Resource Tycoon Reborn

Mianhui City is located in the north and west of Shaocheng City, at the junction of the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the edge of the Shuchuan Basin. The altitude of the urban area is about 1,300 meters. It is an economically underdeveloped area of ​​Shu Province, with a registered population of nearly 11

It is a county-level city with a population of 10,000 people. Although it is only about a hundred kilometers away from the small city, there are no railways or highways passing through the surrounding area, which makes national highways and provincial highways the only ways to enter Mianhui City. Moreover, the standards of these roads

It’s not very high either. Most of them are third-class highways. Some sections are widened to second-class highways. In some places, they can only accommodate two cars running in parallel! There are often steep cliffs on one side of the road and rushing mountains on the other.

rivers, even deep river valleys!

In the early morning, there were not many vehicles traveling on the road, but a strange convoy with a police car at the front and a police car in the middle, and six off-road vehicles that looked good at first glance, still attracted the attention of many drivers on the road.

"The performance of your car is great!" Lu Jingzhong patted the seat under him and said with emotion. He has been in Shu Province for some time and has visited many places in Shu Province, especially Mianhui City.

I have taken this trip more than once or twice, but it has never been as comfortable as today. Although the road conditions are not good, sitting in the car, I can't feel many obvious bumps, and the car is very quiet.

He could neither hear the sound of the motive nor the sound outside the car window, which meant that he was not sleepy. Otherwise, he would have been able to fall asleep safely! In the past, when he went to inspect places like Mianhui City, if his body

Those with poor foundation may make people vomit bumpily along the way!

"You get what you pay for. The performance of this car is good, but the price of buying one of it is enough to buy more than a dozen domestic Jeeps." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. Two of these Land Rover off-road vehicles were taken with him on the plane.

The other four vehicles they brought were transported to Shaocheng City in advance. Although Fang Mingyuan has never been to Mianhui City, he knew from the news about rescue and disaster relief that Mianhui City and Shaocheng City are just across the road.

After a hundred kilometers, the road conditions are completely different! In this kind of place, of course this kind of off-road vehicle is more suitable.

"That's too expensive!" Lu Jingzhong sighed. He didn't know enough about the car's brand, especially the foreign brand, but this did not prevent him from coming to the conclusion that it was impossible for government departments to purchase such a car.

"Well, it's a bit more expensive. Almost more than 60% of the money is paid in taxes!" Fang Mingyuan said, "It's nearly three times more expensive than the U.S. market price!" Lu Jingzhong's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but think.

Come up, Su Huandong once told him that Fang Mingyuan was very dissatisfied with the current situation of high taxes and low welfare in China. Especially under this situation, the government still had deficits and debts every year, and the use of a large amount of funds was not transparent.

Even more dissatisfied.

Fang Mingyuan glanced out the window and said softly: "This is the sixth bridge." There are many rivers in Shu Province, and there are many bridges along the way from Shaocheng to Mianhui City, but these bridges, Fang Mingyuan doubts that they can

It cannot withstand that big earthquake. Once the earthquake explodes, how to rebuild the bridge as soon as possible is a problem that must be solved.

"The Prime Minister has persuaded the relevant departments to mobilize nearly thirty steel bridges for combat readiness. Now these materials are in the Shaocheng Military Region, just in case." Lu Jingzhong said softly. Lu Jingzhong only learned about it two months ago.

When he heard the news that there might be a major earthquake in Mianhui City in the near future, he was completely confused at that time. If the person who told him the news was not his old boss Su Huandong, he would have thought he was joking with him. But when he knew

The more detailed it is, the more shocked it becomes. Considering the changes in some garrison troops in Shu Province since the Chinese New Year, as well as some actions of the companies under the Fang family in Shu Province in the past two years, plus the huge amount of money that Su Huandong had hoarded by Fang Mingyuan in Shu Province.

He looked at the list of emergency and disaster relief supplies, and then he was sure that Su Huandong and Fang Mingyuan were serious!

"I'm afraid it's not enough. It's best to prepare another batch. If multiple roads are needed to advance to the epicenter at the same time, thirty combat-ready steel bridges may not be enough." Fang Mingyuan said softly. Although he knew Mianhui City in his previous life.

