Yang Yuanzhao didn't expect that Zhan Tianyou would be like this, from later generations, Yang Yuanzhao knows very well that when the scale of production reaches a certain level, the cost advantage that industrial production can produce is so terrible, you know, these steels, just special formulas and processes, at most add some additives and trace elements, the price of steel, not only did not increase much, but because of 150 tons of furnace and continuous production, it has been reduced a lot, at most only about a quarter of Hanyang Iron Works, Coupled with skilled workers and efficient machinery, a certain number of dù, but also lower, a meter of rail, calculate the cost of all the cost, the cost of industrial production, will not exceed 4 yuan, although the price of 10 times the increase, but the rail this large-scale industrial product, has never been known for its retail sales, is the group procurement, the least, is also hundreds of kilometers of purchases, this is a relatively large astronomical figure, 10 times the profit, is really very considerable.

Zhang Zhaozhong listened quietly beside him, although it was 10 times higher than the exit price, but Zhang Zhaozhong didn't care at all, the world's strongest heavy rail rail, the cost increased by 10 times that is normal, you know, this not only has its own cost, but also the cost of scientific research, as an economist, steel practitioners, he knows very well that a qualified rail, the investment required to study it, that is an astronomical amount, but also a certain amount of luck, both are indispensable.

Whether it is Zhang Zhaozhong or Zhan Tianyou, they would not have thought that the research investment in this rail is almost zero, with such an anti-heaven artifact as an all-in-one machine, in terms of materials, Yang Yuanzhao itself has a huge advantage, not to mention the rail, even if it is a polymer chemical material that is extremely complex in the future, the investment is all zero.

In this way, even if it is an ordinary, worthless railway, the price of 500 yuan per piece is enough to receive, although it is said that the overall investment will not be quadruplied by a railway like Beijing-Zhangjiakou, because the rail will probably account for half of the share in the overall investment, and the total investment of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway will reach a high price of about 17 million, which is 10 million higher than before, but the annual transportation capacity and various additional benefits are definitely much higher than the original Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway. Not to mention, 10 times the annual traffic capacity, more goods and raw materials can be transported out, and the traffic speed of more than 60 kilometers will double the distance between Beijing and Zhangjiakou, and the economic benefits will definitely be very considerable.

To be honest, Yang Yuanzhao has never worried about the sales of steel, now many directors, in Yang Yuanzhao's flickering, did not expect the problem of steel sales, China, for the time being, there is not so much demand just now, when this market is cultivated, this demand will reach a unimaginable Cheng dù, now in this case, these steel piles are here, they are piled here, and they can't produce the slightest benefit, once with the help of Zhan Tianyou, it will become a railway, Only then can the power of the steel plant be brought into play.

"500 is enough."

"And what about the one before?"

"Before, the one you saw yesterday!"

"250 bar!"

Although the cost of the previous rail, compared with the current cost of the rail, It's just a difference of 0.5 yuan, but one is the best, and the best product, the other is a little worse, don't look at the difference, the price, is not comparable, if Yang Yuanzhao is a real capitalist, want to get huge profits, he will never put 42 kilograms per meter of steel rail, 37 kilograms of rail per meter, can definitely be called the world's first-class, even in the United States, there are only a limited number of trunk railways, can meet this standard.

250 a meter, almost twice as expensive as the 12 kg light rail, but its weight is three times, Zhan Tianyou regretted his face, his Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, if all the use of this heavy steel rail, not to mention the improvement of its own quality, even if it is its own investment, the investment of one meter will not be much, at most, more than 2 million taels, but the overall effect of the railway, absolutely different from now, unfortunately, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway has been built, no matter how much regret, can not choose.

It is determined that the northwest has extremely qualified steel rails, coupled with a huge production capacity, 500,000 tons of steel rails, can already build a lot of railways, with the railway construction cycle of this era, it is often several years, that is to say, he can at least in the next few years, to provide China with a trunk railway, or even several.

Trunk railways, which are unique in China, just look at the light rail railway, can create such a large amount of wealth, trunk railways, for industry, for the flow of goods, especially the flow of people, with this unimaginable convenience, the United States, not the Pacific Railway, the east and the west, are simply two completely different worlds.

"Alright, you say, let me build something!" Zhan Tianyou finally spat out, what official position, status, from the moment he went abroad to study and became a student in the United States, he was inseparable from the railway, the reason why he became an official is also because in the whole of China, except for the government, no one can take on the heavy responsibility of railway construction, and now the next railway is still far away, Baotou already has enough to support the construction capacity of hundreds of kilometers of railways, and he will not care about any official position, as long as there is a railway to repair, everything is secondary.

