Excellent little farmer

Chapter 1689 Allies

"With the acceleration of urbanization, I think the urbanization of the agricultural population in the suburbs of Huaiqing is an inevitable process, and this process will even be quite fast, beyond our current expectations. This can be seen from the changes in recent years. I can see it.”

Xu Qiao didn't mind the doubts raised by his colleagues. He was also very skeptical at first, but he was finally convinced by the sufficient information I prepared.

"It turns out that Bailian Township, Dahu Township, and Ouchi Township in the northern suburbs of Huaizhou District were all purely agricultural townships five years ago. But now, Bailian Township has disappeared and been completely annexed by the development zone. Dahu Township, Ouchi Township More than half of Chi Township is also occupied by development zones, and judging from this situation, the more remote Mazhuang Township and Jiming Town may gradually be included. This is enough to prove that as the industrialization process accelerates, the urbanization process will also become more rapid. quick."

"We cannot view the urbanization process at the current development rate. With the further deepening of reform and opening up, and after my country's accession to the WTO, the trend of becoming the world's manufacturing center base has become increasingly obvious. The central and western regions with abundant labor resources will also It will usher in a rare historical development opportunity, and the western development promoted by the central government will further catalyze the acceleration of this process."

"We in Huaiqing have a strong mechanical equipment manufacturing industry foundation, and now the electronics industry is gradually emerging in our city. It is also the only way to absorb more rural surplus labor and non-local talents into our city, and this will also be our It is the foundation for the economic development of Huaiqing City, and our municipal government has a duty to provide them with a livable city with excellent environment and suitable conditions."

Deng Ruoxian admitted that Xu Qiao's remarks made some sense, but it was obviously still far-fetched to support Huaiqing's development into a city with a population of one million. However, he did not intend to continue arguing on this issue. After all, it was also a city. It is a long-term process, it will take ten years, and no one can tell where the people here will be by then.

"Mayor Xu, the outlook is very bright. It is a good thing to be far-sighted, but it must also be realistic. To promote the development of urbanization on this scale, the financial resources required must be astronomical. Even if it is invested gradually over the years, for us, I'm afraid it's an unbearable burden for Qing City's finances, right?" Gu Xiaopeng couldn't help but interrupt.

Everyone else, including Lu Qiuchen, was in high spirits. They felt that Gu Xiaopeng, the finance chief, was asking the right question. He said one thousand and said ten thousand. In the final analysis, it still had to be supported by funds. To Huaiqing Can the city's finances support it? Gu Xiaopeng's questioning meant that he, the old finance chief, was not optimistic about this plan.

“Although Huaiqing’s finances, especially budgeted revenues, have seen significant growth this year, they are definitely a drop in the bucket if they are used to support the rapid development of urban construction. And I also think that Huaiqing’s finances need to consider other funds that are more in need. aspects, so I think we cannot rely on financial investment to promote urban construction, but more need to be driven by the market."

Xu Qiao's words made Deng Ruoxian silent, Gu Xiaopeng was thoughtful, and the others were confused.

What does the hand of the market mean?

Deng Ruoxian knew that I had always been dissatisfied with the development status of Huaiqing Urban Development and Construction Co., Ltd., and believed that the Urban Development Department could play a more important and obvious role in Huaiqing's urban construction. When he was in charge of urban construction work, he had already discussed it with himself Discuss the role of the urban development and construction department as the main force in urban development and construction.

Gu Xiaopeng got some clues from what Xu Qiao said just now: "Income is within the budget."

The large growth in budgetary revenue is still unable to support urban construction, which means that extrabudgetary revenue may change. Land transfer revenue has been an increasing proportion of extrabudgetary revenue since last year, and this year the proportion is rising faster. Real estate The market boom has made land revenue the highlight of extra-budgetary revenue.

Gu Xiaopeng, who is well versed in finance and taxation work, vaguely guessed that Xu Qiao's "hand of the market" refers to using urban planning and construction to promote land development and value-added before selling it. In other words, urban development must be relied on to promote the increase in land value. In the end, the land transfer fee will be significantly increased, and then the revenue from the land transfer fee will be used to support larger-scale urban development and construction to achieve a cycle. No wonder Xu Qiao took such a big step in urban planning all of a sudden.

This is a good idea, but there is a key issue that needs to be clarified, that is, the prerequisite for realizing this circular development is to allow these lands to be transferred at a satisfactory price. It is only a second-rate city among the inner-secondary cities. Apart from having the advantage of being relatively close to the provincial capital, other conditions are not favorable. Can it reach the expected level?

