Volume 9, Section 96, Respect

"Shaohua, I read the planning outline of your Zhongyuan New District. Well, it's very visionary. The headquarters economic park planning is very insightful here, not far or near. The original area retains a lot of secondary forests. You can cut and outline them as much as possible based on the mountains and rivers. It seems that there are two parks here, right?" Sha Zhengyang withdrew his gaze and returned to the exhibition board.

This exhibition board is very large, nearly three stories high. It was specially hired to design and produce it. It was presented with different color standards, showing the next work of the Zhongyuan New District. At the same time, there are also phantoms that the Zhongyuan New District will not be satisfied with the existing pattern in the future and may be further expanded. I don’t know what will happen after seeing it. However, Sha Zhengyang doesn’t think that this is the case. It is a coordinated work in the whole city, and even the top spot in the province. Everything must be subject to the overall situation.

The Headquarters Economic Park is a special functional section in the Zhongyuan New District. It is placed close to the East Extension Line, the Second Ring Road and the Third Ring Road. This section is directly connected to the university town through the East Extension Line elevated expressway. Even if it is a bus, it will not exceed twenty minutes. It can greatly narrow the psychological distance between the entire urban area and the university town. After all, the Headquarters Economic Park will face the university town in the future. Students of the University Town can first consider these enterprises in the Headquarters Economic Park after graduation, so as to form a good interactive model.

Although the headquarters economic park has been planned, the construction is still far away and investment promotion is still in the preparatory stage. However, Sha Zhengyang and Sun Shaohua are confident and are determined to build this area into the core economic sector of the entire plain province and even the central region.

"Well, there are indeed two parks here, but they are not large in scale. One is adjacent to the Nanhe River. The initial idea is to build a wetland park based on the Nanhe Wetland. The area does not need to be large, but it can be extended as much as possible. This will allow the entire headquarters economic park to be in it, form a good ecological environment, and enhance the future competitiveness of the headquarters economic park." Sun Shaohua hesitated for a moment before saying: "In addition, this area also considers a park. Well, it is a sports park, which is close to the sports industrial park in the south, and is far away from the headquarters economic park through the east extension line. Our idea is to build this area into a residential and business leisure area,..."

As soon as Sun Shaohua said this, Sha Zhengyang understood that this was the intention to raise funds for the municipal finance by building high-end plots.

He can also understand that the city's financial situation is there, and it cannot be achieved by a 24% growth rate of gDP at once. Tax revenue increases, but that is a drop in the bucket. To find additional available funds, you need to tap potential from various channels. Land transfer fees are the most important channel.

Moderate planning and use of land to make up for it is also a unified opinion of the city, and this is also a solution.

Sha Zhengyang also discussed with Lei Shiqun several times. The city has appropriately upgraded some sectors to drive the healthy development of the real estate industry and thus increase the city's fiscal revenue. Of course, this requires a good grasp of the degree. When the land prices in some sectors are rising, we must try to avoid a significant increase in the overall land prices in the city, which is also very effective in craftsmanship of the municipal government.

"Shaohua, don't think of me as rigid. I'm not a person who doesn't know how to adapt. I know the financial difficulties of the city. Shiqun has complained about me many times. This year will probably be difficult." Sha Zhengyang smiled, "Our outside is looking at our endless glorious scenery in Zhongzhou. Only we ourselves know our own difficulties. But no matter how difficult it is, we have to do it. Only by doing it and developing it can we solve these problems. Development is the only way to solve the problems."

Sun Shaohua felt a little relieved.

She knew that the mayor's "bias" against real estate was obvious, which was rare among the leaders she had contacted.

The benefits of the booming real estate industry are obvious. Not only can it greatly boost the development of multiple industries such as building materials, steel, construction, and energy, but the tax revenue it brings is also considerable. This is not yet considered another big end - land transfer fee.

More importantly, since the reform of the national housing system in 1998, the enthusiasm of Chinese people to improve living conditions has been completely aroused. The real estate market has been rising all the way, which has also led to a large amount of investment entering this field. Real estate has even become a main investment channel, making Chinese people turn their attention to investing in housing in the absence of sufficient investment channels.

It can be said that no one can stop this torrent. Sun Shaohua believes that Sha Zhengyang's wisdom cannot see this point, but Sha Zhengyang still has deep prejudice against this field, and even has great vigilance and fear, which makes Sun Shaohua puzzled.

