You must know that the current economic situation in China is not enough to support the construction of a large airport, even the famous Pearl Hedong Airport, which only started construction after October 1997, and it took two years to complete the first phase of the project, costing about 12 billion yuan.

Jiangzhou City, the higher-level administrative unit of Shicheng District, has only a medium-sized airport until now. Although the second phase of the expansion project is currently underway, its scale is still far less than that of the Shicheng Airport in the Wan Changling plan. Even after the third phase of the expansion project began four years later, it still could not catch up with this Shicheng Airport. Perhaps, only after the completion of the fifth phase of the Jiangbei International Airport project in Jiangzhou City, which Jiang Feng has not seen, can it be compared with the Shicheng Airport planned by Wan Changling.

From all of the above, it can be seen that at least for now, there are no plans to build large airports in China. One is because the current needs can still be dealt with, and the other is because everyone is still too short of money, and the budget of tens of billions of yuan is very much, even if it is placed in an international metropolis like Mingzhu, it seems to be very much, not to mention a remote area under Jiangzhou City, which has just started like Shicheng.

"Uncle Wan, your idea is too advanced." Jiang Feng smiled bitterly.

Wan Changling smiled embarrassedly, of course he could hear that Jiang Feng was indirectly saying that he was too unrealistic.

Although the airport was built in that area, it did not require as much investment as the Hong Kong International Airport, because the terrain there was flat and the construction was much less difficult. The Hong Kong International Airport is built on an artificial island formed by the reclamation of land from several small islands, which is naturally more expensive. Considering that prices in the mainland are much lower than those in Hong Kong, this is not something that can be accomplished by hundreds of millions or even billions of funds, at least tens of billions of dollars.

This is simply something that a Shicheng district government can afford.

Even if Shicheng District can afford such an expense, it is completely unnecessary. Because. After all, Shicheng is only a small and medium-sized city located in the mountainous area, and the population of the whole area plus agriculture is only 500,000. Even if you add a few surrounding counties, and even some counties in the three neighboring provinces, the population within 200 kilometers of the surrounding area is only 10 or 20 million, and all of them are poor areas. The construction of such a large-scale airport is a complete waste of resources.

"Xiaofeng, that's the second reason why I'm looking for you." Wan Changling said.

"Uncle Wan, you're not mistaken, are you?" Jiang Feng shouted, "Didn't you say it just now?" No matter how rich I am, I can't have so much money to invest. You know, the cost of this airport project is not inferior to the urban renewal plan that you are engaged in. ”

"Well, of course we do. However, the city of Rome was not built in a day, and we did not think of doing it in one step. Wan Changling smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Xiaofeng." Our plan is to divide the construction of the airport into three steps. First of all, we built the airport on the scale of a small airport. That is, the construction of a 2,800-meter-long runway and an equal taxiway. It is 60 meters wide and can meet the take-off and landing of Boeing 777 and Boeing 747 aircraft. The apron is about 230,000 square meters, with 31 stands of various types and a terminal area of 16,000 square meters. The first phase of the project will handle 1 million passengers per year. Peak time: 800 people/time design. The area of these projects is about five square kilometers. As for the rest of the place, it's just reserved. Expansion will be carried out in the future depending on the situation. Wan Changling said.

"I see!" Jiang Feng said.

If the scale mentioned by Wan Changling is to build a small and medium-sized airport, the investment is not too large, and it can basically be built with more than one billion yuan. Such a plan is feasible.

Moreover, if only one such small and medium-sized airport is built, Jiang Feng is also more in favor of it, because it will greatly improve the current traffic situation in Shicheng. At the very least, it would be much easier for him to go outside.

In addition, the construction of this airport is of great significance to the development of Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group and Jiangshi Group.

The products of Jiangshi Group and Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group can be transported by road and railway, but the exchange of personnel will be very inconvenient if there is no air traffic. In fact, even now, there is no disadvantage of air traffic, which has begun to affect the Jiang Group and Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group.

"Xiaofeng, when I say this, it's not a big problem for you, right?" Wan Changling saw the change in Jiang Feng's expression, and said with some conspiracy.

"Uncle Wan, I am very willing to invest in the construction of such an airport, because it will be of great help to my business. Even, if I had enough money, I would be willing to build a very large airport. However, I think it is impossible for me to build such an airport as a sole proprietor. The government won't allow it, right? Jiang Feng said.

