Chapter 84: How Much Loan Do You Ow?

How much does it cost to build a bridge across the sea for tens of kilometers?

When faced with this problem, many people are prone to subconsciously bring in the cases of Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao in the later world to compare, thinking that Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao have made 120 billion yuan, which is only about 60 kilometers, so how can each kilometer be 2 billion.

But this algorithm is actually wrong, because Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao are bridges and tunnels at the same time, and there is a considerable length of the middle that is shrunk to the bottom of the sea in the form of an undersea tunnel, in order not to affect the navigation of the Pearl River Basin - Guangdong, Xiangjiang, and the Special Economic Zone are all famous deep-water ports, and to enter and exit N tons of sea vessels, no matter how high the bridge is, it may affect shipping, so it is better to simply make a diving undersea tunnel.

If the Lan side builds a bridge connecting the main island of Kalimantan, it will not affect shipping at all, and the ship going to Kuching Port will have to go around the main island of Lan Fang a little bit to the north. As for the ship going to the port of Brunei, it will not increase the range in the slightest.

Therefore, the idea of the Lanfang Bridge, in terms of cost, is closer to the Ark Bay Bridge of later generations - Gu Kun has calculated that the Lanfang Bridge has a sea crossing distance of nearly 30 nautical miles, which is equivalent to 45 kilometers, which is a little longer than the 36 km Ark Bay Bridge.

At the same time, although the total length of Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao in later generations is 60 kilometers, because of the mixed use of bridges and tunnels, the main bridge is more than 30 kilometers, so the length is not as good as Gu Kun's Lanfang Bridge.

In the same way, the Key West Bridge in Miami, the Oceanic nation that has become famous in recent years because of Cameron and Schwarzenegger's movie "True Lies", although it claims to be "90 miles long, closer to Cuba than to Miami", is actually a series of bridges that connect each of the small islands of the Key West Islands.

The longest single one is called the "Seven Mile Bridge", which is only seven miles as the name suggests, or less than 12 kilometers — the same bridge in "True Lies" where Lucia saboteurs drove a truck to load a nuclear bomb and tried to detonate it in Miami, only to be blown up by Schwarzenegger's teammates with Harrier fighter jets.

Therefore, to make an analogy that all "Civilization" players can understand - Gu Kun built the Lanfang Bridge, which is definitely a spectacle data that can be brushed up on the "world's longest single sea-crossing bridge", and hold the world record for at least twenty or thirty years, achieving "cultural victory points + XXX".

The Ark Bay Sea-crossing Bridge, which does not consider navigation and bridges and tunnels, costs only 10.7 billion yuan, which is only 11/11 of that of Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao, which are mixed with bridges and tunnels.

In calculating the reduction in inflation caused by the start of construction 10 years earlier, as well as the decline in project costs caused by local land acquisition, material costs and sluggish infrastructure demand during the Southeast Asian financial crisis. Even if the mileage is 30% longer than the Ark Bay Bridge, Gu Kun is sure to control the project cost within 1 billion US dollars.

And try to make a down payment as little as possible, take out a loan if you can, and mortgage if you can use the bridge property right mortgage.

As for the water diversion project, in fact, there is not much construction cost.

That thing only needs to throw dozens of kilometers of reinforced concrete pipes into the sea, and you don't even have to bury it all the way, and you don't have to worry about being broken and damaged. It is almost as simple and crude as the construction method of laying submarine communication fiber optic cables. (Submarine fiber optic cables are also armored cables that are thrown directly on the seabed and do not need to be buried.) Sometimes a large area of the network is disconnected, it may be that the submarine fiber optic cable has been accidentally broken)

Some people may wonder: It is cheap to put pipes on the seabed, but the altitude of the pipes is lower than that of the reservoir that receives the water source, how can the water flow through? Is it necessary to rely on pumping stations and consume huge energy consumption?

In fact, there is no need to worry about this, the specific principle is somewhat similar to the "Yellow Project" of the "South-to-North Water Diversion" in China. One of the biggest difficulties in the south-to-north water diversion project in China was to allow the water from the Han River to cross the Yellow River in a north-south direction and continue to Hebei. The elevation of the water pipeline that crosses the bed of the Yellow River is definitely lower than that of the river on the receiving side.

However, as long as a large reservoir is built at each end of the pipe, ensuring that there is a sufficient drop in the water level of the reservoir that sends and receives water, and there is a slight drop between the sections of the pipeline itself, the water can be pressed through.

Gu Kun's three-year marine engineering at Hujiang Jiaotong University was not in vain, and now he can roughly estimate the cost of this kind of project.

This is the real application of what you have learned, and the book is not in vain.

……

Gu Kun roughly popularized the concept of "taking advantage of the financial crisis to occupy the pit at the lowest cost, I am a high-achieving student of Jiaotong University, and I will not be cheated in terms of cost".

In view of Gu Kun's historical prestige of "leading the Lan side from one victory to another", Zhu Youdong was successfully brainwashed after all, and completely opened all the negotiation authority for foreign cooperation to Gu Kun.

By the way, he also agreed to Gu Kun's request for appointment and dismissal, and implemented Tang Jia's position, so that she could represent the Lanfang Islands and be responsible for international cooperation negotiations with foreign countries. (Tang Jia has already expedited the naturalization procedures a few days ago, and is now a citizen of the Lanfang Islands)

A few days later, Gu Kun took his assistant, as well as Gao Jianxiong and Tang Jia, to go north to China and go to Hujiang to seek international cooperation under the banner of New Year's greetings.

On January 10, half a month before Chinese New Year's Eve, Gu Kun successfully arrived in Hujiang, first stayed at his Oriental Pearl Riverview Villa in Lujiazui for one night, and then let out the wind.

