.Fan Wubing was quite satisfied with the business management of the branch. After the senior executives and employees had lunch on our behalf, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, He Qingyuan, secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Donghai Province, called him and invited them to inspect the port construction situation of Jiangshan Port together.

Regarding the port construction of Jiangshan Port, Fan Investment Group has also invested a lot of money. So far, more than 2 billion yuan has been invested.

For such a construction project, the scope of the project depends on the situation of the stripping.

Therefore, at four o'clock in the afternoon, Fan Wubing's convoy met with He Qingyuan's convoy and then left to the construction base of Jiangshan Port.

It was already August, and it was the hottest stage. When the car was in, the air conditioner was still on. When the convoy reached the base, a bunch of heat waves came to the face.

"I think I'd better stay in the car," Shen Ying said to Fan Wubing.

Fan Wubing looked at Shen Ying and saw that the clothes she was wearing were also thin. If she was watching outside in this weather, she would be afraid that sweat would immediately wet the thin clothes and it would be easy to leave. So she nodded and said, "Then you can stay here. I brought some cold drinks in the car. Let them take whatever you need."

"I understand," Shen Ying nodded and waved with a smile, "Go quickly, let the provincial party secretary wait, it's not very good."

Fan Wubing laughed, then closed the car door, walked into the construction wharf at 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 started when Fan Heng was in Jiangnan Province, but port construction is a big event and 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.

The hundreds of thousands of tons of ships drove from Australia transported refined iron ore powder or iron products initially smelted in Indonesia, and then transported them to the precision smelting factory in Jiangnan Province by other means of transportation, and processed into various steel for use by various companies under Fan's Investment Group.

In addition to the construction of the seaport, the port projects under construction on the Yangtze River main line this year, except for some projects that failed to complete due to bank loans, port site changes, etc., most port construction projects are progressing smoothly, and the project quality is generally good. Most port projects are in the final stage. A total of 250 million yuan of investment was completed throughout the year, eight freight facilities were built, 16 new freight berths at the 1,300 tons of ports were added, 10,000 square meters of new ports were added, two passenger facilities were built, 4 million passengers were added, three warehouses were built, and the construction area of ​​the new warehouse was more than 10,000 square meters.

For example, the second phase of Chongqing Port, Jiulongpo Port Area, the first phase of Hongxigou Port in Wanxian Port, the first phase of Chengling Alan Port passenger transport facility project, the second phase of Shigang Steel Parts Grocery Terminal Project, the second phase of Jiujiang Port Foreign Trade Terminal Project, the first phase of Chizhou Port Nizhou Port, the second phase of Anqing Port Wulimiao Port, the second phase of Tongling Port copper fine sand special terminal project, Wuhu Port Yuxikou Butterfly Terminal reconstruction project, Ma'angong, the construction project of Hong Kong foreign trade terminal, Nanjing Port passenger station project, Nanjing Port Yizheng Oil Port Petrochemical Terminal Expansion Project, Nanjing Port Xinshengwei Foreign Trade Port Area Terminal container, heavy parts operation line technical transformation project, Jiangyin Port Lao Port expansion project, Gaogang Yangwan Port Phase I, etc. Most of the projects have been completed and entered the final stage.

Due to market changes, the originally approved inland berths will be converted into 10,000-ton berths. The construction of the old wharf in Yichang Port is under means. The preliminary design of the Xinshengwei Auto Roll-Ro-Wheel of Nanjing Port has also been approved by the Ministry of Transport and construction will be started soon.

With the continuous improvement of the facilities of the main stream ports of the Yangtze River, ports, as infrastructure, will play an important role in the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

Everyone stood on the newly built dock. Looking at the vast sea surface and the various steamships operating in the distance, they all looked a little emotional. He Qingyuan said to Fan Wubing, "In the newly revised "Guidelines for Foreign Investment Industry", the country relaxed the equity restrictions on foreign-invested ports and canceled the Chinese requirements for Chinese holdings of public docks. The proportion of foreign-invested companies in port enterprises can be increased to more than 51%. In the revised "Port Law", port investment has been clearly stated, and the state encourages domestic and foreign economic organizations and individuals to invest in construction, operate ports in accordance with the law, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of investors. The biggest impact of the promulgation of the "Port Law" is to clarify the rights and obligations of port operators, protect the legitimate rights and interests of port operators, and to the greatest extent possible to open to foreign and private capital."

