In 2014, China signed a "railway construction contract" with Mexico for a total amount of 30.5 billion.
This is a big move for the mainland's China Railway Technology to go to the world, so we have made quite adequate preparations for it.
According to effective statistics, the plan and related materials used for verification by the Mexico side alone weighed as much as 2.1 tons, which shows how sincere we are.
However, what everyone did not expect was that all the plans and materials we prepared, as well as the manpower and material resources we spent on it, all the pollution was in vain!
The reason is that Mexico unilaterally broke the treaty, which made our efforts in vain.
And the most infuriating thing is that the originally negotiated liquidated damages of 270 million, Mexico actually did not admit it, and finally only paid us 8.06 million.
Only later did we know that there was actually a "villain" behind this.
"Murk High-Speed Rail"
In 2012, Nieto was elected president, and the first thing he did when he came to power was to build the popular "Morke-Ke high-speed railway".
At that time, Mexico was still relatively important in the Western world and seemed to be relatively prosperous, but these were actually superficial, and Mexico inside had always been in the trouble of "inconvenient transportation", resulting in a bottleneck period of economic development.
At this time, there is a need for a transportation artery that connects important locations across the country.
The emergence of the Moke-Ke high-speed railway will greatly enhance the transportation of goods and the problem of personnel travel.
On top of that, the 201-kilometre route will provide more than 60,000 jobs to the cities along the route.
In short, if the Moek-Ke high-speed railway is really successful, it will be beneficial and harmless for Mexico, and Nieto is aware of this and advocates its construction.
However, Mexico is only economically developed, and if it comes to infrastructure skills, he is still a lot worse, so he can only bid externally.
For this large order, many infrastructure companies, including the mainland, United States and Japan, have actively participated in the bidding.
It's just that these companies involved in the tender never imagined that Mexico's requirements would be so demanding.
The first is the deadline for the delivery of the tender proposal, which is only two months, and the start of construction must be set for the beginning of 2014.
Moreover, the total duration of the construction of the Moke high-speed railway shall not exceed three years, otherwise it will be a breach of contract.
You know, this is a 210-kilometer-long project, and the road is rugged and bumpy, and you have to pass through a lot of mountain cliffs, and the difficulty of construction can be imagined.
This means that in addition to excellence, the plan must also provide sufficient technical instructions.
In just two months, it is an extremely high threshold, so this condition alone will dissuade most of the bidding companies and the state.
In addition, the construction started so early, and the completion time was only three years, which stimulated many countries.
So in the end, only one of the 17 tenders was left in China - the China Railway Construction Bidding Consortium.
However, to everyone's surprise, when there was no choice, Mexico later defaulted with us.
"Two defaults"
Based on a rigorous attitude, even though we were the only one, we showed the utmost sincerity and delivered a very complete proposal in a very short time.
For Mexico does not want to spend more money, but also needs high quality requirements, we have also responded to them one by one in the plan.
It is no exaggeration to say that we have achieved the ultimate in "good quality and low price", and there is no better meeting the requirements of Mexico than we do.
On November 3, 2014, the cooperation of "Moke High-speed Railway" was officially reached, with a total amount of 30.5 billion yuan.
From the day the cooperation was reached, we began to push forward all the work that had been prepared before, and we just wanted to start construction as soon as possible to complete this big project.
However, just three days later, Mexico unilaterally issued a proclamation: "Termination of cooperation." ”
The reason is that there are too few bidding companies and they are not fair enough, doesn't this mean that we have won "undignified"?
But at that time, there was no company, so who would we choose? That's not up to us at all.
Our staff was speechless for Mexico's inability to operate, but fortunately, we were confident that even if we re-tendered, we would be able to win again.
So, the second round of bidding began, and this time we were a total of 5 companies.
Because there was more time to prepare for the second round of the tender, our tender was much more complete than the last one, and as we expected, we were still the only one who best met Mexico's requirements.
But just when we thought that this big order was stable, Mexico was "demonic" again.
On January 30, 2015, Mexico actually said: "The country's finances are affected by oil prices, and it is not enough to support the construction of the Mexican high-speed railway." ”
This is very obvious, that is, the high-speed rail will not be repaired, and all the efforts we have made for this will be in vain, and it is useless.
What the hell is going on? Why did the things that were originally said to be good suddenly change their minds? Moreover, our international relations with Mexico have always been good, so why would they "trick" us again?
"There are villains"
Many people may think that this "villain" is actually the United States adjacent to Mexico.
In fact, since the day of its founding, the United States has never given up its coveting of Mexico, and has even taken advantage of its civil strife to occupy many parts of Mexico.
And in the minds of United States politicians, Mexico has never been an "independent country", but more like their "vassal state".
In order to completely achieve this goal, the United States has been quietly cultivating its own talents in Mexico, whether in business or politics, there are many "diehards".
The reason why the "Moke-Ke high-speed railway" ran aground twice in a row this time is that after receiving instructions from the United States, these "politicians" began to obstruct it until they stopped cooperating.
At the same time, of course, the United States has been putting pressure on the Mexico government.
It is worth mentioning that this matter is also involved in other Western countries.
For example, United Kingdom, its media published an article: "Nieto suddenly has an extra $7 million mansion in his name, and the construction company is a Mexico company that cooperates with the Chinese side." ”
It is not difficult to imagine that this is a deliberate attempt to smear China's "bribery" and prove that it is undignified for us to win the bid.
But even though this is a well-distinguished rumor, many people still believe it, further exacerbating the disruption of cooperation.
The reason why Western countries, led by United States, urgently want to interrupt the "Moke high-speed railway" project is to curb the influence of China's infrastructure in the international arena, thereby weakening our international status.
In fact, this state has lasted for many years.
But can China's "stuck" behavior really prevent us from improving our international status? Apparently impossible.
Today, China's infrastructure is still going to the world, and has been unanimously praised, and their blocking can only be delusional.
What do you have to say about this?
