Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Vol 3 Chapter 1292: Monopolize the traffic of Hong Kong

"Rebirth of the most powerful hero ( to find the latest chapter!

Thinking of this, Xia Yu asked Su Xingjian: "Governor Su, what was the passenger volume of Kai Tak International Airport last year?"

"I remember it was written in the government's annual work report last year. I didn't pay much attention when I read it before. Is it seven million or eight million?"

This data makes Su Xingjian also big head.

But at any rate, he was in charge of Xiangjiang, and he read the report more often, so he kept his eyebrows thinking for a long time, but still remembered.

"I remember that the annual passenger traffic reached 8.57 million, the cargo throughput reached 439,000 tons, and the number of aircraft flying exceeded 52,000."

"What about the maximum passenger capacity of Kai Tak International Airport?"

Xia Yu nodded slightly and asked another key question.

Su Xingjian knew Xia Yu's purpose. He immediately said: "In 1982, the fourth phase of the expansion project of the airport passenger terminal was completed. I remember that it was built by Jiuding Infrastructure Co., Ltd. At that time, I also participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony."

"According to the data after the fourth phase of the expansion, the annual standard passenger volume is 10 million, and it can reach 12 million under high load."

Xia Yu said, "Ten million person-times."

"It reached 8.57 million passengers last year. The tourism and entertainment industry is one of the six pillars of Xiangjiang. Xiangjiang itself is an island. Air passenger transportation is the biggest support for the tourism and entertainment industry."

"Such a small passenger flow is not enough."

"I estimate that by 1986, the passenger flow will exceed 10 million."

"If Xiangjiang develops well, it might be possible to achieve it in early 1985, but then it will be too late."

Xia Yu is very clear about the future of Xiangjiang.

He remembered that in the year before the return of Hong Kong, Hong Kong had reached 30 million passengers in international passenger transport throughout the year, ranking third in the world's airports, which was terrifying.

By the time he was reborn in later generations, he had reached a passenger throughput of more than 70 million passengers and a cargo throughput of more than 5 million tons!

It’s only a peak of 12 million visits, so where does it go?

Su Xingjian looked a little heavy and said, "Mr. Xia said that the Kai Tak International Airport expansion project must be carried out immediately."

Xia Yu nodded and said, "It is necessary to start the expansion immediately, but I have one more suggestion."

The fitness child Su Xing leaned forward slightly: "Mr. Xia, please also give instructions."

Xia Yu drank a sip of tea to moisturize his throat, and then said: "The Kai Tak International Airport is located in the Kowloon City District. The area of ​​the Kowloon City District is too small. The entire district is only 100,000 square kilometers, and the permanent population is large. The expansion cost of the airport is very high. The difficulty is also great, and the potential is insufficient."

"In fact, at this time, Kai Tak International Airport is no longer in line with Hong Kong's positioning, and it is destined to fail to keep up in the future."

"For Hong Kong to become an international city, it must have an international airport that meets the requirements. The best way is to build a new international airport, and Kai Tak International Airport will be used as a transitional airport, and one more phase of expansion will do."

"Given the geographical conditions of the Hong Kong River, it is best to put it in the outlying island area. Chek Lap Kok, Lantau Island, is good."

Xia Yu made suggestions directly based on the situation in the previous life.

In the previous life, the Hong Kong International Airport was built at Chek Lap Kok, Lantau Island, in the western outlying islands of the New Territories.

The Outlying Islands District is also famous for being a sparsely populated area in Hong Kong. It covers the largest area in Hong Kong. The whole district is composed of more than 20 large and small islands, with a total area of ​​168 square kilometers, but only a small population. A mere 40,000 people.

To build an international airport in this place, apart from anything else, the cost of land acquisition and demolition alone is the lowest. The land is basically owned by the Hong Kong government, and construction can be started after the demarcated land is leveled.

Su Xingjian was shocked by Xia Yu's proposal to open a new airport directly, but he did not refute it at all. He directly agreed with it, and entered the level of how to implement it.

He raised a few questions.

"Mr. Xia, I fully agree with the construction of a new airport, but if it is to be built on Lantau Island, in addition to the airport, the most basic land transportation facilities need to be built. There is no subway and the roads are ordinary roads. "

"Especially like the blueprint you have drawn up, ordinary buses are not enough. It is best to have a subway directly connected to the airport. The Xiangjiang Underground Railway Company is still losing money, and the subways in the city are still being built."

"If these aspects are combined to invest, it will take a long time, and the financial pressure will be great."

Speaking of this, Su Xingjian's eyebrows were filled with sorrow.

Although Hong Kong’s fiscal revenue skyrocketed last year, no matter how much money is spent, it must be fully coordinated.

