Chapter 2452 Let Daxia do the dirty work!
Xiao Yinghua wants her third brother to purchase equipment from Sakura Country, but Old Immortal Mo has his own plans.
Mo Xian wanted to take this opportunity to turn the high-speed rail into a monkey.
Just like Daxia, it not only built the high-speed railway, but also kept the technology for itself, and can then use the technology to build high-speed railways for other countries to make money.
Of course, the difference is that Daxia Kingdom actually uses money to buy technology, but it’s different for Brother San!
Brother San wants the money; Brother San wants the technology; you guys contribute money and effort to the project.
According to Mo Xian's plan, when the project is finally completed, the Monkey Kingdom will not only not pay any money, but will also be able to get the Shinkansen technology for free!
Isn't this wonderful?
Therefore, since the construction of the first railway started in 2017, India has repeatedly deceived Chinese companies in bidding, frantically lowering the base price, and finally causing the bid to fail.
For example, India plans to purchase 24 bullet trains, with the cost price of one train being about 100 billion.
Five Sakura companies, including the Sakura Railway Department and Kawasaki Heavy Industries, submitted bids.
What surprised all Sakura Enterprises was that the base price given by the third brother was 80 billion!!!
Xiao Yinghua collapsed immediately and went to find her third brother to explain for a long time.
"Our cost alone is close to 100 billion, and you only offer 80 billion. We can't do it! If we win the bid, not only will we not make any money, but we will even have to spend 20 billion per car.
If there were 24 cars, we would have lost 480 billion just for the cars, not to mention other expenses!"
When the person in charge of the third brother heard this, he shrugged and said nonchalantly: "I'm just an employee. If you have any problems, please report them to my superiors."
In desperation, Sakura Enterprise had to ask the then emperor Abe Fumio to have a good talk with Mo Xian.
Abe Fumio had no choice but to bite the bullet and fly to the Monkey Kingdom in person to discuss the matter with Mo Xian.
After all, this is a big business involving trillions of GDP. If it is successful, Sakura Country will not only be able to suppress Daxia, the infrastructure maniac, but also make the economy take off again.
Abe Fumio told Mo Xian everything: "Old Xian, isn't our price too outrageous?
If they can’t even make a profit from the cost price, how can any company be willing to do it?”
Mo Xian slowly recounted his third brother's twisted logic: "The production cost of the bullet train in Sakura Country is 100 billion.
However, if it were produced in the Monkey King Kingdom, the cost would only be 60 billion!
Therefore, the reserve price of 80 billion that we gave is completely reasonable.
You still have 20 billion profit margins!"
When Abe Fumio heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.
Good guy!
This guy is trying to force the Sakura Country to hand over its technology to the Monkey King!
Come to the Monkey Kingdom to produce?
This means you want to eat and take everything, leaving nothing behind!
Abe Fumio immediately said: "It is not my decision to build a factory in the Monkey Kingdom. I will discuss it with the company after I return."
Fumio Abe went back and thought about it carefully for a long time.
Now there are only two paths in front of Sakura people:
The first is to accept the request of the third brother and move all Sakura companies related to the Shinkansen to Shenhou to build factories for production.
But once the Monkey King learns the technology, he will definitely turn against us, and it will be equivalent to adding a new competitor to Sakura Enterprise with much lower labor costs than Daxia.
This is shooting yourself in the foot!
Second, do not accept the third brother’s request.
In this case, the Monkey God will definitely continue to create trouble for Sakura Enterprise on the issue of bidding. Anyway, the Monkey God is not in a hurry. Third Brother has a low-interest loan from Sakura, so he has plenty of time to waste.
Fumio Abe felt that he was trapped in a "pig-killing scheme" and would be cheated no matter which choice he made.
What’s even more infuriating is that when Abe Fumio ended his visit, Mo Xian suddenly asked: “According to the agreement, should the fourth installment of the loan be given?”
Abe Fumio forced himself to smile and reluctantly approved tens of billions of dollars in loans.
After the Sakura Man left, the Indian media praised him, saying that the cooperation between the Monkey King and the Sakura Country has reached a new level and the strategic mutual trust between the two sides is constantly increasing.
As for the Sakura Country, it remains silent.
After working on the high-speed rail project in Monkey Kingdom for so long, what have they gained?
The funds for the entire high-speed rail project were all advanced by the Sakura Kingdom, which means that the Monkey Kingdom hardly needed to spend a penny during the entire construction process, and all the risks and financial pressures were transferred to the little Sakura.
Not only that, the Sakura Country even approved hundreds of billions of low-interest loans to the Monkey Country!
Land acquisition, route design, bidding and other aspects are all progressing extremely slowly!
Now the Monkey Kingdom has proposed an even more demanding condition: while building the high-speed railway, the construction party must also provide the Monkey Kingdom with a full set of high-speed railway technology. This is undoubtedly asking the construction party to "teach the apprentice and starve the master to death", handing over its core technology to others. For any company, this is unacceptable.
As for making money...
Fumio Abe asked Mo Xian how he planned to pay for the construction.
What made him laugh and cry was that Mo Xian said that after the high-speed rail project was completed, the construction fee would not be paid directly, but instead the profits from 30 years of operation would be used to pay.
This means that the Sakura Country will have to bear huge financial pressure, and even if the high-speed rail operation is profitable, it will take up to 30 years to recover the cost.
What’s worse is that the operator is the Monkey King Kingdom!!!
It is difficult for the Sakura Country to effectively monitor profitability!
In addition, ticket evasion has become a daily occurrence for Indians, and the poor simply cannot afford to take the high-speed rail, so it is almost a foregone conclusion that the costs cannot be recovered.
At this point, everyone in Sakura Country had realized that they had been deceived by the third brother.
They began to think about how to withdraw from the Monkey Kingdom in a dignified manner.
Fumio Abe went back and gathered all the people in the company to hold a meeting to discuss the matter.
After much discussion, a solution that was most popular was soon born!
"Subcontract the Monkey King's high-speed rail project to the Daxia people! The Daxia people will be responsible for construction and procurement, as well as handling various difficult matters."
As soon as this proposal was put forward, it was passed almost unanimously.
Because the benefits of doing so are obvious!
First of all, the efficiency of the Daxia engineering team is very high and is recognized as the best in the world. If the construction is subcontracted to Daxia, the first high-speed railway can be completed at least two years ahead of schedule.
Secondly, the Sakura people can retain the right to purchase equipment. Sakura Enterprise can sell the Shinkansen equipment to the Daxia Engineering Team, and then let the Daxia Engineering Team sell the equipment to the Shenhou people. Wouldn’t that be great!
This plan is equivalent to letting the Daxia people do the dirty work, and earning some equipment fees from them, and then the most difficult step of selling the equipment to the Monkey Gods is also left to the Daxia people!
