"Young Master, the Germanic Westgate Group just called and hopes to build our Far East railway.”
Two hours after the Far East Railroad announced the tender.
Herruff received a call from the Germanic Westgate Group.
"Ximen Group? The one who built the Intercity Express?”
"Yes, it's them." Heruff nodded.
"Then what are their prices?" Chen Nan asked the question he was most concerned about.
"They said that compared to the German cost, the Far East Railroad will reduce the profit by 10%.”
"I just asked the financial team. According to the price of the intercity express train built by West Gate, with a 10% profit reduction, the cost per kilometer is about 11.5 million USD.”
"So expensive?"
Hearing this price.
Chen Nan was stunned.
The cost of each kilometer was 11.5 million US dollars.
Didn't that mean that ten kilometers would cost him more than 100 million dollars?
This was even under the premise that West Gate Group had already reduced their profits by 10%.
However, the problem was that no matter how much money he had.
It was impossible to build it like this.
Besides...
This was only the cost of building the railway, and it did not include the money to buy the train.
If the cost of the train was included.
Wouldn't his cash flow be depleted in an instant?
Thinking of this…
Chen Nan immediately shook his head and said,
"Tell the West Gate Group that their asking price is too high. Moreover, we have people with the equipment. The price for the construction of the railway can be reduced by at least two-thirds.”
"Yes, I understand."
After Heruff left.
Chen Nan couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Did these people really think that their money was so easy to cheat?
He admitted that the railway built by the Germanic Westgate Group was indeed very good.
However, the cost was too high.
It was obvious that the West Gate Group was arrogant.
They felt that their asking price should be high because their skills were awesome.
However, according to Chen Nan's plan…
He would build a 450-kilometer intercity express train.
And a 700-kilometer freight railway.
If they really built it according to the West Gate Group's offer.
Just building a 450-kilometer intercity express train.
He would have to spend more than five billion US dollars.
If that was the case.
Even if he added up all his cash flow, he would not be able to support the construction of the Far East Railroad.
Not to mention that he had to buy a cargo train and an intercity express.
"Hmm, it seems that I need to put some pressure on the West Gate Group. Otherwise, they might have no choice but to choose them.”
He was well aware of the temperament of these western countries.
Chen Nan felt that he had to let them know what it meant to have money.
The West Gate Group's intercity express technology was indeed amazing.
But in the entire world.
It was not that there were no other companies that could compete with them.
For example, the bullet train in Japan.
One had to know.
If one were to talk about high-speed rail technology.
Japan was definitely the first to bear the brunt.
Moreover, it was back in 1964.
In other words, 30 years ago, the world's first high-speed rail was built.
He asked.
With such an existence, wouldn't he be able to become the number one competitor of the West Gate Group?
Another one.
Compared to the intercity express train, it needed a faster speed.
The speed of the cargo train did not need to be that fast.
Therefore, when Chen Nan was inviting the public to bid for the items.
He had already announced that the speed of the cargo train only needed to reach 100 kilometers per hour.
And this…
It was also the basic speed of the world's cargo trains.
After all.
The cargo train was used to carry goods.
If the speed was too fast.
Under the effect of thousands of tons of goods.
It was very easy for accidents to happen.
Therefore…
Whether it was in terms of construction or the choice of trains.
The freight railway was not as complicated as the intercity express train.
Therefore, he had no choice.
Chen Nan could settle for the second best option and choose a supplier with a lower price.
Then, the problem came.
Who else in the world had the railway technology and was cheap?
It was obvious.
Huaxia Base was a very good choice.
And he believed it.
If he took the initiative to invite China to participate in the bidding.
Huaxia Base definitely wouldn't refuse.
After all.
This was a very considerable business.
Once it was successful.
It would bring them rich foreign exchange.
Of course.
Not only would he be able to save a lot of money, but he would also be able to successfully build the Far East Railroad.
For both sides.
It was a perfect cooperation.
Thus, Chen Nan immediately called Heruff over.
"Heruff, contact Japan and China respectively and invite them to participate in the bid for the Far East Railroad.”
"Young Master, do you want them to compete with the West Gate Group?”
"Yes, these Westerners think that we can only choose them. Hmph, but they don't know that there's a saying in China that money can make the devil turn the millstone.”
"Yes, I understand. I'll contact them now.”
