"Not only them, but also those officials who vigorously build urban management teams have to think about the possible consequences." Sun Zhaolun sneered. He has been living in Hong Kong. Before coming to China, he didn't know much about the officialdom in the mainland. Many, but after being the main person in charge of Carrefour Supermarket these years, he still feels disgusted with some ills in Chinese society.However, he came today not to denounce the injustice of Chinese society with Fang Mingyuan, but to have other important matters.

During the days when Fang Mingyuan went to Qionghai, a big news came from Qinxi Province, that is, it seems that the country intends to build a highway in Qinxi Province to connect Fengyuan with Shendu City in Zhongzhou Province .At the same time, this expressway in Shendu will be connected with another expressway that is already under construction from Shendu to Beijing.

When the news came out, of course it aroused people's discussion, and the people who would benefit from it were naturally ecstatic about it.If this expressway can be built, then the driving speed from Fengyuan to Shendu, and even to the capital will be greatly improved. This is for Qinxi Province, which suffers from insufficient railway capacity and less developed river transportation. , but has an extraordinary significance.

However, the huge amount of money required for the construction of the expressway also caused headaches for the leaders of the Qinxi Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government.Although it is said that the state will allocate funds, the local government also has to raise corresponding funds, and this huge amount of construction funds is also a heavy burden for the economically underdeveloped Qinxi Province.What's more, in recent years, the state-owned enterprises in Qinxi Province have fallen into the brink of loss or even bankruptcy, and urgently need a large amount of capital transfusion.How can there be extra funds invested in the construction of expressways.But they also understand that this is a rare opportunity, if they give up, there will be no medicine for regret in the future.I don't know who made the suggestion to borrow money from private enterprises to build roads, and then use the highway tolls to repay the loan.

Fang Mingyuan grinned secretly, history has indeed developed to this track of "loans to build roads, and fees to repay the loan".

"There are fewer places. Compared with railways, roads have higher efficiency, larger transportation volume, and lower cost. Road transportation also has the flexibility of door-to-door direct transportation, especially suitable for passenger transportation, fresh goods, and less-than-truckload transportation of containers. This function is more convenient for expressways. For example, after the completion of the Meishin Expressway in Japan, it saves about 70.00% of the journey time compared with the original highway. 7. The accident rate and death rate of the expressway are much lower than other highways. And I asked some experts in Hong Kong. According to them, Although the expressway is expensive and uses a lot of land, but the driving speed is high, the traffic capacity is large, and the traffic accident rate is small, so its investment cost generally only needs 10 to [-] years. The saved driving costs include fuel consumption, tires, etc. Wear and tear, vehicle repair and road maintenance expenses, etc., as well as running time and reduced traffic accidents will be fully rewarded. Therefore, when the traffic volume develops to a certain level in many countries, expressways will be built as long as financial resources permit.” Sun Zhaolun led Kind of excited and authentic.

Fang Mingyuan nodded, for these data, he knew better than Sun Zhaolun.In countries all over the world, the highway mileage generally only accounts for a few percent of the total highway mileage, but it often bears [-] to [-] percent of the total highway transportation volume. It can be seen that the highway has a great role in promoting the economy. .

He can fully understand Sun Zhaolun's excitement. Once this expressway is completed and opened to traffic, there will undoubtedly be another fast channel for Carrefour's freight system.With the continuous expansion of Carrefour Supermarket in Qinxi Province, the number of commodities that need to be imported from all provinces of the country and even overseas has increased greatly every year. Although, due to the relationship between Su Huandong, Carrefour Supermarket and the railway system of Qinxi Province are very happy. , but because the total railway transportation capacity is limited after all, the main cargo transportation force of Carrefour supermarkets today still relies heavily on roads.Therefore, in Sun Zhaolun's view, if he can participate in the construction of this expressway, it will have great benefits in reducing the logistics cost of Carrefour supermarkets and speeding up the transportation of goods.Carrefour Supermarket currently has sufficient funds. Even if it invests huge sums of money in the construction of expressways, it will definitely not affect Carrefour Supermarket's own capital turnover.In fact, it's not just that. If the expressway is successfully constructed, it can also greatly promote the import and export business of Deguang Electronics Factory to Japan.

"Today, some leaders in the province have asked for my opinion. If Carrefour Supermarket is willing to take a share in it, I will report to Fang Shao." Sun Zhaolun looked directly into Fang Mingyuan's eyes and said, "Should we do this together? How many shares are involved in the matter?"

"How much is the funding gap in the province?" Fang Mingyuan filled the tea in front of Sun Zhaolun, seemingly casually.

"I'm afraid there will be more than two billion," Sun Zhaolun said without hesitation.

"Then how much does the province want us to invest? Do you mean to express your opinion, or to formally operate it as an industry?" This is the key to the matter. If it's just meaning, Fang Mingyuan doesn't want to be involved in this matter at all. It takes a little more thought, if the province wants the funds from Carrefour supermarket to enter on a large scale, then this matter has to be carefully considered.

Sun Zhaolun picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip and said, "Young Master Fang, you don't know about it in Yazhou. This matter has only recently spread. As far as I know, the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government have already communicated with you. Many companies have contacted, but it seems that no one is willing to take over, and the provincial party committee and the provincial government have no choice but to find us."

Fang Mingyuan nodded. To be honest just now, he was still a little surprised. How could the Qinxi Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government raise funds for road construction, and let Carrefour Supermarket take a stake in it? It turned out to be a helpless move.

"The investment amount of this expressway is huge, the construction period is also long, and the profit is naturally slow. Many companies are unwilling to invest funds for this. For the provincial party committee and the provincial government, of course, we hope that we can do as much as possible. It is best to put this The shortfall in funds has been fully filled at one time," said Sun Zhaolun.

Fang Mingyuan secretly laughed in his heart. After all, this was in the early 90s. People hadn't fully realized the huge profits of the expressway. If they knew that in the previous life, the expressway invested with 12 billion yuan could eventually recoup tens of billions of yuan in return. Even if these people break their heads, they still want to squeeze in.

"The province also hinted to us that if we are willing to invest in this project, we can give Carrefour more preferential policies in other aspects..." Sun Zhaolun continued.

"Hahahaha..." Fang Mingyuan couldn't help laughing out loud
