Chapter 382: Chapter 382 Concern from All Parties

While chatting with several women, Ji Yang received a call from Zhou Chengqian.

"Bro, how come I heard you’ve submitted a proposal?"

Sure enough, this kid was well-informed; he knew everything that was happening here.

Ji Yang said, "There is indeed such a proposal. Since the provincial and city governments don’t care about the development here and I’ve lost their support, I have no choice but to take matters into my own hands."

"What I understand is that they don’t support you, but they don’t obstruct you either. They just want you to be stuck there for a few years," Zhou Chengqian remarked.

Ji Yang said, "I can’t just sit and wait while the common people have no opportunity to develop, so I came up with this plan..."

Ji Yang briefly explained the entire plan.

Zhou Chengqian exclaimed in amazement, "Bro, you’re planning to build a new city!"

"Yes, if this city gets off the ground, Chunshui County will be revitalized."

Zhou Chengqian pondered for a moment and said, "I never expected you to stir up such a big commotion. My dad can’t help you in your province, but my uncle in Tiangui Province can."

"Your uncle is in Tiangui Province?"

Ji Yang truly didn’t know about this.

"Yeah, my uncle is the head honcho of the military police in Tiangui Province."

Ji Yang said, "If I can handle it, there’s no need to trouble him then."

"After hearing your plan, which involves digging two tunnels, I know that the military police have been involved in many construction projects in recent years, including tunnel construction. Wait a moment, I’ll make a call to help you get in touch."

Zhou Chengqian hung up the phone directly.

Ji Yang was somewhat stunned, not expecting the other party to have such a connection.

The military police indeed possessed considerable construction capabilities; if they took over the project, the construction time might be significantly reduced.

While he waited, Chu Shuyuan’s call came through as well.

She sounded anxious right from the start, "Yang, are you planning to build a new city?"

Ji Yang said, "Yes, I have to do it..."

Naturally, Ji Yang shared some of his thoughts with her as well.

After listening, Chu Shuyuan said, "Building a new city will cost hundreds of billions; I guess you can muster at most ten billion at your end, which is already a stretch. Even if you take out more loans, twenty billion at best, how can that amount be enough?"

Ji Yang said, "I plan to develop in stages; I don’t need all the funds in one go."

"That’s still going to be difficult."

At this point, Chu Shuyuan said, "When the Chu Family left, everyone had an agreement not to interfere with the affairs in South Dian, so even if we wanted to help you, it would be hard to do so."

"Really, there’s no need. I’ll manage, bit by bit. You know Wu Mi and the others; I’m currently discussing it with them."

Chu Shuyuan said, "We can’t help you much with South Dian, but we can help you from Tiangui Province. If you manage to open that route, entering Tiangui Province will be much easier, and at that time, we can help you clear many checkpoints."

"Zhou Chengqian mentioned it; his uncle is the head of the military police in Tiangui Province, and they’ll help me with the tunnels."

"That’s indeed good news. If the military is involved in the construction, the timeline could be significantly reduced, and the quality can be guaranteed. You start working on it, and if you need anything, we can discuss it then."

After the call ended, Ji Yang saw that the women were all looking at him, and he didn’t hide anything from them, sharing the contents of both calls.

"This is good news. If it were a regular company doing the construction, there would probably be various issues, but with the military, it’s much easier."

"Yes, I think we should start by building the road over there; then it will be much easier to quickly transport construction materials."

They discussed further.

Wu Mi said, "Bro, I think many construction materials can be sourced locally. Set up related factories there; we can start with bricks and gravel. Once we have the road, the other materials can be transported in."

Wu Yu said, "Many construction materials cannot just be procured locally; we still need the road. Right now, the construction is constrained by the road issue, and we must take care of this first."

While they were talking, Zhou Chengqian called again.

"Bro, I spoke to my uncle about your new city project, and he’s very supportive. He said they could handle the tunneling task; boring through the tunnels is not a big issue for them, and from what you’ve described about the tunnels, both mountains have sheer cliff faces suitable for tunneling; they can just pierce through the thinner sections. We can work from both ends simultaneously, and advancing one meter per day on each side is definitely doable."

Ji Yang said, "The mountainous terrain in the county has already been surveyed by professionals; the construction difficulty shouldn’t be too great. The cliff face I’ve chosen is at most fifty meters thick."

"In that case, if the construction starts, it won’t take many months to break through."

"Alright, first open them up, and it will facilitate construction here if transportation becomes possible."

"My uncle will send people to survey the site; you take care of receiving them."

This kid was quite efficient!

Ji Yang was pleased with Zhou Chengqian’s help.

"By the way, my uncle said that the total cost isn’t as much as you think. You don’t have to worry about the expense being too high; they are committed to doing a solid job on the project, even if it means not making a profit."

"Then, please extend my regards to your uncle."
