Chapter 1160: Revisiting Cooperation
On the morning of the next day, the joint venture agreement of Rongguo-Chongqing Expressway was officially signed in Rongcheng, and many high-level officials of the Sichuan and Shu Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government were present.
At the same time, a number of provincial departments and China Railway No. 2, China Railway No. 8, Provincial No. 1 Construction, Provincial No. 2 Construction, Provincial No. 5 Construction, Rongcheng No. 1 Construction, Shuangqing No. 1 Construction, Shuangqing No. 2 Construction, Guocheng No. 1 Construction and other large construction companies attended the signing ceremony.
There is no bidding ceremony now, and the construction of the expressway will be allocated directly according to the bid section, and the Kowloon Group will arrange relevant personnel to supervise the quality of each bid section.
Therefore, today is not only the chairman of the board of directors of Kowloon Group, Chief Executive Officer Du Yuemei and the Sichuan and Shu Provincial Government signed a joint venture company agreement, but also the director of Kowloon Group, Zhou Faxiang, general manager of Rongguoyu Expressway, will also sign tender construction contracts with a number of construction units.
The high-level officials of Sichuan and Shu Province know very well that Li Guangyu cannot stay here for too long, so all preparations are very well prepared, such as the issue of company registration, all the procedures have been prepared for a long time, and only Du Yuemei and Zhou Faxiang need to sign, and the various bids have been drawn out last night.
According to the degree of difficulty of construction, the bidding sections of several major control projects were assigned to several companies such as China Railway No. 2, China Railway No. 8, Provincial No. 1 Construction and Provincial No. 2 Construction.
In particular, the section from Baibei to Hezhou, which contains the most important control project, will be constructed by the Second Bureau of China Railway, and the section from Shuangqing City to Baibei will be constructed by the Eighth Bureau of China Railway.
Sign the contract today, tomorrow morning will hold the Rongguo-Chongqing Expressway groundbreaking ceremony, this highway will bring a lot of benefits to Sichuan and Shu Province, not to mention the future benefits, just the investment and construction of this high-speed can drive the development of many industries.
In the afternoon, Li Guangyu held talks again with the executive vice governor of the Sichuan-Shu provincial government.
The main topics discussed this time are cooperation in the fields of power generation, fresh fruit procurement, and air transportation.
Sichuan and Shu Province has been committed to building Rongcheng Airport into one of the country's aviation center hubs, but at present, there is a huge gap between Chengdu's international flights from Beijing, Shanghai and Huacheng, and they hope to reach more cooperation with Xiangjiang Airlines.
They know Xiangjiang Airlines very well, and some of the main hub airports include Xiangjiang, Taoyuan, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Vancouver, and Sao Paulo and London, covering many important cities in East Asia, Southeast Asia, Europe, North America and South America.
Li Guangyu said: "Deputy Chief Chen, Rongcheng Airport is the largest aviation hub in southwest China, and we have been strengthening the layout of domestic routes in recent years, with flights from Xiangjiang to Rongcheng from one week to four flights a week, flights from Kuala Lumpur to Rongcheng and Bangkok to Rongcheng from one flight a week to three flights a week now, and one flight a week from Vancouver to Rongcheng via Tokyo.
At the same time, Cathay Pacific Airways has also opened routes from Singapore to Chengdu and Kuala Lumpur to Chengdu, with three flights per week, and we will continue to encrypt these routes according to the changes in passenger flow in the future, and will also consider adding new direct routes to Chengdu. ”
Of course, Li Guangyu also hopes to increase the layout of routes in Rongcheng, but unfortunately because of the passenger flow and hub base, he cannot have too many direct routes to Chengdu, unless Xiangjiang Airlines can establish its own maintenance and support base at Rongcheng Airport, otherwise it is difficult to have dozens or hundreds of routes like Xiangjiang and Taoyuan.
Li Guangyu has always hoped to become his main hub airport at several large hub airports in the mainland, but unfortunately it has not been successful so far, and I don't know if there will be such opportunities in the future.
Vice Chief Chen knows what restricts the layout of Heung Kong Airlines in Chengdu, and their government already has some ideas in this regard.
