Steel Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 991: Huaxi Market

(One more 6,700 words to ask for a monthly ticket)

Shen Huai accompanied Li Gu to Beitang District, mainly to inspect the renovation of the old city and the relocation of factories and enterprises.

In the early development of Xucheng after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, it was unexpected that the scale of the city would grow to such a large scale. Many factories that were originally built on the outskirts of the city were gradually surrounded by residential areas.

A considerable number of these residential areas are staff dormitories and public housing built by enterprises, as well as fund-raising houses and commercial houses built after the 1980s to improve the housing conditions of workers. The environment of fund-raising houses and commercial housing communities is not bad at present. However, in the 1950s and 1960s, the large-scale construction of the bungalows, which were used as staff dormitories and residences, can only be regarded as sloppy. As well as the shanty towns built privately from the nooks and crannies, the conditions are quite bad.

At the same time, in the early urban construction, there was insufficient consideration for environmental management. Many enterprises and domestic wastewater were directly discharged without treatment, which made the urban river channel dirty, and there was a pungent stench when approached. surroundings.

Although Xiong Wenbin proposed a new scale of urban construction and development, the municipal party committee, municipal government and the province must build Xucheng into a world-class super-large city, but the actual situation of Xucheng is not optimistic.

The transformation of the old city involves various aspects. The first step is to relocate industrial enterprises that are not suitable for development in the urban area to the peripheral industrial parks.

The relocation of the factory area is a good thing. It is not only conducive to the transformation of the urban area, but also to the industrial and technological upgrading of the enterprise itself. The key problem is that it requires a large amount of capital investment. Meigang invested one billion to build a new refining and chemical base in the Zhunan Industrial Park, so it dismantled the old refinery that seriously affected the environment on the north bank of the Zhujiang River to build a Binjiang business district.

To move out nearly 200 industrial enterprises belonging to Huaihai Province and Xucheng City that are not suitable for development in Xucheng District, even without considering the upgrading of industrial technology, it will need to invest 20 to 30 billion yuan – to replace the land, Development and construction also require a lot of start-up capital.

Now in the province and Xucheng, although the finances are much better than in previous years, it is still not enough. How to better integrate the work of enterprise restructuring and industrial transfer with urban construction is Shen Huai’s period of time. With Li Gu, Xiong Wenbin and others, we focused on discussing and groping the problems to be solved.

There are thirteen districts and counties in Xucheng, not to mention the four counties and two suburbs which are far from the main city. 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. , the replaced land is expensive, and it is also the city’s priority to start the renovation of the old city; Qinjiang District has also started the construction of the Binjiang business district, and the construction of the new urban district with Pengyue Modern City as the core in Zhunan New District is larger, but Beitang and other The movement in urban areas is much slower due to constraints.

When it comes to conditional constraints, these old state-owned enterprise clusters in Beitang lack a well-established commercial area. The efficiency of state-owned enterprises has been declining year by year, profits and taxes have dropped sharply, and the district-level finance is weak and sluggish. It is not the focus of the city’s investment in transformation, so it is naturally more difficult to talk about. What a city building.

Accompanied by Zhang Yi’an, Secretary of the Beitang District Party Committee, Zhou Weimin, Deputy Secretary, and Ma Tianbo, Secretary of the Party Group and General Manager of the Provincial Textile Group, Shen Huai and Li Gu chose a residential area for employees of a subsidiary of the Provincial Textile Group to understand the situation.

The motorcade parked outside the alley. The street was quite high, and there were low-rise shantytowns everywhere. It was no exaggeration to say that it was a slum; , watching so many groups of people running over, as if frightened flocks of birds flew back into the courtyards of their homes, looking out.

The walls are high and the yard is deep. From the outside, you can see the large yard. When you walk in, you can see that the houses are full of sheds, and the large yard is crowded so that there are only a few narrow passages left.

Shen Huai and Li Gu both randomly selected places to inspect, but Beitang District and the Provincial Textile Group failed to make any preparations in advance. All full of clothes.

I don’t know where the wind was blowing for a while, blowing up a pair of white cotton wool pants, and covering the head and face of the chairman of the provincial textile group trade union who was introducing the situation to Shen Huai, Li Gu and others behind his back. packaged inside.