COSCO's He Lan reacted quickly, and rushed to Gu Kun's mansion the next day to collect debts.

"Gu Sheng is really a believer, and he said that there will be news in half a year, and there will be news in half a year. The last time you made a promise to us was on June 28 last year, and it's been exactly half a year now. I believe that COSCO will cooperate with you more happily in the future. ”

As soon as He Lan came to the door, he first said good things and held Gu Kun up and down the steps, and brought a gift with a very low posture and offered it eagerly.

Of course, Gu Kun didn't care about the value of the gift, it was just a gesture. He smiled after a little glance, it was full of hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake that weighed at least eight taels or even more than a catty, and this was the most handy gift in the Hujiang River at the end of the year.

Hujiang people love to eat crabs, and they respect river crabs, but sea crabs are not famous. Yangcheng Lake is close to the neighboring city of Gusu, and it can be said that the hairy crabs are fried by the needs of Hujiang diners.

He Lan knew that Gu Kun was born in Lanfang and started a fishery, and the precious seafood was eaten as a meal for Gu Kun, so he could get some lake fresh spices to get his hands on. Gu Kun's three years of studying in Hujiang have also somewhat tainted his taste for hairy crabs.

At that moment, Gu Kun responded kindly: "Manager He is too polite, in business, keeping promises is just the basic skill." Besides, I only promised that 'within half a year, there will be changes', and I didn't say that I would directly fulfill the contract in half a year. But now that Soros's manipulation is obviously not over, I don't want to rush into the contract, and I have to give a few more months. ”

He Lan's face was a little embarrassed: "There is still a grace period? That is far away, there must be a clear statement." ”

Gu Kun was also unambiguous: "After Soros's series of speculations in Southeast Asia completely cease, I will definitely fulfill the contract for a month at most." This time, I gave a letter that clarified the effective conditions, and Manager He still doesn't believe me?"

He Lan sighed: "Strictly speaking, you are indeed not dishonest, but if it goes on like this, I am afraid that our Mr. Ye will not be qualified to talk about cooperation with you on an equal footing." You already have billions of dollars in your hands, and you can still control the national strength and economic ...... of the country."

Gu Kun said with a smile: "How can it be, Manager He is too modest, your COSCO is a large group with an annual turnover of nearly 10 billion US dollars, and with the GDP of Lan Fang, it is estimated that it can be compared with COSCO's turnover." ”

"But Mr. Ye is only the leader of the East China Branch, and no matter how strong COSCO is, it is just a fox and a fake tiger for him. He Lan interrupted quietly.

Gu Kun smiled embarrassedly: "I have always been supportive of partners who cooperate well, and I also hope that everyone can cooperate for a long time." This year should be a critical year for business adjustment, and I can help. ”

Although the government and enterprises in Huaxia have been separated, there are still close personnel transfers between enterprises and government agencies. At every turn, the deputy leaders of the industrial departments will be transferred to the enterprises at the level of "Huaxia XX Corporation" to become the top leaders.

Over time, the personnel transfer of enterprises has also had a five-year cycle of biological clock. For example, the years 92 to 93, 97 to 98, and 02 to 03 are all key handovers that determine whether the career of enterprise personnel can go further. At this juncture, corporate executives can't climb up, and they will have to lie dormant for at least four years.

He Lan's boss, Mr. Ye, was also the number one in the company's East China region before the 92 restructuring, and his qualifications were almost enough, but the credit was still lacking. And this year, I heard that there are several older generations in the head office who are retiring, and that is a good opportunity.

Since Gu Kun has made it clear that he will try his best to squeeze out some achievements in international cooperation, then it will be easy for the two sides to talk.

The Southeast Asian financial crisis has also led to temporary difficulties in foreign trade of many Chinese enterprises and a serious decline in exports to Southeast Asia. The recession of the shipping industry is worse than the foreign trade industry, at this time, no fault is the merit, the achievement is the merit, if it can be slightly developed, the merit will be more conspicuous, and it will definitely be considered to be able to lead the company out of the predicament of the iron-fisted minister.

Gu Kun saw that the friendship between the two sides was almost the same, so he made his words clear: "I came this time, taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, and I want to set the next batch of construction projects." We in Lanzhou should take advantage of the low prices and insufficient demand in Southeast Asia to build infrastructure to stimulate the economy.

As a friend, I don't hide it from you, I have at least 2 billion US dollars of my own funds, but I can't all throw them into infrastructure, I hope that through the consistent friendly cooperation with your company and CCB, I can get a large amount of loans, and go to several major projects such as the Lanfang-Kuching Water Diversion Project, the Lanfang Sea-crossing Bridge, the Lanfang Submarine Communication Fiber Optic Cable, and Borneo Telecom.

Huaxia is willing to accept the mortgage of project ownership, then it is best, if you are willing to buy shares, we will also accept it. ”

Gu Kun never expected the spectacle itself to have a high return on investment, so if the Chinese were willing to take a stake, he would like to transfer the ownership of the bridge and the right to collect future tolls.

Anyway, it was enough for him to get the overall convenience of the Lan side after the completion of the bridge and other facilities, and to get the publicity effect of the landmark on the country.

"It's quite beautiful, so far I haven't given you any benefits except for two extensions, and you have come to us again to take out a loan? How can there be such a brazen person? I have earned money in my pocket, and I can borrow money if I want to! Tell me how many loans you owe to CCB? How many times have Nima and our COSCO guaranteed you!" He Lan secretly complained in her heart, but fortunately she couldn't help but say it, and the expression on her face still kept smiling,
