Chapter 0505 is not a loss-making business
It is not unreasonable for the Huaxia Railway Corporation to produce the feeling that Gu Yu wants to kill them, don't look at the railway department every year to transport billions or even tens of billions of passengers, and the goods transported are also countless, but for a long time, the Huaxia Railway Corporation is out of a state of loss, all the railway operating lines, in a profitable state only account for a small number of departments, most of them are losing money.
Taking the high-speed rail that has emerged in recent years as an example, only the imperial capital to the magic capital and other lines are profitable, and many other high-speed rail lines are actually not profitable or even lose money. The main competitor of high-speed rail is the civil aviation sector, because of the rise of high-speed rail, the domestic civil aviation sector has actually been greatly affected, which can be seen from the lower and lower domestic civil aviation ticket prices.
Due to various natural reasons, civil aviation has always been at a disadvantage in terms of short- and medium-distance journeys and high-speed rail competition, although it cannot be said to be a complete rout, but it is also in a defensive position. If it is said that the civil aviation department wants to compete with the Huaxia Railway Corporation, the Huaxia Railway Corporation will only answer with contempt and disdain.
But now it's different, Gu Yu has proved its ability with a cargo spaceship, a cargo spacecraft transporting five or six hundred tons only needs a little modification, it can be converted into a very good passenger spaceship, and it can overcome all the bad places of high-speed rail, civil aviation and other modes of transportation, directly build the airport in the city center, and do not need to occupy a lot of land like the railway to build the track, and its speed is quite fast, not worse than civil airliners, or even surpassed. If it can be on par with high-speed rail in terms of fares, then high-speed rail can be said to have no competitive advantage at all.
The Huaxia Railway Corporation was all panicked, in the past, they would not regard Gu Yu as an opponent at all, and even sneered at and disdained the big business sent by Gu Yu, but now, they are about to let people serve it, and then they know that they are panicking.
This time, the Huaxia Railway Corporation was no longer reserved, and they looked like they were ignoring the answers, and they directly called the negotiation team sent by Gu Yu and invited the negotiation team to the headquarters of the Huaxia Railway Corporation to talk. This was unthinkable in the past, and in the past, the negotiation team went to the Huaxia Railway Corporation to ask for it.
If it had been left in the past, if the negotiation team had received a call from the Huaxia Railway Corporation, it would have been overjoyed, but now it is different, the negotiation team has received a strict order from Gu Yu, and without his approval, it is forbidden to have any contact and contact with the Huaxia Railway Corporation. Not to mention that the Huaxia Railway Corporation is still putting on the big brother and asking them to go to the Huaxia Railway Corporation to negotiate, even if the Huaxia Railway Corporation sends someone to Guchao Technology, they may not be able to get Gu Yu's reception.
On the one hand, he rejected the negotiation request of the Huaxia Railway Corporation, and Gu Yu instructed the Australian negotiation team to contact the manufacturer of the Australian road train, but Gu Yu did not put forward more orders for the manufacture of the road train, but issued a takeover offer to the manufacturer, hoping to acquire the manufacturer as a wholly-owned company.
Facts have proved that road trains are also feasible in China, but there are many things that need to be improved, whether it is an unmanned system, or a miniature nuclear power engine, etc., it is impossible to leak out the secret, only by taking the entire manufacturing process into his own hands, Gu Yu can rest assured that the road train can be transformed. According to Gu Yu's estimates, there should be a lot of road trains in the future, rather than ordering from Australia one by one, it is better to directly buy the manufacturer, and when the time comes, he can toss it as he wants, and he is not bad for the money he buys.
Gu Yu's acquisition offer in Huaxia, as well as Australia have caused a huge sensation, Huaxia from Gu Yu's acquisition offer felt Gu Yu's courage and determination, obviously, once Gu Yu is successful, it will definitely be a large-scale promotion of road trains within Gu Chao Technology, that is to say, it is almost impossible for Huaxia Railway Corporation to make a penny from Gu Chao Technology, especially the second pharmaceutical factory.
