Chapter 52 Panshi Wants to Build a Big Airport! "Ask for Monthly Ticket Support"

Building an airport requires a lot of money. The hardware qualifications of this thing may not need to be so complicated, but the most expensive thing is money. It can be said that every inch of the site is piled up with banknotes.

The existing domestic airports are basically old airports with low throughput capacity and limited passenger flow. With the development of the domestic economy and the deepening of opening to the outside world, the existing major airports are basically in a super state. During the load operation, all major airports basically have plans to build new airports, but they have not put them into action, not for anything else, but because the investment is really huge.

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

Before 1988, the only civil aviation airport in Hong Kong was the Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport located in Kowloon City. The old airport was located in the center of the urban area, close to residential areas, which caused great inconvenience to the residents of Kowloon City for many years.

The passenger flow of Kai Tak Airport has far exceeded its saturation capacity. Although the British Hong Kong government has completed a study 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. Three years ago, in the policy address read by the Legislative Council, Hong Kong Governor David Wilson announced the construction of a new airport and related supporting facilities, which later became the Hong Kong Airport Core Project, known as the Rose Garden Project by the outside world.

As the new airport is expensive to build, and the borrowing required for the project will inevitably span 1997, the year when Hong Kong's sovereignty was handed over. The Chinese side has repeatedly criticized that the new airport project will impose a financial burden on the Hong Kong SAR government. China and the UK then negotiated the financial arrangements for the new airport site through the Sino-British Joint Liaison Group.

Until last year, the UK and China signed the Memorandum of Understanding on the Construction of Hong Kong's New Airport and Related Issues. The memorandum mainly states that the British Hong Kong government is responsible for the construction and completion of the airport core project to the greatest extent during its management period, leaving no less than 25 billion Hong Kong dollars in reserves for the future SAR government. The Chinese government supports the construction of the new airport, adopts a positive attitude towards the repayment of the Hong Kong government's debts after June 30, 1997, and agrees that the Bank of China will play an appropriate role. The UK and China set up an airport committee led by the Sino-British Joint Liaison Group, while the British Hong Kong government established the Hong Kong Airport Authority and Advisory Committee.

The construction of Hong Kong's new airport officially started this year. It is located on an artificial island north of Lantau Island, covering an area of ​​12.5 square kilometers. It is expected to take six years to complete and, together with other associated infrastructure, is estimated to cost about $9 billion.

Because this incident happened this year, and the media attention rate has been very high, everyone knows about this incident. When Fan Heng mentioned that Panshi intends to build a large airport, most people thought that Mayor Fan was a little I'm crazy.

Yes, you made some money by buying land, and you can also raise some funds through foreign capital, but at best it can only be maintained at the level of several hundred million. If more, what will be used to finance it? Selling all the rocks, I'm afraid I can't get so much money, right?

You must know that the current domestic economic situation is not enough to support the construction of a large airport. Even the famous Shanghai Pudong Airport started construction after October 1997. It took two years to complete the first phase of the project. , costing about 12 billion RMB.

It can be seen from the above that, at least at present, there is no plan to build a large airport in China. One is because the current demand can still be met in advance, and the other is because everyone is still too short of money, with a budget of tens of billions of RMB, even if it is placed in an international metropolis like Shanghai. There are also a lot of them, let alone a small prefecture-level city like Panshi, which has just started.

"Comrade Fan Heng, your idea is too unrealistic!" A member of the inspection team pointed out very rudely,

"If it is to build an ordinary airport, Longcheng has one, which can accept the take-off and landing of small and medium-sized passenger planes. It can already meet the shipping needs of the province, and there is no need to repeat the construction. If it is a large-scale airport, even if it is our domestic construction cost Inexpensive. According to the current market conditions, it will definitely not be less than 5 billion yuan. With such a large demand for funds, can Panshi come up with it? Even if it is financing, no one may be willing to invest here, right? "

Although this person's words are blunt, it is also the actual situation. If it is to build a new airport in Shanghai and Guangzhou, there will definitely not be too few people who want to invest, but building an airport in a place like Panshi will probably only be cited as laughing stock.

