In fact, many people in China also think that the Hongqi River project is pure nonsense, after all, it would cost so much money to invest in its construction and the return on investment would be too low.
This inevitably leads to the conclusion that people with different social statuses have different perspectives.
For Zhao Ye now, making money is secondary; he has more money than he can spend.
Why not do something that will be remembered for all time?
To have one's name recorded in history and to bring glory to one's ancestors!
While many people were still questioning the Hongqi River project, a large team of experts had already gone to the west to conduct a detailed investigation of the project.
Before long, local media reported that a team of experts from Wujiang Group had arrived in the west to officially begin the investigation of the Hongqi River project...
The news caused an uproar online!
"My God! The rumor that Wujiang Group was going to build the Hongqi River project was actually true!!! At this moment, I am incredibly excited. Just thinking about how great a contribution the Hongqi River project will be to our country if it is successfully completed! Millions of people in the water-scarce northwest of China will benefit from this Hongqi River!!! It will truly be a 'meritorious deed for the present and a benefit for future generations'! Wujiang Group will also become an incredibly great company, remembered by all Chinese people!!!"
"Holy crap, the moment I heard the news, I was instantly fired up!!! Wujiang Group is awesome!!!!"
"The expert team is already taking action, which means that the launch of the Hongqi River project is not far off. It's truly something to look forward to!"
"Holy crap, if the Hongqi River project starts, then China will have taken another giant leap forward on its road to great rejuvenation!!!"
"In ancient times, the Dujiangyan Irrigation System created the Land of Abundance; today, the Hongqi River is recreating the water towns of Jiangnan!"
"Brothers, the Hongqi River project is incredibly expensive. It must be no easy feat for Wujiang Group to undertake such a massive project. We absolutely must support them! Just buy Wujiang products without hesitation!!!"
"What the person upstairs said is absolutely right. It's only right that Wujiang Group makes money! This is the true meaning of 'wealth taken from the people and used for the people,' and it deserves strong support!"
"..."
Subsequently, Wujiang Group's official website received countless likes and comments from netizens, and its products were sold out instantly.
Ideal consumption?
No, that's impossible.
The netizens' thinking is very simple: if we don't let you make money, where will you get the money to repair the Hongqi River?
Therefore, products under the Wujiang Group were snapped up, which can be described as "revenge spending".
Other domestic businesses are incredibly envious of Wujiang Group's products, seeing how popular they are and how enthusiastically netizens support them!
"Damn it! Wujiang Group is too ruthless. They're practically leaving us no way out. They're using all sorts of tricks to win over domestic consumers! Sigh! It's so tough! I'm so envious of Wujiang Group for being so popular with consumers!"
"What else can I say? For companies like ours, Wujiang Group is simply a game-changer. They dared to undertake the Hongqi River project, which would cost at least 4 trillion RMB. You have to admire them!"
"It feels like Wujiang Group has won big. Although the construction of the Hongqi River project is extremely costly, it also takes a long time. As long as they have the support of consumers across the country, it's equivalent to making back the money they spent!"
"Holy crap, this is some top-tier understanding!!! In ancient times, there was the story of holding the emperor hostage to command the feudal lords, and now Wujiang Group keeps talking about the Hongqi River project, seemingly trying to hold a portion of Chinese consumers hostage and gain their support!"
"..."
The state attaches great importance to the Hongqi River project!
Previously, there was no funding to start this project, but now that Wujiang Group has stepped in, the government immediately cooperated.
This massive water conservancy project was constructed with the help of private resources.
Wujiang Group began to frequently negotiate and discuss the construction of the Hongqi River project with the state.
Although Wujiang Group is very wealthy, the total project budget of at least 4 trillion RMB is not a small amount, and Wujiang Group hopes to receive compensation.
The Hongqi River project is massive and has a long construction period, which can be divided into many phases. With the financial resources of Wujiang Group, it is possible to sustain it.
...
"The expert group's research and analysis of the Hongqi River project will take at least a year. In addition, we also need to negotiate cooperation with the government, which will also take a long time. Therefore, it will take at least a year for the Hongqi River project to start."
Zhao Ye sipped his coffee, lost in thought.
However, some preparatory work needs to be done in advance.
The Hongqi River project will most likely be discussed at the meeting. Once the preparatory work is done, the construction will start faster.
To do something well, you must first have the right tools.
Zhao Ye instructed his men to expedite the research and development and manufacturing of a batch of machinery and equipment, and to train technical personnel.
After giving the instructions, Zhao Ye went online to check out the comments from netizens.
Good heavens! Zhao Ye suddenly discovered that someone had tagged him, suggesting that he build a dam in the Bohai Strait and turn the Bohai Sea into the world's second largest freshwater lake!
"Chairman Zhao! my country's water resources are unevenly distributed. There is more in the east and less in the west, and more in the south and less in the north. Although the South-to-North Water Diversion Project has greatly alleviated the severe water shortage crisis in the north, this method of transporting water from the south is still only a temporary solution. The Bohai Sea, as my country's northernmost near-shore sea, is also an inland sea. It is a nearly enclosed inland sea, and its eastern boundary is the line connecting Laotieshan Cape on the Liaodong Peninsula, Miaodao Island, and Penglai Cape at the northern tip of the Shandong Peninsula, which separates it from the Yellow Sea."
If a dam were built between Penglai in Shandong and Lushun in Liaoning, enclosing the Bohai Sea and replacing the seawater at a 1:1 ratio, this inland sea could be transformed into a freshwater lake, thus completely solving the water shortage problem in northern China! Furthermore, railways and highways could be built on the dam, allowing trains and cars to travel, thereby shortening the distance between Shandong and Liaoning provinces and generating enormous economic benefits. A sluice gate could be built below the dam, allowing large-tonnage ships to pass without affecting their access…
Zhao Ye found the suggestion unbelievable.
Netizens' imaginations are truly amazing!
This suggestion has many comments from netizens discussing whether building a dam in the Bohai Sea is feasible.
Compared to the Hongqi River project, the investment budget for this dam is negligible, easily amounting to only two or three hundred billion RMB. Seeing the enthusiastic discussions among netizens, even Zhao Ye was somewhat tempted.
To be honest, nowadays, there's not much that can impress Zhao Ye.
Perhaps some whimsical ideas are what Zhao Ye finds interesting.
Of course, Zhao Ye would not make a decision easily regarding whether to build a dam in the Bohai Sea.
Once the Bohai Dam is completed, it will have a significant impact, both positive and negative.
This still needs to be studied and analyzed by experts before a conclusion can be drawn...
Zhao Ye could only say that they could send an expert team to study it first.
As he turned off his phone, Zhao Ye casually liked the suggestion and went to rest. Little did he know that his "like" would cause a huge uproar online...