From this takeover offer, the Australian side felt a strong threat, and the media in Australia and even some Western countries once again began to hype up the Chinese threat theory, and many politicians publicly expressed their strong opposition to the takeover.
In response to this kind of remarks, Gu Changsong, as the chairman of Gu Chao Technology, on behalf of his son, on behalf of Gu Chao Technology, stood up and issued a public statement, that is, for this transaction, Gu Chao Technology is sincere, Gu Chao Technology will undoubtedly threaten Australia's national security, if Australia is in a political or other purpose to reject the sincerity of Gu Chao Technology, then Gu Chao Technology will make a prudent assessment of Australia's investment environment, and at the same time, Gu Chao Technology will not give up its determination to manufacture road trains, even if it is rejected, Gu Yu will choose to acquire similar manufacturers in China or other countries to manufacture road trains independently。
This statement caused quite a stir, but not only did the Australian side not loosen, but there was a voice to make Gu Chao Technology look good, a company dared to evaluate the investment environment of a sovereign country, it was really a bear's heart and leopard gall, I don't know how many pounds and taels I weigh, I must give them a hard lesson.
Gu Yu was noncommittal about these disputes, he was arranging another thing at this time, that is, to set up his own civil aviation company, he claimed to set up his own civil aviation company, but he didn't just say it, since he said it, then he had to act. He sent a number of negotiation teams to the imperial capital, Zishan City, Binhai City and other places to communicate with the local government, and once the project can be approved, a civil aviation company can be established.
Zishan City, Binhai City, etc. have given a clear answer, as long as the national level does not oppose and can approve, then they have no problem here, whether it is Gu Yu asking for land or policies, they can give enough support.
On the one hand, the National Development and Reform Commission, which is responsible for the approval of the establishment of civil aviation companies and airports, has sunk into the sea and has not heard from it for a long time.
Gu Yu personally called the Imperial Capital Municipal Government, he still knew some people in the Imperial City, and the mayor and deputy mayor had to give him three points of thin noodles, after receiving Gu Yu's call, they could only explain to Gu Yu with a wry smile. Gu Yu wants to set up an airline and build an airport, which is not a bad thing, but for the imperial capital, it is not a good thing, it is very simple, the imperial capital is the political and cultural center of China, there are also the top airports in the country, the annual cargo and passenger throughput are countless, and the railway department is the same, these two departments have fed I don't know how many people, if it causes Gu Yu to be a competitor, the impact of these two departments will be too great, the imperial capital municipal|The government must carefully study and assess what kind of wave it will attract once it is approved, and whether the imperial city can withstand the impact of such a wave.
The mayor of Didu also asked Gu Yu to be calm in this matter, don't worry, the National Development and Reform Commission is estimated to have similar concerns, there is no one for three or five years, it is impossible to give results, so Gu Yu must be psychologically prepared.
This result made Gu Yu somewhat dissatisfied, he applied to the Huaxia Railway Corporation to open a fork in the existing railway, no one intervened, all said that the market problem should be solved by the market, and now it is his turn, he is going to compete with the Huaxia Railway Corporation, civil aviation and other departments, this is good, one by one jumped out, scruples about this and that, no longer say that the market problem is solved by the market, the eccentricity is nothing more than this.
Complaining is complaining, and Gu Yu has no better way to do it, so he can only wait for news. Since the application for the establishment of an airline could not be approved for the time being, Gu Yu could only let the negotiation team continue to work public relations, and he refocused on the road train.
While keeping the negotiating team in Australia active, Gu Yu has made takeover bids for several major truck manufacturers in China, with a focus on private companies that do not have state-owned shares. State-owned car manufacturers, to acquire, too much trouble, too many variables, Gu Yu's offer is a meaning, not too much attention, but for those private enterprise background of truck manufacturers, he has made great efforts, the conditions are very attractive.
