Chapter 421 Gwadar Port
Take a look at the major projects that have been built, are under construction, or are being promoted in Narcissus City.
Shuixian Airport, with a total investment of 130 billion yuan, is about to be completed and is scheduled to be put into operation early next year.
Shuixian City Metro, the first phase project of 3 main lines is in progress. Among them, Shuixian Port Line 1 is expected to be completed and put into operation in the middle of next year. The connection line between Shuixian Port and Shuixian City is under construction and is expected to be completed in mid-2018. Xiangcheng District, Shuixian City
, the Longwen District trunk line is under construction and is expected to be completed by the end of 2018. The total investment in the entire project is 100 billion yuan.
Shuixian Nuclear Power Plant, with an investment of 70 billion yuan in the first phase of the project, will be able to meet the electricity needs of Shuixian City and Ludao in the next 20 years, and there will be no current blackouts.
The Narcissus Domestic Waste Treatment Plant has a total investment of 10 billion yuan.
30 billion yuan has been invested in the road hub project, and 50 billion yuan will be invested in the next five years.
The total investment of the Jiujiuwan "Minnan Narcissus" project is expected to be 50 billion yuan.
...
Liu Yichen looked at the list and felt that his scalp was numb. At this moment, he finally understood why the two leaders, Huang and others, were crying.
If we really follow this list, Narcissus City really won't be able to spend much money on drought relief.
It is even estimated that Narcissus City's debt sheet in the next few years will not only not shrink, but may even increase.
"Academician Liu, I have thought of a way, which is to temporarily borrow the money to build 8 medium-sized reservoirs from you, and then use the future income of these 8 medium-sized reservoirs as collateral until the debt is paid off. What do you think?
?" Leader Huang said.
At this time, Liu Yichen finally understood that the purpose of Leader Huang's stay was to borrow money from him.
Liu Yichen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This was the biggest scammer, and he had to be on guard. After all, this kind of borrowing without repayment had become so common in the past twenty years or so.
There are ways to collect personal debts, but this... is hard to say.
Liu Yichen touched his chin: "Two leaders, the credibility of the government... This, oh, is worrying. I'm worried that I will not repay the loan."
Leader Huang patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry about this. The eight reservoirs can be used as collateral, and the future income will be considerable. Moreover, it can also be through bank channels. Except for the operation, management and maintenance fees of the reservoirs, the rest will be deposited in the bank."
, repay a portion regularly every year until the debt is paid off.”
Liu Yichen thought for a while and realized that this was feasible. As long as the head offices of the four major banks were used as intermediaries, then Narcissus City would probably change its bosses in the future and there would be no way to deny the account.
In this way, Narcissus City owes money to the bank, and the bank owes itself money. The bank relies on the interest difference in the middle to earn interest.
Liu Yichen agreed, but it couldn't be signed on the spot. A bank was required, and all three parties had to review the contract and agree on relevant conditions.
After the matter was settled, Liu Yichen took a special car and returned to school.
As the car drove on the highway, Liu Yichen smiled bitterly. He did not expect that Narcissus City would imitate real estate developers in running high-debt operations. This was almost like committing suicide. It was completely gambling with future earnings. Once the future earnings were not as expected, then
Huge debt will make it bankrupt.
But he also has to say that the leadership teams of these two terms are quite courageous. Otherwise, those who are slightly less courageous would not dare to borrow so much money.
Of course, he also knows that borrowing from banks is not an exception, but a common phenomenon. Borrowings of tens of billions or hundreds of billions abound. There are even counties that directly borrow tens of billions from banks.
No matter how bold a person is, how productive the land is, you are not afraid of not being able to do it, but you are afraid of not being able to think of it!
Now I am reinterpreting this sentence with actions.
Liu Yichen finally understood why the higher-ups had been hesitant about the abnormal development of the real estate industry before and had not yet completely set the tone. He probably already knew the debt situation and was worried that if there was no income from land sales, the debt would explode.
.
Back home, Feng Lin was watching the seven o'clock news with her children. The seven o'clock news was broadcasting a news: Gwadar Port officially opened.
Gwadar is an important port in Pakistan. It is located south of Gwadar City in southwest Balochistan Province of Pakistan. It is a deep-water port. As early as 30 years ago, the Pakistani government had the idea of developing Gwadar Port. In the 1990s,
The American UL Company, famous for its Gwadar Port, plans to bid for Pakistan’s oil pipeline project. This oil pipeline was originally planned to invest US$1.7 billion, starting from the Atrabad Oil Field in Turkmenistan, passing through Afghanistan, and finally reaching Martan in Pakistan.
, with a total length of 1,440 kilometers, is planned to transport 1.5 billion to 2 billion cubic feet of oil and gas every day.
The plan at that time also planned to extend this oil pipeline to Gwadar Port. Once the infrastructure construction of the port is completed, oil and gas from Central Asia can be transported to East Asia via giant tankers crossing the Indian Ocean. The economic prospects are very attractive.
