Chapter 364: Railways and Mongolian Layout

When everyone came one after another, much faster than before, Mihai adjusted the railway, so that between Taiyuan and Baotou, there will be two direct express trains every day, and the direct express train is just stopping at Suiyuan, Datong and Taiyuan, in this way, the time is saved to the extreme, the average speed of 125 kilometers per hour, within a few hours to Taiyuan, faster than before a day's time, saving more than half, after the telegram report, these shareholders, it only took half a day to arrive, Yang Yuanzhao did not say anything, Direct order to a meeting.

Before the meeting, Liu Shu and other shareholders praised Mihai with Yang Yuanzhao, praising his great contributions, and some shareholders even proposed whether to reward Mihai with part of the share dividends of the Baotou Railway Company to reward Mihai for his great role.

For Liu Shu and other shareholders' thoughts, Yang Yuanzhao just smiled slightly, Mihai's shares are to be given, but not now, in this two months, Mihai's table is excellent, and it is also very important, but it is not important to this kind of process, Baotou has a special situation, now, most of the products put into production and the products that are produced in the real room and ready to be put into production can easily occupy the domestic market, and even some are exported to foreign countries, which requires huge capacity, and in the future, with the development of BaotouThis capacity, which is almost unlimited, the infinite growth of Baotou's industrial and mining industry, as well as the almost unlimited demand for raw materials, will make the capacity of Baotou Railway surge.

The United States also had such a stage back then, the construction of a large number of railways, and even some branch railways, is more than a dozen rails side by side, forming a huge capacity, the United States is a country, until now it is because of the stability of the industry and reduced the capacity, a large number of rails are dismantled, sold with scrap steel, but China only has such a city as Baotou, or an urban belt, 4500 kilometers of railways will of course be amazingly profitable, for other places, will produce good results, but just worthy of his salary, It's not so amazing.

Of course, don't give equity, you can't let it go casually, just one month, Baotou even because of the railway, produced a dividend of 10 million, although most of this money was invested in the transformation of Baotou Railway, as well as the procurement of locomotive cars, but from the middle out of 300,000, as Mihai, as well as the reward of its personnel, of course, other railway employees, also have a huge contribution, the first topic is the reward, the rest of the employees have a total of 1.7 million rewards, With an average of less than 30,000 people, each person in the Baotou Railway Bureau can get a reward of nearly 60 yuan.

This amount is definitely not small, it can be regarded as a large-scale reward, and it is estimated that at such a moment, the entire railway bureau, even including Mihai Xin, will be withdrawn.

In fact, at the time of this topic, Mihai, as one of the representatives of the Railway Bureau, was sitting below, and heard that his group would receive a reward of 300,000 yuan, which is a real 150,000 US dollars, although his annual salary is 500,000 yuan, and the annual salary of others is also expensive, but in a month or two, he received such an amazing reward, which has never been encountered in the Pacific Railroad Company, and he was suddenly surprised and delighted, and the old man in his fifties, almost choked up with excitement, after being told that as long as the meeting was over, You can go to the ticket number of the captain's house, get the bill, and you can choose US dollars and silver dollars to facilitate his use.

The first topic, just such a big shock, next, the second topic is also Shun lì, Mihai's excellent performance, so that the profitability of the railway exceeds the expectations of many shareholders for the future, bringing about the great development of the railway, next, the previous plan of 12 new railways, each is not too long, that is, an average of about 200 kilometers, the longest is only 1200 kilometers, is the trunk railway to Gansu and Qinghai, but under the three-line repair, there are also about 15,800 kilometers, This was the next plan, and it was communicated in advance, and Yang Yuanzhao also proposed it.

More than 15,000 kilometers of railway plan, in any country, is a big deal, the investment is very huge, even with Baotou 100 kilometers of 5 million silver dollars investment, will be about 800 million, converted into dollars is 400 million, this is not more than 100 years after the dollar, this era, billionaires, or rare deposits, most of them are super consortiums or families.

However, this issue, easily obtained, solves the biggest problem of locomotives and rails, occupies more than 50 investment in railway construction, without real money, three or four billion investment, or in a period of up to a year of gradual investment, which is not difficult for the shareholders here, Baotou has gone through the most difficult stage before, a large number of industries gradually produce dividends, after taking over Baotou and several emerging cities around it, improve the business administration and tax system, Let this huge urban agglomeration have a lot of financial resources, and it is no longer only the factory itself.

Railways and highways, in Yang Yuanzhao's plan, are public construction, and the construction of the city is one, but most of the construction of Baotou will be placed on the city and factories before, so he and the shareholders will jointly invest, and now the shareholders have seen the huge benefits of the railway, there will be no problems in this regard at all.

