Shen Huai accompanied Li Gu to Beitang District, mainly to inspect the renovation of the old city and the relocation of factories and enterprises.
During the early development of Xucheng after the founding of the People's Republic of China, we did not expect that the scale of the city would grow to such a large scale. Many factories originally built on the periphery of the city were gradually surrounded by residential areas.
A considerable part of these residential areas are employee dormitories and public housing built by enterprises, as well as fund-raising housing, commercial housing, etc. that were successively built with funds to improve employee housing conditions after the 1980s. The environment of collective housing and commercial housing communities is not bad at present, but the conditions of the large-scale tube buildings used as staff dormitories and residences that began in the 1950s and 1960s can only be regarded as careless, and there are private courtyards and courtyards mixed in there. As well as privately built shantytowns squeezed out of nooks and crannies, the conditions are quite harsh.
In addition, early urban construction did not pay enough attention to environmental management. Many enterprises and domestic wastewater were discharged directly without treatment, making the city roads and rivers dirty, and there was a strong smell when approaching. It cannot be considered a good human settlement. environment.
Although Xiong Wenbin proposed a new scale of urban construction and development, the municipal party committee, city government and the province must build Xucheng into a world-class super city, but the current actual situation in Xucheng is quite not optimistic.
Old city reconstruction involves all aspects. The first step is to move industrial enterprises that are not suitable for development within the city to peripheral industrial parks.
Factory relocation is a good thing, not only conducive to urban transformation, but also conducive to the company's own industrial and technological upgrading. The key issue is that it requires a large amount of capital investment. Meishan Iron and Steel invested one billion to build a new refining and chemical base in the Zhunan Industrial Park. Therefore, it demolished the old refinery that seriously affected the environment on the north bank of the Zhujiang River and built a riverside business district.
To relocate nearly 200 industrial enterprises in Huaihai Province and Xucheng City that are not suitable for development in Xucheng City, even if industrial technology upgrading is not considered, an investment of 20 to 30 billion will be needed to replace the land. Development and construction also require a large amount of start-up capital.
Although the finances in the province and Xucheng City have improved a lot compared with previous years, they are still far from being well-off. How to better integrate enterprise restructuring, industrial transfer and other work with urban construction is the key to Shenhuai during this period. I focused on discussing and trying to solve the problems with Li Gu, Xiong Wenbin and others.
Xucheng has 13 districts and counties, not to mention the four counties and two suburbs that are far away from the main urban area. Currently, the focus is on the development of five districts and two new districts. Among them, Jingu District is located in the center of the old city. Every inch of land in its Xinshi Street business district is very valuable. , the land replaced is valuable, and it is also the city's priority to start the old city reconstruction area; Qinjiang District has also started the construction of the riverside business district, and the construction of new urban areas in Zhunan New District with Pengyue Modern City as the core is larger, but Beitang and other Movement in urban areas is much slower due to constraints.
Speaking of conditions, Beitang, the old state-owned enterprise gathering areas, lacks a mature business district, the performance of state-owned enterprises has declined year by year, profits and taxes have dropped sharply, district-level finances are weak, and they are not the focus of the city's investment in transformation, so it is naturally more difficult to talk about. What city building.
Accompanied by Beitang District Party Committee Secretary Zhang Yian, Deputy Secretary Zhou Weimin, Provincial Textile Group Party Committee Secretary and General Manager Ma Tianbo and others, Shen Huai and Li Gu chose a residential area for employees of a factory affiliated to the Provincial Textile Group to learn about the situation.
The convoy stopped outside the alley. The street was quite high, and everything you could see was low shantytowns. It was no exaggeration to call it a slum. Walking into the alley, the narrow alley was paved with green bricks and had many potholes. Children were playing in the alley. , seeing so many groups of people running over, it was like a flock of frightened birds flying back to each house's yard, looking out.
The walls are high and the courtyard is deep. From the outside, the courtyard looks quite large. When you walk in, you can see that various families have built sheds in their houses, squeezing the large courtyard into only a few narrow passages.
