<DIV>"The Spanish Project"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Some NPC Business Dude</DIV>
<DIV>Shenyang Railroad Industrues, Inc.</DIV>
<DIV>August 25, 2014</DIV>
<DIV>==============================================</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>President Gao Li of the Shenyang Railroad Industries Inc. was a man prone
for business. He enjoyed risk... and had done considerably well in the
business world. Shenyang Railroad Industries was at one point a number of
small companies that, through coercive (but legal) means he managed to
consolidate into a massive International Cooperation with an annual profit in
the billions and climbing.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Between 2005 and 2010, SRI managed to get several lucrative contracts to
modernize the transportation infrastructure in Beijing for the olympics, and the
National Rail Service passageways that served as vital links between the large
cities, some more isolated hubs, and the dozen plus large port cities which were
the bloodline of China's massive containerized shipping lines that allowed it to
provide it's goods to the world market. The company expanded, it's
workforce exploded, and as it got larger so did the demand for it's
products. It's massive influx of capitol was partly responsible for the
incredible transportation revolution that took place in China starting in 2010,
and in many ways still continuing. In 2010, then Congresswoman Xia Hong
fought for a major new railroad project to curb land and air traffic, and
facilitate transport across China. It started with the "Coastal Corridor",
dual purpose railway systems that allowed high-speed passenger and freight
service from the Yalu River transfer station on the North Korean border, and
heading down China's coast; starting with Shenyang and continuing through
Qinghuangdao, Beijing, Tianjin, Qingdao, Zhengzao, Nanjing, Shanghai, Ningbo,
Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Macao, and terminating at the Ferry station to Hainan
Dao Island.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It was a hugely ambitious project, necessitating tens of thousands of
workers building for 'years', hundreds of domestic and international
subcontractors, dozens upon dozens of technology exchange agreements, years of
legal, political, corporate, and diplomatic wrangling... but it was now
estimated the line was the most traveled rail system in the world, brought in
huge profits for the government and private investors, and generated millions of
jobs directly and indirectly. It was one of many massive civil service
projects that brought China's economy back to the forefront from a possible
depression... and Shenyang, despite the nay sayers, had been first in line to
receive those contracts.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And then there was no looking back. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Currently Shenyang was overseeing the finishing touches on the Lanzhou
international transfer hub which included lines that allowed cargo and
passengers by high-speed rail to reach across any province in China, as well as
Russia, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgistan, Uzbekistan,
Kazakhstan, Mongolia, North Korea, and the 'Indochina' (historical reference
only) nations. Shenyang had 250,000 employees in 18 different countries
and of immensely diverse populations. Whether you spoke Mandarin, Russian,
Hindi, Pakistani, English, or what have you... Shenyang was looking to hire
you.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>He'd been following progress on the Spanish rail system through various
media outlets. Projection overruns was nothing new in
European markets... extensive unionization, rising production costs,
needless bureaucracy, and purposefully low bids in the first place were chronic
problems in the European market. That being said, Shenyang had a long and
established track record of building things earlier than deadlines and on
budget. He analyzed the situation carefully through his subordinates,
forecasts of profit based on deductions for increased salary layouts, projected
delays because of government aquabbling, etc. etc.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In the end, he was convinced the benefits exceeded the potential
losses. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The proposal was simple. Highlight Shenyang's previous achievements,
then make a deal. They could guarantee 90% of the workforce for
construction would be Spanish, and 99.9% of facility maintenance staff; and
that care would be taken to employ local sub-contractors when they needed
equipment. They could also cut anticipated costs by 15% by switching to
Chinese suppliers rather than EU suppliers for things like steel and
concrete. He firmly believed Spanish work and Chinese products would be a
good combination... one of those instances in International business where it
was a 'win win'.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>=========================================================</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>ACTIONS</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. Shenyang Railroad Industries offers Spain a deal.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> A. 15% reduction in project costs by
switching to Chinese suppliers for steel, concrete, building supplies of
comparable quality to what is being purchased already from EU nations.</DIV>
<DIV> B. 90% Spanish workforce in construction, the
remaining 10% being reserved for foreign technical advisors, sub-contractors,
etc. which may not be available in Spain in sufficient numbers to meet our
requirements to finish this job on-time. (Especially if it's already
delayed)</DIV>
<DIV> C. Should Shenyang be hired to maintain the
facilities as well, 99.9%+ of the workforce will be Spanish. Shenyang will
open a wholly Spanish subsidiary to administer the contracts</DIV>
<DIV> D. Shenyang can also offer railway cars,
trains, and equipment equal to or better than what's available elsewhere, at
substantial savings should Spain decide to enter into a contract with it for
such items.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2. Provide some background into the massive leaps forward China's
made in Transportation.</DIV></FONT><BR><BR><BR><DIV><FONT style="color: black; font: normal 10pt ARIAL, SAN-SERIF;"><HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px">Psssst...Have you heard the news? <A title="http://www.stylelist.com/trends?ncid=aolsty00050000000014" href="http://www.stylelist.com/trends?ncid=aolsty00050000000014" target="_blank">There's a new fashion blog, plus the latest fall trends and hair styles at StyleList.com</A>.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
