Chapter 140: Stone City Development Plan

Wan Changling said unhurriedly: "Xiaofeng, you can look at something first." ”

As he spoke, Wan Changling took out a folded drawing from his purse and slowly displayed it in front of Jiang Feng.

"Xiaofeng, take a look, this is the Shicheng District Party Committee and District Government's comprehensive opinions and suggestions from all aspects, after full demonstration, made the Shicheng District Development Planning Map." Because the drawing was relatively large and couldn't be pounced on the desk, Wan Changling spread the drawing on the floor of the office, and then said to Jiang Feng.

Hearing this, Jiang Feng leaned forward and looked carefully at the urban planning map that Wan Changling had taken out.

The whole drawing is made by computer inkjet, some of the more important places, as well as detailed descriptions, and various functional areas are separated by different colors. The streets are criss-crossed, and key construction projects are clearly marked.

The most commendable thing is that there is a drawing that is compatible with the existing layout of the current Shicheng District. and the urban planning for the next three years, it seems to be clear at a glance and does not require too much effort.

"According to your drawing, the size of the city in Shicheng District will be more than two or three times larger, and if you add the marginal enterprise building complex, I am afraid it will be more than five or six times. Uncle Wan, I would like to ask, does Shicheng District have so much money to support these construction projects? It is impossible to rely on appropriations from above, and this is not a small amount. Uncle Wan, it's even more impossible for you to ask your nephew for help, and your nephew doesn't open a bank. Jiang Feng said.

Although Jiang Feng has money now, even after he buys Manchester United Club and Xiaomi Group, he can still have at least six billion US dollars left, which is as high as 50 billion yuan when converted into RMB. However, he couldn't have invested all that money in the infrastructure of Stone City. First, the profitability of this investment is too slow, and now Jiangfeng is still in the period of capital accumulation. I don't want to make such a low-return investment; Second, he already had an investment plan, and he didn't want to ruin the plan he had set first.

Wan Changling naturally didn't know that Jiang Feng still had an astronomical amount of money worth billions of dollars overseas, he smiled and said: "Xiaofeng, of course I know this, and I didn't say that I want you to invest alone, it is impossible, because the funds needed will be tens of billions." You have money again. It is also impossible to support it alone. However, if an enterprise has no strength, no resources, no technology, it is indeed difficult to obtain funds for development! Therefore, we now also want to talk about the bazaar that we are preparing in Shicheng, which is an important source of income for the district treasury in the next few years. ”

Wan Changling walked to the side of the planning map, pointed to the large piece of land located on the side of the planning map of the entire Shicheng District and said: "Because our Shicheng is located in the border area of Jiangzhou City, Jingbei Province, Chunan Province and Qiannan Province, although it is a mountainous and hilly area, it has inherent advantages in the development of logistics. This is also the plan of our Shicheng District Party Committee and District Government. Over here. We will build a trading market for household appliances and agricultural materials including Wujinjiaodian, non-staple food, clothing, building materials, home decoration and professional-level home appliances and agricultural materials. As for its market size. We expect it to be the largest in the entire Jiangzhou City and even in the southwest of the country. ”

Jiangzhou City and even the largest comprehensive market in Southwest China, how big does that have to be?! Jiang Feng immediately estimated the scope of that area, which was about six or seven square kilometers, and such a large area wanted to be built. How much money do you need?

Jiang Feng heard the present and saw the present, and he already understood a little. It seems that Wan Changling had the idea. It's asking yourself to invest.

So Jiang Feng cooperated and asked: "How much money is expected to be invested?" Is there any money in the district? ”

"Although there is some money in the district, it is still far from enough." Wan Changling replied with a smile, "Even if the district can raise some funds, it will be around one or two hundred million." And the investment here cannot be reduced without more than 100 million, plus the funding gap required for our urban renovation work, or it will reach more than 100 million. ”

"Then how do you engage in construction?!" Jiang Feng asked again.

"This is one of the main purposes for me to come to Xiaofeng." Wan Changling said to Jiang Feng with a smile, "Xiaofeng, I know that you are a rich man, with such a billion funds, you must not have any big problems, right?" ”

After listening to Wan Changling's thoughts, Jiang Feng thought for a while, and said: "There is no problem for me to invest in the establishment of this household appliance and agricultural materials trading market, after all, this is a good investment, after completion, it is to collect rent, and it is also an investment with stable returns." ”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Feng continued to care about the urban planning map, and after careful study, he suddenly found that the urban construction model of Shicheng was different from the current general urban transformation.

