The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 1198 Railway Economy
Such a scene probably looked at a lot of people in a daze, and they didn't know what kind of plane these two were playing.

At first, I thought that Dr. Cooper used tricks to trick Professor Parkinson into blindly joining a project that was destined to lose money for the sake of temporary results, and eventually ruined his reputation.

But looking at it now, although Professor Parkinson did not see the report he left behind, the problem is that Professor Parkinson himself also made a survey report, and the cost calculated in this survey report is actually higher than that of Cooper. The cost of the doctor's investigation report is twice as expensive.

This is simply too outrageous, which shows that Professor Ba Jinshan knew from the beginning to the end that he was destined to lose money on this vacuum high-speed maglev tube train technology, but he still took it directly. Why is this?
"Aren't you afraid of losing money?" Professor Cooper was also slightly taken aback, and then asked back.

"Dr. Cooper, after all, you are still a bit out of date with this era. Do you think that this kind of tricks can ruin my reputation? No, you don't know how we make money at all!" Dr. Parkinson smiled, and then licked Licking his own lips.

"In other words, do we really have to wait until 30 years later to start making money? By that time, both of us are estimated to have been buried in the ground, so what does it have to do with us no matter how great our performance is?"

"The real money should start now, even if I don't invest a penny now!" Dr. Parkinson said.

"Want to hear more about it!" said Dr. Cooper.

"Okay, I'll show you what real money is called with great mercy today!" Dr. Parkinson was probably suppressed by his opponent for too long, and now he is like a peacock eager to show his feathers, desperately wanting to make money. He wanted to show his opponent how gorgeous and successful he really is, so he said without hesitation, "First of all, the stock price skyrocketed. I just held such a press conference, and many railway-related companies we hold collectively skyrocketed." , In just one day, I made hundreds of billions of dollars in profits for the company, and the price was nothing more than talking."

"I remember that you only made 1 billion US dollars for the company in the past three years. I can do it in one day now. This is the real big money!"

"It's ridiculous. The rise in stock prices is only temporary, and it's just based on data. If you want to cut a wave of wool and leave, believe it or not, if you dare to sell stocks tomorrow, countless people will follow immediately Throw it away!" Dr. Cooper snorted coldly, apparently not approving Dr. Parkinson's plan to make money.

"Yes, if I have the attitude of using the press conference to cheat money, it is indeed only a little bit, not even enough to plug my teeth. So I am not playing tickets, but really want to If we build a vacuum high-speed railway with the world's highest technology and the greatest, which surpasses the entire era, for the United States, then the stocks of these companies will not be able to fall."

"That's only a profit of US$200 billion, which is nothing compared to the losses caused by the real construction of the railway," Dr. Cooper still retorted.

"No, you still think of me too simply. The rise in stock price is just a little dessert for us. The real benefit is actually in the railway construction itself."

"In your plan, it is too conservative to designate the 50-meter area near the vacuum high-speed pipeline as a control area. According to my plan, this number should be increased by 10 times, and the surrounding 500-meter distance is designated as a control area. Regulated area. As long as these pipelines pass through the city, even if it’s just the suburbs of the city, how much do you think this 500 meters of land is worth?”

"You still want to play the trick of the railway real estate hundreds of years ago?" Dr. Cooper said with a frown. The so-called railway real estate was the place where the railway attracted countless people to invest.

More than 100 years ago, the world's major railway companies were most keen on building new railways in various countries around the world, and the construction conditions they gave seemed to be very superior.

First of all, all the railway construction costs are borne by each company itself. After the railway construction is completed, the local government can not only collect taxes from the railway operation, but also obtain about 30% of the shares for free to share the company's ticket revenue.

There is one thing to say, such a rule is actually not too greedy, even in the 21st century, it is a relatively reasonable rule, a win-win situation together.

Then why did countries around the world oppose this method at that time, thinking it was a huge humiliation?

The reason is very simple, just above the railway real estate.

Because according to the contract drawn up by these companies, with the railway as the center, a distance of about 500 meters must be designated as the exclusive economic zone of the railway company.Nominally, this economic zone is to protect the railway from being destroyed by people nearby, but in fact it is to obtain real estate development rights near the railway.

Not to mention the railways that pass through the suburbs, they are naturally of little value.But at that time, the railway was going to pass through the city, so the range of 500 meters before and after the railway would become the exclusive economic zone of the railway company itself.

