Resource Tycoon Reborn

Fang Mingyuan looked through the news from Yicheng. They only stayed in Yicheng for one night and went to other cities in Huaiyang Province early the next morning. Both of them were very pressed for time and did not have the time to spend time in Yicheng.

They didn't want to stay in the city even for a whole morning. Early on the third day, they took Fang Mingyuan's business jet from the airport in Ruyin City, the capital of Huaiyang Province, back to Jiangning.

This trip to Huaiyang Province, although due to time constraints, they only visited two prefecture-level cities including Yicheng before heading to the provincial capital Ruyin City, what they saw and heard along the way still made the two

I was very touched. Compared with the miserable conditions described in the information, the living conditions of these professional fishermen along the Yangtze River, including the Lianjia boat people, can be said to be even worse! Wild fish resources in the Yangtze River

The lack of food has forced their lives into a dead end. If they no longer think of ways to solve their life problems, it is conceivable that this will be one of the hidden dangers to local social stability in the future. The total fishing ban in the Yangtze River must be within the allowable scope.

Speed ​​up as much as possible.

Under the leadership of Su Aimin, the two met with the second-in-command of Huaiyang Province. The two parties had an exchange of views on the complete ban on fishing in the Yangtze River. Of course, the other party promised to support this action. But between words, there was still

Overtly or covertly, he encouraged Fang Mingyuan to invest in Huaiyang Province, and promised many preferential policies to the Fang family's investment companies. For Su Aimin's sake, Fang Mingyuan couldn't say much, and could only guarantee that there would be suitable projects.

I will definitely consider Huaiyang.

After returning to Jiangning, Su Aimin naturally had his own affairs to be busy with, and all the affairs of Zhang Ligen's family in Yicheng were left to Fang Mingyuan. However, judging from the news that came back, Zhang Ligen's tragic experience was broadcast on Yicheng TV Station

After being broadcast, it attracted social attention. Currently, Zhang Ligen's family has received more than 50,000 yuan in donations. Officials from relevant government departments in Yicheng City also visited Zhang Ligen in person to express condolences and transferred him to the county hospital and exempted him from medical treatment.

He paid his medical expenses and fines. In this incident, Carrefour Supermarket also received a lot of attention because it immediately sent people to express condolences and donated 5,000 yuan.

"Qing'er. Yicheng needs to continue to follow up on this matter, but downplay the role of Carrefour Group in it, so that people focus on the two main issues of the lack of fish resources in the Yangtze River and the difficulties of fishermen's lives.

"Fang Mingyuan said. Maybe the Yicheng media wanted to please Carrefour Group or got instructions from above. In these reports, the fact that Yicheng Carrefour Supermarket sent someone to send 5,000 yuan was highlighted, but

In Fang Mingyuan's view, this is a misunderstanding of priorities. He doesn't want people's focus to shift because of this. Moreover, this has also brought some negative effects. Some people may already think that Carrefour Group is taking advantage of this opportunity.

Promote yourself.

"Mingyuan, this is the information that Sister Lian just sent over. I think she wants you to take a look." Zheng Jiayi put a dozen pieces of paper in front of Fang Mingyuan and said, "At two o'clock in the afternoon, Vice Governor Shangguan will come.

During the visit, Chairman Zhou Ning will come over for dinner. Please pay attention to your time arrangement.

"Hmm!" Fang Mingyuan picked up the first page and glanced at it before sitting up straight. "Most Japanese airports are losing money and the government plans to sell their management rights."

Japan is an island country, which means that in modern society, most of the international movement of people relies on air transportation. This also makes its small land densely covered with 98 large and small airports.

In terms of the ratio of airports to land area, that is, airport density, the United Kingdom, Germany and Japan occupy the top three places. Japan has 2.6 airports per 10,000 square kilometers of land, exceeding the United States' 0.6. Japan

Airports are divided into state-owned, local government-operated and joint-stock companies, of which state-owned airports account for almost 30%. Among them, there are 28 state-owned airports managed by the Japanese government, and 67 are managed by local governments. Tokyo Narita International Airport,

Nagoya Chubu International Airport and Osaka Kansai International Airport are managed by joint-stock companies.

