Chapter 141 Shicheng wants to build an airport
You should know that the current domestic economic situation is not enough to support the construction of a large airport. Even the famous Mingzhu Hedong Airport only started construction after October 1997. It took two years to complete the first phase of the project, which cost about 12 billion yuan.
The airport of Jiangzhou City, the superior administrative unit in Shicheng District, is still just a medium-sized airport. Although the second phase project is being expanded, its scale is still far less than that of the Shicheng Airport in the Wanchangling Plan. Even after the third phase project is expanded four years later, it still cannot catch up with the Shicheng Airport. Perhaps, only after completing the fifth phase project of Jiangzhou Jiangbei International Airport, which Jiangfeng has never seen before, can it be compared with the Shicheng Airport in Wanchangling Plan.
From all the above, we can see that at least at present, there is no plan to build a large airport in China. One reason is that the current demand can still be met, and the other reason is that everyone is still too short of money, with a budget of tens of billions of yuan. Even if it is placed in an international metropolis like Mingzhu, it seems to be very large, not to mention a remote area under Jiangzhou City, which has just started, which is just starting out.
"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 building an airport in that place does not require as much investment as the Hong Kong International Airport, because the terrain is flat and the construction is much less difficult. However, the Hong Kong International Airport is built on an artificial island formed by several small islands through land reclamation, such a project is naturally more expensive. Considering that the prices in the mainland are much lower than those in Hong Kong, this is not something that can be completed by hundreds of millions of dollars or even billions of dollars, at least tens of billions of dollars.
This is not something that a Shicheng District government can bear at all.
Even if Shicheng District can bear such a cost, it is completely unnecessary. Because Shicheng is just a small and medium-sized city located in a mountainous area, and the entire district and the agricultural population are only 500,000. Even if it is added to the surrounding counties, or even some counties in the adjacent three provinces, the population within a range of 200 kilometers is only 10 or 20 million, and it is all impoverished. Building such a large-scale airport is a waste of resources.
"Xiaofeng, this is the second reason why I came to you." Wan Changling said.
"Uncle Wan, are you right?" Jiang Feng shouted, "Didn't you just say that no matter how rich I have, I can't have so much money to invest. You know, the cost of this airport plan is not inferior to the urban reconstruction plan you have done."
"Of course we know this. However, the city of Rome was not built in one day, and we didn't think about getting it done in one step." Wan Changling smiled embarrassedly and said, "Xiaofeng, our plan is like this, dividing the construction of the airport into three steps. First, we will build this airport according to the scale of a small airport. That is, we will build a 2,800-meter runway and an equal taxiway, 60 meters wide, which can meet the take-off and landing of Boeing 777 and Boeing 747 aircraft. The apron is about 230,000 square meters, with 31 various types of flights and a terminal area of 16,000 square meters. The first phase of the project is an annual passenger throughput of 1 million people/times and 800 people/times at peak times. The area of these projects covers about five square kilometers. As for other places, they are just reserved and will be expanded in the future depending on the situation." Wan Changling said.
"So that's how it is!" Jiang Feng said.
If we build a small and medium-sized airport according to the scale mentioned by Wan Changling, the investment will not be too large. With more than one billion yuan, it will basically be completed. Such a plan is feasible.
Moreover, if only one such small and medium-sized airport was built, Jiang Feng would agree, because it would greatly improve the current traffic conditions in Shicheng. At least, it would be much more convenient for him to go outside.
In addition, the construction of this airport has great significance to the development of Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group and Jiang's Group.
The products of Jiangshi Group and Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group can be transported and exported through road and railways, but the number of personnel exchanges will be very inconvenient if there is no air traffic. In fact, now, there is no disadvantage of air traffic, which has begun to affect Jiangshi Group and Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group.
"Xiaofeng, I say this, it's not a big problem for you, right?" Wan Changling said with some conspiracy when he saw Jiang Feng's change in his expression.
