If the Transportation Bureau wants to complete the task of dredging the Northwest within three years and create achievements before the change of leadership, it must resolve construction difficulties and speed up progress.
The route has been surveyed, but the cost is high and a fully state-owned investment would be too large, so a semi-private approach was considered.
Moreover, Jinhao had money and technology, and this had already spread among the higher-ups. That was why they quickly approved the dedicated line that Lu Guansheng requested and put forward such a condition.
"Uncle, you have a lot of construction teams, right?" Lu Guansheng looked at the copy and suddenly asked this.
"What do you mean, kid? Pulling me into this?"
"Get in the water? No! I want to get you to make money together!"
"I love to hear that! How do you make money?"
"Tell them that I, Lawrence Lu, am short of manpower, so I'm looking for your Qian Kun to invest together. We'll each hold 30%, and we'll split the profits equally."
"You're suppressing them by another 10%?" The original plan was to split the profits 50-50, but with this, the other party only gets 40%. Would you agree to this?
"Are you going to disband your construction team after it's finished? There are so many people!" Lu Guansheng looked up. "I've thought about it. These people will be responsible for maintenance and repairs, which is considered a long-term investment. This will save them a lot of expenses and operational troubles."
For this route, the shipping bureau only needs to be responsible for collecting invoices and hiring a few drivers and counter staff, and it can collect 40% of the profit, which is actually a profit!
Anyone with a little financial sense will basically not refuse.
"Then what are you doing?"
"The rails are mine, the technology is mine, the trains are mine, what else do I need to do? Just collect the money!"
He, Lu Guansheng, built the railway without human labor, so there is no follow-up. How smart!
"You really know how to be a hands-off emperor!"
But it's also true that this way Qiankun solves the problem of personnel placement in the later stage, Jinhao's large initial investment can be gradually recovered, and the Shipping Bureau's performance can be improved. It's a very profitable thing!
"Uncle, I think we can open two routes!" Lu Guansheng put down the tablet and had a new idea.
"You think the money is too much?" One is already a huge sum of money, two? A snake swallowing an elephant?
"Parallel routes, one for passenger transport and one for cargo transport." Lu Guansheng analyzed.
Passenger routes only solve the problem of people moving around. The fundamental goal of connecting the Northwest is to achieve sustainable development.
What is called development, isn’t it the barrier-free flow of goods for enterprises?
If freight routes are developed at the same time, it won’t be a one-step process where the investment can be immediately reaped!
"Uncle, you have a wide network of contacts. Do you know anyone in the Industry and Commerce Bureau? Let them invest in the new freight route and get the same share of the profits?"
“And you knew they would invest?”
"The Shipping Bureau has achieved great results. Isn't the Industry and Commerce Bureau jealous?" Lu Guansheng raised his eyebrows and smiled evilly.
"You kid! Your psychology studies were not in vain!" Qian Jiujin smiled.