At the transportation policy review meeting held recently by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Japan, it was announced that 98 airports across the country, 80% of which are now in the red. These include the two major airports, Nagoya Chubu International Airport and Osaka Kansai International Airport. However,

The loss of Nagoya Chubu International Airport is because it just officially started operations in April this year, and the loss of Osaka Kansai International Airport is because it is built on an artificial island, and this artificial island is currently suffering from seawater erosion.

There were cave-ins in a few places, and huge sums of money had to be spent on repairs and waterproofing.

The few airports that are profitable are mostly located far away from Tokyo and have less competition with transportation modes such as the Shinkansen. Although unprofitable airports account for the majority in Japan, most of them continue to operate at a loss.

The main reasons why they were built across Japan were exaggerated market expectations and the promotion of legislators who wanted to be elected or re-elected to please voters. Japan's small land, developed road transportation and Shinkansen transportation system make

These airports that cannot attract international flights and do not have enough domestic flights cannot reach the expected passenger flow at all, and Japan's high land costs and labor costs naturally doom them to inevitable losses. And the reason why Lin Lian became famous

This information came because local government officials in Kobe, Japan, asked the Fang family if they were interested in taking over the Kobe Airport that was under construction!

Kobe Airport is a municipal airport built on an artificial island in the southern waters of Kobe with the approval of the relevant departments of the Japanese government after the Kobe earthquake. The original plan was to start operations in early 2006. It is located 10 km from the famous Osaka

Kansai International Airport is quite close. It was originally intended to handle some of the Japanese domestic flights diverted from Osaka Kansai International Airport. However, due to Japan's economic downturn and the reconstruction of the Kobe earthquake, the financial situation of Kobe City has deteriorated.

The situation is deteriorating rapidly. Although the city of Kobe has thought of various ways to improve its financial situation and achieved some results, so far, the city's financial situation is not optimistic.

Moreover, the development speed of Japan's aviation industry has not continued to expand as many people expected. On the contrary, in recent years, the Japanese government has accelerated the pace of opening up the Japanese air transport industry and relaxed access restrictions. Starting in May of the second millennium, Japan

The setting of air freight rates is no longer the responsibility of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and free pricing is implemented in principle. This not only expands the Japanese aviation market, but also makes competition among airlines more intense. In order to attract more passengers, but also to survive

Going forward, Japanese airlines are making a big fuss about ticket prices.

However, because the Japanese economy at that time had just bottomed out after the Southeast Asian financial crisis and had not yet truly embarked on the track of comprehensive economic recovery, the demand for the domestic passenger aviation market did not increase significantly. Moreover, due to the increasing demand for oil in the international market

Prices have been rising, causing fuel costs to rise significantly. This has offset the efforts of Japanese airlines to reduce personnel and find various ways to reduce operating costs. As a result, the practice of competing with each other for the lowest ticket price has not actually increased.

Regarding the income of various airlines, Japan's major airlines still have huge deficits, which has worsened the situation for Japan's air transport industry, which was already in development difficulties.

Fierce competition has caused many airlines to compress and reduce flights that are not very profitable. Although Osaka Kansai International Airport is busy, it is far from the point where it needs to be diverted, which makes it originally used for domestic routes.

The diverted Kobe Airport is in a very embarrassing situation, facing the danger of "graduation" or "unemployment". Not only will the Kobe City Government not be able to profit from future airport operating expenses, but it will have to spend a large amount of money to maintain the normal operation of the airport.

, this is nothing short of making matters worse for the already stretched municipal finances, making the Kobe City Government overwhelmed, so the idea of ​​​​transferring the operating rights of the airport came up.

If we want to make statistics, who among the Japanese people like Fang Mingyuan the most, Kobe people are definitely among the best. The vast majority of Kobe people still remember clearly. In order to "warn" that there would be an earthquake in Japan, Fang Mingyuan worked hard in Japan.

