In the mayor's office, Mayor Huang stared at Zhao Guoyang's eyes and asked: "Guoyang, give me a clear statement. If we really do this, how sure is it?"

After listening to Mayor Huang’s inquiry, Zhao Guoyang thought seriously for a moment before speaking: “There should be no problem in technology, the main thing is to invest money…”

Huang Zhigang was slightly stunned and asked curiously: "Guoyang, I don't understand what you said... If the country is really planning to carry out high-speed railway projects, the funds will definitely support it. What's the problem?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guoyang replied with a wry smile: "Mayor Huang, you don't know how much money it is to build this high-speed railway project..."

"Take Germanic ICE high-speed railway as an example, the construction cost per kilometer is as high as 20 million US dollars. This is still the average construction cost, and there is no consideration for issues such as bridges and tunnels."

"Compared with the flat terrain of Germanic, the terrain of our China is much more complex. If we really build high-speed railways on a large scale, even if we can save a little on labor costs, the average cost per kilometer will not be less than US$15 million..."

Mayor Huang had never expected that the cost of the high-speed railway would be astronomical, so he opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak.

Seeing the surprised appearance of the leader, Zhao Guoyang quickly spoke: "Mayor Huang, the reason why the high-speed railway is expensive is because of its stability. Once it is completed and stabilized, the cost can be recovered quickly through operation."

"In addition, with the support of national and local finances at the same time, it should be possible to provide construction funds!"

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's talk, Huang Zhigang nodded slightly.

"Well, what you said in Guoyang makes sense. The development of high-speed railways cannot only depend on investment, but also on the economic benefits it can bring after it is built and its role in improving our Chinese nation's self-esteem."

Huang Zhigang looked at Zhao Guoyang with a look of relief and said, "Guoyang, let's be honest. If someone else came over and told me about the high-speed railway, I would definitely have to take a good look."

"But if you do, there will definitely be no problem."

Mayor Huang’s trust in him made Zhao Guoyang very pleased.

He nodded vigorously, but his heart was already full of passion.

...

From Songjiang Municipal Government to Hongqiao Airport, Zhao Guoyang took Mayor Huang's special car.

Because the matter is very important, Mayor Huang meant that Zhao Guoyang would not delay for a moment and immediately set off to the capital to meet the leaders of the relevant departments.

There was no way, Zhao Guoyang, who was originally planning to set out tomorrow, had to temporarily change his itinerary and rushed to the airport.

Since Pudong Airport had not yet started construction in 1995, only Hongqiao Airport is available in the huge Songjiang City.

All domestic and foreign flights gathered at this airport, so they naturally became much more busy.

There is almost no empty seat in the waiting hall.

Fortunately, Zhao Guoyang didn't have to worry about his seat. While he was taking Mayor Huang's special car, Mayor Huang's secretary had already called the airport and asked them to coordinate the handling.

So, as soon as Zhao Guoyang got out of the car, Director Yin, who was in charge of the airport administration, was already waiting aside with joy on his face.

Zhao Guoyang got off the car and thanked Secretary Meng very much.

Originally, Zhao Guoyang thought Secretary Meng would turn back after he sent him, but who knew that this person helped him carry his bag and said to Zhao Guoyang with a smile: "Researcher Zhao, let's go, I'll take you to the waiting room!"

Seeing this, Zhao Guoyang quickly refused: "No, no! Secretary Meng, if you come to see me personally, it will be a big delay in your work. Just a few steps, I really can't bother you anymore!"

After hearing this, Secretary Meng smiled and said, "Researcher Zhao, send you safely to the airport. This was assigned to me by Mayor Huang. It has not been completed yet, so how dare I go back and reply to the leader. Don't make things difficult for me..."

Secretary Meng said this, and Zhao Guoyang had no choice but to agree.

Secretary Meng's actions were naturally of profound meaning.

Under his hard-working performance, Director Yin of the Airport suddenly understood: Researcher Zhao is probably a big celebrity in Mayor Huang's eyes.

If not, how could the mayor send his secretary over to see him off?

With such thoughts, it is not difficult to guess what will happen next.

After arriving at the VIP waiting room, Secretary Meng and Zhao Guoyang were polite and said goodbye first.

Director Yin talked to Zhao Guoyang for a few words, and then he reluctantly left the house.

After watching Director Yin leave, Zhao Guoyang looked at the time. Seeing that the plane had to take off for two hours, he took out his cell phone and hung up the phone for Mr. Li in the capital.

