Zhan Tianyou said that someone could solve it, Yang Yuanzhao grabbed Zhan Tianyou's hand and said with a little incoherence: "Who can solve it, don't worry, I will invite him here at any cost!" ”

Zhan Tianyou sighed and said: "In the world, the most developed and most efficient railway in trial operation is the American railway, if you want to find suitable dispatching and management talents, you must find them from the United States, but ordinary railway personnel are not good, you must do a considerable level, such as a large railway company, the vice president in charge of railway scheduling, or the chief engineer and the like." ”

Zhan Tianyou, who studied railways in the United States, and even worked in the Daxing Railway Company in the United States, knows very well what such a person in such a position represents, that is almost a person in the field of railways, who leans on one side, and small, local railway companies do not have this ability at all, and those who can really play a role are two or three super-large-scale railway companies, which means that the current candidates will not exceed two hands, even if they add the predecessors, there will not be more than 20, among these people, Finding one to come to China, after all, it is necessary to control it on the ground to be able to solve it perfectly, and the remote command and setting up plan cannot solve this problem at all, basically, it is impossible.

The reason why Zhan Tianyou hesitated is also because of this, although he can propose a solution to the problem, this method is almost a fantasy method, Baotou has recruited a lot of foreign engineers and researchers, but the real elite, except for Truss, there are few, in terms of identity and status, Daxing Railway Group, the chief engineer and the vice president of management scheduling, is definitely in the upper class circle in the United States, that is in the United States, in terms of social status, it may not be lower than the consul in China, such a person, How could he accept Baotou's invitation to come and help Baotou improve the matter of railway scheduling.

Yang Yuanzhao's eyes lit up, he didn't think about the problem as much as Zhan Tianyou, perhaps, he didn't really integrate into this space, in his opinion, the great powers are just developed countries, a key point of capitalism, is the money society, money can almost solve a qiē problem, he patted Zhan Tianyou on the shoulder, and said: "Very good, about the railway scheduling, leave it to me, I will let people contact the United States, you next, is to temporarily take over the railway, we must make the railway move, On the basis of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway and the Zhengtai Line, it should be possible to run the railway in a loose section. ”

Zhan Tianyou opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it, he wanted to tell Yang Yuanzhao that it was not easy to invite such a high-level railway company, but in the end, he shut up, Yang Yuanzhao proved his strength with countless magic, besides, he is also a foreign student, although he studied in the UK, he may not know such a difficulty, maybe he has a certain channel.

"I can do it!" Zhan Tianyou said that with a high-speed locomotive, it would be good to reduce the speed, he may not be able to guarantee 120 kilometers, but the average speed of 80 kilometers per hour is OK, high-speed railway, in a certain time, can recover a certain amount of time, which is enough for Baotou, at least the increase is greater than the Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway, can be quite long, play the transportation capacity of Baotou's new 4500 kilometers heavy rail railway.

Yang Yuanzhao left from Taiyuan, he left Zhan Tianyou 10 days to adjust, these ten days, including the subsequent modification of the locomotive, the 4 trains that were transported in advance, including 12 locomotives, all the parts and drawings are also placed here, they need to replace them, next, a larger batch of trains will arrive, in the next 15 days, 200 locomotives will be in place, although a little less, but the opportunity to continue to make zuò, the future Baotou railway, It will have about 2,000 carriages, including 300 locomotives, and has a strong passenger and freight capacity.

It is expected that after 10 days, the breakthrough of the Baotou Railway, will be in Baotou, make a ceremony, first of all, tell everyone, the Baotou Railway is through, Baotou people travel, it is no longer a problem, in this case, for Baotou, is a great benefit, the transportation capacity of the railway, including convenience and speed, in a large distance dù, is higher than the carriage, not to mention, this is still a high-speed railway.

Divert to Taiyuan, Baotou's radio, just cover a radius of hundreds of kilometers around Baotou, that is, the highway and high-speed railway cover a little farther, and the outside world, or need wired telegraph, Taiyuan wired telegraph, can be directly connected with Tianjin and Shanghai wired telegraph, and many large overseas telegraph lines, at most pay attention to it, with the help of password to contact it.