The roads connecting with the outside world are not easy to walk. Otherwise, after an earthquake, it would take a lot of effort just to open the roads. Already narrow roads are often surrounded by rivers or canyons on one side and mountains on the other.

It has also been damaged by earthquakes, and it is easy for secondary disasters to occur after heavy rains.

"Well, I will mention this to the Prime Minister." Lu Jingzhong nodded. Although in his opinion, thirty combat-ready steel bridges should be enough, he would not refute Fang Mingyuan's face, since it is comparable to Tangshan

In the event of a major earthquake, it is better to be prepared than to have nothing on hand! Today is no longer the 1970s. It is undoubtedly foolish to rely solely on manpower for rescue and disaster relief, especially when you have already prepared in advance.

Under the premise, it is natural to do things as best as possible!

I also deeply admire Fang Mingyuan's boldness. He actually invested tens of billions of dollars in an earthquake that was difficult to determine whether it would happen or not, and even made a movie about it, and the screening was very popular.

It was so huge that he wished that everyone around the world knew about it. That was all. He actually dared to come to the epicenter of the earthquake in person on the eve of the earthquake. To be honest, Lu Jingzhong was worried in his heart. Earthquakes were something he never listened to. What time could he say?

It comes at any time, and it is difficult to accurately predict it all over the world. If it explodes while Fang Mingyuan is in Mianhui City, it will be like an old hen in a weasel's den!

But Fang Mingyuan had to go in person, so how could he say that he wouldn't go? In terms of age, status, wealth, and social influence, although Fang Mingyuan was not a member of the system, most people would definitely think that he was not going.

He is more important than Lu Jingzhong. There is only one "square" in the world, and there are one hundred and eighty deputy governors in China! Which one is more important and which one is less important? Is there any need to compare? So Lu Jingzhong can only grit his teeth and accompany him.

, we can only pray that the earthquake will not happen in advance.

In fact, many people don't agree with Fan Mingyuan's approach, but if Fan Mingyuan doesn't go there personally to take a look, he always feels uneasy. Although the risk is indeed there, after all, there is still time before the earthquake in his memory.

It will take almost half a month, and if it breaks out in advance, maybe the magnitude of the earthquake can be lowered. As long as he is not in a dead place with nowhere to hide, nothing big will happen to him. These people he brought with him,

But they were all elite guards! Of course, to be on the safe side, he did not ask Shi Zhihui and Lin Rong to come together.

While walking forward, Lu Jingzhong introduced the situation of Mianhui City to Fang Mingyuan. The natural resources of Mianhui City, including animal and plant resources, can be said to be very rich. There are more than 4,000 plant species and more than 2,000 wild animal species.

, among which there are four rare animals under first-level national protection, including giant pandas and golden monkeys! Within the territory, the forest coverage rate is very high, and due to the difference in altitude, the climate here is so changeable that the weather can vary from ten miles to ten miles.

"Governor Lu, the province must be mentally prepared for heavy rainfall in the earthquake area after the earthquake occurs." Fang Mingyuan reminded that he had checked the meteorological data of Mianhui City over the years, and in May, it had already entered the

Rainy season. Areas that have experienced geological disasters are prone to secondary disasters under the influence of rain.

"Manpower is sometimes poor, and it all depends on God's will!" Lu Jingzhong waved his hands helplessly, "It's useless to make too many preparations. The weather forecast here is 9 out of 10 accurate. Sometimes in the first few minutes

The sun is still shining brightly, but if a strong wind blows, it may rain. Even the old people here cannot predict the short-term changes in the weather here in advance."

Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Does this kind of weather have a great impact on the helicopter's flight?"

"Definitely, the sudden change in weather here is a big trouble for helicopter flying. If a pilot is not familiar with this place or is not skilled enough, it is easy for him to have an accident due to the sudden change in weather and complex terrain!" Lu Jingzhong suddenly pointed forward and said, "Hey

?Is that a helicopter?" Fang Mingyuan looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough he saw a helicopter flying over from the sky not far away.

"The civilian version of the Mi-171 helicopter designed by Russia's Miri Design Bureau and produced by Russia's Ulan Aviation Production Union!" Wu Aiguo, who was driving, only glanced at it and turned his attention back to the road.

