Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Chapter 386 Building roads and bridges

The deep-sea and Shanghai-based projects were about to be implemented, and Hong Kong tycoons were invited to inspect the ongoing projects of Huo Yingdong. Bao Zixuan's heavy investment led Huo Yingdong to accelerate his investment in the mainland, and the Yangcheng White Swan Hotel project was advanced nearly a year earlier than in the previous life.

This time we chose to take a minibus from Shenhai to Yangcheng. The supporting facilities of Heiyun Group's factory in Shenhai are very good; three minibuses with Heiyun logo printed on them were driving towards Yangcheng with more than 50 people on board.

Everyone had to give Huo Yingdong face, so all the directors of Bao Huodong Mining Company followed him, and even Mr. Bao sat in the car together. Bao Zixuan's car was in the middle, accompanied by staff from Yangcheng City.

Everyone was chatting effectively, and Bao Zixuan was very moved when he saw the buildings on both sides of the street. No one would have thought that in a few decades there would be so many buildings here and the housing prices would be frighteningly high.

But when the bus drove to Guancheng, everyone had to face an embarrassing thing. Everyone had to get off the bus and take the ferry there. If you don't take a boat, you will have to take a detour to Qingshi, which will take you an extra 200 kilometers. Based on the road conditions in this era, it is estimated that it will be late in the evening when you arrive at Yangcheng.

After getting off the car, Bao Zixuan looked at this small pier and thought that it was really inconvenient for people to cross the sea before the bridge was built. Now that he has the strength and ability, he should put the construction of the Humen Bridge on the agenda.

Bao Zixuan looked at Huo Yingdong and said, "Mr. Huo, do you need to take a boat every time you go from the deep sea to Yangcheng?"

Huo Yingdong: "Yes! Last time there was a typhoon and there was no boat available. I took a detour and almost broke people apart. I will never dare to take a detour again. The road conditions are really bad."

Bao Zixuan: "I think the location in front is very good. Why not build a bridge in front. In this way, the time from Yangcheng to Shenzhen can be shortened by at least 2 hours. If we build a highway, it will probably take more than an hour to reach Shekou."

Huo Yingdong was very happy when he heard Bao Zixuan's proposal. This was something he had wanted to do for a long time, but there was not enough technology, materials, and funds, so it was not implemented.

Huo Yingdong: "Building roads and bridges is of course a good thing, but the conditions are not mature in all aspects, and some people are afraid to do it."

Bao Zixuan: "In terms of materials, the products produced by our steel plant can fully meet the requirements. In terms of technology, I have a complete set of large-scale equipment purchased from West Germany. If you don't have time to produce it yourself, you can also buy it from abroad. You can invest as much money as you want. Okay, let me take care of it."

When I heard Bao Zixuan say that he wanted to build bridges and highways, not many of the tycoons were interested. After all, Xiangjiang started its business at the docks, and it was impossible to use highways within Xiangjiang. However, there are exceptions. Hu Yingxiang is very interested, and he has already had this idea in his mind.

Hu Yingxiang: "Young boy who wants to build roads and bridges can count me in. I'm very interested in this."

Bao Zixuan: "I have forgotten that Hu Sheng studied civil engineering. How much do you think it will cost to build a bridge with a main bridge of about 5 kilometers?"

Hu Yingxiang: "If we build a two-way six-lane road, it will cost about US$500 million. After all, construction at sea is too difficult."

Bao Zixuan thought that in his previous life, Humen was one of the most congested roads because the bridge was too narrow. It was not until the Nansha Bridge was repaired that it eased, but the traffic pressure is still considerable. I have also seen data in my previous life. The total cost of the Humen Bridge is 3 billion Chinese coins, which is basically close to what Hu Yingxiang said.

Bao Zixuan: "How much does it cost to build a two-way ten-lane bridge? I am very confident in the development of Shenhai and Yangcheng. It is best to be able to do it in one step, otherwise it will be troublesome to have traffic jams every day, and we have to consider the future. The bridge must at least be used In more than 50 years, the country may have undergone tremendous changes by then!"

