Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

"There's no way the daily traffic volume is just a thousand cars. Conservatively speaking, it's more than 100,000. We can recoup over 1 billion yuan a year, and the cost will be recovered in a few years."

Now even Huang Yonghui became interested and asked, "One hundred thousand train trips, is that possible?"

Liu Hongyi said, "This is the most conservative estimate. Brother Yonghui, you underestimate the economic impact of the First Special Economic Zone and Victoria. As long as the construction of Jiangkou accelerates, the number of vehicles passing through will only increase. This highway will inevitably become the most profitable road in the country. No matter how large the investment, it can be recovered in a short time."

"In that case, why should we let others make this money?"

Liu Hongyi laughed and said, "Aren't we going back to the beginning? Because we don't have the money to build the road ourselves."

"I'm building a thermal power plant and an electrolytic aluminum factory in Zhuang'an. The total investment is 50 million yuan. I don't have a penny, so I have to find a Middle Eastern prince to cooperate with me. He will invest 40 million yuan, and the government will invest 10 million yuan. Construction has already started."

"I don't have any capital, so I can't expect all the profits to go into my own pocket. I have to find someone to cooperate with me."

"Otherwise, Zhuang An won't be able to earn a penny of this money."

"But once the thermal power plant and electrolytic aluminum plant are built, they're permanent. Foreigners can't move these two plants away from Zhuang'an. The profits they generate each year will greatly boost various production and construction projects in Zhuang'an."

"From now on, there's no need to worry about running out of money. Infrastructure, education, and healthcare projects can all be accelerated, and the people will receive tangible benefits."

"This is a classic win-win strategy."

"Back to the Nanjiang Expressway, the construction of this road has greatly promoted the development of Jiangkou. No matter how you describe it, it is difficult to overstate the significance. Foreigners have indeed made money here, but we have earned even more."

"Jiangkou is rapidly accelerating its construction, and the country is rapidly becoming richer. Foreigners cannot get these benefits. They are all ours."

As Liu Hongyi spoke, he couldn't help waving his arms, as if he was back in Zhuang'an, pointing out the ways of the world and making bold statements.

As the county party secretary, shouldn’t the top leader have such courage?

"Dad, I suggest you make up your mind. You're the mayor of Jiangkou, and you can leave the other small matters to others. For now, you just need to firmly grasp the major construction projects such as highways, airports, ports, and railways."

"If the highways, railways, airports, and ports are built during your term, you will be the mayor of Jiangkou who has made the greatest contribution!"

Although Liu Chuan was familiar with his son's abilities, he still couldn't help but be stunned after hearing these words.

No, son, we were just talking about building a road, right?

How come in the blink of an eye, railways, airports, and ports are all being built?

"The railway has..."

Liu Chuan said casually.

Liu Hongyi immediately said, "I know, but that railway is too old and hasn't been electrified, so its capacity is too low. Jiangkou is being built to serve a first-tier metropolis, and this old railway is far from sufficient to handle such an important transportation task."

Liu Chuan thought for a moment and said, "As for the railway electrification upgrade, we can submit a report right away. I'll go to the provincial and national governments to push for it. As for the airport, it's difficult to build, and we don't have the money for the port. We can't just open it up to public bidding as you just said, right?"

Liu Hongyi said: "It is difficult to put airports out for bidding, but ports can be."

"Our Jiangkou is now full of factories, and so many products need to be exported. This is inseparable from the port. Even for domestic sales, sea transportation is much cheaper than land transportation, and overall, it is much more efficient."

"Ocean vessels departing from the river mouth can carry thousands or even tens of thousands of tons of cargo. Both Mingzhu and Tianjin have ports. Currently, the most economically active and relatively wealthy areas in our country are almost all located along the coast."
