Reborn 80s

If you want to be rich, build roads first!

For example, ordinary paved roads can no longer meet everyone's pursuits, and economic development must rely on highways.

The quality of the expressway built by the pension fund company is definitely second to none. The roadbed is quite thick, and there is no problem at all for transporting hundreds of tons of vehicles.

It should be said that there is no problem with a vehicle weighing several hundred tons.

For example, oversized and overweight vehicles can be driven on the expressway as long as they apply for documents.

Moreover, at the highway exit, a road is specially designed for this type of vehicle.

Normally, it is closed.

It saves you having to dismantle the toll station.

If such special roads are set up, they are usually only at some important entrances and exits.

"Dr. Chen, I think building this road will be of great significance to the economic development of Shuchuan. The straight-line distance from Shuchuan to Shencheng is 1,500 kilometers. And if this highway is built, the straight line distance from Shuchuan to the sea will be

The distance is only 800 kilometers. This almost reduces the distance by half, which will greatly speed up Yuzhou's car exports."

"The most important point is to supplement the freight transportation on the Yangtze River."

Nowadays, Yuzhou's automobile and motorcycle exports basically rely on the Yangtze River.

So is there a time period when the Yangtze River cannot be navigable?

Of course there is.

Moreover, the duration of the ban on flights ranges from a few days to dozens of days.

During the ban on navigation, there is naturally no way for exported goods to be transported through the Yangtze River.

You can only go by land.

The train has become one of the options.

However, the transportation capacity of trains was also insufficient at that time.

The long-term ban on navigation has also had a considerable impact on people's travel. Passenger traffic on the Yangtze River has been declining since 1995.

Shipping on the Yangtze River has also begun to focus on freight.

As for passenger transportation, people only take a boat trip on the Yangtze River when traveling specifically.

Except for cruise ships, normal people would not choose to travel by boat.

Really, it took too long.

Of all modes of transportation, water transportation is the slowest.

One knot is equal to 1 nautical mile per hour, which is 1.825 kilometers per hour.

For a ship, a speed of more than ten knots is considered relatively fast.

In other words, riding a bicycle may be faster than riding a boat.

Such a speed is obviously slow for people who are increasingly pressed for time.

For goods with high timeliness, this speed is also quite slow.

Of course, for bulk goods, timeliness is not so important.

For example, for ore, the transportation time of one or two months is completely acceptable.

The most important thing is to reduce shipping costs.

The freight rate of water transportation is the lowest among all transportation.

If there is a nearby expressway, Yuzhou's products can go to the nearest seaport through the expressway.

The nearest outlet to the sea in the southwestern region is Chengfang Port in western Guangdong.

When Zhang Qiao saw Chen Huaiqing thinking deeply, he knew that Chen Huaiqing was attracted by this.

Compared with eastern Guangdong, the development of western Guangdong is quite unsatisfactory.

Although it is a coastal province, the economy of western Guangdong is at the bottom of all coastal provinces.

You have to find a way.

As for the port, western Guangdong is not that good now.

There is no way. Since ancient times, there has been no tradition of going to sea from western Guangdong.

The main thing is that the hinterland of western Guangdong is the southwest region.

Except for Shuchuan, a land of abundance, many other places in the southwest region are covered with high mountains and ridges.

Chen Huaiqing does have some temptations.

"Zhang Province, the pension fund company is really not suitable for investing in building this highway. How about this, let Western Guangdong take the lead, and talk to Qian Province and Sichuan Province about building this highway. Qianlu Bank

We can form a banking syndicate with several banks such as Conian Bank to provide you with loans for this project."

There is no problem with bank loans.

It is a normal practice in China to take out loans to build roads and use the collected tolls to repay the loan and interest.

Zhang Qiao: "Okay, then let's talk with Qian Province and Sichuan Province."

There were quite a few people who came to Chen Huaiqing to invest in building roads.

Chen Huaiqing always said to find a bank for a loan.

He had never heard that after the highway was built, it went bankrupt because it could not repay the loan.

Some highways are indeed suffering losses, but they are not bankrupt!

It is also beneficial for banks to provide loans to expressways. The amount of funds required is large, and most importantly, the risks are relatively small.

The pension fund company has occupied the main highway, but there are also branch lines that have not been occupied.

It's the kind of expressway between cities.

The highways invested and built by pension fund companies are generally from provincial capitals to provincial capitals.

Or from the provincial capital to the main cities in the province.

After Chen Huaiqing arrived in Beijing, one company he must visit was Mota Microelectronics.

Mota Microelectronics, as a leading enterprise in the field of domestic semiconductor equipment, is not well known to the public. However, within the industry, anyone with a little knowledge knows that the development level of Huaguo Semiconductor is determined by Mota Microelectronics.

The photolithography machines produced by Mota Microelectronics determine the process progress of the semiconductor industry.

"Since this year, several neon companies that have been cooperating with us have blocked the orders we have already placed. They say that they have insufficient production capacity and will deliver us late. Affected by this, the volume of our Mota300 lithography machine has been reduced.

Production has been severely affected.”

If key parts are stuck, production will naturally not be able to continue.

Chen Huaiqing couldn't help but frown. The Mota300 lithography machine is the latest generation of lithography machines from Mota Microelectronics. Several units have been manufactured for use by Mota Microelectronics before.

Then based on the problems found during the use of Mota Semiconductor, continuous improvements will be made.

Now it is finally finalized and ready for mass production.

But someone got stuck.

Chen Huaiqing: "It's very good. If you hit the snake, you will hit Qicun. This really stops our Qicun. Can domestically produced parts and components be substituted?"

Chen Huaiqing did not expect that problems could be solved through negotiation.

This kind of thing happened to Shencheng Microelectronics back then.

The 90-nanometer photolithography machine was successfully developed and wanted to be mass-produced. However, foreign parts manufacturers stopped selling parts one after another.

In this way, apart from developing prototypes, Shencheng Microelectronics cannot mass-produce them at all.

The inability to mass produce means that the huge investment previously invested in research and development will not be able to recover the cost at all.

To a certain extent, Shencheng Microelectronics' vitality was damaged.

Chen Huaiqing has always been on guard against this kind of thing happening. Any technology available abroad must be available domestically.

Whatever can be made abroad must be made domestically.

"Substitution is possible, but it will affect the accuracy of the lithography machine. The Mota300 lithography machine uses foreign parts, and the maximum lithography accuracy can reach 280 nanometers. If it uses domestic parts, it can only reach 360 nanometers."

The difference is 80 nanometers!

Is 80 nanometers too much?

Of course there are many, and it’s like a natural chasm in terms of technology.
