What happened in Hong Kong City immediately reached Yanjing, the capital. Yao Xingguo, director of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee, received a call and ran into the chief's office excitedly and reported the amazing news to the chief.

"It's really incredible. It's 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in just one hour. Comrade Jiangdong expects to complete the preliminary funding preparations for the Zero Dingyang Cross-Sea Bridge within this week, and construction can be started!"

"Not only foreign investment institutions, Comrade Jiangdong said that even Li Cheng and Liu Xiaolin also joined the rush to buy."

"When these people asked them to subscribe before, they all pushed each other, as if we were going to grab money from their pockets. But now they saw that the stock was selling so well, and they couldn't sit still and came to buy it secretly."

Yao Xingguo reported that he was very furious. A director of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee showed such an expression, which was considered very out of place. This shows how amazing what happened in Hong Kong City is.

Even Lin Zekang was stunned for the first time and did not criticize him.

After all, the country was still too poor in this era. Although it had experienced twenty years of reform and opening up, the country owed too much development debts as a whole. Take highways for example. The United States began a boom in road construction as early as the 18th century, and this national road network project lasted until the end of World War II, and their national highway network was basically finalized.

Why can the construction of the national road network in the United States last for nearly two hundred years? In the final analysis, this project requires a large amount of capital investment, tens of millions per kilometer, which is not worth a lot of money, but there is nowhere to be found.

It was not until 1992 that the construction of the national highway network was officially planned and determined. It took only a few years to catch up with the road network construction of others for nearly two hundred years. It is possible to imagine the huge pressure of investment in it.

It is precisely for this reason that the Lingding Ocean Cross-Sea Bridge was planned as early as 1992, but the construction has not started yet. One of the most important reasons is that it has no money.

You should know that the national fiscal revenue for the whole year in 1999 was only one trillion yuan, and the budget for a Zero Ocean Cross-Sea Bridge was 150 billion yuan, which exceeded one-tenth of the national revenue last year.

The country cannot afford to pay, but this cross-sea bridge is an important connection to the Pearl River Delta Expressway Network. The entire central government has been very worried about this. It can be said that it is a heart disease of Lin Zekang. As a result, this heart disease that has troubled Lin Zekang for eight years was solved so simply.

The project is established as an operation fund and then packaged and listed.

This process seems extremely simple, but in fact, it requires a very high grasp of the market, international capital mentality, as well as the financial situation around the world. Otherwise, if it is really that simple, wouldn’t the country do this earlier?

You should know that a few years ago, in order to raise construction funds, bonds were issued abroad, but the results were not so ideal.

This is normal. After all, the whole world has been sieging China for a day or two. If such bonds are allowed to be issued and raised abroad, it is already considered successful. The result? What else is the result?

Even bonds are the case, not to mention stocks. If no one buys them, wouldn’t they just have to find a way to digest them internally?

This is also the reason why Li Cheng and others resisted at the beginning. They did not think that there was any prospect for this kind of stock issuance for infrastructure, especially the infrastructure stocks of red countries. Who knew that they would be full at the beginning.

"The capital world war has been going on for more than ten years. Under the mutual tug-of-war between the United States and Europe, international capital has become a frightened bird. They do not want to be pulled back and forth by the two major forces as bargaining chips. Their desire for a stable investment environment is definitely very strong!"

"If it was ten years ago or even five years ago, I wouldn't dare to propose such a plan, but now it's OK. I'm very sure, don't forget that last year's euro was issued. In order to regain the advantage of the US dollar, the United States forcibly created wars in the Balkans and even created tragedies against us. The purpose is to avoid international capital flowing into China through the port city. This shows that we at least have the ability to influence the flow of international capital!"

"Since that's the case, why don't we give it a try? Of course, if you have other plans, then pretend I didn't say it..."

Yao remembered that when Zhou Ming explained this plan to himself on the phone, Lin Zekang thought Zhou Ming was crazy. What a fantasy thing he was saying? If he really had this influence, how could the country's development and construction funds would be so short of funds.

But in the end, Lin Zekang agreed to cooperate with Zhou Ming to do the experiment. After all,... let's give it a try, what if it's done?

Lin Zekang is now very glad that he made this decision, otherwise the Zen Dingyang Cross-Sea Bridge would not have known when it would have been dragged.

After all, the biggest problem with such a large national project is money. As long as the money is in place, everything else is easy to say.

Not only that, since the Lingdingyang Bridge can solve the capital problem through listing, what about other domestic infrastructure projects? For example, the construction of high-speed railways in the true sense can be put on the agenda.

Thinking of this, the old man Lin Zekang couldn't help but sigh: "It's a great blessing for the country to have talents like Zhou Ming!"