At this time, Harpy was not in the country, he received an order from Yang Yuanzhao to go to Nanyang, since 1908, Yang Yuanzhao has been in Nanyang layout, 2 years, in Nanyang to buy a large number of land and plantations, one after another more than 300,000 immigrants, of course, is hidden from the colonial authorities and Britain and France and other powers, are some less important places, the name is of course the most popular rubber plantation in this era, from last year, Harpy under the order of Yang Yuanzhao, The construction and distribution of rubber plantations have been increased, with the help of later methods, with hundreds of thousands of accounts and identity information, to conceal the existence of German and American enterprises, and now, among the entire London rubber shares, nearly 5 percent are rubber plantations and rubber companies in Nanyang, and German and American direct and indirect control zhì, accounting for more than 30% of the total number, every small action of German and American countries, integrated, will have a huge impact on rubber.

Because of this, every spring, the day of large-scale transplanting and planting of rubber plantations, Harpy will come to Southeast Asia, as a German, a German who has been knighted by the Kaiser, Harpy has considerable privileges in the South Seas, even more so than in China.

Surabaya, when Harpy received the telegram, smiled slightly, and then directly telegraphed the German-American branch, the current German-American, different from 2 years ago, just born German-American, German-American companies in the United States is already a very deep foundation, all kinds of branches, all over the major cities in the United States is no longer the original small, just relying on import and export trade and investment of foreign banks, participated in a lot of American factories, because of sulfonamides and famous, and many American political families, consortiums have considerable contacts.

At present, sulfonamide can be said to be the gold in the medicine, although not every grain is more expensive than gold, in the United States is definitely in short supply, in the United States, many diseases, in the irretrievable and no way, will use sulfonamide, sulfonamide will have such and such side effects, for all kinds of bacterial infections and inflammation, etc., have considerable effects, especially the US military began to join the procurement of sulfonamide team, sulfonamide has become one of the fixed procurement of the US military, it is very amazing.

In just 1909, from the emergence of sulfonamides to strong sales, the current sales in the United States are about 30 million pieces per year, the price of each piece is 5 US dollars, which is 150 million US dollars, which is also the fundamental reason why the United States and Germany have opened sky-high prices for heavy-haul trains, Yang Yuanzhao still accepts it smoothly.

The importance of the railway, Harpy is very clear, the industrial scale of Baotou has been seen, and some of them know that a reasonable railway commander can benefit, such a company executive, in the eyes of Zhan Tianyou, is the darling of the upper class, is the object of calling for wind and rain, but in the eyes of real consortia and capitalists, they are just professional managers, if they can't own a certain number of company shares, to be precise, they can be freely traded, occupy a certain seat in the company's shares, not that kind of dividends, Shares with certain dividend rights, these people are objects that can be sacrificed at any time.

The relationship network of German and American foreign banks was completely rolled out, and they continued to search in the railway industry, and soon found a suitable candidate.

Mikhail Prokhorov, 56 years old, a Russian-American, deputy general manager of the United Pacific Railroad, railway operation expert, personally involved in the scheduling and management of the entire Pacific Railroad, has rich experience, has worked in the Pacific Railroad for 32 years, the reason why he chose this is because, because he recently caused huge losses to the company due to personal mistakes, not only lost his job, but also was held accountable by the company.

Of course, this is the superficial reason, the real reason is that he has a huge contradiction with the general manager Jobe Akbas in some opinions, Jobe is not a professional manager like Mihai, he is the son-in-law of the Stanford family, and he owns 5 company shares, and can even affect 30 or even 40 shares, such a powerful person, if he wants to find a deputy general manager, even if he doesn't have to do it himself, someone is willing to do it for him, and Mihai has become a victim.

The strength of Germany and the United States, which can know these details, opened the way with sulfonamides, and after making concessions in some places, especially after mentioning that Mihai would not continue to work in the United States, and giving up almost $10 million in sulfonamide shares, Jobe finally decided to let Mihai go.

Solved this Mihai is currently the biggest problem, and offered him a good salary, Mihai is still relatively difficult on his side, for the work in China has some complaints, he is an engineer who has been working on the railway all his life, basically, everything he knows, are placed on the railway, where in China, how can there be a railway, he went, and what can he do.

The annual salary of 500,000 US dollars still became the last straw that broke the camel's back, for him who lost his job, pension, and even family sources, he simply couldn't find a job with such a salary elsewhere, plus the number of years of work was only signed for three years, at the age of 56, after offending the Stanford family, there was no other way, and after the two were combined, Mihai finally decided to take the job and go to China.
