Rebirth 2010: I add some points to be a boss

Zabei District, Railway Department.

Yang Zheyan pushed up the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose and glanced out of the window. He saw more than a dozen mainstream media outlets that had received the news squatting in front of the gate.

He couldn't help but smile knowingly, looked up at the secretary opposite, and asked softly: "Xiao Li, is Mr. Chen here?"

"Boss, I just checked with Mr. Chen's assistant. They will arrive around 10:[-]. Mr. Qin, Secretary Zhou and Mr. Meng will arrive in [-] minutes."

After hearing this, Xiao Li stood up slowly and replied in an orderly manner.

"Remind me after 15 minutes."

Yang Zheyan nodded slightly, gave instructions to his secretary, then lowered his head and continued to flip through the documents at hand.

As one of the eighteen railway departments in Greater China, the Shanghai-Chengdu Railway Department has jurisdiction over the entire Jiangnan Province, ranks first in number of EMUs, and is responsible for passenger and freight transportation in East China.

It has both high-speed rail lines with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour and high-speed rail lines with a speed of 200 kilometers per hour, connecting the north and south and running through the east and west.

Among them, the passenger volume of EMUs accounts for as high as 60.9%. The problem that comes with it is that there are fewer and fewer regular-speed trains. Green trains with slow speed, long journey and low fares seem to be gradually withdrawing from the lives of ordinary people. .

However, the actual demand still exists!

Although China's industry, commerce and manufacturing have achieved rapid development in the past five years and created a large number of jobs, low-income people still account for a high proportion.

Therefore, after Shanhai Group provided 20 high-rise housing units, [-] single-family villas, and high-quality education and medical conditions, it immediately attracted tens of thousands of Chinese, who traveled across the ocean one after another to go there. Chad worked, lived and settled.

Therefore, netizens continue to respond that the price of train tickets in Dahua District is rising higher and higher, calling on the railway company to open more low-price routes.

Faced with this situation, Yang Zheyan was not unaware, but he also had unspeakable difficulties in his heart.

The construction costs of high-speed railways include land acquisition fees, railway lines, bridges, tunnels, stations, EMU trains and related equipment. The cost per kilometer ranges from 1.2 million to 2.5 million Chinese dollars. There are 2.9 kilometers of high-speed rail in the country. At least five to six trillion Chinese dollars are needed.

In other words, China chose high-speed rail between the two modes of travel, high-speed rail and airplane, in order to alleviate the pressure on passenger and freight transportation in Greater China.

After all, around the Spring Festival, National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, there are often many passengers who cannot buy train tickets.

On the one hand, passengers want to reduce prices, and on the other hand, railway companies want to recoup their costs. Coupled with the popularization of new energy trams and electric large aircraft, some users have been taken away from the railway companies.

Therefore, the dilemma facing the railway company is: how to continue to expand the volume and frequency of transportation under the current circumstances, so as to recover the construction costs as soon as possible.

Lowering the price is a good solution and everyone will be happy!

Because for short and medium-distance travel within a thousand kilometers, if there is no time requirement, driving or flying is obviously more convenient and cost-effective.

For example, driving a Mi Youth electric car from Shanghai to Lucheng, a distance of about 160 kilometers, requires only 300 kilowatt-hours of electricity. Including tolls, the cost is only 400-100 Chinese dollars. Evenly divided, per capita Only [-] Chinese dollars.

If you take a Yujia C500 Airbus, the ticket price is 300 Chinese dollars, and the aircraft construction fee is 50 Chinese dollars, totaling 350 Chinese dollars. Although it is more than ten yuan more expensive than the high-speed rail, the trip length is shortened by one hour. Hour.

In short, in terms of price, high-speed rail is not as cost-effective as driving; in terms of speed, high-speed rail is not as cost-effective as airliners, and we suddenly fell into an extremely embarrassing situation.

If the Shanhai Group is suppressed and the Railways Department has no confidence, not only Mr. Meng and Mr. Li will support it, but even the big bosses from the Power Supply Department, Petroleum Department and Aviation Department will not sit idly by.

Fortunately, the cold nuclear reactor test was successful, and clean and efficient power resources instantly became worthless, giving the railway company a glimmer of hope.

Price reduction!

Completely drive down the price of train tickets!

The first round of pilot areas was selected in East China. Shanhai Power Supply Company supplies power resources to the Shanghai-Chengdu Railway Department and promises an ultra-low price of 0.2 Chinese dollars/kWh.

You must know that the electricity price paid by the railway company was only 0.8 Chinese dollars/kWh. Of course, the operating costs cannot be lowered. Once the cost of power resources drops, the high-speed rail fares will also decrease accordingly.

Electricity expenses account for 7%-10% of the price of a train ticket. In other words, as long as nuclear power resources are used instead, EMU fares across the country can be reduced by more than 5%.

Half an hour later, Xiao Li looked at the clock and then whispered: "Boss, it's eight forty."

Yang Zheyan immediately came back to his senses, flicked the dust off his jacket, and walked towards the elevator with his head held high.

In late winter, the cold wind is like a knife, adding a cold and damp smell.