Just auctioning off the development rights of these lands, I am afraid that huge profits can be obtained.

You can imagine, assuming that a railway passes through Shanghai, and the distance of 500 meters around the railway is all the land of this company.

These lands are enough to develop dozens of communities, or hundreds of commercial real estate, etc. The land price of this community is tens of billions of income.

It is precisely because of this that the term railway real estate came into being.The more important cities the railway passes through, the more real estate development rights in this city will be taken away by the railway company, all of which are extremely terrifying income.

If a railway company can obtain the right to develop railways in a medium-to-large country, it may not become the world's top 500 overnight.

Of course, as long as the real estate is considered conscientious, some countries want to send armed forces to station along the railway in addition to the railway-related real estate development rights. The name is to protect the safety of the railway, but in reality On the face, I'm afraid that if a sharp knife is directly inserted into my heart, the sky will change in an instant, who can bear it.

Therefore, if a country loses its right to build roads, it will basically become a semi-colonial society.

Closer to home, in modern times, the routine of railway real estate is no longer easy to use.Because everyone is not a fool, and no country is willing to allocate 500 meters around the railway to the railway company. Isn’t it good for me to develop real estate by myself?

If you are going to other countries, it is okay to say that the shock of the missile audit may work, but if you want to play like this in the United States, it is really unbelievable.

So when Dr. Cooper heard that Professor Parkinson actually planned to go back to the routine 100 years ago and continue to ask for a 500-meter commercial area, he still felt it was too incredible.

"No, this is not the same as the old trick back then!" Dr. Parkinson said with a slight smile, "The 100 meters of land 500 years ago were compulsory expropriation. Houses on these lands, and then declare that these lands belong to the railroad company, so the railroad estate can develop.”

"The reason why this game can't be played now is because everyone has become a civilized person and can no longer do the same thing as before. If you want 500 meters of land around the railway, you have to pay huge demolition fees. .”

"By the way, even if it's a large suburb outside the city, it's still private land, and you need to pay a very large amount of relocation or collect fees."

"I estimated that if the relocation is based on the range of 500 meters, then the total construction cost will have to increase the relocation fee by about 2.2 trillion U.S. dollars!"

Dr. Cooper was stunned for a while, he still didn't understand why Professor Parkinson still had an ecstatic expression on his face, which was an extra 2.2 trillion yuan in relocation fees.

However, Dr. Cooper is also a boss after all. After thinking for a while, he looked at Professor Parkinson with an expression on his face as if he had seen a ghost and said, "You don't want to pay the 2.2 trillion US dollars in relocation fees, but To earn $2.2 trillion in relocation fees?"

Hearing Dr. Cooper's words, Professor Parkinson couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. What a chance to pretend to be B, there is no such thing.

So he could only nod a little depressed and said, "Yes, although you are not completely confused, the 2.2 trillion US dollars in relocation fees is our income!"

"Normally, the price of an acre of farmland is about 4100 US dollars. This is the price of farmland. If it is barren sand or other land with no economic value, the price of an acre of land is only one or two dollars. Just a hundred dollars."

"We just need to arrange some partners in advance to buy those lands at a reasonable price in advance before the detailed pipeline routes come out, especially those lands that are worthless. The total cost will not exceed 200 billion U.S. dollars."

"But when we pay the compensation, we only need to pay the compensation according to the price of the farmland, and the 200 billion US dollars will instantly become 8000 billion US dollars. Isn't this money earned by us?"

"Goldman Sachs itself controls many companies in the surrounding areas of the city. We can let the track pass exclusively on the land of these companies, and then pay the relocation fee according to the highest local land price, which is another hundreds of billions of dollars. .”

"Tell me, is this money already in our hands before the construction of the pipeline and railway has started?" Professor Ba Jinson said with a smile, and there were huge symbols in his eyes.

"Then where are you going to get the $2.2 trillion used to buy land?" Dr. Cooper asked angrily.

"There are two ways. The first is to go from the stock market. These more than 1 railway companies have established a joint company. In the future, this joint company will be listed directly. The money raised from the listing will be used to build ultra-high-speed vacuum pipelines. The cost of the railway. I estimate that it should not be a big problem to raise at least trillions of dollars in the stock market through this method, and we can't keep the title of the world's most valuable company in the hands of a Chinese company."

"The second way is easier, but let's talk about it when the first way doesn't work!" Professor Parkinson was a little hesitant to speak, but he still didn't say what his second way was.
