There is no need for Li Mai to speak directly, Qianchong already knows what Li Mai is going to do.

He was going to dig the Tyklar Isthmus and dig a canal.

If this canal can be excavated and put into operation, it will directly change the pattern of Southeast Asia, Asia and even the world.

And the Kra Canal is of the same significance to the Republic as the return of Outer Mongolia!

The idea of digging a canal there was already alive decades ago. No one dares to take matters concerning the country's strategic interests lightly. In the 90s of the last century, Li Mai's father, Li Lu, had this idea and took the opportunity to promote this project in the ever-changing international environment at that time. It's a pity that before he could achieve it, he fell into the internal struggle.

(For details, please refer to "1990 Recast" and "1995 Rise of Great Powers")

The so-called fulfillment of his father's unfulfilled wish refers to the Kra Canal.

"Money aside, have you considered the pressure from home and abroad to push forward with the excavation of this canal?" Qianchong said in a deep voice, "At present, 90 percent of the volume of sea traffic coming from the direction of the Indian Ocean enters the South China Sea through Malacca. ”

Smiling, Qianchong said, "If nothing else, Singapore alone will desperately oppose the construction of the Kra Canal." ”

"The resistance will definitely be very high. However, a small country like Singapore has not been able to turn over any storms before, and it can't turn over any storms now. "I'm more worried about the resistance of the country and the country where the canal crosses. ”

Qianchong nodded slowly, "There are a group of pro-new scholars and political elites in China, most of them have the experience of studying and training in Singapore, and now this group of people is all over all walks of life, and some of them are still the brains of the gods." The resistance here is the greatest. ”

After thinking about it, Li Mai said, "Uncle Qian, I have a simpler and more brutal way. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

Li Mai said: "Put these pressure and resistance problems aside, as long as the money is in place, the construction team is in place, and you only need to solve the problems of the local government, and start digging." First form the facts, who wants to jump out and oppose it, and if there are any problems that pop up, then solve them one by one. ”

"Uncle Qian, no matter what you do, the excavation of this canal must be difficult. Rather than spending energy on preliminary negotiations, it is better to turn the canal on paper into a partial fact. ”

Qianchong frowned and thought for a while, and said, "You mean to send government factors to operate this matter in the form of private capital?"

"That's right. ”

Looking at Li Mai, Qianchong said slowly, "You've been planning this for a long time, haven't you?"

"I've always had this idea in my heart before. It was my son, Hao Hao, who made me determined to turn this idea into reality. I've got to do it. For the children of Haohao's generation. Li Maiyan said.

Qian Chong extinguished the cigarette butt and said no more, he stood up and said, "I originally wanted to inform you of some information from above, but now it seems that there is no need for it." Instead, I'll have to report back to you. ”

Li Mai stood up, he knew that Qianchong was already making it clear that he would support him.

"Uncle Qian, thank you. ”

Waving his hand, Qianchong just smiled and walked out, "I'll go back." ”

After sending Qianchong away, Li Mai called Hu Wenbing and Wei Zhenhua.

Soon, they all came to Li Mai's office and sat down in the position where they had just been filled.

Seeing the map on the coffee table and the faint horizontal line on it, Hu Wenbing and Wei Zhenhua knew what Li Mai was going to talk to them about.

After lighting the cigarette and smoking, Li Mai began to say, "Uncle Qian came here just now." I guess he's here to persuade me not to push the people behind Qin Guohua too hard, hehe. Let's go to Daben Bao today to make trouble, and the invisible bosses behind them are all in pain. ”

Wei Zhenhua snorted, "These things are quite brainy. Looking at one is poorer than the other, in fact, one is richer than the other. I just found out that the fourth son shop made so much money. ”

"There's so much you don't know. Li Mai said, "Let's get down to business." I talked to Uncle Qian about my thoughts. He didn't say it in the end. ”

Pointing to the map, Li Mai said, "Actually, I don't say it, you all guessed what I was going to do with so much money." It's about digging out this canal. ”

Hu Wenbing and Wei Zhenhua nodded solemnly, they both knew the difficulty of this matter, and they also knew the impact of this matter after it was completed.

"Let's split things in two. Put the canal matter aside for now, concentrate your efforts, and get the money first. Li Mai said.

Wei Zhenhua asked puzzledly, "Maizi, Qin Guohua and the people behind him, how can we get money from them? The entire Guosheng Group is afraid that there is no 10 billion, let alone 300 billion." ”

Hu Wenbing also asked, "Lao Li, several large enterprises have indeed exceeded this number of times every year in excess of the standard of eating and drinking. But they don't consciously take the initiative to cut the money and send it to you, right?"

Li Mai smiled slightly, "That's right, I just want them to send the money over." As for what they do, I can't control it, and I don't want to do it. ”

Hu Wenbing and Wei Zhenhua looked at each other, and the latter said, "It's not that easy." You don't know how many people are involved in that, and when they join forces, they may not be able to compromise, right?"

Shaking his head, Li Mai said, "Some people wish they could join forces and catch them all in one place, saving some effort." I'm not worried about whether they'll take out the money. On the contrary, he was worried that the Jade Emperor would turn a blind eye, if he had both eyes open, he wouldn't have three thousand yuan, let alone three hundred billion. ”

Wei Zhenhua knocked on his skull in distress, "I really don't understand politics, it's too nerve-wracking." Just say what we should do now. ”

Li Mai smiled slightly, "Bai Jianren is a fulcrum, and with him, you can pry up the earth." ”

Hu Wenbing thought for a moment, "Whether the Jade Emperor closes one eye or opens two eyes depends on how much effort we use to tacitly cooperate at this time." That's right, it's important to use Bai Jianren well. ”

"People in the villa, Xia Ketian brought more than a dozen people to guard it 24 hours a day, and it was very safe. Wei Zhenhua said, suddenly remembering something, "By the way, tomorrow is the Steel City Bidding Meeting." ”

Li Mai asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

Wei Zhenhua was anxious all of a sudden, and said, "The bidding meeting for the Z001 project will be known tomorrow." Qin Guohua's grandson won't let you get it so comfortably. ”

"If you don't talk about you, I really forgot. Li Mai patted his head, but said confidently, "But don't worry, that project will be mine sooner or later." I'm still waiting to take advantage of this project to train the troops and pull out a strong construction team. ”

"Anyway, the more than 1,000 skilled workers I found you have been trained for three months, and if they don't work, the hearts of the people may be scattered. Wei Zhenhua said.

"More than 1,000 people are enough, continue to search, all over the country, no matter what nature of enterprises, as long as they are skilled workers, they must be. Without a team of tens of thousands, I wouldn't have dared to dig a canal. Li Mai said with a smile.

Wei Zhenhua was stunned for a moment and said, "Then we can only find a way to dig up their people from a few major water conservancy and hydropower companies." ”

"Think again, think differently. Li Mai smiled and pointed.

Hu Wenbing also smiled and said, "Old Wei, you can think of a way from the armed police system, this is the system you are most familiar with." ”

Wei Zhenhua patted his head, "Yes, why didn't I think of it." There are so many veterans of the Armed Police Water Conservancy and Hydropower Force every year, and I have to start first and make a deposit first. I'll do it. ”

After saying that, he got up and walked away quickly. It's his style to get things done in a hurry.

"I also went back, and the standing thing can't leave for a long time. ”

Li Mai sent them all away, paced back and forth a few steps, looked at the time, and it was time to leave work in just over an hour, and it should be dinner time soon. I cleaned up my desk, grabbed my keys, and went out.