After hearing what Lin Zekang said, not only Yao Xingguo, but also Zhao Sen, the second-ranked leader, showed a surprised expression. He did not expect that Zhou Ming would get such a high evaluation from Lin Zekang.

Although Lin Zekang's evaluation is very high, Zhao Sen believes that he still has to pour a basin of cold water on Lin Zekang. He reminded that the Lingding Ocean Cross-Sea Bridge is not so easy to build, and he emphasized: "Especially in the Port City."

Lin Zekang waved his hand and said that this was not a problem: "As long as Li Cheng and other local snakes boarded the boat, the opposition would be easily suppressed. Besides, even if there were sporadic oppositions, we could start from Zhuhai and Macau, and the Hong Kong City could always solve it."

Lin Zekang also joked: "Since our rice fields are already full of rice, can we still starve to death?"

...

Later, what Zhao Sen was worried about happened, just as Lingdingyang Fund sold vigorously on the exchange and helped Hong Kong stocks create records after records, very discordant opposition voices emerged.

There is an old lady named Zheng Qihua in Dongxing. She heard from environmental protection groups that the Lingdingyang Bridge cannot be built. Building the bridge will produce a large number of air particles, which will affect people's health. She also said that the cataracts of Mrs. Zheng were caused by the construction of the bridge, but these governments deliberately concealed them, just to kill them, so they must prevent the construction of the Lingdingyang Bridge.

Anyone with a little common sense and independent thinking ability sneered at the words of these so-called environmental protection groups, but this old lady Zheng is nearly 70 years old and can't even write her own name. How could she know this? So she firmly believed her own.

Cataracts are caused by building bridges.

In this way, the old lady Zheng became a "just" environmental defender. Every time the environmental protection group was protesting against the government or distributing leaflets on the street, the old lady was the most active one.

Even in the end, Mrs. Zheng, under the persuasion of the so-called "democratic lawyer" Huang Minghe, took the initiative to sue the Hong Kong City government and Chief Executive Tong Hua, demanding that the government stop the project and stop the funds being raised on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

As the incident of Mrs. Zheng suing the government and Tong Hua, the originally hottest Lingdingyang Fund suddenly cooled down, and many discordant voices appeared.

"As expected, the red place in the Far East is full of trouble, and it is not a good place to invest!"

"Maybe this is the conspiracy of China to make money. You don't think about it. Any bullshit environmental protection organization dares to be so arrogant. It must be a drama directed and acted by China. It is just to hack the money. Even if the project is stopped, the money will not be refunded."

"If the stock can be sold now, it's better to sell it as soon as possible, so as not to get trapped in the future..."

When these discordant voices came out, the Lingdingyang Fund, which had been floating all the way, began to retreat and fall like a ship that lost its power.

This is very angering the Hong Kong government and the central government, but to say that some people act faster than the government.

"How can I allow this dead old woman to destroy Ling Dingyang!"

It is said that on the day the stock market cooled down, Li Cheng slapped the table hard in his villa. He contacted Liu Xiaolin and others very angrily and asked who did it.

Everyone shook their heads together. They are all shareholders of Lingdingyang Fund. No one can do such a thing that harms their own interests, let alone that they have suffered heavy losses in the British plunge, and it is even more impossible for them to cause trouble at this time.

"Since this old lady is looking for death, don't blame me!" Li Cheng clenched his fists hatefully.

It is impossible not to say that capitalists are always the most cruel. On the second day after Li Cheng made the decision, various media in Hong Kong City took the lead in attacking, and directly pointed the finger at Mrs. Zheng, accusing her of deliberately litigating in order to make 200,000 people unemployed because she had no job and wanted others to have no job.

In addition, she also accused her of using this lawsuit to gain fame and to immigrate overseas and deliberately letting Hong Kong people suffer and poor.

In addition to the media, tycoons who started as black also contacted the club to spread news that once the bridge was shut down, they would lose 8 billion. If the money was paid, it would be equivalent to HK$10,000 for each person.

The news came out, and the entire Dongxing exploded. When all the neighbors of Mrs. Zheng saw her, they were like enemies, and they thought she had lost 10,000 yuan.

In addition, lawyer Huang Minghe, who encouraged Mrs. Zheng behind his back, did not let him go and expelled him from the law firm, becoming a rat that everyone called to beat. In the end, he had to smuggle to Fujian and Taiwan, and no one knew the final result.

With the operation of the port city tycoons like Li Cheng and Liu Xiaolin, the lawsuit of Mrs. Zheng was quickly extinguished. The capital, which was originally waiting and watching, immediately believed that the project had a promising future, so it continued to subscribe to the shares.
Chapter completed!
