The soul traveled through Qi Tongwei and ruined Liang Ping's dream of living a comfortable life

After receiving Lin Hongtao's reply, Yang Longjiang and Dai Yunfei changed their itinerary and went to the Construction Committee Office.

Fortunately, the Construction Committee is located in the Municipal Government Building, which is just opposite the Municipal Party Committee Building, less than 200 meters away.

Compared with the Municipal Party Committee Building, the Municipal Government Building is much taller and more imposing. It has a terrifying 17 floors. In addition, there are two identical auxiliary buildings on both sides of the main building, so the area it covers is very large.

From the decoration point of view, the Luzhou Municipal Government Building uses all-white wall paint. The whole building stands on the flat ground like a white fortress. It is a building with a very modern style. It seems to symbolize that Luzhou will move forward bravely on the road to modernization without fear of obstacles.

The two walked along Party and Government Avenue and went straight into the city government building.

After their experience with Lin Hongtao, Yang Longjiang and Dai Yunfei were no longer nervous when facing the tall and majestic city government building. When they learned that the Construction Committee office was on the seventh floor, they took the elevator directly up.

As soon as I arrived at the seventh floor, I saw a long queue outside the Construction Committee office. Judging from their attire, most of them were entrepreneurs and businessmen. Judging from their temperament, there seemed to be a lot of contractors and nouveau riche among them.

Yang Longjiang looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but sigh, "Comrade Yunfei, it seems that our country's infrastructure construction is in full swing."

Dai Yunfei couldn't help but nodded to show his approval.

The late 1990s and early 21st century were a period of frenzy in real estate and infrastructure construction.

Especially cities like Luzhou, which are close to the East China Sea, attracted a lot of investment from state-owned enterprises, private enterprises, and even foreign companies. During this period, the owners of real estate and construction companies basically made money without doing anything.

As the administrative department in charge of all construction in Luzhou, Luzhou Municipal Construction Committee has all-powerful power. Project approval, land purchase and sale, issuance of various permits, etc., everything related to the construction industry must deal with this department.

Just when Yang Longjiang and the other man didn't know what to do, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked out of the office, looking around as if he was looking for someone.

Soon, the middle-aged man noticed Yang Longjiang and Dai Yunfei. Seeing how they were dressed in a rural style, he was sure that these two were the people he was looking for.

The middle-aged man slowly walked up to the two of them, took the initiative to shake hands and said, "Are you from Xinyue? I am Li Ping'an from the Construction Committee. Hello."

"Hey, Director Li, hello, hello"

Dai Yunfei had never met Li Ping'an, but he had heard of him. When he attended the dinner of the Crescent Entrepreneurs Association, he often heard those bosses talk about him, the God of Wealth of Luzhou real estate developers, the Director of the Municipal Construction Committee, Li Ping'an.

Then Li Ping'an invited the two of them to walk into the office together.

After asking the two to sit down, Li Pingan said, "I already know the specific situation. Don't worry, since Secretary Lin has given instructions, I will definitely arrange it for you."

Upon hearing this, the two were naturally very grateful and nodded in greeting.

……

Two days later, the bidding conference for the new city highway, led by the Municipal Construction Committee, was officially held in the auditorium of Luzhou Hotel. When Qi Tongwei learned about it, he also rushed over from Xinyue.

Since the event was organized by the Municipal Construction Committee and the director of the Municipal Construction Committee personally participated, many big bosses in the construction industry also heard the news and came to bid for this "small project" with a construction fee of only a few million yuan just for Li Ping'an's reputation.

Finally, after several rounds of screening and elimination, after review by Qi Tongwei and others, only three companies were successfully shortlisted.

They are Luzhou Transportation Investment Group, Donghai Road and Bridge Construction Co., Ltd., and Jingzhou Hengfei Construction Group.

Among them, Luzhou Transportation Investment Group is a state-owned enterprise under the Luzhou Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. Backed by the Luzhou Municipal Government, it almost monopolizes all transportation construction projects in Luzhou City.

In the conference room, Qi Tongwei looked at the bid of Luzhou Jiaotong Group and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

The cost per kilometer is only 15 yuan, and it is a two-way two-lane road.

This cost was very cheap in the 1990s, and it could even be said to be a loss-making business.

"Director Li, this... Why would the Municipal Transportation Investment Group bid for a small project like ours? It's a bit of a waste of talent, isn't it?"

"And this price..."

Dai Yunfei and others were also confused. They originally thought that there would be at most a few well-known municipal companies, but they didn't expect that even a behemoth like Luzhou Jiaotong was involved.

Li Pingan smiled meaningfully, "Qi Tongwei, this... hehe, you should go ask your County Magistrate Li Dakang."

"County Magistrate Li?"

"Director Li, could it be..."

Before Qi Tongwei finished speaking, Li Ping'an nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, it's what you think."

After receiving Li Ping'an's affirmative answer, Qi Tongwei didn't think about it any more. Since it was Li Dakang's idea, there was no need to consider it and he directly chose Luzhou Jiaotong Group.

After it was confirmed that the construction would be done by Luzhou Jiaotong Group, Yang Longjiang, on behalf of the Xinyue Town Government, signed the contract on the spot in the auditorium with the general manager of Jiaotong Group.

The new city highway is 15 kilometers long. Calculated at 570 yuan per kilometer, the total project cost is million yuan.

Qi Tongwei and his colleagues made a rough calculation and found that the total cost, including land acquisition, maintenance, and related expenses, would be about 6.8 million.

In other words, out of the 7.2 million in the Xinyue government’s account, at least 400,000 would be left in the end.

After doing the math, Qi Tongwei and his colleagues were naturally very happy. Not only was the money enough, but there was even some left over. Four hundred thousand was not too much, but not too little either. In Xinyue, it was enough to pay teachers' salaries for half a year.

After negotiations, the construction of the Chengxin Highway was scheduled to start on February 1998 next year, 2.

There are still more than two months before the construction starts. During this period, the Xinyue local government needs to complete land acquisition, planning, project services, and construction site maintenance.

Land acquisition is the biggest part of this, because road expansion and rerouting will inevitably occupy some land. According to grassroots governance experience, most of these land users will raise prices, so this work is very challenging.

After returning to Jinshan, Qi Tongwei went to Li Dakang's office to verify his guess with him.

Sure enough, when Li Dakang saw Qi Tongwei talking about Jiaotong Group, he couldn't help laughing.

"Tongwei, did Li Ping'an tell you everything? Damn, didn't I ask him to keep it a secret? He's really not keeping his mouth shut."

It turned out that when Qi Tongwei set out for Luzhou, Li Dakang called Xu Jingshan, the chairman of the Municipal Transportation Investment Group. The relationship between Xu Jingshan and Li Dakang can be said to be very close, but they can be regarded as sworn brothers.

The two were bunk-bed buddies during college, and later when they started working, they worked together in the provincial government office. In total, they have been together for twenty years.

At first Xu Jingshan was very surprised, because he knew Li Dakang well. He would not ask for help from others easily, and of course would not help others easily. Even his brother of twenty years did not dare to guarantee that he would ask Li Dakang to do things for him.

So when Xu Jingfei heard that Li Dakang wanted him to help Xinyue build the road, he agreed without hesitation and immediately instructed the general manager to bid at cost price just to make Li Dakang owe him a favor.
