Chapter 75

74. Big open project

Bowen squatted down and waved to the so-called vicious dog, and it immediately ran over happily, wagging its big tail, and its furry head was arching around between his legs.

"Look at this silly bastard, does he seem to have seen his father?" Charlie asked cheerfully.

Wang Bo and the handsome Mexican laughed, and Bowen wanted to laugh too, but then he couldn't laugh out loud: "You are his father!"

"Sorry buddy, I just said it casually." Charlie also figured out what he said, so he quickly apologized, "I'm joking, don't take it seriously, I'm joking myself too, in fact, I am its grandfather."

The cowboy's eyes were cold and sharp like ice skates, and Wang Bo hurriedly prepared to fight.

They were joking and the dogs were yelling, when the door of the villa opened and a white man in beach shorts and slippers came out and asked, "Hey, what's going on?"

Wang Bo stretched out his hand and said, "Hi, are you Mr. Pastro Porter?"

"Yes, you are the king? Ha, we just met. At the summer sports meeting, you brought a very interesting bird." The man laughed.

Suddenly, Wang Bo smiled and said, "Fate, fate!"

The sports in the small town will earn him enough popularity and make him famous in the small town at once, which will be of great benefit to him in promoting Sunset Town in the future.

Potter invited them into the living room of the villa, and Wang Bo went straight to the point, saying that he wanted to build a road to connect the hill and Highway 8.

After hearing what he said, Potter said: "It's easy, but it's not me, it's my wife. Hey, Shani, come out to pick up the guests!"

Old Wang was astonished, and Bowen and Charlie stared subconsciously, but then they realized that this is not a bathing center, so how big are his eyeballs?

The handsome Mexican looked at Wang Bo in embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "Boss, we're going to talk about business later, right? I'm talking about road construction business, not flesh and blood business, right?"

"probably?"

A brown-haired woman in a dress came out. She had a beautiful appearance and a slender figure, especially her long legs under the black silk, full of elegant and charming femininity.

Knowing that Wang Bo wanted to build a third-class highway connecting Highway No. 8 and the hill, Shanni asked him to wait a moment, then turned on the computer, and as the printer started, a topographic map was printed out.

This map contains the design of Highway 8 and the detailed topography of Sunset Town. Potter took it and drew on it with a pencil, slowly drawing out a section of the road, except for a slight bend when bypassing a few small hills. , the other sections are as straight as a sword.

After looking at it, Shani said: "Although detailed geological survey is required when starting construction, based on our understanding of the Otago Plain and the Southern Alps, it should be no problem. Would you like to hear a quotation?"

Professional enough, Pharaoh nodded. He knows that road construction is very expensive, and his four million New Zealand dollars sounds like a lot, but it is just a drop in the bucket for a road.

But he has a backhand, that is, at least 15 million New Zealand dollars "Bay Psalm" is about to enter the auction.

So according to his research, it is no problem to build a third-class road with his own money.

In addition, he is only building a third-class road, which will not cost a lot of money.

There is no distinction between expressways and ordinary roads in New Zealand. It is divided into three grades. The first grade is the most expensive and can be considered as a national highway. One of the standards is that the annual average day and night passenger car traffic volume is 40,000 vehicles.

The construction cost of the third grade is the lowest, and the judgment standard is that the annual average day and night traffic volume is 8,000 vehicles. At this grade, it is a township road.

Among them, the first-class road has strict requirements on the foundation, and prestressed concrete pipe piles are required as the foundation. The third-class road has no requirements, that is, to install a water-stabilized base after leveling the ground, and then lay a solid asphalt road surface.

Xiang Ni asked Wang Bo to take a rough look at the route, and asked if there would be any problems in building in this direction. Only if there were no problems could she carry out the calculation.

Route accounting is the most important task at the beginning of a highway construction. Of course, what Porter gave is only a basic draft. The real road map needs to be verified on the spot, and a result will be given after comprehensive geology, road conditions, and biological density.

Lao Wang showed it to Charlie and the others, who frowned and looked at it carefully, but he pulled it away after just a second glance, and said contemptuously, "Why are you looking so seriously? It seems that you can really understand."

"Xue Te!" The three of them cursed one after another.

According to this road map, the construction cost of a two-way, two-lane, three-level road is 600,000 New Zealand dollars per kilometer, and the route is about 25 kilometers, which is a total of 15 million New Zealand dollars.

Hearing this quotation, Lao Wang's heart was shattered at once, mother Xipi New Zealand's road construction is so expensive? A third-class road costs 15 million New Zealand dollars, so how much is the No. 8 road?

He stared at Charlie, gritted his teeth and asked, "More than two million yuan for the construction of the town, huh?"

Charlie laughed dryly, "But the country didn't force you to build roads yourself."

"It's too expensive!" Old Wang couldn't help complaining.

Shani explained to him that this price is only an approximate estimate, and it was built according to the highest standards. In fact, calculating the funds for road construction is a very cumbersome matter, and there are too many things to consider.

Lao Wang asked if this is the highest standard, how much is the road for the lowest standard?

Shani shrugged and said, "It's much cheaper that way, about 300,000 per kilometer can be done."

Wang Bo said: "Just calculate according to this minimum standard. You can send engineers to test the soil quality, and then give me an accurate quotation."

Potter interjected and asked, "Are you serious? A road built to the minimum standard is like a layer of asphalt on the ground. It looks smooth, but it is easy to go wrong in the future."

The cost of road construction in New Zealand is indeed relatively high, because the country is prone to earthquakes, and earthquakes cause the greatest damage to roads. Some earthquakes cannot be felt by people, but they can affect road conditions.

Wang Bo is determined. He also wants to build a national road, but does he have that much money?

You know, to build a town requires more than one road, and he also needs to build houses on both sides of the road, which requires more money.

However, he is not a short-sighted person. The reason why he used the minimum specification to build the road was because he had other ideas—the heart of the lord!

Since the lord can draw the heart of the ranch and the heart of the castle, it may not be possible to draw the heart of the road in the future. With the strengthening of the heart of the road, the worst third-class road must be able to have the level of a high-quality third-class road.

Road construction is a big business, and Potter was very gracious behind the scenes to serve them drinks and food, and even hold a party for them to keep them from participating.
