Chapter 1874: Follow-up Development

The mentality is different, and the attitude of the person will be different.

In the past, when it came to the deep-water ports of Dayangshan Island and Pujiang, Tongcheng people always felt that their pirates should not be occupied by Pujiang City in vain, and Pujiang City could also build a port on the island of Tongcheng, but the taxes and fees of the port must be shared with Tongcheng.

A large container port, even if the transshipment rate is extremely low, the tax revenue of the entire port area is also extremely considerable, including the shipping company that is docked and registered in the port also needs to pay taxes and fees every year.

In the past, the biggest obstacle in Pujiang's communication with Tongcheng City was the issue of taxes and fees. In terms of port taxes and fees, Pujiang City is still able to accept the participation of Tongcheng City in a part of the profits. However, according to the policy of the free port, there are not many taxes and fees in the port area, mainly for Hong Kong-related enterprises, and these companies are registered in Pujiang City, and the taxes and fees are naturally paid in Pujiang, and it is impossible for Pujiang to agree to the city to take away this part of the taxes and fees.

On this issue, in the past, Tongcheng people thought that Pujiang City was not kind, and charged less in the port area, and finally charged at the company level, so that Tongcheng City could not benefit from it, so Tongcheng's opinions were very large.

With the start of construction of Gaoqiao New Port and the basic determination of the Hengsha artificial island plan, the mentality of Tongcheng people has also changed. Now the problem is not whether the people of Pujiang are willing to share the income of the deep-water port to Tongcheng, but that Pujiang City wants to get it by itself and not take Tongcheng to play, and the people of Tongcheng feel very disappointed for a while.

Now there is an exchange between Tongcheng and Pujiang on the big and small Yangshan Islands, but the people of Tongcheng no longer have the idea that you can't do without me in the past, and their mentality has changed. Coupled with a series of good news brought by cooperation, Tongcheng people pay more attention to the benefits they can get, as for Pujiang City...... There is no news that Pujiang will start plans to build a deep-water port on the islands, but in any case, the more realistic benefits of these collaborations are the ...... That's just two desert islands, anyway, no matter whether Pujiang City is building a deep-water port there, in fact, it has little to do with them ordinary people, if there is, it is also if Pujiang City can build an international shipping center, Tongcheng City, as the closest city to Pujiang Port, will definitely be able to share the radiation effect of the shipping center and get faster development......

In the media of Pujiang, it is still emphasized that the construction plan of Gaoqiao New Port will not change, and the Hengsha artificial island plan will also be the priority choice for the construction of a deep-water port in Pujiang, but the city also said that it will conduct further research on the feasibility of building a deep-water port on Dayangshan Island as an alternative.

"After the agreement between Pujiang City and Jiangbei Province is reached, the economic, social and cultural ties between Pujiang and Tongcheng will be closer, which is conducive to promoting the economic integration of the Tianjiang Delta and the formation of the Pujiang metropolitan area......

In contrast, most Pujiang people do not pay attention to the gains and losses of Beishazhou, the cooperation and integration with Tongcheng, the transfer and upgrading of industries itself is something that Pujiang City is actively promoting, and many people from all walks of life have expressed optimism and appreciation for this cooperation.

At the time of the official disclosure of the news, Pujiang City and Jiangbei Province reached a series of cooperation, including the exchange plan between Beishazhou and Xiaoyangshan Island and related sea areas, has been approved by the relevant state departments, although there are some specific work next, such as surveying and mapping and demarcation, but the matter has basically been decided, in the future, Beishazhou and adjacent sandbanks belong to Tongbei City, and Xiaoyangshan and several surrounding islands and sea areas belong to Pujiang City.

In this case, Bao Feiyang invited the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Tongqi University, and Pujiang Ocean University to set up a joint research project to study the engineering issues of the construction of deep-water ports on Xiaoyangshan Island, as well as environmental issues, regional shipping impact issues, economic issues, and so on.

Nominally, this is to carry out preliminary research on the large and small Yangshan Islands as an alternative for the construction of deep-water ports. However, Bao Feiyang's requirements for related topics are very high, Bao Feiyang's requirements are that the deep-water ports of Yangshan Island will either not be built, and if they are to be built, they must aim at the world's best deep-water ports, not only with Gaoqiao New Port, but also with the Hengsha Island plan, but also with Busan, Kaohsiung, Xingang and Xincheng These ports, we must come up with the best plan.

At the exchange meeting, Xu Guangchen, a professor at HKUST, smiled bitterly: "Xingang is going to have a hard time. ”

Bao Feiyang smiled and shook his head: "Professor Xu, the rise of Pujiang Port has an impact on Xingang, but the impact is not fatal, the biggest problem of Xingang is actually the rapid development of the surrounding ports such as Shencheng Port and Yangcheng Port, most of the containers in Xingang come from the south, and Yangcheng and Shencheng are the two cities with the most developed manufacturing industry in the south, and their goods are out of the port nearby, and the volume of goods in Xingang will be reduced......"