Both Deng Ruoxian and Gu Xiaopeng were aware of my and Xu Qiao's intentions, but there were still many specific problems. It is not that you can achieve smooth sailing and immediate success with just two sentences, but they both admitted that this method is a reliable way. You can give the operation method a try, but it remains to be seen how effective it will be.

I was paying attention to the expressions of the deputy mayors. Both Deng Ruoxian and Gu Xiaopeng had thoughtful expressions on their faces, which meant that these two people had realized their and Xu Qiao's intentions, while the other deputy mayors were obviously still They didn't realize it, especially Lu Qiuchen and Xu Luping, who shook their heads repeatedly with disapproval on their faces, probably thinking that Xu Qiao was playing some gimmick again.

Although Qian Yuanhui, Li Changjiang and An Ran were still a little confused, they still maintained patient and listening expressions on their faces. It seemed that they also wanted to really hear what Xu Qiao had in mind.

From this point alone, we can see the knowledge and vision of several deputy mayors in this regard, as well as their attitude towards themselves. I have always believed that Deng Ruoxian and Gu Xiaopeng have been in charge of urban construction, or are good at finance, and can detect subtle things. strangeness.

Although Qian, Li, and An didn't know much about the operation in this area, they still listened patiently out of support for themselves. However, Lu and Xu were obviously not satisfied with Xu Qiao, that is, their own ideas. If you have a cold, you can even say that you are not too cold about being the mayor.

This on-site introduction not only allowed everyone to see Xu Qiao's eloquence, but also allowed a group of people in the municipal government to feel my grand vision in urban construction planning for the first time.

In the plan, the four major parks of the Central Forest Park are spread throughout the newly planned city. Many cultural relics and attractions will be rediscovered, repaired and enriched. The golden signboard of Huaiqing, a national historical and cultural city, will become Huaiqing in the future. A powerful starting point for the development of Qingcheng City, the two signboards of a model city of landscape gardens and human settlements and a famous historical and cultural city will also be the mainstream direction of Huaiqing's urban development in the future.

According to the urban planning, the city center coordinates will also be shifted by about four kilometers to the west and north, completely getting rid of the urban pattern left over from Huaiqing's history with the five major factories as the central gathering area, making the entire city more standardized, scientific, reasonable and sustainable. It is moving in the direction of sustainable development, forming a general pattern with the current Central Forest Park as the center and developing west to north.

"Mayor Xu, it seems that we have a long way to go in the future! Even the leaders in the city hold this attitude. If we want to persuade others to view our plan rationally, it is a heavy burden! How about, Do you feel any pressure?" I said while walking by the Lotus Leaf Lake with my hands behind my back.

Lianye Lake is located in the heart of the planned Central Forest Park, with a water surface of more than 1,000 acres. There is also a large wetland in the southwest corner. The lakeside is surrounded by rolling hills, but the relative height of these seemingly meandering hills is very high. It is very low, generally within ten meters, and the highest is no more than thirty meters. It is distributed along the lakeside. Green and lush secondary tree forest belts and shrubs are densely covered on it, forming a natural mountain beside the lake and the lake supporting the mountain. pattern.

It's just that the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains is somewhat incompatible with the surrounding environment. It is still several kilometers away from the traditional central area of ​​the city. To be precise, this area is still a suburb. In addition, the traffic is not smooth and the surroundings are scattered. Farmers and some low-rise buildings are scattered around. It is hard to imagine that such a beautiful environment can be found in a boudoir without anyone knowing about it.

"Mayor Ye, there must be pressure, but I'm not as pessimistic as you." Xu Qiao was also dressed in a sports T-shirt and cropped pants, with a pair of Nike sneakers on her feet. She was obviously prepared for my invitation to climb. Looking very interested.

"At first, I couldn't accept your ideas, but now, I have become a loyal supporter of your ideas. I consider myself a strong-willed person who is not easy to change my views, but I am convinced by your ideas. , I don’t believe that when we lay out the basis and reasons for our proposed plan, they won’t be able to accept it?”

"This is not necessarily the case, Mayor Xu. Everyone's vision and mind, as well as everything he has experienced, will form his own world view and outlook on life in his heart, so his views on the development of things may not be consistent with ours. I Just because we can convince you does not mean that we can convince others. You must be fully mentally prepared on this point."
