Previously, in the planning bureau of Xiangjiang, Su Cheng had actually seen the miniature three-dimensional map of Xiangjiang's future planning.
According to the future planning map, the government is actually leaning towards building a new airport, and the location of this airport is the Xiangjiang International Airport on Lantau Island that Suzhou City is familiar with.
However, by the time the construction of the new airport started, the Governor was no longer Maliho.
"Mr. Su, you are indeed right. Many of us actually agree with the plan you mentioned, Mr. Su. Xiangjiang has less land and more people. We should not restrict the entire airport in the city center. Development, but building an airport requires huge costs. At present, we can only plan first, and subsequent construction can only rely on future generations." Mailihao said with emotion.
The current Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport is very old, and accidents often occur, making it on the list of the most dangerous airports in the world.
Although there are plans for a new airport, the construction of the new airport has always been put on hold due to funding problems.
According to the original historical trend, it was not until 1988 that a plane overran the runway and fell into the sea at Kai Tak Airport, and the topic of building a new airport was raised again. Before that, this plan was just waiting to be announced. Not visible in the planning bureau.
It stands to reason that Xiangjiang in Xiangjiang is so rich that building a new airport is not a problem at all, but it has always been in the planning stage. Naturally, there are other reasons.
It is now 1979. Although the negotiations have not yet begun, the British already know that Xiangjiang cannot be held.
So, all the funds Xiangjiang has received over the years have been emptied by the British. How can there be money to build an airport?
In the future, the cunning British will only start building an airport before Xiangjiang returns to the embrace of the motherland. They will build a super luxurious airport. Sioux City has seen the news that the new international airport in Xiangjiang cost more than 100 billion to build.
Where does this money come from?
The UK will definitely not pay. After all, there is no benefit to the UK from Hong Kong. How could they pay for it?
A lot of Xiangjiang’s fiscal revenue has been taken away by the British, and it is even more impossible for them to spit it out.
Hong Kong, which was hollowed out by the British, had no money to build a new airport. At this time, there were only two ways to go, one was investment from the north, and the other was a loan.
It is definitely impossible for the North to provide more than 100 billion Hong Kong dollars, so the only way left is loans.
Once Xiangjiang borrows money, the purpose of Britain will be obvious, which is nothing more than to bring down the economy of Xiangjiang, which no longer belongs to them, and even the entire northern economy.
However, Britain's final conspiracy naturally did not come true. Not only did Xiangjiang's economy not collapse, but it became more prosperous. A new airport brought more opportunities to Xiangjiang.
Of course, these are things for later, and the UK has no such idea at this time.
"I have seen the planning bureau's plan before. The new airport plan should be built on Lantau Island, right?" Su Cheng asked with a smile.
"Yes, according to the plan from the Planning Bureau, it should be built in the area of Chek Lap Kok Island and Lam Chau on Lantau Island, and then reclamation will be carried out. However, we currently have no funds, so there is no way to start." MacLehose nodded. said.
"Mr. Governor, if the Xiangjiang government is short of money, why not open the airport construction to the public for investment? I am actually quite interested in the construction of the new airport. If necessary, I will participate without hesitation!" Su Cheng Said with a smile.
The so-called more than 100 billion is actually just the British deliberately taking kickbacks. In order to enrich themselves and bring down the Hong Kong economy, they continue to increase project budgets, deliberately raise material quotations, and do everything possible to Making money here has increased the debt borne by the Xiangjiang area.
The reality is that the airport built in the 1990s only cost tens of billions at most.
Now it is the late 1970s. Subtracting more than ten years of inflation, tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars are more than enough to build an airport of similar size. In Su Cheng's view, he can afford the investment of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars.
Because he knows that the future Xiangjiang Airport will definitely be one of the most prosperous airports in the world.
Even in the 2020s when there are many airports, Xiangjiang International Airport is still one of the busiest airports in the world and one of the most important transportation hubs in Xiangjiang.
So, if Su City invests in Xiangjiang Airport, it will definitely make a lot of money.
The most important thing is that Suzhou City knows that it is better to build a new airport early than later. Only by building it early can Hong Kong's economy be more active.
And, more importantly, it will also take pressure off the north side in the future.
It is most appropriate to start building the airport while the British are not full of conspiracies.
"Mr. Su wants to invest in building a new airport? This will cost a lot of money." Mailihao asked in shock.
"Yes, if the Xiangjiang government needs it, I can invest, even if it is 100% of the funds provided by me, but I have a request. The funds need to be supervised by someone from my side." Su Cheng nodded and smiled.
“This matter is too important and I can’t make a decision. I’ll apply to the higher authorities when I go back.” Mailihao said.
"Okay, let me trouble you, Mr. Governor. This is something that will only benefit Hong Kong and not bring any harm. According to the current speed of economic development in Hong Kong, the construction of the new airport in Hong Kong should be done sooner rather than later. If Mr. Governor considers Hong Kong, I believe You will definitely support the construction of Xiangjiang's new airport," Su Cheng continued.
Actually, he did not expect that Mailihao had not discussed the idea of the new airport with him when they were in Xiangjiang, but by chance, they had a very happy conversation with him in Japan.
To be honest, Sioux City now has a lot of cash flow. Not to mention a lot, two to three tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in cash can be easily obtained.
This amount of money is so huge that it is difficult to invest it all at once.
Investing in airport construction is a good investment project.
If MacLehose agrees, Sioux City will definitely invest, just tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. He feels that he must invest whether it is for himself or for the future prosperity of Hong Kong.
Of course, even if the airport is built, the government will not let him invest the full amount alone. After all, this means that the airport belongs to Su City.
How can an important facility like the airport be controlled by a private person?
So, the government will definitely come forward and attract more people to invest.
This does not matter to Su City, as long as it can promote the construction time of the new airport, that is enough!
Just when Su Cheng and Mailihao were chatting happily, at this time, he was already being targeted by some people.
I saw several dark-looking leaders of other countries walking directly towards Su City. (End of this chapter)
