Although Bao Feiyang is a staunch supporter of the outlying island deep-water port plan, he does not object to the construction plan of Gaoqiao New Port, after all, even if the outlying island deep-water port plan is approved now, the funds are in place, and the entire construction period will be relatively long, in contrast, whether it is the third phase of the Gaoqiao Port area, or the fourth and fifth phases of the Gaoqiao New Port, the construction period is much shorter, and it can be completed and put into use in two to three years under normal circumstances.

However, even if the new port of Gaoqiao is completed and the container handling capacity of Pujiang Port reaches 14 million TEUs, it will not be enough. The container throughput of Pujiang Port can now reach a growth rate of nearly 40 percent, 3 million the year before last, 4.2 million last year, more than 5 million this year, and more than 6 million next year.

At that time, Pujiang Port can maintain such a growth rate, and the annual increase will not be more than one million TEUs, but 2 million TEUs, or even 3 million or 4 million TEUs. This sounds a bit exaggerated, after all, it is difficult for anyone to believe that Pujiang Port can maintain a growth rate of more than 40 percent, from the perspective of marginal benefits, it is normal to grow fast at the beginning, and then the growth rate will slow down, which is growth.

Ten years later, Pujiang Port is not the third largest port in the world, but the world's largest port, and the annual container throughput has exceeded that of Xincheng and Xingang, reaching more than 20 million TEUs, which is six or seven times as much as it is now.

If you consider the level of 10 million TEU, Gaoqiao New Port is the best choice, but if you consider 20 million or 30 million TEU, Gaoqiao New Port can only be a transitional plan.

However, Hou Ronghua obviously does not have such considerations, he believes that after the completion of the Gaoqiao New Port Area, coupled with the transformation of the existing major port areas of Pujiang Port, Expansion, as well as the dredging of the Tianjiang waterway, the container throughput capacity of Pujiang Port will exceed 15 million TEU in the future, thus ranking among the top three in the world, but it is still difficult to impact the world's largest port, after all, the world's largest port and the second largest port of Xingang and Xincheng are now only about 16 million TEU, and the annual increase is not more than 1 million TEU, and it can reach at least 25 million TEU in ten years.

It should be said that Hou Ronghua's plan now has far exceeded the original Pujiang City's most optimistic plan for Gaoqiao New Port District, according to the original plan, the fifth phase of the Gaoqiao New Port project will not be completed until 2020, after the completion of the entire Gaoqiao Port Area, including the original port area and the new port area The throughput capacity will reach more than 50 million tons, including 5 million TEU. It was proposed in 99 and was relatively conservative, but Hou Ronghua directly doubled the construction scale of Gaoqiao New Port, and the throughput of Gaoqiao Port can even hit 10 million TEUs, which should also be about the changes brought by Ma Xi and Xingang Group.

After Hou Ronghua's report ended, the moderator invited Jill Smith, Vice President of Maersk Asia Pacific, Li Baohe, President of Greater China of Metro Port Group, Cheng Kewu, General Manager of Pujiang Company of Huayuan Group, and Qian Zaixiang, Executive Deputy Mayor of Chundong New Area, to carry out dialogue and exchanges on the construction project of Gaoqiao New Port Area and the construction of Pujiang International Shipping Center.

The first to speak was Qian Zaixiang, executive deputy head of Chundong New District: "The construction of Pujiang International Shipping Center will be the rise of an international container hub port in China, and together with the new port that has become an international shipping center, it will become an important node for the integration of China's economy and the world economy, and will also play a huge role in Pujiang becoming an international economic center city, and the construction of Gaoqiao New Port will also become a key issue related to Pujiang becoming an international shipping center, and ultimately determine the positioning of Pujiang City in the new century." ”

Qian Zaixiang said: "Throughout the history of the development of Pujiang City, we can see that Pujiang is relying on the port and shipping industry to gradually develop, shipping is the main condition for the development of Pujiang, and the development of Pujiang provides the possibility for the rise of Pujiang shipping center, as the so-called city to the port to prosper, the port to help the city to prosper......

Qian Zaixiang said loudly: "Chundong New Area has determined the construction plan of the three major ports, these three ports are the information port, the airport port, and the deep-water port, and the deep-water port is to build the Gaoqiao port area and the new port area into the main port area of Pujiang Port, the construction of the Gaoqiao new port will be synchronized with the renovation of the Tianjiangkou channel, with ten to twenty years, the Tianjiangkou channel will be doubled, to reach a water depth of 12.5 meters, and the deep-water port of 10 million TEU level will be built......"

Qian Zaixiang said that Chundong New Area will vigorously support the Tianjiangkou waterway improvement project and the construction of Gaoqiao New Port, and then Maersk and Huayuan Group also stated on behalf of the shipping company that they will increase liners to support the construction of Gaoqiao New Port, and expressed optimism about the prospects of Gaoqiao New Port. Li Baohe of Seazen Port Group expressed Seazenport's optimism about Gaoqiao Xingang and its intention to cooperate with Pujiang Port Group......

The whole process of discussion is very exciting, and it seems that Pujiang has become an international shipping center within reach, and the situation is very good.

Xu Minyi sat next to Bao Feiyang, his face was very ugly, although a forum can not represent the city's decision-making, but to a large extent can reflect the current trend of the city, this officially sponsored forum, basically there is only one theme, that is, the construction of Pujiang Shipping Center and Gaoqiao New Port, from this situation, the construction plan of Gaoqiao New Port has basically been determined.

When it came to the question session, Bao Feiyang also raised his hand, and until the third question, Qian Zaixiang took the initiative to say: "I saw our youngest district mayor in Pujiang City, and Bao Feiyang, the head of Huixun District, also raised his hand, Feiyang District Mayor, if you have any questions, put them forward and we will discuss them together!"

Bao Feiyang smiled slightly, stood up and said, "I have gained a lot from participating in this forum today. In particular, I have just heard that Mr. Hou and all of you are looking forward to the construction of Gaoqiao New Port and Pujiang International Shipping Center, and I am also very excited. But there's one question I'd like to ask......"

"As we all know, China has become the world's manufacturing power, Huaxia manufacturing has become a phenomenon, and this phenomenon is still spreading to more areas, to some extent, Huaxia has become the center of the world's manufacturing industry, a large number of products are manufactured here, and then sent to the world, Pujiang Port as an example, Pujiang Port in recent years container throughput has increased by about 40% every year, which means that if Pujiang Port can maintain this growth rate, the container throughput will double every two years, the year before three million, last year 4.2 million, next year 5.6 million, the year after 7 million, even if the growth rate will be adjustedTen years later, the container throughput of Pujiang Port will not be 10 million TEU, or even 20 million TEU, but 30 million TEU......"