Although in recent years, with the deepening of reform and opening up, the government has loosened control in many fields, but in the country, there is no precedent for the construction of an airport by private ownership. It's very difficult to do this kind of thing.

Listening to Jiang Feng's words, Wan Changling groaned, this is indeed a very annoying question.

"Uncle Wan, I have a suggestion." Jiang Feng saw that Wan Changling didn't speak, so he said.

"Xiaofeng, please speak." Wan Changling's eyes lit up when he heard Jiang Feng's thoughts, and he said.

"Uncle Wan, you know, my Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group was established in cooperation with the military, and it also produces military products, including military aircraft. And Stone City now has no airport, which is obviously not possible. In fact, before this, the military had the idea of building a military airfield in Stone City, but it had not yet had time to implement it. Now, the district government also has plans to build an airport, and in my opinion, it is better to combine the two together, and the Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group and Jiangshi Group, the military, and the Shicheng District Government will jointly invest in the construction of a dual-use airport. Wouldn't that be a good deal? Jiang Feng said.

Wan Changling's expression moved, but then he said with some discouragement: "Xiaofeng, although your suggestion is good, the airport that your Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group needs to build must have extremely high confidentiality requirements." I'm afraid that the construction of a dual-use airport will not be passable. ”

Jiang Feng pointed to the map and said to Wan Changling: "Uncle Wan, haven't you seen that in the middle of this place, there is a hill one or two hundred meters high and about two kilometers long?" This is a natural barrier that separates the military and civilian parts of the airport. ”

Wan Changling looked at the place pointed by Jiang Feng, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"Yes, there is such a mountain. Originally, I was still thinking that in the process of building the airport, the demolition of this mountain is a huge project, but I didn't expect that after you said this, the existence of this mountain is an innate advantage. Wan Changling said.

Jiang Feng smiled and continued: "To build a dual-use airport, because the military is involved, we can completely let the military send engineering troops to build this airport." In this way, it can not only ensure the quality of airport construction, but also greatly reduce the cost of airport construction. ”

Now, with the development of the economy, the tofu scum projects that appear in various construction projects are emerging in an endless stream, but in any case, the projects built by the army have always been synonymous with quality assurance.

Jiang Feng, who knew the situation of the garrison in Shicheng, knew that this was very operational, because in the garrison of Shicheng, there was an engineering battalion. Over the years, this engineering battalion has not received too many construction tasks, and the treatment has not been very good. If Jiang Feng told the leader of the garrison, Gong Xinglong, who was his future father-in-law, about this, he would probably jump for joy.

In any case, the construction of this airport will cost more than one billion yuan. If it were to be built by their troops, they would be able to get a large amount of money, which would have a huge effect on improving the economic situation of their troops.

"Xiaofeng, you have a good idea!" Wan Changling said.

"Uncle Wan, then let's make up our minds for the time being, you discuss it with other leaders of the district committee and district government, and then make a construction report to the relevant departments." Jiang Feng said.

"Okay, that's it, I'll go and call a meeting to discuss this plan. Time is running out! Now is a great opportunity for our Stone City to develop, and we must hurry up. Wan Changling said.

Jiang Feng nodded. He knew very well that what Wan Changling said was actually aimed at himself. He has been in the position of secretary of the Shicheng District Party Committee for more than a year. Although in the past year or so, major progress has been made in the construction of Shicheng, and the economic growth has always been in the top three in the entire Jiangzhou City, but he has not completed a big project that is enough to enter the eyes of the leaders of Jiangzhou City.

However, once the construction plan of this airport is approved, he has the big project that can enter the eyes of the city leaders. Because, this is not only a political achievement project for him, but also a huge political achievement project for the leaders of the entire Jiangzhou City.

If a medium-sized airport is built, it will take about two years from the start of construction to the completion of the project. The current leaders of Jiangzhou City have basically only been in office for half a year to about a year. When this project is completed, it is time for mid-term adjustment. At that time, they will be able to take this opportunity to seek more political benefits.

With so many benefits, Jiang Feng believes that this airport project will definitely be approved soon.

There's no reason to turn down this project. (To be continued.) )
