How much does it cost to build a sea-crossing bridge of tens of kilometers?
When faced with this problem, many people tend to subconsciously compare it with the cases of Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao in later generations. They think that Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao cost 120 billion yuan, which is only about 60 kilometers, so why should each kilometer cost 2 billion yuan.
But this algorithm is actually wrong, because Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao use both bridges and tunnels, and a long section in the middle is reduced to the seabed to exist in the form of an undersea tunnel in order not to affect the navigation of the Pearl River Basin - Guangdong, Hong Kong, Special Economic Zone
, are all famous deep-water ports, and N-thousand-ton seagoing ships need to enter and exit. No matter how high the bridge is, it may affect shipping, so it is better to build a submersible undersea tunnel.
And if Lanfang builds a bridge connecting the main island of Kalimantan, it will not affect shipping at all. Ships going to Kuching Port can only go slightly north and bypass the main island of Lanfang. As for going to Wenzhou
The ships in Lai Port will not increase the voyage distance at all.
Therefore, in terms of cost, the idea of the Lanfang Bridge is closer to the later Ark Bay Cross-sea Bridge - Gu Kun calculated that the Lanfang Bridge has a cross-sea distance of nearly 30 nautical miles, which is equivalent to 45 kilometers, which is 36 kilometers longer than the Ark Bay Bridge.
The Bay Cross-sea Bridge is a little longer.
At the same time, although the later Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao is 60 kilometers long, due to the mixed use of bridges and tunnels, the main bridge is only more than 30 kilometers, so the length is not as good as Gu Kun's Lanfang Bridge.
Similarly, the Key West Bridge in Oceania, which has become famous in recent years due to Cameron and Schwarzenegger's movie "True Lies", although it is said to be "90 miles long, it is closer to Cuba than to Miami."
", but in fact the Key West Bridge is a series of bridges that connect each of the islands in the Key West Islands.
The longest single bridge among them is called "Seven Mile Bridge". As the name suggests, it is only seven miles, which is equivalent to less than 12 kilometers - it is the Lucia saboteurs in "True Lies" who drove trucks to load nuclear bombs and wanted to detonate them in Miami.
As a result, the bridge was destroyed by Schwarzenegger's teammates firing missiles from Harrier fighter jets.
Therefore, to use an analogy that all "Civilization" players will understand - Gu Kun built the Lanfang Bridge, which can definitely achieve the wonder data of "the world's longest single cross-sea bridge", and maintain this world record for at least
In twenty or thirty years, we will achieve "Cultural Victory Points XXX".
There is no need to consider the navigation and bridge-tunnel Ark Bay Cross-sea Bridge. The cost is only 10.7 billion yuan, only 1/11 of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao mixed-use bridge and tunnel.
After calculating the reduction in inflation caused by starting construction ten years in advance, as well as the decline in local land acquisition and material costs during the Southeast Asian financial crisis, and the decline in project costs caused by the sluggish demand for infrastructure. Even if the mileage is 30% longer than the Ark Bay Bridge, Gu Kun is confident
Control the project cost within US$1 billion.
And try to make as little down payment as possible, get a loan if you can, and use a bridge property mortgage as a mortgage if you can.
As for the water diversion project, the construction cost is actually not very high.
That thing only requires tens of kilometers of reinforced concrete pipes to be thrown into the sea. You don't even need to bury them all the way, and you don't have to worry about being broken and damaged. The construction method is almost as simple and crude as laying submarine communication optical cables. (Undersea optical cables are also directly thrown away.
Armored cables on the seabed do not need to be buried. Sometimes when the network is disconnected in a large area, the submarine optical cable may be accidentally broken)
Some people may wonder: It is cheap to put pipes on the seabed, but the altitude of the pipes is lower than the reservoir that receives the water source. How can the water flow through? Does it require a pumping station, which consumes huge energy?
In fact, there is no need to worry about this. The specific principle is somewhat similar to the "Yellow Crossing Project" of China's "South-to-North Water Diversion". One of the biggest difficulties in China's South-to-North Water Diversion is to let the Han River water cross the Yellow River from north to south and continue to transport it to Hebei. And crossing the Yellow River
The water pipeline on the river bed must have an altitude lower than the river surface on the water receiving side.
But as long as a large reservoir is built at both ends of the pipe, ensuring that there is a sufficient gap in the water levels of the reservoirs that deliver and receive water, and there is a slight gap between the various sections of the pipe itself, the water can be pressed through.
Gu Kun's three years of marine engineering at Hujiang Jiaotong University were not in vain. Now he can roughly estimate the cost of such a project.
This is the real application of what you have learned, and reading the books is not in vain.
…
Gu Kun roughly popularized with Zhu Youdong the concept of "taking advantage of the financial crisis to use the lowest cost to occupy the pitfalls. I am a top student at Jiaotong University, so I will not be fooled by others in terms of cost."
In view of Gu Kun's historical power of "leading Lan Fang from one victory to another", Zhu Youdong was successfully brainwashed after all, and completely opened all negotiation authority for foreign cooperation to Gu Kun.
Incidentally, they also agreed to Gu Kun's request for appointment and dismissal, and confirmed Tang Jia's position so that she could represent Lanfang Islands and jointly be responsible for external international cooperation negotiations. (Tang Jia had already expedited the application for nationality a few days ago.
Naturalization procedures, now you are a citizen of Lanfang Islands)
A few days later, Gu Kun took his assistant, Gao Jianxiong and Tang Jia to the north of China and rushed to Hujiang to seek international cooperation under the banner of New Year greetings.
On January 10, half a month before New Year's Eve, Gu Kun successfully arrived in Hujiang. He first stayed at his Oriental Pearl River View Villa in Lujiazui for one night, and then spread the news.
