Reborn since 1993

Chapter 1381 The world is bustling, everyone is here for profit

Liu Weiguang told Li Dongling about Pingyang City's plans for next year, which had two meanings. The first, of course, was Pingyang's own plans, and it was necessary to communicate with Dongling High-Tech.

The second meaning is that Liu Weiguang was doing Li a favor and showing goodwill to the philanthropist.

He no longer needs to be as cautious as before, and his style of doing things is definitely much more high-profile than before. Things he used to worry about, he no longer has to worry about now.

When Li Dongling heard Liu Weiguang mention that Pingyang was planning to build the Pingyang Metro Line 1 project, he was momentarily stunned.

He quickly realized that Liu Weiguang and the Pingyang Municipal Government were probably just making a lot of noise in advance, and Liu Weiguang certainly couldn't guarantee whether the project could actually be completed.

The construction of a subway line often takes several years. Although the construction speed of subways in China can never be as fast as the century-long project of the British subway, it still takes several years. No one knows what might happen along the way.

The credit for the development of Pingyang Airport and the airport area definitely belongs to Liu Weiguang, but when people in Pingyang mention Pingyang Airport, they all know that it was Yao Zhengru who left it for Pingyang.

Now Liu Weiguang has also decided to leave his mark in Pingyang. Regardless of whether the new leader can accomplish it, he has at least put up the signboard.

The Pingyang Olympic Sports Center project and the Pingyang Metro Line 1 project, once approved, will be recorded in the annals of Pingyang City. They will be like a satellite launched in the entire western part of Hanxi. When people in Pingyang talk about these projects, they will always mention Liu Weiguang's name again!
Of course, ideas can never keep up with changes, and whether a subway line can be transformed from blueprints into an underground subway line remains to be seen.

However, this project is absolutely amazing. It is the first subway project in Hanxi and even the surrounding seven provinces. Even the provincial capital of Hanxi does not have a subway project yet.

Currently in China, only cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Tianjin have subways. Even Shenzhen's first subway line only started construction last year.

If the Pingyang Metro starts construction, it will be an absolutely groundbreaking and groundbreaking project, making it unique in eight provinces, including Hanxi.

Whether the new head of Pingyang can accept this great gift remains to be seen, and Liu Weiguang has no say in it. He is only responsible for applying for the project approval. Whether the project is approved or whether the money can be raised to start construction is not his concern.

"Liu Shuji is a man of great wisdom and foresight. He has truly devoted himself to Pingyang. Pingyang is fortunate to have Liu Shuji!"

The philanthropist Li praised Liu Weiguang and presented him with a brocade banner.

To be fair, Liu Weiguang definitely has the guts and the courage to plan a subway project that burns through money like paper in this day and age; that really takes guts.

Building a subway now is no cheaper than it would be in later years, and may even be more expensive, because both the equipment for building and operating the subway need to be imported from companies such as Siemens, Bombardier, and Mitsubishi, including tunnel boring machines.

In later generations, large-scale infrastructure equipment such as tunnel boring machines, gantry cranes, and cranes were all strengths of the infrastructure powerhouse. They were bought from places like Britain and India, the labels on the equipment were removed, and their own labels were put on. They acted as middlemen and resold the equipment to make a huge profit.

However, the cost of building a subway in Pingyang is estimated to be much lower than that in cities like Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Shenzhen.

Land prices in Pingyang are definitely not as high as in these places, and the cost of acquiring land is much lower.

According to the subway law introduced in China this year, more than 70% of subway equipment must be domestically produced.

If the Pingyang Metro is indeed built, it will take several years to complete. By then, the domestically produced metro equipment will be more technologically advanced and the cost will be lower.

All these costs are taken into account, and the cost of the Pingyang Metro can definitely be reduced, without incurring such a high price.

As for whether building a subway is worthwhile, that's a matter of opinion, but once the subway arrives, the city will immediately stand out.

It won't be unusual for a city to have a subway in the future, but for now, it's still a status symbol. Furthermore, if we don't plan now, it's uncertain whether we'll be allowed to build it later.

Therefore, Liu Weiguang's plan will definitely be recorded in history for Pingyang.

After exchanging information with Li Dongling about his plans and projects for leaving, Liu Weiguang was relieved to see that Li Dongling did not object.

For Liu Weiguang, Pingyang was where he started his career. Given the opportunity, he naturally hoped to elevate Pingyang to a higher level. Who wouldn't want a good reputation after death?
After Liu Weiguang left, Li Dongling did not leave the small park in the villa area. A moment later, a figure came to Li Dongling's side, and everything seemed to be in sync.

"President Li, you must be aware of Liu Shuji's plan, right?"

The speaker was Chen Linfeng, the current director of the Pingyang Municipal Government Office and Yao Zhengru's chief secretary.

Seeing Li Dongling nod, Chen Linfeng couldn't help but say, "Our sect leader is truly skilled; he's starting to make big moves now..."

At this point, Chen Linfeng paused, thinking to himself, "Who wouldn't make some big moves if they were in Liu Weiguang's position?"

Especially in Pingyang, when the cards are good enough, who wouldn't want to play a royal flush combination?

To be honest, Liu Weiguang has been quite restrained in recent years, and only now is he throwing out a pair of trump cards, but it's just talk; he hasn't actually invested any money.

"The subway project in Pingyang is a good thing for Pingyang. These kinds of things are always better done as soon as possible!"

Over the years, Li Dongling had become quite familiar with Chen Linfeng, so he naturally had no reservations and spoke directly with him.

Walking along the path in the small park, Li Dongling asked Chen Linfeng, "What are your plans for next year?"

After hesitating for a while, Chen Linfeng slowly said, "I plan to stay in Pingyang!"

After listening, Li Dongling glanced at Chen Linfeng, then nodded. Li Dongling naturally had no objection to his idea; Chen Linfeng's presence in Pingyang was certainly beneficial to Dongling High-Tech.
Whether Chen Linfeng stays in Pingyang or seeks a better job elsewhere, there are advantages and disadvantages. Chen Linfeng needs to make his own judgment, and Li Dongling is not in a position to interfere.

"Lin Feng, I think Dongling High-Tech and everyone else in Pingyang would absolutely welcome you to stay here!" Li Dongling also expressed his opinion to Chen Linfeng.

Hearing Li Dongling's words, Chen Linfeng breathed a sigh of relief. He needed Dongling High-Tech's support to do what he wanted so that he could fully realize his potential.

Domestic affairs are mostly resolved, and the establishment of Dongfang Electric Power is also in full swing.

These past few days, Li Dongling has been spending time with Yao Luoying and Xiao Zhiyuan before preparing to head to Hong Kong.

This time, Li Dongling's trip to the port city was still quite large, including Zhou Hongyi and others who were rushing to Pingyang, because 3721 website, Kingsoft, Jiangmin Antivirus and others were also preparing to list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The first wave of mainland technology companies going to list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was about to begin!

……

As the day of departure for the port city approached, Yao Luoying and Li Dashanren had been quite affectionate these past few days, with Yao Luoying acting as if she wanted to give Xiao Zhiyuan a younger brother or sister, which made Li Dashanren's old back feel a little tired.

Inside the Dongfang Jiayuan villa, a telephone rang, causing the blankets to be pulled back from their passionate embrace. Yao Luoying, her face flushed, stretched out her delicate arm and handed the Shenzhou digital cordless phone to Li Dongling.
