The Baixiu Line Railway was completed and put into operation, with a total investment of 6 billion yuan, which was almost unique in China at that time.

Today, in 1990, China's Ministry of Railways delivered a total of 388 kilometers of railways. If the white embroidery thread is singled out, the average cost of the remaining 220 kilometers of railways is only about 3 million yuan.

Of course, this is only the new main line delivery mileage, and the additional double-track delivery mileage of 637 kilometers has not been counted.

Compared with the cost of these new lines in other parts of the country, the price of 10 million yuan per kilometer in the early stage and 6 million yuan per kilometer in the later stage is really expensive.

From the beginning of the construction of the white embroidery thread, the Ministry of Railways did not know how many people were waiting to see Fu Zhiheng's jokes.

As the director of the Shengjing Bureau, who was parachuted from the chief engineer of the Ministry of Railways, it is impossible to say that everyone will be convinced.

Although the Ministry of Railways has made it clear that it wants to introduce American railway standards, due to the gap in national strength between China and the United States, there has never been anyone who dares to be the first to eat crabs. Fu Zhiheng's family went bankrupt and borrowed six billion yuan from China Railway Construction Investment, and he was about to launch China's first new standard railway. Behind his back, he said that he was an opportunist, and the bureau sent some dime stamps to the Ministry of Railways, and when he opened his mouth, he suspected how much and how many billions he was greedy for in the project, and what he said was the same as what he saw with his own eyes.

Fu Zhiheng's psychological pressure can be imagined how arduous it is.

The construction of white embroidery thread is not only a little bit of resistance.

There is no one in China that raises funds, organizes the production of technical equipment, formulates construction standards, and even can undertake the construction of this new standard railway!

Fu Zhiheng was under tremendous pressure at that time and was the first to open a national bidding. The engineering group under the Ministry of Railways, as long as it can come up with a feasible engineering plan and have the necessary engineering equipment for construction, will hand over the project of 6 billion yuan to whom!

However, such a big piece of cake and such an open and honest attitude have won very few bidders.

The only few bidders came up with plans, and they were all angry to watch. It's not the idea of contracting to a foreign company, or it's just adding more water to the old standards.

As a last resort, Fu Zhiheng can only be self-reliant and tap potential internally. The three engineering construction groups under the Shengjing Road Bureau, Xiucheng Road Bureau and Jilin Road Bureau were merged and reorganized into the Ninth Bureau of China Railway, and the director of the bureau was concurrently served by himself. It mobilized all the elite soldiers and strong generals under the three engineering groups, and purchased a large number of engineering equipment, so that it could be regarded as having the capital to cross the river by feeling the stones.

It must be said that the cost of white embroidery thread is inseparable from the use of a large number of construction machinery by China Railway Ninth Bureau.

Among them, especially the investment in the track-laying machine is the most revolutionary. China Railway Ninth Bureau is considering the introduction of Plasetauer's track-laying machine from Austria, with concrete sleepers and 75 kilograms of steel rails, which can be said to be the only top railway in the country.

However, the Austrians opened their mouths, and a set of rail-laying machines cost 10 million US dollars! What should I do?

However, the money was not spent in vain, and the technicians of Xiucheng Heavy Machinery Group and Dagang Locomotive Factory followed the construction team to eat and live together, and they had the momentum of not giving up without studying thoroughly.

Concrete sleepers and heavy rail prefabrication manufacturers can also not be found in China. There is no way, but to cultivate from scratch, just the production workshop of concrete sleepers, China Railway Ninth Bureau has invested tens of millions of yuan in Xiucheng to help a local cement company carry out technological transformation and industrial upgrading.

In terms of rails, it is easy to say, Gangcheng Group is eager to wear the white embroidery railway, and the production of rails is the first echelon.

Fu Zhiheng finished running the production enterprise, and followed the construction team to eat and live on the railway line. For many technical issues, he, the former chief engineer, had to come up with the idea personally. When the winning bid is different from the American standard, it is necessary to make a careful decision.

After all, it is equally impossible to say that all copies of the American Standard are copied. Although the new bid refers to a large number of heavy-haul railway standards of the United States, the actual situation has to be adapted to local conditions.

