Discovery Group presented to the Government its investment proposal based on the capital-recovery business model.
Discovery Group will conduct in-depth working sessions with the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Finance in the coming period.
The Deputy Prime Minister recognized Discovery Group as an enterprise demonstrating seriousness, with thoroughly prepared, meticulous, and professional documentation.
This is a major project that Vietnam has never implemented before. The current reality for Vietnamese enterprises is a 6–0 situation:
0–1: No Technology
0–2: No Financial capability (USD 67 billion is an enormous figure for the Government, let alone for private enterprises)
0–3: No Experience
0–4: No Human Resources
0–5: No linkage with specialized high-speed railway partners
0–6: No (not yet) manufacturing capability
Under Resolution 68–NQ/TW on promoting the strength of the private economy, Discovery Group will strive to present the Government with detailed and transparent solutions to join hands with the Nation in building a modern, safe, and professional high-speed railway line, contributing to the development of national urban infrastructure.