Shen Huai and Li Gu both randomly selected places to inspect. Neither Beitang District nor the Provincial Textile Group made any preparations in advance. They randomly entered the yard and crossed the threshold. There were many clotheslines crisscrossed in the yard. They are all covered in clothes.
A gust of wind blew from nowhere, blowing up a pair of white cotton pants and blowing the head and face of the chairman of the provincial textile group union who was introducing the situation to Shen Huai, Li Gu and others. Wrapped inside.
A bunch of people couldn¡¯t laugh even if they wanted to, they just held it in there.
Shen Huai saw that the corner of the corridor was piled with briquettes, firewood and other debris. Several children were hiding behind their own doors and curiously looking into the yard. Several adults were playing chess in the yard and recognized the new boss. Li Gulai, mayor of Xucheng City.
Choosing a family that was an employee of the Provincial Textile Group, Shen Huai and Li Gu walked in.
It was not yet dark at this time, and the setting sun hung high in the western sky, but the lights in the room still made people feel dim. In the small living room and dining room, there were many things placed against the wallThere is a dunk basket on the table, covering the leftover food from lunch, leaving little room to stand.
The room was too narrow, so Shen Huai and Li Gu pulled up a bench and sat down, chatting with the head of the household. An official from the Provincial Textile Group wanted to squeeze in, but accidentally hit his forehead on the lintel of the door, causing pain. De frowned, Shen Huai waved his hand and said: "You guys wait outside, don't crowd in"
Asked about the living conditions of the head of the household, Shen Huai raised his hand and opened the dunk basket on the table. He saw two bowls and a porcelain basin inside. There were a few slices of pickled radish in one bowl, and there were some in another bowl. There was half a bowl of fried vegetables left and half a bowl of rice in the porcelain basin. You can imagine what this family had for lunch.
Neither Shen Huai nor Li Gu said anything. After the visit, they walked out of the alley and sat back in the car. Shen Huai took out a cigarette, gave one to Li Gu, lit it and said:
¡°These families are typical representatives of the current living standards of the families of struggling workers in Xucheng City.¡±
¡°The Provincial Textile Group needs to undergo restructuring, reduce staff and increase efficiency, and a group of people will have to be transferred to other positions,¡± Li Gu said.
"If we change it, we can still find a way to survive; if we don't change it, everyone will be dragged to death in it," Shen Huai said while smoking a cigarette. "The subsidy standard may be raised appropriately, but that's all we can do at the moment. .¡±
At this moment, Zhou Weimin, deputy secretary of the Beitang District Party Committee, came from behind and said through the car window:
"Mayor Li, Director Shen, Mr. Ye from Huaineng Group, and Mr. Xie from Jinding happen to be in Beitang today to discuss matters. Do you want everyone to have a meal in Beitang tonight?"
Zhang Yian, secretary of the Beitang District Party Committee, had something to do in his hometown. He had to leave Xucheng directly after the accompanying visit. The task of arranging the dinner party naturally fell on Zhou Weimin. Of course, the main reason is that Zhang Yian is 60 years old this year, which is enough. The age of direct retirement was also proposed by the former mayor Zhou Renjun. At this age, he would naturally no longer try his best to please the new mayor.
Giving the opportunity to Zhou Weimin also showed that Zhang Yian was magnanimous and courteous.
Li Gu glanced at Shen Huai and asked for his opinion.
He thought to himself: Shen Huai supported Wei Nanhui to suppress Song Hongqi in the Huaihai Bay regional cooperation, which was a bad breath within the Song family. However, the long-term separation actually caused more damage to Song Qiaosheng's family, and they had nothing to do with Shen Huai's strong backbone. , it is estimated that the relationship within the Song Dynasty needs to be bridged and repaired. At this time, Ye Xuanfeng and Xie Chengjiang agreed that Zhou Weimin would bring them together for a dinner, right?
