Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

The affirmative meaning of this statement is very obvious.

Principal Pan Chengyang and Dean Qi Sen, who was sitting next to him, looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes.

The topic then turned to Jiangkou.

"Comrade Chu An, you just mentioned that you wanted to conduct an external bidding. Haha, it feels to me like this is just making something out of nothing."

Everyone laughed.

Liu Chuan also smiled and said, "Commander, your summary is very accurate. From the perspective of the operation method alone, it is indeed a bit fabricated... However, this is a relatively common practice internationally. Many countries do this."

"We have no other choice. Transport construction, especially highways, airports, and ports, costs money, and it costs a lot of money. We don't have that much money, so we have to spend every penny in half."

"However, considering Jiangkou's location and the speed of construction, we also believe that it is necessary to build expressways, electrify railways, and build airports and ports, and the sooner the better. The sooner they are completed, the sooner they will benefit."

"We don't have money, and our country isn't rich, but if we want to get things done, we have to find another way."

"After the highway and port are built, they can and should be paid for. We've learned that building a six-lane, two-way highway from Nanfang to Jiangkou, a total distance of approximately 120 kilometers, would require an investment of at least 300 to 400 million yuan."

"If we were to raise the funds ourselves, the cost would be astronomical. I'm afraid it would take at least eight to ten years before we could hope to raise any money."

"This means that the construction speed of Jiangkou will be slowed down by eight to ten years, which is a huge cost."

"During the Lunar New Year, my son Liu Hongyi came to Jiangkou, and we discussed this issue. He suggested considering external bidding and adopting the BOT model, which stands for Build-Operate-Transfer. This would allow private companies to participate in infrastructure construction and provide public services to society."

“Allow private companies to engage in road construction?”

Comrade Hongfei immediately interrupted and asked, raising his eyebrows.

"How can you do this?"

"Building bridges and roads is, of course, a national responsibility. How can we allow private companies to get involved? That would be disgraceful."

Liu Chuan hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhao, the ownership of the highway is still in our hands. This road is built on our own land. Moreover, the transfer of operating rights to the investor is also limited to a certain number of years. Once they recoup their investment, the operating rights of this highway will be taken back."

“It’s like borrowing chickens to lay eggs.”

"This method has existed since ancient times and can be considered a thousand-year-old tradition."

“Overall, it’s good for everyone.”

"Huh, Comrade Liu Chuan, are you thinking this is too simple?"

Zhao Hongfei didn't buy his trick at all and snorted coldly.

"Don't compartmentalize the issue. This time, it's about building a road, which sounds like a good thing, and it might actually contribute to the development of Jiangkou. But now that you've started this, have you considered how to end it?"

"This time, you're letting a private company build the road and then letting them collect the money. Can you guarantee they'll only recoup their costs? That's just one thing. Secondly, now that this is a precedent, can you let private companies handle other things in the future?"

“And it’s a foreign private enterprise.”

There is no doubt about this. At this stage, there are no private enterprises with such strong financial resources in the country.

“A dike of thousands of miles breaks in an ant nest.”

"Have you ever thought about what will happen if we retreat step by step and allow these foreign forces to infiltrate step by step?"

"And you, Comrade Liu Hongyi!"

Mr. Zhao became more and more excited as he spoke, and suddenly stared at Liu Hongyi who was sitting next to his father.

Liu Hongyi immediately stood up, stood at attention, straightened his chest and abdomen, and looked at the old comrade with his eyes. His etiquette was completely impeccable.

"You're giving out so many bonuses at once at Zhuang'an. Did you ask for permission beforehand? Are there any regulations in place?"