He Lan from COSCO responded quickly and rushed to Gu Kun's house to collect the debt the next day.
"Gu Sheng is such a trustworthy person. He promised that there would be news in half a year, and indeed it was only half a year. The last time you promised us was on June 28 last year, and now it is exactly half a year. I believe that our COSCO Department will follow you in the future.
It will be more pleasant to work together.”
As soon as He Lan came to the door, she said good things and held Gu Kun up and down the steps. She also brought a gift in a very low manner and offered it to him eagerly.
Of course Gu Kun didn't care about the value of the gift. It was just a gesture. He took a quick look and smiled. They were all Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs weighing at least eight taels or even more than one kilogram. At the end of the year in Shanghai, this was the most popular thing.
It's time to get a gift.
People in Hujiang love to eat crabs, and they respect river crabs, while sea crabs have no reputation. Yangcheng Lake is also close to the neighboring city of Suzhou, so it can be said that the hairy crabs are popular due to the demand of diners in Hujiang.
He Lan knew that Gu Kun was born in Lanfang and started in the fishing industry. For Gu Kun, precious seafood was just a meal, so he got some lake fresh food to mix it up. Gu Kun spent three years studying in Hujiang.
Taste for hairy crabs.
At that moment, Gu Kun responded in kind: "Manager He is too polite. In business, keeping promises is just a basic skill. Besides, I only promised that 'there will be changes within six months,' and I didn't say that the contract would be fulfilled within half a year. But
Now Soros's tricks are obviously not over yet, so I can't rush into fulfilling the contract. I have to give it a few more months."
He Lan's face became a little embarrassed: "More grace? That's a long way off. There must be a clear explanation."
Gu Kun was also unambiguous: "After Soros's series of speculations in Southeast Asia have completely ceased, I will definitely fulfill the contract within a month at most. This time, I have given a clear letter of confirmation of the effective conditions. Doesn't Manager He still believe me?"
"
He Lan sighed: "Strictly speaking, you are indeed not a breach of trust, but if you continue like this, I am afraid that we, Mr. Ye, will not be qualified to sit down and talk about cooperation with you on an equal footing. You already have billions of dollars in capital, and you still
Able to control the country's national power and economy like an arm and a finger..."
Gu Kun smiled and said: "How could it be? Manager He is being overly modest. Your COSCO is a large group with an annual turnover of nearly 10 billion US dollars. If Lanfang's GDP increases tenfold, it is estimated that it can be on par with COSCO's turnover."
"But Mr. Ye is only the top leader of the East China branch. No matter how strong COSCO is, it is nothing more than a fake and a powerful force to him." He Lan interrupted calmly.
Gu Kun laughed awkwardly: "I have always supported partners who work well with me, and I also hope that everyone can continue to cooperate for a long time. This year should be a critical year for corporate adjustment, and I will definitely help in any way I can."
"
Although Huaxia has separated the government from enterprises, there are still close personnel transfers between enterprises and agencies. Every now and then, deputy leaders of industry authorities will be transferred to companies at the level of "Huaxia XX Corporation" as top leaders.
Over time, the company's personnel transfers have also developed a biological clock cycle that changes every five years. For example, the years 92 to 93, 97 to 98, and 02 to 03 are key handovers that determine whether company personnel can progress further in their careers. At this juncture,
If corporate executives cannot climb up, they will have to hibernate for at least four more years.
He Lan's boss, Mr. Ye, was also the top leader of the company's East China area before the 1992 restructuring. His seniority is almost enough, but his credit is still lacking. This year, I heard that there are several older generation people in the head office.
Retirement is a good opportunity.
Since Gu Kun has made it clear that he will try his best to squeeze out some achievements in international cooperation, it will be easier for both parties to talk.
The financial crisis in Southeast Asia has also caused temporary difficulties for many Chinese companies in foreign trade, and exports to Southeast Asia have seriously declined. The decline of the shipping industry is even worse than that of the foreign trade industry. At this time, no fault is a merit, and success is a merit. If we can open up a little,
His achievements are even more conspicuous, and he will definitely be regarded as a strong-armed minister who can lead the company out of difficulties.
Gu Kun saw that the friendship between the two parties was about the same, so he made it clear: "I am here this time, taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, and want to book a batch of construction projects. We, Lan Fang, want to take advantage of the low prices and lack of demand in Southeast Asia to hunt for bargains.
Building infrastructure stimulates the economy.
As a friend, I will not hide it from you. I have at least 2 billion US dollars of my own funds, but I cannot spend them all on infrastructure. I hope to get a large loan through the consistent friendly cooperation with your company and China Construction Bank.
Several major projects include the Upper Malanfang-Kuching Water Diversion Project, the Lanfang Cross-Sea Bridge, the Lanfang Submarine Communication Optical Cable, and Borneo Telecommunications.
As for China, if it is willing to accept the mortgage of project ownership, that would be the best, and if it is willing to become a shareholder, we will also accept it."
Gu Kun never expected the wonders themselves to have a high return on investment, so if Chinese capital was willing to take a stake, he would be eager to transfer all the ownership of the bridge and the right to collect bridge tolls in the future.
Anyway, it would be enough for him as long as the overall convenience of Lanzhou will be improved after the completion of the bridge and other facilities, and the landmark's publicity effect on the country.
"It's a beautiful thought. So far, except for two extensions, I have received no benefits. Now you come to us to ask for a loan again? Why are there such shameless people? You just put the money in your pocket, and when you need the money, you take out a loan! You
Tell me, how much loan do you owe to China Construction Bank? How many times have we, COSCO, guaranteed it for you!" He Lan complained secretly in her heart. Fortunately, she couldn't hold back the words and kept a smile on her face.
