Li Jianhui, Li Jianyang, Chen Zongxue and others, who were full of energy, held talks with senior officials in the Guocheng area on the morning of the 18th.

At the meeting, Li Jianhui said: "Thank you to the Guocheng District Government for its concern and help over the past few days, and also to the government for its understanding of us."

District Secretary Wang Lijie also responded politely, and also expressed his gratitude to Xiangjiang guests for their charitable donations, and promised that these donations will be used for designated projects, and will never allow the noodle department to be used for other purposes, and will not tolerate corruption.

A donation situation appears.

After some polite exchanges, the two sides got down to the main topic today, the focus of which was the Guocheng Airport issue.

Du Songhai, deputy commissioner in charge of transportation, said: "Thank you very much for your concern about transportation in our region. We also know very well that the old and backward Guocheng Airport is increasingly unable to meet the needs of air transportation.

We have also been hoping to build a new airport on the east bank of the Jialing River to change the current situation.

It’s just that the airport is under the direct jurisdiction of the Civil Aviation Administration of China. Although we have communicated several times, we have not received a good response so far.”

Guocheng also hopes to form a joint venture with Xiangjiang Capital to build a large airport, but they cannot make the decision at all in this regard.

And they also know that Xinhui Infrastructure Investment Company, a subsidiary of Li Jianhui, has jointly applied with Guangdong Province to jointly build Pengcheng Airport, but there is still no progress. It will be more difficult for them to get a joint venture here.

"Secretary Wang, I am also aware of some of the situations we are currently facing, and I personally support the government's proposal to build a new airport east of the Jialing River.

We are not planning a joint venture this time. A number of charitable foundations under our Donghua Economic Cooperation Association will donate a total of HK$500 million to it over two years to build an airport capable of taking off and landing Airbus A320s and Boeing 747s. We hope

This airport can be directly managed by your region. I wonder if you can win this project?"

The leaders of these regions present were very excited. A donation of 500 million Hong Kong dollars for a single project would rank among the best in the country.

And with these 500 million Hong Kong dollars, the land cost is almost negligible to the government, which is enough for them to build a relatively large airport at the prefectural level.

Even from the perspective of cost saving, there is no need to build a too tall terminal building for the time being. The main funds can be spent on runways and parking spaces so that the current large passenger aircraft Boeing 747 can take off and land.

Li Jianhui put forward his request for this purpose. According to the airport classification standards of later generations, the position that can take off a full-weight Boeing 747 is the 4E level.

If you want to build a 4E-level airport with complete supporting facilities, HK$500 million is obviously not enough. But if you focus on construction, it will be no problem to take off Boeing 747, but the supporting facilities are relatively poor.

Naturally, it is impossible to rely entirely on donations from the Tung Wah Association. The Guocheng area and above should also contribute some funds. After all, this airport is not invested and operated by the Tung Wah Association.

Wang Lijie said with some excitement: "Thank you very much for your support to our Guocheng. With your donation, even if I am not a good secretary, we will build a new airport and put this airport under our regional management."

.”

Considering that the financial resources of Guocheng are indeed limited, in order to better promote the construction of this airport.

Li Jianhui said: "For the construction of this airport in Guocheng, our Xinjian Bank is willing to provide the Guocheng government with a low-interest loan of one billion Hong Kong dollars."

Wang Lijie did not expect that Li Jianhui would be so determined to support the establishment of a new airport in Guocheng. He not only donated HK$500 million, but also provided a loan of HK$1 billion.

Valley

If he still can't get the project to build a new airport, he won't be able to face the millions of people in Guocheng area.

"I am very grateful to Mr. Li for his support to his hometown. I also promise here that within this year, we will definitely get the new airport project and officially start construction early next year. We will strive to be open to navigation on September 3, 1985, 40 years after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

New Year’s Gift.”

Li Jianhui also promised that after the opening of the airport, Xiangjiang Airlines will launch flights from Xiangjiang to Guocheng, making Guocheng the fourth city in the southwest that can fly directly to Xiangjiang.

In addition, Li Jianhui also expressed that Xiangjiang Airlines is willing to establish a joint venture airline with the Guocheng government.

It's just that in this regard, Wang Lijie's own family understands that an airport is already full of difficulties, and only with the strong support of Li Jianhui and the Donghua Association can there be hope.

Don't even think about airlines now. Even the province has not established a civil aviation company, and it is even more impossible to do so in Guocheng.

And he knew very well that establishing an airline was not that easy, especially since the current market in Guocheng was so small that it simply could not support a civil aviation company.

Seeing this, Li Jianhui gave up the plan for the time being. He still looked at whether there would be opportunities to invest in Sichuan Airlines, Ludao Airlines, and Pengcheng Airlines in the future. These companies have relatively good development prospects in the future.

After the meeting, Guocheng District immediately held an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee to discuss the issue of Guocheng's new airport and assigned tasks.

Wang Lijie said in a loud voice: "Comrades, this opportunity is extremely rare. Li Jianhui is willing to help his hometown so selflessly, making a large donation and providing us with low-interest loans.

If we cannot build a new airport even in this way, it will not only appear that we are incompetent, but it will also chill the hearts of our compatriots who love their hometown thousands of miles away.

I will now assign tasks. For the provincial government, Comrade Zhenggang, who is in charge of routine work, and the director of the Transportation Bureau will be responsible for communicating with the Civil Aviation Bureau and ministries. Comrade Guohua and Comrade Lianghong, who are responsible for transportation work, will be responsible for communication.

I will also personally report to the Provincial Party Committee and seek support from the Provincial Party Committee for this project, and do my best to ensure that the new airport can be officially put into operation on September 3 of the next year."

Everyone present supports this allocation. They also hope that the new airport can be built, which will not only improve the transportation layout of Guocheng area, but also be a heavy political achievement. They naturally hope that this project will be completed while they are in office.

Moreover, Li Jianhui, the most difficult financial issue of this project, has helped them solve it. The only problem now is whether the Civil Aviation Administration is willing to let the new airport be managed by the Guocheng government.

However, they believe that considering the identities and requirements of Li Jianhui and others, the higher authorities will not embarrass them, and they may try their best to speed up the construction of this project and make it a model project.

Maybe the higher authorities will subsidize some funds to directly build a top domestic civil aviation airport.

Now it is not that many years later, there is no 4F, and it is the top airport that can take off and land Boeing 747.

According to their communication with Li Jianhui, the new airport will handle Boeing 747s. However, due to funding reasons, their supporting facilities cannot compare with those top airports.