The reporters gathered outside the door stamped their feet, rubbed their hands, and shrank their heads from time to time. They would rather be blown by the cold wind than stay in the warm and comfortable hall.

Seeing this, Yang Zheyan couldn't help but shook his head, walked out, said hello in a gentle tone, and then stood firm, ready to greet Mr. Qin.

After a while, a low-key and restrained Hongqi car drove slowly, followed by several Volkswagen and rice trams.

"Crack-!"

Accompanied by Zhou An, Mr. Qin walked over, followed by Meng Junmin from the Metro Department.

"Mr. Qin, thank you for your hard work! This small signing ceremony was really helpful to you."

Yang Zheyan took two steps quickly and greeted with a smile.

"The cooperation between Zheyan and Shanhai Group is not a small matter. It has benefited three provinces and one city in East China. Future generations will always remember your contribution."

Mr. Qin smiled faintly, patted Yang Zheyan on the shoulder and sighed.

Breaking the rules and touching on deep-seated interests is tantamount to pulling chestnuts from the fire.

Even though Mr. Meng's support was indispensable behind the scenes, Yang Zheyan dared to take over this business and became the first railway company to connect to the Shanhai Power Supply Company. It was naturally rare and valuable.

"Mr. Qin is overly rewarded. Zheyan is just an executor. The ability to achieve what we have today mainly depends on Mr. Qin's strong command and the generosity of Shanhai Group."

Yang Zheyan was all smiles and refused to take any credit.

While praising Mr. Qin, he also did not forget to praise Shanhai Group!

Given his status, he has heard more or less rumors about the Thor H-20NF, Hornet T-1NF and Qinglong D-100NF fighter jets launched by the North China Military Research Institute, the second-generation 'Sentinel' combat robot, and the new nuclear weapons The power cruiser and the aircraft carrier Zhurong both have the participation of Shanhai Group.

A company that is unfathomable and attracts high-level attention is no longer pure.

He didn't want to cause trouble, so he naturally wanted to take care of everything.

"Mr. Yang, Shanhai Group is a private enterprise. All it seeks is profit, but it is not worthy of your praise."

At this moment, Chen Heyu walked slowly over with Moss, Ding Mo and Alina.

"Haha, I just talked about Mr. Chen and Shanhai Group. I didn't expect Mr. Chen to be here. Nice to meet you! Thank you Mr. Chen for your care and support to the Shanghai-Chengdu Railway Department!"

Yang Zheyan smiled and said with great caution, holding Chen Heyu's hand enthusiastically.

"Mr. Yang, you are serious."

Chen Heyu dealt with it skillfully.

"Okay, let's do business first. Let Zheyan arrange a table at noon. You can chat slowly."

Mr. Qin waved his hand and interrupted the two of them directly.

"Then just listen to Mr. Qin."

Chen Heyu didn't take it seriously, smiled calmly, and then walked side by side with Mr. Qin. Yang Zheyan took half a step forward, and Zhou An and Meng Junmin were one step behind, walking into the Railway Department step by step.

"Crackling!"

The shutter and flashlight in the reporter's hands kept sounding, accurately capturing this scene.

In everyone's eyes, some were shocked, some were shocked, some were puzzled, and some looked calm with sudden realization.

In just eight years, Chen Heyu started from Shanhai Film and Television, rose from Future Technology, established himself from Shanhai Microelectronics, and consolidated his position from Yunkun Space. Shanhai Group is no longer a purely private company. In terms of number of employees, revenue and profits, even if you look at the world, it is still unique. The top consortiums in various countries are all tied together, and they are less than half of Shanhai's market value.

Therefore, when Chen Heyu and Mr. Qin were running neck and neck, the reporters not only didn't think there was anything wrong, but thought it should be like this.

After getting the first-hand pictures and video information, the next process is relatively simple. You only need to wait for Shanhai Group and the Shanghai Railway Department to sign a supply agreement and announce the price of EMU tickets for the East China region.

A group of people sat in twos and threes in the lobby on the first floor, drinking tea and waiting patiently.

In an executive conference room on the top floor, Chen Heyu, Mr. Qin, Yang Zheyan and others took their seats one after another, skipping the tedious polite greetings and going straight to the topic.

Based on previous discussions, the two parties quickly drafted the detailed terms of the purchase contract, and then handed them over to legal personnel to check for omissions and compliance, and agreed on the delivery form, delivery time and settlement cycle.

"Mr. Yang, can you let us know in advance the latest version of the railway company's pricing for train fares?"

Chen Heyu asked casually.

"Xiao Li, please submit the interim measures we discussed internally to Mr. Qin and Mr. Chen for review."

Yang Zheyan nodded, winked at the secretary, and said lightly.

"Yes, boss."

Xiao Li immediately responded. After speaking, he took out a brand new A4 paper from the folder, made in triplicate, and the contents were exactly the same.

He went around and handed the documents to Mr. Qin, Chen Heyu and Meng Junmin.

"Interim Measures for High-speed Railway Fare Adjustment in East China Region:"

"At a speed of 200km/h, the base price of a first-class seat is about 0.31 yuan/km, and the base price of a second-class seat is about 0.26 yuan/km."