After hearing that a ten-lane bridge was to be built, Hu Yingxiang began to make new calculations in his mind. The reason why he can report it directly is because he has done calculations for six lanes in both directions, and now Bao Zixuan directly said that 10 lanes will be built. He didn't even dare to think about it before; after all, in his opinion, 6 lanes are enough, and any more would be a waste.

After all, Hu Yingxiang didn't understand the history of future development like Bao Zixuan, so he didn't understand why this young man wanted to build such a big bridge. But since I’ve been asked, I still have to answer.

Hu Yingxiang: "If you want to build a two-way 10-lane bridge deck, all the structures used need to be redesigned and calculated. I don't think it will be less than 800 million US dollars, but it feels a bit wasteful; after all, there are not many cars in China now, and 6 lanes It's enough."

Bao Zixuan: "Six lanes are definitely enough for now, and there will be no problem even in 10 or 20 years! But what about 30 or 50 years from now! Mainland China has developed very fast in the past two years, and we cannot look at the problem from a stopping perspective."

Huo Yingdong said with a smile: "The little boy looks at the problem from a long-term perspective. Ten lanes is not impossible. No matter how it is repaired, I will be involved, and I will coordinate with the local government."

Huo Yingdong was never soft-hearted in supporting national construction and always took the lead. Seeing that Huo Yingdong and Hu Yingxiang are both interested in building highways and bridges, is this really a good business? It seems that we can investigate it carefully. No matter what, we can't fall behind. This is what other people think.

At this time, a leader from Yangcheng City said: "If you really want to build a bridge here, we welcome it with both hands. In fact, the construction of a bridge in this place was demonstrated in the 1960s, but it was limited by the economy and technology at that time and has never been implemented. . Now the country needs money for many things, and it can’t come up with money for a while. If you can solve the funding problem, then I think the country will definitely support it."

Bao Zixuan: "If the country can liberalize its policies, I would have absolutely no problem, as long as the demolition issues along the way need to be resolved."

Although there is no concept of a nail-biter household yet, Bao Zixuan is still afraid of getting into trouble. If problems arise during the demolition process, his reputation will not be good, and it will be the kind of infamy that cannot be washed away.

The leader of Yangcheng said with a smile: "These are all fine, but I have to ask the province for instructions first, and finally I need approval from Kyoto."

The country will certainly warmly welcome Hong Kong businessmen who are willing to spend money to build roads and bridges. Now we have to look at the investment and shareholding. Unlike companies, the country must be involved in building this kind of road. If it is a war, it will be a guaranteed channel for transporting troops.

Mr. Bao has been observing Bao Zixuan. Why does this boy suddenly want to build a bridge? Is there any profit in this? It seems that it is better to participate in one share. Bao Zixuan has never engaged in loss-making business, and this can also shorten the relationship with China.

After arriving in Yangcheng, Bao Zixuan and others were personally received by the provincial leaders. Huo Yingdong took everyone to watch the White Swan Hotel project, but it was too late to start, otherwise Bao Zixuan really wanted to participate, but he would not make much money in total. The political significance of this kind of project is often greater than the economic value. Huo Yingdong just wanted to improve the image of Yangcheng and did not want to make much money.

Hearing that Bao Zixuan wanted to build a bridge in Humen and a highway from Yangcheng to Shenhai, the leaders of Southern Guangdong Province were very excited. As the provincial capital, Yangcheng has always been the largest economy in the province. Moreover, Yangcheng itself is also a famous historical city with a well-developed tourism industry. Many people from Xiangjiang want to come and have a look, but not many people came before due to traffic conditions. The deep sea as a special economic zone. The economy has grown very fast in the past two years. If these two places can be connected by a high-speed connection, it will play an important role in promoting economic development.

Now Xiangjiang businessmen want to spend money to build the bridge, which is a great thing. Therefore, the discussion started quickly when Lang Youqing and Concubine were interested. Bao Zixuan and others only need to provide money and materials, and leave the rest to the province. After asking for instructions from Kyoto overnight, we finally got the authorization. It can be said that the matter has been half successful, and the rest depends on the demands of both parties.

Bao Zixuan didn't expect that he would actually get the Humen Bridge project after coming to Yangcheng. He really didn't know what to say.
