Resource Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 446 Highway Project

"Not only them, but also the officials who have vigorously established the urban management team have to think about the possible consequences." Sun Zhaolun sneered. He had been living in Hong Kong. Before coming to China, he didn't know much about the official situation in the mainland.

Many, but after serving as the main person in charge of Carrefour supermarket for these years, he still feels deeply disgusted with some of the ills in Chinese society. However, he came today not to denounce the injustice of Chinese society with Fang Mingyuan, but to have other important matters.

In the days when Fang Mingyuan went to Qionghai, a big news came from Qinxi Province, that is, it seems that the country intends to build an expressway in Qinxi Province to connect Fengyuan with Shendu City in Zhongzhou Province.

.At the same time, this expressway will be connected in Shendu City with another expressway that is already under construction from Shendu to Beijing.

When the news came out, it certainly aroused a lot of discussion among people, and the people who would benefit from it were naturally overjoyed. If this expressway can be built, then from Fengyuan to Shendu, and even to the capital

The driving speed will be greatly improved, which is of extraordinary significance to Qinxi Province, which suffers from insufficient railway transportation capacity and even less developed river transportation.

However, the huge amount of funds required for highway construction has also caused headaches for the leaders of the Qinxi Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government. Although the state will allocate funds, the local government must also raise corresponding funds, and this amount

The huge construction funds are also a heavy burden for Qinxi Province, which is economically underdeveloped. Moreover, in recent years, state-owned enterprises in Qinxi Province have fallen into losses or even on the verge of bankruptcy, and are in urgent need of a large amount of construction funds.

Fund transfusion. How can there be excess funds to invest in the construction of highways. But they also understand that this is a rare opportunity. If they give up, there will be no regrets in the future. They don’t know who made the suggestion.

, borrow money from private enterprises to build roads, and then repay the loan with the tolls charged on passing vehicles on the expressway.

Fang Mingyuan grinned secretly. History has indeed developed into this track of "loans to build roads and repay the loans tolls".

"With less space, roads are more efficient than railways, with larger transportation volumes and lower costs. Road transportation also has the flexibility of direct door-to-door transportation, which is especially suitable for passenger transportation, fresh goods, and less-than-truckload transportation of containers. With this function, highways are more

To highlight, for example, after the completion of the *** Meishen Expressway, the journey time is saved by about 75% compared to the original highway. The accident rate and death rate of the expressway are much lower than those of other highways. And I have asked some experts in Hong Kong

According to them, although highways are expensive to build and use a lot of land, their investment costs are generally only 7 to 10 years because of their high driving speeds, large traffic capacity, and low traffic accident rates.

Including fuel consumption, tire wear, vehicle repair and road maintenance expenses, etc., and the running time and reduced traffic accidents will be fully rewarded. Therefore, when the traffic volume develops to a certain level, many countries will build expressways as long as financial resources permit.

Highway!" Sun Zhaolun said with a bit of excitement.

Fang Mingyuan nodded. He knew these data better than Sun Zhaolun. In countries around the world, highway mileage generally only accounts for a few percent of the total highway mileage, but it often accounts for 2% of the total highway transportation volume.

Thirty, it can be seen that highways have a great role in promoting the economy.

He can completely understand Sun Zhaolun's excitement. Once this expressway is completed and opened to traffic, it will undoubtedly have another fast channel for Carrefour Supermarket's freight system. With the continuous expansion of Carrefour Supermarket in Qinxi Province, the number of goods required from Carrefour Supermarket is increasing every year.

The number of imported goods from provinces across the country and even overseas has increased significantly. Although, due to Su Huandong's relationship, Carrefour Supermarket has a very happy cooperation with the railway system of Qinxi Province, but due to the limited total railway transportation capacity, Carrefour Supermarket's current cargo transportation

The main force still relies on highways. Therefore, in Sun Zhaolun's view, if it can participate in the construction of this highway, it will be of great benefit to reduce the logistics costs of Carrefour Supermarket and speed up the transportation of goods. Carrefour Supermarket currently has sufficient funds.

Even if a huge amount of money is invested in the construction of the highway, it will never affect Carrefour Supermarket's own capital turnover. In fact, it is not just that. If the construction of this highway is successful, it will also affect Deguang Electronics Factory's import and export business with Japan.

It can play a strong role in promoting.

"Today, leaders in the province have asked me for my opinion on whether Carrefour Supermarket is willing to invest in it. I will ask Mr. Fang to report the situation." Sun Zhaolun looked directly into Fang Mingyuan's eyes and said, "Should we take part in this matter?"

How many shares should I take part in?"

"How big is the funding gap in the province?" Fang Mingyuan asked Sun Zhaolun seemingly casually as he filled up the tea in front of him.

"I'm afraid it must be more than two billion!" Sun Zhaolun said without hesitation.

"Then how much investment does the province want us to make? Is it just a statement, or is it officially run as an industry?" This is the key to the matter. If it is just a statement, Fang Mingyuan does not want to be involved in this matter at all.

If the province wants Carrefour Supermarket's funds to enter on a large scale, then this matter needs to be carefully considered.

Sun Zhaolun picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip and said: "Young Master Fang, you don't know in Yazhou that this matter has just spread recently. At present, as far as I know, the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government have already

Many companies have contacted us, but no one seemed willing to take over, and the provincial party committee and government had no choice but to find us."

Fang Mingyuan nodded. To be honest just now, he was still a little surprised. Why did the Qinxi Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government want Carrefour Supermarket to take a stake in raising funds for road construction? It turned out to be a helpless move.

"The investment amount of this expressway is huge, the construction period is also long, and profits are naturally slow. Many companies are unwilling to invest funds for this. For the provincial party committee and the provincial government, of course, we hope that the more the merrier, it is best to make this

The funding gap has been filled in one fell swoop!" Sun Zhaolun said.

Fang Mingyuan secretly laughed in his heart. After all, this was in the early 1990s, and people had not yet fully realized the huge profits of expressways. If they had known that in the previous life, a highway with an investment of 1.2 billion yuan could eventually recover tens of billions of yuan.

In return, I'm afraid these people will squeeze in even if they break their heads.

"The province also hinted to us that if we are willing to invest in this project, we can provide Carrefour Supermarket with greater preferential policies in other aspects..." Sun Zhaolun continued.

"Hahahaha..." Fang Mingyuan couldn't help laughing.
