Unexpectedly, Chen Geng agreed so happily, and the leaders of the province were overjoyed, and immediately sent Feng Xiangdong, the leader of the Provincial Department of Transportation, to contact Chen Geng.

The so-called contact, in fact, is to introduce Chen Geng to the project and the idea of the province, the expected return on investment of the project, after all, if you want people to invest money, always explain the investment, the rate of return, these matters, right?

After some greetings, Feng Xiangdong asked Chen Geng, "Mr. Chen, you already know the reason and purpose of building this highway in our province, right?"

"Well," Chen Geng nodded: "In order to develop the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, under the current situation of unchanged land transportation, carry forward the shipping advantages of the Bashu region, and deepen the economic exchanges between the Bashu region and the coastal provinces, but the specific planning and assumptions will be carefully introduced to me by the Feng Hall." ”

"This is as it should be," Feng Xiangdong nodded hurriedly: "Actually, there are two ideas in the province for the construction of this highway......

Speaking of this, Feng Xiangdong paused slightly, meaning to ask Chen Geng's opinion: I'll talk about both?

Chen Geng had nothing to do, nodded and motioned for Feng Xiangdong to say.

"The first idea is to take the opportunity of building this highway to deepen the land transportation of several cities in the province, the initial plan is to build a two-way two-lane three-level highway, this highway connects Rongcheng, Mei @ Mountain, Le @ Mountain, Rongzhou (Yi @ Bin), and finally the Yangtze River in Rongzhou flows downstream, the length of the whole road is about 280 kilometers to 300 kilometers......;

Feng Xiangdong pursed his lips, and then said: "Mr. Chen, you may also know that Rongcheng actually has a water system that leads directly to the Yangtze River, and this water system is the Min River...... The length of this road is about 50 to 55 kilometers...... We can guarantee that the 200-ton inland river vessel will arrive directly at the Yangtze River port in Rongzhou......"

"I'm sorry, I'll interrupt," Chen Geng interrupted Feng Xiangdong's words and asked, "Why did this second highway go to Qinglongchang in Mei@shan City?"

Feng Xiangdong explained to Chen Geng: "Because when you arrive at Qinglongchang, you can ensure that even if it is a dry season, you can ensure that the water level of the Minjiang River can pass through 100-ton small inland river ships, but the waters of the Minjiang River above Qinglongchang ...... It's not impossible, but the river channel needs to be dug deep and dredged. ”

"Understood," Chen Geng nodded, indicating that he understood: "What is the approximate cost of these two roads?"

Finally talking about this problem, Feng Xiangdong was shocked and said carefully: "If it is the first highway, the project cost per kilometer is about 400,000 to 500,000 yuan, and if it is the second road to Qinglongchang, the project cost per kilometer is about 300,000 yuan." ”

"This price ......" Chen Geng frowned, and he didn't hide his emotions: "With all due respect, Feng Hall, I know that in Lu Province, Su Province and other coastal identities, a two-way two-lane third-class highway with a 24-hour traffic volume of 3,000 to 4,000 vehicles, the project cost per kilometer will not exceed 200,000, and your price is ......."

Chen Geng clearly expressed his dissatisfaction: You guys are a bit dark, this price has more than doubled.

Feng Xiangdong nodded very frankly: "Yes, the same two-way two-lane third-level highway, in Lu Province, Su Province, these relatively flat plain areas of the cost per kilometer may be less than 200,000, but not in our Bashu area, you know, our Bashu region has many mountains, water, and canyons since ancient times, and the difficulty and cost of road construction are much higher than those in the plain area......"

Without waiting for Feng Xiangdong to finish speaking, Chen Geng patted his head, and suddenly realized: he had forgotten this!

Yes, even if it is a two-way two-lane three-level highway of the same standard, in the process of building in the Bashu area, it is necessary to open mountains and build bridges when encountering water, and the project cost is higher than that of the plain area, which is really normal.

As for why the cost of the highway from Rongcheng to Mei@ Shanqinglongchang, which is only more than 50 kilometers away, is so cheap, it is very simple, because Rongcheng is just in the rare plain area of the Bashu region: on the Rongcheng Plain, the cost is naturally much lower.

In this way, the actual construction cost of the two roads is almost calculated:

Line 1, with a total length of 300 kilometers and an average project cost of 450,000 yuan per kilometer, the total project cost is about 135 million yuan;

Line 2 is calculated with a total length of 55 kilometers and a project cost of 300,000 yuan per kilometer, and the total project cost is about 16.5 million.

Some friends may be curious, the first highway not to say, hundreds of millions of project costs for 84 years is still very poor Bashu region, is indeed a big expenditure, but the total investment of Line 2 is only more than 16 million, is it a dignified province, even such a little money can not be taken out?

In fact, for the Bashu government in 1984, not to mention the 135 million yuan of Line 1, even the more than 16 million of Line 2, the province could not take it, on the one hand, this is an unplanned expenditure, on the other hand, the provincial finance is really difficult.

The reality is so tense!

Because of its mountainous nature and inconvenient transportation, Bashu was still a notoriously poor province until the mid-90s...... Think about it, when the third line was built, why did the "backup" of the republic be placed in the Bashu area?

Then the next question is whether the investment is worth it.

Chen Geng pondered for a moment and asked Feng Xiangdong: "Feng Hall, have you calculated the traffic volume of these two highways? If I invest in these two highways, how can I make a profit? What is the annual profit?"

This is the door!

Feng Xiangdong was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "We plan to take the road of the toll road, all the cars that take this road must have traffic fees, as for the profit, we have preliminarily calculated, with 2,000 vehicles passing on this highway every day, charging two cents per kilometer, each car can charge about 90 yuan, which is a toll of 180,000 yuan per day." ”
