"Later, I left the State Planning Commission, and the discussion on the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway was put on hold for the time being."

"A few years later, as the economic development continued to accelerate, the shortage of railway capacity became more prominent, and the leaders of the State Planning Commission and the Ministry of Railways once again restarted the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway demonstration."

In 90 years, the Ministry of Railways submitted the "Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway Line Concept Report". Subsequently, with the approval of the State Council, the State Development Planning Commission, the State Science and Technology Commission, the State Economic and Trade Commission, the State Commission for the Reform of the System, and the Ministry of Railways jointly formed a research group to conduct an in-depth study of the "Preliminary Research Report on Major Technical and Economic Issues of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway." Subsequently, the State Council approved the pre-feasibility study report of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, and the Ministry of Railways immediately established the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway feasibility study office to prepare for further feasibility studies. ”

"At this stage, everything is going pretty well. But at this time, a key figure stood up, he is a veteran figure in China's railway industry, and one of the representatives of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway's 'slow construction faction', Gu Chengye! ”

"Gu Chengye is an expert who has worked in the Ministry of Railways for a lifetime, conscientious and conscientious, has made great contributions, at that time had retired, when he went abroad to visit relatives, he accidentally saw the latest production of X2000 tilting train abroad!"

"This type of train has obvious disadvantages, the train tilts when turning to maintain the balance of the center of gravity, and of course, the passengers inside are also very uncomfortable. However, it has the same obvious advantages, it can reach speeds of up to 200 kilometers per hour, and it is not much more expensive than traditional trains! In the eyes of Gu Chengye and many people, this is much more cost-effective than building high-speed rail! ”

After returning from abroad, Gu Chengye urgently wrote a report to the central government, and unsurprisingly, he was highly valued! Because of his point of view, he is on the current death hole in Huaxia, lack of money! At the same time, his report also said that the data of the railway department were inaccurate, overestimating capacity and underestimating volume, so the construction of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway should be delayed. Lin Lao said.

Liang Jiangtao's eyes widened, according to his understanding of the system, it is not ruled out that there is a situation that Gu Chengye said in the Ministry of Railways, but the lack of capacity of the Beijing-Shanghai line is also obvious.

Let's just say that now, a train ticket is hard to find, and passengers queue up all night to buy tickets, all they buy are station tickets, and the carriage is so crowded that they can't stand up.

Of course, he didn't have this experience after being reborn, but there were many such scenes before rebirth, he remembered once going to the capital, there was no place to put down when his legs were raised, all kinds of unpleasant smells, five or six hours of driving, it was almost squeezed to death, and if he didn't squeeze to death, he had to smoke to death.

The phenomenon of difficulty in buying tickets has become a pain point in social and people's livelihood.

He didn't know, did the experts make a site visit when they made recommendations?

Or is it just a pat on the head?

There is an article behind how qualitative and quantitative analysis strike a balance.

"Not only Gu Chengye, but also a railway veteran Qin Siyuan is also a figure of the 'slow construction faction', he wrote two heavyweight internal references, "the new Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway is not a top priority" and "On the new Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway is not a top priority" reported to the central government, which further influenced high-level economic decision-making. I have both of these articles here, and you can take them to read. Lin Lao said.

Liang Jiangtao nodded, he further realized the importance of the article, if it is well written, there are channels to send it directly to the leadership, and it can really affect the country's major policies with thousands of words.

It's no wonder that his internal references have earned him such a great reputation.

He has also heard that in the officialdom, many people have been appreciated by the leaders by virtue of an article, and since then they have entered the hall, the carp jumped into the dragon gate, and stepped into an important leadership position, which is quite a bit of "the court is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is the Tianzi Hall".

Therefore, the most powerful martial arts and weapons in the system are articles!

It's been the same since ancient times!

"At this point, the 'slow construction faction' has the upper hand, in any case, with the new technical direction and alternatives, rashly investing such a huge amount of money to build high-speed rail has become a rash thing, no one is willing to take this responsibility, and the feasibility study has been shelved again." Lin Lao Dao.

"Grandpa Lin, how do I feel that the 'Slow Construction faction' are all retired veteran cadres of the Ministry of Railways, is there a factional dispute here?" Liang Jiangtao asked a pointed question.

"You are very sensitive, it should be said that most of the 'slow construction faction' are retired old cadres, and most of the so-called 'construction faction' are the young Zhuang faction on the current table of the Ministry of Railways. However, they do not fight because of private interests, but because there are great differences in political and ideological concepts between them. For example, Gu Chengye and Qin Siyuan, they are both cadres who were trained and raised under the industrial system of the Soviet Union, and their thinking is conservative, believing that railway construction should be set according to demand, and not too much advanced investment, otherwise the financial burden is too heavy, and it is easy to breed corruption. However, the Shaozhuang faction, represented by Zhou Yikun, advocates embracing the world, using the latest technology to speed up, and working as fast as possible, so that the railway can continue to play the role of a leader and vanguard in transportation. Lin Lao said.

Zhou Yikun?

Liang Jiangtao heard a familiar name.

The newly appointed Minister of Railways is very well-known in the whole of China!

These are both positive and negative.

First of all, he is extremely capable, is the promoter of high-speed rail construction, and has made tangible contributions to the construction of high-speed railways with independent property rights in China!

In addition, he is a corrupt official, in the Ministry of Railways, he has a tough style, says everything, and even corrupts the law, sells official positions, and seriously violates the law and commits crimes, which is outrageous!

He has served in the railway system for a long time, starting as a road maintenance worker in the public works section and working his way up to the minister, and his influence is spread throughout the railway system.

Due to its high status, the railway system has always been known as the "iron boss", and is known as an independent kingdom that cannot be inserted by a needle or splashed with water.

In this "kingdom", Zhou Yikun seems to be an incomparable existence, taking the lead in corruption and corrupting the atmosphere!

The party has always been a party whose merits and demerits do not offset each other.

Merit is merit, and transgression is excess.

There was merit, and the party and the state did not treat him badly and made him a minister.

And if he commits a crime, he will naturally not be open to him, and he will naturally be severely punished by party discipline and state law!

On the other hand, although their opinions on the construction of high-speed rail are not necessarily correct, Liang Jiangtao feels that there should be no problem with their personal integrity.

There are some things that are hard to say.
