In the office of Leader Jia, Zhao Guoyang's words made the leaders Jia Zhichun and Fang Xuesen look happy and happy.

The two bigwigs may not know the specific situation of "Hanbao Steel Company", but they must have heard of the names.

If Zhao Guoyang is able to take down this well-known South Korean company, it is definitely because his own capabilities and assets are enough to have the possibility of success.

Of course, the big guys also knew Zhao Guoyang’s ability to make money.

But when he heard that he could acquire South Korea's second largest steel company with assets of hundreds of millions of dollars in one go, several leaders were still a little shocked.

After a while of emotion, Leader Jia first said: "Guoyang, after hearing what you said, the time for our China to carry out the 'high-speed railway project' is absolutely ripe. But, what are you concerned about this investment?"

After Leader Jia finished speaking, Li Kejian sang in front of Zhao Guoyang: "Leader Jia, the 'High-speed Railway Project' is too complex in technology and involves a wide range of aspects. Before the project begins, it is difficult to give an exact investment number..."

Turning his head to look at Zhao Guoyang, Li Kejian continued, "For example, if this project is really going to be done, Guoyang will definitely have to take on the heavy responsibility. He may need to grasp all technical directions."

"But Guoyang is not an idle home, he has his own career. If he wants to ask him to lead this project, it will definitely take up a lot of his personal time."

Speaking of this, Li Kejian paused for a moment, and then said, "Even if we don't count the loss in Guoyang's career, at least we have to give him the hiring fee for this chief expert, right?"

"Foreign experts of the level of Guoyang have never hired less than one million US dollars. This is still the annual fee... and our "high-speed railway project" may take three to five years, or even seven to eight years. Then just to pay the labor fees that Guoyang deserves is already an astronomical figure."

"So, now, leader Jia, you want Guoyang to give you an investment number, and he really can't answer you!"

After Li Kejian said this, Jia Zhichun nodded awkwardly.

Of course he knew what Mr. Li was saying was the truth.

In fact, Jia Zhichun and Fang Xuesen knew very well that with the ability of this researcher Zhao, any developed country in the world would be regarded as a national treasure.

The one million US dollars of labor fees for Zhao Guoyang just mentioned is really a conservative number.

After Li Kejian finished speaking, the office fell into silence.

Feeling the awkward atmosphere, Zhao Guoyang took the initiative to rescue the situation: "Three leaders, the 'high-speed railway project' is related to the rise of our China's industrial development. It is our responsibility to serve the country. Therefore, you don't need to calculate my personal economic losses and labor costs..."

Zhao Guoyang's words surprised the three leaders, and even more moved.

"Sales for the country" is simple to say, but difficult to do.

What Zhao Guoyang gave up this time was not a few hundred yuan or a few thousand yuan, but a "labor fee" of millions of dollars.

When the per capita annual income in 1995 was less than 4,000 yuan, this money could make people crazy.

After a while of silence, Jia Zhichun first expressed his opinion: "Okay, Guoyang. If you can say such words, leader Fang and Mr. Li admire you very much, and you must accept your affection!"

"Of course, although the labor fee is gone. But once this project is successful, I personally ask the national leaders to give you a reward."

After Jia Zhichun finished speaking, Fang Xuesen nodded immediately and said, "You are right. Lao Jia Guoyang's spirit of sacrifice is valuable. But we can't let him suffer too much. The areas that can be compensated must be compensated in place!"

"Looking back, our Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry will also apply for a special reward from the country to reward Guoyang for his outstanding contributions to the country!"

After the two bigwigs made their statements, the matter was settled.

Although Zhao Guoyang no longer cares about money, it is still a very proud thing to be recognized by the leaders.

Li Kejian, who was standing beside him, said with a smile: "Leader Jia, after saying that he would give Guoyang personal rewards, let's continue to discuss this 'high-speed railway project'."

"When I was on the road just now, Guoyang had already told me that this project may take a long time. In this regard, we need to have a long-term preparation. All funds, equipment, and talent reserves must be taken into account!"

After hearing this, Jia Zhichun nodded vigorously and said, "Old Li is right. Long-term projects like this must be planned in advance before starting. Otherwise, the follow-up will be a mess."

After pausing for a moment, Jia Zhichun said, "I suggest that you, Mr. Li, should be the commander-in-chief of this project be the one who is Mr. Li. Lao Fang, what do you think?"