Unfortunately, due to concerns about the impact of the war on the progress of the project, the international situation, and the fact that Russia has bought out 80% of the oil and gas reserves in Turkmenistan, Pakistan’s oil pipeline is in the embarrassing situation of having no rice to cook. The American project
The plan fell through, and UL was forced to withdraw from the bidding.
In 1998, Pakistan shunned international socialism and hurriedly signed a memorandum of understanding with the American Forbes Company in Karachi on joint investment and development of the Gwadar Port without holding an international bid. The two parties signed a memorandum of understanding for the development of the Gwadar Port worth US$460 million.
Investment Agreement. Unfortunately, this investment agreement died immediately after it was exposed.
In 2001, China made a decision to assist the construction, and in August of that year the two governments signed a financing agreement for the first phase of the Gwadar Port project in Beijing.
This is part of China's "bypassing the Persian Gulf" policy to ensure the safety of oil imports.
Gwadar Port is located near the throat of the strategically important Persian Gulf. Gwadar Port tightly controls the throat of several important maritime routes from Africa and Europe to East Asia and the Pacific through the Red Sea, Strait of Hormuz, and the Persian Gulf. Gwadar Port
Dar Port is approximately 400 kilometers away from the Strait of Hormuz, the main channel for global oil supply.
It can be said that China's investment in the construction of Gwadar Port is of extremely important strategic significance. The mere availability of stable energy supply is enough for China to invest in Gwadar Port.
Even if an oil pipeline is directly built in the future to connect Gwadar Port and the Western Region Province, a large part of China's energy supply can be ensured, and the importance of the Malacca Strait will be greatly reduced.
The total cost of the first phase of the Gwadar Port project is US$248 million, of which China assists US$198 million, and Pakistan is responsible for supporting funds of US$50 million, which is managed by China Port General Contracting. Now that the first phase of the Gwadar Port project has been fully completed, even this
The second phase of the project has also been completed and is now officially launched. It can be said that the impact it has produced is far beyond what can be compared with hundreds of millions of dollars.
Looking at the news, Gwadar Port was originally just an inconspicuous small fishing village, but today, 14 years later, it has become one of the most prosperous ports in Pakistan.
Just on the first day of sailing, it attracted a large number of ships.
"The Gwadar Port has finally been built, which means... China's energy supply security has been greatly increased." Feng Lin also sighed. As a scholar who studies international political economics, she would not pay attention to such a major event.
Always paid close attention to it.
She must read the seven o'clock news every day.
As a scholar in this field, she is always able to discover different things from the Seven O'Clock News and interpret them academically.
"Last year, 80% of the oil imported by China had to pass through the "Strait of Malacca", the throat channel connecting the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. In the annual import and export trade, most of the transportation of commodities also had to pass through the "Strait of Malacca".
If the Gwadar Port is destroyed and an oil and gas pipeline is built in the future, as well as a high-speed railway from Gwadar Port to China, the power of various intimidation tactics regarding the Malacca Strait will be greatly reduced!" Feng Lin quickly understood.
Significant impact of Gwadar Port counterpart.
"Not only that, this is also the only outlet for the western part of China to connect to the Indian Ocean, and it also has potential military role." Liu Yichen said solemnly.
Although the investment in the first phase of the port project was only 248 million yuan, the total cost of the entire Guarda Port project reached an astonishing 45 billion U.S. dollars. This newly emerging port city has been heavily invested by China.
of.
Gwadar Port is not a military port and has no military facilities or garrison. However, the fleet sent by China to the Gulf of Aden to fight pirates can be supplied and repaired at Gwadar Port. It can be said that the military strategic significance is of great importance.
Since the smell of gunpowder smoke in July this year, although CCTV broadcast a bear infestation, it seems that nothing has happened, but the danger is the most serious in the past ten years. If you are not careful, two peerless masters will draw their swords.
During the war, it was a life-or-death situation.
Although several months have passed since that incident, its influence is still fermenting. It will not be revealed so easily when the fleet commander goes to serve as ambassador to a foreign country. Its influence is definitely far-reaching.
Otherwise, the construction of warships would not be suddenly accelerated, and the two aircraft carriers would go to sea every once in a while. They would not go out to sea to fish idle. After all, the cost of one aircraft carrier trip is really not low.
"This is a good topic. The "One Belt, One Road" strategy will be a topic of great research value in the future." Feng Lin nodded, as if she had found a very good topic.
Liu Yichen quite agreed with Feng Lin's words. The "One Belt, One Road" strategy is equivalent to the ancient Silk Road and has extraordinary influence. Otherwise, it would not be called the "21st Century Maritime Silk Road". Although it has been
It has only been more than two years since it was formally proposed at the opening ceremony of the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference, but its impact has already been huge.
This impact is not only limited to the country, but also overseas!
