Soon we walked to the city center. Many people knew us. After all, local TV stations had news reports about us every day. Many people were looking at our group with expressions on their faces.
They are all different, some look interested, some are whispering, pointing to outsiders, and some bold people ran over and greeted Secretary Chen at the same time, and some even asked: "Secretary Chen."
, I heard that our city will be completely demolished and rebuilt?"
Secretary Chen stopped talking with Lin Yi. He raised his hands to everyone and said loudly: "The transformation of the city is inevitable, but it is impossible to demolish and rebuild everything at once. We will do it step by step. The main purpose is
In order to change the dirty and messy appearance of our city and let everyone live a better life."
Some people continue to ask: “What should we do if we can’t afford to buy a new house?”
Secretary Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry about this issue. How many private houses you have now will be given back to you with new houses of the same area. Of course, if you want to live more comfortably, you must buy more at the market price."
That part is gone. For people who don’t have private housing, the government will also consider building low-rent housing to solve this problem. We are a people’s government, and the living issues of the people are our first priority. Don’t worry, everyone.”
Just now, when Secretary Chen was answering a question, many people gathered around him, and people immediately burst into applause.
Then someone else asked, "Secretary Chen, I heard that many workers will be unemployed in the future. Is this true? What will workers do after they lose their jobs? How will they support their families?"
Secretary Chen replied: “With the restructuring of enterprises, some workers will definitely be laid off, but please rest assured that the government will adopt seniority buyouts and find ways to re-employ them to properly arrange their future lives.
.
After all, our Shangjiang City is too poor. As long as our economy develops in the future, there will be no problem with re-employment. Dear fellow villagers, you must believe in the party and the government, and you must believe that we will solve the problem.
Good for these things.
I'm sorry everyone, today I am accompanying my guests to inspect the future development of our city. Let's find an opportunity to talk about it in the future. Haha! Let's disperse and go about your own business. You see, this road is blocked by you.
...Haha! Let’s find time to chat in the future..."
People slowly dispersed, but there were still many people looking at Lin Yi in surprise. He and Secretary Attitude were the only strangers in our group. Lin Yi's temperament looked very much like that of a leader, with a refined elegance.
Such majesty. Moreover, he was personally accompanied by our municipal party committee secretary and mayor of Shangjiang City. I was secretly thinking: These people must be guessing what high-level official he is.
Lin Yi did not live in the city center and looked at the surrounding situation. At the same time, he also asked questions such as what units there were in these places and what proportion of private housing occupied them. I remember he told me before: he only wanted to develop
The most central area of our city, and hopes to build it into a commercial center. Now it seems that his intentions are still the same.
But what I didn't expect was that he insisted on seeing the whole city. So we spent the whole morning on this street.
It wasn't until close to noon that Lin Yicai said: "Secretary Chen, although I have been to Shangjiang City before, I have never observed this city as carefully as today. Secretary Chen, I don't know what you think about this city.
Have you done any overall planning on positioning or construction?"
Secretary Chen said: "Our place has always been a heavy industrial city. Now the first thing we have to do is to reform state-owned enterprises, but the concept of our heavy industrial city will still not change. As for urban construction, we are in the process of overall planning. At present,
We are preparing to invite bidding for planning and design plans across the country, and future urban development will definitely be carried out in accordance with the planning and design plans."
Lin Yi nodded and said: "Secretary Chen, today I carefully observed the appearance of this city. Perhaps it is because I usually pay great attention to the elements of a city, so I quickly discovered that this city is different from other places.
s difference."
Secretary Chen immediately asked: "Oh? Chairman Lin, tell me, what is so different about our city?"
Lin Yi said: "Secretary Chen, in fact, this city was a heavy industrial city only a few decades ago, and this city has been a place with a strong cultural atmosphere since ancient times. Even now, we can still see this
There are some very tasteful ancient buildings in this city, but they are too old and inconspicuous.
Secretary Chen, I don’t know if you have noticed, but every city in our country seems to be copied from the same version. Apart from reinforced concrete, reinforced concrete, and high-rise buildings, they do not have any characteristics of their own.
Some people call such a city a symbol of modernization, but nowadays such a style is everywhere, and people's vision will be numb. Even in places like Beijing and Xi'an, not many ancient buildings have been preserved.
I think this was a mistake made by these cities when they were planning many years ago. Why is Lijiang Old Town so popular today? In the final analysis, it is because it has distinctive characteristics.
Therefore, Secretary Chen, I hope that Shangjiang City can also have its own distinctive characteristics, so that this city can be given a distinctive and distinctive symbol.
Nowadays, your urban construction is relatively late. This is not a bad thing. I think this is a good thing, because at this time, you can learn from the planning problems of other cities and be able to deal with them more rationally.
The future development direction of a city. Do you think it’s Secretary Chen?”
At this time, Mayor Liu said: "It is true. Our Shangjiang is a city with a history of more than a thousand years. There are indeed many ancient buildings that have survived in the city. Fortunately, our construction has lagged behind in recent years, otherwise those places would have been long ago.
It was torn down.”
Secretary Chen nodded and said: "Chairman Lin, what you said makes sense. To be honest, I have never thought about this issue seriously, but what you just said has alerted me. What you said is so reasonable. This issue is also
It's so important. Chairman Lin, you have made us feel that we have gained a lot today. This is a golden word. Chairman Lin, please continue. What do you think we need to pay attention to specifically?"