If the general urban renovation is to renovate on the old site, then the urban construction of Shicheng is basically a new project. Of course, this is also related to the current situation of Shicheng, the current Shicheng city area is biased to the west, but further west there is not much room for development, continuous mountains block the way, the east and north are large wasteland, and there is no development, the main direction of expansion on this planning map is the east, the urban area has been doubled.

Generally speaking, new construction of course costs more money than renovation, renovation is to mend the seams, while new construction is to invest a lot of money to start from scratch. Jiang Feng was a little stunned when he saw this plan, especially when he saw that the main roads in the urban area were actually two-way six-lane high standards, he was even more surprised, but he also admired the forward-looking leadership of Shicheng.

In another time and space, Jiang Feng knew that the development of Shicheng District at that time had suffered enough from the unreasonable development of the city. At that time, the leaders did not expect that Shicheng would develop so quickly in the future, which made the traffic in Shicheng's later cities extremely congested and the urban environment relatively poor. This is also because there are not many industrial enterprises in Stone City.

"There's such a big piece of open space in the northeast, haven't you thought about developing it?" Jiang Feng noticed that there was a large open space in the northwest of Stone City, so he asked.

The area of this place is about 30 to 40 square kilometers, and it is about 10 kilometers away from the city. Although there is a large mountain blocking it from the current urban area, as long as a few tunnels are opened under that mountain, the two places can be completely connected. However, although the terrain is relatively flat, it has not been developed, so Jiang Feng is very curious.

"Here......" Wan Changling looked at this piece of land and groaned a little, "This is the best piece of land in our Stone City!" But I have the idea to make this a big airport. ”

Jiang Feng was a little shocked.

Although, according to Jiang Feng's memory, in another time and space, it was indeed built as an airport in the end, but that was ten years later, not the present at the beginning of the 21st century.

Moreover, in Jiang Feng's memory, Shicheng Airport at that time was just a small airport, covering an area of only a few square kilometers, rather than a large airport covering an area of up to thirty or forty square kilometers in the current Wan Changling Plan.

It takes a lot of money to build an airport, and the hardware qualification of this thing may not be complicated, but the most expensive thing is the money, and it can be said that inch by inch of the site is piled up with banknotes.

With the development of the domestic economy and the deepening of the degree of opening to the outside world, the existing major airports have basically been in overload operation, and the major airports basically have plans to build new airports, but they have not been put into action, not for anything else, because the investment is really large.

Take the construction of Hong Kong International Airport as an example, you can see how expensive airport construction is.

Before 1988, Hong Kong's only civil aviation airport was Hong Kong's Kai Tak International Airport in Kowloon City.

By the 90s, Kai Tak Airport was far more saturated than it was, and although the British government had completed a study on the site selection and planning of the new airport, the plan was never implemented due to the high cost of the new airport.

In 1989, in his Policy Address read out by the Legislative Council, Governor Wilson announced the construction of a new airport and related supporting facilities, which later became known as the Hong Kong Airport Core Plan, known as the Rose Garden Project.

As the new airport is expensive to build, and the borrowing required for the project will inevitably span 1997, the year of Hong Kong's handover. China has repeatedly criticized the new airport project as a financial burden on the Hong Kong SAR government. Subsequently, through the UK-China Joint Liaison Group, the two countries negotiated the financial arrangements for the new airport.

It was not until September 1991 that the United Kingdom and China signed a Memorandum of Understanding on the Construction of the New Hong Kong Airport and Related Issues. The MoU mainly states that the British Government of Hong Kong will be responsible for the construction and completion of the core airport plan to the maximum extent possible during its management period, leaving a reserve of not less than HK$25 billion for the future HKSAR Government. The Chinese Government supported the construction of the new airport, took a positive attitude towards the borrowing of the British Government in Hong Kong, which had to be repaid after 30 June 97, and agreed that the Bank of China should play an appropriate role. China and the UK have set up an Airport Committee led by the UK-China Joint Liaison Group, while the British Government has set up the Airport Authority Hong Kong and the Advisory Committee.

Construction of the new airport commenced in 1992 and covers an area of 12.5 square kilometres on an artificial island north of Lantau Island. It is expected to take six years to complete, and together with other connected infrastructure, it is estimated to cost about $9 billion. (To be continued.) )