"There is no need to worry about the money issue." Fan Heng said something that made everyone feel ashamed.

"Comrade, that is a capital investment of billions or tens of billions! Not hundreds of thousands or millions!" A leader couldn't help reminding.

Fan Heng had to reiterate again, "The problem of funding is not a problem. We don't need a penny from the state. The main problem now is whether this project can be approved. If the central government agrees to our idea, the funds will be available immediately! "

After hearing Fan Heng's words, everyone couldn't take it lightly.

Of course, it is impossible for Fan Heng to be able to say such things on this occasion. It is impossible to be irresponsible, so everyone has a common feeling that it is not a problem whether Fan Heng can be promoted this time. Success, that political achievement is stronger than anything else!

It doesn't cost the central government a penny to build a large-scale airport project entirely by Panshi's own strength. This sounds like a fantasy, but Fan Heng's appearance has changed Panshi drastically within a year. Especially in the hands of the mayor, or it is possible.

In this way, the original investigation of Fan Heng could not be carried out. Such an episode occurred, and now everyone's thoughts are flying to the Panshi Airport, which has not yet written a word.

In particular, these bigwigs in Wangtian Province gathered together to exchange opinions to see if this matter is feasible, how big it is, and whether it can be approved by the central government. Will it have a positive impact on the economy of Wangtian Province?

Among the bigwigs, Ma Rulong, the governor of the province, felt a little regretful, but now he is about to be promoted to the central government. Even if the things on Panshi's side are implemented, it is not a matter of a day or two, but it has nothing to do with his political achievements.

But Niu Manzhuang and Xiong Ma are different. This is a big project during their administration. Regardless of whether the province can afford the money or not, the airport will be built in Wangtian territory. in the province. Only Wangtian Province has a large international airport. In this way, Wangtian Province's economic and political influence will rise in a straight line.

And the one who benefited the most is Lin Hao, who is about to take over as the governor of the province. It will take more than two years from the beginning to the first phase of the project to be put into use. It happens to be in his hands. A real performance project. Fan Heng was not the only one who benefited.

As a result, everyone's thoughts were stirred. Even Ma Rulong wanted to settle the matter before resigning. At that time, he would be considered to have played a certain role, and it was better than watching others feel proud.

The few members of Wangtian researched it, discussed it with the members of the inspection team of the Organization Department of the Central Committee, and decided to report this matter to the above to see what the central government's attitude is, and whether Fan Heng will stay in Panshi or not. According to the original plan, the provincial party committee was raised. It also needs to be considered by the higher authorities and give a clear instruction.

"Comrade Fan Heng, we don't have any opinions on urban planning. Since the Panshi Municipal Government has the ability to carry out construction, the cities in our province will strongly support it. Although the funds may not be able to be tilted, they can be compensated accordingly in terms of policies. Some." In the end, Secretary Niu Manzhuang expressed his opinion to Fan Heng on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee, "As for the airport, we will try our best to negotiate with the central government and strive to win this project, which will be beneficial to the economic development of our Wangtian Province. It also has a great impact on establishing our province's prominent position among surrounding provinces!"

Ma Rulong also added, "Comrade Fan Heng, you go back to the hotel to rest first, and think carefully about the airport. It is best to have a clearer plan, a more feasible plan, especially regarding funds. "

Finally, Lin Hao said, "Use my car to take you back."

Lin Hao personally accompanied Fan Heng into the car, and went straight to Fengyun Hotel. In the car, Lin Hao said with a smile, "Why did you suddenly release such a large satellite? It made everyone a little bit at a loss!"

"Isn't this all the idea of ​​the little devil in my family? He said that the effect can only be achieved by surprise. If I brought up this matter in normal times, it would take more than half a year just to discuss it, let alone when it will be possible." Report to the central government and wait for approval!" Fan Heng replied with a wry smile.

"It's amazing that your family is disease-free. Did the money come from him in the end?" Lin Hao knew a little about Fan Wubing through his son-in-law Wang Xiaoshan and the three Wang brothers, so he asked Fan Heng asked for proof.

