Chapter 252 Urban Transportation System

Urban rail transit generally refers to subways, light rail, magnetic levitation, urban railways, urban trams, etc. It has the characteristics of energy saving, land saving, large transportation volume, all-weather, pollution-free (or less pollution) and safety. It is a relatively advanced international way to adapt to large and medium-sized cities and solve urban traffic difficulties. Beijing subway was built in the 1950s as early as the 1990s, but due to financial and technical issues, after the reform, wealthy coastal cities such as Shanghai and Guangzhou gradually developed their respective urban rail transit.

However, there are many problems with urban rail transit, first of all, funds. The subway is said to be paved with gold, and the construction cost per kilometer is close to 500 million yuan. Elevated light rail or railway also costs more than 300 million yuan, which is a huge expense for any government. The subway projects in Qingdao and Shancheng in the mid-1990s were abandoned halfway due to insufficient funds. In addition, there is still a good profit model for urban rail transit operation in the world. Even the most developed cities of New York, Paris, Seoul, etc., have fully implemented the nationalization of rail companies, that is, they operate in a subsidy manner. The income of Shanghai subway in China is not enough to pay the bank interest during construction, and the difference is entirely borne by the government. Once the urban rail transit route is completed, there are still large follow-up costs waiting for local governments to pay, which is an absolute bottomless pit.

Yang Xingxin said that Mayor Ma was indeed very good at calculating. He was here to train. He could not finish his term as a mayor. As long as the subway or light rail was approved, he would make great contributions to the transportation cause of the people of Jiudu. It was just that he would bear the honor alone. Then he turned around and patted his butt and left a lot of messes to let the people of Jiudu pay the bill. At that time, the Jiudu government was not afraid of sitting on wax? Yang Xing raised his eyes and looked at Kan Dongtian, thinking that you had swearing in front of me to build Jiudu well. How could you let this kind of thing be taken in front of me? Just seeing him making a secret gesture with helpless look on his face, knowing that he had a difficult time hiding, he let go of his doubts and dealing with Mayor Ma.

"Mayor Ma is indeed a talented and has a long-term vision." Yang Xing flattered calmly, "It's just that this urban rail transit project has a long construction period and a large investment amount. I need to consult the opinions of my business partners first. After all, I am only one of the board members now, not completely covering the sky with my hands. Now, I think my personal opinions are pretty good. I will study it carefully before discussing with them in detail. How about the strength of the report after the result notification?" Yang Xing's words were clear, and Ma Yijun could not express any objections. He also knew that although the Indonesians agreed to Yang Xing's supervision of their investment, most of the companies with Zhongxing International's headquarters in Hong Kong are listed companies, and there are many rules and regulations. Maybe the articles there are such as this, and the construction of the urban rail transit system is not something that can be achieved overnight. He does not expect his words to be effective immediately. Yang Xing's attitude at this time has already made him very satisfied.

After seeing off Mayor Ma and the others, Kan Dongtian circled for a while and turned back to Yang Xing's villa by the small lake in the city center. He looked at Yang Xing's inquiring eyes with helpless look, "Don't look at me, this is a project that Mayor Ma has been working hard for the city's standing committee. He has even established a relationship between the central and provincial governments. Besides, this is indeed a good thing to contribute to the construction of Jiudu. But you know, the city has been busy with the restructuring of state-owned enterprises and the diversion of laid-off personnel in recent years. The finances have been tense and I really don't have the energy to carry out such a large municipal project. However, Mayor Ma's new office has been in trouble for three times, and it is normal for him to do something. I really can't just pour cold water on him, so I have to bring him over to say hello to you."

Yang Xing's mouth twitched, thinking that you, Comrade Kan, is becoming more and more skillful in your official career! You don't want to be a villain to attack the enthusiasm of the new mayor and maintain the stability and unity of the city. Just want me to jump out and be a black face and refuse the mayor's kindness? However, even though he complained, he didn't want the Indonesian funds he had worked hard to throw into this bottomless pit, but he couldn't offend the new mayor. The grasp of this scale was indeed very twitching. He pondered for a long time before looking at Kan Dongtian and asked, "You

To be honest, how many people are there who are staring at me like you? "Kan Dongtian smiled bitterly and said, "I'm going to hide it from you. There is news in Beijing that you got at least $10 billion from Indonesians this time, plus the $10 billion you robbed at the Prime Minister last time, and the $10 billion you borrowed from Hong Kong HSBC and Standard Chartered to acquire Shanyi Securities. You now have a total of $30 billion, which is simply the biggest rich man in China. Do you think there will be fewer people who are targeting you?"

Yang Xing was shocked. It was indeed shocking that he obtained a domestic credit guarantee of 8 billion US dollars, but it involved Indonesia, flood control and Hong Kong exchange rate protection. No matter what happened, it could not be made public. Unexpectedly, rumors spread that he had 30 billion US dollars? The 8 billion credit guarantee is the same as HSBC Standard Chartered loan. Indonesian funds are the property of the Chinese Indonesian people. They handed them over to Yang Xing to repay their kindness, and they mainly value the financial management capabilities of Yang Xing's companies. How could they be willing to invest in these projects that are very happy and have no profit prospects in China.

