Thinking of this, Xia Yu asked Su Xingjian: "Governor Su, what was the annual 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 to it when I read it before. Is it seven million or eight million?"

This data made Su Xingjian head too big.

However, he is in charge of Xiangjiang, and he has read the report more often, so after thinking about it for a long time, he still remembers it.

"I remember that the annual passenger traffic reached 8.57 million, the cargo throughput reached 439,000 tons, and the number of aircraft flights 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, and he immediately said: "In 1982, the fourth-phase expansion project of the airport passenger terminal was completed. I remember that it was built by Jiuding Infrastructure Co., Ltd., and I also participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony when it was opened."

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

Xia Yu muttered, "Ten million times."

"Last year, it reached 8.57 million. The tourism and entertainment industry is one of the six pillars of Hong Kong. Hong Kong itself is an island. Air passenger transport is the biggest support for the tourism and entertainment industry."

"It's not enough for such a small traffic."

"I estimate that by 1986 at the most, there will be more than 10 million passengers."

"If Xiangjiang develops well, maybe it can be achieved in early 1985, but it will be too late by then."

Xia Yu knew the future of Xiangjiang very well.

He remembered that in the year before Hong Kong's return, Hong Kong's international passenger traffic reached 30 million passengers a year, ranking third in the world's airports, which is terrifying.

Before his rebirth in later generations, the passenger throughput reached more than 70 million passengers, and the cargo throughput also exceeded 5 million tons!

The peak of 12 million people is only now, where is it?

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

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

Su Xing Jianzi leaned forward slightly: "Mr. Xia, please give instructions."

Xia Yu took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said: "The Kai Tak International Airport is located in Kowloon City. The area of ​​Kowloon City is too small. The entire area is only 100,000 square kilometers, and there are many permanent residents. The expansion cost of the airport is very high. It’s also very difficult and lacks potential.”

"Actually, at this time, Kai Tak International Airport does not meet the positioning of Hong Kong, and it is destined to fail to keep up in the future."

"For Xiangjiang 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 is used as a transitional airport, and it is enough to expand it for another phase."

"Given the geographical conditions of Xiangjiang, it is best to put it in the outlying island area, and Chek Lap Kok on Lantau Island is good."

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

In a previous life, Heung Kong International Airport was built in Chek Lap Kok, Lantau Island, in the outlying islands of the West New Territories.

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

To build an international airport in this place, if nothing else, the cost of land acquisition and demolition is the lowest. The land is basically owned by the Hong Kong government, and the construction can be started after the land is demarcated and leveled.

Although Su Xingjian was shocked at Xia Yu's suggestion to directly build a new airport, he did not refute at all, he directly agreed, and entered the level of how to implement it.

He raised several questions.

"Mr. Xia, I fully agree to build a new airport, but if it is built on Lantau Island,

In addition to building the airport, it is also necessary to build the most basic land transportation facilities. There is no subway there, and the roads are also ordinary roads. "

"Especially like the blueprint you outlined, ordinary buses are not enough. It's better to have a subway directly connected to the airport. The Xiangjiang Metro Company is still losing money, and the subways in the urban area are still being built."

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

Speaking of this, Su Xingjian's brows were filled with sadness.

Although Hong Kong's fiscal revenue skyrocketed last year, no matter how much money is spent, it must be coordinated in an all-round way.

Housing and education policies are already the two big ones. If money is invested in these two big holes, I am afraid there will be great resistance from the people of Hong Kong and even the internal level of 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 urban areas, such as the Admiralty-Chai Wan section, Sheung Wan-Central section, 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 an uninhabited place, the resistance is conceivably large!

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

Xia Yu could understand Su Xingjian's worries.

But he already has a solution.

Isn't it just the pressure to build a new international airport? How much is the subway company losing money?

Don't be afraid!

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

Thinking of this, Xia Yu said with a smile: "In this case, the new international airport will be built and operated by me privately, and the Hong Kong Metro Company will also sell it to me!"

Su Xingjian stared, and said incredulously, "Mr. Xia, are you sure?"

"Since its establishment in 1975, the Heung Kong Metro Company has been losing money every year. Even though lines have been opened to traffic since 1979, the cost of building a new subway every year is getting higher and higher, and the expenditure is getting bigger and bigger."

"I have learned that the loss of subway companies 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 completely solve all your problems for you, but I'm afraid it will affect you."

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

"However, the Hong Kong government has to make a separate policy to prevent my losses from being too great."

Su Xingjian said without hesitation, "No problem."

Xia Yu showed a satisfied smile: "Okay, sell the Xiangjiang Metro Company to me these days. As for the specific policy requirements, I will let someone come up with a plan later, and you will handle it when the time comes."

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

You must know that the former Hong Kong Metro Company was one of the few profitable subway companies in the world. Its annual revenue reached more than 50 billion Hong Kong dollars, its net profit reached tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, and its market value was as high as more than 280 billion!

Heung Kong Metro Company is also the learning object of major metro companies in mainland China!

The reason why Heung Kong Metro Company can be so successful is because of its special development model - "subway + property".

"Subway + property" is coordinated by the subway company, which closely integrates railway planning, construction, and operation with the planning, construction, and market operation of superstructure properties along the line. During construction or after operation, it can combine the development of characteristic superstructure properties to obtain benefits. .

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

The development model of "subway + property" enables Heungkong Metro to build property projects with different characteristics and significant benefits on nearly half of the stations, which not only brings huge profits, but also solves some of the funding sources required for project construction. The acquisition of a large number of high-quality property assets has brought long-term and stable income to Heungkong Metro.

It is because of the policies given by the Hong Kong government that we can obtain so much high-quality land.

Land properties within a radius of 400 to 800 meters (5 to 10 minutes' walk) can be adjusted around the Xiangjiang subway station.

Agricultural land and industrial land can be turned into commercial land. This authority is not too big, and the land is still available at ultra-low prices!

Isn't the Pengcheng subway company that can make a profit in the mainland of the future, a famous landlord in Guangdong Province?

As long as it has this policy authority, it is easy for Heungkong Metro to turn losses into profits.

With his contribution and influence to Hong Kong, let the Hong Kong Metro Company enjoy this policy, isn't that a matter of sprinkling water?

However, it is still necessary to take over the Hong Kong 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 put forward a lot of strategic opinions on the development of Xiangjiang. Su Xingjian said that he would carefully consider and implement it.

It was not until about nine o'clock in the evening that Su Xingjian and his wife left.

Xia Yu remembered what happened tonight and planned to do it tomorrow.

Now that he already has buses, ferries, passenger and cargo airlines, if he takes hold of the subway and the airport, then the entire transportation market in Xiangjiang is his.

By the way, maybe we can open another taxi company, then it will be complete...

PS: I'm sorry, it's a little late, I finally drove out the second chapter before 12 o'clock. After reading it, remember to vote for the monthly vote. After reading it, everyone should wash and sleep, good night.