"I happen to have something to discuss with Zhou Weimin tonight. Do you have any plans for the evening?" Shen Huai asked Li Gu.
Zhou Weimin didn¡¯t even know what Shen Huai wanted to talk to him about, but no matter what Shen Huai wanted to talk to him about, it would be a hundred times better than not talking to him at all. He immediately looked at Li Gu with a more expectant look.
"Then I'll stay for a meal tonight." Li Gu didn't know what else Shen Huai wanted to ask Zhou Weimin for, so he agreed to stay for dinner, thinking that if Zhang Yian retreated, he would have to win over someone who was the leader of the party and government in Beitang District. People, all aspects of Zhou Weimin's evaluation is not bad, and although Zhou Weimin also has the idea of ????entering into a business, his resume is not that complicated, and he is also willing to have more contact with Shen Huai. Zhou Weimin, and then ordered, "I will arrange for your area tonight. In the government cafeteria, it¡¯s simpler¡¡±
Shen Huai followed Xu Jian who was walking behind Zhou Weimin and said, "Tell Secretary Ma that two people from the Provincial Textile Group will stay for dinner."
When going to the Beitang District Government cafeteria to eat, two tables are enough. Shen Huai doesn't like five or six tables of noisy drinking, and nothing can be discussed. Li Gu is accompanied by the secretary-general of the municipal government and his secretary. Asking the Provincial Textile Group to leave two or three people to accompany the banquet, Zhou Weimin should know how many tables of wine to arrange.
It was not early, so Shen Huai and Li Gu rushed directly to the Beitang District Government.
Shen Huai and Li Gu arrived by car. Ye Xuanfeng and Xie Chengjiang were already waiting in front of the Beitang District Government Logistics Building.
It is said to be a canteen, but the logistics building has a complete range of large and small private rooms and top chefs. The ingredients and drinks are not bad. The biggest advantage is that the canteen is run by the government itself. It uses the best high-end ingredients and drinks, which are better than those in star hotels. Much cheaper and less criticized for eating and drinking.
The two waiters in the private room were both smart and beautiful, and their hands and feet were quick and easy. They seemed to have received professional training from high-end hotels in guiding everyone to their seats.
Guo Ting's brother-in-law, Zhang Dehua, the fat man he met in Shangxi Garden last time and the head of the Beitang District Government Logistics Management Center, greeted Shen Huai with a smile on his face: "Secretary Shen, do you still remember me? What kind of food do you and Mayor Li like to eat? I will cook it for you today"
Shen Huai, Li Gu and Ye Xuanfeng introduced Zhang Dehua and said, "He is Guo Ting's brother-in-law and Deputy Secretary Zhou's favorite general."
"thisZhang Dehua is oily and has a loose mouth, but he is commendable for cooking good food. Zhou Weimin said with a smile, not wanting to bring Zhang Dehua closer to him.
Ye Xuanfeng seemed to be unfamiliar with the name Guo Ting and asked Shen Huai: "Guo Ting? Is he the person you want to put in charge of Yuanye Automobile Industry Group?"
"Yes, he just passed the internal review of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission two days ago," Shen Huai nodded and said, "But the final personnel decision-making power does not lie with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission."
Before the State-owned Assets Office was established, the State-owned Assets Working Committee had limited power. It could only recommend the management of state-owned enterprises, and even had insufficient power to conduct assessment and review. After the establishment of the State-owned Assets Leading Group and the State-owned Assets Office, the jurisdiction over provincial enterprises was reduced. greatly enhanced.
At present, in addition to the disciplinary inspection work carried out by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, the dual leading group of the State-owned Assets Leading Group and the State-owned Assets Office can decide almost all matters within the state-owned assets system, including personnel and restructuring.
Shen Huai said that the personnel decision-making power does not lie with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. In fact, as long as he gets Xu Pei's nod, the little-known Guo Ting will directly take charge of the Yuanye Automobile Industry Group after the split.
