In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the railway company tycoons across the United States were a little depressed because they felt that they were all fooled by Emperor Li Mengyang.

It should be said that these tycoons are not young people. They have never regarded Emperor Li Mengyang as a good man and a trustworthy woman, but today...

Is this too ruthless?

Yes, anyone can tell that you, the emperor, would let us out without a single soldier, a single shot.

"Public-private partnership, public-private partnership." Li Mengyang of course saw the expressions of these people on the dragon throne, and he had already laughed. So he emphasized these two sentences, meaning that you will have certain rights in the future.

But by the way, it seems like I am robbing it now, but in fact it is not like that, okay?

I gave you benefits before, right?

I gave you money before, right?

You feel bad now? What did you think when you asked for money and benefits before?

That's right, it's all right, but these capitalists will never think so.

Let me put it this way, Li Mengyang once heard of a case. After a financial tsunami, there was a bank in the United States called Aig. This guy was about to collapse. The US government took action and ended up spending more than 180 billion US dollars, but later...

"The actions of the US government are shameful and a bastard..." The original boss of Aig was going to sue the US government...

Anyway, most capitalists are ungrateful, which is correct.

Li Mengyang has no sympathy for dealing with these people. Now I will tell you, get out!

So, whether to give or not? In the future, public-private partnership, what I said doesn’t count. At most, I can only share dividends, so...

"Your Majesty!" At this time, Carnegie came out.

Of course, Li Mengyang knew Carnegie. I don’t know that he was too few in China, because in the promotion of GZ Big V, Carnegie is a legendary figure and has a great character!

Carnegie is almost a perfect businessman example. Anyway, most public intellectuals say that, but...

Li Mengyang remembers that during the Civil War, Carnegie paid $300 in order not to go to the battlefield.

Yes, this kid actually has a black background. Hehehe...

So, what is Carnegie going to say?

"I just want to ask Your Majesty, if Your Majesty takes over the railway system of the entire empire, how can Your Majesty make a profit? In fact, I know very well that even if all our railway companies are united now, we still have no confidence to make a profit." I have to say that Carnegie's knowledge is still very powerful.

In fact, the current American railway bubble, the problem of duplicate construction and malicious competition, of course, exists, but is this the main cause?

Carnegie didn't think so in his heart. He always felt that the railways now actually have a certain room for development.

Just to mention the individuals present are all tycoon-level figures and are all talented people, but who has stopped the construction of the railway?

The answer is no!

The less there is, it can be seen that it is a malicious competition problem, but no one stops. So what is the reason?

In fact, when I want to save it, I understand that everyone is optimistic about the future of the railway!

To put it bluntly, everyone thinks that the future prospects are bright and there will be money to make money.

Never underestimate this mentality. Because this is actually the key to determining market behavior!

Just talking about the stock market problem, why did it rise?

Because you have full confidence in the future!

Why the decline?

The money is not bright!

This is an expectation. Good expectations can bring investment, so, on the other hand, behind the repeated construction of malicious competition is actually a unanimous optimism about the future!

It's strange, but that's the case, otherwise who is stupid?

But there is another big problem now, that is, the railway has not been fully utilized!

There is no problem with passenger transport. Many people do railways, but there are many problems in other aspects, freight.

It is of course to transport goods, but the problem of freight is that it has not been fully developed. To put it bluntly, Carnegie has a unique view on the development of railways, that is, the current railways are not entirely due to vicious competition, but because the capacity has not been fully utilized. This freight is the most critical one.

Because in the era of navigation, everyone likes to take the sea route, which is cheaper. Moreover, in the United States, because the Panama Canal is opened, there are no blind spots in sea transportation. You can transport the cargo back and forth through the ship.

So, the real situation is actually like this. Sea freight is cheap, and a large amount of goods are shipped by sea. The cost of railways is here, which is expensive!

I have to say that Carnegie is still very powerful. He saw the key to the problem. The real competition is actually competition with sea routes, so we need to solve this problem...

"Your Majesty! I have an idea." Carnegie saw that Li Mengyang had not spoken much, so she continued: "Would some legislation be passed, such as mandatory sea freight prices must not be too low..."

