There are no sleeper beds exposed in the corridor like those in China on the Beidou Star train. There are mainly double rooms and single rooms, which are divided into deluxe and ordinary types. The ordinary double rooms are somewhat similar to the soft sleepers in China. In the deluxe room

There is a writing desk, telephone, TV, and pajamas provided. It is just like a hotel room. There is a lounge and a dining car on the train. The special feature of the dining car is that you can eat Kaiseki cuisine and luxurious French meals. Of course, there are also

Ordinary meals. Fang Mingyuan and the three of them are now sitting in the dining car of the train, enjoying the kaiseki cuisine provided on the train while admiring the scenery outside the train.

Winter has entered Japan, and it snowed not long ago. It is not difficult to see the beautiful snow-capped scenery outside from the car window. The Japanese attach great importance to the preservation of forests, and Hokkaido is a vast land with sparsely populated areas. You can see it everywhere along the way.

Lush green woods.

"I can't help but admire the nearly 24-year-old project," Yu Rui said softly. In the 1960s and 1970s, it was incredibly difficult to build such a tunnel project that was more than 20 kilometers under the sea.

As for the world-famous Channel Tunnel, its construction started in the mid-1980s. Just two years after it started, the Seikan Tunnel was completed and opened to traffic.

"I admit that the Seikan Tunnel has played an important role in promoting personnel and trade exchanges between Hokkaido and Honshu Island, but I am still not optimistic about the Bohai Strait undersea tunnel project." Lin Rong shook her head and said, "I still think that in the short term,

, it will only be a bottomless pit that swallows up funds. Even if it is successfully built and put into operation, it will not be easy to achieve profitability."

After seeing the success of the Seikan Tunnel and the English Channel Undersea Tunnel, some people in China have also proposed the Bohai Strait Undersea Tunnel Project, which is to build an undersea tunnel in the Bohai Strait to connect Sanshan City in Liao Province and Donglai City in Shandong Province.

The three northeastern provinces are better connected with the southeastern coastal areas such as Shandong Province.

It can be said that China's Torai City and Sanshan City are in a very similar situation to Japan's Aomori and Hakodate, but one is across the Bohai Strait, and the other is across the Tsugaru Strait, but the Bohai Strait is much wider than the Tsugaru Strait.

The strait is wider, and the nearest point is 109 kilometers apart. The exchange of goods and people between the two places mainly relies on ferries. Although it is not impossible to use roads and railways, it is necessary to do so.

It takes a detour of 1,670 kilometers through the Beijing-Tianjin area to get from Sanshan City to Donglai City. It takes a long time, the transportation efficiency is low, and the transportation cost is staggering. As for the ferry, the time difference on the sea for a round trip is only ten minutes.

Five hours, and this is provided there is no violent storm. At least one month every year, the trip will have to be stopped due to too strong waves on the sea.

If an undersea tunnel can be built to connect Donglai City and Sanshan City like Japan and the United Kingdom, it means that transportation will no longer be affected by bad weather and sea conditions, and it will take 1,500 kilometers less than going around North China.

As mentioned above, the time, manpower and various miscellaneous expenses saved will greatly reduce transportation costs. It can also reduce the transportation pressure on the highway and railway to Beijing, making people and goods in the three northeastern provinces and Shandong Province and the south

People and materials in the province can be exchanged more conveniently and quickly.

It was also out of this idea that in 2006, a railway ferry was launched in the Bohai Strait. The train can "take" the ship from Sanshan City, reach Donglai City by sea, and then enter the railway network of Shandong Province.

, continuing all the way south, thus shortening the distance by more than 1,600 kilometers compared with the railways passing through Beijing and Tianjin. It can be said that it has opened up the shortest path for railway transportation from the northeast to Shandong Province and the eastern coastal areas, and has become the first choice for many tourists and businesses.

The first choice. However, it has to be said that the rail ferry still takes too long, and the frequency is relatively small. There are three ferries every day, and it takes almost six hours to cross the strait each time! Moreover, it will also be affected by bad weather.

And if it can be changed to undersea tunnel train transportation, under normal circumstances, it only takes more than one to two hours between Dongnai City and Sanshan City, which is four to five hours faster than rail ferry. If it is

By high-speed train, you can cross the Bohai Strait in less than an hour! And whether it is freight or passenger transportation, the transportation capacity is far beyond what railway ferries can compare with.