"Please follow me!" Yang Yuanzhao introduced Zhan Tianyou into a small building in the steel mill, which is the headquarters of the Railway Construction Corps, of course, just a reputation, at present, Yang Yuanzhao just built a shelf, and a large number of students were gathered across the country, including among the previous talents, as well as technical schools, to do basic surveying and mapping.

Has a map of the national railway and highway, and it is a book, although at most it is only a city or a province, but enough for Yang Yuanzhao to use, he can find the location of some trunk railways in the comparison between the later generations and the present, which saves a lot of time for comparison and survey, directly along the existing railway lines, carry out some pre-design, when the number of people is large enough to a certain distance, all the lines can be rolled out and started.

The total number of these people reached 6,000, divided into 5 different groups, respectively, on the previous shareholders' meeting, has been established 5 railways, a series of surveying and mapping, with the help of Baotou various motor vehicles, such as tractors and four-wheeled carriages, in addition to the inconvenient transportation, Yang Yuanzhao whimsically wanted to build the Baotou to Yan'an railway, the rest, are in the intense design and measurement.

Now the main forces are concentrated on the three railways, Baotou to Zhangjiakou, Baotou to Taiyuan and Baotou to Baiyun Obo, the total design mileage of the three railways is close to 1,000 kilometers, even if Yang Yuanzhao reluctantly passes the railway to Pinglu and Yan'an with the help of flickering, he cannot put them in the most important position.

In this regard, Yang Yuanzhao has no better way, he can forcibly implement, but at present, the railway to Yan'an and Pinglu does not seem to be so urgent, Baotou's demand for oil and coal is not strong enough to be that kind of Cheng dù, you can put it first, anyway, with the help of mechanization, the speed of railway construction, although not as fast as the road, but it is okay.

A large number of drawings are placed there, Zhan Tianyou reads through the ten lines at a glance, the experts' eyes are very different, from the sporadic information in front of him, he has analyzed that the goal of Baotou is still placed on two trunk lines, one is Baotou to Zhangjiakou, in Zhangjiakou, docking with the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, and the other is Baotou to Taiyuan.

The former has already been thought of, although the latter has some doubts, it can promote the connection between Beijing and Zhengtai, and form the first railway network in the north, which is also very advocated by Zhan Tianyou, a railway, at most to change the exit of a region, but several railways intersect, a region, or even a regional hub is formed, a core hub based on railways and transportation is formed, and many transportation hubs in the United States are formed by relying on two or three railways.

The three railways, almost about 1,000 kilometers, have exceeded the railways opened to traffic in the past few decades, the whole of China, from 1876 to the present, the annual railway mileage, on average, is only a few tens of kilometers, this time, is more than 1,000.

Suddenly, Zhan Tianyou turned over a page of information and asked with some surprise: "Mr. Yang, there seems to be some problems here, why is there so much measured width, is it possible, do we need a few choices for the railway?" ”

Yang Yuanzhao walked over, opened the piece of paper and saw that it was a survey map across the river, and said with a smile: "It's not three choices, but these three places will build railway bridges!" ”

"What, railway bridges need to be built in three places, are you kidding, isn't it a waste?" Zhan Tianyou glared and said angrily.

"It's not a waste!" Yang Yuanzhao said calmly, and then pulled Zhan Tianyou to explain, considering the gradual expansion of Baotou's commercial and manufacturing industry, a certain amount of Chengdù above, Baotou in the future, the need to transport the capacity of outward, will reach a Cheng dù that amazes everyone, in this case, the direct laying of the two-lane has become a necessary choice, a freight, a passenger transport, among them, in the future, when the flow of people increases, a fourth special passenger railway can also be laid, and the two railways will be made into passenger dedicated, and the transportation speed will be improved.

Yang Yuanzhao gushed introducing, at this time, Zhan Tianyou was already stunned, he was still trying to obtain funds, when the construction of the railway, Baotou had the luxury of three lines to repair together, such a big deal has only been seen in the United States, some branch railways, even trunk railways, three four, or even five together, but later it turned out that this is unrealistic, many railways have been demolished, when the scrap iron was sold, I didn't expect to see another one in Baotou on the northwest border, Could it be that Yang Yuanzhao also came back from studying in the United States, and came from other places, and there is no such a loser and a local tyrant?
