face turned red, and Zhang Chunping smiled: "Yes, how can there be no way?" Wouldn't Mr. Const invest money in the Chinese Empire and register a railroad company? As long as you have the technology, the engineers, and the funds, it is not difficult to register a new railway company, right? ”

Const was completely embarrassed, and what a shame it was, Lao Tzu actually forgot about this stubble! Registering a new railway company in the Huaxia Empire soon solved the problem? Anyway, there are a lot of businesses to do in the Chinese Empire in the future, according to the railway plan of the Chinese Empire, not to mention the next twenty years, even if it is thirty years, or even fifty years, their railways may not be able to be completed!

Zhang Chunping looked at the people around him, and suddenly said in a loud voice: "The first thing is the loan of our Huaxia Empire, the loan of 20 million pounds, and the subsequent loan of 30 million pounds, we invite four or five banks to share this loan......

A loan of 20 million pounds! This is not a small amount, even the largest bank in the United States, the current largest Morgan Bank, may not be able to raise less than 20 million pounds, this is 100 million dollars! It's not that Morgan Bank doesn't have $100 million, but if it takes out a loan of $100 million, then Morgan Bank's blood loss will be too bad, and it will seriously affect the business in other areas!

Not only JPMorgan Bank, but also Citibank, HSBC, etc., it is difficult for one to swallow these loans alone!

"Also, for the sake of convenience, we want the banks to lend us no less than four million pounds, and if any bank does not have the strength, then it will be disrespectful......"

Zhang Chunping squinted his eyes and said, a bank took out four million pounds, even this number, for various banks, it is not a small number, after all, no bank will take out its own money and lend it to others, even if the interest rate is high!

"Four million dollars!"

"Mr. Chief, where is the average bank so powerful to provide a loan of four million pounds in one go?" Hopefully you'll be able to cut the bar in half, to two million pounds, or even a million pounds! ”
