Song Guanchao paused for two seconds, then immediately realized that this old dog was taking the opportunity to extort!
But then he was a bit puzzled: "Even if the high-speed rail project is given to him, if there is no money, there still won't be any. The fiscal budget is just this much; could he possibly conjure money out of thin air?"
Wu Qiangwei said, "Building a high-speed rail doesn't necessarily require government funding."
"Bank loans, private investments, issuing national bonds, urban investment... it's all money."
Song Guanchao didn't understand these things, so he asked, "Then why don't we raise funds through these channels ourselves?"
Wu Qiangwei shook her head: "Timewise, there's not enough."
"And also..."
She paused, then said, "Zheng Bihui obviously came prepared. What I can think of, don't you think they can't?"
They only found out today that the Finance Bureau ran out of money.
