Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

"Hey, that's right, Lao Luo, that's the right way to think. Don't be afraid of debt, don't be afraid of owing money, just do it! We can postpone other things, but building bridges and paving roads absolutely cannot be postponed! The same goes for railways, if we want goods to flow between the north and south, it all depends on them!"

"Otherwise, with this road condition and this limited transport capacity, what can you do? You can't do anything! You want to do international trade? You're dreaming! But if we have a road, everything will become very simple! Then we can bring trains and freight cars together, how promising will that be!"

"When that time comes, when the business is fully established, the money you invested will be just a drop in the ocean. Will you still care? You definitely won't. Not only will you not care, you'll be very glad that you made such a wise decision today!"

If we're talking about who's happiest now that Beijing is focusing its attention on highways and railways, preparing to make a big push in these areas, it's definitely Ximen Lang, who has understood the importance of roads to a country and a nation since childhood.

The saying "If you want to get rich, build roads first" is not just a saying.

"It's no exaggeration to say that when I was little, the walls and banners were mostly filled with these kinds of slogans. So I knew this phrase from a very young age, and it even grew up with me."

Bai Ling asked curiously when she learned that Ximen Lang had such a past.

"You were very young then, weren't you? Could you understand the profound meaning of those words?"

"Understanding it was definitely quite difficult. After all, I was really young at that time, only in the first or second grade of elementary school at most. I had just learned to read and at most I only knew what it was but not why it was."

"Even though I don't understand, the adults do! Everyone says road construction is good. Except for the occasional complaint about how expensive it is, no one says it's bad. So how could it be a problem?"

That's exactly how it is.

If only one or two people say it's been fixed well, then people won't believe it.

If everyone says it's been fixed well, then it must really be fixed!

"Besides, it's just that it's hard to understand when you're a child. Once you grow up, any intelligent adult will definitely see the benefits of the road being repaired."

"So, Lao Luo's decision was really wise! I give you a thumbs up, I have to give you a huge thumbs up! Just you wait and see, you will definitely feel very proud of the decision you made today!"

"I'm definitely proud, but this money..."

Seeing that Bai Ling had gone around in circles for a long time, she finally came back to the money.

"I really think Bai Ling's perspective is too narrow," Ximen Lang said speechlessly.

"In this world, those who owe money are the real bosses, you know? Especially those who owe the bank a huge sum of money that they can't repay even after several lifetimes, or even dozens or hundreds of lifetimes. Seriously, I'm not kidding, you're the boss!"

"If you really owe the bank that much money, the bank will treat you like royalty! They'll shower you with all sorts of care and concern, just in case you have a moment of weakness and something else goes wrong."

"What kind of saying is this? Is there really such a thing?"

Seeing that Bai Ling didn't even know this, Ximen Lang immediately put on a smug look that said, "You really have no knowledge."

Dede smugly introduced it to Bai Ling and the others.

"There's a saying in our area: if you owe the bank 10,000 yuan, you're a grandson; but if you owe the bank 100 million yuan, you're the bank's grandfather! And if you accidentally owe the bank hundreds of billions or trillions, you're the bank's living ancestor!"

"If you accidentally get sick, that's even worse! The bank manager might have to drop everything and contact a hospital for you immediately, and then come to visit you! During holidays, goodness, they'll visit you more often than a son-in-law!"

"As for the reason that led to all this, it's quite simple. As long as you're alive, these debts won't be considered bad debts, and the banks will at least have an explanation to give to their superiors and subordinates. As long as you can drag it out until you leave office, everything will be fine."

"But if even you, the debtor, are gone, this debt will be completely ruined! Not only will all the bank staff be in big trouble, but every single one of your suppliers will go bankrupt!"

"This has a huge impact! Compared to the extremely negative consequences that could result, the amount of money you owe is not that important. Do you understand what I mean?"

After he finished speaking, he saw that Bai Ling not only fully understood, but even seemed eager to try it out with her eyes shining!
That's utter nonsense!