"Uncle Wan, I am very willing to invest in building such an airport because it is of great help to my business. Even if I have enough funds, I am willing to build a super-large airport. However, I think it is still impossible for me to build such an airport that I owned. The government will not allow it, right?" Jiang Feng said.
Although the government has relaxed control in many areas over the years with the deepening of reform and opening up, there is no precedent for privately owned airport building in the country. Such things are also very difficult to operate.
After listening to Jiang Feng's words, Wan Changling pondered, which was indeed a very annoying question.
"Uncle Wan, I have a suggestion." Jiang Feng said when he saw that Wan Changling didn't say anything.
"Xiaofeng, please tell me." Wan Changling's eyes lit up when he heard Jiang Feng have an idea.
"Uncle Wan, you know that my Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group was established in cooperation with the military and produced military products, even military aircraft. Shicheng has no airport now, which is obviously not possible. In fact, before that, the military had the idea of building a military airport in Shicheng, but it had not been implemented yet. Now, the district government also has plans to build an airport. I think it is better to combine the two, and jointly invested by my Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group, the Jiang Group, the military and the Shicheng District Government to build a dual-purpose airport for military and civilians. Wouldn't this kill more than one shot?" Jiang Feng said.
Wan Changling's expression moved, but then he said a little disgusted: "Xiaofeng, although your suggestions are good, the airport that your Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group needs to build must have extremely high confidentiality requirements. I am afraid that it will not be possible to build a dual-purpose airport for military and civilians."
Jiang Feng pointed to the map and said to Wan Changling: "Uncle Wan, haven't you seen that there is a hill one or two hundred meters high and about two kilometers long in the middle of this place? This is a natural barrier that can completely separate the military and civilian parts of the airport."
Wan Changling looked along the point where Jiang Feng pointed, and his eyes immediately lit up.
"Yes, there is indeed such a mountain here. Originally, I was still thinking that in the process of building the airport, it was a huge project to knock down this mountain. I didn't expect that after you said that the existence of this mountain was an innate advantage." Wan Changling said.
Jiang Feng smiled and continued: "Build a dual-purpose airport for military and civilians. Because it involves the military, we can completely let the military dispatch engineer 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 projects that appear in various construction projects are emerging one after another. However, no matter what, military construction projects 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 there was an engineering barracks among the garrison in Shicheng. In recent years, this engineering barracks have not received too many construction tasks and their treatment has been not very good. If Jiang Feng told this matter to the garrison leader, his future father-in-law Gong Xinglong, he would probably jump up happily.
In any case, the funds used to build this airport will exceed one billion yuan. If they are built by their troops, they will be able to obtain a large amount of funds, which will have a huge effect on improving the economic situation of their troops.
"Xiaofeng, you have a good idea!" Wan Changling said.
"Uncle Wan, then we'll make the decision for the time being. You can discuss it with other leaders of the district party committee and government, and then send a construction report to the relevant departments." Jiang Feng said.
"Okay, that's it. I'll call everyone to meet and discuss this plan right away. Time is endless! Now is an excellent opportunity for our Shicheng to develop, and we must seize the time." Wan Changling said.
Jiang Feng nodded. He knew very well that what Wan Changling said was not enough, but in fact it was for him. He had been in the position of Secretary of the Shicheng District Party Committee for more than a year. Although Shicheng's various construction has made significant progress in the past year and economic growth has always been among the top three in Jiangzhou City, he has not done a major project that is enough to enter the eyes of Jiangzhou City leaders.
However, once the construction plan of this airport is passed, he will have a major project that can reach 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 Jiangzhou City leaders have basically only worked for about half a year to a year in office. When the project is completed, it will be time for the medium-term adjustment. At that time, they will be able to take this opportunity to gain more political benefits.
Jiang Feng believes that this airport project will definitely be passed quickly with such benefits.
No one has any reason to reject this project. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation.)