For example, in the heavy-haul railways in the United States, the axle load generally reaches the level of 35 tons, and I am afraid that Fu Zhiheng will not be able to get this data to kill. In 1990, the largest domestic wagon was only 21 tons of axle load. The heavy-duty wagon running on the white embroidery line has an axle weight of 25 tons, which is still very difficult to take out, but it still can't even reach the international heavy-duty standard of 27 tons.

The axle load is not the weight of the train axle, but the maximum weight of the whole vehicle that can be shared by each axle. Put simply, this means that the self-weight load it can withstand is equal to the axle load multiplied by the number of axes.

And don't look at the 35-ton axle weight in the United States, people still use wooden sleepers with a history of nearly 100 years!

Those who don't know look at it, I rub it, this special US imperialist black technology is really cowhide! The axle load of China's railways is so low, it must be the monopoly of the iron general and does not work, and it is a proper system problem!

However, in fact, as long as you have seen the heavy-haul railroad in the United States, you will know that the running speed of this cargo is low! Like an old ox-pulled broken car, the railway route has not been renovated for decades. Americans rarely choose to travel by train, but it is actually a passenger route that is more exciting than a roller coaster.

With such a difference, Fu Zhiheng must decide for himself how to choose. Once the white embroidery thread is put into operation with the new standard, his construction standards will become the general standard of the whole country in the future, how can he not be careful.

After the construction was on the right track, he had to be stationed at the Dagang Locomotive Factory. The wagons of heavy-haul railways are not the same as ordinary freight wagons, and the braking of ordinary trains depends on wind pressure, and the transmission time from front to back is a few minutes, and the structural strength can still be supported.

However, the domestic axle load cannot be increased, so the number of marshalling can only be increased. In this way, a 10,000-ton freight train may have to be pulled out for two or three kilometers. At this time, air pressure is still used, and the transmission time is unacceptable. Otherwise, the front stopped and the back did not slow down, and the inertia of 10,000 tons came over, and the steel was as brittle as a chocolate bar.

Fortunately, Bai Yinhua is in Inner Mongolia, and the road to Xiucheng is a flat river, and there is no uphill or downhill problem. Otherwise, it's better to climb the hill, you can't brake when you try the 10,000-ton heavy-haul train downhill, that's really sour enough.

Obviously, the wind suppression is not good, and it is necessary to have a controllable row tail and electro-pneumatic combined braking, which are all big pits that need to be invested.

This is only a requirement for braking, and it is even more a technical job to marblock a 10,000-ton train. Freight cannot all be the same destination, how to marshalling is not as simple as a programmer to write a program, in the design of the wagon must first do a good job of measures, easy to adjust.

In addition, the loading and unloading efficiency of heavy-haul trains is also required, otherwise it will not be possible to unload a train a day, and it is useless to run more. From rotary couplers to train group connectors and unloading dumpers, heavy-haul railways need to build a complete transportation system.

With lines and locomotives, there must be people in the end, right? Where the so-called "smart people" are indispensable. A discerning person can know at a glance that the white embroidery thread is obviously a big pit. Not to mention the instability in the past, the business also needs to be retrained, the work intensity is higher, and the possibility of problems is also higher.

Once the profit of white embroidery thread is not as expected, it is a matter of minutes for Fu Zhiheng to get out of class. When the time comes, the person who believes in his evil and follows the white embroidery thread can be left behind in the new director?

This has come and gone, and even the employees of the depot have become a problem.

In the end, you can only compete for a post in the overall situation, sign up independently, and go if you are admitted. As a result, there are very few people who are willing to turn their relationships around when they take the exam, and most of them are young people in some systems, holding feelings such as developing frontiers and dedicating their youth, so they will get on Fu Zhiheng's "thief ship".

As a last resort, Fu Zhiheng had no choice but to learn from Hu Wenhai and set up a labor service company. First, some workers who were waiting for their posts were transferred in, and then some of their own cronies in the leadership posts were transferred, and a group of contract workers were recruited in the society as a last resort, which can be regarded as filling the gap in the Baixiu section.

How to form, run-in, assign positions and adjust the relationship of the team in the depot occupies Fu Zhiheng's energy much higher than that of construction.

The staff of the train depot have been arranged, Bai Yinhua's station has also been repaired, and warehouses in logistics centers have also risen from the ground, but things have not been lost because of this.

