Chapter 692: Where is the True Purpose?
"Exactly!"
Tian Xing had a smile on his face and said: "Mr. Feng, think about it, your accessories are transported from west to east to Hongshan Port, and after being loaded, they are still transported to the west. If you take the Eurasian land bridge, it will only take ten days to transport it to Spain, so why not?"
Feng Xiaochen turned his head to look at Liu Wang and asked, "Director Liu, do you think Director Tian's suggestion is feasible?"
Liu Wang hesitated for a moment and said, "We really haven't thought of this method before, but will the price be too high if we take the railway transportation?"
Feng Xiaochen shook his head and said, "Director Liu, you haven't calculated, how much does it cost for Lin Chong's workers to stay in Spain and wait for a month?"
"That's just as well. Liu Wang figured it out at once, of course, railway transportation is more expensive than sea transportation, but if you take sea transportation, it will take at least 30 days more, and a few maintenance workers sent by Lin Zhong will have to wait there in vain, and this expenditure is also very considerable. What's more, the customer has already expressed dissatisfaction, and the sooner the customer repairs the equipment, the sooner the customer can use it. If the customer is satisfied with Lin Chong's service attitude and purchases a few excavators in the future, what is the freight value?
The two sides reached a consensus, and several people from the Lin Chong sales office immediately calculated the freight rate with the people brought by Tian Xing in the conference room and agreed on the details of transportation. After careful calculation, we found that the cost of rail transportation is not more expensive than that of sea transportation, because although the unit price of railway transportation is higher, it saves more than 10,000 kilometers of transportation distance, so the cost saved is enough to offset the difference in unit price.
This kind of specific thing naturally does not need to be done by the leader himself, Liu Wang invited Feng Xiaochen, Tian Xing and Song Yang to his office, made them good tea, and began to talk about other things.
"Director Tian, you traveled all the way to give us such an idea?"
Feng Xiaochen took a sip of tea and asked Tian Xing with a smile.
Tian Xing said with a smile: "Of course not, coming up with ideas is only a secondary purpose, the main purpose is to come to meet Mr. Feng and learn from Mr. Feng." ”
"When Director Tian said this, I was embarrassed. Feng Xiaochen snorted, and then asked: "What, is this Eurasian land bridge very important to the Ministry of Railways?"
This is the Ming people who don't speak secret words. If he just wanted to suggest that Lin Chong transport accessories through the Eurasian Land Bridge, Tian Xing didn't need to come to Lin Bei at all, it was enough to call Feng Xiaochen, and even he didn't have to say anything, just let Song Yang make this suggestion to Liu Wang. As for the purpose of coming to Lin Bei to learn from Feng Xiaochen, this kind of talk can't fool children, Feng Xiaochen only thinks that Tian Xing is talking nonsense.
Since it is not for these purposes, Tian Xing must have a more important reason for coming, and this reason must also be related to the Eurasian Land Bridge. Feng Xiaochen asked a direct question like this, but he found a step for Tian Xing, saving him from having to find a reason to lead the conversation in twists and turns.
This time it was Tian Xing's turn to be embarrassed, he made enough gestures, in fact, he just wanted to talk about it. originally planned to talk in a more tactful way, but Feng Xiaochen didn't follow the routine and directly made his words clear, which made him a little difficult to speak.
"The Eurasian Land Bridge was handled by Director Tian. Song Yang gave an explanation to Tian Xing next to him.
Tian Xing hurriedly corrected: "It can't be said that the opening of the Eurasian land bridge is a decision made by the central leadership, and the minister personally deploys it, and I am just one of the specific managers." The opening of the Eurasian land bridge has been highly praised by the central leading comrades, and all sectors of society have also placed high expectations on it. ”
"I see. Feng Xiaochen nodded slightly.
A few years ago, when the railway from Alashankou to Druzhba was successfully connected, the media did pay great attention to the Eurasian land bridge, and many scholars also wrote articles or published speeches, predicting how the opening of the Eurasian land bridge would have an impact on China's economic take-off and such things as Asia-Europe economic cooperation.
But after that, the concept of the Eurasian Continental Bridge was not as widely accepted as expected, so that even Feng Xiaochen couldn't think of a plan to complete the transportation of goods with the help of the Eurasian Continental Bridge at the first time, until Meng Yang gave him a hint, he didn't think of this.
Feng Xiaochen couldn't think of the Eurasian Land Bridge, and Liu Wang couldn't think of it. Obviously, rail transportation can greatly save time and avoid delays caused by sea transportation, but Lin Zhong's cadres are staring at sea transportation, which shows that there is no such thing as the Eurasian land bridge in their minds.