Therefore, he saw that Bai Ling was actually moved!
Even Lao Luo, that guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, started to ponder deeply!

Ximen Lang hurriedly and desperately tried to find something to fix it.

"Of course, what I've said above only applies to true business tycoons. Because even if ordinary people mortgage their houses, they can only borrow a few hundred thousand at most, and a few million at most."

As they were talking, Bai Ling chimed in.

"We can get the loan, and we are certain we can! Let alone hundreds of billions or trillions, even direct loans of trillions or even ten trillions are not difficult for us!"

"Is it something difficult? But to borrow such a large sum at once, you need collateral. And then there's the interest; the interest is definitely going to be high! You..."

"A higher interest rate is fine, the higher the better! As for collateral, we have plenty of mines here, just tell us which one you like! If all else fails, we'll even mortgage the land above it! As long as you're willing to lend us money, everything is negotiable, everything is negotiable!"

Seeing that Bai Ling was even willing to mortgage her land to Xia Yiyi, Ximen Lang couldn't hold back any longer. This time, he really couldn't hold back anymore.

He shook his head and quickly refused.

"I get it now. You're planning to take out a huge loan all at once and become a deadbeat! Who would dare lend to you? What if you don't pay it back?"

"Yi Yi dares to lend us the money, as long as you don't tell anyone!"

"Nonsense! She relies on this to make money, of course she's willing to lend to you! But have you ever thought about what she'll do if she can't get the loan back?"

"What can we do? Let her do whatever she wants! If she really has the ability, she can just attack us directly! As long as they can attack us, we'll be fine!"

This infuriated Ximen Lang, making him so angry that he didn't want to talk to Bai Ling, who had no sense of shame.

Bai Ling's words were getting increasingly incoherent.

Although Lao Luo knew that Bai Ling was just teasing Ximen Lang, and that the Beijing authorities would never renege on their promise.

They neither have the face to renege on the debt owed to future generations, nor the ability to do so.

But this
How come I'm starting to feel tempted myself?

That won't do! He doesn't have the face to be a deadbeat, especially one who tries to renege on a debt owed to a younger generation!

Therefore, I simply couldn't bear to listen anymore, and I didn't dare to listen any further.

He was afraid that he would actually be swayed by Bai Ling's words.

Old Luo quickly stopped her. "Alright, Bai Ling, stop talking. Look at what you're saying, is that even reasonable? Do you think you're some kind of deadbeat? People are willing to lend us money out of great kindness to help us. Instead of repaying their kindness, you're turning around and repaying kindness with enmity? We would never do such a thing!"

"Listen to this! This is what it means to be kind and honest!"

Having finally found a kindred spirit, Ximen Lang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately began to criticize.

"Look at them, and then look at yourself. We both have two shoulders and one head, so why is there such a huge difference in how we treat each other?!"

"Is it really that big?"

"The big ones are no good! They're so big that I can't help but feel a little contemptuous of you! But if you can make it up to me properly, I might reluctantly refrain from looking down on you for now. You still have a bright future. How about it, consider it?"

"Go to hell!"

The word "go die" immediately and completely dispelled Ximen Lang's idea of ​​taking advantage of the chaos.

Seeing that Ximen Lang was even more unreliable than Bai Ling, Lao Luo quickly stopped him.

"Give me a break, you're no better than Bai Ling!"

Finally, after stopping the increasingly outrageous young couples, Lao Luo continued the previous conversation and asked one last question.

"Ah Lang, although I still need to report this to the higher-ups for a decision, the outcome is definitely not going to change. We absolutely must build the road! I'm fine on my end, but what about you, and Ms. Xia?"

Sure enough, he immediately received a reassuring pat on the chest from Ximen Lang.

"Hey, Lao Luo, don't worry! When have you ever seen me let you down? When have you ever seen Yi Yi let you down? Never, right? Whether it's steel bars, cement, or the locomotive, whatever, just take care of it!"

