Chapter 652 Meeting an old friend again
The 92 Summer Olympics were held in Boluo, Xindu Shangjing, and the entire country's production and construction suddenly began to accelerate.

The Olympics went from being a game that everyone was scrambling to host to one that no one wanted to host, mainly because after a large number of venues and facilities were built, they faced high maintenance costs due to low frequency of use, or even when no one used them, they also faced high one-time construction and demolition costs.

But so far, it has not reached that stage, so everyone should still do what they can.

Before the bid was successful, the State of Boro had carried out a lot of infrastructure construction, which could be used by the citizens whether it succeeded or not.

In terms of venues, except for commonly used sports venues such as football stadiums, other venues have not been fully deployed. If the application is unsuccessful, it would be a waste of money.

After the successful bid, the construction units of the two core venues of the Olympic Games, the Boluo National Gymnasium and the National Aquatics Center, began to bid. After the rainy season, that is, in March next year, they will enter the full construction stage.

In addition to various venues, the Olympic Village, Press Village, Press Center, urban transportation system, international airport, international terminal, highways, railways, seaside beaches, Olympic Park, etc., all need to be built in greater detail.

The Central Bank of Boro State has borrowed large sums of money from its major shareholder banks. Borrowing money for development is not just a privilege of the mainland.

Wang Yuanchao's bank spent a lot of money. Anyway, he had money, and the final payment of the Saudi agency fee was coming soon. The money from Saudi Arabia was enough for the Olympic construction work in Boro State.

Wang Yuanchao himself also invested in a large number of resort hotels, and wealthy people from Hong Kong and Southeast Asian countries also flocked to invest, trying to get a piece of the Olympic pie in Boluo.

South Korea only allocated US$88 million for the 9 Seoul Olympics!

For the Olympics, the State of Boro invested a total of 83 billion US dollars in various public and private investments, which was quite exaggerated. This was also the main reason why the State of Boro was approved to apply for the Olympics.

Of course, South Korea's foundation is definitely stronger than that of Boluo, but South Korea has only been developing for a few years.

The blueprints for the core venues had already been designed long ago, and based on the relevant venues in Los Angeles, some modernization and information-based upgrades and optimizations were made to meet the latest competition requirements.

Firstly, the requirement that Wang Yuanchao set for Boluo State was to develop in a down-to-earth manner. Don't fantasize that designing a gymnasium with a special shape will enhance Boluo State's national strength and make it famous. It is enough if it is big, thick, black, sturdy, durable and fully functional.

What is outstanding about Boro is its tropical tourism resources and marine tourism resources, not these buildings.

Secondly, Boluo State can still afford this amount of upfront design cost. After all, it can save a lot of research and design time and free up more time for construction. After all, the rainy season lasts for half a year every year, which is indeed not conducive to outdoor construction, so we have to race against time.

Prime Minister Cai Peng personally led a delegation to visit the mainland, Japan and South Korea.

The main purpose of going to the mainland is to recruit workers. No matter who wins the bid for the project, the best basic workers will still be from the mainland.

In addition to recruiting workers, there is also immigration.

Chinese are definitely the best candidates for immigration, and almost everyone is welcome. However, the Boro government is very strict in examining Indians and Malay Javanese, and most of them are work visas. For women, they are more lenient.

Now that the opening up of the mainland is basically stable, Wang Yuanchao will no longer intervene in his private capacity and will leave such matters to official cooperation between the two sides.

The main purpose of going to Japan was to supervise the construction of Japan's high-speed railway. The contract was finalized before the appreciation of the yen, and the down payment was paid.

Before the appreciation of the Japanese yen, the State of Boro stockpiled a large amount of Japanese debt in order to take advantage of the doubling of the yen.

Don’t feel too comfortable now that you are using the previous daily debt to pay the progress payment.

There are still 86 years from 92 to 6, and the total mileage is 450 kilometers, which is more than enough time.

But it certainly could not be completed in 92. Wang Yuanchao’s requirement for the high-speed railway was to start trial operation before 90.

Therefore, Cai Peng still has to go to Japan to get some fresh air and discuss more trade purchases, such as purchasing various types of Japanese construction machinery, in order to promote progress with large orders. Although the contract stipulates a high penalty for overdue liquidated damages, Boluo State does not want to make this money. On the contrary, Boluo State would rather Japan complete the project ahead of schedule and pay an extra bonus.

The small machinery of Boro State also developed rapidly.

For example, a small engine with a propeller mounted on a small sampan becomes a speedboat, which is currently the most popular means of water transportation in Boluo State; in towns, there are a large number of two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycles, which are very convenient for transporting people and goods.

The tax level in Boro is very low, so the government encourages people to use engines more, which can promote gasoline sales and collect a lot of taxes through oil prices. In short, it encourages people to consume and collects consumption taxes.

The purpose of going to South Korea is to inspect its preparations for the Olympics and learn from it. We cannot perform too much worse than South Korea.

The population of Boluo is only half of that of South Korea. It is a truly new and developing country. It is slightly worse than South Korea, but that is completely acceptable.