What price they paid, what situation they were forced into by the Japanese, and they remembered more clearly their helpless and desperate mood when the earthquake occurred. And when the officials of Kobe City learned that Fang Mingyuan had

Among the enterprises are airport operating companies and airlines. The Kobe Municipal Government formally sent a letter to Lin Lian the day before yesterday, asking Fang Mingyuan if he intended to acquire the operating rights of Kobe Airport.

The more Fang Mingyuan looked at it, the more surprised he was that Japan's airports were losing money. There was nothing surprising about this. There were nearly a hundred airports scattered across such a large country, and some airports were only an hour's drive apart. The highly densely populated areas

The urban area is better, and the population is not so dense. Today, when Japan's economy is sluggish and the Shinkansen connects urban agglomerations, it is normal for those small and medium-sized airports to suffer losses. It's just that the airport is like a subway.

, like railways, cannot be measured purely by whether they can be profitable. Once it is completed and put into operation, it will have a driving effect on many related industries, especially some places with tourism resources, so many places even give huge sums to airports.

The subsidies must also be maintained.

What surprised him was that the Kobe City Government actually planned to transfer the operating rights to itself. Well, foreign capital acquired the operating rights of an airport, and it was still an airport in an important city. This issue was definitely impossible in China. At most, it would allow equity participation. Fang Mingyuan remembered

It seems that the upper limit of shareholding is not to exceed 20%. Although there are three Japanese airports that are joint-stock companies, and there are probably foreign investors among them, there must be restrictions. If I acquire the operating rights of Kobe Airport, can the Japanese government approve it? And

Kobe Airport was originally used for domestic flights of Japan Airlines. Whether it can open international routes is still a question. But looking at the basic situation of Kobe Airport, Fang Mingyuan is indeed a little tempted!

Kobe Airport has now been completed. All that remains is the interior decoration of the terminal building and the installation of some equipment. Excluding the power building and other non-external buildings, the total construction area of ​​the airport is nearly 18,000 square meters. Ventilation has been fully considered.

and natural lighting. To the south of the terminal is the taxiway and the sea, and to the north is the urban area. It is very convenient for tourists to get to the city center of Kobe from here. It only takes less than 20 minutes to take the elevated tram. The airport has a two thousand

The 800-meter runway can take off and land twin-engine medium-range wide-body passenger aircraft such as Boeing 767 and Airbus A300, and naturally also includes MD90 passenger aircraft. And because it is at sea, as long as the weather permits, the takeoff and landing of aircraft are not affected by anything.

Disturbance to the field of vision. More importantly, this can eliminate various protests from residents around the airport. The noise of aircraft taking off and landing will not affect local residents, and the airport can be open day and night.

If it is said that Kobe Airport can be taken over and used for short- and medium-distance international transportation routes...Fang Mingyuan is really interested. International routes have always had relatively high profit margins, whether for passenger or freight transport. Moreover, Kobe is an international trade port in Japan.

One of the cities with a population of nearly two million, it is located in the Keihanshin metropolitan area, not far from Osaka and Kyoto, Japan. It has rich tourism resources and strong production capacity, and its economic strength is also very strong. If Osaka is to be used

The Keihanshin metropolitan area with the center as the center is regarded as a city with a population of nearly 20 million people, which is second only to the capital area with Tokyo as the center in Japan!

Owning the operating rights of an airport in such a city circle is undoubtedly of great significance for developing the international business of Qinxi Airlines and Kowloon Airlines, and it can not only provide Qinxi Airlines and Kowloon Airlines with

Services can also provide flight services to other domestic airlines, thereby further opening up the domestic and Japanese aviation markets!

Japan is an important hub in the global air transport network. Its market size exceeds 60 billion US dollars, its annual passenger volume exceeds 134 million, and its cargo transportation exceeds one million tons. For such a large market,

Domestic airlines are salivating but cannot get in. But now, the Kobe City Government has personally presented Fang Mingyuan with a big gift. Although the door is not big, it is extremely meaningful.

"Yes, why not?" Fang Mingyuan immediately made up his mind and said, although he himself did not know how this decision would develop in the future, but such a rare opportunity would not appear again and again easily. Even if it failed, today's

The Fang family is fully capable of taking on the responsibility, and it won’t hurt their bones and muscles. (To be continued.) h211