Due to the use of the new railway standard, problems frequently appeared during the trial operation. With just a ten-minute running interval, I don't know how many more gray hairs the dispatchers will have. Even the signaling system of the railway needs to be recustomized because of the interference caused by the high-power power supply of heavy-haul trains.

In addition, there is also the first LKJ operation supervision and TDCS dispatching and command system for the whole road, and Tietong's network has finally come into use. The computer equipment of the dispatch center, the entire operation process and the electronic equipment in the past have been completely changed, and the entire system is almost to be overturned.

A railway with an annual output value of several billion yuan has a total of just over 3,000 employees. Thanks to the blessing that people are not easy to find, Fu Zhiheng happily decided to explore a new operation mode in Baixiu Thread and vigorously promote the level of automation. A comprehensive maintenance center, an operation center, and a logistics comprehensive industrial development center have been set up to centralize a large number of management and logistics work.

Coupled with a large amount of capital and talent investment, the requirements of maintenance mechanization, operation automation and comprehensive monitoring have been basically achieved.

The white embroidery railway is full of problems, and it can be said that Fu Zhiheng did it with one hand and one foot. How much effort and pressure is contained in this, outsiders can't imagine it.

It is precisely because of this that when the white embroidery thread has recovered its cost in only one and a half years of operation, this answer sheet is more and more shocking.

In the end, the entire white embroidery thread was put into operation, and the transportation efficiency achieved was so high that it shocked a large group of people with their jaws and glasses.

The 10,000-ton heavy-haul train with two locomotives departs at intervals of 10 minutes. In 1990, the annual volume reached 100 million tons, and 24 trains were sent out every day, and the tracks were only used for four hours a day. Bai Yinhua's coal mine output is actually not enough to feed the volume of white embroidery thread. However, even so, the profitability of the white embroidery thread still shocked the entire Ministry of Railways.

With such achievements, Fu Zhiheng has enough reasons to be a little proud.

But for him, the business has only just begun. Just the white embroidery thread could not satisfy his appetite, and the transformation of the existing thread of the Shengjing Bureau was a more difficult fortress, but he was ready for it.

After the construction of the white embroidery thread, his road to the position of minister can be said to be without suspense. In the entire Shengjing Bureau, no one dared to disobey his orders. The Shengjing Bureau really wanted to bankrupt the family this time, and even the office building of the Shengjing Bureau in Shengjing was mortgaged to the China Railway Construction Investment Bank.

There is no way, the investment efficiency of returning the cost in one year and doubling it in two years is too much to refuse. When you get on the heavy-haul railway, don't mention what train rings, and there are ten thousand taels of gold. Just 10,000 taels of gold, embarrassed to take it out?

As for the workers on the white embroidery line, they naturally have to sigh that some people are "smart but mistaken by smart".

Those employees who took the initiative to be admitted have now taken up key positions. Due to the good efficiency of the section, wages and benefits are not a problem at all, and the income is at least twice as high as that of other section employees.

And those employees who are reluctant to come over, because the relationship is still on the side of the dispatch company, the promotion and salary increase will naturally be ranked behind. What? Now you want to transfer the relationship to the section? It's too late, and in the first month after the operation of the white embroidery line, Fu Zhiheng announced that the establishment of the white embroidery section and the Baiyinhua station is only in and out.

There is even gossip that the bureau is even considering whether to implement this labor dispatch method in the whole country. In the next few years, the existing lines of the Shengjing Bureau were renovated according to the standard of white embroidery thread, and 300,000 railway workers could cut 100,000 people, not to mention.

The extra 100,000 people are likely to be transferred to the Ninth Bureau of China Railway.

After all, in the foreseeable future, there is only one team in China that can undertake the construction of new standard heavy-haul railways.

If China Railway Ninth Bureau is a listed company, needless to say, the stock price must have been rolling up now. The relationship is transferred to the Ninth Bureau of China Railway, and the future may not necessarily be inferior to the railway.

Not to mention that China's railways can never be completed, but one day there will be no need for such a large amount of work in China, so isn't there still a vast world in Africa and something to do?

Of course, for people who mess around, it's actually the same everywhere.

I have to say that Fu Zhiheng is lucky. Fortunately, the white embroidery line heavy-haul train did not have a serious accident at the beginning of the investment, fortunately there is the support of China Railway Construction Investment behind him, fortunately in this is a beautiful era of reform.