A whole bunch of people can’t laugh if they want to, they just hold it there.

Shen Huai saw that the corners of the corridor were full of briquettes, firewood and other sundries, and several children were hiding behind their own doors and looked curiously into the yard; a few adults were playing chess in the yard, recognizing the newly appointed Li Gulai, the mayor of Xucheng.

Picking a family that was an employee of the Provincial Textile Group, Shen Huai and Li Gu walked in.

At this time, it was not dark yet, and the setting sun hung high in the western sky, but the lights in the house still made people feel dim. In the small living room and dining room, there was a slam dunk on the square table against the wall. After eating the leftover meals at noon, there is not much space left to stand.

The room was too narrow. Shen Huai and Li Gu sat down on a bench and chatted with the head of the household. An official from the Provincial Textile Group wanted to squeeze in, but he didn’t notice that his forehead slammed into the lintel, causing pain. Frowning, Shen Huai waved his hand and said, “You wait outside, don’t squeeze in…”

Asked about the living conditions of the householder’s family, Shen Huai raised his hand and lifted the dunk on the table. He saw two bowls and a porcelain basin, a few pieces of pickled radish in one bowl, and a With half a bowl of fried vegetables left, and half a bowl of rice in a porcelain pot, you can imagine what the family ate for lunch.

Shen Huai and Li Gu didn’t say anything, ended the visit, walked out of the alley, sat back in the car, Shen Huai took out a cigarette, distributed one to Li Gu, lit the cigarette and said:

“Now the living standards of the families of the poor workers in Xucheng City, these families are typical representatives.”

“The Provincial Textile Group is going to carry out restructuring, reduce staff and increase efficiency, and there will be a group of people who will be transferred.” Li Gu said.

“If you change it, you can still find a way to survive; if you don’t change it, everyone will be dragged to death,” Shen Huai said, smoking a cigarette, “The subsidy standard may be appropriately increased, and that’s all we can do at the moment. .”

At this moment, Zhou Weimin, deputy secretary of the Beitang District Party Committee, came over from behind and said through the car window:

“Mayor Li, Director Shen, President Ye of Huaineng Group, and President Xie of Jinding happened to be talking in Beitang today. Would you like everyone to have dinner in Beitang tonight?”

Zhang Yi’an, secretary of the Beitang District Party Committee, has something to do in his hometown. After accompanying the visit, he will leave Xucheng directly. The work of arranging the reception dinner will naturally fall on Zhou Weimin – of course, the main reason is that Zhang Yi’an has been for 60 years this year. The age of direct retirement is also a person who was promoted by the former mayor Zhou Renjun, so naturally he will no longer go to great lengths to please the new mayor.

Giving the opportunity to Zhou Weimin also showed that Zhang Yi’an was generous.

Li Gu glanced at Shen Huai and asked for his opinion.

He thought to himself: Shen Huai’s support for Wei Nanhui to suppress Song Hongqi in the cooperation in the Huaihai Bay area was regarded as a bad breath within the Song clan, but the long-term separation would actually hurt the Song Qiaosheng clan even more, and they had nothing to do with Shen Huai’s stubborn bone. It is estimated that there is a need for bridging and repairing the internal relations of the Song family. Ye Xuanfeng and Xie Chengjiang only agreed at this time that Zhou Weimin would bring them together into a dinner party, right?

“I just happened to be talking to Zhou Weimin tonight, do you have any plans for the evening?” Shen Huai asked Li Gu.

Zhou Weimin didn’t know what Shen Huai wanted to talk to him about, but no matter what Shen Huai asked him to talk about, it was a hundred times better than not talking to him, and immediately looked at Li Gu with a more expectant look.

“Then I’ll stay and have a meal at night.” Li Gu didn’t know what else Shen Huai had to do with Zhou Weimin, and agreed to stay for dinner, thinking that Zhang Yi’an would retire, and the leader of the party and government in Beitang District would always win over one. People, the evaluation of Zhou Weimin from all sides is not bad, and although Zhou Weimin also has the idea of going into the camp, his resume is not that complicated, and he is willing to get in touch with Shen Huai to get in touch with this Zhou Weimin. In the government cafeteria, it’s simpler…”

Shen Huai said to Xu Jian who was walking behind Zhou Weimin: “Tell Secretary Ma, the Provincial Textile Group will leave two people for dinner.”