The proposal for this project actually appeared as early as the 1990s, but due to the huge amount of investment, it has been shelved. Today, China's national strength has been completely transformed compared to the 1990s.

growth, the excavation technology of undersea tunnels has also made great progress. In addition, the channels for goods from the three northeastern provinces to go south are indeed blocked. The transportation bottleneck problem in the Beijing-Tianjin area cannot be easily solved, so the bottom of the Bohai Strait

The tunnel project has been proposed again. It is hoped that the three northeastern provinces can open up a direct southward channel. Of course, there are also two provincial governments who want to use this project to stimulate local economic development.

As the top construction company in China that can take over large-scale projects, Longxing Construction Group has a relationship with Xie Guohai, so it was naturally invited to demonstrate the feasibility of this plan. Xie Guohai even approached Fang Mingyuan personally for this purpose, hoping that Longxing Construction Group could

After joining, I hope that these banks under the Fang family can provide loan support.

Regarding the Bohai Strait Undersea Tunnel project, Fang Mingyuan did not know whether it had been launched in the previous life. Judging from the information obtained so far, he did have considerable doubts. One is the construction cost of the Bohai Strait Undersea Tunnel.

If it cannot be effectively controlled, high tolls will inevitably be charged in the future. And excessive tolls will reduce the possibility of people using it. If there are not enough passengers and goods to pass through this tunnel, then there will be no

Even if the loan is repaid, normal operation and maintenance in the future cannot be guaranteed!

The current domestic cost of the Bohai Strait undersea tunnel project is estimated to be around 240 billion yuan, but Fang Mingyuan can be sure that the final cost will definitely be above it and not below it. These world-famous large-scale projects are far away.

There are the Panama Canal and the Suez Canal, the domestic Three Gorges Project, the Seikan Tunnel and the English Channel Tunnel, all of which far exceeded the original budget. For example, the original cost of the English Channel Tunnel was estimated to be 4.8 billion

British pounds, and the final cost was as high as 10.6 billion pounds, which made Eurotunnel Technologies, which operates it, heavily in debt! The final cost of the Seikan Tunnel was more than double the original budget.

Moreover, Fang Mingyuan believes that China has not only underestimated the cost of the Bohai Strait undersea tunnel project, but also overestimated its recovery speed! Judging from the data he has seen, researchers believe that by 2020, the Bohai Strait

The potential passenger flow will reach about 300 million people. Even if the Bohai Strait Undersea Tunnel only handles half of the transportation volume, the passenger flow will reach 150 million people! With this kind of passenger flow, plus freight, and in the tunnel

They believe that the annual profits and taxes from installing various pipelines can reach more than 20 billion yuan. If the land value increase, energy conservation and other comprehensive social benefits are also included, the benefits will be even more considerable. Therefore, they optimistically believe that from 12 to 15 years

It is possible to recover the investment cost within a year!

Fang Mingyuan only has one word for this conclusion: Bah! As far as he knows, the number of railway passengers across the country in 2009 was more than 1.52 billion. Research reports show that in 2009, from Sanshan City to Dongfang

The passenger flow in Lai City is only about 6.5 million. Even the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, which is under construction and is expected to be opened early next year, has an annual transportation target of only 100 million passengers. This is the largest railway in China.

An important transportation line between two megacities! Fang Mingyuan believes that even if a large number of passengers no longer pass through the Beijing-Tianjin area after the undersea tunnel is opened to traffic in the future, and choose to go directly to Shandong Province to go to the south, the passenger flow through the Bohai Strait Undersea Tunnel will not be possible.

Reached 300 million visitors!

The other is the safety of the construction of the Bohai Strait undersea tunnel project. Judging from the information he has, seawater leaks occurred twice during the construction process of the Qinghan Tunnel, which not only caused huge losses to people and property, but also delayed the construction period.

It took nearly four years. In the end, more than 30 workers died and more than 1,000 workers were disabled during the entire project! The Bohai Strait is much wider than the Tsugaru Strait, and the undersea part of the Seikan Tunnel is only more than 23 kilometers.

