Chapter 621 High-speed rail line regulations (asking for monthly tickets)

At night, it was quiet.

A low and gentle voice could be heard vaguely.

The starry sky outside was full of stars, and a full moon was hanging in the sky.

Today happened to be the 15th day of the lunar calendar. The moon on the 15th day of the lunar calendar is always round and bright, and the bright moonlight is all over the earth.

It happened to snow lightly tonight, and snowflakes fell from the sky.

The northwest wind was howling, and if someone was outside, they would probably be frozen into popsicles.

Inside the house, the sound had stopped and returned to silence.

Zhu Lin snuggled in Liu Tao's arms, quietly enjoying the quietness of the moment. In Liu Tao's arms, she felt a sense of security.

Every time at this time, her inner sense of security was the strongest, and her heart was the quietest.

The two chatted in a low voice, and gradually, the voice became smaller and smaller, and finally returned to calm, with only the sound of sleeping breathing.

The next morning, when the two woke up, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.

The children had gone to play one by one.

Liu Tao yawned, stretched, washed up, put on his pajamas, and then went to the living room.

He turned on the TV and watched the news.

Today's news is about the visit of Kuwaiti King Jaber Sabah to China.

China gave the King of Kuwait extremely high diplomatic courtesy standards. When the special plane entered the Chinese airspace, two fighter jets escorted it. When the special plane landed at the Beijing Airport, the leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs personally went to the airport to pick it up and welcomed the King of Kuwait to visit China.

Liu Tao watched the news and wanted to capture some information from it to make judgments.

Around dusk, Liu Tao received a call, but the plane was done.

Liu Tao smiled happily.

In the past few days, the contract agreements that had been negotiated were signed one by one, and the only thing left was the plane on the Kuwaiti side.

For the Kuwaiti aircraft order, Liu Tao stayed in Beijing for two more days, waiting for the King of Kuwait to visit China.

And now this result proves that it was worth it for him to stay for two more days.

20 J-10s, 2 ‘J-7A’s’ and 3 ‘Eagle’ advanced trainers, with a total order value of $600 million.

Soon, after signing the contract, Liu Tao left Beijing. This time he did not take a special plane, but took the ‘Fuxing’ EMU from Beijing to Shanghai.

After the construction of three lines, the ‘Beijing-Shanghai Railway’ was finally built on two lines, and now it is time to start the full-line test run.

As for the double-track construction, it will not be completed and opened to traffic until 1992.

Beijing South Station has been rebuilt at this time, and it is no less than Beijing West Station.

The entire Beijing South Station covers a very large area and is a modern railway station.

Liu Tao boarded the ‘Fuxing’ EMU, which has 8 carriages and has been tested on sections many times before.

The crew members have also been trained in the past few years.

After all, high-speed rail is different from traditional rail, and the operating concept is also different.

Even for buying tickets, there are automatic ticket machines. You need an ID card to buy tickets at the window. As for the letter of introduction, it is no longer needed.

On the platform of the railway station, you can still see a row of green trains. Perhaps in less than 20 years, green trains will be eliminated and no longer participate in passenger transportation, but only in freight transportation.

The doors of the "Fuxing" EMU began to close, and then opened to test the entire line.

In addition to the leaders of the Ministry of Railways, the Development and Reform Commission and other departments, the leaders of Beijing and Shanghai also participated in this test.

Everyone discussed with great interest.

A large number of them have taken the Beijing-Kowloon High-speed Railway, but some of them took the "Fuxing" EMU for the first time.

Although the Beijing-Shanghai Railway will not start trial operation until half a year later, it has extraordinary significance for all cities along the Beijing-Shanghai Railway.

This is of great significance to strengthening the connection between Shanghai and Beijing.

Liu Tao looked at the virtual panel and watched the situation of the "Fuxing" EMU at any time.

Although the probability of an emergency is extremely small, he had explored the entire line before, but he always had to be prepared.

Otherwise, if something happened, the casualties would be shocking.

This is how the full-line test run is, no one knows if there will be any problems.

It is better to be careful.

Finally, the "Fuxing" EMU arrived at Hongqiao Station in the Magic City.

After dinner, Liu Tao and the person in charge of the Ministry of Railways were together.

Leader Li took out a map with railway lines on it.

Liu Tao saw that this was the planned route of China's high-speed rail.

Among them, the "Beijing-Kowloon High-speed Railway" and the "Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway" are marked as under construction, and there are many other lines.

Although the Beijing-Kowloon High-speed Railway and the Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway are still under construction and have not been fully completed, it is obvious that the Ministry of Railways has not stopped and is already planning the future high-speed rail network.

Liu Tao admired in his heart that it seems that the infrastructure maniac is really rooted in the bones of every Chinese, and it is deeply rooted, even in this era.

For example, Liu Tao saw a high-speed rail line, which was connected through the Nanning-Kunming High-speed Railway, Nanning-Guangzhou High-speed Railway, Guangzhou-Shenzhen High-speed Railway, Xiamen-Shenzhen High-speed Railway, Fuzhou-Xiamen High-speed Railway, Hangzhou-Ningbo High-speed Railway, and Shanghai-Hangzhou High-speed Railway, and then connected to the Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway to form a roughly arc-shaped high-speed rail line.

There is also the "Beijing-Guangzhou High-speed Railway" composed of three sections: Beijing-Shijiazhuang High-speed Railway, Shijiazhuang-Wuhan High-speed Railway, and Wuhan-Guangzhou High-speed Railway, with a total length of 2,298 kilometers!

Liu Tao looked at these high-speed rail networks and was afraid that if they were really built, the total length of the high-speed rail would exceed 20,000 kilometers.

"In the future, we in China will build high-speed railways to make transportation between cities faster. High-speed railways will mainly be used for passenger transportation, and the original railways will be developed in the direction of freight transportation." Li Senmao looked expectantly.

Liu Tao smiled: "Yes, one day, it will come true!"

He knew that in less than 30 years, the mileage of China's high-speed railways would exceed 20,000 kilometers, and the high-speed railway network would be well connected by then.

Even China's high-speed railways can be said to be invincible in the world.

But now, it is obvious that not many high-speed railways will be built in a short time.

Because the country does not have so much money to invest in it, at most some more lines will be built, and it will not be like the Beijing-Kowloon High-speed Railway and the Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway.

Panshan Group will not invest as much as the Beijing-Kowloon High-speed Railway and the Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway, because with the rise in prices and labor costs, the cost of building high-speed railways is rising rapidly.

Panshan Group will only invest in individual high-speed railway lines with large passenger flow, rather than spending money desperately, because even if Panshan Group can make money, it cannot support the entire high-speed railway network.

Liu Tao understood what the leader meant, but he couldn't take it up, because Panshan Group couldn't afford such a huge project.

Unless the Ministry of Railways took over two-thirds of it, it would be better to slow down.

Seeing this, the leader felt helpless. If the Ministry of Railways came, where would the Ministry of Railways have so much money? If he dared to submit a high-speed railway, it would require the state to invest tens of billions or even hundreds of billions, and the leaders above would have to curse at him.

The reason why the Beijing-Kowloon High-speed Railway and the Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway were successfully started and built was that the leaders above supported it very much because the money was paid by Panshan Group.

If the Ministry of Finance paid for it, the leaders of the Ministry of Finance would have to get angry with him.

He took out such a high-speed railway line planning map, just to pull Liu Tao and let Panshan Group pay for it, but it was a pity that Liu Tao didn't fall into the trap at all.

At the end of the month, I ask for monthly tickets.

Now there are 4,750 monthly tickets, and 250 tickets are short of 5,000 tickets.
