Zhao Ye's company has always been a company that creates hot topics.

After 2003, the popularity of "The Martian" gradually declined.

But there's something new that will immediately catch the public's attention......

……

January 21, 2004, 10:34 a.m.

Borderless Tower.

Zhao Ye is still browsing documents in the office, as the company becomes more and more diversified, his workload is also increasing, although there are professional managers to help manage the company, but he can't ignore the company, many bosses are pitted by professional managers.

Jingle bells!

At this moment, the mobile phone above the desk rang.

Zhao Ye looked at the caller ID and found that it was the phone number of Professor Liu Wuai, director of the high-speed rail R&D center.

"Hello, Professor Liu! Is there any new progress in the high-speed rail project? Zhao Ye pressed the connect button and asked.

On the other end of the phone, a middle-aged man in his forties was excited and replied in a deep voice: "Yes, Boss Zhao, the high-speed rail project has made substantial progress, and in the field test, the speed of the high-speed rail has reached 350 kilometers per hour!! ”

When Zhao Ye heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

"Great! In this way, we can immediately carry out large-scale high-speed rail construction across the country!! ”

"That's right, the leaders of the Railway Bureau are already discussing this matter, and they should send someone to contact you soon." Professor Liu Wuai nodded.

The high-speed rail technology is a joint development project of Tiangong Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Wujiang Group, and the State Railway Administration.

Once the large-scale high-speed rail construction starts in China, it is necessary to contact Wujiang Group to invest in the construction of factories and provide a complete set of products and services.

On the afternoon of the next day, Zhao Ye and Zhou Huicheng, CEO of Tiangong Technology Company, and others went to the capital to discuss the establishment of a high-speed rail factory.

……

Reception room of the railway bureau.

Zhou Huicheng took out the PPT of the plan of the high-speed rail factory to the leaders of the Railway Bureau.

"Leaders, our Tiangong Technology Company plans to build four large-scale high-speed rail production bases in the capital, Chongqing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, with a total investment of not less than 50 billion yuan! After the completion of the high-speed rail production base, on the one hand, to meet the domestic demand for high-speed rail, on the other hand, we also plan to export abroad to increase revenue! ”

The R&D cost of high-speed rail is very high, and if you don't make a little money from abroad, it may take a long time to recover the cost.

Although large-scale high-speed rail construction will be carried out in China soon, the purchase price is very cheap, and it is a route of small profits and quick turnover.

When the leaders heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads and expressed their satisfaction, and the four large-scale high-speed rail production bases, radiating all over the country, can fully meet the needs of the railway bureau.

Zhao Ye asked at this time: "Leaders of the Railway Bureau, has the high-speed rail route been determined?" I mean, I hope that the country can take a bigger step, Galaxy Bank and Standard Chartered Bank are willing to give low-interest loans to the Railway Bureau to build a high-speed rail network! ”

The high-speed rail line is very important, and the high-speed rail will definitely develop faster in the places where it passes, and the water in it is very deep, and many cities are involved in the game. Zhao Ye didn't care about these open and secret battles, he just thought about how to carry out large-scale high-speed rail construction.

Although the country is rich now, it does not mean that a lot of money can be used to build high-speed rail at once, so Zhao Ye decided to let his Galaxy Bank and Standard Chartered Bank give loans to the Railway Bureau.

One kilometer of high-speed rail is very expensive, and the construction cost is at least a small target.

For the railway bureau, in fact, the more it is built, the more it loses, but after the completion of the high-speed railway, it is convenient for the people to travel, and the economy of the surrounding areas has developed.

Banks can also obtain long-term stable income by lending to the railway bureau.

In addition, the high-speed rail production base can also sell more products.

In this way, part of the money lent out by the bank has been earned back by the high-speed rail production base.

"Dong Zhao, do you really want to take out a loan to the Railway Bureau?" The leaders of the railway bureau were stunned and immediately felt a great surprise.

