Chapter Eighty-Seven: Looking Forward to the Future

"You are close to the development zone and have a certain scale of production, so it turns out that this special railway line is a supporting facility for it. Now that the production potential of the development zone is huge, and the production capacity has not been fully developed, if we follow the plan we just discussed, we can hold some small meetings at your place, organize import and export companies and production enterprises to participate, and let them meet directly. They have orders in their hands, where the production is the same, and the production enterprises in the central and western regions, the scale of equipment is not small, if some of the orders including machinery, food, home, clothing, electronic equipment and so on, I think they must be very welcome, these enterprises are still staying, there are few orders. In the stage of not having enough to eat, if they can give full play to their huge production potential, it is a great thing. Moreover, if the output goes up, the cost can naturally plummet." Chang Jianming inspired them,

"Yes, this is a mutually reinforcing relationship, the scale of production is large, can not be transported, the scale of production is small, not enough to eat, so, at present, it is a simple car cross-border transportation, this Zhang Ming is more understanding, similar to our original transport station, but after all, it is difficult for car transportation to meet the current needs."

"Yes, yes, you are right", Zhang Ming was very emotional, after all, he has been doing road transportation, so he has a deep feeling, "Speaking of automobile transportation, I have a deep understanding of this, even if it is a dozen, high-tonnage trucks, it is not as large as railway transportation, because after all, it is still subject to natural conditions, after all, the grade of the highway, the natural environment, and even the wind, water, will have a great impact",

"Moreover, the most important thing is that if they take the shipping business, they must also send it to the mainland, through Tianjin, Qingdao and other ports, plus the sea transportation time is too long, generally about 40-50 days, which can not meet the needs of the growing import and export business. If we open the train, we can build a distribution center for import and export goods in the northwest, which can also be called a port, but a port without water. This port can be built in the northwest, we can call it the northwest port, so that you can start from Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Xinjiang, through the Alashankou port, along the way through Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, that is, the five countries of Central Asia, and then to Russia, and then through Belarus, Poland and other countries, continue to extend forward, you can reach Hamburg, Germany, the whole journey will take about half a month, more than 9,000 kilometers, so that you can greatly compress the transit time of the goods, you said, such a speed of transportation, can import and export companies not welcome"? Speaking of this, Chang Jianming couldn't help but feel a little more excited, and asked the two Mr. Zhang.

"Surely you are welcome? You have the most right to speak, you are an import and export company, and you should have the most experience"! Zhang Dong knew that Chang Jianming was the boss of import and export, so he naturally knew it very well.

"Yes, think about it, I am specialized in import and export business, it can be said that in terms of transportation speed, my experience is the deepest, once the goods are sent out, waiting for us, is the user in that desperate urging, to the later part of the shipping time, if you encounter a love storm, a typhoon, a hurricane, stay in the port for several days. They come to fax every day, it is not an exaggeration to say, we can't answer people, where do you say the goods have arrived? We have no way of knowing what the container is like. To be honest, this embarrassing taste can only be experienced by ourselves, tell others, people don't believe it, if our train opens, if I am so welcome, do you say they are not welcome"?

'yes, even if individual companies don't welcome it, they won't oppose it, right?' This Zhang Dong is not worried,

"Opposition will definitely not, maybe some companies will wait and see, if it weren't for the shipping problem, I wouldn't have come to Russia, the next step I have to go to Hungary, Italy, to our users for advice. Of course, by the way, I will also connect the train business over there. Besides, we can go further."

"Further afield"? The two of them were a little puzzled,

"That's right, if our trains reach Central Asia, we can reach Eastern Europe, we can reach Poland and Germany, and then, through Malaszewicz, Poland, and Hamburg, Germany, the goods will be distributed and shipped to Western Europe and even to the deep hinterland of Europe, where there are many large cities, as long as there is a railway connection, we can reach, so that the prospects of the China-Europe train are not more extensive"?

"If we can really do it, of course it's good, but we still have to work steadily and steadily, step by step", Zhang Ming has limited business after all, he is still a little worried,

"You are right, we can follow the existing conditions, first open Xi'an to Almaty Central Asia train, this is the first step, in order to open up the west to connect Central Asia logistics channel, the original Mr. Zhang you have walked through this line of land transportation, along the way natural disasters, human factors can be said to be difficult, countless, right?

"Yes, the conditions are very difficult, unimaginable", thinking of the long journey, Zinoviev's gang of robbers, and the difficult natural conditions, Zhang Ming still has some palpitations.

"But you have cultivated this market, and, after these years of market operation, now your transportation volume has been considerable, and after the opening of this line, we can also successively open a line connecting the five Central Asian countries, even Iran, Afghanistan, and then to Europe, and then connect Belarus, Russia and Latvia, and then westward to Germany, Finland, Hungary, Poland, Belgium, Italy and other lines, this will not become the China-Europe train"?

"Oh, Brother Chang, do you really dare to think that if we follow this path, then we will not achieve full coverage of Central Asia and major European regions?" Zhang Ming was very emotional, he sincerely admired Chang Jianming's thinking,

"You think, the train arrives in Europe, as long as the policy allows, most of the countries there are economically developed regions, and the railways are criss-crossed, you can rest assured, our idea is completely realizable."

"Okay, good, with you leading us forward, the prospects must be very impressive",

"Let's move forward together and give full play to our respective advantages, I believe that this thing will be done",

"Hahaha, it's great, let's replace wine with water, I wish us this cause, all our wishes come true", the three of them looked forward to the beautiful prospects of the Central Asia-Europe train, a little excited, excited to discuss the future,

'Hey, don't replace wine with water, I've brought wine,' and a man walked through the door.......
