Fan Wuzhi is still satisfied with the operation and management of the branch. After having lunch with the branch executives and employee representatives, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, at this time, He Qingyuan, secretary of the provincial party committee of Donghai Province, personally called and invited them to inspect the port construction of Jiangshan Port.
Regarding the port construction of Jiangshan Port, Fan's Investment Group has also invested a lot of money, and so far, a total of more than 2 billion yuan has been invested.
For such a construction project, the scope is not also to see the situation.
Therefore, at four o'clock in the afternoon, Fan Wuxi's convoy converged with He Qingyuan's convoy, and then set off to rush to the construction base of Jiangshan Port.
At this time, it was already August, and it was also the hottest stage of the climate, when I was in the car, the air conditioner was always on, and when the team reached the base, I pushed the door and found that the heat wave was rolling in.
"I think I'd better stay in the carβ" Shen Ying said to Fan Wuxian.
Fan Wuxi took a look at Shen Ying, and saw that the clothes she was wearing were also relatively thin, if she stayed outside for a while in this weather, she was afraid that the thin clothes would be wet immediately due to sweat, and it would be easy to go. So he nodded and said, "Then you can stay here, you have some cold drinks in the car, and let them get you whatever you need." β
"Got it-" Shen Ying nodded, smiled and waved his hand, "Go quickly, let the secretary of the provincial party committee wait, it's not very good-looking." β
Fan Wuxian laughed, then closed the car door, walked onto the construction wharf on the side of the port, met with He Qingyuan and others who had arrived in advance, and then went to the base to inspect the progress of the project.
In fact, the construction of Jiangshan Port began to start when Fan Heng was in Jiangnan Province, but the port construction is a major event, it cannot be achieved overnight, with the financial support of Fan's Investment Group, Donghai Province has also benefited a lot, and some of the ports can be put into use.
Hundreds of thousands of tons of steamers from Australia transport refined iron ore powder or iron products that have been preliminarily smelted in Indonesia, and then transport them to a precision smelting plant in Jiangnan Province by other means of transportation to process them into various steel products for use by various companies under the Fan's Investment Group.
In addition to the construction of seaports, most of the port construction projects under construction on the Yangtze River trunk line this year are progressing smoothly and the quality of the projects is generally good, and most of the port projects are in the final stage, except for a few projects that have failed to complete the plan due to bank loans and port site changes. A total of 250 million yuan was invested throughout the year. Eight freight facilities have been built, 16 new port freight berths of more than 1,000 tons, 13 million tons of annual throughput capacity of the new port, two passenger facilities have been built, 4 million passengers have been sent to the new port, three warehouses have been built, and the construction area of the new warehouse is more than 10,000 square meters.
Such as the second phase of the Jiulongpo port area of Chongqing Port, the first phase of the Hongxigou project of Wanxian Port, the passenger facilities project of Chenglingji Port, the general cargo terminal project of Shishou Port, the second phase of the foreign trade terminal project of Jiujiang Port, the first phase of the Nizhou Port area of Chizhou Port, the second phase of the Wulimiao project of Anqing Port, the special wharf project of copper refined sand in Tongling Port, the reconstruction project of Yuxikou Coal Wharf in Wuhu Port, the construction project of Ma'anshan Port Foreign Trade Wharf, the passenger station project of Nanjing Port, the expansion project of Yizheng Oil Port Petrochemical Wharf in Nanjing Port, Most of the projects have been completed and entered the final stage.
Among them, due to changes in the market, the original approved inland berths will be transformed into 10,000-ton berths, and the expansion project of the second half of the old wharf of Yichang Port and the preliminary design of the Xinshengwei Automobile Ro-Ro Terminal of Nanjing Port have also been approved by the Ministry of Communications, and construction will start soon.
With the continuous improvement of port facilities in the main stream of the Yangtze River, ports, as infrastructure, will play an important role in the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
Standing on top of the newly built wharf, looking at the vast sea and the various ships running in the distance, they all looked a little emotional, He Qingyuan said to Fan Wuxi, "In the newly revised Catalogue for the Guidance of Foreign Investment in Industries, the state has relaxed the equity restrictions on foreign investment in ports and abolished the requirement for Chinese shareholders to hold public terminals. The proportion of foreign investment in port enterprises can be increased to more than 51 percent. In the Port Law, which is currently being revised, it has been clearly stated that the state encourages domestic and foreign economic organizations and individuals to invest in the construction and operation of ports in accordance with the law to protect the legitimate rights and interests of investors. The greatest impact of the promulgation of the Port Law is that it clarifies the rights and obligations of port operators, protects the legitimate rights and interests of port operators, and opens up to foreign capital and private capital to the greatest extent. β
Fan Wuxian nodded, knowing very well what the significance of this was.
