Chapter 1078: The Cruel Truth?
"I know you are Chinese, you Chinese are very proud of your high-speed rail construction, but this is the United States, the situation is completely different from you, we have done research before, in fact, with the current economic development of the United States, we do not need to build new high-speed railways, with our current air passenger transport, and automobile industry, and highway network, these have fully met the current travel needs of Americans, the construction of high-speed rail, is completely a waste, there is no need at all." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
David. What Hearst said was categorical, Jin Muchen was even more curious at this time, did you say it in more detail?
"You know that there are basically not many industrial enterprises left in the United States at present, and there are only some large industrial enterprises, that is, the automobile industry, and the aircraft industry, which can be said to be the foundation of the current American industrial enterprises. For an automobile company like General Motors, it can support 500,000 employees, and it can radiate downwards, and the derived enterprises can support more than 3 million employees. As for Boeing, not to mention, this is a giant company all over the world, and there are countless people he can support, if it is really built in the United States, it will inevitably have an impact on these two traditional industries, although the construction of high-speed rail can solve the employment problem of some people, but it will also cause unemployment for some people, and only in terms of government approval, it will be sniped by those automobile manufacturing companies and aircraft manufacturing companies. ”
David is telling the truth, it is true that if the high-speed rail is built, it will indeed have too much impact on traditional industries such as automobile manufacturing and aviation manufacturing in the United States, and as long as it is said to be built here, those automobile companies and airlines over there may have already begun to lobby those places or congressmen to let them come forward to oppose the construction of high-speed rail.
So Jin Muchen felt David. Hearst has a point.
"And it's not just these cars and airlines, but also the energy giants, who also don't want this high-speed rail to be built in the United States, like the oil companies, Mobil or Shell, do you think they want the United States to build high-speed rail? Once the United States really builds high-speed rail and achieves very good results in a certain place, more and more people choose high-speed rail when traveling, it will seriously affect the interests of these giants, so those oil companies must be very reluctant to see this high-speed rail built in the United States, even if it is a mile, they don't want to see it. So if you want to build high-speed rail in the United States, it's more of a gimmick, although there are also many people who want high-speed rail to be built, but I'm not optimistic about them, because there are too many people on their opposite side, and the inherent conservative forces in the United States are also very strong. The United States does not master the technology of high-speed rail now, and now the world's most advanced high-speed rail technology is in the hands of the Chinese, if the United States really builds high-speed rail, it will definitely introduce the world's most advanced technology, do you think those people will agree, such technology is provided by the Chinese? Whether from the perspective of national security or from the perspective of national pride, I think this is unlikely... ”
I have to say David. Hearst was very calm and told the truth, and these words made Jin Muchen have a feeling of being shut down, it is true that Americans are not willing to build high-speed rail at all, and even say that they cannot build high-speed rail at all, because here, there are too many things and rules and regulations.
The reason why we build high-speed rail in China is entirely because our land area is too large, and there are too many people who need to travel every year, so the construction of high-speed rail is inevitable, but in the United States, they only have more than 300 million people in the country, and there is no Spring Festival demand like China, so they really don't need to build high-speed rail.
"That's the main reason why I didn't agree with Thomas's plan, and Thomas was of course very disappointed when he got a negative answer from me, but he was calm at the time and didn't say much, and if he wanted to get rid of me because of this matter, I don't think it's likely."
David. Hearst thought about it, and felt that he had recently moved more aggressively within the group because of this incident, and he may have angered Thomas because of this incident. Hirst, but he doesn't feel Thomas. Hearst would have killed himself for vetoing him.
But then Kate and Jesse chose to interject: "Actually, Mr. Hearst, we think you're still too optimistic, just two nights ago, we had an incident at a mountain lodge in New Jersey... ”
Kate and Jesse sang and told David what they had happened in New Jersey the other night. Hearst spoke up, and David. The more Hearst listened, the more gloomy his face became.
Because not long after he rejected Thomas's proposal, Helen suddenly and inexplicably continued, at first, he thought it was just an ordinary kidnapping case, and he had found a lot of professionals at the time, and he didn't plan to call the police.
Because he knows that once the police are involved, the result of Helen's rescue is almost zero, in fact, every big American family like them has had the experience of a family member being kidnapped, so they can be said to be quite experienced in dealing with such things.
He even contacted a team that specialized in helping those big families deal with this matter, intending to help him deal with the case, but he didn't expect to wait and wait, how did he not wait for the kidnapper's call, and at that time he realized that something was wrong, so he found the police, fortunately, he also helped the first brother of the New York Police Department back then, so the first brother of the police introduced him to Kate, and then he entrusted Kate to start investigating Helen's disappearance.
In fact, at the beginning, he had already prepared for the worst, thinking that Helen was dead, but later Kate sent him a lot of good news, saying that Helen had been kidnapped and was going to be sold to Japan, which made him feel a lot more relieved.
He didn't care what Helen had been through, the most important thing in his opinion was that Helen was still alive.
But how did he think that Helen's matter had not been dealt with, and he was in trouble with the operation of the group, and several investment plans he had made before had a series of accidents, which made the board of directors of the group and the elders within the family question his leadership ability.
So during that time, he could only focus on putting out the fire as soon as possible, but before the fire was extinguished, he received the good news that Helen had been found in Japan, and he hurriedly sent a private jet to take Helen home.
I thought I would be able to see my daughter the next morning, but I didn't expect that in the middle of the night, I received a phone call telling him that the private plane he sent had an accident and had crashed into the sea.
At that time, his mind was blank, and his only thought was to quickly contact the contact to search for his daughter in the waters of Japan, but unfortunately the weather here in New York was not very good one day, and it was wind and rain.
The phone couldn't get through, and even the landline couldn't get through because the line was hung up by the high wind, so he had to take a car from home to a friend of his military to get help from him.
But who thought that there was an accident on the way, not long after the car drove out of his house, his car encountered a sudden attack, first the driver was killed, and then then a large truck was knocked over into the farmland on the side of the road.
After the events of one day, he hid as the helmsman of the family who was in charge of tens of billions of assets, David. Hearst can be said to be well-informed, what kind of ugly things have not been seen.
Moreover, he has not seen many internal strife between major families in the United States, and he has heard that for the sake of the general huge family property, many people in the family who call each other brothers can kill each other.
But at that time David. Hirst didn't think about it that much, he thought that it was a foreign force that assassinated him, after all, he had been running the media industry for so many years, in order to be unconventional and eye-catching, but he didn't make news.
Because of this, he has a lot of enemies in the United States, some of whom are politicians who have been ruined by him, and some of whom have been imprisoned because of him, and some of whom have been ruined and worthless by him.
He didn't remember how many of these people there were, and no matter which one of them they were, they would have been eager to eat his flesh, drink his blood, and cramp and skin him to relieve the hatred in his heart.
So at the beginning, he always suspected that his external enemies came to him to seek revenge, so in order not to involve more family members, so he hid at sea, and he has been hiding here for about two or three weeks.
And during this time, he has actually been looking for who is making trouble behind his back, wanting to get rid of himself, and has thought about many of his own family members, but in the end he ruled them out one by one.
Now Kate and Jesse told him the scene they had met in the New Jersey mountain cottage two days ago, and suddenly this David. Hearst was cold.
Although he seems to be a cold person on the surface, but in fact, in his bones, he is a person who pays a lot of attention to family affection, and he has always been reluctant to believe that it is his own family who wants to harm him, but now it seems that he has no choice, it is really possible that he is his brother...
If it's really Thomas, then this truth is too cruel, after all, the two of them grew up together! How could he bear to kill himself! (To be continued.) )