Gu Yu's move has caused a lot of controversy, after all, the acquisition pays attention to your love and my willingness, so no matter whether people are willing to sell or not, they come directly to the door and say that I want to buy your company, many people are not very happy in their hearts, and Gu Yu's acquisition conditions are all wholly-owned acquisitions, requiring to take away 100% of the equity, which is unacceptable to many people.
In the blink of an eye, it has been a month since he returned to China this time, what Gu Yu wants to do can be said to be nothing, the formation of a civil aviation company has been blocked, and the plan to acquire Australian or domestic truck manufacturers has made no progress, many people are looking at Gu Yu's jokes, the Huaxia Railway Corporation, which originally showed signs of concessions, has stepped up public relations, and the effect is remarkable, they have seen such results, and they no longer talk to Gu Yu on the phone, Gu Yu has no way to get more road trains, and naturally they can no longer pose more threats to them.
To add insult to injury, China's transportation authorities issued a ban on road trains with more than three trailers on the pretext of threatening the safety of roads, bridges and pedestrians. This is actually equivalent to completely blocking the possibility of Gu Yu using a road train to transport fresh water to the No. 2 Pharmacy Factory.
The ban spread, the whole country was in an uproar, no one thought that such a thing would happen, the pertinence of the ban is too obvious, and it is very in line with the one-size-fits-all nature of the relevant domestic departments when formulating policies.
Huaxia Railway Corporation was very happy, and said that if Gu Yu wanted to borrow their railway to transport fresh water, he could, and the price would rise, not by a small amount, but by three percent. This is their bottom line, non-negotiable and non-changeable.
Gu Yu was completely angered by this ban and the statement of the Huaxia Railway Corporation, what he wanted to do, not only he had an advantage, but other people or departments could also get considerable benefits, but these people were just not satisfied, and they had to make him give in. In that case, don't blame him for being polite.
Gu Yu originally planned to announce the cessation of the construction of the second pharmaceutical factory, but since some people didn't want him to build it, he simply stopped building it and moved directly abroad, whether it was Saudi Arabia or PakistanIt is estimated that Xiguo, Agenting and other countries will welcome him to build the second pharmacy factory in their country. But after thinking about it, Gu Yu dispelled this idea again, if he stopped building, it would be tantamount to making people see his jokes, his reputation would definitely plummet, and I don't know how many people would look down on him.
For Gu Yu, who regards earning reputation as his first priority, this is absolutely unacceptable. If someone wants him to make it impossible for him to do it, then he has to do it.
Gu Yu directly ordered to return to Ba||At the same time, he also ordered Gu Chaofei to continue to produce dozens of cargo spaceships, which will be able to form a full 100 cargo spaceships in the future, which will draw water from the estuaries of China's major rivers every day and transport it to the Second Pharmaceutical Factory.
At the same time, Gu Yu asked Gu Chao to fly and develop a passenger spaceship, since it can't be used by outsiders, it's always okay to use it yourself, right? If you want to say that I am running illegally, I simply don't charge a penny for the ticket, and use it completely for free.
After Gu Yu's order was issued, twenty cargo spaceships set off urgently, and arrived in Huaxia the next day to begin the task of transporting fresh water.
The people of Huaxia slowly became numb from the surprise of seeing the cargo spaceship at the beginning, they were all accustomed to it, and no longer felt that there was any need to see it, but occasionally raised their heads and saw this big guy flying at high altitude, they still couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
Gu Yu had been worried that it would be uneconomical for a cargo spacecraft to transport fresh water using a miniature anti-gravity engine as its main power source, but he soon discovered that his worries were unfounded. Perhaps his worries are not wrong in terms of the value of the goods being delivered, but from the perspective of gaining prestige, those are two different things, and the public's admiration for the cargo ship will not decrease because the cargo ship is transporting fresh water, nor will it increase because the cargo ship is transporting other high-value cargo.
The reputation he gained from the cargo ship was enough to meet his consumption on the cargo ship, and there was no small amount of wealth, in other words, the gain was greater than the expenditure, and from the perspective of reputation alone, he was not making a loss-making deal.
