When Fang Hong heard the city's top leader asking for advice, he thought for a moment and then said with a smile: "In the final analysis, the word 'money' can explain all the underlying logic, so talking about money does not hurt feelings, and not talking about money is a proper hooliganism."
.”
All the city leaders who attended the meeting couldn't help but smile and seemed quite relaxed. The reason for being so relaxed was of course due to Xincheng's current financial "money bag" being very rich.
What's more, Xincheng's absolute "god of wealth" is sitting in the conference room.
Fang Hong continued: "Compared with the various fertility strategies proposed by experts, directly throwing money is undoubtedly the best way to encourage surplus. And it is best to do it as soon as possible. If you wait until young people's concept of fertility has fundamentally changed,
Changes mean that indifferent policies will have little effect, and once the fertility rate falls below the trend, it is almost irreversible."
Everyone couldn't help but nodded. At this time, a leader at the meeting couldn't help but ask: "Comrade Fang Hong, do you think there is a possibility of a significant increase in national fiscal budget investment in encouraging childbirth in the future?"
This is my sincere advice.
It is still difficult for city leaders to get in touch with the higher-ups. Fang Hong is not within the system, but he can consult internally. To a certain extent, city leaders are really not as well-informed as he is.
"Personally, I think the probability is very small." Fang Hong immediately came up with his conclusion, and then further analyzed: "When it is scaled up to the national level, it is extremely difficult to implement a strategy like directly throwing money. The reason is also very simple. There are not so many
money."
"Our country is now in a critical period of industrial transformation and upgrading, an important stage of international competition. Although the economy is growing rapidly, there are too many places to spend money. Increase investment in scientific research, increase investment in military expenditures, etc. Any of these should be prioritized
The level is higher than fertility."
Everyone present heard the implication of Fang Hong's words, and the subtext was that he was not optimistic about the future population problem.
In other words, this issue requires new cities to plan in advance to grab talents. In the future, if the birth rate drops, there will definitely be competition among major cities to grab people, especially high-end talents.
If we really react by then, it will be a little too late, and the cost will definitely be greater than it is now, and the effect will be compromised.
Fang Hong then smiled and said: "For our Xincheng, with the current abundant financial situation, directly throwing money is the most effective and feasible method. Moreover, Xincheng's future financial revenue growth rate is not
It will be low.”
It is worth mentioning that the current leadership of the new city hopes to achieve the long-term goal of a population of 10 million in the next five years, that is, around 2020. To achieve this goal, it means that the new city must be generated within this period of time.
The inflow of nearly 4 million people results in an average annual net increase of about 800,000 people.
Although the country is currently in the accelerated stage of urbanization, it is not easy to achieve this ambitious goal. We must start from all aspects, and fertility is also an important factor.
The birth of a child often represents the inflow of a family's population, and it is also the inflow of young labor force.
At this moment, Fang Hong thought about it and said calmly and confidently: "If the new city wants people to have more children, and even attract young couples from other places to settle in the new city and have children, they should take corresponding responsibilities. I have five suggestions. Generally speaking,
You can’t pay lip service to what you say but don’t live up to it.”
The leader said concisely and concisely: "Please tell me."
Fang Hong nodded and said: "First of all, medical expenses for children under the age of 18 are free. As long as the child has a household registration in Xincheng, he can be fully reimbursed even if he goes to other cities for medical treatment."
"Secondly, kindergarten childcare fees after the second child are also exempted, and diapers and milk powder for children under one year old are reimbursed from the government budget."
"Thirdly, the admission fee for the playground built for children will be paid by the government budget, and it will be free for adults and children."
"Fourth, for some divorced or separated couples to raise children, the government will temporarily bear the cost of raising children for one party, and provide it on a monthly basis, and the parents will repay it later."
"Fifth, all exemptions and exemptions must not be subject to various strange and complex restrictions, but must be direct, simple, and clear. As long as the child meets the requirements, he or she can receive or be reimbursed without delay."
The leaders attending the meeting looked at each other in confusion. Fang Hong's five suggestions were all about spending money, and they must be willing to spend money.
Fang Hong continued: "With regard to these five measures, we have also calculated an account in a targeted manner. All measures can save a family 6,700 yuan per month, and as long as the correct measures are implemented, it can not only stimulate
The willingness of local citizens to have children will definitely attract a large number of outsiders to settle in the new city, and the net population inflow into the new city will definitely reach a rate exceeding seven digits every year."
If it were another city, Fang Hong would definitely not make such a suggestion, but Xincheng's abundant finances can definitely support it. The expenses brought by these five suggestions will most likely account for 5% of Xincheng's financial budget.
Around, actually not high.
And once these five suggestions are implemented, it is foreseeable that the household registration in the new city will become popular, the population inflow will definitely accelerate, and the annual net population growth of one million levels is definitely not an unattainable goal.
When there are people, there will definitely be a demand for housing. The surge in consumption and strong demand will activate hundreds of industries. The city will inevitably accelerate expansion and promote the upgrading of various infrastructures. For example, subway entrances can be planned in advance in suburbs.
These benefits are naturally visible to the leaders attending the meeting, and especially in the area of housing, the current property market is in a slump, and there is great pressure to destock. This is true in many cities across the country, but New Town is
No pressure.
Relatively speaking, Xincheng has been doing much better in recent years. Due to the rise of Qunxing Capital, the proportion of the city's fiscal revenue structure to land transfer has been declining year by year. However, fiscal revenue has been growing rapidly, and its dependence on land transfer fees has continued to decline.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The reason is that there are many high-tech companies in Xincheng now, not to mention non-bank financial giants like Star Capital, Xingyu Technology is headquartered in Xincheng, Jiuzhou Blue Arrow, Quantum
Jump and quantitative capital are all in Xincheng.
At the end, Fang Hong looked at the attendees and smiled and said: "Stars Capital will also introduce some measures to encourage childbirth for its employees, including employees of its holding subsidiaries. It is currently being studied and should be implemented soon.
As an important part of society, enterprises should also appropriately bear part of this cost."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other again. Although Fang Hong was very young, no one present felt that a giant who could still firmly control Qunxing Capital for many years behind the scenes would be really that upright.
They are more willing to believe that what Fang Hong means is that regardless of whether Xincheng wants to do this or not, Qunxing and its holding subsidiaries will definitely strongly support and encourage childbirth and take relevant measures to this end.
The further subtext is that we hope the new city can implement those five measures.
This will bring about a potential problem: does Xincheng need to support it?
If there is no support, the participants feel that even if Fang Hong expresses understanding, he must be upset or even complain.
Stars Capital may set its sights on other cities besides Xincheng in the future, which is absolutely unacceptable to Xincheng.
But if supported, there are other potential problems.
After about ten minutes, the seminar ended, and Fang Hong said goodbye and left. However, he did not get a definite answer from the leader at the meeting, but only expressed that he attached great importance to his suggestions.