Fan Wubing nodded, knowing the significance of this.

As we all know, with the gradual rise of domestic opening up and competition mechanisms, there are very few high-profit industries, and the port industry is one of the few high-profit industries in China, which are related to the national economy. As the gradual relaxation of the port management system and the gradual relaxation of investment attraction policies, the strong Chinese and foreign capitals have shown some aggressiveness.

Overall, the prospects for domestic port construction are still very broad. Statistics from the Ministry of Transport show that in the first half of last year alone, the eight major ports in Shanghai, Ningbo, Tianjin, Lianyungang, Qinhuangdao, Qingdao, Xiamen and Guangzhou Ports made a total profit of 800 million yuan, an increase of 40% year-on-year.

Last year, the average earnings per share of eight port companies in the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets were more than 30 cents, ranking among the top in all industries in terms of the absolute value of performance and growth. Last year, the national cargo throughput of ports above a certain scale reached about 3 billion tons, and foreign trade and container throughput grew rapidly.

"In the past ten years, China's port container business has grown annually by more than 30%. It is expected that by 2010, China's ports' coastal throughput alone will reach 4 billion tons, of which the container business will reach more than 100 million tons. In 20 years, the container business will exceed the 200 million tons mark." He Qingyuan said to Fan Wubing. "It is obvious that the development prospects and strong profitability of the domestic port industry will undoubtedly become the target of foreign capital competition for a long time in the future. Fan's family was able to enter this field one step earlier and achieved great achievements. It can be said that Mr. Fan has a broad vision.

"Hehe. Secretary He is polite. It's just that there is a need in this regard, so he is just in a hurry to carry out construction." Fan Wubing smiled politely and said to He Qingyuan, "We have this kind of business requirements, and Donghai Province has the advantage of the geographical advantage, so this cooperation seems to be very pleasant now."

At present, there are three largest home port groups in the world, including Hong Kong Hutchison Wongpu, Singapore Port Group and Denmark Maersk, which have begun to sharpen their knives and are preparing to enter the domestic port merger and acquisition battle, and giants such as Taiwan Evergreen and Oriental Overseas have also set their sights on ports such as Xiamen, Tianjin, and Dalian.

It is not difficult to imagine that once the policy is liberalized, all kinds of capital will gather on the mainland coast and seize the ports.

"However, judging from the recent situation, although the country has prepared for policy opening, its actual operation involves all interests, and there should be no major changes within two years. This is also a good opportunity for Mr. Fan." He Qingyuan said to Fan Wubing, "In fact, in addition to Jiangshan Port, Donghai Province has many high-quality ports that can be opened."

After hearing He Qingyuan's words, Fan Wubing smiled, just nodded, and didn't say much.

He Qingyuan was also a wise man. He mentioned it briefly. Seeing that Fan Wubing didn't want to say more about this issue, he didn't make any trouble. He just walked along the construction site with Fan Wubing, and the workers who staggered by from time to time said hello.

The accompanying TV reporters captured these lenses with cameras and cameras in a timely manner. Obviously, the key news of the provincial party secretary inspecting the Jiangshan Port construction project will probably appear in the news at night.

Fan Wubing and He Qingyuan walked together, and there were many issues in mind.

The country has always been cautious in port construction. It was not until 1987 that it was the first time to jointly build a container port with foreign capital. However, its development was 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 of the foreign capital is.

Due to the influence of the policy level, there is no port project built and operated by foreign direct investment. Even though the policy has been loosened now, there is still some time to buffer it when it is implemented.

The port construction in Donghai Province does have many advantages, especially the deep-water port here, which is relatively low. Not to mention the construction cost, the port after completion can be parked with ships with large tonnage, which is particularly important for Fan Wubing's ocean-going fleet. Therefore, Fan Wubing chose to build a port project in Donghai Province at that time. Now it seems that it is very prescient.

While everyone was talking, they saw a 100,000-ton ship slowly coming over in the distance. Under the guidance of the pilot, they approached the dock. Li Xuan, the container dismantling device at the port, became busy, constantly hanging the containers on the ship from the ship and then transported them to the dock.

In less than a few hours, these containers will go to where they should go under the influence of strong land capacity.
Chapter completed!