He offended many relationships in the capital along the way, and his status in the national political arena was not strong. He was often selected as the target of criticism. Now, there is another news that he controls $30 billion. In the eyes of others, he is just a fat Tang Monk's flesh. All kinds of monsters and monsters want to rush up to bite. The person who reported this news has ulterior motives, which has made Yang Xing add many opponents out of thin air!

Kan Dongtian continued, "You are doing turmoil in Indonesia this time. Although you don't know the details, the internal consultants publicly praised you for actively rescuing your compatriots during this Indonesian riot. The comments of patriotic businessmen are in black and white. I think there are many people who believe in the news of the 30 billion US dollars. I think I don't care if you want too many of them. But the important task of saving foreign investment and investment has fallen on Jiudu. You have to take some care of me." Yang Xing saw that even Kan Dongtian was in trouble and said with a wry smile. "Oh, I have no money these days, and I have too many people who are rich or have a headache." He laughed at himself, "I originally wanted to have a good rest at home, but when I heard this news, I guess the provincial party secretary would come to ask for money tomorrow. I'd better run to the United States to hide as planned!"

Kan Dongtian was somewhat surprised to hear that he was going to hide in the United States and quickly explained: "I was just joking just now. You can't escape at the last minute. At that time, people from the provinces and brothers provinces and cities came to me. I won't be able to cover you!" Yang Xingting smiled, "I was forced to do this, just say I'm considering investing overseas and asking me for money. Those guys who spread rumors are really hateful. If I'm really forced to force me, I won't go back to China for the rest of my life. Let's see how they end up. But I made a reservation early to the United States. I originally wanted to go there last year, but too many things were dragged to the present. Didn't you say that everyone is jealous of my 30 billion yuan? I spent a lot of money in the United States to see what they have to say. But I'm not a loyal person. Before leaving, I'll give you a trick to deal with our Mayor Ma."

Kan Dongtian was relieved when he heard that he wanted to invest overseas, and then he explained that the trip to the United States was a planned itinerary. Now Yang Xing's Zhongxing International is a big profit and taxpayer in Jiudu. The Central Star City project alone has absorbed nearly 10,000 employees, which is not considered the personnel in the construction of infrastructure supporting facilities. The investment amount of Central Star City will not be less than US$1 billion in the five-year construction period. The total investment target of Jiudu City last year was less than US$3 billion. The goose that laid the golden eggs cannot fly away because the mayor is very happy and others' red eye disease. When he heard that Yang Xing had a way to perfunctory mayor, he immediately became interested. This young think tank he regarded as would bring him surprises every time, and I believe his idea would not disappoint him this time.

Yang Xing opened his laptop, entered his password and opened an encrypted folder: "This is an electric vehicle recently developed by our company. Now foreign countries are vigorously promoting similar low-carbon and environmentally friendly urban transportation. Our company has established a new automobile company and is negotiating a acquisition of a automobile manufacturing factory in Qinxi Province to obtain a national automobile production qualification certificate. In addition, it is also negotiating a joint venture with the mall Huanyu Bus Factory. This electric vehicle is very suitable for urban buses, with low speed, timely brakes, and zero pollution in exhaust emissions. If all buses in Jiudu are replaced with this electric vehicle, the cost is not much but the effect is obvious. At most, there are several charging stations to be set up, which is just in line with the city's newly launched Zhongzhou Road Main Road renovation plan. This idea of ​​creating a livable city in Jiudu Garden is what you proposed. It not only meets Mayor Ma's requirements but also divides it from his honors. Why not do it?"

Kan Dongtian was moved when he heard this. He looked at the streamlined appearance and brightly colored urban bus designs on the computer screen. Compared with the large and unscrupulous subway and light rail plans, it is obvious that the upgrade method of only replacing vehicles on the existing urban bus system is smaller, the construction period is shorter, and the results can be seen immediately, which is exactly the same as Ma Yijun's appetite. The Huanyu Bus Factory, which Yang Xing mentioned, is one of the top large and medium-sized bus manufacturers in China. It was just listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange last year and is a star enterprise in Zhongyuan Province. After investing in a joint venture with Zhongxing International, it can promote new buses in the province. Its business can be further improved and become a leading enterprise in the domestic bus industry. Obviously, the province will also strongly support this.

Of course, the most important thing is to add halo to the plan to transform Jiudu’s street scene and build a livable garden city that Kan Dongtian promoted. Before this year’s Spring Festival, Jiudu organized all leadership teams to visit Singapore. After returning to China, Kan Dongtian was deeply touched by Singapore’s clean and bright streets, green spaces and other urban environments. He and Fan Wei’s mother Yu Fen, who was acting mayor at the time, formulated an overall municipal transformation plan for the transformation of Jiudu’s old city. Jiudu’s new city construction on the south bank of the Yudai River has been fully launched. The relocated industrial enterprises and newly built Central Star City have absorbed more than 100,000 people. In addition, the film and television base is being developed, Nan'an District is just around the corner to become Jiudu’s new economic and cultural center.

In comparison, the old city is a bit dilapidated, and the renovation of the old city is put on the agenda. In order not to repeat the dilemma that other urban planning lags, the city development of the city and the related supporting facilities cannot keep up, the Jiudu government also specially commissioned the Urban Planning Department of Wuhan University, the Urban Traffic Management Major of Tsinghua University, the Urban Development and Human Residence Major of China Urban University, and other colleges and universities to work together to provide advice on the entire urban planning of Jiudu.
