"Solve the problem of the ownership of the outlying islands?" Yang Chenglin shook his head with a wry smile.

"This matter is not so simple, the city has communicated with Jiangbei Province and Tongcheng City, hoping to obtain a suitable small island to build a deep-water port on the outlying island through a certain amount of compensation, and it can also be built through cooperation, but they have all been refused. ”

Bao Feiyang nodded, although it is a country, those desert islands are of no use to Jiangbei Province and Tongcheng City, but when it comes to the adjustment of land, it will always be crowned with the hat of cutting land by some people, in another time and space, Pujiang City also paid a great price, with the support of Jiangbei Province, and obtained the right to use the large and small Yangshan Islands, this matter has been criticized by Jiangbei people on the Internet, thinking that the interests of Jiangbei Province have been betrayed. But in fact, the big and small Yangshan Island for Jiangbei Province, is two desert islands, there is no development action and possibility, and handed over to Pujiang City to use, but in these two small islands built a modern port, although the port income is assigned to the Pujiang side, but Jiangbei Province also got the income of the pilot, as well as a part of the tax share, the same expensive, plus the development of the deep-water port, the development of Jiangbei Province also has a driving role.

The residents of Xiaoyangshan Island are very supportive of the development of the deep-water port, and the development will drive the development of the island, but the residents of the surrounding islands and Tongbei City basically do not agree to lend the Xiaoyangshan Island to Pujiang City to develop a deep-water port, because Jiangbei Province has also proposed a deep-water port plan, and the deep-water port will be built in Tongbei, which Pujiang City will definitely not accept. Once Pujiang City builds a deep-water port on Xiaoyangshan Island, the port of Tongbei City will inevitably be affected, which is why Jiangbei Province and Tongbei City are unwilling to lend the two desert islands.

When it comes to the readjustment of sensitive geographical divisions, more important is the division of interests than the emotional unacceptability of the people. On the one hand, the construction of Yangshan Port did not meet expectations, on the other hand, there was indeed a congestion in Pujiang Port, and a large number of liners needed to queue up to enter the port.

In the early stage of the development of Xiaoyangshan Port and the first four phases of the Yangshan Port project, Jiangbei Province failed to obtain the expected benefits from Yangshan Port after the opening of the port, and repeatedly raised objections to some policies and tax divisions of Yangshan Port, and later even took back the development rights of Dayangshan and proposed to develop it by itself. Although this plan was suspected by Pujiang City and did not receive support from the central government, it greatly slowed down the construction progress of Yangshan Port, so that Yangshan Port did not achieve the expected results.

Of course, Yangshan Port has become a large container throughput port by virtue of its own advantages, but it can only meet the needs of hinterland transportation and cannot make international transshipment, so that Pujiang Port is still very small in international transshipment after 20 years, which also makes the construction of Pujiang International Shipping Center unconvincing.

"Mayor, I'm saying that if we can really solve the issue of the ownership of the island, for example, at a certain cost, let Tongbei City agree to assign a suitable island to our Pujiang City, then can the city support the outlying island plan?" Bao Feiyang said, looking at Yang Chenglin.

"Theoretically speaking, the Hengsha plan does have a certain feasibility, but there are too many uncertain factors, and the construction period is too long, at least more than ten years, and this decade is the ten years of Pujiang Port taking off, and missing this decade is missing the golden decade of Pujiang Port development, so I think the city should not give up the outlying island deep-water port plan!"

In Bao Feiyang's view, the deep-water port on the outlying island does have some limitations, such as no land for industrial development in the port, but this problem is not big, as long as the cross-sea bridge is built, that is, the transportation distance of less than 50 kilometers will be increased, which is not a big problem for container transportation.

In the future, if Pujiang City solves the deep-water port problem in the land block or Hengsha, the deep-water port on the outlying island can also be specially used for water transfer, and the impact of being far away from the land block will be even smaller.

There is another disadvantage of the deep-water port on the outlying islands, that is, the water-water transfer is likely to require three stages of transshipment, that is, a section of the river vessel, a section of the near ocean, and the last section is the ocean. However, with the dredging of the Tianjiang waterway, when the overall depth of the channel below Fenghu Lake is 13.5 meters deep, the future near-ocean cargo ships can directly reach Taicheng and other ports in Jiangnan Province, Tongcheng and other ports in Jiangbei Province, which can send this part of the containers to the outlying islands for transit, and the containers sent by the river ships are directly in the Gaoqiao port area, or the future Hengsha port area for transit, which can ensure that the major port areas are reasonably used and the efficiency reaches the highest.

