Chapter 862 Opening Ceremony
The opening ceremony was held in a grand manner.
The head of the railway company, the leaders of Yunnan Province, and Liu Tao could only sit on one side.
The scene was full of joy, with gongs and drums beating.
The "Fuxing" EMU was at the railway station, with big red flowers hanging on it, just like a new soldier about to join the army.
The first item of the opening ceremony was the leader's speech.
The leader held the manuscript and delivered an important speech, highly affirming the important strategic significance of the Kunlong High-speed Railway, and at the same time expressed high respect for all participating parties and workers.
In order to build the Kunlong High-speed Railway, the country mobilized 500,000 workers this time, a quarter of whom had experience in building high-speed railways.
For this Kunlong High-speed Railway, a large shield machine was specially used, and a large number of earth and stone transport vehicles were deployed.
But even so, during the years of building the Kunlong High-speed Railway, hospitals along the line.
A large number of bridges and tunnels were built along the line, and countless difficulties were overcome. The workers created miracles with fearless courage, and today's Kunlong High-speed Railway is open to traffic.
A large number of heroic workers emerged in the whole project.
Liu Tao listened to the numbers and fell silent.
Where are the infrastructure maniacs! ?
They are just a group of the most lovely people who are working hard to build a prosperous and strong country.
They chose to suffer more for themselves and less for their descendants.
The wages they received were not much, and the pensions were not much. The only benefit they got was that they would not need to pay for taking the railway in the future.
However, there are already more than 100,000 people who are qualified, but they are still struggling and not afraid of sacrifice.
Every inch of land is shed with blood, and not an inch of China's land can be lost.
Liu Tao delivered a speech on behalf of Panshan Group. For the entire Kunlong Railway, Panshan Group bears 70% of the funds, and Yunnan Province and the Ministry of Railways each bear 15% of the funds.
In terms of equity, the three parties also distributed it according to 70:15:15.
In this process, Panshan Group ensured that the funds for the entire project were in place, mobilized a large amount of resources, and provided technical support.
The entire Kunlun-Longhua Railway even takes ecological needs into consideration, that is, animal migration routes are built to minimize damage to the ecological environment.
According to estimates by relevant departments, it will take 50 to 70 years for the entire Kunlun Railway to recoup its investment.
Liu Tao pushed for this railway at the beginning, not thinking about the issue of profit at all, but considering it from a strategic perspective.
With this railway, the entire southwest will have its first sea access.
In recent years, whether it is the Mekong River, the Chao Phraya River, the Salween River and the Irrawaddy River, or the construction of the China-Laos-Cambodia Railway, the China-Myanmar Railway or the China-Thailand Railway that is being promoted, they are all opening up sea access for the entire southwest.
With these roads, railways and waterways, the development potential of the entire southwest can be raised by more than one level.
When the Mekong River initially improves its navigability, the opening of the Kunlun-Longhua High-speed Railway is of extraordinary significance.
And soon, the China-Laos-Cambodia Railway will also open to traffic in the first phase. In a few years, the China-Myanmar Railway will also open to traffic.
All the layouts and all the efforts are moving in a good direction.
Liu Tao is very fortunate. He is fortunate that the era he lives in is both the worst and the best. He fought bravely in this era and made a name for himself.
The entire ASEAN economy can develop in the future and can also grow into an important regional economy in the world.
And China and ASEAN will launch the "10+1" in the future, which is a very good way of win-win cooperation.
Now with the Kunlong Railway, the economic development along the line will enter a fast lane, and the great plains here will become a world-class granary and tropical fruit supplier.
Liu Tao also gave a very high evaluation of the Kunlong High-speed Railway, although the outside world's controversy about this railway still exists. First, the investment in this railway is large, second, the construction is difficult, and third, this is not the focus of China's development. After all, Yunnan Province has always been the southwestern border, and even in the impression of many people, Yunnan Province is still a bitter and cold place.
But anyone with aspirations knows the importance of the Kunlong Railway.
This is a strategic-level transportation artery in the southwest!
The development of China should not only be the development of the eastern coastal areas, but the comprehensive development of the entire China.
Unbalanced development is a reality, but we should try to adjust this imbalance and let the whole China develop comprehensively. In this way, China can develop better with multiple engines.
Leaders gave speeches one by one, and then the "Fuxing" EMU carried the first batch of passengers to Kun City in the north.
Liu Tao was also one of the first passengers. As for his "Ray Eagle" helicopter, a pilot would fly it back to Kun City.
In less than 5 hours, they had arrived at Kun City Station.
Liu Tao didn't return home until very late.
Even he couldn't avoid socializing and drinking.
China has always had a drinking culture, and the drinking culture exists in all fields.
In a scene like today, if you don't drink some wine, the atmosphere is always not enough, and it will make others seem not enthusiastic enough.
Everyone will see each other when they look up and down, and this point must always be paid attention to.
"Why are you drinking?" Zhu Lin was watching TV, and saw the secretary helping Liu Tao in, and hurriedly stood up and said.
The secretary said briefly, helped Liu Tao sit on the sofa, and then left.
"Really? Why did you drink for so long? You are so old, don't you know that drinking is harmful to your health?" Zhu Lin scolded in a bad mood.
But he still went to get hot water to help Liu Tao wash, and then looked at him: "Zi Yu, help your brother make a bowl of ginger soup to sober him up."
"Okay!" Liu Zi Yu, who was typing code, replied, and then got up to the kitchen to cook ginger soup.
After washing it, he drank two more bowls of ginger soup. Half an hour later, Liu Tao finally woke up.
Listening to his wife's scolding, Liu Tao couldn't help but look embarrassed. After all, at this time, he could still get drunk after drinking. It can only be said that he was a skillful dish at the wine table.
After a while, Liu Tao took his pajamas to take a shower.
After taking a shower, Liu Tao went to the living room to watch TV.
Liu Zi Yu didn't type code anymore, and watched TV in his pajamas.
"I heard from your sister-in-law that you are dating someone? When will you bring him back to me to check for you?" Liu Tao looked at Liu Zi Yu.
Liu Zi Yu said embarrassedly: "How can I date someone? I just met him not long ago. I don't dislike him. I haven't even started dating yet."
Girls are always thin-skinned in this regard.
Liu Tao smiled. It would be a lie to say that he didn't care about Liu Ziyu's relationship. He also hoped that Liu Ziyu would find his true love and have a happy marriage.
He opposed his parents' coercion because he didn't want Liu Ziyu to marry someone he didn't like and have an unhappy marriage.
Besides, he didn't like the people his parents introduced to him. Although they were all children from big courtyards, they were all ugly and none of them could make his eyes light up.
As for the excellent children from big courtyards who were about the same age as Liu Ziyu, they all got married early.
You can't let Liu Ziyu find someone who is five or six years younger, right?