When going to the dining hall of Beitang District Government, two tables are enough. Shen Huai doesn’t like to make a fuss about five or six tables, and nothing can be discussed. Li Gu is accompanied by the secretary and secretary of the municipal government. Let the provincial textile group keep two or three people to accompany the table, Zhou Weimin should know how to arrange a few tables of wine.

It was not too 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 is also full of large and small boxes. It is also a top chef. The ingredients and drinks are not bad. The biggest advantage is that the canteen is run by the government. The best high-end ingredients and drinks are better than star hotels. Much cheaper, and less accusations of eating and drinking.

The two waiters in the box are also beautiful, with quick hands and feet, and it seems that they have been professionally trained in high-end hotels to guide 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 dishes do you and Mayor Li like to eat, I will cook for you today…”

Shen Huai introduced Zhang Dehua to Li Gu and Ye Xuanfeng and said, “He is Guo Ting’s brother-in-law and the favorite general of Deputy Secretary Zhou.”

“This Zhang Dehua is slick, and his mouth is not hard, but he is commendable for cooking a good dish.” Zhou Weimin said with a smile, and did not want 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 that the person you want to be in charge of Yuanye Automobile Industry Group?”

“Yes, he just passed the internal review of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Office two days ago,” Shen Huai nodded and said, “but the final decision on personnel does not rest with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Office.”

Before the establishment of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the State-owned Enterprise Working Committee had limited powers, and only recommended the management of state-owned enterprises, and even had insufficient power to review and review. be greatly enhanced.

At present, with the exception of the provincial discipline inspection commission, the State-owned Assets Leading Group and the State-owned Assets Office’s dual leadership group can decide almost all matters in the state-owned assets system, including personnel and restructuring.

What Shen Huai said was not the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Office, but in fact, as long as Xu Pei’s nod, the little-known Guo Ting would directly take charge of the divided Yuanye Automobile Industry Group.

“Province Automobile merged the passenger car department into Dongshi Group. The remaining commercial vehicles, especially medium-sized passenger cars, still have some roots. You recommended Guo Ting to be in charge of Provincial Automobile. Many people are quite surprised. There have been people in these two days. Find me who this Guo Ting is,” Ye Xuanfeng said, “I know that you have always been imaginative in hiring people in Donghua, but you have always had miraculous effects. What kind of ability does this Guo Ting have to make you fancy? You probably won’t wait. After he made some achievements, he solved the mystery, right?”

Xie Chengjiang knew that Ye Xuanfeng asked so many questions and had the intention of taking the initiative to repair the relationship, but he didn’t know whether Shen Huai would accept this love.

“I’m going to pretend to be mystical, and I won’t be able to pass the comments from the State-owned Assets Office, Secretary Jiang, Director Ding and others.” Shen Huai patiently explained to Ye Xuanfeng why he only fell in love with Guo Ting, and laughed. “Guo Ting only left the provincial automobile at the end of 1998. He was in charge of the technical departments of commercial vehicles and cars in the provincial automobile. His professionalism and leadership ability have long been recognized. Pucheng asked Guo Ting to be responsible for the car project in the past. Serious weighing. The reason why I recommend Guo Ting is actually from the divergence of the internal development route of Provincial Auto in the past few years. Provincial Auto has a certain foundation in the mid-size passenger car market and production in the 1980s. IX In the mid-to-early 1910s, overseas bus companies entered the Chinese market through joint ventures or technical cooperation, and SAC also wanted to seize this opportunity. During the cooperation negotiation, serious differences emerged within SAC. Guo Ting was the advocate of SAC at that time. A representative of adhering to the bottom line of technical cooperation, emphasizing technology digestion, and promoting the independent production of main parts. Although Guo Ting’s proposition was not realized, and the provincial automobile later focused on the introduction of the car production line, the performance in the car department fell sharply, Guo Ting was ordered to go I am in charge of the car technology department and have no ability to turn the tide, but I still think that the future development direction of passenger car products in the wilderness can try to follow his ideas…”

Shen Huai’s patient explanation is not to say that it is to inherit Ye Xuanfeng’s face. Liu Jizhou has been contracted to operate the Dongshi Automobile Plant for nearly ten years, forming a complete and efficient team that he uses as an arm and a finger, and took over the consolidation and consolidation of the field passenger car department. The difficulty will not be too big, but Guo Ting Yuanye Automobile Industry Group is only a sub-department, and it takes a year and a half to leave Yuanye Automobile. Although Shen Huai will transfer Zhou Danian, Qi Jiancheng and other people from Yuanye, he will Most of the young and powerful middle-level managers are also left to Guo Ting for selection.

