Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The urban areas of Pudong and Shanghai are only separated by a river, but their environments and economic development are worlds apart.

    When Zhou Xingsheng secretly arranged for people to lease the land in Lujiazui, he did not visit it personally. The person in charge of handling the matter at that time was his father-in-law Liang Botao.

    Later, Liang Botao came back from the inspection and complained to him. The environment in Pudong was terrible.

    There are no buildings that are eye-catching. The tallest building is only five floors and is the former residence of the Chen family built during the Republic of China.  As for places to eat, you can't find a good one in the entire Pudong area. You have to take a bus across the river to the city to have a good meal.  As for Lujiazui, it is entirely farmland and the roads are muddy.  Among them is the "Mud Crossing Road". The reason why it is called this is because this road is not only bad, but also floods the Jinshan Mountain when it rains. The water outside the home is up to the knees. Crossing this road is like crossing a river.  of.  Other places are no better than the Mud Crossing Road. After going out for a while, your legs will be covered with mud.

    Two years have passed, and Zhou Xingsheng, the big boss behind the scenes, finally set foot on the land of Lujiazui for the first time. Of course, it was also the first time he set foot on Shanghai after his rebirth.

    In his previous life, Zhou Xingsheng came to have a good time, but he did not come to Pudong, but stayed near Xujiahui for a while.

    Zhou Xingsheng¡¯s most profound impression of Shanghai, or Xujiahui, was the ¡°narrowness¡±.

    Shanghai is an international financial metropolis with numerous high-rise buildings and wide asphalt roads and cement roads crisscrossing it. The word "narrow" seems to have nothing to do with it.  However, as long as you live in Shanghai for a period of time and then live in other second-tier cities for a period of time, everyone will immediately feel the "narrowness" of Shanghai.

    Because this "narrowness" is not a narrowness in scale, but a psychological narrowness.

    Indeed, there are many high-rise buildings with dozens of floors; the asphalt roads are also very wide, with either six or eight lanes.  Two or four lanes are rare.  However, none of this can change the feeling that people living in Shanghai feel that Shanghai is very crowded. Every building uses space to the extreme, saving as much as possible and making it as small as possible. Whether it is an apartment or a store, the space can only be said to be great.  It's exquisite!

    Zhou Xingsheng often sees storefronts that are only as wide as a desk in downtown Xujiahui. It¡¯s really a scam because they are wider, not longer.  It's only about one meter wide.

    When we look at large supermarkets such as Wal-Mart and RT-Mart, the space is also used to the extreme, and it becomes very crowded when there are more people.

    When there is no comparison, the above situations are nothing. Instead, you will feel that they are pretty good and smart enough. However, if you compare them with second-tier or other first-tier cities, you will find that these situations in Shanghai are too cheating. Living in Shanghai  It¡¯s not like living in a beautiful modern international metropolis at all.  Instead, it's like living in a birdcage.

    No wonder the TV series "Snail House" is very popular, and no wonder the "ant tribe" on the Internet is very popular. The working class in Shanghai is a true reflection of these.

    In addition, Zhou Xingsheng¡¯s second deep impression is that the housing prices in Shanghai are too high.

    Compared with other first- and second-tier cities.  The housing prices in Shanghai are at least three to four times higher. If you are not a powerful person with a monthly income of 30,000 to 40,000 yuan or a rich man with a net worth of millions or billions, going to Shanghai will be like living in a small house or an ant tribe.

    Of course, there are other good aspects to Shanghai.  For example, transportation and commodity prices have not been inflated due to the inflated housing prices. On the contrary, transportation is better than other places.  Prices are not much different from other cities.

    To sum up, Zhou Xingsheng came to the conclusion that the competition in Shanghai is too fierce. Only those who are fierce enough can enjoy a good life. Those who are slightly worse are like ants. They are full of bitterness and tears. This is like a devil.  The city can be called the "Magic City".

    Now that he came to Shanghai, Zhou Xingsheng was naturally filled with emotions.

    In his previous life, he was just a passer-by who came to Shanghai and left after a hasty farewell. He was a complete loser. If he really develops in Shanghai, I believe he will have no place to stand in the end.

    In this life, the entire land in Lujiazui was actually rented by him. In later generations, the prime location in Pudong was worth tens of billions or hundreds of billions.

    The difference between the two is no different than the difference between clouds and mud!

    ¡­¡­

    Zhou Xingsheng came to Shanghai at the invitation of the Shanghai Municipal Government, so when Zhou Xingsheng and his party arrived at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, they were warmly welcomed by the Shanghai Municipal Government.

    The Shanghai Municipal Government sent a large team to greet the guests, led by Zhao Qizheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, Minister of Organization, Secretary of the Party Working Committee and Director of the Management Committee of the newly established Pudong New District.

    As for the current Shanghai Municipal Party Committee Secretary and Mayor, Zhu Ji, the future Prime Minister who will fight corruption with an iron fist, has not come to pick him up.Instead, he formally met with Zhou Xingsheng and his party on behalf of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government the next day. After expressing enthusiasm, talks quickly began to discuss the use of the Lujiazui land.

    Zhou Xingsheng doesn¡¯t know who Zhao Qizheng is, and he doesn¡¯t want to know, because he doesn¡¯t remember this person as the future core of power of the mainland government.  There is only one person Zhou Xingsheng cares about, and that is Zhu Ji, who is now the Party Secretary and Mayor of Shanghai City.

