On the wharf, a gantry crane lifted a carriage off the freighter.

Looking at the carriage just unloaded, a strong smile appeared on Li Weidong's face.

Sure enough, as I expected, these are fully enclosed high-speed carriages! The Thai people don't know the goods, so it's cheaper for me. This time, it's a treasure.

The second-hand trains that Japan sent to Thailand are 183 series diesel-powered trains. This series of trains is widely used in Japan and can be regarded as the main models of Japanese diesel-powered trains.

This series of car groups has been used in Japan for decades, and it was not completely eliminated until 2016.

The performance of the 183 series is still very good, and it can be used as an express train.

Japan's express trains can be regarded as express trains with the prefix T in China, and their speed is second only to the EMUs with the prefix D.

Before the birth of the Shinkansen, limited express trains were also the fastest trains in Japan. At that time, the speed of Japanese express trains had already reached the highest speed of the fourth major speed increase of China Railway.

Although the 183 series is an outdated product decades ago in Japan, it is still an advanced good thing for Southeast Asian countries.

For China, if it was more than ten years ago, the 183 series of trains would be regarded as treasures, and it is not uncommon in the 21st century.

In the early 1990s, there were still many coal-burning steam trains on China's railways. At this time, the diesel-powered locomotives of the 183 series were more useful to China. Remember the URL m.xbeqge. com

Then China began to phase out steam locomotives on a large scale and replaced them with internal combustion powered locomotives, and began to speed up trains. Basically, when the train speed was increased for the third time in 2000, Japan's 183-type train was no longer attractive to China.

However, the fully enclosed carriages used by Japanese express trains still have a lot to learn from for China.

At that time, China could not build high-speed train carriages. The most advanced 25T carriage in China was authorized and manufactured by Bombardier in Canada. The prototype of this carriage was the Belgian L11 high-speed train.

In terms of train technology, Bombardier is not even a first-line echelon of high-speed trains.

In terms of high-speed rail technology in later generations, China's Fuxing is obviously the world's first, surpassing the Japanese standard and European standard, followed by Japan's Shinkansen, and then the European standard, including France's Alstom and Germany's Siemens. and many more.

As for Bombardier, it sold the train business to France's Alstom for $7 billion.

That is to say, at that time, the most advanced 25T-type carriage in China could only be regarded as an international second-tier product.

At that time, Japan's railway technology was the world's first, and it was much more advanced than Bombardier, not only in terms of the performance of the train set, but also in the comfort and stability of the carriages, especially in many detail designs.

When it comes to the details, there is really no country in the world that can compare with Japan.

So when he was in Thailand, Li Weidong learned that Japan sent Thailand a 183 series train, which was replaced by a 700 series Shinkansen, and immediately realized that this might be a batch of obsolete express trains.

At that time, Li Weidong decided to get the carriage.

The locomotives of Japanese express trains are not rare in China. In a few years, China will enter the era of high-speed rail. At that time, who will care about Japan's outdated diesel-powered locomotives!

But the carriage of the express train was what Li Weidong liked. In particular, the carriages of the fully enclosed trains have a lot of detailed designs, which are indeed top-notch in the world and not found in China.

...

Chen Yonghua looked at the carriages in front of him with a look of bewilderment.

Seeing Li Weidong approaching, Chen Yonghua immediately greeted him and asked, Boss, what are you doing with these train cars? Do we still need to build train cars for the Fukang project?

I want to do it, but do we have the ability! This is a train car, and it can't be done without 30 years of technical accumulation. Li Weidong pointed to one of the cars, and then asked, Chen Gong, Can you take it apart?

I can't build it, and I can't dismantle it! Chen Yonghua stopped his chest, and then said: I'm not bragging, but any machinery, even if I get an aircraft carrier, I can dismantle it!

Li Weidong went on to say: Then take down a carriage first. I want to figure out the layout of the ventilation system inside.

Ventilation system? Chen Yonghua was stunned and asked subconsciously, Are we going to do related research and development?

Li Weidong nodded: I hope we can master the ventilation system of the car, but don't worry, we can fully understand this technology in the next three years.

If it's just a ventilation system, it won't take that long. Chen Yonghua then asked: But if we master this technology, what's the use?

