In Tangshan City, Yanxing Province, Ling Haozhong and Li Huafeng were getting together to study the provincial instructions. Just ten days ago, the two went to the province for a meeting. Provincial leaders officially revealed to them that the province was preparing to establish Yanxing Airlines

plan.

There is certainly no problem in establishing Yanxing Airlines to serve the economy of Yanxing Province. As a province with nearly 200,000 square kilometers of land and a population of more than 70 million, with the development of the economy, it is indeed necessary

It has sufficient air transportation capacity. However, due to historical reasons and practical conditions, the air transportation industry in Yanxing Province has no status at all in the country. It is a large province and surrounds the two municipalities of Beijing and Jincheng.

, there are many military airports in the province, but there are only two civilian airports!

One is Shimen Airport located in the provincial capital. This is a large airport that can take off and land mainline aircraft. From the beginning of its construction, it was determined that one of its important functions is to serve as an alternate airport and diversion airport for the two major airports in Beijing and Jincheng.

But now, Beijing's Nanyuan Airport has been renovated and expanded into a large airport with the highest level of domestic airports that can take off and land giant aircraft such as the A380 passenger plane. It has become the first choice alternate airport for Beijing and Jincheng Airport, and has also attracted a large number of Beijing airports.

Flights that cannot be arranged by the Capital Airport. As a result, it will naturally have a significant negative impact on the business of Shimen Airport. After receiving an investment of 700 million yuan from Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group, Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group has opened up another

There are many routes to various places, and the current operating conditions are quite good. At least they are not losing money.

The other one is Shanhaiguan Airport located on the Bohai Sea. It is a military-civilian airport with a civil aviation level 4d. It can take off and land small and medium-sized passenger aircraft and is a regional airport. There are only dozens of flights taking off and landing every week, and the annual passenger throughput is only a few

Ten thousand people is a pitifully small number. Every year, local governments and provinces need to provide a certain amount of subsidies.

After studying the development of the domestic air transport industry, the province believes that the current development of the province's air transport industry is too lagging behind, which is completely inconsistent with the economic status of Yanxing Province in the country and is not conducive to the future economic development of Yanxing Province. Therefore, it is planned to

Establish a local airline to promote the development of the provincial air transport industry.

Establishing a local airline. This is of course no problem for Ling Haozhong and Li Huafeng. There are only two airports in the province. After the local airline is established, it will definitely use Shimen Airport as its base airport. Tangshan City does not even have an airport. Naturally, it will be used.

Don't fight for anything.

However, to establish a local airline, airplanes are necessary, and routes are even more necessary! Without enough routes, the planes purchased are just a bunch of decorations on the ground! Although, Yanxing Airlines in the future can also

Develop inter-provincial routes with the provinces surrounding Yanxing Province, but the province cannot only have one route from Shimen Airport to Shanhaiguan Airport, so the province decided to choose appropriate urban construction branch lines in these cities in the province.

The airport and Tangshan City are naturally the first choice.

Tangshan City, although it is said that due to the major rectification of the steel industry within its jurisdiction, a large number of small and medium-sized steel companies that did not meet national standards were shut down and reorganized, and a large number of backward production capacities were eliminated. Moreover, after that, Tangshan City began to regulate the area under its jurisdiction.

The establishment of steel companies within the country has significantly raised the threshold. Steel companies that produce ordinary steel will not be considered at all if their annual output does not reach three million tons. And if they reach this standard, they must also meet environmental protection standards.

Only then will the province and the capital apply for it.

This has caused the number of steel companies in Tangshan City to drop from 278 in 2003 to less than 30 at present. Even those steel companies that were originally recognized by the state have also undergone mergers and reorganizations, and some

After being acquired by Fang Mingyuan and others, it was merged into Tangshan Iron and Steel Works.

Such a big move naturally caused an uproar in Tangshan City and caused social unrest. However, fortunately, this move in Tangshan City received strong support from the central ministries and commissions, as well as the support from the Beijing and Jincheng governments.

Although the attitude of the province is not so positive, it is impossible to jump out and sing the opposite. Tangshan received more than one billion yuan in financial support from the central government, Beijing and Tianjin, and the province in 2004 alone.

.

Then, the news of the establishment of Liao Provincial Iron and Steel Group Corporation and the construction of a steel plant with an annual output of more than 8 million tons in Tangshan, as well as the supporting ports and other additional facilities, made the laid-off and unemployed workers in Tangshan City

Their spirits were immediately lifted.

