Chapter 121 Rear-end incident

"Sister Lian, I have a hunch that with Mr. Milton's help, maybe I can really make a career in China's railway system." Looking at Milton's back entering the boarding channel, Fang Mingyuan said softly.

.

"Ah?" Lin Lian blinked in confusion. Although she listened and recorded the entire conversation today, she didn't seem to find anything except that she felt that Milton was quite knowledgeable and had a deep understanding of railway affairs.

A special place deserves this compliment from Fang Mingyuan.

Fang Mingyuan smiled and said nothing. The conversation between Milton and him today at the airport allowed him to confirm several facts.

Milton is worthy of being a senior management talent who once served as the vice president of the Union Pacific Railroad. It can be said that he has a very clear understanding of the future of the railroad. And from his words and those materials, it can be seen that after experiencing the Union Pacific

He, who was involved in railway company reform, probably knows better than most people in China about how to carry out railway company reform. It is also easier for him to understand the direction of reform that Fang Mingyuan hopes to achieve.

What's more valuable is that although this person is an American, he seems to be no stranger to the Chinese way of interpersonal communication. Fang Mingyuan just noticed that when Milton gave examples in the conversation, he often used the Union Pacific Railway.

Take the company as an example. In fact, there is no shortage of similar examples in the information Fang Mingyuan gave him. However, Milton rarely mentioned them. Fang Mingyuan believed that this was not because Milton could not remember those examples, but because he was taking care of himself.

Face. In other words, it is also a way to let himself know that he has already developed corresponding countermeasures for these stubborn diseases rooted in the Chinese railway system. This obscure and tactful way of speaking can be heard from an American.

It’s really not easy to hear.

In Fang Mingyuan's impression, when many Americans arrived in China, they were arrogant and gesticulated in China's affairs, as if they were saviors, which was annoying to see.

"This is also a fox, and an old fox at that!" Fang Mingyuan thought to himself that it was his luck that Cameron was able to send him to him. With him, Fang Mingyuan felt that future railway reform pilot projects could still be carried out.

A little more certainty. It can be said that the time has not come yet to completely reform China's railway system. However, on the premise that no property rights are involved, small-scale reforms can improve the profitability of the railway system, which will lay the foundation for the next step.

It is possible to prepare for reform.

Although after a long conversation with Mr. Fang, Fang Mingyuan also agreed with the old man's view that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, so as not to accumulate hardships in the future, but he is still doing his best to seek stability, and Milton's arrival is undoubtedly a help This was a big favor for him. Even if Milton could not be given a formal management position in the company in the future, he could still serve as his important adviser and intervene in the progress of railway reform at any time. With his long-term experience in the Union Pacific Railroad , it will definitely be of great help to future reforms.

The passenger plane flew into the blue sky with a huge roar. Although it was not known whether it was the flight Milton was on, it was meaningless for Fang Mingyuan and the others to stay here. The two of them turned and walked out of the terminal.

go.

Capital Airport is China's most important geographical location, the largest, most complete equipment, the busiest large-scale international airport in transportation and production. It is not only the air gateway to the capital of China and the window for external exchanges, but also the most important aviation hub of China's civil aviation.

It is the radiation center of China’s civil aviation network. It is currently the busiest civil airport in China and the base airport of China International Airlines. In the future, Beijing Capital International Airport will also replace Tokyo Narita International Airport and become the busiest in Asia in terms of aircraft movements.

airport

But in Fang Mingyuan's eyes, the Capital Airport in the 1990s looked quite dilapidated. Terminals 2 and 3 probably didn't even have plans, let alone the urban rail expressway from the Second Ring Road to the airport.

Even the expressway from the Third Ring Road to the airport was nowhere to be seen. They drove all the way here, but it took a lot of time. Not only was the driving speed slow, there were many traffic lights along the way, and all kinds of vehicles were mixed in. Passengers taking flights had to

It is necessary to leave several hours in advance to avoid delays due to gambling on the road.

Until Fang Mingyuan sat in the car, he was still thinking about whether he should get involved in the Capital Airport Expressway. This is a cornucopia and a money tree that can make any capitalist excited! Fang Mingyuan remembers it very clearly.

, in the previous life, the National Audit Office once issued an audit announcement on the construction, operation and management of toll roads, which mentioned the Capital Airport Expressway. With a total investment of less than 1.2 billion yuan, it has been open to traffic since 1993.

Starting from 2005, the fees collected reached 3.2 billion yuan, and it is expected that in the remaining toll period until 2027, nearly 10 billion yuan will be collected! Even if the daily maintenance of the highway is not included

In addition to employee wages, currency depreciation and other expenses, such long-term stable and generous returns are enough to make major companies in capitalist countries compete. This is completely huge profits!

In the previous life, with the help of the special policy of "loans to build roads and repay the loans with tolls", the Huaxia Expressway was spread across the land of China with lightning speed in more than 20 years, allowing the world to appreciate the speed of China. According to incomplete statistics

In less than twenty years, the mileage of Huaxia Expressway has increased from zero to more than 40,000 kilometers, ranking second in the world. By around 2010, the mileage of expressways in operation has increased to 80,000 kilometers.