"Provincial Automobile has integrated the passenger car department into Dongshi Group. The remaining commercial vehicles, especially medium-sized buses, still have some roots. You recommended Guo Ting to be responsible for Provincial Automobile. Many people are quite surprised. There have been people in the past two days. Ask me to find out who this Guo Ting is," Ye Xuanfeng said, "I know that you have always been unscrupulous in hiring people in Donghua, but it always works wonders. What ability does this Guo Ting have that makes you interested? You probably won't wait until He only revealed this mystery after he achieved some results, right?"
Xie Chengjiang knew that Ye Xuanfeng asked so many questions and had the intention to take the initiative to repair the relationship, but he didn't know if Shen Huai would accept this.
"If I pretend to be mysterious, I won't be able to pass the internal evaluation of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, including Secretary Jiang and Director Ding," Shen Huai patiently explained to Ye Xuanfeng why he fell in love with Guo Ting alone, and said with a smile, "Guo Ting only left Provincial Automobile at the end of 1998. He had previously been responsible for the technical departments of commercial vehicles and sedans in Provincial Automobile. His professional and leadership abilities have long been recognized. Pucheng also asked Guo Ting to take charge of the sedan project. Careful weighing. The reason why I recommend Guo Ting actually starts with the differences in the development route of Provincial Automobile in the past few years. In the 1980s, Provincial Automobile had a certain foundation in the medium-sized bus market and production. Nine In the mid-to-early 1900s, overseas bus companies entered the Chinese market one after another through joint ventures or technical cooperation, and Provincial Automobile also wanted to seize this opportunity. During the cooperation negotiations, serious differences arose within Provincial Automobile. Guo Ting was the advocate of Provincial Automobile at that time A representative who adheres to the bottom line of technical cooperation, emphasizes technology assimilation, and promotes independent production of major parts. Although Guo Ting's ideas were not realized, in the later stage of the provincial automobile province, he focused on the introduction of sedan production lines, and his performance in the sedan department fell sharply. Guo Ting was ordered to go to He presides over the car technical department and is unable to turn the tide, but I still feel that we can try to follow his ideas in the future development direction of Yuanye¡¯s passenger car products"
Shen Huai explained so patiently, not because of the favor of Ye Xuanfeng. Liu Jizhou has been contracted to run the Dongshi Automobile Factory for nearly ten years, forming a complete and efficient team that he can use like an arm and a finger to take over the reorganization of the Yuanye Passenger Car Department. The difficulty will not be too great, but Guo Ting Yuanye Automobile Industry Group is only a deputy director and has been away from Yuanye Automobile for a year and a half. Although Shen Huai will transfer Zhou Danian, Qi Jiancheng and other people from Yuanye, most of them will Most of the middle-level managers who are young and powerful have to be left to Guo Ting to select and appoint them.
When Guo Ting returns to the wilderness, he needs to establish his authority and implement his ideas to develop the new wilderness. Shen Huai needs more support from the outside. At the same time, Shen Huai also needs Jiang Yibin, Ding Jianguo and even Xu Peineng to have confidence in Guo Ting, so Necessary explanations must also be given.
Ye Xuanfeng has been dealing with Shen Huai for so many years, and naturally knows that he has his own uniqueness in employing people. This is also one of the foundations for Meishan Iron and Steel to develop and rise.
He could hear Shen Huai's detailed explanation at this time, and he suddenly had the illusion that Shen Huai might be considered a quite gentle person, but seeing that Li Gu, Zhou Weimin and others here were thinking deeply, he realized that Shen Huai Huai's greater intention is to build momentum for Guo Ting and let others know that Guo Ting has long formed his own development thinking with his own characteristics in the automobile industry.
Xie Chengjiang saw that Shen Huai was talking more openly today, so he took this opportunity to ask: "I heard that the Provincial State-owned Assets Office is going to establish a new real estate development group in the next three to five years. The city has developed and built over tens of thousands acres of commercial and residential buildings¡ªis this news true?¡±
"You are quite well informed. The discussion is only within the Provincial State-owned Assets Office. Mayor Li may not even know about it."