"At a speed of 300km/h, the base price of a first-class seat is about 0.63 yuan/km, and the base price of a second-class seat is about 0.39 yuan/km."

Chen Heyu made a rough calculation and found that it was probably a 85% discount on the current fare.

He couldn't help but look up at Yang Zheyan, who was so courageous that he dared to take this opportunity to reduce the ticket price by 15%.

To put it simply, taking the high-speed rail prefixed with G as an example, the price of a second-class seat from Shanghai to Lucheng is 200 Chinese dollars. According to the new regulations, the ticket price will be reduced to 170 Chinese dollars;

The first-class ticket price is 330 Chinese dollars, reduced to 280 Chinese dollars;

The business class ticket price is 660 Chinese dollars, reduced to 560 Chinese dollars!

"Generally speaking, the cost is still higher than the cost of tram and plane travel."

Chen Heyu said with emotion.

"Mr. Chen, even if the price reduction is only 15%, I have spent all my energy. It is not easy. The main thing is the EMU with the prefix D, which has initially achieved a price close to the people."

Yang Zheyan thought he was dissatisfied and quickly explained.

"Mr. Yang, you misunderstood. Price reduction is important, but increasing the income of ordinary people can solve the fundamental problem."

Chen Heyu said with a smile.

"So, you join forces with Huayao, Dami and Zhongxin to force the foundry to raise wages for workers?"

Elder Qin asked.

"I do have some ideas in this regard, and judging from the results, it seems pretty good."

Chen Heyu did not shy away and answered frankly.

Nowadays, most domestic electronics manufacturing factories, whether they are foreign-funded enterprises or local private companies, have increased their basic salaries to more than 3500 Chinese dollars, and a few have even offered as high as 5000 Chinese dollars.

And strictly implement the 8-hour work system. If the production capacity cannot keep up, the only way is to add more positions.

"Zheyan, when will the temporary solution be implemented?"

Mr. Qin smiled, agreed, and turned to ask Yang Zheyan.

"At first, the headquarters' opinion was to put it into trial operation during the Spring Festival travel period, but Mr. Meng disagreed. He asked to see the effect during the New Year's Day holiday first."

Yang Zheyan slowly explained.

"Oh, is it?"

Chen Heyu took out his mobile phone, opened the ticket purchase software, entered Hucheng at the starting station, and Lucheng at the terminal station. Sure enough, he saw that the ticket price had been discounted.

Feel free to click on a version of EMU with the prefix G:

Second-class seats are priced at 170 Chinese dollars;

First-class seats are priced at 280 Chinese dollars;

Business seats are priced at 560 Chinese dollars!

And the EMU with the prefix DG:

Second-class seats are priced at 150 Chinese dollars;

The price of a first-class seat is 246 Chinese dollars!

Yang Zheyan smiled happily, clicked on an electronic document in his laptop, and introduced the next step of the Shanghai-Chengdu Railway Company to Mr. Qin and Chen Heyu.

In three stages, until January 2021, the railway fares in the Greater China Region will be reduced by fifteen points, with a total of 30% adjustment space, which will be reduced to 70% of the original fare standards.

The revenue lost by the railways will be compensated by the aviation and automobile industries, and combined with the subsidies distributed by the above, the fares of high-speed rail will be reduced in one fell swoop.

A whole morning's work went by in a blink of an eye.

Shanhai Group and the Shanghai-Chengdu Railway Department took the lead in signing a supply contract with a major customer, and are responsible for the power consumption of all EMUs in East China at a supply price of 0.2 Chinese dollars/kWh.

"Dahua Daily", "Shanghai Evening News", "East China Railway" and platforms such as Tiantian Toutiao, Souhu, Changyi and Penguin rushed to report the details of the cooperation.

"Big price reduction! The reduction exceeds 75%! Kuafu Energy Company will provide power resources to the Shanghai-Chengdu Railway Company at a low price of 0.2 Chinese dollars/kilowatt hour."

“The ticket price is as low as cabbage price, and the trip of 130 kilometers is as low as [-] Chinese dollars!”

"Implemented on New Year's Day! The number of passengers choosing railway travel increased by 26%!"

at the same time.

Kuafu Energy Company has also adjusted the electricity supply prices in North America and Europe, with increases ranging from 15% to 35%. The more power-deficient areas, the greater the increase.

For a while, European netizens were silent at first, and then protested. They just made suggestions, but Shanhai Group turned a deaf ear.

Mainly adopts the attitude of "I listen to all opinions and I won't change them anyway"!

As time goes by, everyone has acquiesced to the price increase, because if they switch to the local power supply company, their monthly electricity bills will only be higher.

The charging standards of Kuafu Energy and Shanhai Power Supply Company are already considered parity. Even if they increase by another 20%, they are still within the acceptable range.

In fact, Chen Heyu does not intend to do this. In two or three years, the electric energy production in Greater China will enter a stage of serious surplus. He needs to develop more power-consuming home appliances, digital and trading tools to further expand Application scenarios.

On the other side, the confrontation between Chad and the Cotton Country gradually became fierce, and the conflict intensified rapidly. (End of chapter)