Some of them have a total length of only more than 50 kilometers. It can be imagined that the construction of the future Bohai Strait undersea tunnel project will be very difficult!

Of course, this does not mean that Fang Mingyuan does not support the construction of the Bohai Strait undersea tunnel project. Today, in the three northeastern provinces, whether it is highway or railway customs clearance, the transport capacity is close to saturation. This is an indisputable fact, even if high-speed railways are being built.

, if the three northeastern provinces can maintain a certain economic growth rate in the future, not to mention passenger transportation, the pressure on freight is still quite large. And if the Bohai Strait undersea tunnel project can be put into operation, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce the railway burden in the Beijing-Tianjin area.

The pressure has also greatly promoted the economic development of the three northeastern provinces and Shandong Province. This is also of positive significance for the Fang family who intends to develop in the three northeastern provinces.

It is also a very real problem that goods from the three northeastern provinces cannot be shipped out in time due to insufficient transportation capacity. Even now, Fang Mingyuan helped open the sea channel for Russia's Primorsky Territory, which has only alleviated this contradiction to a certain extent.

It has not been completely solved. Although the construction of the terminal in Primorsky Krai is in progress and will be put into use in the next two years, the high-speed railways out of the three northeastern provinces are also under construction. In a few years, more passengers can be transported.

The task is transferred to high-speed railways, thereby freeing up more transport capacity for freight. However, the economy of the three northeastern provinces is also constantly developing, and the required transport capacity is also constantly growing. Will a balance between the two be reached by then?

No one can say for sure. Fang Mingyuan prefers that transportation capacity is still tight. Therefore, on the one hand, Longxing Construction Group Company actively collects relevant information, and on the other hand, it sends people to the Qinghan Tunnel and the English Channel Undersea Tunnel to conduct inspections.

Contact their builders and learn from their experience. Regardless of whether this piece of meat can be eaten in the end, it is always good to have more knowledge.

Fang Mingyuan laughed dumbly and said: "Even if you are optimistic that it will be built by Longxing Construction Group Company, it is not a project that can be started in a short time. We are just here to take a look and see it with our own eyes." He is not a god. He takes a car.

You can make your final decision by taking a trip through the Seikan Tunnel.

The next topic turned to the Beidou Star train. Both Lin Rong and Yu Rui were very interested in this way of traveling by train. It was as comfortable as a hotel room, with spacious lounges, exquisite restaurants and all the facilities it could provide.

Eating delicious food and admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window is also a pleasant enjoyment.

"There are actually similar tourism projects in China, but the conditions are far inferior and the routes are very short." Yu Rui put down her chopsticks and looked at the snowy scene outside the window, "However, I think this type of tourism is the same as cruise tourism.

, there is likely to be a big market in the future." As one of the shareholders, she is also quite concerned about the future development of Jianchi Travel Agency.

"The market is huge, but it cannot be developed in a short period of time." Fang Mingyuan shook his head slightly. Although this kind of tourism is not uncommon, there are similar tourist trains in Europe and Southeast Asia, but the high ticket price of the Beidou Star

The lowest-priced ordinary room costs more than 30,000 yen per person, and the deluxe room costs more than 40,000 yen per person. This does not include other consumption on the car. This price is even for Japanese citizens.

It is also a big burden. In 2009, the average annual income of ordinary employees in Japan was only 4.06 million yen, which is less than 340,000 yen per month. Not to mention that the income is far less than that in Japan.

Chinese. More importantly, in the current domestic way of traveling, which is like going to the market, how many people can truly appreciate the advantages of this kind of tourism? Just like cruise tourism, if you want to promote it in the country,

It also takes time and a lot of upfront work.

"It is precisely because everyone has seen that it cannot be developed in a short period of time, so no one has any intention to enter, so we can take the first step." Lin Rong said with a smile, "With the current financial resources of Jianchi Travel Agency, the initial loss pressure will not be great.

, and as long as we get the upper hand, who can squeeze us out in the future?"

"Rong Rong is right!" Yu Rui nodded and said, "I think we can ask Angelina what she means." Although they have both taken shares in Jianchi Travel Agency, the majority shareholder and person in charge is Angelina.