"My information is not that closed. If Cheng Jiang doesn't ask this question, I will talk to you about it." Li Gu said with a smile, everyone who can sit at this table is qualified.Knowing the secret, he wanted Shen Huai to talk about his thoughts in detail.
"I hope, right now it's just my inner hope. Whether it can come true or not, I have to say," Shen Huai said with a smile. If he wants to implement his plan, he will naturally have to persuade more people to support and participate in it. Possibility of success, "I hope that the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission will establish a wholly state-owned real estate group, and in the next five years, together with the Provincial Construction Engineering Group, we can develop more than 6 million square meters of land for Xucheng construction, including residential, emerging industries, offices, Urban construction including commerce, etc"
"Six million square meters?" Li Gu wanted to talk to Shen Huai about this matter in detail in the past two days, but when he heard him say this number, he was stunned for a while and said, "In recent years, Xucheng's urban construction has been still It is accelerating, but the new urban area last year was less than 1.5 million square meters. According to your expectations, the provincial state-owned assets office alone will develop such a real estate group in the next five years on average to develop 1.2 million square meters per year. With the new construction, several large real estate developers such as Rongxin and Zhujiang Construction will develop 1.2 million square meters of residential, commercial and office buildings every year. If other small and medium real estate developers are added together, Xucheng City¡¯s The urban construction speed will probably be more than three times that of before"
Xie Chengjiang heard Ye Xuanfeng say at the construction site in the afternoon that Shen Huai was going to form a provincial real estate group and that all the land after the provincial state-owned enterprise factories were relocated would be put into this real estate group. He speculated that the scale would not be small, but he did not expect Shen Huai's The tiger's mouth is so wide open. Pengyue Modern City and Ronshine's New World Plaza are two super large-scale comprehensive development real estate projects with a total construction area of ??about 1.6 million square meters. They will be completed in about five years. The development is complete, and Shen Huai is going to form this provincial state-owned real estate group. The development in Xucheng within five years will be four times that of Pengyue Modern City and New World Plaza.
Xie Chengjiang couldn¡¯t imagine how Rongxin Hu Lin and Luo Xiaotian would scold their mothers when the supply suddenly increased so much. He also couldn¡¯t imagine how Shen Huai could persuade such objections within Meishan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd.
A sudden increase in supply will severely weaken the sales of Pengyue Modern City.
Xie Chengjiang doesn¡¯t even know whether the future development focus of Jinding Real Estate will be transferred from Xucheng. He just knows how difficult it is for outsiders to change Shen Huai¡¯s mind.
Shen Huai saw the expressions on the faces of Xie Chengjiang and Ye Xuanfeng, but smiled and explained to Li Gu, saying:
"As you can see from today's visit, the housing conditions of most families in Xucheng are not much better than what we see today. Now there are three million people in Xucheng's urban area, and the total residential area is less than 35 million square meters. , the per capita living area is less than 12 square meters. In the future, Xucheng City will develop into a megacity with a population of more than 5 million, and the per capita residential area will be doubled, which means that Xucheng alone has 8,500 residences. A gap of 10,000 square meters. The province has established a real estate group that will include improving employee housing, covering office buildings, housing for the development of emerging industries, and comprehensive commerce. A total of 6 million square meters of new buildings will be developed in Xucheng within five years. So what? Scary?"
"The key is to develop the economy and industry. While the demand for housing is increasing day by day, per capita income rises and purchasing power improves, Xucheng will have an additional 350 million square meters of residential demand in the future. It will not be too surprising." It's surprising." Li Gu nodded, and he also appreciated being able to look at the urban development of Xucheng from a more macro-role, rather than being limited to the interests of the Mei Gang family.