When Li Kejian heard this, he was about to decline politely, and Fang Xuesen echoed.

"I completely agree with Lao Fang, what you mean! Li Lao Guai's name as the commander-in-chief is very beneficial for the adjustment between departments and units."

Turning his eyes to Zhao Guoyang, Fang Xuesen continued: "Guoyang, you are the deputy commander-in-chief of the project and arrested the technical work. How about it, you have no personal opinion, right?"

After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang smiled and said, "I have no objection at all, and I obey the leader's instructions. In fact, I'm not happy with Mr. Li in front of me to shelter from the wind and rain!"

After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, the three big guys all laughed out loud.

Li Kejian shook his head and sighed, "In Guoyang, I am just a shelter from wind and rain in your eyes!"

"No, no, no, I don't mean that!" Zhao Guoyang quickly waved his hands to express that he didn't mean that.

"All right, I'm not kidding!" Li Kejian said with a smile, "Let's discuss the preliminary implementation plan of this 'high-speed railway project'!"

After looking at Zhao Guoyang seriously, Li Kejian asked: "Guoyang, you just told me about the average construction cost per kilometer of this type of 'high-speed railway project' in the car."

"However, you haven't explained the investment at the beginning of this project."

"With both leaders here, you can talk about the points you need to invest in advance."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guoyang nodded slightly and said, "Okay, Mr. Li, I will first talk about the preparations I need to do in the early stage based on my own understanding..."

"First of all, we need to determine the situation of the first 'high-speed railway' line, which station is from which station. Which stations need to be designed on the way, and so on!"

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's analysis, Li Kejian nodded from the side and said, "Guoyang is right! The 'high-speed railway project' will definitely not be achieved overnight, and construction will be started at several locations across the country at the same time."

"At this stage, we can only do it step by step, plan the overall plan first, set the position of the first line, and then start construction!"

Jia Zhichun and Fang Xuesen nodded when they heard this, and expressed their agreement.

Jia Zhichun pondered for a moment, then started to speak: "Old Li, if this first line is the first line, I think the starting station will definitely be our capital."

"Because it will be more convenient to start the first step in Beijing, whether from the perspective of overall coordination or other aspects."

All three of them agreed with Jia Zhichun’s point of view.

Fang Xuesen nodded gently and said, "I completely agree with Lao Jia's point of view. The starting station of this first route is indeed the best choice to place it in the capital!"

Zhao Guoyang also agrees with the views of these two leaders.

Indeed, the capital itself is China's transportation hub and railway transportation center, which brings a lot of people from all directions every day.

Under such circumstances, the construction of high-speed railways can undoubtedly alleviate the pressure on some railway transportation in Beijing.

So Zhao Guoyang nodded vigorously and said, "That's right, it's true. The construction company in Beijing is very strong, and there is absolutely no problem in undertaking the construction of high-speed railway projects."

"So which city should you choose at another point in this route?" Jia Zhichun said in the air.

Zhao Guoyang pondered for a moment and said, "I think Liaoyang City is pretty good."

"Liaoyang City is the capital of Liaodong Province, with a large population and a lot of pressure on railway transportation. Building high-speed railways will definitely be of great effect in alleviating the traffic pressure of this city. Moreover, it is a moderate distance from the capital, not far or close, which is the best choice for testing our project..."

Listening to Zhao Guoyang's meticulous analysis, Li Kejian touched the beard on his chin and nodded slightly, "Yes, these two points Guoyang said make sense. The main purpose of our high-speed railway project is to relieve the pressure on railway transportation across the country and make people's travel more convenient."

"There are many departures between the capital and Liaoyang City every day, which is one of the busiest routes between the capital and the surrounding areas. I think it is feasible to choose Liaoyang City as the terminal!"

Mr. Li both agreed to Zhao Guoyang's proposal, and naturally there would be no objection to Jia Zhichun and Fang Xuesen.

Leader Jia took out a handful of cigarettes from his pocket and dispersed them for everyone. Then he began to ask: "Guoyang, the route has been confirmed. Next, let's plan the relevant supporting enterprise issues for this project!"

"Although we don't know about this 'high-speed railway project', we should be generally clear about what raw materials it needs."

"The first thing is this project construction aspect. You just said that there should be no problem for our capital city to have large construction companies such as 'Beijing 1 Construction' and 'Beijing 2 Construction'."

"Secondly, with your 'Hanbao Steel Company' as support, it shouldn't be a big problem."