Wang Yuanchao let Boro host the Olympic Games just to take the opportunity to absorb a large number of people and recommend this country to people all over the world. He just wanted to build this country well, not to prove anything. Small countries do not have this burden.

……

Wang Yuanchao received a notice from the State of Boro that the Saudi Olympic Committee planned to visit the State of Boro to inspect the preparations for the Olympic bid, and Saudi Arabia also had considerations in this regard.

Wang Yuanchao knew that Prince Bandar was going to arrange someone to deliver the money.

He didn't care whether the big rocket arrived in Saudi Arabia. It was impossible for the mainland to cheat him. After all, the money did not need to be paid by the mainland.

However, Saudi Arabia sent out a signal, and only Wang Yuanchao knew the meaning behind the signal.

So he immediately asked the Boluo Head Office of the Hong Kong Commercial Bank to prepare an escort convoy so that it could be responded to at any time.

Then he rushed back to the mainland.

Such a large sum of money still needs to be taken seriously.

He didn't dare to ask directly, after all, the matter was rather confidential, and he didn't want to be involved, so he just walked around in front of the comrades in charge and told everyone that he was back and was keeping an eye on the deal.

As for the civil affairs department, Cai Peng had just visited and shown concern, so he stopped bothering and went to the education department instead, trying to get some high-quality talents. Wang Yuanchao was quite generous to the education department, donating money, materials, primary schools, and vocational schools, so the comrades in the education department specially greeted him at the door.

As a result, as soon as he got off the car, he bumped into a familiar face in the crowd that he hadn't seen for many years.

He was stunned for a moment, and the person on the other side was also stunned.

But since we were all adults, it didn't affect him being surrounded by comrades from the education department and led into the building.

In addition to recruiting some high school students to study in Boluo State, we also invited teachers from mainland universities to go to Boluo State for exchange and teaching, and we received relatively satisfactory responses.

There are limited places in mainland universities these days, so there is nothing wrong with helping Boluo State recruit some college students.

As for the exchanges among university teachers, it can also be regarded as an opportunity for young teachers to broaden their horizons.

After the matter was discussed, professional officials from Boluo State naturally came to take charge of the connection, and Wang Yuanchao took his leave.

Comrades in the education department must see Wang Yuanchao off to the car before returning to work.

Wang Yuanchao instructed the driver to make a circle and then return to the vicinity of the office building.

Sure enough, someone was waiting for him downstairs.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Seeing his car stopped, he walked over quickly.

Without waiting for the other party to make any move, Wang Yuanchao rolled down the window and said:
"Get in the car first!"

The other party did not hesitate either. He opened the car door and got in.

The car moved.

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"I knew you understood the gesture I made to you."

Even if they bumped into each other, Wang Yuanchao would not deliberately avoid it. He was not a thief, he would openly invite people to chat and reminisce about the past. If he could help others, he would be happy to do so, after all, he had the ability to do so.

Zhou Rong didn't respond, and after a moment of silence, she said:
"I heard someone in the department talking about Comrade Aiding Korea before. Comrade Aiding Korea, I didn't expect it was really you."

Wang Yuanchao remembered that this person was a teacher in the play, so he asked:
“You work in education?”

Zhou Rong looked at Wang Yuanchao and said:

"I graduated with a master's degree in Chinese from Capital University last year, and then was assigned to work in the education sector."

Wang Yuanchao said "hmm" and said:
"Are you married?"

Zhou Rong smiled:
"You don't even ask me if I've been doing well these years?"

Wang Yuanchao readily accepted the advice and said with a smile:

"So how are you doing?"

Zhou Rong restrained her smile and let out a long sigh:

"I thought you really fell into the water."

After faking his death and escaping, Wang Yuanchao never contacted Zhou Rong again. He didn't expect that this woman still paid attention to him, which made him feel a little guilty.

But in that era, safety was the top priority, and Zhou Rong was really uncontrollable. Now that she had escaped, he certainly wouldn't dare to provoke her.

"It is true that I fell into the water, but the King of Hell would not take me away." Wang Yuanchao said as a matter of course.

Falling into the water intentionally is still falling into the water, and it cannot be faked.

Zhou Rong's chest heaved, as if she had a thousand words to say, but she didn't say them in the end. She just said:

"You, are you married?"

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"Not only have I been married, I've been married many times, and I have a lot of children."

As he spoke, Wang Yuanchao pretended to rummage through his briefcase and took out a family photo from the space, saying:

"Here, these are my wives and children in Hong Kong. I have seven wives and dozens of children!"

This was filmed in Hong Kong during the Chinese New Year, and Lydia Lydia and Chen Xueru were also included.

Zhou Rong's face turned pale, and she forced a smile. She carefully took the group photo that looked like the graduation photo, and said:
"Really."

It really looks like a graduation photo.

Wang Yuanchao sat in the middle left, then on his right was Liu Qijin, on his left was Lou Xiaoe, and on his right was Wang Ling, and in this order, eight people sat in a row.

Except for Wang Yuanchao, everyone was holding a child in their arms, or there were some kids sitting on the ground in front, and a bunch of teenagers standing in the back, and there was even a young couple holding a child (Chen Kui and Xu Jingli's family), and a big girl (Wang Mingming)...
