The world's first village

Chapter 178

After more than ten days of busy bidding evaluation, SS Travel Company finally completed the bidding evaluation of all scenic spots in the morning of February 2th, and announced it in the afternoon of February 19th.

All the companies that won the bid were naturally overjoyed, and those who did not win the bid were of course listless, and some even cursed after learning about it.

On February 2st, SS Travel Company signed contracts with the winning bidders and released a press conference. At that time, hundreds of domestic and foreign media witnessed this grand event.

SS company requires that all bid-winning units must enter the site and start construction within ten days after signing the contract.

At two o'clock in the afternoon on February 2th, the Second Ring Expressway of Rongcheng City, Chenjia Village in the northwest direction, at this moment, people could be heard from a long distance.

Looking from a distance, one can see that thousands of people gathered on the wide area bulldozed, all kinds of red banners were hung all over the scene, and hundreds of road and bridge machinery were neatly lined up on the other side. The scene was really hot.

Today is the commencement ceremony of the expressway project from Chenjia Village in Rongcheng to Ruo County. This section of expressway is called "Rongruo Expressway", which is the expressway from Rongcheng to the southeast of the Erxin Ring Road of Ai Ai Village.

Shi Lin and Guo Jie from SS Company, middle and high-level personnel from the tourism company, provincial ZF secretary, senior officials, director of the Provincial Transportation Bureau, and Huaxia Railway Bureau [-] attended the groundbreaking ceremony.

As the representative of the construction unit, Zhu Yan, chairman of the board of directors of Huaxia Railway Group, delivered a speech on stage.

In her speech, Zhu Yan firstly thanked SS Company for its trust in Huaxia Railway Group, and extended a warm welcome to all ZF leaders and guests who attended the groundbreaking ceremony.

Then he introduced the group's corporate background and achievements over the years, and finally he solemnly promised to deliver a high-quality, high-quality, high-satisfaction project to satisfy SS, supervisors, and the public.

Next, the provincial ZF representative also delivered a speech, commending the contribution of SS company in the past year, praising the vigorous investment in tourism development, and ensuring the smooth development of investment and development.

As the investor, SS Company was also the climax of the ceremony. Shi Lin, as the company representative, also gave a speech and officially announced the start of the project.

When Shilin announced the start of construction, there was a roaring salute, which was deafening.

Hundreds of domestic and foreign media, including CCTV, also conducted interviews and reports on the spot, as well as live broadcasts from provincial TV stations.

After all, this is the project with the largest investment in the world, and the whole world is watching.

As soon as Shi Lin stepped down from the stage, dozens of reporters surrounded him, and more than a dozen microphones approached Shi Lin's mouth.

"Mr. Shi, can such a large-scale investment guarantee the profitability of the attraction? Why not continue to develop your own advantages?" A female reporter near Shilin asked first.

Shi Lin also knew that these reporters could not be avoided at this time. Although he was a little annoyed, he had to stop and replied with a smile: "I said before that developing tourism is my dream. I can't guarantee whether it will make money. Please wait and see." .”

"After the expressway is built, how will it be charged? Or will it be free?" Shi Lin just finished speaking, and then a male reporter asked first.

"It's impossible for free, but the toll will be much lower than the general high-speed toll. The specific toll needs to be investigated. If you want to be free, you must at least recover the cost." Shi Lin turned to the male reporter and replied with a smile.

In Shilin's view, tourist attractions do not rely on this highway to make money. The more tourists there are, the higher the income of the scenic spots will be.

But investing tens of billions in it still has to earn back some of the cost.

The fee is reduced, and all passengers drive small cars, and the scenic spot needs to accommodate more parking spaces. If there are too many vehicles in the scenic spot, there may be traffic restrictions.

"Mr. Shi, I heard that the design of the first phase of the scenic spot must be able to accommodate more than 50 tourists. Does that mean that the future scenic spots will have 50 tourists at the same time?
Isn't that equivalent to the population of a small city?Is it a bit exaggerated? "A middle-aged male reporter among the reporters asked first.

"That's right, Mr. Shi, isn't the 50 resident tourists a bit too exaggerated? For example, the domestic tourist attraction with the most daily traffic is only 10 people, and the resident is estimated to be around [-]."

"Mr. Shi, the first phase of the design has to accommodate 50 people, isn't it too wasteful?"

The middle-aged male reporter had just finished asking, and other reporters also used "50" as a key word to ask questions.

After hearing this, Shi Lin replied without hesitation: "Yes, our goal for the first phase is to have 50 tourists staying in the scenic spot within three days. As for whether it can be realized, please wait and see!"

Afterwards, Shi Lin answered a few more questions from the reporters, and if there were more, Jinkou would be sealed. The security guard next to him saw the prompt and stepped forward to block the reporters. These reporters had no choice but to leave and turn to other people.

As Shi Lin walked and watched, Lian Bin next to him introduced the specific overview of the expressway, and at the same time, the chief engineer of the construction company was also explaining.

The route of "Rongruo Expressway" starts from Chenjia Village in the northwest of Rongcheng, and ends at 30 kilometers southeast of the second heart ring of Ai Ai Village in Ruo County.

"Rongruo Expressway" is divided into six sub-sections for bidding, that is, six different units carry out construction at the same time, including the construction of service centers within the scope, as well as roadside landscape design and infrastructure construction.

The groundbreaking ceremony is of course at the beginning of the expressway, and the groundbreaking ceremony is no longer held on other road sections.

It is divided into six sections and constructed at the same time, which is also to speed up the construction progress.

Of course, the entrances of the six sections are definitely different. Some enter the site from the Jiugou National Highway, some enter the site from the end of the construction site, and other places enter the site from the route leading to the Love Village.

It can be said that for a while, these routes were somewhat blocked.

The design driving speed is 120km per hour, full-scale two-way eight-lane high-grade highway, the roadbed is 46 meters wide, the central divider is 3 meters, the width of the carriageway is 2×(4×3.75) meters, and there are 178 bridges, which are composed of prestressed concrete composite boxes Beam composition.

路面结构为：25cm厚级配碎石垫层+35厘米厚水泥稳定级配碎石底基层+25cm厚水泥稳定级配碎石基层+7cm厚粗粒式沥青混凝土下面层+5cm厚中粒式改性沥青混凝土表面层。

That is to say, the thickness of the pavement is 97cm, which is thick enough. The introduction of Stone Forest is quite complicated.

"By the way, how about the high-speed traffic design?" Shi Lin thought of the key to the expressway. After all, how many cars can enter each day is related to how many people can enter the scenic spot.

"It can adapt to the annual average day and night passenger car traffic volume of 50000 vehicles, and the maximum can reach 15 vehicles per day!" Shi Lin just finished asking, and the chief engineer of the project next to him immediately replied.

Shi Lin pondered for a while, then casually replied: "Well, it can barely meet the requirements. For now, the airport needs to be built, and maybe the high-speed rail needs to be built."

Shi Lin answered casually, didn't he know that the few people who followed him had already felt a wave of horror in their hearts, how much money would it cost to invest, is there really such a big surety?

Afterwards, Shi Lin looked at the surrounding construction sites. Looking around, there were also various road and bridge machinery entering the site one after another. He didn't know whether it would be open to traffic before the end of the year.

Shi Lin thought to himself, it's useless to think too much, the end of the year is still far away, it's better to think about the opening of the new store in a few days.