Housing and education policies are already two big players. If money is invested in these two big holes, I am afraid that there will be great resistance from the people of Hong Kong and even the Hong Kong government.

After all, the new airport is the future, not the most anxious.

As far as the subway is concerned, the Hong Kong Island Line in the urban areas, such as the Admiralty to Chai Wan section, the Sheung Wan to Central section, the Kwun Tong line and other densely populated urban areas have not yet opened to traffic.

In this case, if the subway is first built in a deserted place, the resistance is imaginable!

Even if he, as the Governor of Hong Kong, fully supports Xia Yu, it will cause a huge disturbance in Xiangjiang.

Xia Yu can understand Su Xingjian's concerns.

But he already has a solution.

Isn't it the pressure to build a new international airport? How much does the subway company lose?

Don't be afraid!

Since these two are two big burdens to finances, let him do it!

Thinking of this, Xia Yu smiled and said: "In this case, the new international airport is privately constructed and operated by me, and Xiangjiang Metro will sell it to me too!"

Su Xingjian widened his eyes and said in disbelief, "Mr. Xia, are you sure?"

"Since its establishment in 1975, the Xiangjiang Metro Company has been losing money every year. Even though there have been lines open to traffic since 1979, the cost of building a new subway has become higher and higher each year, and the expenditures have also increased."

"I have learned that the loss of the subway company is a common situation in all countries and regions in the world, so there is no private involvement. It is all operated by the government and operated by government subsidies."

"If you want, I can solve all problems for you, but I'm afraid it will affect you."

Xia Yu nodded calmly: "I'm not kidding, Xiangjiang Metro will sell it to me, I'll run it."

"But the Hong Kong government has to make a separate policy to avoid my loss."

Su Xingjian said without hesitation: "No problem."

Xia Yu smiled with satisfaction: "Well, these days, first sell the Xiangjiang Metro Company to me. As for the specific policy requirements, I will let someone make a plan later, and you will deal with it at that time."

Now that the Hong Kong MTR Corporation is losing money, it is because the Hong Kong government has not found a correct development path.

You know, the former Xiangjiang Metro Company was one of the few profitable metro companies in the world, with annual revenue of more than 50 billion Hong Kong dollars, net profits of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, and a market value of more than 280 billion!

Xiangjiang Metro is also a learning target for major mainland metro companies!

The reason why Xiangjiang Metro Company is so successful is because of its special development model-"Metro + Property".

"Metro + property" is coordinated by the subway company to closely integrate railway planning, construction, and operation with the planning, construction, and market operation of properties along the line. During construction or after operation, combine the development of characteristic superstructures to obtain benefits .

The key to this is that the subway company is solely responsible for the overall planning, design, construction, operation, and market planning of the railway and the property, so that the subway and the property can achieve the greatest synergy.

The development model of "Metro + Property" has enabled Xiangjiang Metro to build various characteristic and significant property projects on nearly half of the stations~www.ltnovel.com~ which not only brings huge profits, but also solves the needs of engineering construction. Part of the funding source, while leaving a large number of high-quality property assets, has brought long-term stable income to Xiangjiang Metro.

The fact that so many high-quality land can be obtained is because of the policies given by the Hong Kong Government.

It is possible to adjust the land properties within the radius of 400-800 meters (5-10 minutes walk) around the Xiangjiang Metro Rail Station.

Agricultural land and industrial land can be turned into commercial land. This authority is not small, and the land is still available at an ultra-low price!

Isn't the Pengcheng Metro Company, a profitable mainland China, a well-known big landlord in Guangdong Province?

As long as it has this policy authority, it will be easy for the Xiangjiang MTR Corporation to turn its losses into profit.

With his contribution and influence to Xiangjiang, let Xiangjiang Metro Company enjoy this policy. Isn't it a matter of sprinkling water?

However, it is better to take over the Xiangjiang Metro Company at a low price, and then apply this policy to it.

After that, Xia Yu chatted with Su Xingjian for a long time, and gave a lot of strategic opinions on the development of Xiangjiang, and Su Xingjian said that all of them would seriously consider implementation.

Until about nine o'clock in the evening, Su Xingjian and his wife left.

Xia Yu remembered the affairs of tonight and planned to handle it tomorrow.

Now he already has buses, ferries, passenger and cargo airlines. If he grasps the subway and airport, the entire transportation market in Hong Kong will belong to him.

By the way, maybe you can open another taxi company, then it's complete...

PS: I'm sorry, it's a little late, I finally rushed out of Chapter 2 before 12 o'clock. After reading it, remember to vote for a monthly recommendation vote. After reading it, please wash and sleep, good night