Guo Ting needs to establish authority when he returns to the wilderness, and to implement the idea of promoting him to develop the new wilderness, Shen Huai needs to give him more external support – 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 are also given.

Ye Xuanfeng has dealt with Shen Huai for so many years, and naturally he knows that he has his own uniqueness in employing people, which is also one of the foundations for Meigang’s development and rise.

He could hear Shen Huai’s detailed explanation at this time, and he suddenly had an illusion that Shen Huai might be considered a rather gentle person, but seeing that Li Gu, Zhou Weimin and others present were all thoughtful, they knew that Shen Huai was Huai’s bigger intention is to build momentum for Guo Ting and let others know that Guo Ting has long formed a development thinking with his personal characteristics in the auto industry.

Xie Chengjiang saw that Shen Huai’s chatterbox was more open today, and he didn’t let people be hesitant, so he took this opportunity to ask: “I heard that the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Office will set up a new real estate development group recently. The urban development and construction of more than tens of thousands of acres of commercial and residential construction – is this news true?”

“Your news is quite well-informed. It was only discussed within the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Office. Mayor Li may not even know about it.”

“My news is not so closed, Cheng Jiang doesn’t ask this question, I will also talk to you about it.” Li Gu said with a smile, who can sit at this table is also qualified to know the secrets, so I want to let you know. Shen Huai talked about his thoughts in detail.

“I hope, it’s just what I want in my heart. Whether it can be achieved or not, let’s talk about it,” Shen Huai said with a smile. He wants to implement his plan, and naturally he has to persuade more people to support and participate in it. The possibility of success, “I hope that the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Office will establish a wholly state-owned real estate group, and in the next five years, together with the Provincial Construction Engineering Group, will be able to develop more than 6 million square meters 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 something quite specific in the past two days, but when he heard him say this number, he was stunned for a while, and said, “The urban construction of Xucheng in the past few years is still the same. It is accelerating, but the newly built area in the urban area was less than 1.5 million square meters last year. According to your expectation, only the provincial state-owned assets office will set up such a real estate group to develop an average of 1.2 million square meters each year in the next five years. With the addition of new buildings, 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, and then add up other small and medium real estate developers. The speed of urban construction, I’m afraid it will be more than three times the previous…”

Xie Chengjiang heard at the construction site in the afternoon that Ye Xuanfeng said that Shen Huai would set up a provincial real estate group, and put all the land after the relocation of the provincial state-owned enterprise into this real estate group. Hukou is so big. Pengyue Modern City and Ronshine’s New World Plaza, two super large-scale comprehensive development real estate projects, have a total construction area of about 1.6 million square meters. They will be built in about five years. The development is complete, and Shen Huai wants to set up this provincial state-owned real estate group. Within five years, the development in Xucheng will be four times that of Pengyue Modern City and New World Plaza.

The supply suddenly increased so much, Xie Chengjiang couldn’t imagine how Rongxin Hu Lin and Luo Xiaotian would scold their mothers, nor how Shen Huai could persuade such dissenting opinions inside Meigang?

The sudden increase in supply by so much will also seriously weaken the sales of Pengyue Modern City.

Xie Chengjiang didn’t know whether the focus of Jinding Real Estate’s future development was transferred from Xucheng. He just knew how difficult it was for outsiders to change Shen Huai’s mind.

Shen Huai saw the expressions on Xie Chengjiang and Ye Xuanfeng’s faces, but explained to Li Gu with a smile, saying:

“As you have seen during our visit today, the housing conditions of most households in Xucheng are not much looser than what we saw today. At present, there are 3 million people in Xucheng, 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 will develop into a mega city with a population of more than 5 million, and the per capita residential area will be doubled, which means that Xucheng alone will have 8,500 houses. There is a gap of 10,000 square meters. A real estate group will be established in the province, including the improvement of workers’ housing, covering office buildings, housing for emerging industries, and comprehensive commerce. A total of 6 million square meters of new buildings will be developed in Xucheng within five years. Scary?”