Xie Chengjiang secretly smacked his tongue. The theoretical demand was just a theory, but he might refute what Shen Huai and Li Gu said. The population of Donghua City was only one-third of that of Jiangning. However, Donghua City, Meixi New District, plus Xiapu Lin The new urban construction area of ??Hong Kong New City last year exceeded one million square meters. From these data, we can indeed see the powerful role of industrial development in urban development; Shen Huai has indeed long ago proposed the promotion of industrial development. The theory of urban development¡
But even so, Shenhuai¡¯s formation of a provincial state-owned real estate group will put great pressure on all real estate developers in Xucheng City. With such a large supply, housing prices will not be expected to increase significantly within three to five years.
Shen Huai smiled and said to Li Gu: "The Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission will not delay until the deadline of 2003 to finally stop the welfare housing allocation of provincial enterprises. Within this year, we plan to allocate all units related to fund-raising for housing construction." As a transition, the province also needs to establish a real estate development group after cutting off the departments. On the other hand, it should be said that it was a plan submitted by Beitang District that impressed me"
"What plan in Beitang District moved you?" Li Gu asked.
There were so many plans and bills submitted by the districts and counties to the city that Li Gu could not think of any plan that was directly related to the Provincial State-owned Assets Office and could impress Shen Huai.
"Of course, this plan was not submitted directly to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. I also learned about the relevant situation when I went to the Provincial Textile Group for research. This is what I am looking for Zhou.The reason for the secretary¡¯s conversation. "Shen Huai said.
When Shen Huai said this, Li Gu thought of what was going on and asked, "Are you talking about the expansion of Huaxi Comprehensive Wholesale Market?"
The Beitang District Huaxi Comprehensive Wholesale Market is a project that Zhou Weimin has been responsible for since he came to Beitang District as the executive deputy district chief. He also resigned from his position as Secretary of the Working Committee of the Huaxi Market Management Committee and Chairman of the Development Corporation until a year ago.
After its completion, Huaxi Comprehensive Wholesale Market took advantage of the transportation advantages of being close to the train station and long-distance passenger station. In four years, it formed a business scale of nearly 2,000 merchants and developed into the largest small and medium-sized commodity distribution center in Huaihai Province. Last year, the transaction volume was confirmed to exceed 1.5 billion. (The actual amount may be much higher), and the number of direct jobs created is close to 20,000.
Huaxi Comprehensive Wholesale Market can be said to be the most successful project launched in Beitang District in recent years.
Zhou Weimin was naturally excited when he heard Shen Huai and Li Gu discussing something that he was very proud of, but Xiaoyi kept his face and listened patiently to the conversation between Shen Huai and Li Gu.
"The Huaxi Market is close to the printing and dyeing factory of the Provincial Textile Group. It has developed very well in recent years. Currently, the number of merchants is becoming saturated, and it is in great need to expand to the surrounding areas. At the same time, the pollution problem of the printing and dyeing factory of the Provincial Textile Group is a headache for Beitang District. , Beitang District proposed to the Provincial Textile Group that it would invest in buying the land of the printing and dyeing factory for the expansion of Huaxi Market," Shen Huai said with a smile, "The plan proposed by Beitang District kills two birds with one stone. I understand The Huaxi Comprehensive Market was a project promoted by Deputy Secretary Zhou when he was the executive deputy district mayor, so I just wanted to find out from him the details of the expansion of the Huaxi Market"
"You are just a weasel giving New Year's greetings to the chicken, you don't have good intentions," Li Gu raised his eyebrows and said, "You are not thinking of setting up a real estate group in the province and developing this land yourself, are you?"
"That's right," Shen Huai said with a calm smile, "The rich water will not flow to other people's land. If the province establishes a real estate group, it can completely use this land to develop the second phase of the Huaxi Wholesale Market project. There is no need to leave it to others"
"But hearing what Shen Huai said, Zhou Weimin couldn't help but want to smile bitterly. The province has formed a real estate group to seize projects in Beitang District. What else can he say except a bitter smile? Shen Huai wanted to ask him about the plan to develop the second phase of Huaxi Market. How could he keep it secret?
