The hottest Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge restruct

Hu Yingxiang frankly said that the cost of Hong Kong builders is higher than that of the mainland, and they lose the competitive advantage of price, so Hong Kong builders can only rely on experience. After the successful listing of Hehe highway, the financing pressure of Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge further reduced. Coupled with hehe's experience in infrastructure operation in Guangdong in the past 25 years, he "is confident to finally obtain the operation and construction rights of the bridge."

on the same day, Hong Kong and Macao consortia also expressed their opinions one after another. Kwok Ping Hsiang, an old friend of Wu Ying Hsiang and chairman of Sun Hung Kai properties, Hong Kong's largest property developer, said that he was interested in investing in the construction of the bridge in principle, but he still had to consider the plan formulated by the authorities. Huo Yingdong, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese people's Political Consultative Conference, who has been promoting the opening of Nansha, also mentioned for the first time that he would support the construction of the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge, saying that the bridge is equivalent to two Singapore for his development of the Guangdong Nansha project, and the construction of the bridge can promote the development of each other. Stanley Ho, chairman of Sindh group, a major enterprise in Macao, also publicly expressed interest in participating in the construction of the bridge

however, Huo Jianning, the managing director of Hutchison Whampoa, made a high-profile opposition to the bridge initiative of Ho Ho Ying Hsiang in Hong Kong last summer, and was considered to represent the position of the Li Ka Shing consortium, which controls Hong Kong's Wharf business, because the construction of the bridge would harm the interests of the original wharf industry. As of press time, neither Cheung Kong Industrial nor Hutchison Whampoa has made any response to the news that the bridge is about to be launched

the West Bank of the Pearl River and Hong Kong are mutually beneficial

Duan Qiao, a professor in the Department of decision science and enterprise economics at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, has been paying attention to the evolution of the Pearl River Delta economy for 20 years. He said in an interview that the completion of the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge will consolidate Hong Kong's position as a trade center, enhance the local role as a logistics hub in the Pearl River Delta, and strengthen the position of local sea, land and air freight. At the same time, the west coast cities Zhaoqing, Shunde, Foshan, Jiangmen, Zhongshan and Zhuhai have shortened the distance from Hong Kong, so that these cities can be in line with the east coast cities such as Shenzhen and Dongguan, so as to strengthen their ability to attract foreign investment

"at that time, Hong Kong's four pillar industries - tourism, logistics, finance and business services can benefit from it." Duan Qiao predicted that "after the completion of the bridge, Hong Kong's GDP will increase by 1.3% to 1.6%. Based on last year's HK $1270 billion, the bridge can directly bring about HK $20billion in economic benefits to the local economy. And the six cities in the West Bank will also increase the GDP by HK $89.1 billion."

for a long time, the development of the East and West banks of the Pearl River has been very uneven. Over the past 20 years, the economic aggregate on the East Bank of the Pearl River has increased more than 240 times, while that on the West Bank has increased only 46 times. Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan and other eastern cities account for nearly 70% of the total economy of the Pearl River Delta, while Zhuhai and Jiangmen in the west account for only about 30%. Duan Qiao said, "the development of the western part of the Pearl River Delta is a prerequisite for the economy of the Pearl River Delta to reach a higher level."

Duan Qiao believes that after the completion of the bridge, the goods in the west of the Pearl River Delta can be sent to Hong Kong airport or container terminal for export through the bridge, which can increase the supply of goods for Hong Kong and make Hong Kong a logistics center for goods in eastern and western Guangdong

cities on the West Bank of the Pearl River Delta have benefited more from the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge than Hong Kong, but Duan Qiao believes that "if Hong Kong does not build a bridge, it will be difficult to maintain its advantage. At that time, goods from cities on the West Bank of the Pearl River Delta will gradually be transferred to Shenzhen Yantian port." At present, most of the goods in the west of the Pearl River Delta first go from Humen Bridge to Shenzhen, loosen the chuck, and then set out through Hong Kong. In this process, some goods will be diverted. Now walking from the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge, land is faster than sea, and the supply of goods is relatively concentrated. Shenzhen's Yantian Port has grown at a rate of 50% in recent years. When routes and flights have increased one after another, Hong Kong is in danger of being marginalized. Therefore, for Hong Kong, we can no longer hold a narrow regional concept that focuses on the overall situation of industrial development. "

Shenzhen faces challenges

originally, someone launched the 10th Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge Scheme with a double Y-shaped bridge in June, in which a bridge will be built to lead to the west of Shenzhen. However, this scheme is considered to be a huge project with limited benefits. Duan Qiao admitted, "after the opening of the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge, Shenzhen will undoubtedly be affected." Because cargo vehicles from the West Bank of the Pearl River, including container trucks for export trade, can go directly to Hong Kong without passing through Shenzhen, which will weaken the cargo absorption capacity of ports such as Chiwan and Yantian in Shenzhen. "More realistically, the Shenzhen Hong Kong Western Corridor project, which was built with an investment of 3billion yuan by the Shenzhen Hong Kong government, is the main project of the Shenzhen Bay Highway Bridge. The starting point of Shenzhen is Shekou, and it crosses the Shenzhen Bay to the northwest of the new territories in Hong Kong. If it is not completed in time, its economic benefits will become blurred in the future."

Dr. Tan gang of the Shenzhen Institute of comprehensive opening up in China believes that after the completion of the bridge, Hong Kong will become a logistics center in Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao, with greater radiation space and more sources of goods. As far as Macao is concerned, it has little throughput, and there is no direct channel, so there is no problem of freight loss. The bridge connects Macao, and Macao's logistics can go directly through Hong Kong. Therefore, he believes that the completion of the bridge should not consider how to allocate the existing supply. The existing supply is limited. It should be to expand the cake of logistics supply and avoid the vicious competition of supply in the Greater Pearl River Delta in the future. In order to have a good competitive environment. The competition between each other should consider this issue first. "

Tan Gang, who has been studying the impact of the construction of the bridge, said, "it will take a long time for the bridge to be completed. If everything takes shape, Shenzhen logistics industry will also make corresponding adjustments and changes, so it is too early to say that it will have a great impact on Shenzhen Logistics."
