The railway between Bangkok and Chiang Mai is more than 680 kilometers long. China's quotation is almost 84.5 billion yuan, and one kilometer is 124 million yuan. The price is already very low.

And Japan has lowered prices, so naturally there is no profit. This is destined to be a loss-making business. So Japan can only reduce the configuration, saying that Thailand is not suitable for building high-speed rail with a speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour.

Reduce the speed to 180 kilometers per hour.

The speed was reduced by one-third for no reason, and the Thais would definitely not do it, so the two sides began to argue with each other. The start date was repeatedly postponed.

Regarding the latest news about this Thailand-Japan high-speed railway, the only thing that can be found is that by 2019, after the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, Thailand’s economy was affected, and there was no relevant news. It is estimated that it will be settled.

Li Weidong recalled it carefully, and then said: "The cost of building high-speed railways is very expensive. Only developed countries in the world can afford to build such things.

With Thailand's financial resources, if it wants to build a high-speed rail, it will definitely need financial support. It seems that this is the role of Kubota. Kubota is also considered a large consortium in Japan. It also makes construction machinery and has an influence on Japanese politics and business circles.

Powerful.

It’s understandable that Thailand chose Kubota to build a high-speed railway, but why did Song Chengde’s Dayang Machinery Group get involved and get an order?”

"I got angry when I said this!" Yue Ping'an continued: "Dayang Machinery is a southern enterprise. They are better at producing agricultural machinery for rice planting. Kubota chose to cooperate with Dayang Machinery because of this.

The agricultural machinery produced by Kubota in Japan is too expensive. For example, if you buy a rice rotary cultivator with 5 billion baht made in Japan, you can only buy more than 3,000 units.

The rice rotary tiller produced by Dayang Machinery is much cheaper. If it were replaced by equipment from Dayang Machinery, I estimate that at 5 billion baht, I could buy 9,000 to 10,000 units.

Thailand’s purchase this time also has requirements for the quantity of agricultural machinery. If all the agricultural machinery is produced and delivered in Japan, the quantity will not be enough to complete the contract.

So Kubota cooperated with Dayang Machinery. Kubota provided key components such as engines and gearboxes, and Dayang Machinery was responsible for producing the products, then affixing Kubota's trademark and selling them to Thailand."

"It's equivalent to doing OEM work!" Li Weidong said.

"It's OEM!" Yue An'an curled his lips with disdain: "How much money can you make from one OEM order? I guess Kubota must have made the bulk of it, and Song Chengde just took a sip of soup. But look at him

He looked like a villain and made me want to beat him up!"

Li Weidong smiled and asked: "You just want to beat up Song Chengde, aren't you jealous when you see the five billion baht order?

"You must be jealous! If we get this 5 billion baht order, we can make money for several years! But it's useless to be greedy. It's clear that this order was given to Kubota by default, and it's not our turn..."

Yue An'an suddenly stopped talking at this point, then looked at Li Weidong in surprise, and then said: "Chairman, you want to grab an order of five billion baht? Do you already have an idea?"

"As long as we in the business have money to make, how can we hand it over to others? What's more, this is a large order of 5 billion baht!" Li Weidong then asked: "There is an ancient saying that without eunuchs, there will be inequality.

You must have heard of it, right?"

"I know, it's what Confucius said in The Analects of Confucius." Yue Ping'an then asked: "Does this have something to do with grabbing orders?"

"Of course it does matter. Don't underestimate the wisdom of our ancestors!" Li Weidong continued: "Next, you have to do a few things. First, find a way to publicize this 5 billion baht agricultural machinery order.

Try to let every Thai know about it."

"I guess there is no need for me to do this kind of thing. It is related to next year's general election. The Ministry of Agriculture and the Agricultural Association of Thailand will publicize this matter as an important political achievement. They want every Thai to know about it," Yue Ping An said.

.

"Then we have to help fuel the flames!" Li Weidong continued: "The second thing is to spend money to find some Thai experts and ask them to write articles or appear on TV programs to discuss and analyze them carefully. Five billion baht

How will the agricultural association distribute the purchased agricultural machinery?

The third thing is to find more reporters, take the experts' discussion and analysis results, go around various villages and interview farmers' opinions. In addition, you can also find some survey agencies to go to rural areas to investigate the public opinion results.

The fourth thing is to find a way to contact the senior officials of the Thai Agricultural Association, give them more gifts, or invite them to take a bath and massage. In short, we should get familiar with the relationship first, and it will be easier for us to plan for the next step."

Yue An'an rolled his eyes and quickly understood Li Weidong's intention. He couldn't help but extend his thumb: "Chairman, this move of yours is brilliant!"
Chapter completed!
