The train is moving forward quickly, the speed is getting faster and faster, because it is specially adjusted, and even this train is specially designed to pick up Mihai, and the guests on the train are from Zhangjiakou to Baotou, so that the distance of three or four hundred kilometers, if you run at full speed, it will not take more than 4 hours, and the other passengers can be said to enjoy this benefit, which can save at least 2 hours or so than before.

With the expansion of Baotou's influence, more and more people realize the power of time, the faster the time, the faster the product can be for consumers, of course, the more money can be made, from the highway to the railway, all the same.

After getting on the train, Mihai looked out the window, not knowing what he was silently calculating, he didn't speak, Yang Yuanzhao didn't say much, he was waiting for Mihai all the time, Mihai finally stopped being silent, and asked with some curiosity: "President Yang, in my opinion, this railway is already very good, I don't know what to let me do!" ”

Yang Yuanzhao's face was slightly red, but he didn't expect that he was a little misunderstood, such a speed is only a theoretical speed, not the real speed of Baotou, he thought for a while, and said straight to the point: "Mr. Mihai, this should be blamed on me, although I have prepared a strong enough rail for the railway, and also prepared a high-speed heavy locomotive, but in the railway scheduling, we have no experience, and I will not tell you that the current speed is the speed of a train!" ”

Mihai raised his head, looked at Yang Yuanzhao, and then smiled. said: "I guess it's the same situation, but I didn't expect it to be a column." It seems that you invited me to come. The first thing is to solve this scheduling problem, rather than building the railway as a whole! ”

"That's right, this problem can be left to you, and the matter of building the railway can wait a little, because there are replacements in Baotou, but the scheduling is different, if there is any problem, or if I need to do something. You can go straight to me! ”

Yang Yuanzhao is not suspicious of employing people, and suspects are not needed, in a sense, if Mihai can't solve the problem, in this world, there is no one who can solve this, but the price to be paid will not be as small as it is now, really, in his opinion. was able to find a senior vice president like Mihai in a short period of time, and it only took less than 1 million to recruit a mature team. It's like pie in the sky, and that's the fundamental reason why he attaches great importance to it.

Mihai smiled and said: "I am also familiar with this business, what is the problem. Just ask! ”

Yang Yuanzhao nodded and took out a text. Yang Yuanzhao didn't understand the railway, but after getting Mihai to come to China. He specially found Zhan Tianyou to do a homework, and formed a complete report, in Baotou, there are all kinds of translators, Yang Yuanzhao himself knows a lot, and after forming a system, put it here in Yang Yuanzhao, and he handed over this text to Mihai to see.

Mihai looked very seriously, at the beginning, mainly look at the hardware facilities, more than 42 kilograms per meter of heavy rail, in addition to the weight of the monk, there are detailed wear-resistant, bending and stretching and a series of metal watches, from the surface of the figures, the most important wear resistance and bearing capacity of the rail are extremely good, even the well-informed Mihai, will sincerely admire, this rail, is definitely the world's top level, he stopped in this place, specifically asked Yang Yuanzhao: "President Yang, where is this rail produced, How much can we get each year! ”

"This is our Baotou product!"

"Baotou?" Mihai was slightly surprised and said: "As far as I know, China is not just a small steel plant with an annual output of tens of thousands of tons!" ”

Railways are the first beast to swallow iron, not only the rails, all kinds of tunnels and bridges, and even the train itself, will consume a lot of steel, because of the different ways of use, the quality is not the same, but in general, the level is quite high, until 1910, China has not produced a precedent for qualified rails, no wonder Mihai was surprised.

Of course, Yang Yuanzhao knows that what Mihai mentioned is the Hanyang Iron Works, the Hanyang Iron Works is the first in China and the first-class in Asia, but compared with the United States, a big steel country, it is really not in the stream, the establishment and operation of the Baiyun Obo Iron and Steel Plant is almost all carried out in secret, and the products produced are not sold abroad, all of them are digested in the northwest, not to mention Mihai in the United States, even if it is close to Hebei Zhili, it is not clear at all, he said: "Mr. Mihai, since you have joined the Baotou Railway CompanyWe started to build a steel mill the year before last, and invited Williams to help design it, and this rail is one of the most important products! ”

"Williams Room, National Steel Williams?" Mihai said with a little surprise, as a railway company, the vice president in charge of scheduling, for steel, Mihai is no stranger to steel, there are a lot of Williams in the United States, in the steel industry, and the establishment of the Williams real yàn room, there is only one Williams, he is in the American steel industry, he can definitely be called the big one among the big ones, the top of the top students, the design by him, it should not be simple, perhaps, this is also an attempt by him to achieve his goal, nodded, and continued to ask:" So the yield? ”

"3.5 million tons per year?" Yang Yuanzhao said proudly.

