Chapter 699： The fifth tier 1 city?

The latest website: "After being reviewed by academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Ministry of Science and Technology, China Railway General Administration and many other experts, the [Vacuum Hyperloop] project submitted by Guanghua University was officially approved and approved!"

"It is reported that the initial speed of the vacuum super high-speed rail can reach 1,500 kilometers per hour, which is more than four times that of the current high-speed rail and twice that of a civil airliner!"

"The amount involved in this investment will be as high as one trillion yuan, which also highlights my country's emphasis on the field of transportation..."

"Let's connect with Academician Qi Zhenguoqi, academician of the two academies and famous railway transportation expert."

Zhou Hanqing couldn't listen to the content of the interview that followed. His head was buzzing, and he only had that speed and investment amount in his mind.

"1,500 kilometers per hour?"

"The investment amount is trillions of yuan?"

He muttered twice.

The next moment, he suddenly stood up and walked back and forth in the living room.

Fortunately, I haven't heard the specific plan in the news, but it's normal. Such a big investment must be very deep, and it's normal after two or three months of discussion.

However, Zhou Hanqing caught a glimpse of the opportunity!

An opportunity that may make Ludao rush from a second-tier city to a first-tier city!

"No, I have to find Secretary Geng!" Zhou Hanqing's eyes were determined, and regardless of his wife and children's inquiries, he left the house in a hurry and hurried to the garage.

Picking up the car and starting the car, he also called Chen Hao over there.

As soon as the call was connected, Zhou Hanqing couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Hao, are you taking the land this afternoon to study the hyperloop?"

"Yes, in order to use it for the outdoor experiment of the hyperloop prototype, Uncle Zhou, what's wrong?" Chen Hao replied in confusion.

"That hyperloop can really reach 1,500 kilometers per hour?" After speaking, Zhou Hanqing's hands on the steering wheel were so nervous that they clenched tightly.

That's 1,500 kilometers per hour, faster than a plane!

"1,500 kilometers per hour is the speed in the initial stage. Later, we will increase it to 2,000 kilometers per hour. The highest stage should be 4,000 kilometers per hour." Chen Hao answered truthfully.

Zhou Hanqing's eyelids jumped, good guy, there are more scary people behind.

At a speed of 4,000 kilometers per hour, wouldn't it take less than an hour to travel from Ludao to the capital?

It's too creepy, isn't it?

Zhou Hanqing was very itchy, but he still confirmed uneasy: "Haohao, don't make fun of me, tell the truth to my uncle, can it really be achieved?"

"Yes, but I estimate that the construction period will take 3-5 years?"

"Really?"

"Really!"

After repeated confirmation, Zhou Hanqing's nervous mood finally eased a lot. Chen Hao is not a pit man, can't he just talk about such a big matter?

Then, Zhou Hanqing asked some more detailed questions, and then without waiting for Chen Hao to say more, Zhou Hanqing hurriedly hung up the phone.

ten minutes later.

a residential area.

After hearing the knock on the door, Geng Kangping, who opened the door, said puzzledly, "Mayor Zhou, is there anything I can't tell you on the phone? You're going to come here in person this evening?"

"Secretary Geng, something big has happened!" Zhou Hanqing said in shock after changing his shoes.

Geng Kangping's eyes narrowed, and it must be really difficult to make the mayor of a city call it a major event.

"Let's go, let's talk in the study."

Then, the two entered the study.

After being seated, Zhou Hanqing briefly told Geng Kangping about the incident.

After Geng Kangping understood, his heart began to stir.

He looked at Zhou Hanqing and asked, "You just said that this application was submitted by Principal Chen yesterday?"

"Yes." Zhou Hanqing, who had talked so much, was a little thirsty, so he picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea to drink.

"In such a short period of time, the construction route of the super high-speed rail should not be determined yet. This is indeed a great opportunity." Geng Kangping added a trace of sadness to his eyebrows.

"But if the cost is as you said, 376 million per kilometer, it will be difficult for us Ludao's turn!"

"That's true." Zhou Hanqing was not bothered, but looked around, "Secretary Geng, do you have a map of China?"

Geng Kangping was stunned when he heard it, and then came to his senses. He got up and said, "Yes, wait for me a moment."

In just a minute or two, Geng Kangping returned to the study, with a folded map of China in his hand.

Zhou Hanqing took the map and laid it flat on the desk.

"The cost of 376 million yuan is destined to not be fully popularized. Just like the first maglev introduced in my country to choose the magic capital, it will definitely choose key cities."

"The capital, the magic capital, and the Yangcheng will definitely exist, and the capital to the magic capital is not very cost-effective, so..."

The finger points to the location of the capital, and then swipes down quickly.

Finally stopped at Yangcheng, the capital of Lingnan Province.

"Referring to the Beijing-Kowloon line, I have presumptuously concluded that there will definitely be a line from Beijing to Yangcheng for the hyperloop!"

"What about the magic capital?" Geng Kangping frowned.

Zhou Hanqing's eyes fell on the western region on the map.

"If I guess correctly, it should be a horizontal and vertical flight network, and the connection to the magic capital will definitely be Rongcheng or Shancheng."

For balance, there will definitely be a heavyweight city in the western region.

It is nothing more than the three cities of Chang'an, Rongcheng and Shancheng.

Chang'an is a little bit to the north, so there is a high probability that one of the two remains.

"That's too bad, the traffic pattern will usher in a new era, but our Ludao is located in the southeast, whether it is Yangcheng or Magic City, we can't meet it!"

