Chapter 252 Tool Man(1/2)
Author: September Sauce
After leaving Chen Guo's office, Chen Nian couldn't help but feel funny the whole way.
India has had the idea of building a high-speed rail for a long time. After all, for a country like them, whose population is almost the same as that of China, but whose railway transportation system is much worse, if it can be done in one step and jump directly to the high-speed rail era,
The efficiency improvement brought about is definitely not a small number.
However, all the powerful companies had previously quoted very high prices, which they simply could not afford.
But it's different now.
With the Chinese catfish disrupting the situation, the price of the entire high-speed rail construction market has been slashed by more than 30%.
It's impossible for them not to be tempted by a price cut of this magnitude.
——
But here's the problem.
Indians want to build a high-speed rail, but they are only interested in it, but they are not willing to spend money at all.
In Chen Nian’s impression, in the previous life, after the island country Kawasaki Heavy Industries won the high-speed rail contract in India, the 500-kilometer project planned to be completed within five years ended up building less than 10 kilometers, and the investment also increased from 1.69 trillion yen to
3 trillion.
India is not satisfied with this at all, and continues to require the island countries to make additional investments in accordance with the initially signed contract, otherwise they will be held responsible for breach of contract.
India is the only country that has deceived people to this extent.
Now, the Ministry of Railways has received an interest from India. They want China Railway Group to invest in a high-speed rail line in India with preferential conditions just like it invested in the Gauteng High-speed Railway.
Obviously, this is a hot potato for the Ministry of Railways.
Take it, you don't know whether they can fulfill the contract based on their morality.
But if you don’t take it, you can indeed see the profit margin.
In general, the risk is high, the return is low, and it is useless.
Zhang Shuguang was worried about this, but unexpectedly, Chen Guo was overjoyed after hearing the news.
Isn't this a bargaining chip delivered to your door?
Since the income from the Indians is non-deterministic, it is better to change the idea and use this non-deterministic income to go to the islanders in exchange for some certain income.
You know, it just happened.
Kawasaki Group not only manufactures carbon fiber materials, Kawasaki Heavy Industries also builds high-speed rail
So, the plan was finalized. India was about to act as a tool, while the island nation was likely to become the biggest enemy in the new century.
Next, let’s see how the Civil Development Office performs the show.
After all, it is not that easy to make this matter happen.
Meanwhile, New Delhi.
Makino Hyoye sat on the street with a sad face, eating clean and hygienic fried rice, and holding a glass of sticky aloe vera juice in his hand.
After coming to New Delhi for two years, he has almost completely adapted to the eating habits here. The diarrhea he often had at the beginning has long since disappeared. Now, he can even sit by the Ganges with an expressionless face while watching the food floating down the water.
The charred floating corpse was eating roasted chicken legs bought from a roadside stall.
Therefore, the painful look on his face today is not because of the food in his hand.
It's because of the work at hand that I can't finish.
In fact, since he came here as a customer representative of Kawasaki Heavy Industries two years ago, he has only one purpose, and that is:
Convince India to build high-speed rail and win their high-speed rail project.
In two years, he thought of almost every method he could think of.
Not to mention the common things in shopping malls like treating guests with gifts, bribery, and doing what they want, he has already tried even some extremely unconventional methods.
But for a long time, there was no progress in this work.
Indian officials are too poor, and the locals are also too poor.
Putting aside whether the government is willing to invest, even if it is built, who will do it? Can the cost be recovered?
This is a common problem that plagues both parties. To solve this problem, we must reduce costs.
——
However, Kawasaki Corporation disagreed.
As a result, the project matters were delayed again and again, and there was no progress.
Until two months ago.
The official start of construction of the Gauteng High-speed Railway has brought a huge impact to India, and the Surat High-speed Railway project has also been officially put on the agenda.
The continuous discussions gave Makino Hyoye hope. He thought that this project was inevitable.
After all, almost no other powerful company can achieve the same level of contact as Kawasaki Heavy Industries.
Whether in terms of relationships or technological penetration, they cannot compete with Kawasaki Heavy Industries.
But what he never expected was that the Indian side did not consider Kawasaki Heavy Industries at all.
They have already chosen a partner.
China!
This result was beyond Makino Hyoye's expectation, but when he thought about it again, he felt it was natural.
Compared with the lowest quotation, the most practical technology and the highest efficiency, what advantages can Kawasaki Heavy Industries have?
So, from the bottom of his heart, he had actually given up on the project.
Makino Hyouye took a long breath and drank the last sip of aloe vera juice in the cup.
Only then did he feel sick.
It turns out that in the past two years, I have been just trying to force changes.
Just like these disgusting foods and the stench that permeates the air all the time, I have never really adapted to it.
It's time to leave too.
After finishing this meal, please submit a transfer application to the headquarters.
Although, that is almost equivalent to admitting one's failure, but so what?
It would not be a shame to lose to such a powerful opponent.
He pushed the plate in front of him and stood up, and was about to turn around and walk back to the hotel, but at this moment, the cell phone in his pocket rang.
After hesitating for a moment, Makino Hyoye took out his mobile phone, and the number displayed on it was completely within his expectation.
It's a call from the headquarters.
They just want to push themselves and make themselves work harder.
How ridiculous.
They have never been to this land, but they always command themselves to do this and that from a high position.
With such an attitude, why should you compete with others?
Makino Hyoye took a breath and answered the phone.
"I'm Makino."
"Yes, yes, that's right, they have chosen China and have started contacting it."
"Our chances are slim."
"Continue to visit? No, there is no need. I am about to report this news to you, and I plan to apply for transfer back to the headquarters."
"What?!"
"Are you sure this is true?"
"understand!"
"I will contact them immediately! Yes! I understand and will never be exposed!"
"I will make them feel that they are worth their money! I will discuss the specific strategies with you again!"
After hanging up the phone, the depressed look on Makino Hyouye's face disappeared.
A sudden turn of events.
He never imagined that what he had worked hard for so long would actually come true in such an incredible way.
A few hours later, Makino Hyouha finally met the man who had changed his destiny to some extent.
Tan Xian, business representative from China Railway Group.
As soon as the two met, Tan Xian warmly greeted him, held Makino Hyouye's hand, and started chatting with him in proficient English.
Makino Hyouye was naturally not blunt. After the two exchanged pleasantries, Tan Xian said with some emotion:
