Rebirth in 1989: Creating the Chinese Technology Empire

The reason why Xu Huasheng invests in expressways is that in addition to the profits of the expressway itself, Xu Huasheng also attaches great importance to the service area. You must know that Xu Huasheng has a petroleum license and is qualified to open a gas station in the country.

When the time comes to build your own gas stations in these service areas, just think about how profitable it will be. In addition to gas stations, charging stations will also be reserved in each service area to lay out the future electric vehicle industry. When the time is right, a large number of charging piles can be built directly in these service areas, so that it can be faster Let the electric vehicle industry get started and let Shanhai Automobile take the lead in the electric vehicle industry.

At the same time, for these service areas, Xu Huasheng plans to take the affordable route and truly improve the services in the service areas, making the service areas worthy of service. To make the service area truly a place where people are willing to rest and spend money, the hotels in the service area should be reasonably priced and have good conditions. Restaurants should be cheap, taste good, and be clean. Supermarkets within the service area should have a large number of products at affordable prices and not deceive consumers.

At the same time, a special truck parking area will be established, only trucks are allowed to enter, and there will be security services, so that truck drivers can truly have a good rest and sleep in the service area, so that they do not have to worry about stealing while resting in the service area. Oily, oily guy.

In a word, make this service area a place where passers-by are willing to stay, eat, stay overnight, rest and even entertain. Unlike many service areas in the original time and space, tourists would rather eat instant noodles than buy food in the service area.

If the expressway service area could be as envisioned by Xu Huasheng, why would people on the road need to carry instant noodles with them in their cars? Go to a service area and go directly to eat.

It seems that the price is lower than robbing people, and the profit is low, but more people are willing to stay and consume, and a virtuous circle will be formed. In this way, business will be better and profits will be sustainable, instead of being like many service areas in the original time and space, where many eating places are deserted and everyone goes to the service area just to go to the toilet.

"Dear heads, this is our highway investment plan. Regarding highway tolls, our company's initial tolls will be higher to recover costs. Once the costs are recovered, we will lower the toll standards and maintain a reasonable profit. The profit point. When the contract period is over, our company will hand over the ownership of these highways to the state..."

Xu Huasheng's words made everyone couldn't help but nod.

This model is quite good. Private companies build highways and recoup their costs by collecting tolls. After the cost is recovered, the tolls will be reduced to maintain a relatively reasonable profit. After the contract period expires, the road ownership returns to the state.

Obviously, Xu Huasheng knows how to advance and retreat. As a private enterprise, it is naturally impossible to permanently control the ownership of these roads. But as a private company, it must be profitable before it is willing to invest.

Therefore, how to grasp this degree is very critical. We must not only build roads, but also allow private companies to make profits. In the end, we must not allow private companies to use roads to make huge profits wantonly. This requires careful deliberation and a complete charter. .

“As for railway investment, dear ministers, we do not invest in ordinary railways.”

In the room, everyone was stunned by Xu Huasheng's words, and then looked at Xu Huasheng curiously.

"If we at Huasheng Group want to play, we will play high-end. Leaders, you all know about the high-speed rail, right?"

Xu Huasheng's question made everyone stunned.

"Are you talking about high-speed railways like Japan's Shinkansen?"

An old man answered directly and Xu Huasheng nodded.

"Yes, it is this kind of high-speed railway. A high-speed railway that operates at a speed of more than 250 kilometers per hour. China is too big. With the growth of the economy, the time cost will become more and more expensive. So I think that in the future, our country will focus on high-speed railways. The demand will be huge. For example, haven’t we already started a feasibility study on the high-speed rail line from Yanjing to Shanghai? If the running speed of this line can reach kilometers per hour, then the high-speed rail line from Yanjing to Shanghai will be The time can be increased from the current two days to about five hours. At that time, after breakfast in Yanjing in the morning, take the high-speed train to the Magic City, walk around the Magic City and come back, and come back for dinner in the evening without delay. In this way, the city and The distance between cities has shortened..."

Xu Huasheng said directly. Now the railway speed from Yanjing to Shanghai is very slow. The current running speed of trains is only a pitiful 60 kilometers per hour. From Shanghai to Yanjing, it took more than a day to get there with stops and stops.

In fact, the feasibility study of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail had already begun in 1990. In 1994, the original research team submitted a feasibility report on this high-speed rail line.

"Comrade Xiao Xu, is this technology too difficult? We don't have any experience at all..."

An old man couldn't help but said.

"Chief, it's just because it's difficult that we at Huasheng Group are willing to do research and development. High-speed rail is an integration of high-end manufacturing technology, and it has very high technical requirements. To put it bluntly, it's just a small screw, and the standards are very, very high. But Some things will never happen if we don’t do them. We at Huasheng Group are willing to challenge such difficult things. Once we have our own high-speed rail technology, we can build our own high-speed rail lines on a large scale in the country. If Our country is fully covered by high-speed rail. You can think about how wonderful life is. With a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, even from Yanjing to Shencheng, it will only take about ten hours. And Yanjing to Tianjin to Shijiazhuang will be even closer. By then , we can use high-speed rail to create an economic circle of one hour, two hours or three hours..."

When Xu Huasheng described the blueprint, everyone had expectations in their eyes.

If the whole country is really covered by high-speed rail with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour or even faster, it will be very, very convenient for people to travel. Commuting time between cities will be significantly reduced.

By then, it will be much more convenient whether working or traveling. It's really going to come true. What kind of prosperous age is this?

Thinking of this, many old people couldn't help but sigh.

It's a pity that I am getting older, and I don't know if I will be able to see such a prosperous age in this life.

“Dear heads, with the high-speed rail technology we can not only facilitate ourselves, but we can also use our high-speed rail as a business card or diplomatic tool made in China, so that more countries around the world can adopt our high-speed rail standards, and more people around the world can The country has high-speed rail, so that the high-speed rails of more countries around the world can be connected to our high-speed rails."

Xu Huasheng picked up a pen and came to the map and drew a few lines with red lines. After seeing these lines, everyone's eyes immediately lit up. "
