And when the follow-up continued to be clear, everyone understood.

It's to build a purely straight road, a two-lane road with four cars running in parallel.

Pedestrians and horses are not allowed on the road without stopping, and only steam cars are allowed on the road the whole time.

And there are no mountain roads, no detours.

Directly to hollow out the mountain and make a tunnel. When you encounter a river, you build a bridge.

Absolute high speed.

In fact, from Dongzhou to Quancheng County, there are many stops along the way. Once you're where you want to go, you can drive straight into the gateway and leave. It does not affect the oncoming cars behind.

Everyone couldn't help but begin to fantasize that if such a way really existed. And if this kind of road spreads throughout Dongzhou in the future, then the business will be easier to do in the future, and the transmission of information will be faster.

Time means efficiency. And what businessmen want is efficiency.

Du Taiping said with a smile: "The Road Administration Bureau will be established today." I don't know if you are interested in buying a share? ”

At this moment, the hall exploded like a hornet's nest.

Everyone was talking about it.

At this time, they must have understood what Du Taiping meant, that is, he was going to pay for it.

But the question they consider is certainly not whether to pay or not. They're discussing, is it worth the money?

Someone asked: "Du Tianzi." I would like to ask how much this road will cost? ”

Du Taiping said expressionlessly: "According to the preliminary budget, the cost of this road with a total length of 300 kilometers should be 10 billion Kyushu yuan. ”

Hiss –

Many people gasped, 10 billion, so expensive?

But some people still want to ask for details: "As far as I know, so wide, so long." And it's such a thing as digging tunnels and cracking rocks. The consumption should be very large, can you really take 10 billion? ”

That's the difference between a big businessman and a small businessman.

Small businessmen are marveling at how expensive it is.

But the big businessmen are thinking, can 10 billion be stopped?

Du Taiping nodded: "There is no problem with this. The rough estimate is around 10 billion, of course, the specific cost of the follow-up will be estimated by a special cost engineer. ”

"Since we have been summoned, we must be doing business in partnership with the government. It's not impossible to call us to invest, but how to make a profit? How to make a profit on this path? ”

"That's what we're talking about. Highways are profitable, and we make a profit by collecting tolls according to the length of the distance. According to statistics, Dongzhou currently has about 5,000 steam cars in circulation from Laoshan to Quancheng County every day. With such a huge traffic flow, coupled with the civilian version of the steam car that Xingtu Group is about to launch, this circulation rate will be greatly increased. ”

"Tolls for different distances are charged. It is possible to achieve a maximum return on investment of five years. ”

After Du Taiping finished speaking, Li Zhen picked up again:

According to the available data, it travels to and from Quancheng County and Laoshan County every day. Even the number of people from other places in the entire Dongzhou is very large. Especially from Laoshan to Quancheng, there is an endless stream. The second step of our plan is to develop buses and shuttles that radiate the whole territory of Dongzhou by the full agency of the Highway Administration Bureau. In this way, individual customers can be centralized. This is the second major source of revenue for the expressway. ”

“……”

After listening to Li Zhen's words, everyone's trust increased a lot. There is no why, just because he is Li Zhen.

In fact, the purpose of this meeting is only to put forward this idea, the road administration bureau has not yet been established, the specific cost and detailed data have not yet come out, naturally no one can be moved.

And just to put this concept to them is also to send a signal.

It's time to engage in domestic transportation.

This is state policy.

After bringing up this matter, he discussed some issues with them, and Li Zhen left.

After resting for the night, he returned to Laoshan with Xun Jiayuan.

The establishment of the Road Administration Bureau, as well as the promotion of investment, were handled by Du Taiping and Xun Shifei. Li Zhen is only responsible for formulating a large-scale policy, but is not responsible for specific implementation. Otherwise, it would have to tire him out.

And on the second day of Li Zhenhui's Laoshan Mountain, the New Kyushu Road Political Bureau was established.

A number of specialized expert groups immediately put the matter on the agenda, began to carry out mapping, and conducted field investigations.

Which mountains to get through.

Which mountains need to be bypassed.

This is all within the scope of the investigation.

The expert group took action, as did the businessmen who were interested in it. The businessmen also sent scientists from their respective companies to conduct field trips, mainly to the extent that the total investment was well known.

There are also people who go to investigate how many cars Xingtu Group has sold. Anyway, the entire Quancheng County is full of cars every day, but it is impossible to see the specific situation from a peep. It has to be understood.

The businessmen to understand it shows that they are taking it to heart.

I'm not afraid that they will understand, but I'm afraid that they will be indifferent.

If they are indifferent, who will take the money?

In a dream.

Li Zhen and Zhang Zhi met.

"You didn't show up late yesterday."

"I slept late yesterday."

"What did you do?"

"I'm going to have a meeting in Quancheng County."

Li Zhen told everything about yesterday in detail.

I like to tell her about the decisions I make every day. Because I have to admit that Zhang Zhi's gaze is indeed much farther away than Li Zhen, she can always see the shortcomings in the problem and the final result.

This is also the reason why every time Li Zhen makes a major decision, it is basically successful.

Because there is a person 10,000 years ago behind her, she is silently supporting.

After Zhang Zhi listened carefully to Li Zhen's words, he suddenly frowned: "Are there so many steam cars?" ”

"yes."

"Will there be more?"

"Yes."

"Don't you need to worry about coal resources?"

Zhang Zhi's face was full of doubt: "I've wanted to ask this question for a long time. If it is according to the normal law, the new Kyushu should take advantage of the use of electric energy. Why is there still a repetition of the steam age? Are coal resources sufficient? As far as I know, in my time, the world's coal resources have long been exhausted. Many coal mines in the country have closed their doors because they have long been hollowed out. It seems that the earth's coal reserves have long been gone. Even if it's a little rare, but it's passed on to your time...... That's already a scarce resource, right? ”

Li Zhen's face was dazed: "It's not scarce." That's a lot. ”

"How much?"

"That's right. In the past, people only used coals to bake fires. Not much exploitation. Now that the age of steam has risen, the price of coal has begun to rise. Nowadays, many businessmen in society have opened coal mines. According to statistics, there are hundreds of coal mines in the entire Dongzhou. The rest of New Kyushu is even more fertile. There is no scarcity. If it is scarce, how can the age of steam be successful? ”

Zhang Zhi suddenly exclaimed: "There are hundreds of coal mines in Dongzhou. How big? ”

"I haven't known about it, but it's probably a few hundred tons or thousands of tons of coal a day, right? I reckon. ”

"Impossible!"

Zhang Zhi screamed and looked at Li Zhen with some horror: "We...... Is it a world or not. ”
