Chapter 1566 Basic Traffic
Yang Yuanzhao spared no effort to support him, which immediately caused a greater sensation in a considerable circle. It has never appeared in the history of Yang Yuanzhao's control of power. Is it possible that there are other interests in this project, whether there are or not, in the corresponding people's minds, the rating of this project has basically been increased by an order of magnitude, and the number of grants and investments has also increased accordingly.
This part is just a part of hot money, but China not only has hot money, but even if each household invests hundreds of millions of dollars, it is only tens of billions of dollars. However, hundreds, thousands, or even more than tens of thousands of dollars, they all know. Even if each company takes out tens of thousands of dollars, it is a huge number. Before the positive publicity, it was still well-informed people or those with strong judgment. Now, they are almost told the entire China that China wants to develop Central and Southern Province.
Yang Yuanzhao's will has nothing to do with the imperial edict in this era, and to some extent, it is better. The supporting 7 billion yuan of funds is in place with the support of major central banks. The technology and personnel are open to Wang Rongmin's choice. As long as Wang Rongmin calls out, he supports it unconditionally and ensures that the personnel are sent as quickly as possible.
Now the wild horses opened Xinjiang. The major banks that had hesitated and worried before were all hesitant and concerned. There were no branches to open branches in Central and Southern Province. There were branches to directly solve a large amount of funds and start to provide guarantees for Central and Southern Province at the bank level. For a time, in terms of loans, loans for Central and Southern Province were much more abundant than before.
With such changes, Wang Rongmin was also jumped by Yang Yuanzhao's actions. Obviously, his opinions were fully recognized. The central government's support was still above his imagination and the bank's preferences. Even as a government, he could not borrow too much from the bank, but through publicity, he could allow Central and Southern Province and even the wealthy people around him to invest in this project.
The 7 billion yuan of supporting funds were almost all received through bank channels, which made him much more abundant, but he did not continue his previous choice. Before the central government's support, the petrochemical and steel projects he forcibly promoted have not yet been launched, and the gap is still quite large with investments from various places.
However, under the premise that the central supporting funds were all in place, they were not placed on petrochemical and steel projects. Those projects could be opened with hot money. The first thing he implemented was transportation. If you want to be rich, you should first build roads. This is the case for small families. In a province, the same is true. Without a convenient railway or a developed highway, the Kara Canal was successfully built, and even the Bangkok Port was built, a large amount of materials could not be transported internally, and the huge effect of the Kara Canal could not be achieved.
Transportation does not just refer to railways. For China, transportation is a complete system. To put it bluntly, it is a transportation project that saves voyages. Experts on the canal have not come yet. However, in the central government, it must be the simplest, easiest to construct, and most efficient to produce results. It must be considered successful. The Kara Canal is the core of investment in the entire Central and Southern Province. Although there is only 180 million investment, if these are missing, the subsequent investment of billions or even tens of billions will basically be wasted.
Of course, this fast is not a canal, it is just a waste of time. Take the Kiel Canal as an example. This canal, which is of great military significance to Germany, was built without considering it clearly when it was built. It was expanded once in 10 years and it was costly. If it were not for the help of Yang Yuanzhao and China, China would have allowed China to play a huge construction capacity and play a role in the Kiel Canal, he would not even be able to catch up with the beginning of the war.
Of course, China will not repeat the mistakes of the Kiel Canal, and it will not be like the subsequent canal. It must be expanded just now, because Yang Yuanzhao has a forward-looking vision. As a century-old canal, this canal must at least meet the basic traffic capacity of more than 100,000 tons, which is enough. Yang Yuanzhao is not a ship expert. Of course, he cannot remember the basic data of merchant ships and oil and gas mixed ships of more than 100,000 tons in later generations. However, there are experts around him. Even if there are technical shortcomings, they can make up for it. The final data is the basic data of the canal. It can only be higher than this, but not lower than this.
The canal is just the most favorable project in Central and Southern Province. How to build favorable links is the first step to build a large port centered on Bangkok. Bangkok is the largest, with an annual throughput of more than 1.25 billion tons. Next is a series of surrounding ports. The berth and throughput must be guaranteed before this logistics can be put into use.
Next, there are railways and highways combined with ports. The railways in Central South Province are already good. At least the major cities are full of trunk railways, but under the huge project, it is not enough. Without money, Wang Rongmin has already made plans to strengthen four railways. Now, Central South Province has simply formed a railway network similar to the mainland. The three largest cities in Bangkok and Vientiane Hanoi are one central axis, forming at least four ring lines, almost all over the entire Central South Province.
Focusing on Bangkok and the Kra Canal is at most a super Bangkok, plus a channel with huge throughput. However, if a network is formed, Central and Southern Province will usher in a huge development opportunity. Even if a person or a city grows 50% or 80%, there will always be a limit. Only by using the overall strength of the entire Central and Southern Province, the development of Central and Southern Province will achieve great development.
Therefore, even if these investments cannot directly bring benefits, they must be done in advance. Wang Rongmin seems to be clear that when the driving effect brought by overall industrialization is like a mountain and river, it is extremely fierce. In the future, Bangkok, Vientiane and Hanoi will be the three nodes for the development of the entire Central and Southern Province, and assist a series of ports in the Gulf of Thailand and the South China Sea, a new wave of development will be formed. If it continues to develop continuously, at most ten years or at least five years, the entire Central and Southern Province will change.
In this round of construction, in addition to railways and ports, greater investment is on the roads. Compared with the four railways that have basically been formed, what needs to be done at present is to expand, use heavier rails to replace the original, and use better trains to replace the original to form greater throughput capacity. The ports are also relatively ready-made. Whether it is Bangkok or Phnom Penh, they are relatively mature ports. At most, they can be expanded and a modern reconstruction. The overall investment is relatively small, but the investment is huge, because before Central South Province, except for a few places, there were very few roads. Relying on the construction of railways, they were connected from Bangkok, Vientiane to Hanoi Key Avenue, and connected these three important cities in Central South Province.
