975. Who will tell the merits and demerits (2)
Just talking about the Tsar, many people say that he was an anti-corruption official with a strong fist, but he didn't know how ridiculous this argument was.
Speaking of him, he is also a two-sided character. First of all, under such difficult circumstances at that time, he implemented a series of reforms to make the domestic economy soft, which was indeed a great achievement.
However, the hidden dangers he left behind also caused the Chinese people in later generations to suffer a lot. For example, the three major reforms he advocated, housing reform, medical reform and education reform, have become the three new mountains that have been weighed on the Chinese people ten years later.
Although it cannot be said that it is all his fault, at least he has to take on 50% responsibility for these mistakes.
The most funny thing is that some people say he is honest and anti-corruption, which is what makes many angry young people feel the most ridiculous.
If he is really as honest as he said, then do those so-called angry young patriots and the 50 cents know how the Hong family's world came into being?
For example, his son, in the central clan mansion, created a tuition fee that he frequently paid abroad. In the years of the financial crisis alone, he threw out more than one billion US dollars in tuition fees abroad, and he licked his face and offered himself an annual salary of over 100 million yuan?
Talking about his daughter, who works as an executive in a listed state-owned enterprise in Xiangjiang, how much money can she make from China every year through policies?
And where did the Jingcheng Bank share in his grandson come from?
If the old man is really so honest and hates evil phenomena like corruption, then please send his son, grandson, and daughter to eat peanuts first.
And after he came to power, he claimed to reform the State Council, lay off redundant staff, and streamline the institutions. The result was that it seemed like a joke, just a big talk politician.
Of course, compared with the actor who likes Duonan Xingbang after him, he is still quite capable. As for the one behind him, everyone can only laugh.
After saving the people, Minister Wang laid off fifty branches overnight and had more than 10,000 redundant personnel. Such a pragmatic approach is much better than those who only know how to shout slogans.
Of course, his ending was much more miserable. After all, he did practical things, but he offended people.
If you say that, let’s go back to this high-speed rail project, if you can avoid the constraints of highways and aviation, in terms of pricing mechanism, go back to the original mechanism, even if it is slightly increased by a few percentage points to be as friendly as possible to achieve the people.
Then some people have estimated that with the same capacity, the transportation cost of high-speed rail will be one-sixth of the road and one-quarter of the air transportation.
Under the current population base of our country, from a long-term perspective, investing in the construction of high-speed rail will still be very effective in the future.
After all, we cannot travel long-rangely by planes and cars like the United States or Europe. After all, our population base and the world's resource capacity do not allow us to be as luxurious as they do.
For example, when the Japanese started to build the Shinkansen, they started operating at a loss all the way, and it took about ten years. When the conditions in all aspects were ripe, the power of the Shinkansen began to be exerted and became one of the most profitable major public projects in Japan.
The future of high-speed rail is the same in China. Not to mention high-speed rail, just talk about high-speed rail. When I first started, every time I looked at the so-called harmony number, and there were empty rows of rows whizzing past on the railway, Li Yifan would have millions of grass and mud horses whizzing past in his heart.
This is the bastard who has done engineering projects, and there are no ones at all. Isn’t this a waste?
However, within a few years, this project as a preliminary verification was replaced by a complete high-speed rail. After a few years, the attendance rate of high-speed rail began to increase frequently. Although it was still losing money, it had gradually emerged from the situation of losses. At this time, Li Yifan's thoughts were independent and mature, and he gradually understood the benefits of starting this high-speed rail.
At that time, he had to admire Minister Wang for how he was under tremendous pressure to carry out this high-speed rail project.
Speaking of real high-speed rail, the French started working in the 1950s. The first time they opened to traffic in the 1950s was around 250s. In 1955, the speed of electric locomotives was at the time of opening, and it once reached 320 kilometers per hour. Now the operating speed of the TVG high-speed rail in France is generally around 300 kilometers per hour.
The Shinkansen in Japan had already reached 160 kilometers per hour in 1980.
The ICE series of high-speed railways opened to traffic in Germany in 1991 have maintained a speed of about 250 kilometers per hour since its operation.
