Chapter 140 Shicheng Development Planning
Wan Changling said calmly: "Xiaofeng, you can see something first."
As he said that, Wan Changling took out a folded drawing from his bag and slowly displayed it in front of Jiang Feng.
"Xiaofeng, take a look. This is the Shicheng District Development Plan made by our Shicheng District Committee and District Government after comprehensive opinions and suggestions from all aspects. After sufficient demonstration, it was made." Because the drawing was relatively large and could not be suffocated on the desk, Wan Changling spread the drawings on the floor of the office and then said to Jiang Feng.
When Jiang Feng heard this, he walked up and took a closer look at the city planning map taken out by Wan Changling.
The entire drawing is made with computer spray paintings. Some more important places and detailed descriptions are also made. Various functional areas are separated by different colors. The streets are connected vertically and cross-sectional, and key construction projects are clearly marked.
The most commendable thing is that a drawing is compatible with the current layout of Shicheng District. As well as the urban planning in the next three years, it looks clear at a glance and does not require too much effort.
"According to your drawings, the city size of Shicheng District will be expanded by more than two or three times, and with marginalized corporate buildings, it may be more than five or six times. Uncle Wan, I would like to ask, is there so much funds in Shicheng District to support these construction projects? You must know that relying on the funding of superiors is impossible, this is not a small amount. Uncle Wan, it is even more impossible for you to ask your nephew for help. You are not a banker either." Jiang Feng said.
Although Jiang Feng is rich now, even after he acquired Manchester United Club and Xiaomi Group, he still has at least $6 billion in funds left, which is as high as 50 billion yuan. However, he cannot invest all of those funds in the infrastructure of Shicheng. First, the profitability of this investment is too slow. Jiang Feng is still in the period of fund accumulation, so he does not want to make such low-return investments; secondly, he has already had an investment plan and does not want to ruin the plan he set first.
Wan Changling naturally didn't know that Jiang Feng had an astronomical fund of billions of dollars overseas. He smiled and said, "Xiaofeng, of course I know this. I didn't say that I wanted you to invest alone. That was impossible, because the funds needed would be tens of billions. No matter how rich you have, you can't support it alone. However, if a company wants strength, resources, and technology, it is indeed difficult to obtain development funds! So we should also talk about the problem of the collective market in our Shicheng. This is an important source of wealth for the district finance to obtain stable income in the next few years."
Wan Changling walked to the plan map and pointed to the large area of land on the side of the plan map of the entire Shicheng District and said: "Because our Shicheng is located at the junction of Jiangzhou City, Jingbei Province, Chunan Province and Qiannan Province. Although it is a mountainous and hilly area, it has inherent advantages in developing logistics. Our Shicheng District Committee and District Government also planned this way. Here, we will build a market for hardware, electrical and chemicals, non-foods, clothing, building materials, home decoration, and professional-level home appliances and agricultural supplies trading. Once built, all kinds of things everyone needs can be found here. As for its market size, we expect it to be the largest in the entire Jiangzhou City and even the southwest region of the country."
Jiangzhou City and even the largest comprehensive market in the southwest region, how big should it be? Jiang Feng immediately estimated the scope of that area, which was about six or seven square kilometers. How much money would it take to build such a large area?
When Jiang Feng heard this and saw it, he understood a little. It seems that Wan Changling’s idea was to ask himself 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 100 million or 200 million. The investment here cannot be reduced without more than 100 million. In addition, the funding gap required for our urban renovation work may reach more than 100 million."
"Then how do you do 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 you are a rich man. You must have no big problems with such a billion dollars, right?"
After hearing Wan Changling say his thoughts, Jiang Feng thought about it for a while and said, "There is no problem for me to invest in the establishment of this home appliance and agricultural supplies trading market. After all, this is a good investment. After completion, it will collect rent and it will also be an investment with stable returns."
After saying that, Jiang Feng continued to care about the urban planning map. After careful study, he suddenly discovered that the urban construction model of Shicheng is different from the current general urban transformation.