This...well, Carnegie has become a member of the country at this time, and he strongly hopes that the country will interfere in market behavior!

"..." Li Mengyang felt funny in his heart, because Carnegie was really a big capitalist, but now he was in a materialistic proletarian state.

"This is impossible!" Li Mengyang's answer was simple and clear!

Of course, this cannot be done. Li Mengyang doesn't care much about market behavior. Although he doesn't let go completely, he must not interfere with such market behavior. When interfering with the market, he must mainly make policies from the monetary aspect and forcefully interfere with the market, that is, the planned economy.

"Then how should your majesty solve it?" Carnegie really couldn't think of this solution.

"Let's join forces with public and private enterprises first." That's what Li Mengyang said.

"..." All the railway tycoons were speechless.

In fact, Carnegie should be the conscientious character among these railway tycoons.

Really, in later generations, Li Mengyang saw many stories about Carnegie, and they all said that he was a unique businessman in the world with conscience... Really, the stories were all the same and they were all about entering the country.

But... don't forget that during the Civil War, this guy was a citizen of the age. He should have gone to the battlefield, but he paid the $300.

Well, this doesn't mean too much, but Li Mengyang also knows that this guy is definitely not as morally flawless as written in various chicken soup articles in later generations.

So, what exactly does Li Mengyang do?

How can he make this railway that has lost money and become profitable?

At the end of the meeting, Li Mengyang kept Carnegie...

"Your Majesty! What do you want to tell me? Is there really any way you can save the railway?" Carnegie was very happy. This is a special treatment. How can ordinary people have this opportunity?

"That's how the railway is, no one can save it." Li Mengyang replied directly.

"hat?" Carnegie's expression was too unexpected.

He was really excited before. His Majesty the Emperor might have something to say, so he called him over, but he didn't expect that it was like this.

"The railway cannot be saved, but we can have other ways." Li Mengyang said simply, "The reason why you are asked to stay is mainly because you still have some ideas. Let's put it this way, if the railway companies can live, they will be alive, and if they cannot live, they will be shut down directly. As for other things... how much of your current production capacity is over?"

"Production capacity? Overcapacity?" Carnegie understood as soon as he heard it. He was a railway construction company, that is, how much of his construction capacity is beyond the needs of this market, but this problem is, "Not much, not much."

Sorry to answer!

Most people are like this, and they have said before, if they don’t work, just turn off the production capacity, so much more. Isn’t this a very ruthless thing to do?

Let’s put it this way, from the perspective of the producer, they do not want to make their own production smaller, because if they become smaller, they make less money. What they hope is to expand the market.

In fact, capitalism has been like this since the beginning. They are constantly looking for the market and their appetites are getting bigger and bigger. What Li Mengyang is talking about now is completely anti-capitalist thinking.

So……

"Isn't you just going to turn it off!" Li Mengyang knew that this was the case, so he smiled and said, "Leave good ones with strong abilities, and come to China and build here!"

"Ah? This, this is great!" Carnegie was so happy!

Yes, isn’t there a lot of markets?

Although it requires a lot of cost, it doesn't matter, at least it solves a lot of problems.

You should know that the railway matter is not only a problem for railway companies, but also involves steel companies, motorcycle companies, and manpower arrangements... Anyway, there are a lot of things, and now the market has a little more. No matter how you look at it, it is an excellent opportunity to release production capacity.

but……

Is this what Li Mengyang means?

You know, this railway requires a lot of money...

"As for the American railways, of course we can't let them rust. This way, you take the lead and go back to find those people to make a decision. Anyway, they are no longer making money, so let's do something together..."

What kind of transaction is this?

"Please make it clear by your Majesty!" Carnegie couldn't think of it at all.

"So, let me tell you, when you go back and hire someone to make some printed documents, listing all kinds of things on it, from food to clothes to use, from small toothpick to big cars, if someone needs a plane, that's fine..."

"Ah?" Andrew Carnegie was completely stupid.

"Send such documents to the people along the railway and ask them to fill in what they like. To put it bluntly, they want to buy them. Then they confirm that they want to buy them. Okay, we will ship them over!"

"..." Carnegie was completely unaware of it, so what kind of business is this?

Simply put, people from later generations, especially Chinese, can understand that this is...
