"The 'maglev faction' was proposed by the Ministry of Science and Technology, and there are many academicians behind it, and the senior management attaches great importance to it. The construction faction', in fact, compared to the 'suspension faction', they have become the 'wheel rail faction', they want to refute it, but they can't do it! The opponents are a bunch of top scientists, how can you compete with them? Lin Xingjian said.

"Later, the 'maglev faction' successfully persuaded the high-level to build a test line in Shanghai! How much did it cost? Lin Lao asked.

"A total of 9 billion has been invested, and the key operating costs are extremely high, about one billion a year. You must know that the construction budget of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway is around 200 billion. Lin Xingjian said.

Liang Jiangtao was stunned.

Such a small section of the line will cost so much money a year, and after a few more years of operation, the construction cost of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway will soon come out.

"Alas, it can't be said that they are wrong, right, but after investing tens of billions of dollars to build such a small experimental field, is there enough necessity in this? There are 60,000 kilometers of railways across the country, and the electrification speed is enough to use this money at one time. Lin Xingjian shook his head.

As a financial family, he is in charge of the money bag, he is distressed!

"Maglev technology is now in the experimental stage all over the world, Japan's Yamanashi maglev test line is 18.4 kilometers, Germany's Emsland maglev test line is 31.5 kilometers, of course, these two sets of lines are not commercially operated, only for passengers to experience, more like showing off results. Of course, there is a bigger obstacle to maglev technology, that is, it is not compatible with existing wheel-rail lines, and if it is to be built, it must be built from scratch, and the cost is much higher than that of wheel-rail high-speed rail. Just look at the test line in Shanghai, with half of the state subsidy, the fare for less than 30 kilometers will cost more than 50, who will take it? It's all some tour groups to experience, and it's similar to the sightseeing route. Lin Wencheng shook his head and said, as the director of the Railway Division of the Transportation Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, he treasured these data.

From the perspective of an objective third party, Lin Xingjian and Lin Wencheng both support the wheel rail faction, that is, the construction faction.

Although Lin Lao didn't say it explicitly, it almost meant the same thing.

The Lin family's family style is relatively pragmatic, and they feel that the maglev train is a bit flashy.

Even if it is built, its cost will be much higher than that of traditional wheel-rail high-speed rail.

Its value is more recovered in the political account, after all, we have built the world's most advanced maglev train, walking in the forefront of the world.

Is it necessary?

Basic industries should first meet the requirements of the development stage, play a significant role in promoting economic and social development, and make as little investment as possible.

The input-output ratio is an indicator that cannot be bypassed in decision-making in the economic field.

Lin Lao explained the ins and outs of the high-speed rail construction clearly, which opened Liang Jiangtao's eyes.

Originally, he only knew the "consequences", but now he even knows the "antecedents" clearly, and he feels that the mouth in his mind is suddenly opened, and there is no hindrance in his thoughts.

What to do, he knows exactly what to do!

Now, in fact, the main contradiction is the wheel-rail faction and the maglev faction.

Their balance of power has changed several times over the course of a few years.

But with the construction of the Shanghai test line, it marks that the maglev faction has the upper hand.

Only after a few years, when the maglev technology has not made a breakthrough for a long time and the test line has failed, will it return to the correct path of traditional wheel-rail high-speed rail.

In this way, years of opportunity costs will be wasted.

In fact, you don't have to pay this tuition fee at all.

What Liang Jiangtao needs to do now is to persuade the high-level with a determined attitude and save precious time!

"Grandpa, uncle, third brother, I understand! That's how I understand it, the choice of technology and construction time of high-speed railway is not a technical issue, but a strategic issue, which cannot be technicalized or politicized, but should seek truth from facts, fully base on the needs of economic and social development and the current level of science and technology, choose a road suitable for China as soon as possible, and resolutely advance, fast, and steady! Liang Jiangtao said.

Lin Lao's eyes lit up, and he said: "The son can be taught, and I haven't wasted my hard work!" ”

Liang Jiangtao's words are not leaky, but everyone who understands understands that he is basically inclined to wheel and rail construction.

In fact, in Lin Lao's eyes, this controversy is really a little too unnecessary.

If in the past few years, the stuffy head will be dry, and the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway will be built, which is the least costly approach.

Now it has been delayed again and again, and time has been wasted.

If it is delayed for a few more years, even if the magnetic levitation technology makes a breakthrough, it will not be of much significance.

This is also the reason why Lin Lao just said that he was to blame.

He was already regretting it, why didn't he make up his mind to push this matter forward!

However, now that he has retired from the front-line position, it is not suitable to take care of such a specific matter.

For Lin Xingjian, the Ministry of Finance is only responsible for allocating funds.

As for who to allocate to, it is a matter for the NDRC and other business ministries and commissions.

Even if he had a definite idea in his heart, it was not appropriate to say more.

As for Lin Wencheng, he is only the director now, and he is soft-spoken.

But Liang Jiangtao is different, although the level is low, but the leader of this work appointed by the National Development and Reform Commission can certainly exert influence publicly.

Lin Lao also came to be interested, hoping to make up for his regrets through his future grandson-in-law.

"Grandpa, what should I do?" Liang Jiangtao humbly asked.

For him, how to choose a route is not a matter of brains at all, it is definitely a wheel-rail faction!

This was paid for a few years of tuition in later generations.

His most important task is to quickly get the path in the right direction!

The point is, how to stop?!

Now, the Shanghai test line has also been built, which incurs a high cost of silence.

It is difficult for the leaders at the top to easily agree to build a traditional high-speed rail now!

It's hard!

"Good decision-makers should know to stop losses in time, we have delayed too much time on this issue, first of all, we must unify our thinking within the National Development and Reform Commission, and give you full authority, and secondly, we must strive for the support of more ministries and commissions as soon as possible, first get the Ministry of Communications, the Civil Aviation Administration, and then let the Ministry of Railways form a unified system, we must make good use of the experts and scholars of the wheel and rail school, make a fuss from the direction of technical development, and then apply for a high-level demonstration meeting, and I will help you!" Lin Lao Dao.

"I understand, Grandpa Lin!"

It's much easier to know the exact conclusion first, and then to argue it.

Speaking in public is also his forte, so let's see how he performs, right?

Plus the support of the Lin family.

Needless to say, the influence of the Lin family in the economic field will definitely be achieved!

Later, Lin Lao and Lin Xingjian helped Liang Jiangtao plan in detail, and Liang Jiangtao nodded yes.

This matter is really a major national event.

It would be great if it could help the country save a few years of time.

Of course, this process may offend some people, but he doesn't care at all.

Where the road is, although tens of millions of people go to me!
