Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

High-speed rail has become a topic of discussion among countless Chinese people during the Spring Festival.

On the Internet, high-speed rail has become a hot word, and many people are curious to know what high-speed rail is. And the first high-speed rail from Guangzhou to Shenzhen, many people are also curious to experience it in person.

Although the ticket price is much more expensive than ordinary trains, there are still a large number of people willing to experience and try to see this new thing.

It takes more than 20 minutes to get from Guangzhou to Shenzhen, and it runs more frequently every day. Going shopping in Shenzhen and going back to Guangzhou for dinner is even more convenient than driving out to eat.

In addition to the public discussion, the emergence of high-speed rail is also being discussed by many capitals within China. The emergence of new things makes many people want to try to invest.

Besides, China has now opened up private capital to many projects. Whether it is telecommunications, highways, airports, ports and other infrastructure projects, there are private funds involved.

Even the high-speed rail is like this. For example, the current high-speed rail from Guangzhou to Shenzhen, in addition to the Chinese government, the investor is also Huasheng Railway Group.

Huasheng Railway Group is a company that has just been established for less than two years. Just by hearing the name, you can know who is the capital behind this group.

Huasheng Railway Group is a company under Huasheng Group, and now Huasheng Group has many subsidiaries.

Huasheng Railway, Huasheng Urban Railway, Huasheng Expressway, Huasheng Agriculture, etc. Although Xu Huasheng split a subsidiary once before, Huasheng Group still has many subsidiaries.

In Yanjing, near the end of the year, an investment conference on high-speed rail is being held.

This investment conference attracted a lot of capital.

For investment in high-speed rail, Huaxia has given standards. There is only one purpose, state-controlled, private capital shares, state supervision, and reasonable operation.

The state must control, only in this way can it grasp the initiative of the railway and make the railway truly realize the purpose of benefiting the people.

However, on the basis of benefiting the people, there needs to be some profit, so that it can develop better. But the profit cannot be too high, otherwise it will lose the basis of benefiting the people. There is a degree in the middle, and how to grasp this degree is very critical.

"Welcome everyone, today our conference is mainly about our country's planning for high-speed rail..."

In the conference room, the conference officially began. Those who came to attend the meeting today were all top domestic capital representatives. And the one sitting in the front was Xu Huasheng.

In this room, Xu Huasheng is the youngest. But in this room, no one thinks that Xu Huasheng is not worthy of sitting in the first place.

Xu Huasheng is the largest capital in the country.

Many people sitting below are Xu Huasheng's people. There are too many people who make a lot of money with Xu Huasheng.

"Everyone, please look, this is our country's planning for high-speed rail, eight horizontal and eight vertical high-speed rail networks, these high-speed rail networks are designed to run at a speed of 400 kilometers per hour and operate at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour. The high-speed rail network complements the ordinary railway network, and the construction of high-speed rail will also drive new economic growth areas..."

A huge high-speed rail planning map unfolded, and the eight vertical and eight horizontal high-speed rail networks directly made many people in the room swallow their saliva.

This huge high-speed rail network is so shocking that it covers the entire China. If this high-speed rail network can be completed, it will be much more convenient for Chinese people to travel across the country.

With a high-speed rail of 350 kilometers per hour, it only takes four or five hours to travel thousands of kilometers, which is really fast.

This is a national strategy, and the entire investment will greatly boost China's economy. First of all, such a large infrastructure project will definitely drive many industries, such as cement, steel bars, sand and gravel, etc.

At the same time, it can also drive a large number of jobs. Building these railways requires a large number of workers.

Finally, where the high-speed rail station is built may make it a new economic growth point for a city. Building a new economic zone around the high-speed rail station is also beneficial for many cities.

However, this high-speed rail is not something that ordinary people can afford. The investment is large and the cost recovery is relatively slow. When this line can recover the cost, when it can make a profit, and what the profit point is, no one knows.

"Beijing-Shanghai, Beijing-Tianjin, Shanghai-Hangzhou, Shanghai-Nanjing, Nanjing-Hangzhou, these five lines, our Huasheng Group has invested, the money will be in place at any time, these lines, we are willing to hold 49% of the shares..."

In the meeting room, Xu Huasheng opened his mouth, and everyone took a breath.

My goodness, he opened his mouth and mentioned five high-speed rail lines. If you add the already opened Yangshen high-speed rail, Huasheng Group has directly invested in six high-speed rail lines.

The investment in these six high-speed rail lines is a huge sum of money. Although it only holds 49% of the shares, this amount of money is also terrifying.

However, after taking a closer look at the routes selected by Xu Huasheng, many people immediately understood.

These routes are all routes between developed cities in China. If high-speed railways are built well, the flow of people on these routes will definitely be very large.

With a large flow of people, the benefits may be greater.

But no one knows how much benefit can be gained. But everyone knows that the cost of building high-speed railways is very expensive.

The cost of building one kilometer of high-speed railway is about 15 million yuan. In this era, 15 million is a huge sum of money.

Compared with ordinary railways, the cost of building one kilometer of ordinary railways in China is now less than 3 million. The cost difference of more than five times is too big.

The ticket price of high-speed railways in the future cannot be more than five times that of ordinary railways. If the ticket price is this, there will definitely not be many people taking high-speed railways.

Everyone started to discuss it, but Xu Huasheng sat on the Diaoyutai. For Xu Huasheng, these high-speed railway projects can be invested, but he will definitely invest in profitable routes first. The five routes mentioned by Xu Huasheng are all routes with good profitability in the future.

In addition to this reason, the biggest reason why Xu Huasheng dared to invest so much in high-speed rail is that the high-speed rail technology is in the hands of Huasheng Group.

Now China's high-speed rail technology is completely in the hands of Huasheng Group. The trains are made by Huasheng Huache, the track foundation is in the hands of Huasheng Railway, the construction team is Longteng Construction, and the bridge-building machine and other equipment are also manufactured by the company controlled by Xu Huasheng.

In other words, Huasheng Group is now the largest party B of the high-speed rail project, and most of the money Xu Huasheng invested in the high-speed rail will eventually return to his own hands.

Not only his own investment, but also the money invested by the state will eventually return to Xu Huasheng's hands. Xu Huasheng spent 10 billion to invest in high-speed rail. It is possible that through many subsidiaries, Xu Huasheng can recover 12 billion of investment, so Xu Huasheng is not afraid at all. Just invest directly. The more high-speed rail investment, the more Xu Huasheng earns.
