C1412 The Highway Project
If you want to be rich, you have to build roads first. Right now, many lower country roads are still dirt roads, and once it rains, roads are hard to walk.
At the same time, the highway was even more unimaginable.
The automotive industry in Han Country was lagging behind. In Hans Country, in the 1940's, there was already a highway network that covered the entire country. In Han Country, there were no highways.
To build a highway, this was a very bold proposal. One had to know that building a highway required a huge amount of money. Where did this money come from?
The problem of funding was not easy to solve. Another problem was that once it was built, would there be enough traffic, which meant... Would it be a waste to build it? It was just like how the future generations spent a huge sum of money to build a bridge across the sea. In the end, there were no cars to go.
Qin Guan knew that building a highway was a good way to increase economic growth. Back then, the construction of the highway in Hans Country was to develop the country's economy. By relying on the country's investment, they could provide more jobs. The construction of a highway could easily last for several years. Along the way, people could get good jobs. It would bring a large number of people to become rich, and at the same time, it would also bring cement. It could be said that the development of steel and other industries was one of the main ways to stimulate the country's economic development.
At the same time, Qin Guan's proposal now had a very strong strategic significance. Once the war started with Bear Country, the mountainous region here would be an insurmountable natural chasm in Bear Country. The Bear Country could attack from the grassland, but it wouldn't be easy to launch an attack here. If they built a highway, they would be able to transport resources to the battlefield. It would also be more convenient and fast, and the highway could even be used as a platform for fighter jets.
In short, Qin Guan could not get rid of the idea of the highway once it appeared in his mind. If there was a highway, it would only take him three hours to reach the destination of the day.
Only by shortening the time and improving efficiency could they keep up with the development speed of the motherland.
When he heard Qin Guan say that he wanted to build a highway, the bureau chief was immediately delighted. Following that, there was another wave of worry on his face. "President Qin, building a highway requires a large investment. The finances of Martial City can't support such a big project." At first, the construction of the highway in the country did not develop very quickly. It's because the problem of funding isn't easy to solve... But... There was a ready-made method.
"Loan construction, charges to pay off the debt." Qin Guan said, "Won't this solve the problem?"
The highway was charged, which made many drivers in the future generations unhappy. They felt that they should learn from Western Countries, and the highway should be open for free.
However, looking at how it was opened for free, one could tell the difference between ideal and reality. In the future, on holidays, it was free. And the result? Even if it was a few dozen kilometers short, they still wanted to try it out on the highway. It was free. It would be a waste not to try. In the end, he forcefully turned the highway into a parking lot.
Of course, there was an increase in private cars, but there was definitely a mentality of taking advantage of the situation and wanting to take a walk on the free expressway. Together, the congestion on the highway intensified.
Therefore, in Qin Guan's eyes, if you wanted to get free, you had to take the national highway. If you wanted to be fast, you had to take the highway that was charged. There was nothing wrong with that.
But now, there were not many private cars. Those who owned cars were mostly truck owners, as well as some vans. In short, they were all there to make money.
With that, the highway would be built, and they would definitely get on the highway. After all, it was so fast, and the road below was blocked. They won't be able to make a round trip in a few days, and they'll be able to quickly finish the transportation on the highway. What would they choose? Qin Guan was confident. Calculating the time cost was the most important thing. Why did trucks always drive tiredly? Because they did not want to rest. Buying cars was a money-making machine. They had to keep running.
The director was still worried when Qin Guan suggested this idea. "What if the income is not enough to pay the bank loan?"
He was still worried, but he was worried. Instead, it made Qin Guan feel relieved. He looked at the creditors in the future. Why did he have to return the money he borrowed? And now... He had yet to borrow money, so he was worried about whether he could return it or not.
"This way, we, the North Industrial Company, can vouch for you. Or, if we participate in half of the shares, we can at least get rid of your concerns, right?" Qin Guan said.
The North Industrial Company had to walk the road of industrialization and building a country. This kind of infrastructure project... It doesn't increase the overall scientific prowess of the country, therefore... In the past, Qin Guan had never thought of turning the company into a real estate company. Now, it was to promote the construction of the highway network in the country. Qin Guan finally spoke.
With the participation of the North Industrial Company, what was there to be afraid of?
"No problem, President Qin. I will immediately go and coordinate with them. Surveying, investing, and construction. I will try my best to complete it within five years!"
Qin Guan nodded. "With this highway, we can increase the connection between Martial City and the capital. This is an important strategic meaning. You should know it."
The other party nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Unconsciously, Qin Guan participated in another matter. After this matter was settled, Qin Guan finally heaved a sigh of relief. The next day, he set foot on the road again.
After leaving Martial City and the mountainous region, they entered the grassland. At this time, the entire grassland was a vast expanse of dark green. It looked like a magnificent scene, as if they were looking at an ocean.
Inside the carriage, everyone cried out in excitement.
"This is the first time I've seen such a vast grassland!" Even Andrew was excited.
Driving on the grassland was much faster. Although there was a road, if it was not a car, the northern brave warrior car, even if it was below, could still fly.
Qin Guan looked at the scene outside and his heart surged. Back then, it was from here that he slowly grew up. After driving for another day, in the evening, the car entered the North Heavy Truck Factory's main gate.0
Qin Guan did not like to be flamboyant. Furthermore, it was for the sake of his safety. Almost without notifying them, when Qin Guan's car arrived at the factory, only then did Hee Ribala know that Qin Guan was here. This time, he was very happy. He immediately ran out.
The family members were brought to the factory's family courtyard. Sandra warmly greeted them. This time, there were so many guests, they must be treated well.
Qin Guan and the Elementary Scholar looked at Hee Ribala and looked at the car in high spirits. His eyes were almost burning with passion.