Li Weidong did not answer directly, but instead asked: Chen Gong, have you ever been on the train?

Chen Yonghua nodded, and Li Weidong then asked, Have you ever met someone who eats instant noodles on the train?

I've seen people eating sandwiches in the subway. Chen Yonghua smiled and continued; But when I work overtime, I often make instant noodles, and the whole laboratory is full of instant noodles, so I can imagine that in the subway, What does it taste like when you eat instant noodles?

Li Weidong went on to say: Even if you want to smell less instant noodles when you take the train, you have to get a powerful compartment ventilation system!

...

There are many detailed designs in Japanese cars that are not found in other countries. Among them, the most valued by Li Weidong is the ventilation system of the car.

When it comes to building trains, Li Weidong really doesn't have the technology. Even if he manufactures carriages alone, these companies in Li Weidong's hands cannot do it.

This kind of thing, a train, seems to be a piece of iron, but it is not easy to manufacture. If you want to successfully build a train, you need at least the support of a whole set of heavy industry systems. And an advanced train must have a complete industrial supply chain behind it.

Therefore, the companies in the world that can build trains are all in countries with relatively developed heavy industry. Without sufficient heavy industry support, they can only import parts from other countries to assemble a train.

Which of the few companies that manufacture trains in China is not a product of the national system, but even so, they still need to import advanced technology and parts from foreign countries.

For example, when the Qinghai-Tibet Railway was first opened to traffic, the trains that entered Tibet at that time used engines produced by General Motors in the United States.

But if it's just a cabin ventilation system, it's within Li Weidong's ability.

The ventilation system of the domestic car is a bad one. In the old green leather car, the ventilation was all by opening the windows, and the few vents on the roof were at most an air outlet, which had little effect on the air circulation in the car.

During the Spring Festival travel season, crowded in the carriage of the green leather train, it is really mixed taste, eating instant noodles with the smell of stinky feet, and digging the feet with the smell of instant noodles, it is a daily operation, sitting on green leather for a few hours Car, many years of old rhinitis can be cured.

Later, although the carriage was upgraded, the effect was still not much better. At least a box of instant noodles was soaked in, and the whole carriage could smell it.

Even in the first few years of the high-speed rail era, the ventilation system of domestic trains was not much better. In the old high-speed rail cars, the ventilation system only works when running. Once the train stopped, the people in the carriage fainted due to lack of oxygen, which was all reported in the news.

In recent years, with the upgrading of China's high-speed rail technology, the problem of the ventilation system has been improved, and the comfort in the car has also improved a lot. The new domestic ventilation technology can complete the ventilation in the car in five minutes. Even if you eat instant noodles, the taste will basically dissipate after ten minutes.

In the era when China's high-speed rail has not yet risen, Japan's car ventilation system is ahead of the world.

Europeans and Americans are basically indifferent to the smell in the car. Americans have long been surprised by all kinds of excrement and urine in the New York subway.

The Japanese like to pick up details, and even the booing of urination has to be covered up with music. With the Japanese personality, of course, they can't stand the odor in the car, so the Japanese car has a very advanced ventilation system in the design. It was also unique in the world at the time.

This set of second-hand carriages bought by Li Weidong is itself a closed carriage, and the ventilation system of the carriage is also specially designed.

...

The front of the office building was decorated with lanterns, surrounded by a group of people eating melons, and the banner behind it read Dongshan Real Estate Establishment Ribbon Cutting Ceremony in big characters.

Since they plan to enter the real estate industry, they naturally have to set up a company, so Li Weidong and Zhao Jinshan each paid ordinary money and established Dongshan Real Estate.

In addition, Li Weidong also incorporated the team that previously developed wholesale malls in Qinghe into Dongshan Real Estate.

The leader of this team is Ma Bin, the second son of Ma Zhongyi. He has been with Ma Zhongyi for many years and has a certain experience in real estate development.

Now Ma Zhongyi is in a state of retirement. After all, he is old and has three highs, so he can't work as hard as he did when he was young.

Fortunately, Ma Zhongyi's three sons are more competitive. They followed Ma Zhongyi in the business field and learned some business skills. Among them, this Ma Bin is the best.

