Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon - Vol 3 Chapter 1485
After drinking two cups of tea, Huo Jianning finally saw that Xia Yu had finished reading the information.
He couldn’t help but said: “Chairman, the think tank on the island country has quite a big disagreement on the island country’s railway reform. After the information is obtained, I will directly submit it to you, and I will not give it to the think tank for research for the time being.”
He also read this information on the way.
It is precisely because of watching that Huo Jianning can’t make a judgment.
After all, the behemoth of the island national railway is too special, so special that it makes people both greedy and daunting.
Just looking at the appearance of Chairman Xia Yu, it seemed that he had made up his mind to intervene in an instant.
Xia Yu raised his head slightly, looked at Huo Jianning who was a little bit tangled, and said with a smile: “I feel that the island nation’s national railway has too much debt? Can’t see the dawn of profit?”
Huo Jianning nodded suddenly: “Yes, the total debt of 37.1 trillion yen is indeed too much.”
What is the concept of 37.1 trillion yen in debt?
Prior to the signing of the Plaza Agreement in 1985, the U.S. dollar against the yen fluctuated around 250 yen per U.S. dollar. According to this exchange rate, the exchange rate of debt to U.S. dollars was about 148.4 billion U.S. dollars.
The Plaza Agreement has been signed for more than a year, and the yen has appreciated substantially.
The exchange rate of the U.S. dollar to the yen has reached around 145 yen per U.S. dollar.
According to this exchange rate, the exchange of debt into U.S. dollars is a staggering 255.8 billion U.S. dollars!
If this debt is thrown into Latin America and becomes the national debt of Latin American countries, it will definitely blow up a bunch of countries.
And this turned out to be just the debt of the national railway company of the island country!
Therefore, it was Huo Jianning who knew that Xia Yu was wealthy, and he was very cautious when he saw this huge debt.
“Furthermore, Chairman, the island national railway has been operating at a loss since the first Shinkansen line was built in 1964. It has been 20 years since it has risen fifteen times in the middle. The price of the Shinkansen has already faced civil aviation. There is no advantage anymore, so passenger traffic has been declining.”
“So even if the island national railway is privatized, it will be extremely difficult to operate, and the risk of cost recovery is very high.”
Huo Jianning couldn’t help but confessed his other worries.
“Haha~”
Xia Yu chuckled and said without rush: “Jianning, you are right to have this consideration. This debt is indeed amazing.”
“But you have to think about it. If this debt is still inherited by the divided railway company, then no one can dare to take over.”
“So the bulk of the 37.1 trillion yen in debt must be divided in multiple ways, and the bulk will eventually have to be passed on to the island government and spread to all islanders.”
“As for how to share it so as not to arouse resistance from the island people, this is another matter.”
“All in all, it won’t trouble those consortia, and it won’t trouble us.”
“What we have to do is to grab the best-quality railway company after the division and assume less debt.”
“The routes of the three major metropolitan areas in the prosperous area are definitely profitable. As for the Shinkansen in Hokkaido, Shikoku, and Kyushu, the Shinkansen will definitely lose money, and it will be difficult to operate even if there is no debt…”
The island nation’s Shinkansen is the world’s first commercial high-speed rail, with strong technical strength. It has been the world’s number one throne for many years. In the future generations, it will still be the world’s top three.
Therefore, Xia Yu has a lot of knowledge about the island nation’s Shinkansen.
He knew that the island nation’s national railway was divided into eleven companies in the previous life.
They are the six passenger transport companies of the East Island, the East China Sea, the West Island, Hokkaido, Shikoku, and Kyushu, as well as the national freight company, the railway communication company, the railway information system company, the comprehensive railway technology research institute, and the Shinkansen passenger railway holdings responsible for handling debts Organize these 5 companies.
Among the six passenger transport companies.
The three freight companies of East Island, East China Sea and West Island are called Honshu Sanshes.
The three passenger transport companies of Hokkaido, Shikoku, and Kyushu are called Mishima Clubs.
The three companies in Honshu cover the Tokyo metropolitan area, the Osaka metropolitan area and the Nagoya metropolitan area. These three metropolitan areas radiate outward. Because of the large passenger flow and the valuable land occupied, privatization has turned losses into profits in a few years, and easily reached 100 billion. The profit of the yen.
On the contrary, the Mishima Club is a history of blood and tears.
Actually.
Railroads can only make money in areas with high population density. In large areas with sparsely populated areas, construction and maintenance costs are high, but revenue is very low, making it difficult to make profits.
Just like the later generations of China, whether high-speed rail or subway, most of the lines are loss-making, and they are supported by the state. Most of the lines are not for making money at all, but for national economic and political considerations.
But for Xia Yu, the politics and people’s livelihood of an island country is a matter for him.
He only needs a railway company to increase the strength and influence of his consortium.
Huo Jianning understood, he thought for a while and said: “The chairman, are we going to directly participate in the design of the island national railway division?”
Xia Yu nodded immediately: “Of course you need to. You can arrange this. With our influence in the island country, it is not difficult to eat the biggest piece of cake!”
“Show me the results at regular intervals later.”
“clear!”
Subsequently, Huo Jianning retreated with Xia Yu’s instructions.
…
On the European continent.
The major consortia’s offensive against the Rohill Consortium and its allies was fierce.
Of course, this fierceness only describes the scale of business and economic warfare, and there are many and complicated battles.
But actually.
The war can be said to be overwhelming.
Even in the heyday of the Rohill Consortium in the past two years, either the Morgan Consortium or the Rockefeller Consortium can single it out. The Rohill Consortium has to rely on some local advantages to ensure that it does not lose.
And among the consortiums that attacked this time, the Rockefeller consortium, the Morgan consortium, the Mellon consortium, the Sumitomo consortium and the Jiuding consortium, whichever one of the strengths is considered to be the world’s top level.
In addition, a bunch of international hot money moving after hearing the wind followed the autumn breeze.
The strength of this offensive team is called a tough one.
The defender, however, planted a big somersault on the capital market of Xiangjiang not long ago, causing serious damage to various strengths. Now it is the mud bodhisattva who cannot protect themselves by crossing the river.
So that the offensive has new gains every moment.
Because only extremely good companies will be looked at by hunters, and good companies are pillars in the stock markets of various countries. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
So soon, the stock markets of various countries became a mess and became irregular, and all major authoritative securities analysis institutions were unable to analyze the correct trend.
The violent volatility of the stock market has also had a significant impact on the foreign exchange and futures markets.
The three cities have interacted with each other, making the entire capital market completely confused.
There are transactions happening all the time, and the existence of countless shell companies makes it impossible to grasp the equity information and position information.
Just two days!
Bright Fund has already acquired a bunch of shares of various companies.
The most conspicuous among them are the 24.18% equity interest of National Westminster Bank and the 19.27% equity interest of Anglo American.
And after two days of emergency communication and contact.
It was finally made up by the Rohill family…