Zhao Ye smiled and nodded: "Galaxy Bank and Standard Chartered Bank can lend a total of one trillion yuan to the Railway Bureau, with an annual interest rate of only 3%, and after the high-speed rail is opened, it will be paid off in 20 years!" ”

One trillion yuan is not a trillion dollars, which is not much compared to the funds currently held by Galaxy Bank and Standard Chartered Bank.

The funds of Zhao Ye's companies and many partners have been placed in Galaxy Bank and Standard Chartered Bank, with a total of more than 12 trillion US dollars under management!

Especially since last year, the companies under Zhao Ye's name have been listed for financing one after another, and suddenly there is a lot of money to spend, and the amount of deposits is simply amazing.

Although one trillion yuan is a lot, for Zhao Ye, there is not much pressure.

What's more, the loan to the railway bureau will always be a stable income.

The national credit is far from being comparable to one trillion yuan, and it will not make the railway bureau bankrupt~

At this time, the leaders of the railway bureau were very excited.

However, they did not dare to agree to such a big matter without the consent of the country's top leaders.

"Dong Zhao, I'll report to the above later on the loan, and see their decision!" A senior official of the Railway Bureau spoke.

"Okay, no problem."

Zhao Ye said with a smile, "I also hope that high-speed rail can be popularized as soon as possible, so as to do my little bit for the construction of the country." ”

The talks ended quickly, and the leaders of the railway bureau were anxious to report the loan to the above.

The railway bureau had a limited budget and originally planned to build only three high-speed railways:

1. Beijing-Tianjin intercity railway, connecting the capital and Tianjin.

2. Hewu high-speed railway, Hefei to Wuhan.

3. Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway, Wuhan to Guangzhou.

But if you get loans from Galaxy Bank and Standard Chartered Bank, you can build high-speed rail across the country.

In fact, the railway bureau has planned the ten major high-speed railway trunk lines for a long time, with five vertical, five horizontal and eight links, covering major cities across the country as much as possible.

In the afternoon of the same day, the leaders above learned that the bank under Zhao Ye's name was willing to take out a loan for the high-speed rail construction project, so they immediately held a meeting to discuss.

"I think loans are a good thing, there are still many places in China that need money, and we don't have to spend precious money on high-speed rail construction for the time being. In the future, when the country's economy continues to take off at a high speed and taxes increase significantly, we will slowly repay the loan! The leader who spoke, his face was full of smiles, in his opinion, Zhao Ye gave the state a loan to develop high-speed rail, which was beneficial and harmless. In the early years, when the country was poor and backward, it hoped that someone would lend out to develop the economy with loans.

At present, although the country has basically escaped poverty, it is still some way from the developed countries.

Don't look at the huge size of China's economy, but per capita GDP, China is still far behind European and American countries.

Every penny of the state must be used on the cutting edge.

Zhao Ye is very rich, and it is simply good that he can lend money to the country to build a high-speed railway.

China can not only build high-speed rail, but also develop it in other aspects!

In the conference hall, there were a lot of people who echoed.

Obviously, the vast majority of leaders agree with the Railway Bureau accepting Zhao Ye's loan.

The leaders of the railway bureau themselves also voted in favor.

The next morning, the leader of the Railway Bureau called Zhao Ye and others over again, and then conveyed the above meaning.

Zhao Ye was overjoyed when he heard this.

To be honest, this loan is a win-win situation.

The railway bureau has achieved the purpose of speeding up the construction of high-speed rail, the bank has made a lot of interest on loans, and the high-speed rail production base of Tiangong Technology has obtained a large number of orders.

At the same time, such a large infrastructure project will definitely drive the development of all walks of life, solve the employment problem of hundreds of thousands of workers, and so on...... Let the economy of the whole country take off quickly!

January 30 at 11 o'clock in the morning.

Zhao Ye, CEO of Galaxy Bank, CEO of Standard Chartered Bank, and senior executives of the Railway Bureau held a grand loan agreement ceremony at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in the capital.

When reporters from major media outlets around the world came to the hotel, they were stunned when they heard the content of the ceremony......