Ma Bin was not outstanding in his studies when he was a child, but he had great leadership skills and was the king of children in the village. When he grew up, Ma Bin was also good at interpersonal relationships, and wherever he went, he had a group of friends who called him brothers.

It is for this reason that Li Weidong asked Ma Bin to be in charge of real estate development.

At this time, Ma Bin was also at the scene, busy with the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Seeing Li Weidong approaching, Ma Bin immediately greeted him and said, Uncle Li, the ribbon-cutting ceremony will be ready soon.

Li Weidong nodded and said, Ma Bin, we have changed to a strange environment, we need to get used to it as soon as possible. Also, we need to get on well with the person over there in Zhao Jinshan.

Zhao Jinshan's nephew came back from studying abroad. I'm sure it's that kind of foreign ink drinker. You can accommodate him and let him be a little more.

Ma Bin nodded: Don't worry, Uncle Li, I understand!

Li Weidong sent Ma Bin to be in charge of Dongshan Real Estate, and Zhao Jinshan naturally had to send someone, so Zhao Jinshan sent his wife's nephew.

The nephew went to the United States after graduating from high school and has just received a master's degree.

With Zhao Jinshan's family background, his wife is naturally not a commoner, and her nephew also has the money to study abroad.

Ma Bin didn't even go to university. He got a diploma in high school and started doing business with Ma Zhongyi. He belongs to the low-educated practice school.

Zhao Jinshan's nephew graduated with a master's degree from a famous foreign university, but he has never been in charge of actual business, and belongs to the theoretical school of high education.

When the low-level practical school and the high-level theoretical school meet, it is inevitable that some friction will arise. So Li Weidong gave Ma Bin a vaccination in advance.

At this time, Zhao Jinshan also walked over from a distance.

Brother Li, recently, the price of coal has risen again. To be honest, I'm a little flustered by this price rise! Zhao Jinshan said.

If you say that you lose money in business, you will be flustered, but now that we are making money, why are you flustered? Li Weidong asked.

I don't know, I always feel that the money is too fast, it's too simple, and it's a little unreliable. Zhao Jinshan said.

Energy prices have always been cyclical. Coal prices have risen sharply now, and they may fall back in a year or a half. Li Weidong comforted.

In Li Weidong's memory, this round of price cycle, the real surge started in the second half of 2007, and reached its peak in the second half of 2008. In just one year, the price of coal has more than tripled.

Subsequently, the subprime mortgage crisis broke out in the United States. Under the influence of the international situation, the price of coal fell back to the price in the second half of 2007 within three months, which was a roller coaster.

At the same time, the country also began to import coal on a large scale to stabilize the price of domestic coal. So in 2009, China, the world's largest coal producer, became a net coal importer.

After that, there was another round of rising. Until 2011, the income of the coal industry reached a peak of 3.25 trillion yuan, accounting for 6.5% of the GDP in the same period.

Then the price of the media began to fall, until it bottomed out in 2015, and then it was a cycle of rebound. It began to stabilize in 2017, and the overall income of the entire coal industry was basically maintained at about 3% of GDP.

It is precisely because of the cyclical factor of coal prices that coal bosses are actually not afraid of short-term losses.

It's just that with the increase in coal imports, it will be difficult for domestic coal bosses to get rich overnight.

Li Weidong was introducing the periodicity of coal prices to Zhao Jinshan, and Ma Bin hurried over.

Mr. Zhao and Li Dong, I just received a call. The leaders who were supposed to come to our ribbon-cutting ceremony, I'm afraid they won't be able to come. Ma Bin said.

Is something wrong? Could there be a problem with any mine? Zhao Jinshan asked subconsciously.

It's not the mine. Ma Bin continued: It is said that the leader's car was blocked on the expressway because of the foggy weather, and he couldn't get off the expressway for a while.

It's foggy! Zhao Jinshan nodded, and then said: Recently, the fog has been quite heavy, and I often wake up early in the morning, and the visibility is only two or three hundred meters. When you look at the sky, it still feels foggy. Foggy!

Li Weidong looked into the distance, then shook his head and sighed: This is not fog, this is smog!