"Oh, Mi-171 helicopter!" Fang Mingyuan said clearly. Considering the geographical conditions of Mianhui City and the possibility that the roads leading to the earthquake area would be inaccessible in the event of a major earthquake, Su Huandong had already arrived in Shu Province in advance.

Dozens of helicopters have been arranged. It seems that the pilots of these helicopters are familiar with the route in advance. Of course, they will not understand the true purpose of letting them fly here.

"How is the performance of the Mi-171 helicopter?" Lu Jingzhong asked curiously. He knew everything about these military equipment. He just felt that the helicopter that just flew by looked quite big.

"The Mi-171 helicopter is a modernized and improved version of the Mi-17 helicopter. It has been produced since 1991. It is equipped with a large number of Russian troops and is also exported overseas. There are about four to five hundred of them in various countries around the world. It is considered a good model among helicopters.

The one that just flew over should be the civilian version of the Mi-171, which can be used to perform cargo, passenger and rescue missions. This helicopter has some navigation and radio equipment specially developed and produced for helicopters, so it can operate in harsh weather conditions.

, including flying in areas with low ground visibility or high latitudes, 6. And it can also load and unload large cargo while hovering, which is more suitable for the Mianhui City area." Wu Xingguo answered casually.

Lu Jingzhong suddenly realized, and secretly sighed in his heart, Su Huandong didn't know how much preparation he had made in advance and how many favors he had used for this earthquake. If the earthquake came as promised, there would be nothing to say, no matter what Su Huandong did because of it.

How many things that seemed illegal in the eyes of others could be saved, and tens of thousands of people's lives could be saved. Based on this, the winner cannot be blamed! But if this earthquake did not come, or the magnitude was far lower than expected

, then Su Huandong may be subject to many constraints in his subsequent term of office, and it is not entirely impossible to even be ignored. If Su Huandong had not fully trusted Fang Mingyuan and attached great importance to the lives and property of citizens,

How could it be possible to take such a big risk?

But thinking about it on the other hand, Lu Jingzhong couldn't blame Fang Mingyuan for anything. The price Fang Mingyuan paid for this possible earthquake was also extremely shocking. Not to mention what would happen to the Fang family if Su Huandong was affected by this.

Various intangible losses, including materials and funds alone, Fang Mingyuan's direct losses amounted to tens of billions of yuan! However, he had already learned from Su Huandong and the seismologists who were stationed here.

Look, there is indeed a high possibility of an earthquake in Mianhui City, and experts believe that it is likely to happen within a month or two after the beginning of May, which makes him feel a little more stable.

Fang Mingyuan and his convoy traveled nearly 100 kilometers from Shaocheng City to Mianhui City for nearly two and a half hours. During this period, they saw a total of six Mi-171 helicopters flying over. Finally, at 11:20 in the morning, Mianhui City

The urban area of ​​Fei City appeared in the distance.

The convoy found an empty space and stopped. Everyone got out of the car to stretch their muscles. Although the off-road shock absorption function of the Land Rover off-road vehicle was excellent, the almost two and a half hour journey also made everyone in the car feel a little tired.

, as for drivers who are highly focused, this is even more true.

"Governor Lu, let's go our separate ways. I won't meet with the officials in Mianhui City first." Fang Mingyuan stood at the edge of the empty field, looking at the city in the distance and said, "I will tell these officials

I don’t understand either, and I can’t control the right way to speak. If I say something I shouldn’t say, I’ll be in trouble.”

Lu Jingzhong pondered for a moment and sighed. Mianhui City had indeed arranged for his own people to be recruited, but the number was too small. He had not been in Shu Province for a long time, and he had not yet completely consolidated his position. Although it was said that Shu

He is not alone in the province, but the problem is that this matter is really... There is no way to tell others. Everyone who is informed in advance must be someone who can and deserves full trust, otherwise the news will be leaked in advance.

If they go out, they will be completely passive.

Acknowledging the possibility of an earthquake may cause panic among people in Mianhui City and surrounding areas, including Shaocheng, and impact social order. But if we do not admit it, unless the earthquake does not occur, then the government will

Another powerful blow to our credibility! (To be continued.) 8
