Power and Official Journey - Chapter 207: Road Construction Is Obstructed

As the construction of Sidaogou Town is booming, many problems have gradually been exposed.

First of all, the road problem has become the biggest problem restricting the development of Sidaogou Town. In the past, there were not many vehicles entering and leaving Sidaogou Town. Although the original highway was time-consuming and troublesome, it could basically meet the needs of entering and leaving.

Now, with the development of Sidaogou, more than ten times more vehicles entering and leaving the town than before, and the original road in Sidaogou Town seems to be insufficient in transportation capacity. Some places are relatively narrow, and it is difficult to get a car. Not to mention that the car has a fault or something, as long as one car breaks down on the road, it will immediately cause paralysis on the entire line.

It is imminent to build a high-standard road. The previously promised investment of CICC Group to build a first-class highway from Jieling Village to Hongchuan County has now been approved by the Wucheng Transportation Bureau and the Development and Reform Commission. Preliminary surveys and designs are underway, but there is still some time before construction starts. Experts from the Provincial Transportation Design Institute predict that it will be at least half a year after opening.

During this period, Lu Yan was anxious and had a blister on his mouth. It was only in the early stage and the major projects had not yet been invested in and started construction. Now the transportation in Sidaogou Town is like this. It is hard to imagine how much road problems could be delayed if large-scale construction began after the beginning of spring.

Since it is a first-class highway, and even after this first-class highway is completed, Sidaogou Town's future development cannot rely solely on such a road. Lu Yan began to think that he should take advantage of the opportunity that many real estate developers are investing in Sidaogou Town and let them contribute some money to build another road for Sidaogou Town.

Building another road is also good news for the bosses who want to invest in real estate in Sidaogou Town. Lu Yan also promised that after the road is completed, the investment cost will be recovered soon.

After hearing what Lu Yan said, these real estate developers were naturally very interested and expressed their opinions at that time that they would definitely support the construction of the road.

With the promises of these real estate developers, Lu Yan won a lot of confidence and quickly planned and designed the early roads. According to the planning, although this road is not as good as the first-class highway invested and constructed by CICC Group, the design standards are still much higher than the previous winding mountain roads. According to the design requirements, cross the places of Daqingshan, dig caves and build bridges when encountering mountains, and strive to build the most convenient passage to Hongchuan County at one time.

But it sounds beautiful, but it is difficult to do. After the road is designed, according to the budget made by the relevant departments, the funds to be invested in the early stage alone will be 300 million yuan. This is really not a small amount, and it is also powerless for Hongchuan County, which is already surprised by the finances.

However, Lu Yan had his own way. After reporting to the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Hongchuan County finally passed the plan to raise funds for the construction of the highway proposed by Sidaogou Town.

According to this plan, all 300 million yuan need Sidaogou Town to raise all of them. After the road is completed, it will charge tolls for passing vehicles for ten years to repay the construction cost. Those who don’t understand think that the county party committee and county government now regards Sidaogou Town as a child raised by stepmother, and it is not a carefree person. In Lu Yan’s view, the county party committee and county government can give him this preferential condition, and the 300 million yuan fund is not a big problem.

On the day he received the approval document, Lu Yan contacted several real estate developers who invested in hotels and hotels in Sidaogou Town to implement the matter of fundraising for road construction.

These real estate developers used to brag more and more than the other, but when they really reached the implementation stage, the situation was not as smooth as Lu Yan thought.

Although everyone now knows that Sidaogou Town will develop very rapidly in the future, and they are willing to invest in the road construction of Sidaogou Town at this time, 300 million yuan is not a small amount after all, and these bosses can't afford so much money even if they want to invest.

As the end of the year was approaching, the problem of road construction funds was still not implemented enough. The funds raised on the books were only more than 80 million, and the gap was still large to 300 million. Lu Yan was anxious about being like an ant on a hot pan.

He had already praised Haikou at the county party committee standing committee meeting that he must build this highway, but no one expected to encounter so many difficulties together. Originally, seeing that the bosses who came to Sidaogou Town were very powerful, and each company was always a large project worth hundreds of millions of yuan. Lu Yan thought that the number of companies raised 300 million yuan in total should not be a problem. Unexpectedly, Lu Yan didn't understand real estate very well. The money of these bosses looked glorious on the books, but most of them were in the hands of banks and consumers. These real estate developers were all doing the work of laying eggs with chickens and making money with nothing.

There was really no way, so Lu Yan decided to go to the bank to inquire about the loan. However, Sidaogou Town’s fiscal revenue has not been very good over the years. Although everyone now knows that Sidaogou Town has great development potential, the bank is still unwilling to take this risk to lend more than 200 million yuan at once.

After just coming out of several banks in Wucheng City, Lu Yan, who learned that the loan road was not working, was upset. At this time, his phone rang. When he picked it up, he heard Qin Ruonan laughter came from inside: "Secretary Lu, I have arrived in your Wucheng City. Are you not going to pick me up for your Sidaogou Town to inspect?"

When Lu Yan heard the little girl with a sticky sound, he felt a bitter smile in his heart. Qin Ruonan is the chairman and general manager of Longhua Group. When he had dinner with Zhang Xilan last time, Lu Yan invited her to Sidaogou Town to inspect the drinking water production project. Unexpectedly, she chose to come to Sidaogou Town at this time.

Not to mention that it was winter, the weather was cold and the mountain springs were frozen. It was not the time to investigate drinking water production. Even the current road conditions in Sidaogou Town, Qin Ruonan would probably give up after seeing it.

Lu Yan thought to himself and said, "If a boy, please welcome to Wucheng, but I am now out of town. Why don't you go back first and I invite you to come when spring begins?"

Lu Yan was making up a lie there, but he didn't expect that Qin Ruonan was watching Lu Yan call at this time.

Qin Ruonan originally wanted to go directly to Sidaogou Town to surprise Lu Yan, but just now she happened to see Lu Yan on the street from the window of the hotel room, so she couldn't help but call Lu Yan.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yan would answer like this. Qin Ruonan looked at Lu Yan who was answering the phone on the street outside the window and felt sad. He knew that Lu Yan was lying to her, but he still couldn't help but say it.

"You are in Wucheng City. I can see you now, why do you lie to me?" Qin Ruonan is a very simple and not very cunning girl. He chose to see Lu Yan at this time because he really wanted to see him. At this time, tears could not stop flowing down while saying that.

Hearing Qin Ruonan say this, Lu Yan smiled bitterly again, "Ruonan, I am in Wucheng, but it is really not very convenient for you to go to Sidaogou Town now. Next time, I will call you in the beginning of spring."

But Qin Ruonan couldn't coax him well, so he insisted on going to Sidaogou Town now. Lu Yan had no choice but to say helplessly: "Okay, I'll wait for you below."

After hearing this, Qin Ruonan immediately cheered and threw the unhappiness just now behind him. At this time, he forgot to tell Zhang Xilan next door, and ran out in two steps.
