Looking at Li Zicheng in front of him, Hansen knew that if he wanted his construction company to have a place in China, perhaps this would be his best opportunity. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.

After a moment of silence, he was thinking about Qingdao's development strategy in his mind, so as to use Qingdao as a reason to persuade Li Zicheng in front of him to accept his suggestion.

"Germany's basic philosophy in the urban development of Qingdao is: take Qingdao as the leader, take the Jiaoji Railway and the hinterland of Shandong as the dragon's body, take the mouth of the Yellow River to the Yellow River Loop as the sphere of influence, take Jiaozhou Bay and the sea area along Laoshan Bay

As a sea channel, it radiates to China's coastal cities, Asia, the Pacific, and Europe and the United States... In summary, it is one city, one port, one road, and one ocean. Qingdao's designers are completely following the Western model to create a specific and subtle Berlin city.

Urban design concepts dominated the period of capitalist prosperity, and at this time China clearly had advanced market-centered comprehensive urban functions.

1A free trade port and free land for the whole world,

2 An economic and financial center city in Shandong and northern China that is connected vertically and horizontally to the north and south by railways.

3 An ecological city with beautiful scenery and efficient urban management that is suitable for living and entrepreneurship,

4A sustainable ocean city with vast development space,

5. A cultural city that is fully open, able to absorb Chinese and foreign cultural elites, and promote the integration of Chinese and Western cultures.

6A civilized city with strict rule of law.”

At this moment, Hansen motioned to his son to unfold a map he had prepared and pointed at Haizhou, the end point of the Longhai Railway.

"Mr. Li, geographically, the coastal area of ​​Haizhou is not much different from Qingdao. Therefore, its development can completely learn from Qingdao's development concept, that is, one city, one port, one road, and one ocean. In the coastal area,

A modern city supported by ports and railways was designed in European style to make it look like a European port city. My company, other companies and the Qingdao government spent fourteen years turning a desolate countryside into a

A city with a prosperous economy, this is our choice!"

At this time, Hansen had cleverly tied himself to Liuhe while speaking.

"Anyone who arrives in Qingdao has to admit that Germany has established an effective political system and administrative management system there, the city is reasonably laid out, the city has the most advanced facilities in the world, and high-standard and high-quality public facilities.

Projects such as enviable power systems, modern sewerage and drainage systems, modern schools, very high hygiene standards, and famous Asian bathing beaches. After ten years of urban greening, the former barren hills and mountains have been transformed into garden-like landscapes.

City, Qingdao has become the cleanest city in Asia. If we turn the future terminal station of the Longhai Railway into a modern city like Qingdao, then, Mr. Li, just relying on land may be able to bring benefits to your company.

Earn hundreds of millions or even billions of yuan in revenue!”

Li Zicheng, who was silent, listened to Hansen's description. Indeed, this was exactly his dream. Looking at Hansen, a German in his fifties, Li Zicheng was a little puzzled as to why he felt that he would be here.

A city was built there. Although the news that Liuhe was going to build the Longhai Railway had already spread, it seemed that no one else had noticed it at all.

"Mr. Hansen, the prospect you described is indeed very attractive, but why do you think we need to build a city? There is already Haizhou there!"

Li Zicheng's question only made Hansen smile. After talking for a long time, he took a sip of tea to clear his throat, and then turned his attention to his son, who was the one who gave him this suggestion.

"Because, you have a train station!"

After getting the hint from his father, Heind Krens immediately spoke up.

“In China, although many people have obtained the right to build railways, they have ignored the potential value of development and utilization of railway stations. Land acquisition may consume a lot of funds, but if proper development and management are carried out, the returns will be the same.

It’s amazing. Of course, this is a long-term return. If you want, you can build a train station in Haizhou, but in the end, the profits brought by the train station will be shared by the local people in Haizhou!”

Heind Krens said truthfully, in fact, five years ago, when he first saw the Longhai Railway plan proposed, in his eyes, the future Haizhou Port might even become another

Qingdao, it is precisely because of this that he proposed to his father in Tianjin to come to the capital to visit Mr. Li in order to obtain future orders.

Worst case, even if Mr. Li, like other Chinese, chooses to rely on cities to drive railways, then the company may still be able to get some railway station design contracts.

No wonder!

Listening to this explanation, Li Zicheng finally understood why he could see this but others could not. Many of them took it for granted that the big station would be located near the city, which would in turn drive the development of the entire city.

development, but there was no thought of setting up a "new town" with a train station as the center near the city.

Chinese people think this way, and foreigners think the same way. In their view, it is impossible for them to think beyond the idea of ​​"building a railway along the city", but then they will think that they have not thought about that at all, or even the situation in front of them.

Lawrence and his son just had the attitude of giving it a try.

"but,"

After understanding the reason why they said that, Li Zicheng shrugged his shoulders.

"Mr. Hansen, you should know that I need to lend a large sum of money to the government, and then use the remaining ships to build the railway. It is really hard for me to do so!"

ah!

Li Zicheng's answer only made Hansen stunned. Is he just going to give up the financial resources within his reach?

When Hansen was so shocked that he had not yet recovered, Li Zicheng suddenly spoke again.

"However, I will consider your suggestions. Maybe, um, maybe, tomorrow Liuhe can talk to you about the design of the railway station. After all, we need to build a large number of train stations in the towns along the route!"

A few minutes later, as soon as Hansen and his party left, Li Zicheng shouted to Mu Xiangyue almost urgently.

"Quick, send someone immediately to Jiangsu and buy the land here for me. If it's too late, we will suffer a big loss!"

At this time, Li Zicheng seemed even a little impatient. He had made such a big mistake. Land, and what he was most afraid of now was that someone would buy the land from him.

If someone rushes to buy it, I don't know how much the land price will be raised. By then, just thinking about Li Zicheng will make his scalp tingle.

What are you most afraid of when buying land? I'm afraid that there are people fighting for the land and driving up the land price. Now even a foreign devil like Hansen can see it, just in case...

"Also... maybe, we can find a solution from the government!"

Mu Xiangyue said to Li Zicheng after thinking for a moment.
Chapter completed!