Because Fan Heng seemed too determined just now, and didn't care about the billions of dollars at all, Lin Hao guessed that this matter must have something to do with Fan Wubing, otherwise Fan Heng would not be so confident. No one dared to say such a big word on anyone, especially when facing so many leaders and reviewing his own promotion.

"That's natural, but what kind of project to invest in, he said that he still has to wait for the above-mentioned meaning to be finalized. After all, such a large-scale project takes a long time to invest and the time to return the funds is longer. To a large extent, he is considered Investing in public welfare undertakings." Fan Heng admitted this, and there is no need for him to talk about Lin Hao, an elder and leader.

"I guess there is no problem with this matter, and it will be approved soon, so you should mobilize your family to be free of illness, and prepare the money quickly." Lin Hao said to Fan Heng with a smile.

"It won't be so easy, right? It will take a while just to establish a project, and there are other arguments, the overall design and so on. Although Fan Wubing plans to find a foreign designer to do it, it still needs to be approved by the higher authorities. This is very time-consuming. Time." Fan Heng also studied this issue seriously, so he said to Lin Hao.

"That's a general situation. Panshi is not an ordinary place, so I estimate that the higher-ups will agree to this project soon, and will give the initiative to Panshi. At most, they will send an advisory group or something to give specific guidance." Lin Hao said.

After the two of them talked, they arrived at Fengyun Hotel, and Lin Hao had to go back to discuss issues with other leaders. He didn't come up, Fan Heng went back to the guest room alone, and saw Fan Wubing sleeping like a dead pig.

"Oh, wake up----" Fan Heng shook his son awake.

"What's the matter?" Fan Wubing opened one eye, and saw his father Fan Heng sitting on the ground in front of him.

"When will your funds be in place? Maybe the matter of the airport will be approved in a short time." Fan Heng said to his son.

"Oh, this matter----" Fan Wubing said with his eyes closed, "there is money. However, most of them are US dollars, and there are not many renminbi. You can get it at any time, so you don't have to worry about it." , let me sleep for a while, please?"

In fact, before Fan Wubing was reborn, Panshi once had an opportunity to build an airport. Unfortunately, the leadership of the city government at that time felt that the construction of the airport would affect their income from land sales, so they pushed the project to other cities. Seeing others relying on the airport to vigorously develop the tourism economy, I am extremely jealous. There is no other way.

The location of Panshi is exactly where the five surrounding provinces and cities meet. The transportation is convenient and extends in all directions. There is a prerequisite for building a large airport here. Freight and passenger transportation are both cheap, and there are several expressways connecting the traffic in all directions. , it would be even more perfect.

That's why Fan Wubing asked that the road construction in Panshi City must be two-way and six-lane, because he considered the future development direction, and it must not be because he couldn't think about it at the beginning. affect the later development of the city.

Based on the above considerations, Fan Wubing never thought that his proposal would be rejected by the central government from the very beginning. The reason why the new airports have not been built in various places is not because there is no need for them. It's because of lack of money. Now that someone on the Panshi side is willing to pay for the construction of the airport, the higher authorities are naturally optimistic.

"What does it matter if you sleep less? Let's talk about the business first before going to bed!" Fan Heng continued to shake his son.

"What's the business? Didn't I agree to pay the money?" Fan Wubing replied in a daze.

"It's not that. It's about the general size of the airport. If the higher-ups ask, I can't ask three questions, right?" Fan Heng said.

Fan Heng’s question is also in line with the reality. How large is the airport that Panshi wants to build, what is the level of infrastructure and supporting facilities, and what kind of aircraft can take off and land. How much passenger and cargo traffic can be provided each year. How many sorties the aircraft can take off and land, these design parameters are required.

Although these problems are at the time of construction. It was considered by experts, but as the mayor of a city and the person who put forward the airport construction plan, it is impossible for Fan Heng not to know something, otherwise how would he deal with the leaders' questions?

Fan Wubing thought for a while and said, "Well, this is also easy to handle. You can find out the construction plan of Hong Kong International Airport. We will roughly follow that design plan. The specific runway standard should be set higher. As long as the passenger terminal conforms to the domestic reality, it does not need to be positioned too high like Hong Kong. We will come up with a plan first, and then we will work on it slowly. Anyway, it is just to deal with the leaders, and they will not stay in Panshi all day. .”