The phone was quickly connected, and Mr. Li's calm voice slowly came.

"Old Li, I am Zhao Guoyang!"

When he heard that it was Zhao Guoyang, Li Kejian immediately felt a little more joyful as he spoke.

He smiled heartily and said, "Ha, Guoyang, why do you have time to call me? Didn't you hear that you went to South Korea a few days ago? How about it, have you gained anything?"

"Uh..." Zhao Guoyang hesitated for a moment, then started to speak, "Old Li, this matter is a long story. I am already at Songjiang Airport now, and I guess I can arrive in the capital in three or four hours. When I arrive, I will tell you the details."

After listening to Zhao Guoyang's story, Li Kejian was a little confused. He said curiously: "Guoyang, do you say you are coming to the capital now? Is there anything important happening?"

Zhao Guoyang dared not hide anything from this old man, and quickly told him about his preparation for applying for a high-speed railway project.

"What, Guoyang, are you going to officially launch this high-speed railway project? So fast!"

Li Kejian has always been concerned about matters related to the Huaxia High-speed Railway Project.

When he was invited by the Ministry of Railways and had attended the meeting, Mr. Li had already put most of the hopes of this project on Zhao Guoyang.

However, in Li Kejian's heart, if anyone in China can take on such a heavy responsibility, it can only be Zhao Guoyang, a young man.

Of course, Li Kejian also knew very well that the construction of this high-speed railway was not a matter of overnight.

This ideal alone may involve many problems.

Even if Zhao Guoyang is a genius in industrial technology, it is impossible for him to solve all these problems by himself.

However, things are sometimes so unexpected. After only more than a year, Zhao Guoyang was confident that he would apply for a high-speed railway project.

This result made Li Kejian dare not think about it in advance.

Because it was inconvenient on the phone, Zhao Guoyang probably told Mr. Li about his "trip to South Korea".

Finally, he smiled and said, "Old Li, the specific situation, let me see you when I arrive in the capital! Do you think it's okay?"

"Okay, what's wrong with it!" Li Kejian laughed, "I'll tell Minister Fang about this good news. After you come back, the three of us will directly meet and communicate with the Ministry of Railways!"

Zhao Guoyang can naturally understand the meaning of Old Li’s words.

Needless to say, this big guy must confirm the technical issues with himself before making this matter public.

If you ventilate the Ministry of Railways now, it would be unsightly if the situation is unclear or there are some other twists and turns.

Of course, Zhao Guoyang did not have any doubts about Mr. Li's decision.

After he agreed, he reported the specific situation of his flight to Mr. Li, and then hung up the phone reluctantly.

Speaking of which, Zhao Guoyang is still very sure about the proposal of this high-speed railway project.

High-speed railways mean a lot to a country, not only a symbol of comprehensive national strength, but also a reflection of a country's industrial level reaching a level.

In 1995, there were only three or four countries in the world with high-speed railways at 300 kilometers per hour.

If China can have its own high-speed railways during this period and gradually form a network, it will be able to make a huge improvement in the level of various domestic industrial industries.

With such considerations, Zhao Guoyang gritted his teeth and made such suggestions when the current total economic output in China is not too large and funds are needed everywhere.

In addition to these considerations, Zhao Guoyang's other idea is about the transfer of high-speed railway technology.

Due to the importance of high-speed railways, most countries in the world have great demands for this.

Currently, several countries in the world that have this technology are all developed Western countries.

Their skills may be advanced, but they are not doing very well in "being kind to others".

For example, countries such as island countries and Germania have no good relations with many countries.

Such a situation undoubtedly gives China a good opportunity to enter.

As long as China has the technology of high-speed railways, it is almost foreseeable to rely on this technology to build high-speed railways for other countries in the future.

You should know that a high-speed railway worth hundreds of kilometers is a super project worth tens of billions of dollars.

If China can negotiate one or two high-speed railway businesses this year, it will be a profit of tens of billions.

Of course, if you go abroad to build, the company will definitely be responsible for it.

In this regard, Zhao Guoyang felt that his "Xingtai International" was the only one who took the lead.

After all, there are not many railway track research institutes in China that can be used to make a move.

Among them, it is even more impossible for any one to undertake high-speed railway projects.

But on my side, the "Automotive and Motor Vehicle New Technology Research Institute" has sufficient technical support...