The success of the two issues, especially involving hundreds of millions of capital investment, everyone thought that when the meeting was about to end, Yang Yuanzhao suddenly proposed a new topic, the construction of a railway from Baotou to Kulun.

This is an uproar, the previous 12 railways, 11 of which have a certain expectation and passenger flow, after the construction, after a period of cultivation, there will be a good income, not as good as the surrounding of Baotou, but it is also possible, the last one to Qinghai and Ningxia, because of the large-scale occupation of land by the Baotou company, there will also become a focus of the future Baotou planting industry, although a little worse, but it is also acceptable, but Kulun, which has no interests at all.

To say Baotou, historically, the connection with Kulen is very close, Kulen is the residence of the Mongolian duke, and now there are several Mongolian dukes, even the Mongolian living Buddha also lives in Kulun, Baotou before with the help of fur business, it can be said that most of them are housekeepers from Kulen to the prince's house, a small number of Russian fur from Kyakhta, but now, Baotou has been successfully transformed, the target is not for fur, fur and wool textiles, even Baotou is not one ten-thousandth of the entire output value, Even Baotou's products are only shipped to Mongolia in small quantities.

The reason is very simple, daily necessities and many Baotou products, are based on people, to gain market share and market, Mongolia can be said to be the whole of China, except for Xinjiang and Tibet, far away on the border, the least populated place, what market is there in this place, build the railway, I am afraid to lose the bottom of the sky, there is no meaning.

As if it was discussed, the shareholders all objected, and even Mihai, after inquiring about the situation in Mongolia, also followed the opposition, Yang Yuanzhao compromised and said that this railway will not be three railways side by side, just a single-track railway, which has not been recognized, although Yang Yuanzhao can directly force the Guò railway plan, or even build it alone, but after thinking about it, Yang Yuanzhao still did not do this, and acted arbitrarily, often losing the sobriety of judging the problem, What the shareholders and Mihai said about Kulen at present, it is indeed not much interest, even the minerals buried deep in the ground are also meaningless in this era, but that matter is imminent, and after thinking for a long time, Yang Yuanzhao has only the second best request, to build a highway.

Railway plans have been rejected, in fact, 1700 kilometers of railway, the investment will not exceed 80 million, the investment is not large, and the previous plan is not comparable at all, the key is the future operation, will cost a lot, can not build a separate railway, not open to traffic, or just a few vehicles, Baotou is not a philanthropist, willing to throw real money there.

The highway is different, the investment has been reduced to about 300,000 kilometers per 100 kilometers, 1,700 kilometers is only more than 5 million, the most important thing is that the operating cost of the highway is very low, the annual investment is not large, it is just to raise a few people, the shareholders have repeatedly vetoed Yang Yuanzhao's proposal, but also a little embarrassed, millions of investment, put at the shareholders' meeting, is not a matter at all, since Yang Yuanzhao is willing, then pass guò, in the end it is just a road to Kulun.

The whole shareholders' meeting ended like this, Liu Shu also asked with concern, why Yang Yuanzhao proposed to build the Kulun Railway at this time, when the railway was not open to Guò, but asked for a highway, for this, Yang Yuanzhao did not say much, he can say that at most next year, the Qing court that has been in the last days will fall, and Mongolia, the land belonging to China, will be carved up, although later generations have recovered Outer Mongolia during the Republic of China, and it will eventually be lost.

A land of more than one million square kilometers, the most important thing is that direct contact with the hinterland of Baotou, whether it is their own security, or the land can not be lost, Yang Yuanzhao can not give up, the key to the loss of Mongolia in later generations lies in the thin population and harsh environment, this era, because of the emergence of Yang Yuanzhao, there is a different weather in the northwest, a highway is just an improvement, in the future, Mongolia here will build a large number of railways and industries, and even a base to peek further north in the future, in the eyes of Yang Yuanzhao, There is no room for error.

Such ambitions, for the time being, it is inconvenient to tell Liu Shu about it, I will do it, and it will pass, Liu Shu is casually mentioned, without in-depth inquiry, this advance arrangement is so settled, with the speed of highway construction in Baotou, without increasing the level of the highway, at most half a year, that is, from May, to about October, when the whole north is about to enter the winter, this highway will be successfully penetrated, and there will be a convenient transportation and logistics situation in the future military operations. These are just one of Yang Yuanzhao's many layouts, which will be buried deep for the time being, waiting for the day when it will be opened, and this day will not be too long. R1152
