At noon, the municipal party committee and government hosted a banquet for Lin Yi and his party in a five-star hotel. At Lin Yi's request, everyone just drank a little red wine. Lin Yi said that he wanted to go up the mountain to see the ruins of the temple in the afternoon.
Secretary Chen smiled and said, "Well, I won't accompany you there this afternoon. I'll just ask Mayor Feng and Minister Wu from our United Front Work Department to accompany you."
Lin Yi smiled and nodded: "Okay. I just went to see that place. I heard that it was a bit magical, so I wanted to experience it. Secretary Chen, I think that place can be used as the future city of your city in the future.
Part of the business card, if possible, should also be well crafted.”
Secretary Chen smiled and said: "Mayor Feng has the same idea as you on this point, and I agree with it. So we in Shangjiang City really have a lot to do in the future."
After lunch we started going up the mountain. I asked the city government office to send two off-road vehicles. I accompanied him in one car, and in the other car was Minister Wu and our secretary. Lin Yi left all his men behind
, asking them to take a good look at the city. I actually arranged this arrangement because I wanted to talk to Lin Yi alone about something while we were in the car.
The driver is Xiao Cui, and I am quite reassured about his quality. As a driver of the municipal government, the most basic requirement is that you must have a sense of confidentiality, and you must not take the leader's words to the outside. Through this
After observing for a long time, I found that Xiao Cui performed very well at this point.
"Uncle Lin, are you really prepared to make such a large-scale investment in Shangjiang?" I asked him immediately after getting in the car. This question had already made me feel like a lump in my throat.
He nodded and said: "I do have such an idea. Making money has no practical meaning to me now. Money is just a bunch of numbers to me, and what I want to do most now is to do what I like to do.
If Shangjiang City can plan this city according to my vision, I would really like to invest and develop it here.
People have to leave something behind in this life. There is really no beauty in a reinforced concrete building like that. Living in that kind of environment every day can only make people tired. Nowadays, this is the case all over the country. In addition to high-rise buildings, there are still high-rise buildings.
, Our nation has fewer and fewer things, so I really hope to leave something to our descendants, even if I make less money in Shangjiang City, as long as it can be built according to my ideas."
I shook my head and said: "Uncle Lin, to be honest, if you ask us to build this city exactly according to your ideas, it is not a realistic thing. For the future of a city, the local party committee and government must play a leading role.
, On the one hand, local party committees and governments must consider the functions of the city and the interests of the people, and may also consider the current economic interests too seriously. In today's situation where political performance is only measured by GDP, as a local
The politicians have to consider this issue. This is not just a matter for our Shangjiang City, but also for the whole country.
To be honest, Secretary Chen has done a relatively good job at this point. At least he can think more about the future of this city as much as possible. However, if this city is built according to your vision,
If so, the period of obtaining benefits will definitely be longer, because it is not easy to build a city into a place with profound cultural heritage in the true sense. This not only requires a large amount of capital investment, but also requires extensive research and development.
Publicity and cultivation in various ways. This is definitely not a matter of one or two days.”
But he said disapprovingly: "I don't think so. Today's media is so developed, it is not difficult to promote a place. For example, you can ask CCTV to do a special issue, or invite "The Same Song" to perform in Shangjiang City
Wait, in the final analysis, this is a matter of marketing methods, and it doesn't cost much. For a city, spending tens of millions on publicity is nothing.
When the time comes, our Jiangnan Group can sponsor this money. The wool comes from the sheep, the quality of the city has improved, the reputation has increased, and the housing prices and sales will naturally increase. But what you said about the leadership of the local party committee and government
It's true. In the final analysis, this is an issue of officialdom. As for local party committees and governments, they believe from the bottom of their hearts that they are dominated by private enterprises. This is an unacceptable thing. But I believe that in this issue
We can negotiate with each other and make concessions to each other."
I nodded, but I was thinking: Maybe.
But what I am really worried about is actually his financial problem. As far as I know, Jiangnan Group has always been in a state of financial stress, especially after undertaking the construction of the Opera House project and developing the surrounding areas of the Opera House.
It has always existed.
But I couldn’t ask him this question. After all, it involved his business secrets and his self-esteem.
But I still believe in one thing: For enterprises and businessmen, they have very little cash flow, and they use capital operations to grow their assets. Although I don’t know the specific steps of capital operations.
It's still relatively new to me, but I know its principles, and I've been strengthening my study of this knowledge recently.
As the executive deputy mayor in charge of finance, I must learn this aspect because the government often needs capital to operate.
He immediately asked me: "Feng Xiao, what do you personally think about this matter? I am planning to invest here."
I thought for a while and said: "Uncle Lin, I hope you will be cautious. And even if you want to invest, there is no need for one company of Jiangnan Group to bear all the costs. I think, on the one hand, this is not realistic, because the characteristics of the market economy are
Fair competition, the method you mentioned is a monopoly in the final analysis, and some people will gossip in the future. Secretary Chen also has to consider this issue. So, I don’t think he will agree. Think about it, the conditions you proposed today are right
Our Shangjiang City is so advantageous, but he didn't agree to it right away, which speaks volumes.
On the other hand, after all, Shangjiang is a prefecture-level city. To invest in such a large project, it is definitely not something that can be obtained with 10 billion. No matter how sophisticated your capital operation methods are, it will be difficult because of the initial requirements.
The amount of investment is obvious, and according to the traditional pre-sale form of real estate, there may be some difficulties in Shangjiang City, because the income of ordinary people is so small, and their purchasing power is too limited. Therefore,
In this way, the investment risk will become very unpredictable.
Furthermore, as the Shangjiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, for example, they will put forward specific requirements for you in terms of construction time and progress, which further increases the risks caused by the short investment period, because this requires
You invest more money at one time but there may be no return for the time being, which increases the risk of investment. Uncle Lin, do you think this is the case?"
He sighed and said: "Yeah. What you said makes sense. But this is also the reason why I asked that it can only be developed by one of our companies, because then the pricing power will be completely in my hands. In the early stage,
Low-price promotions and appropriate price increases in the later period, so that I can control it.
I believe that as long as we pay attention to the rhythm of market operations, the risk of investment will be reduced a lot. What I am most worried about now is government intervention in the market, which is the most troublesome thing. Jiangnan Group is an enterprise after all, although it should
We assume some social responsibilities, but we are fundamentally different from state-owned enterprises. The first thing we consider is profit.
The amount of demolition in Shangjiang City's future urban renewal projects will be so large. If the government interferes with the autonomy of enterprises and forces enterprises to endlessly assume excessive social responsibilities, that will be the biggest risk. Therefore, if Shangjiang City
If the city doesn't agree to my conditions, I won't invest a penny in this place. Although I do want to do something I want to do, I have no choice but to reluctantly give up."
I suddenly remembered what Secretary Chen said to the citizens when we were on the street today, and I thought that Lin Yi's worries seemed to be reasonable. (To be continued)
