Hong Fenhao was overjoyed: "That's right! Without the TBM, they can't start work!"
"Don't you need a TBM to build the subway? We have already monopolized it!"
During this period, the shield machines of the Will, Military State, and Hegemony led the world, but until this time, the shield machines had been included in Xia's embargoed list.
In fact, many foreign organizations have tacit understanding.
They would naturally refuse to provide the empire with relevant advanced equipment.
Without a shield machine, it would be impossible to dig tunnels.
Then building a subway becomes a delusion.
Edward gave a thumbs up: "Fran, this plan works!"
Francis sneered: "No matter what, Xia Guo's construction of the subway cannot be separated from us. Jiang, what do you know what to do next?"
Jiang Ping was still a little confused.
The key is that Francis and Edward were talking in English the whole time.
And he didn't understand it at all.
Naturally, Hong Fenhao, Yuan Huan, and Jin Qiaoqiao who were present knew English.
Jiang Ping is the only illiterate person.
Seeing him shaking his head, Yuan Huan immediately explained: "Don't we need TBMs to build the subway? Now the young master has decided to negotiate with three TBM companies and first refuse to borrow or export TBMs for Longteng Jiuzhou. They How can we start work without a TBM?”
"When the time comes, if our Great China Group makes another move, the Imperial Capital will naturally send people to agree to our conditions and choose us to contract the project!"
After listening to Yuan Huan's explanation, Jiang Ping suddenly realized: "That's it! The two young masters are really shocking. Such a strategy will definitely make Yemu Capital fall! Let him kneel down to lick the young master's shoes in Xia Ye, haha Ha ha!"
Edward spread his arms: "Fran, let's have dinner together tonight, let's have a good time!"
They are both members of the Freemasonry, and they became friends because of their dealings with Xia Ye, and they came on a path of mutual benefit.
Therefore, the relationship on this yacht these days is getting better and better.
After hearing Francis's plan, although it was very bold, it was not impossible to do it by borrowing their Masonic status, family assets, and connections from their father's generation!
"That summer night, he didn't understand the truth and logic of the operation of this society. The bigger the business and the project, the bigger the business and the project, the bigger the business and the bigger the project. It is not something he can decide alone, but a competition between countries."
"Longteng Group doesn't have a TBM. Even if it breaks the sky, they can't build the subway!"
…
"Boss, who should we contact regarding the import of shield machine equipment?" Gu Yanxi asked.
She doesn't know much about this aspect, but she also understands that shield machines must be used to build subways.
Only with this thing to build tunnels can it be possible to build a subway.
In this world, there are only three companies in the world that master advanced and efficient shield machine manufacturing technology.
Will, military power, hegemony!
And until now, the three shield machine companies from these three countries have maintained their monopoly on shield machine equipment!
Sitting in the office, Xia Ye fell into deep thought.
This is the first time for Yemu Capital to operate such a large-scale project.
Now everything is on track, but the money needed to spend is an astronomical figure.
Regarding the counterattack of the shield machine, Xia Ye knew about it in his previous life. In his previous life, he himself held part of the assets of the National Railway.
The subway does not make any money. It can even be said that it loses money every year.
But why, over the past twenty years, has the empire continued to build subways and high-speed rails?
the reason is simple.
From the perspective of their Longteng Group, building the subway is of course a loss of money, and there is no need to look at this.
Even though many people now think that the subway makes money, that is simply not true.
Xia Ye estimated that even the Great China Group thought so. They felt that the subway was making money and they would compete with Longteng Jiuzhou for projects.
This is not the case.
The subway is extremely beneficial from the government's perspective.
Moreover, I think it can make money.
After all, for most cities, the main source of government revenue is from land sales.
Therefore, the level of land prices directly affects the government's fiscal revenue and profits.
The subway can connect the two plots to realize resource sharing in the true sense.
So once a certain plot of land is connected to the subway, it will be connected to the public facilities of the entire city, such as hospitals, schools, etc.
Land prices will naturally go up.
Then the profits from land finance will be very high!
For the government, it is much safer to let Longteng Jiuzhou build the subway than to let foreign-funded enterprises build the subway.
For this kind of company that shares the worries and losses of the empire, it is best to let its own people do it.
After all, if you hand it over to foreign capital, the subway will lose its operational significance.
Foreign capital will try their best to squeeze money from the subway's profits.
By then, urban resource sharing will become a joke.
Faced with high subway fares, people will still choose buses or electric scooters for transportation.
After all, in a practical sense, the subway is still owned by the whole people, and foreign-funded enterprises will not recognize this set of things.
For capitalists, any industry that is unprofitable must be cut off, no matter what it is!
It’s so troublesome to go back and forth like this!
The empire is also for stability, once and for all, and even to not spend energy on competing with those foreign companies. This is the holding of nationalization.
Of course, the subway company’s funds approved every year from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission...
Just outsource my employees, and the rest...
All I can say is that I understand everything.
At that time, in order to build the Qinling Railway, the empire finally spent 300 million knives from its will and imported two shield machines. If the subsequent service fees and installation fees are added, it would be 700 million!
Because, the shield machine is monopolized by these three companies.
The former National Railway Group and the National Railway Administration spent more than a billion dollars every year to import shield machines for construction and operations. At that time, the empire's shield machine market share was almost entirely occupied by these three companies.
It was not until 1819 that, in order to prepare for the Olympic Games, the military had to import special shield machines from the Empire at a low price, and the Will Shield Machine Company was acquired by the Empire Enterprises. Only then could 70% of the global shield machine market finally become The product of imperial enterprise production.
700 million dollars...
This number, converted into national currency according to the exchange rate in 2001, is approximately more than 2.46 billion.
That’s almost the number!
"Xiao Gu, I want to make a big investment. Maybe... you need to go there in person. After all, you have studied there and are familiar with Europe. I can't get away myself, so I can only send someone Go and talk to the shield machine company over there, I will give you a budget of 2.4 billion, and your task is to bring back two shield machines!"
Zero one year.
this era.
The Empire doesn't even have a shield machine of its own!
Xia Ye, I am willing to be the leader!
Even if Yemu Capital loses capital and loses all his money!
The subway must also be built!