"Tear me down with orders? Go ahead and overwhelm me with a massive amount of orders! No matter what, I'm definitely not going to let you down! Even if you let us down, we won't! We won't lie to you; we've all been waiting for you here with bated breath!"

"Good! I'm relieved to hear that! I'll go report to my superiors now!"

After saying that, he didn't even bother to eat dinner. He turned around and went back to his car to hurry up and report to his superiors.

And as expected, the result was exactly as Lao Luo predicted.

Because the launching ceremony held in later generations was so amazing and so shocking.

Almost as soon as Lao Luo finished summarizing the situation and reported it down, the higher-ups immediately and decisively made the decision to spare no effort to establish the coastal transportation network as soon as possible!
Once the higher-ups have made their decision, things will be much easier.

Find Ximen Lang and tell him about this.

Without saying a word, in his excitement, Ximen Lang dialed Xia Yiyi's number right in front of everyone.

Then, on the very night that the message was sent to Xia Yiyi, this world factory, which could be described as a super behemoth in the future, immediately began to take action in full swing.

In just one night, hundreds of thousands of tons of steel arrived.

In just one night, all the steel needed to build a railway over a thousand kilometers long in Beijing was delivered.

Even that isn't the most terrifying thing.

The most terrifying thing is that after learning that the railway built in Beijing was also a standard gauge railway, the people of Beijing still prepared complete sets of equipment for Beijing.

Whether it's standard gauge steel rails, steel bars needed for laying roadbeds and track beds, or cement used to construct bridge piers and abutments, it's all essential.
Everything was prepared for the people of Beijing in the future!

Even power generation equipment, communication equipment, and various essential machinery were all taken into consideration for the people of Beijing in later generations!

In other words, the people in Beijing didn't need to consider anything at all. They just needed to plan the route, and then they could start construction directly under the guidance of the staff specially sent from later generations!

Yes, it's that exaggerated!

Isn't the government of Beijing eager to achieve some results as soon as possible, accelerate construction, and prioritize the construction of railways and highways in the coastal areas?
Isn't that a perfect coincidence? It's exactly what I'm good at!

Everything that Beijing needs is stuck on skill points from later generations!
If we don't speed things up for Beijing, then even the people of later generations, led by Xia Yiyi, won't be able to stand by and watch!

So, in just one day, the later generations prepared so many things for them!

More than
"Old Luo, hurry up and allocate me another huge piece of land! Ten or twenty thousand square kilometers is not too little, one hundred or eighty thousand square kilometers is not too much! Quickly allocate the land to use as a warehouse! The old open-air warehouse has exploded, it can't hold any more, not even a drop!"

The people in Beijing, led by Lao Luo, were completely dumbfounded!
I simply couldn't believe my eyes!

I'm speechless. This time, Lao Luo and Bai Ling have been thoroughly outmaneuvered by the people of the future.

then
What's next?
Almost without stopping, Lao Luo quickly coordinated with all parties and urgently allocated a large piece of land to Ximen Lang for his use.

With the complete arrival of these supplies, and the subsequent arrival of various technical and construction personnel who frantically crammed the supplies into the site.

The Fourth and Fifth tiers of Beijing City World directly ushered in a major era of infrastructure construction several decades ahead of schedule!
Because both the design and construction involved a large number of professionals from later generations, the construction speed was so fast that it made Lao Luo and Bai Ling question their own existence.

Even Ximen Lang was greatly surprised and shocked.

I was once amazed.
"At this construction speed, it's not much different from ours!"

The speed was almost comparable to the construction speed of this infrastructure maniac in later generations. How exaggerated do you think it must have been?

But no matter how exaggerated it is, none of this has anything to do with Ximen Lang anymore.

It has nothing to do with Bai Ling and Lao Luo.

After staying in this place for half a month, with the best wishes for the future, Ximen Lang and his companions embarked on their journey again and set off.

And this trip lasted for another half a month.

Of course, it was an exceptionally busy two weeks.

Therefore, it was inevitable that Ximen Lang would feel a sense of weariness. (End of Chapter)