"Is that okay?" Fan Heng asked suspiciously.

"What else? We are not experts, we only need to pay for it. The design needs to be done by a master. It will cost a lot of money. Only after the project is approved can we officially start working on it." Land." Fan Wu replied logically.

Inspired by his son, Fan Heng ran to look for the planning map of Hong Kong International Airport, but Wangtian really didn't have anyone who knew about it, so he pulled Fan Wubing up again and asked him to think of a way.

Fan Wubing thought that he seemed to have a contact point in Hong Kong, so he sent instructions there, asking them to make a planning map of Hong Kong International Airport and relevant data.

The action over there was quick, and it didn’t take long to go to the field to find the plan. This is not a secret, so there are all on the airport construction site. After they took a copy, they sent it directly with a fax machine, and finally After Fan Wubing received it, he took a look at it comprehensively, combined with the characteristics of the Panshi terrain, made a copy of the Hong Kong International Airport Panshi version, and handed it over to Fan Heng.

In Hong Kong’s airport, the airstrips run from north to south, but on the Panshi side, they run from east to west. As for the runways, Hong Kong International Airport has two 60-meter-wide and 3,800-meter-long runways. The runway on the Panshi side has been turned into a super runway with a width of 70 meters and a length of 4,200 meters. With this standard, even the largest passenger planes will not have to worry about whether they can take off and land.

Matching the runway are three parallel taxiways, an apron of 800,000 square meters, a total of 80 aircraft positions, and a cargo warehouse with an area of ​​60,000 square meters. At the same time, it is equipped with navigation, communication, surveillance, weather and logistics support, etc. The system can provide 24-hour round-the-clock service. The terminal building under design consists of two parts, the main building and the waiting corridor, both of which are three-story structures connected by two passages, with an area of ​​300,000 square meters, 15 arrival baggage conveyor belts, and three boarding bridges. Ten buildings, commercial catering facilities and other rental service facilities in the terminal building cover an area of ​​60,000 square meters.

In addition to the Passenger Transport Center for passengers, it also imitated the Hong Kong International Airport to set up a commercial aviation center. It is located in the restricted area of ​​the airport and has independent facilities and services. It can provide comprehensive services for private passengers and VIPs, including lounges, independent rooms and connecting rooms. Shower facilities, commercial conference facilities, ground handling and baggage handling services, refueling services, immigration and security services, and also provide equipment for managing flight plans.

It is planned that after the completion of the first phase of the Panshi Airport project, it can meet the annual aircraft take-off and landing of 300,000 sorties, the annual passenger throughput of 30 million person-times, and the annual cargo and mail throughput of 800,000 tons. , Direct flights to important tourist cities, the number of domestic airports accounted for about 60% of the total number of operating airports, and strive to achieve direct flights with major international airports.

"Well, such a plan looks a little bit better." After Fan Heng saw it, he was quite satisfied. Fan Wubing even drew him a standard design. Of course, it was just The sketch only contained most of the hard indicators, but even so, Fan Heng could handle most of the cross-examinations.

"Dad, you'd better find someone who understands design from the Provincial Design Institute and come up with a computer rendering, which will look more convincing. You must know that this is the information age, and there is no future for hand-painting alone." Yes." Finally Fan Wubing suggested to his father Fan Heng.

"Well, this matter is necessary. I'll contact them as soon as possible." Fan Heng got the preliminary sketch made by his son Fan Wubing at this time, and he had a little foundation in his heart, so he immediately started to prepare.

After making an appointment, it was already time for dinner. At this time, Fan Heng suddenly received a call from Governor Ma Rulong, saying that there had been a reply from above, saying that Fan Heng should come to Beijing in person, Regarding Panshi's plans to build an airport, I will give a detailed explanation to the relevant leaders.

"Comrade Fan Heng, don't worry. This time, I will go with you." Ma Rulong said on the phone.

It can be heard that Governor Ma is very interested.