It has played a huge role that cannot be ignored for the rapid growth of China's economy; however, people are also sad to see that the expressway, which is a symbol of China's modernization, has also transformed into a "high-priced highway that leaves money to buy the road" while developing rapidly.

highway".

According to the "Regulations on the Administration of Toll Roads" of the State Council of China, "If a loan-repaying highway has repaid the loan before the expiration of the approved toll collection period, the toll collection must be terminated and toll-free."

However, in a social environment in which local governments regard highway tolls as a piece of fat, first several highways in Beijing extended the toll period to 30 years, and then all provinces followed suit, and a highway in Guangdong Province

, and even extended the charging period to an unprecedented, and probably unprecedented, seven hundred and fifty-six years. It can be said that after it was built all the way, local citizens will have to pay for it from generation to generation.

In his previous life, Fang Mingyuan was also bitter about China's highway tolling model. Highways were originally a booster of economic development, but later developed into a tool for local governments and some people to make huge profits. In order to reduce

Cost, in order to reduce economic expenditure, I don’t know how many people have to go back to the national highways that do not charge a toll. People can’t help but ask where the taxes and fees collected by the state every year on vehicle transportation are used!

Such a piece of fat was placed in front of him and he was asked to give it up. Fang Mingyuan was a little unwilling. More importantly, Fang Mingyuan was worried that if he missed this opportunity, he would also miss a rare opportunity to change Huaxia Expressway Tolling Model.

!Although China is a country with written laws, we have to admit that in many cases, conventions are also an important rule that society cannot ignore. Fang Mingyuan really wants to establish a rule that can be followed for China's highway construction through his own efforts.

benchmark, thereby fundamentally solving the stubborn problem of highways turning into expensive highways.

Just when Fang Mingyuan was thinking about how to get this construction project from the Ministry of Transportation, the car that was originally traveling at a constant speed stopped slowly. Fang Mingyuan looked up and saw the intersection and the traffic lights.

While lamenting the hardships of returning to the city, there was a loud "bang~~~" sound, and the car body suddenly shook. A force came from the rear end of the car, shaking both Fang Mingyuan and Lin Lian sitting in the back seat.

She couldn't help but lean forward, and Lin Lian, who was caught off guard, hit her head on the backrest in front of her.

"Rear-end collision!" Chen Zhong, who was sitting in the front seat, cursed angrily. Looking back, Fang Mingyuan and Lin Lian were not seriously injured, mainly because they were unprepared and were more shocked. Fortunately, Chen Zhong

He reacted quickly and kept his foot on the brake. Even though he was hit, the car didn't move much.

"Sister Lian, you sit inside." Fang Mingyuan was also furious. Such an obvious traffic light sign actually caused a rear-end collision. How did the people behind drive?

The two of them pushed open the car door and looked back. They saw that there was also a Santana behind them, but it had a license plate from the Beijing City Government. There was an obvious dent in the front of the car. It seemed that the collision just now was not light. Look at themselves again.

The trunk of the car has been obviously deformed.

What made Fang Mingyuan even more annoyed was that there was a rear-end collision at the traffic light. Naturally, the car behind was fully responsible. But now, the two of them had gotten out of the car, and the people in the car behind were still as stable as a rock.

Chen Zhong was also very angry. He had been driving for Fang Mingyuan for so long, and he had never been in any traffic accidents. He never expected that his golden body would be broken today!

At this time, the door of the car behind opened, and a middle-aged man got out of the driver's seat. Before Chen Zhong could reach him, he smelled the smell of alcohol. This man was obviously driving drunk.

He was leaning against the car door, looking at his own car, then at Fang Mingyuan's car, and said nonchalantly: "Don't say anything... eh... call the police." He sat back in the car.

Fang Mingyuan's anger was even more intense, as if adding fuel to the fire. The person who hit him didn't even say sorry. Lin Lian's bump on the back of the chair was just like that?

In fact, there was no need to call the police at all. There was a traffic police box not far away, and soon two traffic policemen walked over from there. The man got out of the car.

Since the scene of the accident was clear at a glance, the traffic police only took a few glances and determined that the responsibility lay with the car behind. However, Fang Mingyuan noticed that after the man showed the two traffic policemen a look at his ID, the traffic policemen did not look at his driver's license again, and

He didn't say much about his drunkenness. The middle-aged man sat back in the car. From the beginning to the end, he didn't look at Fang Mingyuan and the others.

"The responsibility for the accident lies with the car behind you. You are not responsible. You must have insurance. After the damage is determined, let him pay the full amount for the loss." The traffic policeman said while opening the traffic accident handling form on Fang Mingyuan and his friends' deformed trunk.

Fang Mingyuan asked: "Then how to calculate the traffic inconvenience caused to me during the maintenance of my car? How to calculate the time spent in determining the damage and repairing the vehicle?"

"Then the only way is to go to court and prosecute him." Some older traffic policemen said casually without raising their heads, "We don't care about that."

"Then drunk driving and checking whether he has a driver's license should be your responsibility, right?" Fang Mingyuan asked, "Did you punish him? Did you provide safety education for his behavior? Why didn't I watch it?

arrive."