As we all know, with the comprehensive opening up of the country and the gradual introduction of the competition mechanism, there are very few high-profit industries, and the port industry is one of the few high-profit industries in China, and its correlation with the national economy is as high as about one percent. With the continuous reform of the port management system and the gradual relaxation of investment policies, the strong Chinese and foreign capital has shown a bit of aggressiveness.
Statistics from the Ministry of Communications show that in the first half of last year alone, the eight major ports of Shanghai, Ningbo, Tianjin, Lianyungang, Qinhuangdao, Qingdao, Xiamen, and Guangzhou made a total profit of 800 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 40 percent.
Last year, the average earnings per share of the eight port companies in the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets were more than three cents, and both the absolute value of performance and the growth rate were in the forefront of various industries. Last year, the cargo throughput of ports above designated size in the country reached about 3 billion tons, and the foreign trade and container throughput grew rapidly.
"For more than 10 years, the annual growth rate of China's port container business has reached more than 30 percent, and it is expected that by 2010, China's port coastal throughput alone will reach 4 billion tons, of which the container business will reach more than 100 million tons, and by 20 years, the container business will exceed 200 million tons." He Qingyuan said to Fan Wuxi, "Obviously, the development prospects and strong profitability of the domestic port industry will undoubtedly become the target of foreign capital competition for a long period of time in the future." Fan was able to set foot in this field earlier and made great achievements, so it can be said that Mr. Fan has a great vision. β
"Hehe, Secretary He is polite, but there is a need for this, so he is in a hurry to engage in construction." Fan Wuxian smiled politely and said to He Qingyuan, "Our business has requirements for this, and Donghai Province has the convenience of geographical advantages, so we have this cooperation, and now it seems that it is still very pleasant." β
At present, three of the world's four largest port groups, Hong Kong Hutchison Huangpu, Singapore Port Group and Denmark's Maersk, have begun to sharpen their knives and prepare to get involved in the domestic port merger and acquisition battle, while Taiwan's Evergreen, Orient Overseas and other giants have also set their sights on Xiamen, Tianjin, Dalian and other ports.
It is not difficult to imagine that once the policy is liberalized, all kinds of capital will gather on the coast of the mainland and seize the port one after another.
"However, judging from the current situation, although the country has been prepared for policy opening, the actual operation involves the interests of all parties, and there should be no major changes within two years. This is also a good opportunity for Mr. Fan. He Qingyuan said to Fan Wuxian, "In fact, in addition to Jiangshan Port, there are many high-quality ports in Donghai Province that can be developed. β
After listening to He Qingyuan's words, Fan Wuxian smiled, just nodded, and didn't say anything.
He Qingyuan is also an understanding person, he mentioned it slightly, and seeing that Fan Wuxian didn't want to say anything more about this issue for the time being, he didn't bother himself, but just walked along the construction site with Fan Wuxi. Say hello to a passing worker from time to time.
The accompanying TV reporters used cameras and cameras to capture these shots in a timely manner, and it was obvious that the key news of the provincial party secretary's inspection of the Jiangshan Port construction project would appear in the evening news.
Fan Wuxian walked with He Qingyuan, and there were many questions in his heart.
It was not until 1987 that the container port was built for the first time with foreign capital, but its development speed is not very fast, so far there are only dozens of port joint venture projects, and the total investment has not exceeded 10 billion yuan, of which less than half is foreign capital.
Due to the influence of the policy level, there is not a single port project for the construction and operation of foreign direct investment, and even if the policy has been loosened now, there is still some time buffer to be implemented.
The port construction of Donghai Province does have many advantages, especially this is a deep-water port, the construction cost is relatively low, not to mention, the port can berth ships with a larger tonnage after completion, which is particularly important for Fan Wuji's ocean-going fleet, so at that time Fan Wuxian would choose to build a port project in Donghai Province, and now it seems that it is very prescient.
When everyone was talking, they saw the 100,000-ton giant ship in the distance slowly driving over, and slowly approached the dock under the guidance of the navigator, and the container dismantling device on the port immediately became busy, constantly lifting the containers on the ship from the ship, and then transferring them to the dock.
In a matter of hours, these containers will be heading where they need to go, thanks to their strong land capacity.
When Fan Wuxian saw this scene, he couldn't help but be a little touched, because those large-scale port handling equipment were actually produced by Fan's.
There are no pop-ups