A project that the central leadership attaches great importance to ended up being deserted and uncared for, and the pressure on Tian Xing, as the official in charge of this matter, can be imagined. He personally came to Linbei this time, just to take the opportunity of transporting the underframe beam to communicate with Feng Xiaochen about how to use the Eurasian Land Bridge. Feng Xiaochen has some influence in the industry, and is open-minded, and has always been an active promoter of various important policies.
"The Eurasian Land Bridge was opened in July 1991, and so far, a total of 2.2 million tons of goods have been transported, and in terms of quantity, the expected target has basically been achieved. However, judging from the growth rate of the past few years, the situation is not optimistic, especially since the beginning of last year, the growth of import and export freight volume has come to a standstill, which is far from our original growth target. Tian Xing said.
"What is the reason for this?" Feng Xiaochen asked.
Tian Xing said: "We have also analyzed that there are many reasons. In terms of external factors, since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the political situation in Central Asian countries has been unstable, which has affected the speed of cargo transportation and customs clearance. Secondly, European countries have a wait-and-see attitude towards the Eurasian land bridge, and the cooperation is insufficient, resulting in a small number of goods directly transported from China to Central and Western Europe, and most of the goods are transported to Central Asian countries. ”
Feng Xiaochen nodded, and then asked, "So, what about the internal cause?"
"Internal causes...... Tian Xing's tone softened a little, "It's mainly a matter of our work ability, domestic enterprises are willing to transport export goods through the Eurasian Continental Bridge, and most enterprises still tend to choose shipping, such as Director Liu, who basically does not consider taking the Eurasian Continental Bridge." ”
Liu Wang hurriedly said: "No, no, Director Tian, this matter is mainly ignored by us, empiricism kills people." ”
"Empiricism is indeed a big problem. Song Yang took Liu Wang's words and said, "Our branch has also understood that many companies do not understand the transportation of the Eurasian Land Bridge, even if we go to explain the work, they don't believe it, they feel that they used to use sea transportation in the past, and they are more familiar, and suddenly change the way, and they don't know the bottom of their hearts." ”
Tian Xing said: "So, we want to ask Mr. Feng to help us do some publicity and promotion work." There are many enterprises that your equipment industry company has contacted, and these enterprises are all engaged in equipment manufacturing. The added value of industrial equipment is high, it is not sensitive to freight, but the timeliness requirements are relatively high, so it is more cost-effective to take rail transportation. If equipment manufacturing enterprises like Lin Zhong can make more use of our Eurasian Land Bridge for the transportation of export equipment, then this bridge will live up to its name. ”
Feng Xiaochen smiled and asked Liu Wang, "Director Liu, what do you think?"
Liu Wang shook his head and said, "I'm afraid there are some problems with this." If the transportation of some accessories, the method of using the railway is indeed better than taking the sea, but the transportation of the whole vehicle, the railway will not work. The height of one of our excavators is more than ten meters, and the weight of the whole vehicle is hundreds of tons, and the railway cannot transport it at all. ”
"That's true. Feng Xiaochen said, "We are engaged in large fertilizer equipment, thermal power equipment, etc., all of which have oversized and overweight parts, and special vehicles are needed when transporting them by train, which is very inconvenient." We are now taking the lead in building an extreme manufacturing base in Haidong Province, taking into account the convenience of using sea transportation. If all these oversized and overweight parts are transported by sea, then there is no need for other equipment to be transported by rail, right?"
"I know that, too. Tian Xing said, "My idea is to ask all equipment companies to choose railway transportation when they can choose railway transportation, as far as possible to use railway transportation, if it is not economically cost-effective, or the volume, weight and so on exceed the limits of railway transportation, then should go by sea, or as usual by sea." The enterprises of your equipment system are large enterprises with great social influence, and you choose the Eurasian Continental Bridge transportation, which can provide a good demonstration effect for other enterprises. ”
"If so, that's fine. Feng Xiaochen said. In fact, the idea that Tian Xing just gave Lin Chong is quite good, and it can help Lin Chong save dozens of days of transportation time. All equipment companies may encounter such a thing, and being able to use railway transportation is also an additional choice, which is beneficial and harmless to enterprises.
"We will make a promotion to various companies and tell them that they can consider the matter of Asia-Europe rail transportation, and I can't guarantee whether they have this kind of business. Feng Xiaochen said.
"That's for sure. Tian Xing smiled and said: "As long as Mr. Feng is willing to do some publicity for us, it will be of great help to us, and we will follow up on the future work." In the future, the equipment company and our transportation bureau will be the cooperative unit, and when it comes to things like the allocation of wagons, you can ask your comrades over there to contact me directly. ”
"Then I'll thank Director Tian. ”
"Yes, yes, everyone helps each other. ”
The two sides were polite to each other, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