“The key is to develop the economy and industry. While the demand for housing is increasing, per capita income and purchasing power will increase, and Xucheng will increase the demand for 30 to 50 million square meters of housing in the future. It will not be too much. It’s surprising.” Li Gu nodded, and he also appreciated that he could view Xucheng’s urban development from a macro perspective, rather than being limited to the interests of the Meigang family.

Xie Chengjiang smacked his tongue secretly, the theoretical demand is just a theory, but he may refute Shen Huai and Li Gu’s words that the population of Donghua City is only one-third of Jiangning’s, but Donghua City, Meixi New District and Xiapulin The newly added urban construction area of Gangxin City last year also exceeded 1 million square meters. From these data, we can indeed see the strong role of industrialization development in promoting urban development; and Shen Huai has indeed proposed industrial development promotion for a long time. The theory of urban development…

But even so, Shen Huai’s establishment 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 should not increase significantly within three to five years.

Shen Huai smiled again and said to Li Gu: “The Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Office will not delay until the deadline of 2003 to finally stop the welfare housing distribution of provincial enterprises. Within this year, it is planned to make all units related to fundraising and building housing. The department was cut off. As a transition, the province also needs to form a real estate development group. On the other hand, it should be said that a proposal submitted by Beitang District moved me…”

“What plan in Beitang District moved you?” Li Gu asked.

There were so many plans and proposals submitted by the districts and counties to the city. For a while, Li Gu couldn’t think of any plans that were directly related to the Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Office, and could impress Shen Huai.

“Of course, this plan was not directly submitted to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Office. I also learned about the relevant situation when I went to the provincial textile group for research. This is the reason why I want to talk to Deputy Secretary Zhou.” Shen Huai said.

When Shen Huai said this, Li Gu thought of what was going on and asked, “You mean the expansion of Huaxi Comprehensive Wholesale Market?”

The Huaxi Comprehensive Wholesale Market in Beitang District is a project that Zhou Weimin has been in charge of since he went to Beitang District as the executive deputy mayor.

Huaxi Comprehensive Wholesale Market will take advantage of the transportation advantages near the railway station and long-distance bus station after its completion~www.readwn.com~ It will take four years to form a business scale of nearly 2,000 merchants, and develop into the largest distribution center for small and medium commodities in Huaihai Province. The transaction was completed last year. The confirmed amount exceeds 1.5 billion (the actual amount may be more than a large chunk), 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 listened to Shen Huai and Li Gu talking about one thing he was very proud of, and naturally he was excited, but Xiaoyi didn’t show his face, and patiently listened to Shen Huai and Li Gu’s conversation.

“The Huaxi market is next to the printing and dyeing factories of the Provincial Textile Group. The development momentum has been very good in recent years. At present, the merchants are also saturated, and it is extremely necessary to expand to the surrounding area. At the same time, the pollution problem of the printing and dyeing factories of the Provincial Textile Group is a headache in Beitang District. , Beitang District proposed to the Provincial Textile Group to buy the land of the printing and dyeing factory for the expansion of Huaxi Market,” Shen Huai said with a smile, “This plan proposed by Beitang District will kill two birds with one stone, I understand. Huaxi Comprehensive Market is a project promoted by Deputy Secretary Zhou when he was the executive deputy mayor, so I wanted to ask him about the details of the expansion of Huaxi Market…”

“You are a weasel greeting the chicken for the New Year. You are not at ease,” Li Gu raised his eyebrows and said, “You wouldn’t think of setting up a real estate group in the province to develop this land yourself, would you?”

“That’s right,” Shen Huai said with a calm smile, “fertile water does not flow to outsiders’ fields, and a real estate group is formed in the province. It is entirely possible to use this land to develop the second phase of the Huaxi Wholesale Market. There is no need to leave it to others to do it…”

But after hearing what Shen Huai said, Zhou Weimin couldn’t help but want to smile bitterly. He formed a real estate group in the province to **** up projects in Beitang District. What can he say other than a wry smile? Shen Huai wanted to ask him about the plan to develop the second phase of the Huaxi Market, how could he hide it from him?