    For Zhu Ji, Zhou Xingsheng is like a thunderbolt, and I believe that 99% of Chinese people are like a thunderbolt. He is an amazing big man.

    Zhu Ji is best known for his iron-fisted approach to dealing with corruption, so much so that when he resigned as prime minister after serving only one term, it immediately aroused strong public attention and indignation, with many questioning whether this good prime minister was suffering from vested interests.  It's unfair to get down because of the backlash from interest groups.

    ¡°Seriously speaking, Zhou Xingsheng only knows a little bit about Zhu Ji¡¯s corruption issues.  He only knew two things about Zhuji.

    One thing is that when Zhu Ji was running for mayor of Shanghai City, he proposed seven policy measures and set three administrative guidelines for cadres. He also presented a sentence: "Officials do not fear my strictness, but fear my integrity; the people do not fear me."  If you are capable, you should be afraid of my father; if you are public, the people will not be arrogant, and if you are honest, officials will not dare to bully you. If you are honest, you will be wise, and if you are honest, you will be powerful."

    The second thing is that Zhu Ji made a report on anti-corruption at a central meeting, saying that he had prepared 100 coffins, 99 for corrupt officials and 1 for himself.

    In Zhou Xingsheng¡¯s impression, when government leaders, especially central leaders, speak in meetings, they must be extremely subtle, tactful and elegant.  We must be aggressive and leave three points of leeway in everything. Hello, I am good, everyone.  What he didn't expect was that Zhu Ji, the prime minister of a big country, actually spoke nakedly during the meeting: I want to rectify the corruption problem, I want to fight tigers, I have prepared 100 coffins, one for myself, and the rest  Leave it to the corrupt officials, I will investigate and deal with them with the determination to die together!

    This overturned Zhou Xingsheng¡¯s impression of central leadership.  The impression on Zhu Ji became extremely profound.

    Although in later generations, the problem of corruption has always been a stubborn problem that has plagued China and has never been completely solved. I believe that even in another hundred years, the problem of corruption will still not be solved. However, Zhu Ji can boldly fight against corruption during his term.  , even if Zhou Xingsheng does not agree with such tough methods, he still has to admire Zhu Ji and recognize him as a good prime minister for the people.

    "We are willing to make compensation elsewhere. Or recover the premium. Of course, if Mr. Zhou agrees to our development plan for Lujiazui, we are still willing to continue to cooperate with Mr. Zhou. I wonder what Mr. Zhou thinks?  Or" at the negotiation table.  Zhu Ji said eloquently. Although there was a smile on his face, his face was clumsy, especially the two thick eyebrows that stood upright.  It still made him look very majestic.

    Zhou Xingsheng closely observed this giant who would have a high reputation and huge influence all over the world in the future. While secretly sighing, he couldn't help but think: "The ancients said that the majesty is born, most likely it is like Zhu Ji. Even if it is not  The Prime Minister is not the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, he is just an ordinary person. With his appearance, anyone will feel guilty at first glance."

    After what Zhu Ji said, Zhou Xingsheng understood three meanings.

    One is that he completely withdraws from the development of Lujiazui and gives up all the land in his hands.

    One is to semi-participate in the development of Lujiazui, part of the land will be transferred and part of the land will be retained for ourselves.

    One is full participation, and no land will be given away, but it must cooperate with the Shanghai Municipal Government to jointly form a development company. The two parties will negotiate for the development of Lujiazui, and the Shanghai Municipal Government will need to hold a controlling stake.

    After pondering for a while, Zhou Xingsheng raised his head, looked directly at Zhu Ji, and replied with a smile: "I agree to form a company with your government to develop this land. I can also give in and let your government hold the company, but I have  One condition is that the company must operate in a market-oriented manner, and your government cannot administratively interfere with the company¡¯s operations.¡±

    It is impossible to completely withdraw from the development of Lujiazui. It is impossible for him to spit out the fat in his mouth.

    By half-exploiting Lujiazui, although he spit out some of the fat, he still gained huge benefits and it was an optional choice.

    However, compared with the third option, although the third option is to jointly develop with the Shanghai Municipal Government and the Shanghai Municipal Government becomes the controlling shareholder, in terms of benefits, it is still not as great as the third option.

    In addition to more direct benefits, other invisible benefits are also aspects that Zhou Xingsheng needs to consider.

    ??Joining a company with the Shanghai Municipal Government to develop Lujiazui is tantamount to being tied to the Shanghai Municipal Government and becoming people in the same boat.  Don't mention the resultThe fact that Secretary Zhu was in front of him was tied to the Shanghai Municipal Government, which was enough to make Zhou Xingsheng excited and take action.

    " However, when forming a company with the government and having the government hold a controlling stake, one must guard against a problem, which is that laymen know the experts and administrative interference in the company's operations.

    Many companies that were originally promising were because the layman knew the insiders, and the government's administrative interference for no reason, in the end not only failed to grow further, but went bankrupt in development. Of course, Zhou Xingsheng had to prevent this problem.  Even facing Zhu Ji, he did not hesitate to put forward this condition.

    Unexpectedly, after Zhu Ji heard his conditions, he immediately burst into laughter and said: "Mr. Zhou can rest assured that laymen know what insiders know, and there is no way that we, the municipal party committee and the government, will let him happen!  "(To be continued)
