The plan that Wang Khan came up with is a high-speed rail project plan connecting New York and San Francisco.

The beautiful country used to be the country with the most developed railways and the longest mileage in the world.

But with the completion of the highway network and the development of the aviation industry, the railway has become a pitiful worm that my grandmother does not hurt and my uncle does not love.

As for high-speed rail, the governments of the beautiful country have always said that it will be built, but they have never seen action, and they only stay in words.

The reasons for this situation are quite complex, but in simple terms, they can be summarized into several reasons.

First, the cost is too high, the construction of high-speed rail is too expensive, and the funds here are not only the cost of construction, but also the cost of demolition along the way, the cost of labor, etc., for this country where two people quarrel and can get into court, these additional costs are likely to be higher than the cost of construction.

Second, the two parties will tear each other down, and whenever the ruling party wants to build a high-speed railway, the opposition party will find various reasons to dismantle it. However, the construction of high-speed rail needs to pass through many places, and these places are not necessarily the territory of a party, when you repair to the territory of the hostile party, the people who are looking for trouble will come, and all kinds of excuses, reasons, rules and regulations will be thrown together, and you don't want to carry out this project.

Third, the competition in the aviation industry, as we all know, once the high-speed rail is completed, it is bound to compete with the airlines along the line for business, after all, in the short and medium-distance transportation, the high-speed rail is far more convenient than the airplane, once the high-speed rail is built, the airline's income will definitely lose a large part, in the capitalist country of the beautiful country, the airline is definitely a giant, with the pressure of the giant, the high-speed rail can not be built at all.

Generally speaking, the reason why the beautiful country does not build high-speed rail is that these three reasons account for the majority.

But there is one more important reason, which is the one that George said.

Wang Khan looked at George.

"George, do you really think high-speed rail loses money?"

"Of course, although the high-speed rail is very convenient and can greatly save the time of travel, the maintenance cost is too high, and the ticket money of the high-speed rail alone cannot be made up at all, unless you sell tickets that are more expensive than plane tickets, but if that is the case, no one will sit at all, so high-speed rail has always been a money-losing business, and no one does it at all."

Wang Khan smiled.

"George, if what you just said is the boss of a company, it is indeed true, the high-speed rail will definitely lose money just by selling tickets, but you are not the boss of the company, you are the mayor of a city, you can't just look at the current situation."

George was stunned for a moment, and began to ponder.

At this time, Wang Khan further explained: "Indeed, just selling tickets, I am afraid that I will not even be able to earn back the maintenance cost of the high-speed rail, let alone make a profit." But have you considered the role of high-speed rail in driving the economy along the way? ”

"Needless to say, just promoting investment and driving development along the way is far more than the investment in high-speed rail. And this high-speed rail is connecting New York and San Francisco, San Francisco is the location of Silicon Valley, is the science and technology center of the beautiful country, and our New York is about to become a space city, the combination of technology and space, how much economic benefit do you think will be generated? ”

George's eyes lit up when he was spoken.

"You are the mayor of New York, you have executive power in your hands, and you can use a part of the government tax revenue to subsidize high-speed rail, so that you can achieve a double profit. But that's not the most critical, you know what the most critical is? ”

George is not stupid either, on the contrary, he was able to go from a small police officer to the position of chief, which in itself proves that he is capable.

"The hole cards of the presidential race?!"

"Yes, once this high-speed railway is completed, it will become the most advantageous card for you to run for president, especially when the economy along the way is up, no matter what those people from political families say, in the face of real money and silver results, they will become pale and powerless, and the majority of the people are not fools, they will definitely choose a person who has made achievements, and will not pay attention to those politicians who can only fire empty guns."

"As for the magistrates everywhere, they will even want you to come to power more than the people, because after you come to power, it means that the high-speed rail is likely to be built to them, so that the economy will go up, there will be more income, more taxes, and it can also solve the employment rate, reduce the crime rate and other benefits, as long as the officials in their right minds, who will refuse you?"

George was not stupid, of course he knew that Wang Khan was not exaggerating, and the truth was not complicated.

What's more, George is not like he thinks, he has no political capital at all.

I think that when the Scourge Beast occupied New York, he was the first to participate in the battle, and later the invasion of the Kitari, George led a large number of Martian soldiers to the front line, these are all real achievements, that is, political capital, plus there is a protective umbrella thigh for him to hold, George is completely qualified to run for president.

George, who felt that something was going to happen, began to recruit relevant teams, and then went to San Francisco to visit.

Wang Khan returned to the company, and soon Gwen came to find him.

After the two made out for a while, Gwen sat in Wang Khan's arms.

"Khan, are you really going to build a high-speed rail in a beautiful country? Although we are not short of money now, it is too expensive to build high-speed rail, and it is also troublesome, especially for the red-necked people in underdeveloped areas, they have no strength to go to work, but the trouble is more and more energetic. ”

"Haha, the red neck is difficult, let's just ignore them."

Gwen was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

"You mean to say that high-speed rail is only built between big cities?"

"Of course, although high-speed rail can promote the urban economy, but there is also a limit, some poor mountains and bad waters, even if there is high-speed rail, it still can't drive the local economy, so high-speed rail can only be built between big cities, your dad to run for president, you don't need to fight for everyone's votes, as long as you get 270 votes."

The election of the president of the beautiful country adopts the electoral college system, not universal suffrage, and the votes cast by ordinary citizens are just to elect a spokesperson.

You can understand it as their people's congress deputies, and then these people's congress deputies vote to decide the final ownership of the president, which is the electoral college system.

The total number of Electoral College votes is 539, so whoever gets 270 Electoral College votes first will be elected president of a beautiful country.

Carrying Gwen to the bathroom.

"There are still three years to go, and it will take three years to build the high-speed rail from New York to San Francisco, and then use this hole card, and your father, the president, will be stable, and at that time, the whole beautiful country will be our family."