Therefore, the deep-water port on the outlying islands is not only a plan for Pujiang Port to solve its own deep-water port area as soon as possible, but also a plan for developing international transit business in the future, and it is not an either/or relationship with the Hengsha plan, and there is no fundamental conflict.

Yang Chenglin pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile: "What you said is also reasonable, the city is actually worried that the waterway dredging project and the Hengsha plan will not quench the thirst of the near, if it is possible to solve the ownership problem of the outlying islands, the city will definitely consider restarting the deep-water port plan of the outlying islands!"

"With the mayor's words, I know what to do!" Bao Feiyang nodded and said.

Yang Chenglin looked at Bao Feiyang: "What are you going to do?"

Bao Feiyang smiled and said: "No, I think the city should publicize the Gaoqiao New Port and Hengsha plan a little more, and the Hengsha plan should also have some substantive actions, at least we must put forward the posture that we will start land reclamation in the near future and start construction of Hengsha Deep-water Port as soon as possible." ”

"There's no problem with this!"

Yang Chenglin said: "However, even if this is the case, Tongbei will not be easy to comply, once we reveal our thoughts about the island, they will definitely be wary that what we are doing now is fake, and it is still impossible to easily assign the island to us." ”

Bao Feiyang nodded and said, "Of course it can't be for us to speak, let them take the initiative to speak." ”

Yang Chenglin stared at Bao Feiyang for a moment: "What do you think, you might as well talk about it!"

Bao Feiyang said with a smile: "Those islands outside the Tianjiang Estuary, most of the islands have no value to Tongbei City, at least not now, especially these pirates close to Pujiang City, there are no resources on them, there is no development value, and the transportation is very inconvenient. ”

"Yes, these pirates are really of little value to Tongbei City, but when it comes to land, they know that Pujiang City needs pirates to build a deep-water port on the outlying islands, so they are unwilling to give it to us, even the central government can't directly order them to set aside the place, unless it is for military or state purposes, anyway, there is no possibility of directly transferring it to Pujiang!" said Cheng Sinan, secretary general of the municipal government office.

Bao Feiyang nodded: "That's true." On the other hand, in fact, Tongbei City needs Pujiang more, Tongbei has developed relatively fast in recent years, known as the hometown of construction, mainly involved in the construction of Pujiang City, a large number of Tongbei construction companies and construction workers participated in the construction project in Pujiang, which led to the income growth of local residents, but the local economic development of Tongbei and even Tongcheng City is actually not very large, because of the Tianjiang moat, the industrial interaction and connection between the two places is not so close. ”

Bao Feiyang said: "I have been in contact with the officials of Tongbei, and I feel that they very much want to be in line with Pujiang City, and now the concept of Jiangkou Triangle is very hot, Jiangkou is integrated, and the entire Tongcheng City wants to join in, and Tongcheng has always hoped to build a cross-river bridge between Tongcheng and Pujiang to connect the two cities more closely!"

"Do you want to build a bridge across the river in exchange for the big and small Yangshan mountains?" asked Cheng Sinan.

"In fact, the city has also considered this plan, but first, the difficulty of building bridges downstream is too great, Jiangbei and Jiangnan provinces hope to build bridges on the top, and secondly, the cost of building bridges is relatively high, Jiangbei side hopes that we will pay more, but the bridge fee will be divided equally, and Jiangbei Province is not willing to accept the plan of the bridge for the island, they also hope that we will help them build a port, across a Tianjiang River, we go to the other side to build a port, what is the role of Pujiang City?"

Yang Chenglin said: "Jiangbei Province is unwilling to exchange the bridge for the island, but basically when talking about the conditions, they must add this article!"

In the case of the state's intention to coordinate, Jiangbei Province will not directly and categorically refuse, in the past negotiations, Jiangbei Province also put forward some conditions, but those conditions Pujiang City is simply impossible to accept. Jiangbei Province once proposed that they could agree with the Pugang Group to build a port on the Daxiaoyangshan Mountain, and Pujiang City could also build a sea-crossing bridge, but the Daxiaoyangshan Mountain belongs to Jiangbei Province, so all the powers on the island that should be under the jurisdiction of the government belong to Jiangbei Province, including all kinds of taxes.

Jiangbei Province believes that through this plan, Pujiang Port will have a deep-water port area to meet its own development needs, and Pujiang City's economy and port industry will also benefit from this deep-water port, while Jiangbei Province cannot use this deep-water port, but only collects some taxes and fees, in fact, it is already quite a loss.

Of course, this plan is unacceptable to Pujiang City, although for Pugang Group, the port belongs to Jiangbei or Pujiang, it seems that there is not much difference, but for the government the difference is very big, and the annual tax and fee of the port is not a small amount.
