Chapter 30 What is Pattern!!!

It was not until now that Martha finally understood what Lin Yan meant by "take a long-term view"!
"Compared with the comprehensive benefits brought by the opening of the high-speed rail, the operating losses of the high-speed rail itself are not worth mentioning at all! So, is there still such a perspective? Yan, you Chinese are simply... too unexpected!"

The stars in Martha's eyes were almost overflowing!
Yes, I should have thought of it earlier! My father and his team built a high-speed railway not for the operating income of the high-speed railway, but because they saw the potential benefits that the high-speed railway could bring, so they were willing to invest heavily in it!

However, China’s perspective is even higher!
They certainly care about the various comprehensive benefits that the opening of high-speed rail will bring, but they value more what kind of changes these benefits will bring to the local people!
From small things like the tourism revenue from foreign tourists coming here because of the high-speed rail to large things like the investment and development by commercial companies coming here because of the high-speed rail! All these revenues are included in the local finances and residents' income, which is the real way to drive them towards prosperity!
This is the real poverty alleviation, not just giving out some relief food to keep the poor from starving to death! This is the vision of the Chinese people who have leapt above the entire blue planet!

Many foreign netizens in the live broadcast room have become popular!
"Is this fake? Can someone tell me that this Chinese kid is talking nonsense? How can there be such a great country on the blue planet that cares about the lower class people? There's a sewer broken in front of our damn house, and those damn politicians took weeks to deal with it!"

"I don't believe it! There is not a single good politician in the world. How could there be such a politician who can be called a saint? China built the high-speed railway purely to make money, how could it be for poverty alleviation!"

"But if you want to make money, there are obviously many other ways. Isn't it worth it to build so many high-speed railways?"

"...Anyway, I just don't believe it!"

Defensive!
They are really broken!
They claim to live in a powerful and wealthy country, but their politicians always argue over various procedures to build a few kilometers of road or bridge, and finally use the most astronomical budget to build the worst quality infrastructure! Even worse, no one knows where the money went, and no infrastructure is even seen!
In contrast, China is willing to make a loss on paper in order to build such advanced high-speed railways to every household, so that every Chinese citizen can feel the progress of their country and the continuous improvement of their quality of life!
How could they accept this? They definitely couldn't accept it!
"Liar", "lie", "I don't believe it" and other pale and powerless words were constantly appearing in the chat room.

But do they really not believe it?

……

Looking at the notifications of the transfer value being credited to his account, Lin Yan couldn't stop smiling.

Although these foreign netizens in the live broadcast room may talk tough, their bodies are still very honest.

Strike while the iron is hot, he told Martha about the high-speed rail poverty alleviation lines represented by the "Zhangjiajie-Huaihua High-speed Railway", as well as the 7272 and 5633 slow trains that are still in operation. Martha was stunned.

"A high-speed rail that goes through mountain tunnels the entire way, with little view of the sky? The cost of digging these tunnels alone is as high as hundreds of millions of Chinese yuan per kilometer? Is it really just to help the residents there get out of the mountains and provide a national fare standard to build a high-speed rail line like this?"

"For a journey of several hundred kilometers, they only charge 2 Chinese Yuan for the fare? This is charity, right? It must be charity! This is the price of a can of Happy Coke!"

"There are not only seats on that train, but there is even a mobile market? Chickens, ducks, cows, sheep and other poultry are also sold on the train? How amazing!" The people in the live broadcast room were also stunned!
Is this Chinese kid making up a story? But if he is, it is too real, isn't it? With so many details and a plot that is so outrageous yet also logical, how could he make up a story so quickly?

But if it’s not made up, wouldn’t that be even more outrageous!
Doharo, the technical consultant of American Railways, who had previously raised professional doubts about China's high-speed rail, was sweating profusely at this moment.

"If this is true, a slow railway with 2 Chinese currency? Converted into rice yuan, it would be about 30 centimeters, and a journey of several hundred kilometers? Not to mention the cost of railway maintenance, it is not even enough to pay the wages of railway workers! Is China really operating the railway at a loss and not pursuing economic benefits at all?"

Be it him, the audience in the live broadcast room, or even Martha herself, everyone's outlook on life has been turned upside down!
It turns out that while China is strong in Jinghai and Modu, there are still so many underdeveloped places! In those mountains, there are no high-rise buildings, no amusement parks, no big hotels, and even the residents there have to live a hard life every day!

But what shocked them even more was that China had never forgotten these “invisible places”!
Building a "loss-making" high-speed railway is something that is impossible in any other country, or even impossible to think about! However, China not only did it, but also saw the essence of these high-speed railways "not losing money" with an extremely brilliant vision!

This is China, a magical land full of wisdom, surprises and human touch!
At this moment, Martha even felt that this high-speed train ride was not enjoyable at all!
She really wants to go to places like Xiaoliangshan to experience the "2 yuan" slow train. She also wants to go to the mountains in southern Hunan to see what the high-speed rail that runs entirely in mountain tunnels looks like!
But this is just a thought.

Just an hour ago, she said she wanted to go to Xinjiang, but now she hasn't even got halfway there, she changed her mind and said she wants to go to Mikawa or Shonan. A princess can't be so willful.

However, she was also looking forward to her upcoming trip to Chang'an City.

Although this was just a stopover on their way to Western Xinjiang, Martha was now completely fanatical about China. She believed that every place in China could bring her enough surprises!

and!

Even if she herself didn't realize the surprise.

My dear Yan will also tell me in detail how extraordinary things are behind all this!

Martha hugged Lin Yan's arm and smiled sweetly.

Rather than repeatedly telling her about the greatness and extraordinaryness of China's high-speed rail, she would rather listen to the stories behind these great achievements. Only Yan would tell her that the achievements of China's high-speed rail were not worth boasting about, but rather proof that China was still not strong enough.

The reasons that lead to greatness are often more worth remembering than a great achievement.
