Su Cheng knew that he did not need to remind him that the land would be reclaimed from the sea in the future.
However, he still hopes that the reclamation project can be advanced.
It is best to leave this project to him.
Because, after reclamation, the right to use this place will definitely be decided by him first.
The total area of Cotai City in the future will exceed 6 square kilometers, which is six times the size of the current industrial park.
Such a large piece of land can directly build a new city.
The difficulty of reclamation in the area between Coloane Island and Taipa Island is much simpler than in other places. In other words, the cost of reclamation here is not high.
If he can intervene in the reclamation project here, the final result will be low investment and high returns!
“Mr. Su, our government has already planned your proposal. As early as the 1920s, Haojiang already had this plan to connect the sea area between Coloane Island and Taipa Island. The land was filled in to build a new town. However, due to funding problems, the plan has been delayed. To this day, the plan has not started, and Haojiang's fiscal revenue cannot support this project at all." Izhidi. Explained with a wry smile.
“Has your government estimated the funds needed to fill this place?” Su Cheng asked curiously.
"The cost is different in every era. For example, a few decades ago, if this sea area was filled into land, it would only cost tens of millions of Haojiang coins. But now, the investment is estimated to have reached 500 million Haojiang coins. With the development of the times and the continuous rise of commodity prices, our costs have also continued to rise," Izhidi replied.
Su Cheng nodded. Hundreds of millions of Haojiang coins were not too much for him, provided that this land could be used by him.
“Since the finances cannot bear it, then your government has not considered inviting external tenders and handing over the reclamation and land reclamation projects to private enterprises. Haojiang is far behind in terms of population and economy compared with Xiangjiang next door. "Well, it's because Haojiang is too small and there isn't much room for development. If the land increases, it will be a great thing for Haojiang," Su Cheng continued to ask.
“It’s not that we haven’t thought about this problem. Even now, there are some land in Haojiang that have been filled by some companies. But compared to the large companies in Xiangjiang, the companies in Haojiang are, to be honest. The scale is not large.
The area of the sea between Coloane Island and Taipa Island is so large that it is equivalent to recreating Taipa Island. With the strength of local enterprises, it simply cannot meet the conditions.
And foreign-funded enterprises are not very optimistic about Haojiang's future, so this project has naturally been stranded.
As the entertainment industry in Haojiang continues to develop, several companies are getting stronger and stronger. For example, the Pujing Hotel ranks at the forefront of Haojiang in paying taxes every year. Their own profits must also be very high. Okay, they should be able to come up with hundreds of millions of Haojiang coins.
The problem is that these entertainment companies are not engaged in the engineering industry, and it is impossible for them to spend most of their funds on a project that allows them to invest almost most of their funds. "
When it comes to this issue, Izhidi, as the governor of Haojiang, has a face full of bitterness.
The market in Haojiang is too small, which makes it difficult for it to create a giant. level of enterprise
Even before Sioux City invested in Haojiang, local companies in Haojiang continued to flow out to other places.
To put it bluntly, in addition to the entertainment industry, bosses with some strength hope to go out and leave Haojiang to develop in better places.
Hong Kong, Singapore, the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom, and even other countries in Southeast Asia are the targets of many local entrepreneurs in Haojiang.
There is no way, the market in Haojiang is too small, and it is easy to encounter development bottlenecks.
And it is not as international as Xiangjiang, which makes it difficult to develop into an international enterprise.
As a result, many business owners who encountered development bottlenecks chose to leave Haojiang and pursue higher development heights.
The entertainment industry is different. Gambling is prohibited in most places in the world.
It is by taking advantage of this that Haojiang can give its economy a stable backbone.
The entertainment industry often complements the tourism industry. Therefore, in Haojiang today, the entertainment industry and tourism are its two major economic pillars.
As for industry, it can only be regarded as the third largest economic pillar.
Hundreds of millions of Haojiang coins are indeed too high a sum of money for Haojiang.
Haojiang’s current annual fiscal revenue is only tens of millions of Haojiang coins.
Some of these funds will also flow to Portugal.
It is impossible for a colony not to be plundered by colonialists.
This resulted in less available fiscal funds for Haojiang.
With the financial income of Haojiang, how could it be possible for him to have the money to carry out such a big project!
"Mr. Governor, if possible, I am more interested in this project." Su Cheng said with a smile.
Whether it is now or in the future, Haojiang is an area with a very high population density because its land area is too small.
The high population density and developed economy will eventually cause land and housing prices to become very high!
If he invests in this land and obtains the right to use it, he will be rich.
In my impression, the per capita population of Haojiang will be among the top in the world in the future. This is enough to show how developed the economy of Haojiang will be in the future.
So, although the current housing prices in Haojiang are lower than those in Xiangjiang, in the future the housing prices in Haojiang will not be cheaper than those in the core area of Xiangjiang.
The investment of hundreds of millions of Haojiang coins is just the land price. In the next twenty or thirty years, the return may be as high as a hundred times at least.
Moreover, hundreds of millions of Haojiang coins are just a small amount to him now.
Izidi's eyes lit up. If he could promote the launch of this project during his term, it would definitely be a help to his political achievements.
Although he is now the governor of Haojiang, Izidi has always focused on Portugal, which is his motherland, and he also hopes that his official position in Portugal will be higher.
And Haojiang is a good springboard.
The better he performs in Haojiang, the more he shows his ability to govern.
So, for him, if he can really promote the reclamation project in Cotai City, he is 10,000 willing.
Anyway, there is no need for money from the finance side, so why not do it!
Thinking of this, Izhidi said directly: "Mr. Su, if you are really willing to take on this project, as the Governor, I will definitely support you with my full support!"
"Mr. Governor, After all, this is an expenditure of hundreds of millions of dollars. If I take over the reclamation project between Taipa Island and Coloane Island, can the government promise that the use rights of this land will be ours after the project is completed? Of course? We will also pay the land use fees that are due!”
After receiving Izhidi’s response, Su Cheng asked his conditions again.
If the Haojiang government supports this condition, then he will take care of this project and no one can compete with him! (End of chapter)