At the same time, the investment of up to 70 million U.S. dollars by Moonlight Porcelain Co., Ltd. and Nitto Machinery Co., Ltd. in the Tangshan ceramics industry has gradually shown its due driving role. In addition, the Tangshan City Government has vigorously developed tourism. Although last year,

GDP has dropped by 0.78% compared to 2003, but it can be considered a smooth ride.

Although the steel industry in Yanxing Province and other provinces in China was not "cut down" as hard as Tangshan, every one of them suffered heavy setbacks during the 2004 rectification. A large number of private steel companies were unable to

At the same time, because the products were too monotonous, as soon as the country cooled down on several overheated industries, these products immediately became unsalable, and fell into a situation where the more production sites there were, the greater the losses, and had to stop production or even go bankrupt. There are many.

Large state-owned steel companies also experienced the cold winter firsthand that year.

Although 2004 has passed and Tangshan City's economic development has shown positive momentum again this year, the investment required to build a modern airport, even if it is just a regional airport, is not a small amount.

This made Ling Haozhong and Li Huafeng scratch their heads.

"In my opinion, we still have to try to make use of the existing conditions. If we can get approval, I estimate that we can meet the provincial requirements by investing another 300 million yuan or so." Li Huafeng said with a distressed look on his face. Tangshan

The city's infrastructure construction work in recent years has required a large amount of funds. Tangshan City's finances are already tight. Where can we raise additional funds to build a new airport.

Ling Haozhong knew that what Li Huafeng meant was to transform and expand the existing military airport in Litangshan City into a dual-use airport. In this way, a lot of costs could be saved. But transforming a military airport into a dual-use airport, although

It is not that there is no precedent in the country, but it is not easy to get approval! That requires approval from the Military Commission.

"After all, we haven't run out of money yet!" Ling Haozhong sighed, "I really envy Tongyi's Secretary Su."

"Yes, it's really a big deal." Li Huafeng couldn't help but smile bitterly. Just yesterday, news came out from Qinxi Province that Tongyi City intends to build a top-level international hub airport in the country that can handle behemoths like the A380 passenger plane.

, to meet the growing economic development needs of Qinxi Province, the investment is expected to be more than 10 billion yuan. This news has been confirmed by Qinxi Province and Tongyi City. There is indeed such a plan, and Tongyi City

The Yi City Government is conducting further research on this matter.

This news immediately made Qinxi Province and Tongyi City the focus of the domestic aviation industry. If Tongyi City’s plan is approved, it will not only mean that there will be another international airport in Qinxi Province.

The large airport also means that there is another hub airport in the northwest of China, and international flights from Europe have one more landing option. Moreover, if you transfer from Tongyi, you can easily travel to all parts of the country.

.

"For a top-level airport with an investment of tens of billions of yuan, they are not worried that there will not be enough flights by then." Ling Haozhong shook his head and said, "Didn't Fengyuan International Airport just complete its expansion not long ago?" To be honest, neither he nor Li Huafeng

Although I am very optimistic about this plan of the province, what I am most worried about is that Tangshan has invested a huge amount of money to build an airport, but there are not many flights at all. So won’t this airport become another endless hole that swallows up the city’s finances?

"Since Mr. Fang dares to do this, he must be confident." Li Huafeng said, "After all, it has two airlines, Kowloon Airlines and Qinxi Airlines, and I heard that the benefits are pretty good. Moreover, it is said that they are still negotiating with Europe

The two airlines are negotiating, probably because they want to expand routes to Europe." After being told that the province hoped to build a new airport in Tangshan, Li Huafeng did some research on the domestic aviation and airport industries, and also

Get to know these well-known companies in the industry.

"I don't know if Qinxi Airport Group Company is interested. If we can hand over Tangshan Airport to them, we will save a lot of worry." Ling Haozhong pinched his chin and said, "They dare to build an airport worth tens of billions of dollars, like

For regional airports like ours, it’s a piece of cake for them. At worst, the city will give them more concessions in land allocation.”

Li Huafeng nodded knowingly. He understood what Ling Haozhong was thinking. If Qinxi Airport Group Company had ideas for Tangshan New Airport, then things would be easy. The city only needs to invest in land and road construction, construction funds and future operations.

All problems can be thrown to the Qinxi Airport Group Company. In this case, the squeeze on municipal financial funds and possible losses in the future will not be a big problem. Moreover, the Qinxi Airport Group Company has shares in the new airport, so they will naturally

Find ways to open new routes.

"Then ask, I just want to talk to him about the current situation in the city. It would be best to get two new investments from the Fang family." Li Huafeng encouraged. (To be continued)