Geng Kangping rubbed his fingers on the teacup, anxious like a fire in his heart.

If you can catch the express train of the super high-speed rail, Ludao may be able to usher in another wave of development.

But the Pearl River Delta at the bottom of Hu Province and the Yangtze River Delta at the top. Whether it is a geographical advantage or an economic advantage, it is not as good as the two. What are you going to use to compete with them?

"Secretary Geng, I have a bold idea!" Zhou Hanqing's eyes were like torches, and his eyes seemed to be shining strangely.

Geng Kangping took a deep breath, "You said."

Zhou Hanqing said seriously: "The investment in the hyperloop is huge. Even if China Railway is the main source, the local government will definitely have to pay a lot."

"If the bulk of this is borne by our Ludao and Hu provincial governments, and the rest is borne by China Railway and another city, the above should agree."

"This investment is too big. If something goes wrong, you will know the consequences." Even if he was mentally prepared, Geng Kangping swallowed.

Zhou Hanqing's proposal is too bold, it's a bet on their political achievements!

Once something goes wrong, the impact is too great.

However, he also raised a question.

"Since the provincial government has to bear part of the investment, why isn't this city located in the provincial capital, Rongcheng, but Ludao?"

Although Ludao is located in Hu Province, it is one of the first batch of five special economic zones, cities under separate state planning, and sub-provincial cities. Its revenue and expenditure are directly linked to the central government.

Otherwise, it cannot be said that you can take money to invest in hyperloop.

"The research unit of the hyperloop is Guanghua University, just because Guanghua University is in Ludao instead of Rongcheng." Zhou Hanqing smiled confidently.

Geng Kangping smiled bitterly, "I almost forgot this key point."

Immediately, he looked at the map and asked, "Then we Ludao should build a super high-speed rail line connecting Yangcheng or Magic City?"

"Choose to cooperate with Yangcheng, so Ludao can connect to the Pearl River Delta, and the distance is shorter than connecting to the magic capital, so the cost can be lower."

Zhou Hanqing shook his head and refused, "No, I should cooperate with Modu."

Geng Kangping was startled, "Why?"

"I asked Chen Hao, for the super high-speed rail, the shorter the distance, the less obvious the speed advantage, because it takes a certain distance to increase the speed, and Ludao is too close to Yangcheng, so I should choose the magic capital." The more Zhou Hanqing said, the more excited he became." Moreover, Modu is also happy to add a super high-speed rail, our Ludao has a limited terrain, and we just use the advantages of Modu to develop our Ludao’s financial industry.”

"And we can also use the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions to develop our tourism."

People in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai are known to have money all over the country. If the super high-speed train is connected with Ludao, there will be many people who come to travel and vacation.

"The straight-line distance from Ludao to Magic Capital is 813km. Assuming that a 1,000km super high-speed rail pipeline is to be built, the cost will be about 376 billion yuan. We Ludao and the provincial government will jointly pay 188 billion (50%), and Magic Capital and China Railway will each bear 940 yuan. 100 million (25%), so the submission should be approved!"

In the era of ordinary railways, the Ministry of Railways was responsible for the investment, construction and operation of railways across the country.

Until entering the era of high-speed rail, my country's railway development accelerated, rail transit infrastructure investment soared, and the Ministry of Railways was overwhelmed, and began to explore the reform of the company system.

That is, the era of the Ministry of Railways is over, and the era of China Railway Corporation (China Railway Corporation) is coming!

The China Railway General Administration has delegated powers and local governments have entered the bureau. More and more high-speed rail lines are constructed by joint ventures between the China Railway General Administration (formerly the Ministry of Railways) and local governments, and state-owned enterprises and banks have also participated in the shareholding.

For example, the Shanghai-Hangzhou Intercity, which can make a profit of 900 million a year, is a model of a joint venture railway. Zhejiang Province, Magic Capital City, and China Railway Group contributed money respectively, and Baosteel Group also participated as a state-owned enterprise.

Zhou Hanqing's idea is completely fine, provided that there is nothing wrong with the hyperloop.

Otherwise, if the investment of nearly 200 billion yuan continues, Ludao Finance will have to tighten its belt in the next few years, and they will both be held accountable if something goes wrong.

Seeing that Geng Kangping was still hesitating, Zhou Hanqing continued to advocate: "Secretary Geng, don't miss this opportunity, maybe Ludao can become the fifth first-tier city in China!"

Don't care about the new front-line, quasi-front-line, and weak front-line, it's all bullshit, and it's all made up by unscrupulous media to absorb traffic.

The only real first-tier cities are Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

Whether it is Jinling, Suzhou, Hangzhou or Rongcheng, it is not qualified.

However, Geng Kangping was moved by Zhou Hanqing's "fifth first-tier city".

"But this is an investment of nearly 200 billion..."

Geng Kangping is still in pain. This amount of investment is not a small amount for Modu and Beijing, not to mention their Ludao.

Helpless, Geng Kangping agreed.

Who can resist the temptation to become the fifth real first-tier city in China?

...

At night the wind is very noisy.

But Professor Zhao Yong was sitting in the plane, and the wind couldn't blow. The noise naturally came from the cabin.

Sitting on the seat on the left side of the aisle, two boys were discussing the topic intensely.

Which pot does not mention which pot is opened, what is the use of the hyperloop of Guanghua University?

Professor Zhao Yong was about to close his eyes and rest in peace, when he heard the words behind the two, he was a little sullen in an instant.

How can there be such a reason, Shu Zian dares to speak falsely? !

ps: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly pass! Woohoo!
