Treasure Hunt America

Hearing this, Jin Muchen knew that Kate and Jesse must have encountered a very special story at this banquet.

"After we went in, we found out that this banquet is really unusual. You must know that I have been in New York for so many years. Even if I have never attended such a party, I have heard of a lot. But as far as I know, this kind of party At parties, the leaders of large and influential local companies or local politicians are usually entertained. But at this party, I did not see a local New York official, which made me very strange. Most of the people who attend these gatherings are unfamiliar people, but although I don't know these people, I can feel that their background is not small, they are not ordinary people, and even some people are far away, I can feel it. Smell that sub-bureaucratic smell on them...so I'm sure there were quite a few politicians at that party..."

Jesse said this, but it made Jin Muchen feel a little more confused. These Hearsts, in a place like New Jersey, hold such a reception, and instead of inviting local politicians, they are entertaining a group of foreigners. Politicians, what are they thinking?

And how did this reception turn into the pursuit of Jesse and Kate? Jin Muchen had so many questions, but he didn't interrupt Jesse so that she could continue talking.

"Afterwards, Kate and I approached separately, and those people secretly asked what they were talking about. Finally, in a living room upstairs, in a living room, [email protected] fwx.n⊥et, We overheard some useful information. That was when I went upstairs to look for the toilet. As a result, at the corner of the stairs, I found a room specially guarded by bodyguards. I knew that there must be someone talking about things there. , I also knew that if I just went in like that, I would definitely not be able to get close to the door, and I would be caught by those bodyguards, so I went back downstairs and sneaked into the kitchen, just to see someone in the kitchen helping the building The guests in that room were preparing meals, so I secretly installed a bug under the dining car, hehe, it's not easy for us to bring the bug in, you know we're sneaking in. At that time, the security of those guys was very strict, not only to search the body, but also not to bring mobile phones..."

Having said this, Jesse couldn't help showing off, Jin Muchen nodded quickly and said to her: "Well, I know you are the most capable, well, let's continue talking, what have you heard?"

Jesse glanced at him, obviously dissatisfied with his perfunctory attitude, but did not continue to entangle, and continued: "Soon the dining car was pushed upstairs, and Kate and I found a room downstairs. , I started eavesdropping, and guess what? Kate and I were both startled when I heard it. It turned out that the people in that room were definitely not small, including the attorney general of California, and the development plan of California. The chairman of the design committee, there are a lot of bureaucrats in California, and there are several business tycoons. The things they discussed are also very simple, that is, the construction of the high-speed rail from San Francisco to Los Angeles, mainly involving the specific land acquisition, and the land acquisition. How much money, how to deal with those guys who like to make troubles, and finally which companies will win the bid for the construction of the high-speed rail, and which company will win the bid in the end... Because Kate and I were both very nervous at the time , plus there are too many sources of interference signals in that room, there are many details, we can all hear them clearly, but the specific content should be like this..."

Hearing this, Jin Muchen finally came to a realization. No wonder Jesse said she didn't know much of the people at the banquet. The high-ranking officials at the emotional banquet were all high-level officials from California, not officials from New York.

And the Hearst family entertained these high-ranking officials here and discussed these matters. The meaning is very clear. It seems that they want to be involved in the construction of the California high-speed rail. You must know that this is a big piece of fat. what!

In fact, there has always been a lot of debate in the United States about the construction of high-speed rail in the United States. In fact, it was the construction of the Pacific Rim Railway and the large railway that traverses the United States. This established the territory of today. You must know that the United States was a It was not long after the development of the Great West, and New Mexico and Texas at the time were all snatched from the Mexicans, and their rule over those two states was not stable.

Later, in order to allow more Americans to come from the east to the west, they began to build large-scale railways across the country, and finally, in just a few decades, they built the world's first mileage railway at that time.

The railway construction during that time period has made many tycoons and tycoons in the United States, and even now many of the best millionaires started by participating in the construction of those railways.

But later, in the 1920s and 1930s, the world's most serious economic crisis broke out in the United States. In order to revitalize the economy, Roosevelt, who came to power at that time, began to carry out infrastructure construction across the country, mainly to promote the construction of highways. He also encouraged the development of the auto industry in the United States, because he knew that these industries could greatly promote the employment of the population.

It is precisely because of Roosevelt's promotion that highways in the United States have been rapidly constructed, and automobile companies have expanded rapidly. Later, they became a new force in promoting the development of the American economy.

But after World War II, the economic development of the United States entered a golden age. At that time, the American industry was in its golden age. More cars were introduced to the market, and more and more families began to own cars. Aircraft companies have continued to expand in the field of passenger aircraft, and more and more airports have been built, and the aviation industry has also been greatly developed.

It is precisely under these two factors that the railway industry in the United States has fallen into recession and difficulties. The railway infrastructure is in disrepair, the trains have not been updated for many years, and the speed of the trains is terribly slow.

When most people travel, they start to choose more and more flexible cars and faster planes. In the United States, railways can only be seen as a supporting role in the transportation industry.

So far, only some intercity railways have been reserved for passenger rail transportation in the United States, for those who live in satellite cities to commute to get off work every day, or some sightseeing trains for those who like to travel. , are reserved for freight, and many freight transportation is still done by rail transportation in the United States.

Therefore, rail transportation in the United States can be said to have been stagnant for decades, and the concept has not been very popular with the American people.

In such a situation, only in recent years, China began to build high-speed trains in large quantities, and the United States began to clamor for the construction of such high-speed railways in the United States.

However, the construction of the high-speed railway has been discussed many times in the United States, but it has not been able to reach an agreement between the government and the people, and the people have always had a lot of debates about the construction of the high-speed railway.

Although the high-speed railway is very convenient, there are still many American people who do not like this thing, because they feel that the railway train cannot take them to their doorstep, so it is not convenient to take the train by car. Drive more flexible.

And if you go long distances, there are still so many airlines in the United States. You can choose to travel by plane. After all, flying by plane is much faster and more convenient than high-speed trains.

Therefore, in the eyes of many Americans, the construction of high-speed railways is a complete duplication of construction and a waste of taxes paid by taxpayers. The United States does not need high-speed railways at all.

Moreover, many airlines and automobile companies are also very hostile to this kind of high-speed railway. After all, if such a railway is really built, it will definitely take away some of their passenger sources. It is unacceptable, so the construction of high-speed rail has been discussed in the United States for several years, but in the end it has not been determined, and there is no high-speed rail of one kilometer in the United States.

However, although many Americans oppose the construction of such high-speed railways, there are still many Americans who support the construction of such high-speed railways.

For example, those who travel frequently~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Most of the Americans are relatively large, and if they travel frequently, they will often fly, but most companies can only afford that kind of economy class, economy class Everyone knows what the space looks like, and obviously that kind of seating isn't really suitable for those big Americans.

Therefore, many people who need to travel frequently for work are very welcome. The construction of high-speed rail, and for example, many people who often need to commute between two cities, also welcome high-speed rail. After all, it can save them a lot of time. After all, not everyone They like to drive long distances.

And there are some local governments who also highly value the construction of high-speed rail, because if the high-speed rail is built, it can create a lot of job opportunities and solve a lot of employment problems, so many local governments actually like to build high-speed rail.

But unfortunately, in the United States, the government does not have the final say in everything, so the construction of this high-speed rail has been delayed until now. Since 2008, Americans began to talk about building high-speed rail in the United States, but eight years later, the United States is still There is not even a kilometer of high-speed rail.

But some time ago, some rumors finally came out that the United States is finally going to build a high-speed rail, and the most likely one is the line from Los Angeles to San Francisco in California. (To be continued.)