And don’t we, the past ministers of the Railway Department, know about these?
However, before Minister Wang took office, he had no effect. It can be said that the domestic railways at that time, that is, since the establishment of the country, had not changed much.
When Minister Wang took office, the average speed of railways nationwide was maintained at about 80 kilometers per hour.
Although there were once so-called direct routes, express, etc., and they have repeatedly claimed to speed up, even the speed of the railway after speedup can be imagined as long as you have taken the train.
In terms of high-speed railways, ministers before Minister Wang have made attempts. In 1994, we introduced scattered trains from Sweden and conducted 160 kilometers of tests on a railway line in eastern Guangdong Province.
But even so, in the next ten years, our country's railway transportation was still blank and there was no action at all.
At that time, what did the officials of the Railway Department do?
On the other hand, after Minister Wang came to power, he proposed the idea of starting a high-speed railway. After he put forward these ideas, what did the experts from the Railway Department take the lead?
The wheel and rail faction and the magnetic levitation faction were the first to form a group. The two groups had different opinions and had their own opinions, and finally even brought the lawsuit to the Two Sessions.
In the end, even several important leaders of the country were alarmed. When they asked what you were going to do, these experts were all very aggressive, just asking for money and asking for money to verify, which kind of motivation is the best?
But what about the many years of foreign high-speed rail experiences? The wheel and rail sect has proved that the magnetic levitation in Puhai has been proved. It is just a gimmick. You are still making a fuck, and you still have to prove it?
In the end, Minister Wang was so angry that he simply threw them aside and started the project by himself. My project was not called a high-speed rail at the beginning, but it was called the transportation service team.
As a result, the high-speed rail was finally created, and these paper experts were forced to suffer losses. Isn’t it just to ask for money?
I don’t give you money!
Moreover, in terms of technology introduction, Minister Wang was also extremely strong, and he forced himself to break a few pieces of teeth from the mouths of those foreigners.
After so many years, when domestic people say they want to introduce advanced foreign technologies, they are often fooled regardless of the east, south, west and north. In addition, some people who have taken kickbacks make trouble for you, and in the end they often end up losing their wife and soldiers.
The simplest example is the domestic automobile industry. It has been many years of market exchange technology, but decades have passed, but the domestic automobile manufacturing companies have only received a few independent private enterprises that can save face.
On the other hand, state-owned enterprises that countries have always supported have become unaffordable A Dou, becoming colonies of foreign-funded cars, becoming assembly workshops for others, and helping foreigners to cheat the money of ordinary people in China.
When Minister Wang was going to introduce foreign high-speed rail technology, he had a group of people around him, just advised him to be almost the same. Anyway, it was the country's money, so he could get a sky-high rebate from foreigners.
But Minister Wang refused to do it and forced himself to draw a red line for these foreign companies that were preparing to cooperate with him. If you want to do the high-speed rail business in China, you must transfer core technology, otherwise we will be free from negotiations.
And in terms of price, you must follow mine, otherwise we won’t talk.
The Germans who have been scattered in the business world of China for decades have long been spoiled by Chinese stupid consumers and incompetent officials. When they hear your rules, they won’t miss you on the spot.
When the high-speed rail technology transfer bidding, people drove each prototype car at the beginning 3500 million yuan and the technology transfer fee was a sky-high price of 3900 million euros.
This time, we Chinese were rarely tough during the negotiations, and there were no such Germans. During the bidding the next day, the French, Japanese, and even Canadians won the bid, and only the Germans won the bid.
In the end, the first time Siemens's guy retreated in panic in China, and the arrogant German guy in charge of this negotiation was directly recalled to the German headquarters the next day of the tender and ate a large portion of fried squid rice on the spot.
And in the second year, when the second technical bidding was launched, the Germans did not dare to be as arrogant as before.
During the second bid, the price offered by the Germans was much lower than their previous price. Before we even opened our mouths, they had already offered a price we could not imagine, that is, the transfer of core technology, and they only demanded a technology transfer fee of 80 million euros...