He said loudly: "Mr. Li, you must already know that we formally established Sichuan Shu Airlines last year, headquartered in Rongcheng Airport, and it is expected that the route will be officially opened next year for operation, and we hope to be able to establish a joint venture with Xiangjiang Aircraft Engineering Company in Rongcheng Airport to fly Rongcheng Aircraft Engineering Company to serve commercial aircraft in Chengdu and even in the southwest region." ”
Li Guangyu has no opinion on such cooperation, and it is not Rongcheng who is negotiating with him at present, but Shanghai and Huadu are discussing this issue.
Li Guangyu said: "Deputy Chief Chen, I will arrange for the senior management of Heung Kong Air Transport Group to come and discuss with you in detail, and I am very happy to reach cooperation between the two sides in this regard." ”
As for the issue of establishing a base for the Hong Kong Airlines at the Rongcheng Airport, Li Guangyu did not mention that it was almost impossible, and there was no precedent for an airline outside the mainland to set up a base in the mainland, even if the Hong Kong Airlines were from the mainland.
In the future, the mainland will be the world of the three major air transport groups, and it is almost impossible for Heung Kong Airlines to open up routes in the mainland.
Moreover, the development orientation of Xiangjiang Airlines is aimed at the world, and the main operations are transnational routes, with the current hub base as the support, it is enough to ensure that Xiangjiang Airlines is one of the world's top airlines.
Li Guangyu is still waiting for the opportunity, and in the future, he will also build aviation bases in Central and Eastern Europe and Australia, so that his layout will be more perfect.
As long as he has a perfect layout in the periphery, it is relatively easier to open international routes to the mainland, especially the direct flights from Xiangjiang, Taoyuan and London to the major hub airports in the mainland, these routes are enough for the development of Xiangjiang Airlines.
Then the two sides on the power station issues were negotiated, the current mainland for electricity is very lacking, Sichuan and Shu Province is a large source of water, with a number of rivers and rivers, very suitable for the development of hydropower, and now the main problem that plagues them is the problem of funds, Sichuan and Shu Province hopes to introduce foreign funds, joint venture to establish a hydropower station, to promote the economic development of Sichuan and Shu Province.
In this regard, Li Guangyu actually hopes that the Heung Kong Electric Light Group will come to negotiate, but now the shareholders behind the Heung Kong Electric Light Group are indeed relatively tight, and there is a Singapore consortium behind him, and Li Guangyu himself is the main investor in Sichuan and Shu Province, so Li Guangyu simply classified this aspect into the Kowloon Group.
Sichuan and Shu Province has long been prepared for the project to cooperate with Li Guangyu, and the ability to cooperate is within the scope of Sichuan and Shu Province's financial support.
According to the design of Sichuan and Shu Province, the investment amount is about 3.5 billion yuan, with an installed capacity of 500,000 kilowatt hours, and after the establishment of this power station, it can effectively alleviate the problem of insufficient power supply in Shuangqing.
This is just the first cooperation, and more hydropower stations will be built in Sichuan and Shu Province in the future, especially in the Dadu River Basin, where there is a large drop, which is more conducive to the construction of power stations.
Li Guangyu said: "Deputy Chief Chen, on the issue of Caojie Power Station, the Kowloon Group will investigate it, and we at the Kowloon Group are very willing to invest in the mainland's high-speed, electricity, and even gas, water and other infrastructure facilities. ”
Li Guangyu's favorite thing is to invest in these, although the initial investment is a little larger, but the later income is stable, there is no risk, and the cash flow is very abundant.
It's a pity that it is still difficult for him to meddle in electricity distribution, city gas, and even urban tap water business, especially in inland provinces such as Sichuan and Shu Province.
Now you can invest in the power station, whether it can be profitable, Li Guangyu is still not very clear, anyway, in the previous life, it was rumored that the power generation investment company was losing money, mainly because of the electricity price.
Li Guangyu tried the Caojie Power Station, and after it was completed, he looked at the annual profits, and if the results were good, he would continue to invest in this area, and if the results were not satisfactory, forget it.