The pens in the hands of the two traffic policemen paused for a moment. The younger traffic policeman raised his head impatiently and said: "Kids, don't be wordy here. He hit your car and I'll just pay you for it. No matter what.

What more should be done? Is this something your child’s family can take care of? We should do what we have to do, we know what we are doing.”

"He hit our car and caused us a driving hazard. Then there was no apology, and we didn't see any punishment from you. We had to find a place to assess the damage and repair it ourselves, which delayed our own working time. How could this be possible?

Good thing! Your salary is the tax we pay. Why can't I intervene if you don't do anything or fulfill your responsibilities?" Fang Mingyuan was really angry. He knew the ins and outs of the matter without even thinking about it. It must have been two traffic policemen.

Looks like it's a city government car, so you're being arrogant! If he got out of the car and said sorry sincerely, Fang Mingyuan wouldn't have the leisurely temperament to get entangled with him.

It's not interesting. But he bumped into someone and acted like an uncle, which made Fang Mingyuan quit.

"We won't care about it if it's too verbose. Find someone who can take care of it!" The older traffic policeman suddenly slapped the trunk and said angrily to Chen Zhong, "Hey, take care of your child. He's in the way."

Our normal job!”

"Brother Chen, bring your phone!" Fang Mingyuan reached out and took the mobile phone from Chen Zhong, then pointed at the two traffic policemen and the car behind them and said, "Write down their police numbers and license plates, and I'll find someone who can take care of them.

"

Fang Mingyuan ignored the surprised looks of the two traffic policemen and rummaged through his mobile phone. It would be overkill to approach the Su family for this matter, but he was really unfamiliar with the traffic police in the capital, but this didn't bother him.

."Aunt Chai, it's me!"

Fang Mingyuan went to the side to make a phone call, but the two traffic policemen were shocked. Not everyone in the capital had that big brother, and judging from the boy's name, Chen Zhong didn't look like his family.

, more like bodyguards. The two looked at each other, winked at each other, walked around to Fang Mingyuan's car, and then noticed that on the front windshield of Fang Mingyuan's car, there was a pass for the Ministry of Railways compound.

Of course, this was arranged by Su Huandong to facilitate Fang Mingyuan's entry and exit.

The two people couldn't help but change their expressions. Not to mention the status of the Ministry of Railways among the various ministries and commissions of China, at least this pass proved that this car had the right to enter and exit the relevant offices of the Ministry of Railways. This alone showed that this was not a car.

Ordinary car! So obviously, the owner of the car is not an ordinary person.

In the car behind, there was a director from the Beijing Transportation Bureau. To the traffic police, this could be said to be half a family. Naturally, the two of them did not dare to neglect. When they wanted to come, it was a bus anyway, so they would naturally

It was the public compensation. And Fang Mingyuan and the others were satisfied after receiving full compensation, and they could have no more dissatisfaction. However, the two people who only paid attention to the license plate did not notice the pass posted in front, which was a mistake.

Isn't this young man from a government office of some kind? The capital city is very deep. Let alone department-level cadres, there are bureau-level, department-level, and ministerial-level cadres. To put it bluntly, they are all caught in large numbers. If it really happens,

If you accidentally offend the son of a high-ranking official, let alone the two of them, even the head of the traffic police team may not be able to bear it.

The most troublesome thing is that this time they have taken over the situation. They are powerful and justified. What else can the two of them do?

The young traffic policeman's poker face immediately put on a smile and he proactively handed Chen Zhong a cigarette.

The elderly traffic policeman immediately took three steps and then two, quickly came to the car that caused the accident, knocked on the window and said: "That director, that director, things are a bit troublesome. I want you to apologize!"

The car window rolled down, revealing the old face of the director who was red from drinking. The smell of alcohol immediately rushed out, "Bullshit! How can I, the director of the Transportation Bureau, apologize to them? I didn't promise to give it to them.

Have they paid for the car repairs? What else do they want? Is this simply leaderless? Does this harm the face of the city bureau? This..." His voice was quite loud, and Chen Zhong heard it clearly.

Even Fang Mingyuan, who was not far away, turned to look at him.

The older traffic policeman quickly interrupted him. If he continued, he didn't know if he had any more bizarre reasons. If he let the other party hear it, wouldn't it be more troublesome? "That director, the other party has a pass from the Ministry of Railways, and he has a pass in his hand.

You have a big brother, you are not an ordinary person! If you apologize, maybe this matter will be over. If you persist, they have said that since we can't control it, they will find someone who can!"

"Big brother is nothing, the pass from the Ministry of Railways is nothing..." The director breathed out the smell of alcohol and said nonchalantly, "Fuck~~~"

"That director!" The older traffic policeman stood looking at Fang Mingyuan and the others uneasily, and said softly, "Keep your voice down!"

"Why should I keep quiet? Let alone the pass from the Ministry of Railways. The Ministry of Railways is nothing!" The director waved his arms and said, "Quickly tell them to get out of the way. I have to go to the Fang Family Restaurant for a banquet."