Lin Yi said with a "hehe" smile: "I am just talking about my personal views. But since Secretary Chen asked me this question, I will finish my thoughts.
I think that on the basis of retaining and repairing the original ancient buildings of the city, the planning of the entire city should also reflect local characteristics. The characteristic of the city of Shangjiang is its cultural heritage, so in terms of the style of the city
It is best to focus on ancient buildings, and the layout of modern buildings must not disrupt this main style.
In fact, we can still learn from the experiences of Beijing and Xi'an in this regard. At least they are relatively coordinated in the combination of ancient buildings and modern buildings. In fact, in the final analysis, it still comes down to planning, and the main idea of planning must be proposed by you.
In addition, I suggest that you move those factories outside the city and build a dedicated industrial park. This will be very beneficial to the quality of the city, and this is also a long-term consideration."
Secretary Chen nodded, "Chairman Lin, what you said makes sense, and it is from the long-term perspective of the city. However, it is not easy to build this city according to the ancient architectural plan, and the government will have to invest a lot of money. We
Shangjiang's economy is relatively backward, so this is too difficult."
Lin Yi nodded and said: "That's true. First of all, the cost of planning and design in the early stage will be much higher, and there is also the cost of environmental improvement in the early stage of the city. I also noticed just now that the river in this city is very polluted.
It is serious, and the silt in the river needs to be cleaned up, the river needs to be strengthened and beautified, and a part of the river needs to be vacated on both sides to create a cultural landscape.
These are very expensive things, but they are very beneficial to improving the taste of a city. If you really want to build this city from a long-term perspective, you must do this. Secretary Chen, I am still that
In short, if you can provide me with sufficiently favorable policies, our Jiangnan Group is willing to invest heavily in building this city with you."
Secretary Chen smiled and asked: "So Chairman Lin, what kind of preferential conditions do you want us to give you?"
Lin Yi said with a smile: "I don't want you to be exempted from tax or anything, otherwise I would be too unethical. Shangjiang City's economy is underdeveloped, and our private enterprises must contribute to the local area instead of harming the development of the local economy.
Secretary Chen, you may also know that our Jiangnan Group is the largest taxpayer in Jiangnan Province every year, and I have always had the concept that we never engage in fraud on issues such as tax payment. This is also the duty of our enterprise.
point."
Secretary Chen nodded and said: "Of course I understand this. I am also very moved by Chairman Lin's words. Then, please briefly talk about your requirements."
Lin Yi said: "Actually, I only have one request, that is, we hope that all urban reconstruction projects in Shangjiang City will be undertaken by our Jiangnan Group. And we must also participate in future urban planning and design. Secretary Chen, to be honest, at present
Real estate development projects in the provincial capital have slowly entered a state of excess. Although housing prices will continue to rise, land resources are slowly depleting at the same time, and our development costs are getting higher and higher. Therefore, our Jiangnan Group may
Within a few years, the focus gradually shifted to cities surrounding the provincial capital.
When I arrived in Shangjiang today, I suddenly discovered that this city is unique, so I really want to use the funds and technical strength of our Jiangnan Group to build this city into a city with a special style. I require that the entire city must be transformed.
It is carried out by our Jiangnan Group. Of course, there are factors to avoid competition and reduce costs, but more importantly, we hope to build this city according to unified standards in the future. Unified management plus unified quality assurance, this
Only then can we ensure the quality of future cities.”
Secretary Chen immediately hesitated and said: "Chairman Lin, this is an investment of tens of billions... Haha! I have no intention of doubting the strength of Jiangnan Group, but I know that your company has been involved in some battles in recent years.
Sir, such a large-scale investment may still be a bit difficult for you, right?"
Lin Yi smiled lightly and said: "Real estate development itself is a kind of capital operation. Jiangnan Group's industries are more than 10 billion? Capital operation is to use 100 yuan to operate a 10,000 yuan project, or even larger. At present,
Although our Jiangnan Group is indeed spreading too far, we can slowly close the front. At present, our company's debt ratio is less than 40%. According to the laws of capital operation, as long as the debt ratio does not exceed 70%
They are all safe, so our Jiangnan Group does not have any financial problems."
Secretary Chen nodded with a smile and said: "I completely believe this. But Chairman Lin, you have to let me think about this matter. And for such a big matter, we must ask the leaders of the province for instructions, and we must also go to the Standing Committee.
The study passed."
Lin Yi smiled and said: "Of course. Today I just want to express our company's thoughts and sincerity."
I didn't say a word during their entire conversation. On the one hand, I had no chance to interrupt in a conversation like this. On the other hand, after all, Lin Yi was my father-in-law, so I was a little taboo about expressing my own opinions.
But I was very surprised, because I didn't expect Lin Yi to be so ambitious. You know, investing so much money in such a place where the economy is not developed and the people's purchasing power is relatively weak, the investment risk is very high.
Huge. And just as Secretary Chen is worried, according to the current situation of Jiangnan Group, it is not easy or simple to invest tens of billions here.
To be honest, I really don’t understand why Lin Yi is so interested in this city. As the largest private enterprise in Jiangnan Province, he can definitely make a difference in other aspects, but why would he choose such a place?
