"How are you going to plan your two railways, Qin?"

It was none other than Rachel who asked the question. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Of course, she didn't go to New York, but Qin Lang had already returned to San Diego - after a week in New York, and after another week of train travel, he finally ended his long trip to the East and returned.

But he had just returned, and before he could rest or go to the lab to see Elizabeth, Rachel had already burst into his office.

Then she asked bluntly, "How are you going to plan your two railways, Qin?" ”

Qin Lang felt that her question was very strange. "Planning? I don't understand what you mean, Rachel, what does it take to scam the railroad to scam stockholders...... Planning? ”

"Of course." She said, of course, "Otherwise, how are you going to lure investors to buy shares in railroad companies?" Is it just a matter of drawing a few random lines on the map? ”

"Why not?" He shrugged.

Draw a few lines on the map at random, this is Qin Lang's plan, simple, direct, but very economical and absolutely effective - whether in the United States, Britain or France, whether it is government officials, scholars or ordinary people, who really knows China's natural environment, geographical conditions and urban distribution? They don't know, they don't care, and more importantly, why plan them so badly, since the main purpose of the whole railway project is fraud?

"And you should understand," he continued, "that even if the railroad company's published plans for the construction of the railroad show that the lines of the two railroads overlap almost exactly, in the eyes of the public and critics, it is understandable that it is only a repetition of construction in the interests of the United States and Great Britain, and it will in no way affect their sentiment to buy stocks." ”

"You're so optimistic."

"Because there's no need to worry about anything."

Rachel shook her head, still unable to fully believe it, unable to fully relax, until Qin Lang began to tell a joke, a joke that, according to him, was "a real event that had ever happened", although she felt that it was most likely just a story he had made up.

Because it's so exaggerated, it can't be true at all, from the beginning.

He said: "In China, there was a very serious public declaration that 100,000 miles of railways would be built in 10 years, and this plan was included in one of his books.

"Wait, Qin." She interrupted him, "Who would come up with such a crazy construction plan?" Building 100,000 miles of railroad in 10 years is a plan that will never be possible even in the United States. Even if nothing else, how is he going to solve the problem of financing the construction of the railway? ”

"So, you can see that this plan is not going to succeed."

"Of course." Rachel glared at him, feigning an annoyed look of "do you think I'm stupid?"

Qin Lang began to laugh and stopped after a while. "But it's true." He made an apologetic gesture - it was true, in another history, it would happen. "There is indeed a plan that has been proposed. You know how he does it? There was no exploration, no planning, just a line on the map to connect a city in China, and then the result was the world's largest railway network. ”

"God!" Unable to think of anything else, she had to say so.

"Of course, this plan has never been implemented, and I don't think it will be possible to reach 100,000 miles of railways in China even in another century. The investment is huge, the project is complex, and it is difficult to achieve. He habitually shrugged his shoulders, then went to the cupboard and poured himself a Coke, added ice cubes, and began to shake the cup gently—but not drink it, just shake it gently.

He's thinking about something, and so is Rachel. There was a problem that she could never figure out. "What do you mean by this joke?"

"Just a joke." He replied.

"Just a joke?" She asked suspiciously.

"Of course, I'm also thinking that if the consortium has the power to build railways all over China, they will be able to squeeze every penny out of the pockets of shareholders, whether it's American or European." Qin Lang paused, seemed to think for a few seconds, and then said: "You know, it's very simple, you don't need to think of anything, you just need to connect every city in China with a line on the map. ”

"You're thinking too much." Rachel frowned. His idea is clearly too dangerous, and if anyone does do that, he will use the whole of China as a bait to attract ordinary people to invest...... Perhaps, in the end, the world economy will be on the verge of collapse, and there is an existing social and moral system, normal people cannot cause such a result, but a financial alliance composed of many consortia can, and Qin Lang ......

She blinked, feeling that she was also thinking too much, not because of other problems, but because the Big Viper Company was also a member of the consortium alliance, although it was only a small role, it was also a vested interest, in that case, why should she worry about ordinary people and social responsibility?

They weren't at all something she should be thinking about.

