"Dear journalists, welcome to the signing ceremony of our loan with the Railway Bureau!"

Zhao Ye stood on the stage and spoke.

The loan signing ceremony was proposed by Zhao Ye, and the main purpose was to spread China's determination to build high-speed rail to the outside world. Of course, Zhao Ye still has a small selfishness, that is, to let the outside world know that he has loaned a trillion yuan to the Railway Bureau, and if the country does not repay the money in the future, he is afraid of being reported by the media.

"As the saying goes, 'if you want to get rich, build roads first'!"

"Recently, China's self-developed high-speed rail has made a huge breakthrough, and in practical application, the speed of high-speed rail has reached 350 kilometers per hour."

"Therefore, in order to respond to the call of the national high-speed rail construction, I decided to let Galaxy Bank and Standard Chartered Bank jointly lend 1 trillion yuan to the Railway Bureau, so as to speed up the construction of high-speed rail in China and benefit more cities and people!!"

As soon as the words fell, the reporters were instantly stunned.

"I heard it right, Zhao Ye loaned a trillion yuan to the State Railway Administration??? Oh my God, are you so rich? ”

High-speed rail projects have already been opened in many countries, but the speed is not so fast.

The reporters were surprised, but not surprising.

On the contrary, it was Zhao Ye's generous loan of 1 trillion yuan to China, which made everyone stunned.

There are basically no loans of this magnitude in the world.

"China's ability to independently develop high-speed rail is very awesome in itself, with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, which is enough to be listed as one of the fastest high-speed railways in the world. Zhao Ye was even more speechless, and directly loaned 1 trillion yuan to the Railway Bureau as soon as he opened his mouth, do you want to be so awesome? My salary is only three or four thousand a month, which makes me embarrassed......"

"Oh God, this is simply not possible in a foreign country! Even an American consortium would not have lent the U.S. government so much money to build high-speed rail. Moreover, there is basically no high-speed rail in the United States, and most of the trains that are still running today have a history of decades or even hundreds of years, which is not only very slow, but also dilapidated, and basically few people are willing to take the train...... "An American reporter was envious in his heart.

The speed of 350 kilometers per hour really stunned him.

Compared to that, American trains are simply synonymous with backwardness!

Moreover, American trains are also very expensive.

If the United States can give birth to a person like Zhao Ye, why can't the United States continue to rejuvenate!

The American reporter looked at Zhao Ye and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

……

Soon, news of the loan signing ceremony spread far and wide, and then quickly spread around the world.

When the people in China heard the news, they were first shocked, and then excited.

A-shares, all listed steel companies are red!

Such huge good news has made shareholders, investment institutions and listed companies crazy.

When the news spread abroad, it naturally caused a huge shock.

Australia.

A number of mining giants had bad intentions at this time.

BHP Billiton.

Conference room.

President Ronald Price said to the others with an excited face: "Everyone has also received the news, China is going to build high-speed rail on a large scale, and Zhao Ye, the richest man in the world, has loaned 1 trillion yuan to the China Railway Administration!" Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come for us to get rich!! It takes a lot of steel to build high-speed rail, and even if we only increase the price of iron ore by 1%, we can make a lot of money. In fact, 1% is not enough to satisfy our appetite, at least 10% is enough! More than 60% of China's iron ore comes from Australia, and this time China wants to build a high-speed railway, I don't believe they won't buy our iron ore! ”

As soon as the words fell, the others in the room immediately chimed in and let out a smug laugh.

"Haha, President Price is so right, if we take this opportunity to increase the price of our iron ore, we will be able to make a lot of money!!"

"China's economic development is so fast, it is really enviable and jealous! This time, we must get a handful of wool from it, anyway, the other party has money, and I don't care about this money in the future, haha......"

BHP's top brass are a bit carried away, China has long been Australia's largest iron ore trading partner, but has no pricing power over iron ore. These mining companies do not know how to be grateful at all, they are greedy and shameless, and often find various reasons to make the price of iron ore rise. This time was no exception.

At this time, there is a boom in high-speed rail construction in China, and the previously confirmed high-speed rail planning route plan has entered the construction stage.

China has a lot of experience in building railways or something.

In order to build a high-speed railway, the railway bureau has specially developed a machine called CPG500 ballasted track laying machine.

This machine is mainly used for laying tracks, and its biggest advantage is that it can double track 30 tons and 500 meters of steel rails at the same time. It's much faster than other tools. In addition, when the machine is running, it can also accurately lay the sleeper weighing 200 kg below.

