Looking at Li Zicheng in front of him, Hansen knew that if he wanted his construction industry to have a place in China, perhaps this would be his best opportunity. Opportunities were always prepared for those who were prepared.

After a moment of silence, he thought about Qingdao's development strategy in his mind so that he could use Qingdao as a reason to convince Li Zicheng in front of him to accept his suggestions.

"The basic concept of Germany in Qingdao's urban development is mainly: taking Qingdao as the leader, taking the Jiaoji Railway along the Jiaoji Railway and the hinterland of Shandong as the dragon body, taking the Yellow River Estuary to the Yellow River Hetao as the sphere of influence, and taking Jiaozhou Bay and the sea along the Laoshan Bay as the maritime channel, radiating China's coastal cities and the Asia-Pacific Ocean and Europe and the United States... In summary, it is one city, one port, one road, one ocean. Qingdao's designers completely shape a concrete and tiny Berlin city according to the Western model. The urban design concept of Western capitalism during the prosperity of Western capitalism occupies a dominant position, and China at this time obviously has advanced market-centered comprehensive urban functions.

1 A free trade port and free land for the whole world,

2 An economic center and financial center city in Shandong and northern China that is distributed horizontally by railways, connecting north and south,

3 An ecological city that is beautiful and efficient in urban management is suitable for life and entrepreneurship,

4 A sustainable marine city with vast space for development,

5 A cultural city that is fully open and can absorb Chinese and foreign cultural elites and promote the integration of Chinese and Western cultures.

6 A civilized city with strict rule of law.”

At this point, Hansen signaled his son to unfold a map that had been prepared and pointed at the end of the Longhai Railway, Haizhou.

"Mr. Li, in terms of geographical location, the coastal areas of Haizhou are not much different from Qingdao, so its development can be completely learned from Qingdao's development concept, that is, one city, one port, one road, one ocean, in coastal areas, design a modern city supported by ports and railways according to the European style, making it like a European port city. My foreign companies, other companies and Qingdao governments, together in 14 years, turned a barren countryside into an economically prosperous city. This is our choice!"

At this time, Hansen had cleverly tied himself to Liuhe in between his words.

"After anyone arrives in Qingdao, they have to admit that Germany has established an effective political system and administrative management system there. The city has the most advanced facilities in the world, high-standard and high-quality communal projects, such as enviable power systems, modern drainage and drainage systems, modern schools, quite high sanitary standards, and famous sea baths in Asia. After ten years of urban greening, the former barren mountains and ridges have become garden-style cities, and Qingdao has become the cleanest city in Asia. If we turn the terminal of the Longhai Railway in the future into a modern city like Qingdao, then Mr. Li, relying on land alone may bring hundreds of millions or even billions of income to your company!"

The silent Li Zicheng listened to Hansen's description. Indeed, this was his dream. Looking at Hansen, a German man in his fifties, Li Zicheng was a little puzzled. Why did he think he would build a city there? Although the news that Liuhe was about to build the Longhai Railway has long been spread, it seems that other people had not noticed this at all.

"Mr. Hansen, the prospect you described is indeed very attractive, but why do you think we need to build a city? There is already Haizhou there!"

Li Zicheng's questions only made Hansen smile. After talking for a long time, he took a sip of tea and cleared his throat, and then turned his eyes to his son. It was the suggestion he gave to himself.

“Because, you have a train station!”

Heinder Crance immediately responded after receiving his father's hint.

"In China, although many people have obtained the right to build railways, they ignore the potential value of relying on railway stations for development and utilization. Perhaps land acquisition will exhaust a lot of funds, but if appropriate development and management are carried out, the returns are also amazing. Of course, this is a long-term return. If you want, you can set up a railway station in Haizhou, but in the end, the profits brought by the railway station will be shared by locals in Haizhou!"

Heinder Crence said truthfully that in fact, five years ago, when he first saw the plan for the Longhai Railway, in his eyes, the future Haizhou Port might even become another Qingdao. It is precisely because of this that he asked his father to come to the capital in Tianjin to meet Mr. Li in order to get a future order.

At the worst, even if Mr. Li, like other Chinese, chooses to rely on cities to drive the railway, the company may still be able to get some design contracts for railway stations.

No wonder!

Listening to this explanation, Li Zicheng finally understood why he could see this, but others could not see this. Many of them took it for granted that the station would definitely be located near the city, which would drive the development of the entire city. But they never thought that a "new city" centered on the railway station was set up near the city.

Chinese people think so, foreigners think so too. In their opinion, it is impossible for them to break out of the idea of ​​"building railways along the city", but they will think that they don't think about it at all, and even the Crones and sons in front of them are just trying it out.

"but,"

After understanding the reason why they said this, Li Zicheng shrugged his shoulders.

"Mr. Hansen, you should know that I need to lend a large sum of money to the government, and then the remaining ships will be used to build railways. I am really willing but not capable!"

ah!

Li Zicheng's answer only stunned Hansen. Could it be that he just gave up the finances that are within reach?

When Hanson was so shocked that he had not yet come back to his senses, Li Zicheng suddenly spoke.

"However, I will consider your suggestions. Maybe, well, maybe, maybe, Liuhe can talk to you about the design of the railway station tomorrow. After all, we need to build a large number of railway stations in towns along the route!"

A few minutes later, as soon as Hansen and his party left, Li Zicheng almost shouted at Mu Xiangyue anxiously.

"Hurry, send someone immediately, hurry up and buy the land here for me. If it is too late, we will suffer a great loss!"

At this time, Li Zicheng seemed even a little impatient. He actually made such a big mistake. The most feared thing about land is that someone is buying land with him.

If someone rushes to buy it, I don’t know how much the land price will be raised. By then, just thinking about Li Zicheng, I feel my scalp numb.

What are the most feared when buying land? I am afraid that someone will compete for land and raise the price of land. Now even the foreigner Hansen can see it, if...

"Also... maybe, we can think of a solution from the government!"

Mu Xiangyue said to Li Zicheng after pondering for a moment.

"If I remember correctly, the northern coastal areas of Jiangsu are mostly salt farms that were just lifted in the Qing Dynasty. We can completely let the government directly allocate the land to us, and then bid for it if it has been reclaimed!"
Chapter completed!