"You're getting weak, Rachel. Mcbride. She warned herself, took a deep breath, got back to normal, and asked, "So, how much revenue did you bring back to the company this time?" ”

Qin Lang slowly turned his head and pretended to be surprised, "I thought you knew, Rachel." ”

"It's not funny at all, Qin." She said annoyedly. Sometimes that's how it was, he knew exactly what she was asking, but he always used something else to perfunctory, and this time it was the same.

She wanted to know the company's share of the railroad plan, but he prevaricated with a mercenary contract with the federal government. Of course, she does know the content of the contract, Washington will pay Umbrella 350,000 dollars a week, 40 percent is the mercenary's weekly salary, and 60 percent of the company's income, but at the same time, the federal government will no longer pay for the mercenaries' various logistics materials, only provide free transportation services, so the company's actual profit will not be very high.

But what does it matter? If at first she didn't understand it, but now it's clear that 7,000 heavily armed mercenaries were just pilots cruising in front of a group of deep-sea behemoths called the Consortium, and that the railroad project was the real business - now she wondered how much the company could gain from it?

"You know what I'm asking." Rachel banged on the table.

"Ten percent." Qin Lang said, carelessly, still shaking the cup.

"What?"

"We get a 10 percent cut of the plan." He placed the cup on the table, walked over to her, and paused, "What do you think?" ”

"You're kidding." That's what she thinks. Ten percent is too much, and although it was the result she dreamed of, how could the leaders of the consortium give up so much profit?

But that's what they did.

"Now I'm as serious as I've ever been, Rachel. Ten percent, this time we can take as much as other consortia. ”

"How so?" Rachel couldn't believe everything she heard. Take as much as any other consortium? Why?

"In our miserable world, there will always be something unexpected." Qin Lang replied. But in reality, this was only a small gift from the leaders of the consortium for the next collaboration - after he proposed two plans in a row, they were all looking forward to a third time, so it was undoubtedly a very wise move to give up a portion of the benefits appropriately - and it was all in the pockets of the American, British, and French people anyway.

Moreover, this can also reflect a kind of "fairness" principle: a total of eight consortia participate in the plan, plus the big viper company, each company can get exactly 10%, absolutely fair and reasonable.

Qin Lang didn't have any problems with his math. Yes, nine companies, each of which gets 10 percent, adds up to only 90 percent, not 100 percent -- but everybody knows who the remaining 10 percent will belong to, not any one of the participants, it's government officials.

After all, such a large-scale fraud case, in addition to some unlucky people responsible for the black pot, also requires government departments to make up for omissions, clear the consortium, and appease the angry people.

That's always the case.

"Excellent." Not knowing whether she should be happy or frustrated—it is a pity that she was only a bystander in the largest fraud scheme of the end of the century—Rachel had to ask, "So, which consortiums are involved in the scheme?" ”

"Morgan, Rockefeller, Harriman, Cleveland, First Chicago, but also HSBC in the UK, Rothschild and Credit Lyonnais."

HSBC, Rothschild and Credit Lyon joined the plan on the last day before he left New York, and the necessary results: HSBC and Rothschild could influence the British government so that London would not obstruct Washington's demands to the Guangxu Emperor; Crédit Lyonnais removes all barriers to issuing shares in France.

Perfectly arranged, and with a bonus. HSBC and Rothschild were lobbying the British government to transfer London to the railway from Beijing to Kowloon once it had been granted the right to build it.

Qin Lang believed that they would definitely succeed, and in this way, there were two railways as props for the fraudulent operation, so he ......

"Bump!" The office door was suddenly slammed open, and Elizabeth rushed in like a rhinoceros, her cousin who didn't care at all was next to her, followed by Qin Lang's secretary, shouting excitedly: "Qin, where is your chemical engineering manual?" ”

A Handbook of Chemical Engineering? He hasn't started writing about it yet, he simply doesn't have time. "Elizabeth, I've been busy with other things lately......" he tried to explain, but to no avail.

"Then get it done." The female chemist, who had fallen into a frenzy, grabbed the collar of the "father of chemical engineering" and shook it vigorously, "Finish it quickly, start writing now, Qin, I can't wait." ”

Rachel laughed out loud. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