"Although the service of Xingang is better and the customs clearance efficiency is higher, but the labor of Shencheng and Yangcheng is lower, and the transportation into the port is more convenient. ”

Xu Guangchen nodded: "Shencheng and Yangcheng are the most direct influences, but the impact of Pujiang Port is actually very large. At present, most of the trunk flights from the north to Europe or the south to the Americas have to call at Xingang, and once Pujiang Port becomes a shipping center, the number of flights calling at Xingang will definitely be reduced......"

Xu Guangchen said: "Compared with Pujiang Port, Shencheng Port and Yangcheng Port, the cargo growth rate of Xingang has been greatly reduced in the past two years, partly due to the impact of the financial crisis, but more importantly due to the rise of mainland ports......

Since the return of Xingang in 97, the development has been unsatisfactory, including in the next 10 years, the development of Xingang is much inferior to that of Pujiang and Shencheng in the mainland. This is not to say that the development of Pujiang and Shencheng has surpassed that of Xingang, but that Xingang is still far superior to Pujiang and Shencheng in terms of internationalization and financial market. Although the state has been promoting some policies that are beneficial to Xingang, the work of Xingang's economic restructuring and transformation has not been able to be completed well.

Of course, there are some problems in Xingang itself, such as the free market policy pursued by the Xingang government, the lack of active intervention and guidance for industrial restructuring and economic development, and the lag and passivity of the market, resulting in Xingang's failure to make timely adjustments in the face of environmental changes.

But the biggest problem of Xingang is actually that the development speed of mainland cities is too fast, and the gap between Xingang and the mainland in all aspects is relatively large, Xingang's housing prices and salary levels are far more than the Shenzhen City next door, so Xingang is not friendly to start-ups, more investment and industries will flock to Shencheng and the mainland, in industry, Xingang has no advantages.

What Xingang needs to do now is to continuously strengthen its own advantages, such as the advantages of finance and capital markets, and the advantages of internationalization.

Including the University of Science and Technology of Hong Kong and the Xingang government jointly launched the Xingang education hub port of the Feiteng plan, Xingang universities will increase the attraction of international students, mainly mainland students, the Feiteng plan also includes the development plan of Xingang high-tech industry, Xingang will take out a piece of land to engage in science and technology entrepreneurship park, but also plans to build a high-tech park in Shencheng, technology research and development, design in Xingang, production, sales and other links in Shencheng.

Xu Guangchen's colleague, Chen Shining, a professor of microelectronics at HKUST, and others initiated the establishment of Xinxin International, which is an enterprise dedicated to integrated circuit manufacturing. Chen Shining has a Ph.D. in microelectronics and materials engineering, is an expert in the field of microelectronics manufacturing, has worked in Texas Instruments and Taihu Semiconductor Electronics in the United States, has an outstanding reputation in the industry, and has a wide range of contacts.

Chen Shining served as the technical consultant of Taihu Semiconductor Electronics, and the boss of Taihu Electronics, the Chinese electronics industry giant Guan Moyi, and Xinxin International also received investment and support from Taihu Semiconductor Electronics.

Xinxin Electronics is currently building a plant in Xingang High-tech Park, but the problem of the plant is easy to solve, and even the technical problem is not big, Fang Xia itself has a certain amount of technical accumulation in this regard, Chen Shining is also an expert in the industry, and he also found a lot of Chinese electronics experts to join, coupled with the support of Taihu Jiti Electronics, the technical reserves of Xinxin Electronics are still very thick.

The biggest problem of Xinxin Electronics is that there are not enough front-line technical engineers, including the number and level, such as integrated circuit manufacturing, high-precision manufacturing, must be led by high-level technical engineers in the production process, and such engineers are treasures no matter which semiconductor company they are in.

There is also a problem is the production of equipment, in the field of semiconductor production, the top technology of production equipment is mainly produced by Japanese companies and Dutch companies, in the past this aspect of the equipment has been implemented a technology embargo on China, although Xingang is not within the scope of the embargo, but after the return of Xingang, the relationship is always more sensitive, the early procurement of Xinxin Electronics is not smooth, only Chen Shining won the support of Taihu Electronics, and opened the supervision of the use of equipment to suppliers, as well as the production situation, the equipment supplier relented, promised to provide equipment to Xinxin Electronics。

However, Xinxin Electronics is currently only able to obtain production equipment for eight-inch wafers, while Semiconductor Electronics has already begun to produce twelve-inch wafers......
