#190 - Chapter 190 National infrastructure construction starts! Not enough money? The state will cov
Previously, when Chen Hao claimed to donate 200 billion, Academician Sha and others thought he was just talking nonsense.
The richest man in China only had a net worth of just over 10 billion.
Where would he get 200 billion?
Just bragging!
What's the situation now?
First, General Wang said those words, and then the old man actually showed up!
He really has 200 billion!
And he really intends to donate 200 billion!
"You… How did you come?" Academician Sha asked blankly.
As an academician of the Academy of Engineering, he had the honor of seeing the old man, but only in public.
Today is considered a private meeting.
No reporters.
No cameras.
"I came a long time ago, waiting for you to finish the meeting, but…"
The old man took the initiative to reach out and shake Chen Hao's hand: "Take your time, you don't have to donate so much at once, engineering is also a gradual process."
"Please speak."
"According to what you said, multiple highways will start construction at the same time, and the construction period should be shortened as much as possible… I'm afraid this 180 billion will be used up in a few months!"
Then what?
Should the half-built road continue?
If you continue to build, who will give money for allocation?
If the country had so much money, it wouldn't have waited until now.
There is also one point.
Building multiple highways at the same time will bring a large number of people into the industry.
The raw material factories needed to build highways.
The workers who build the highways.
It will drive a large number of upstream and downstream industrial chains.
The problem is coming!
So many people invest in highway construction within a few months, what will happen after 180 billion is spent in a few months?
Millions of people unemployed?
How much social impact will it bring?
In short.
Things are not as simple as he thought!
"As long as the funds are not interrupted."
Chen Hao smiled.
"Ah?!"
Academician Sha was stunned.
"Academician Sha, don't worry."
Chen Hao revealed a confident look: "Before this 180 billion is used up, there will be a second 180 billion transferred to the special account - I said, don't worry about the money, someone will send it to you."
More than a dozen people were motionless like sculptures.
What kind of person is he?
A mathematical genius who cracked the sunflower conjecture?
A scientist who provides high-speed rail technology?
Or…
The richest man?
But even if all the top ten on the China Rich List are added together, it is not as good as his net worth!
The most outrageous thing is that those rich people on the rich list, which one has not accumulated their current wealth over many years?
What about him?
He donated 180 billion here.
Listening to what he meant…
Can he earn another 180 billion in a few months?
That's a trillion level!
Is it that easy to earn?
"Don't worry about the money, someone will send it to you." Chen Hao's words made General Wang want to laugh.
Isn't the Morgan Consortium, which is building a factory in Shanghai, a piece of fat that took the initiative to send it to your door?
It seems…
This kid is going to cheat people again!
"President Chen!"
Academician Sha stepped forward and said sternly: "Which highways do you think we should start constructing first?"
His title has changed.
President Chen.
This 'President' is neither the president nor the general manager.
But it recognizes what General Wang said at the beginning: Chen Hao is fully responsible for the technical aspects.
The 'President' here refers to…
Chief Designer!
Chief Engineer!
He deserves the respect of Academician Sha!
"That's right!"
Another road expert stepped forward: "President Chen, there are several highways under construction, I'll point them out to you…"
"Thank you."
After Chen Hao thanked him, he drew on the map: "Lianhuo, Jingzang, Baomao, etc. are under construction, I suggest investing some funds to speed up the construction!"
China has the most diligent people.
Why are some highways not open to traffic for more than ten years?
It's not that the project progress is slow.
It's because there is no money!
The finance squeezes a little every year and repairs a little.
Conversely, if the funds are fully in place, the construction speed will be very fast.
Chen Hao's words stunned everyone.
He already knew these projects like the back of his hand without any introduction!
"In addition, Changchun to Shenzhen, Shanghai to Kunming, the capital to Urumqi…"
Next, the highway lines drawn by Chen Hao are the Changshen, Hukun, and Jingxin of later generations.
In fact, some are already being planned, but there is no money to invest for the time being.
Including the highways that are already under construction, but the progress is slow due to insufficient funds.
The total plan is as many as ten!
Without exception, they are all super-long highways.
The total length is nearly 30,000 kilometers!
Super Highway
"President Chen, I still have to remind you."
Academician Sha's heart was pounding.
"Please speak."
"The cost of highways in the plains is 20 million per kilometer, and the cost in the west and north is even higher."
The old man was frightened when he looked at those lines: "The lines you planned, excluding the parts that are under construction and completed, there are still at least 23,000 kilometers, the overall cost… is really, very, very scary!"
The total cost is nearly one trillion yuan.
Chen Hao's donation of 180 billion is still a very alarming gap!
"The country will allocate funds!"
At this time.
The old man suddenly spoke, his tone very solemn: "How can the infrastructure covering the whole country be borne by this child alone? Are the billions of people in China all eating for nothing? Just follow Xiao Chen's plan!"
In the early stage, the country didn't have so much money to invest, but it will be different in the future.
Chen Hao is sure of this.
After all, these are long-distance highways, and the total construction time will be relatively long.
"Yes!"
Academician Sha nodded.
With the preliminary plan, they will be divided into two groups next.
Highway and bridge experts are responsible for the detailed planning of these highways, and a part related to railways will start to develop high-speed rail.
"That's right!"
Chen Hao stopped Academician Sha: "The wages of the people involved in road construction will be doubled."
"Ah?!" Academician Sha was dumbfounded.
Is 180 billion a lot?
A lot!
But compared with the total cost of the ten highways proposed by Chen Hao, it is far from enough.
In this case…
What does it mean to double the wages of workers?
"Just do what Xiao Chen said!" General Wang said in a deep voice.
"Okay."
A group of scientists left.
Finally, there are only three people left.
"Why double the wages?" The old man looked at Chen Hao in confusion.
"For GDP."
"Tell me about it?"
"The essence of the economy is to make money move."
Chen Hao smiled, turned over the previous map, revealing a blank back.
Then, he took a pen and wrote and drew: "Look! Chuangshiji, Tenglong Infrastructure, Jiuzhou Shipbuilding, etc., these companies have a large number of employees, and they drive upstream and downstream industrial chains - our company's wages are not bad."
"When everyone has money in their hands, they will want to spend it."
"What are the high-end consumption? For example, SP4, and for example, we will have more advanced products in the future."
"This money has returned to my hands, and I will use this money to invest again."
Finally.
Form a perfect closed loop!
What is money?
In essence, it is just a piece of paper.
After becoming a currency, it can only create value if it continues to flow.
Otherwise…
It's too hard to wipe your butt with!
The old man only knows a little about economics. Looking at the closed loop on the map, he suddenly smiled: "Okay! In this way, the people's living standards have improved, you have money in your pocket, and the national economy is stronger!"
Suddenly!
He stared at Chen Hao: "Xiao Chen, what are your opinions and suggestions for the future development of the country?"
