This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people and will last for a long time to come.

From Akita to Shikaku, all government agencies cooperated fully and produced a detailed data report in just three days.

This is help from the Akita government level, but what about the transportation industry?

Shirakawa Kaede set his sights on Shimeikai, where there are three major industry giants: Keio Group, Tokyu Group, and Odakyu Group.

When it comes to line planning and railway construction, they are definitely authoritative experts in the industry.

But unlike the future JR and Shinkansen, these three are private railways, that is, private railway companies.

If you want to impress them, righteous feelings are not worth mentioning. Only sufficient benefits are the best persuasive chips.

But this kind of huge investment involving railway construction cannot be convinced by just one word.

Such detailed information and data that can withstand verification are the best means of persuasion.

After the compiled information was distributed, Shirakawa Kaede also personally gave detailed explanations.

"Nagata-san, Ogawa-san, according to statistics, the resident population of Lukaku City has increased by about 25% in the past year compared to last year.

The business activities of all walks of life in the city have improved to varying degrees.

In addition, according to data projections, this growth trend will continue in the next few years and will not slow down at least in the next three years."

The so-called increase in the permanent population actually means that fewer people used to go out to work.

As the scale of the Shirakawa Electric headphone factory continues to expand, in addition to the direct jobs created, the accompanying economic activities also feed a large population.

Most of these people live in Lukaku City, so they are included in the population growth rate.

According to Shirakawa Electric's internal estimates, this process will take at least two years.

As the population increases, the demand for transportation will increase.

Of course, Nagata Masaru and Ogawa Kazuo also understood this truth, but this did not allow them to make up their mind to invest huge sums of money in building a new railway.

They wanted more detailed data, and Shirakawa Kaede did not disappoint them.

Turning to the next table, Bai Chuanfeng pointed to the data above.

"Antlers' major transportation needs are concentrated on the west side."

"To the west?" Nagata Masaru and Ogawa Kazuo both looked thoughtful.

"That's right." Bai Chuanfeng took a map that had been prepared and spread it in front of the two of them.

"Look, you two, the antlers are located at the northeastern border of Akita." Shirakawa Kaede circled the location of the antlers on the map.

“On its west side are the urban centers of three cities and four towns including Odate City, Kitakakita City, and Noshiro City.

The only way for people going to and from Shikaku is Odate, and then through Odate they disperse to various parts of Akita Prefecture.”

As Shirakawa Kaede drew outlines on the map, a clear route gradually came into view.

"According to our statistics, at least thousands of people commute on this road from Tai Kwun to Luk Kok every day."

Thousands of visitors? Nagata Masaru and Ogawa Kazuo’s eyes lit up, it was interesting.