Not only is it fast, but it also allows the adjacent sleepers to be spaced 60 centimeters apart, and they are arranged so neatly that it is hard to imagine from each other.

In the construction section of the Beijing-Tianjin intercity railway, Zhao Ye and his entourage came here to inspect the construction of the project.

When I saw this CPG500 ballasted track-laying machine, I realized that the name of China's "infrastructure madness" is not in vain!

In the past, it was laid manually, and a sleeper required several people to lift, which was simply time-consuming and laborious.

Now with this artifact, it no longer takes so much manpower to lay the rails. A track-laying machine with 7 people can lay 2,000 meters of track in one day, which is the world's leading in terms of speed!

Zhao Ye listened to the introduction of the person in charge of the project, and couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly.

This construction speed is really fast!!

Just when Zhao Ye was happy, the secretary Liu Yinyin frowned at this time and walked over.

"Dong Zhao, I just received the news that the price of iron ore in Australia has increased by 15%!"

When Zhao Ye heard this, his face suddenly sank, if it weren't for his scruples, he couldn't help but scold.

The price of iron ore has risen by 15%, which will mean that the construction cost of high-speed rail will increase significantly.

Not only that, but the increase in iron ore prices also affects other aspects, including real estate, manufacturing, finance, and so on......

Zhao Ye, who returned to the company, finally couldn't help but scold.

"TMD, these Australian mining companies are really not a thing, and they actually took the opportunity to increase the price by 15%!"

A 1% to 3% price increase is acceptable.

However, if the price rises by 15%, it will have a great impact, and China will not accept it at all.

Liu Yinyin said in a deep voice: "Dong Zhao, the other party has risen so high all of a sudden, it should have left us room for bargaining." However, the other party has a great appetite, at least 7% or more! We should soon send someone to negotiate with Australia and strongly demand that the price of iron ore be lowered. ”

Zhao Ye shook his head and said, "I'm not optimistic about the results of the official negotiations!" ”

In his previous life, Zhao Ye had already seen Australia's face clearly.

Even if the price of iron ore can be negotiated, it will still be much higher than before.

Zhao Ye was furious, and said coldly: "I won't let them succeed, I have to teach them a lesson!! ”

"What the country is not good to do, I Zhao Ye is easy to do!"

"Don't they like to raise prices, that's good, see who loses a lot in the end! Liu Yinyin, you should immediately contact the Galaxy Mining Group and ask the senior management to come to me for a meeting at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Oh, by the way, you asked people to investigate the main products that Australia exports to our country, and I want to know the detailed data! ”

"Okay, Dong Zhao, I'll do it right away!" Liu Yinyin responded.

……

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Ten executives from the Galaxy Mining Group came to Zhao Ye's office.

Everyone knew the purpose of Zhao Ye calling them to the meeting.

CEO Fei Chengyi is ready.

"Mr. Fei, the price of iron ore in Australia has risen, how is the iron ore output of Galaxy Mining Group? Can you bring down the price of iron ore? ”

Fei Chengyi shook his head and said: "Zhao Dong, the main industries of Galaxy Mining Group are concentrated in Africa, although Africa is rich in mining resources, but you know that Africa's infrastructure construction and transportation are very poor, and mineral transportation is difficult. So, so far, Galaxy Mining Group's total iron ore production is only 30 million tonnes, less than one-seventh of that of Billiton Minerals Australia. ”

In addition to BHP, there are many mining companies in Australia.

It is difficult for the iron ore output of Galaxy Mining Group to affect the other party.

When Zhao Ye heard this, his face suddenly became unsightly.

Seeing this, Fei Chengyi hurriedly added: "Dong Zhao, although the iron ore production of our Galaxy Mining Group is low, it has great potential. Although we have obtained the development rights from the local government, due to various reasons, such as inconvenient transportation, political instability, war, etc., these mines have not been developed, if these mines can be developed, I can guarantee that our iron ore production can be increased to at least 200 million tons per year!! ”

When Zhao Ye heard this, he couldn't help frowning, the difficulty of developing this African mine is far more difficult than Fei Chengyi said, but this still can't stop me from developing the mine!!

Zhao Ye's eyes were firm, and he clapped his head: "No matter how difficult the mine development is, we must develop it, those Australian idiots, let them get out, China no longer needs to import iron ore from them!! ”
