Chapter 402: The Most Likely Path

Hearing Tang Feng say this, Andrew, Chris and Benjamin were all interested, although this matter was led by the Mellon family, but both the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family agreed to participate, that is to say, now the three old families in the United States have temporarily formed a united front because of the Mutong iron ore incident.

As the rising stars of the three major families, Andrew and the three of them certainly hope that this matter can be successfully operated, as long as this matter can be successfully operated, then it will have a very strong role in consolidating the status of the three old families in the United States. The most important thing is that through the operation of this project, the three families can successfully connect with Huaxia and cooperate with Huaxia.

Now people in any country in the world know that as long as you cooperate with Huaxia, then you have an almost inexhaustible supermarket, even in the United States.

Don't look at the fact that the United States is clamoring for a blockade of China all day long, and instigating a group of younger brothers to find fault in the South China Sea from time to time, in fact, that is a manifestation of the lack of confidence of the United States. The rise of China is already unstoppable, and even the United States cannot stop the rise of China.

The US Government may still do some dirty things against China in some respects out of national security considerations, but those big entrepreneurs, big families, and big tycoons in the United States are not stupid, and seizing the Chinese market is equivalent to seizing a long-term valid meal ticket, and no one will be willing to give up the opportunity to cooperate with China.

The same is true of the three major families in the United States.

However, because the status of the three families in the United States is too important, the three families can only start to tentatively contact China in some commercial projects, and the Mutong iron ore mine project is a test of the three families. If Huaxia can accept the goodwill from the three major families and actively seek cooperation, then the three families will not mind continuing to carry out more in-depth cooperation with Huaxia in the future. At the same time, he used his influence to slowly change the attitude of the US government.

Win-win cooperation is the mainstream of future development, and unnecessary confrontation can only be a lose-lose situation.

Although the three major families understand this truth, and the Mutong Iron Mine is definitely an excellent project to cater to the needs of Huaxia, the situation of this super iron mine is too complicated, even if the three major families join forces, there is a feeling that the dog bites the hedgehog and has no way to eat.

In fact. The words that Tang Feng said just now were also the most troublesome things for the three major families. And now Tang Feng suddenly said that there might be a way to solve this matter, how could this not make Andrew and the three of them a little excited?

In fact, this project is also a test for the three of them by the three major families, and of course the three of them want to complete this test beautifully.

Tang Feng looked around, frowned and said, "It's a bit messy here, let's find a secluded place to discuss it, Benjamin, you talk to Mr. Bush." Let's just say we're going to borrow a quiet room and discuss something. Chris, you'd better find a more detailed map of South America, I'm useful. ”

Benjamin and Chris nodded and walked out, and in a short time, Benjamin walked over and led the big guy to a room next to the hall, and met Chris with a map on the way.

When the door was closed, the room was quieter. Tang Feng spread the map on the table, pointed to the map and said, "Do you know that the Huaxia government and the Argentine government reached an agreement on the rebuilding of the Belgrano Railway at the end of the year before last?" ”

Andrew nodded and said, "I know a little bit about this." Hehe, our family has a deep relationship with the Union Pacific Railroad, so I heard my family mention this some time ago. With a total length of more than 7,400 kilometres, the Belgrano freight railway was once an important logistics route for the 17 provinces of central Argentina and the export terminals in the east, but most sections have been abandoned due to lack of maintenance. The Argentine government decided to spend huge sums of money to reinvigorate the line, the year before. That is, in 2014, the railway builders of China and the Argentine government reached an agreement, and the railway builders of China began to enter Argentina in full force to repair the Belgrano railway for the Argentine government."

Speaking of this, Andrew seemed to remember something. He looked down at the map, gestured with his hand again, and then said in surprise: "Tang, you mean to find an outlet for the Mutong Railway from Argentina?" ”

"Hehe, why not? Argentina has good relations with Bolivia, and at the same time it has good relations with China, not to mention relations with the United States, and since this is the case, the political influence can be weakened to the point of almost none. Without political constraints, we can solve this problem with commercial practices. ”

"Well, you see, there is a railway from the Mutong mining area west to the city of Santa Cruz, and from Santa Cruz south to Yacueva on the Polish-Arab border. From Jacueva to Argentina, you can go south along the Belgrano Railway to Salta, an important city in northern Argentina, and from Salta you can go east to the port of Corenste, or south to Buenos Aires. Although the port of Corricity is not accessible to giant ships, the distance on the road is much shorter than to Buenos Aires; And in the same way, as long as you arrive in Buenos Aires, you can load the ship directly, whether it is a Panamax cargo ship or a Cape of Good Hope cargo ship, you can directly load the ship in Buenos Aires! ”

After a pause, Tang Feng continued: "Now the Belgrano railway in Argentina has entered the stage of comprehensive repair, and it will not be long before the capacity of the Belgrano railway will be directly increased from the current 25 million tons to 75 million tons. The key issue now is the more than 700-kilometre railway from Jacueva to the Mutong mining area in Bolivia via the city of Santa Cruz. The railways in Bolivia are narrow-gauge railways that are only one meter wide, and the capacity is extremely low, so the more than 700 kilometers of railways must also be renovated, but this investment is not small, and it is better to convert it into a double-track railway, so as to give full play to its capacity! So, if you want to transport iron ore from the Mutong mine, this is the most likely way! (To be continued......)