If general urban renovation is renovated on the old site, then Shicheng urban construction is basically mostly new projects. Of course, this is also related to the current situation of Shicheng. The Shicheng District is now in the west, but there is not much room for development further west. The continuous mountains block the way, and the east and north are large wastelands, which have not yet been developed. The main expansion direction in this planning map is the east, which doubles the urban area.
Generally speaking, new construction costs more than renovation. Renovation is to repair and repair, while new construction requires a lot of money to invest in and start from scratch. Jiang Feng was a little surprised when he saw this plan, especially when he saw that the main lines in the city were actually high standards of six lanes in both directions. However, he also admired the foresight of the Shicheng leadership.
In another time and space, Jiang Feng knew that the development of Shicheng District at that time had suffered enough losses from unreasonable urban development. The leaders at that time did not expect that Shicheng would develop so quickly in the future, which made Shicheng's later urban transportation extremely congested and the urban environment was relatively poor. This was because Shicheng did not have too many industrial enterprises.
"There is such a large open space in the northeast, have you never considered the development?" Jiang Feng noticed that there was a large open space in the northwest of Shicheng, so he asked.
The area of this place is about 30 to 40 square kilometers, and is about ten kilometers away from the urban area. Although it is blocked by a mountain from the current urban area, as long as a few tunnels are opened at the foot of the mountain, the two places can be fully 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 area and pondered, "This is the best area in our stone city! But I have the idea to build this place into a large airport."
Jiang Feng was a little shocked.
Although, according to Jiang Feng's memory, in another time and space, the airport was indeed finally built, but it happened ten years later, not in the early 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 the large airport with an area of up to thirty or forty square kilometers in the current plan of Wanchang-nian.
Building an airport requires a lot of money. The hardware qualifications of this thing may not be very complicated, but the most expensive thing is funds. It can be said that every inch of the venue is piled up with money.
The existing airports in China are basically old airports, with low throughput capacity and limited passenger flow. With the development of the domestic economy and the deepening of opening up to the outside world, the existing major airports are basically in overload operation. However, major airports basically have plans to build new airports, but they have not taken action. Nothing else, it is because the investment is really huge.
Take an example of the construction of Hong Kong International Airport, and you can see how expensive the airport construction is.
Before 1988, Hong Kong's only civil aviation airport was Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport located in Kowloon City. The old airport was located in the center of the city and was close to residential houses, causing great inconvenience to residents in Kowloon City for many years.
By the 1990s, the passenger flow at Kai Tak Airport had far exceeded the saturation. Although the Hong Kong and British government completed research on the site selection and planning of the new airport, the plan has not been implemented due to the high cost of the new airport.
In 19**, in the policy address read by the Legislative Council, Hong Kong Governor Wei Yixin announced the construction of a new airport and related supporting facilities, which was later the core plan of the Hong Kong Airport, which was called the Rose Garden Plan by the outside world.
Because the new airport is expensive, and the loan required for the project will inevitably cross 1997, the year when the sovereignty of Hong Kong was transferred. China has repeatedly criticized the new airport project for posing a financial burden on the Hong Kong SAR government. China and the UK then negotiated the financial arrangements for the new airport through the Sino-British joint liaison team.
It was not until September 1991 that the UK and China signed the "Memorandum of Understanding on the Construction of New Hong Kong Airport and Related Issues". The memorandum mainly stated that the Hong Kong and British governments were responsible for construction during their management period and completed the airport core plan to the greatest extent, leaving the future reserves of the SAR government of no less than HK$25 billion. The Chinese government supported the construction of the new airport and took a positive attitude towards the debts of the Hong Kong and British governments in the place that need to be repaid after June 30, 1997, and agreed to the Bank of China to play an appropriate role. China and Britain established an airport committee led by the Sino-British Joint Liaison Group, while the Hong Kong and British governments established the Hong Kong Airport Authority and Advisory Committee.
The construction of the new Hong Kong airport was officially started in 1992. It is located on an artificial island north of Lantau Island, with an area of 12.5 square kilometers. It is expected to take six years to complete. Together with other connected infrastructure facilities, the estimated cost is about US$9 billion. (To be continued.