"3.5 million tons!" Mihai seemed to be blinded all of a sudden, he was a little uncertain and repeated it again, when he got a positive answer from Yang Yuanzhao, he was completely not calm, and asked uncertainly: "Could it be that all the production capacity of the steel plant is used to produce rails?" ”

This sentence is very silly to ask, Mihai couldn't help but laugh after asking, it is impossible for any steel mill to do this, under the condition of a single product, it is easy to be affected by various situations, once it fluctuates, the steel plant will be finished, the conversion of some things is very troublesome, a steel mill with a huge investment, at least tens of millions of dollars, is still built under the manipulation of Williams, it will definitely not be so simple.

Yang Yuanzhao said: "The design output of our steel plant is 10.8 million tons per year, but it has not reached the full load at present, and it is about 7 million tons that can be guaranteed, and the rail is an important commodity, so the output accounts for about half of the entire production capacity." ”

7 million, Mihai was slightly speechless, it seems that the whole world has been hidden by this young man in front of him, the steel plant with a design capacity of more than 10 million tons has even achieved an annual production capacity of 7 million tons, such a huge steel plant, in the world, no one knows that in the interior of China, there is such a huge heavy industry, where is the use of what he produces?

Not to mention the standard production capacity of 10.8 million tons, even if it is a production capacity of 7 million tons, it is one of the largest steel groups in the world.

Yang Yuanzhao didn't have time to answer, the train passed through a city closest to Zhangjiakou, not a very lively place, but because there is a small coal mine, there are many coal resources around Baotou, but here is just on the railway from Baotou to Zhangjiakou, the northwest is here to build a new city, the train is just close to this new city passing, because almost all of it is a new city, here, there will be a huge mineral collection base and a preliminary smelting base, all of which are new buildings. Numerous buildings over 5 floors have risen here.

Just seeing this huge new city, Mihai was also a little silent, he somewhat understood, this powerful steel plant, most of its production capacity, where is it used, is here, the building is the fastest place to consume steel, obviously, in the hinterland of China, this young man seems to have established an independent kingdom, under the construction of a large number of buildings, not to mention 3.5 million tons of steel per year, even if it is more, it is completely used up, this is a city, according to the introduction of the railway, from Baotou to Zhangjiakou, there are hundreds of kilometers, take 50 kilometers of a city, and the steel rails consumed are also astronomical.

I have to say that Mihai is right, but there are not many new cities, and most of the steel has been invested in the construction of Baotou itself and the surrounding first city circle, which is the foundation and support of the entire heavy industry base in the future.

Mihai simply identified this number, carefully calculated, and understood that after 42 kilograms of steel rails per meter, almost, the annual production of rails in Baotou, about 80,000 kilometers, turned down, is close to 40,000 kilometers of rail laying, in fact, the application of the surface, may be less than 40,000 kilometers, after all, wear and tear and some construction losses, and the use of some stations and marshalling stations, this number has exceeded the actual use of Baotou, unless Baotou is willing to build a larger railway every year.

With enough railways, the prototype of a large railway company came into being, Mihai continued to look at the report, in addition to the tracks, the locomotive is also a focus of his attention, field tests, especially he personally tried the following locomotive, in a sense, this locomotive is good enough, excellent to the point that he can't help but admire, more than 120 kilometers per hour, this speed even in the United States, is only a few high-speed railways, some branch railways, Just some light ones.

That is to say, Baotou now has a large number of rails and locomotives for the construction of a large railway company, because the locomotive is also built by Baotou itself in the following description, which ensures that the two most important aspects of the railway are guaranteed, and then it is where he plays a role.

After reading the whole article and closing the above, Mihai didn't say much, just said calmly: "I will go to Baotou, come and see in person, and then finish this work." (To be continued......) R1292
