1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 2502
After sending Gu Kai away, Tao Donglai returned to his desk and opened another report on the capital relocation plan on the desk.For him, the actual value of this report far exceeds the anonymous report letter Gu Kai received.

This report was submitted by the Ministry of Construction, and the content is the current implementation progress of various major projects that need to be completed in the first phase of the capital relocation plan.

Liu Shanxia, ​​the Minister of Construction, went to Hangzhou last year and personally supervised the construction there.And he went with almost half of the technical force of the Ministry of Construction, and there were more than [-] senior engineers with national first-class architect titles alone.

In addition, several large construction companies affiliated to the Ministry of Construction also recruited elites from various places and sent them to Hangzhou to be responsible for the organization and implementation of various projects.

As for the actual progress of related projects, Liu Shanxia, ​​who is in the local area, will regularly submit reports to the Executive Committee, including many specific and detailed data.The credibility of this kind of report written by professionals is obviously much higher than those rumors.

Due to the special nature of the capital relocation project, the construction of related projects will not be directly handed over to private individuals, but will be assigned to special personnel by the Ministry of Construction, and then the construction force will be organized locally.

For example, a local organization called "He's Civil Engineering" was responsible for the construction of the Hangzhou Jiang'an Wharf expansion project.Liu Shanxia clearly pointed out in the report that the behind-the-scenes boss of this construction organization is actually Qu Yutong, the former prefect of Ningbo Prefecture, and Shi Diwen should also have a certain share in it.

Situations like this are relatively common in the process of moving the capital.Most of the projects are subcontracted to local institutions with reputation and background, and then these local institutions recruit construction personnel, organize various building materials, and coordinate and handle various civil affairs locally.

Although Liu Shanxia did not mention it in the report, it is presumed that after he arrived in Zhejiang, he would inevitably collect benefits from various aspects, so he made such an arrangement.

But of course this kind of thing can't be banned. For such a big project of relocating the capital, those who want to get a share of it may be able to line up from Hangzhou to Zhoushan. All Shi Diwen and Liu Shanxia can do is to choose some more reliable ones. people to be in charge of specific projects.And in the middle of this process, there will definitely be gray areas that cannot be seen.

Tao Donglai ran a real estate company before crossing over, so he knew all kinds of tricks in the development of large-scale real estate projects. Even though he saw these actions from the report of the Ministry of Construction, he had no intention of interfering with Zhejiang. way of doing.He also understands the truth that when the water is clear, there will be no fish.

However, after reading the report, Tao Donglai still has no idea how many people want to participate in the cake-sharing activities, but he can be sure that the people who are eyeing the plan to move the capital must be far more than the ones mentioned in the report. Of these, in addition to various engineering projects, there must be many people trying to make profits from other fields.

Even for Tao Donglai himself, it is difficult to guarantee that he will be completely free from selfish distractions. Compared with other people, it is nothing more than the difference in eating appearance.

Tao Donglai raised his hand to check the time, it was almost time to get off work.He called his secretary in and told him to prepare a special car to go home.

A special area was set aside outside Victory Fort, and a parking lot dedicated to senior officials was built. All the cars parked here are cars that have not yet begun to be popularized.Moreover, the current production capacity of this new type of transportation is extremely low, and it cannot be enjoyed by those who have the identity of the public. Only the twenty or so people at the top of the power pyramid are eligible to be assigned to special vehicles.For this reason, a telephone line was specially pulled from Fort Victory to the parking lot, so as to arrange the use of cars for senior officials immediately.

When Tao Donglai walked out of Victory Fort, his special car and personal guards were already in place outside the gate.This type of special car was designed with the safety of senior officials in mind, so three rows of seats are designed in the compartment, which can carry a total of seven people. In addition to the driver and four guards, you can also bring a secretary when you go out to work. .

Passers-by and carriages on the road saw this iron-clad car traveling, and they all knew that the passengers in the car were important people, and they all took the initiative to step aside to avoid it.

Tao Donglai's home is not far from Fort Victory, on the foothills north of Fort Victory, and it takes only ten minutes by car.However, this section of road twists and turns along the mountain, and it is not so convenient if you take a horse-drawn carriage.

He is not the only one who has settled down in this foothills, there are at least a dozen households in the neighborhood, and the heads of households are all senior state officials who are still in office.And within a radius of more than ten miles at the foot of the mountain, it has long been designated as a restricted area, and ordinary people cannot enter and exit at will.

The manor of Tao Donglai's family covers an area of ​​more than ten acres. Such a large piece of land was forcibly created in the mountains, and it did take some work when it was built.However, compared to the way the rulers of the feudal dynasty frequently built a piece of imperial palace, Tao Donglai's manor could be regarded as extremely simple.

Tao Donglai was alone when he crossed, but after he settled down here, he also married several women, had several children, and his family life was relatively satisfactory.

After dinner, Tao Donglai put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and ordered: "Hongfang, come to the study later."

Tao Hongfang was the eldest son of Tao Donglai, born in 1631, not yet 24 years old.This age is not too old in the second generation, and those who move quickly will have children in the second year of time travel.And Tao Donglai married the daughter of a squire, Tao Hongfang's biological mother, after Haihan captured Qiongbei and occupied the entire Hainan Island in 1630.

As the son of Tao Donglai, the educational resources that Tao Hongfang enjoyed since he was a child are of course very superior. In addition, Tao Donglai consciously instilled in him some ideas about governance. life planning.

After Tao Hongfang turned eighteen, Tao Donglai arranged for him to work under Schneider to learn various knowledge about business and finance.

Tao Donglai does not intend to allow Tao Hongfang to engage in business in the future, but he believes that if he wants to take up a position of governance in the future, he must have a deep enough understanding of this field in order to be able to plan the major policies of national development.And Schneider is an expert in this field, and Tao Hongfang will benefit a lot from learning from him.

Now that Tao Hongfang has worked in the Ministry of Commerce for five years, he has certain qualifications, but his shortcomings are still very obvious, that is, he has been staying in Hainan Island, and his vision and knowledge will inevitably be limited.Tao Donglai has always wanted to find a suitable opportunity for him to go to the outside world for a good experience, and now seems to be the time.