It is not feasible to go against the trend, and to go with the trend is the one who knows the current affairs. Sha Zhengyang should not do this. Fortunately, although Sha Zhengyang does not agree with this industry, he did not say how to suppress it. He just seems much more conservative and cautious in some policies and measures, which is far from his open attitude and even big moves in other fields.

But even so, Sun Shaohua was still cautious when talking about the real estate work, fearing that Sha Zhengyang suddenly had a different opinion and wanted to stop these measures. However, the situation of the city's finances was there and could no longer withstand it.

Lei Shiqun has explained to her several times that it is necessary to plan the residential sector in the Zhongyuan New District, and the actions must be large, otherwise the municipal finance will not be able to support the huge investment in infrastructure this year and next year. Even so, the municipal finance will still need to use other channels to carry out róng zī, such as the establishment of the municipal urban construction investment, and even the issuance of corporate bonds and the sale of equity of some municipal enterprises, which are all considered.

In fact, Sun Shaohua didn’t think there was anything wrong with Lei Shiqun’s view. How could a large Zhongyuan New District not plan a residential area?

No matter how beautiful the various functional sections you design are, they are ultimately driven by people. Someone works and lives means living, and the trend of the city's development eastward development is becoming increasingly obvious. In the future, the migration of population in the old urban area to new districts dominated by the Central Plains New District is a major trend. This requires the reasonable planning and layout of residential sections in the Central Plains New District. Of course, this planning layout should be more scientific and reasonable. There is a lot of room for discussion to promote the construction of a perfect complex new district.

"Mayor, I know you have always been a little worried about the housing prices in Zhongzhou. In fact, I have also conducted some research. Our housing prices in Zhongzhou are still at a relatively low level compared to the target cities you are targeting. If you want to compare with cities such as Hangzhou, Nanjing, Qingdao, and Dalian, it will be less on the same level, let alone cities such as Shenzhen and Suzhou. So I think we don't need to worry about this problem for the time being. Moreover, according to some of our ideas and even some of the plans and policies of chū tái, our Zhongzhou can keep housing prices running at a low price, which is also in line with the principle of attracting talents with low housing prices that you mentioned."

Sha Zhengyang shook his head with a wry smile: "Youth is easy to say, it is difficult to do. When it comes to that step, it is probably not possible to solve it by just someone or an administrative order. In the market economy, how effective it can be achieved is worth doubt. In addition, more importantly, sometimes the government will also become poisonous to quench thirst and it is difficult to extricate itself. Now we have not yet experienced that feeling. When we really reach that step, you will find how difficult it is to cut off the 'land fiscal addiction'."

Sun Shaohua was also surprised to see Sha Zhengyang being so unoptimistic. In her impression, Sha Zhengyang was almost omnipotent, but Sha Zhengyang was too cautious on this issue, and even felt a little scared about this issue.

She didn't know why Sha Zhengyang had this view, but she knew that Sha Zhengyang must have his reason.

"Mayor, but we can never avoid this problem. The city is developing and the population is gathering. The development of the real estate industry is the general trend. We can only deal with the moves. It is impossible to take all the phenomena and problems that have not yet occurred at this time. It is neither scientific nor practical."

"Well, Shaohua, you are right. There are always more solutions than problems." Sha Zhengyang also smiled and shook his head, "I hope I am not worried about it, but I still have to say a few more words. The development of a city ultimately depends on the industry and the competitiveness of the city. The real estate factor is very important. It is necessary to ensure its healthy development, but also to serve urban development. Especially inland cities like Zhongzhou, housing prices need to be kept at a lower level so that we can maintain our own attractiveness and competitiveness. This is my point of view. I hope Shaohua will also think carefully. In the next step, I still have some ideas to discuss with Shaohua to see what aspects we can make our city's competitiveness stronger and more sustainable."

Sun Shaohua's heart was a little pounding. What does this mean?

Sha Zhengyang's words were definitely not about an ordinary deputy mayor's attitude. Sun Shaohua could still hear this. He felt a little bit like leaning on his left and right hands, or it was more like a feeling of an executive deputy mayor.

Sun Shaohua felt that this might be an illusion, but she felt that Sha Zhengyang might not be very satisfied with Xue's work situation and some of the meaning of hoping that he would play a greater role, which means that he might want to become a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee so that he can play a greater role.

Of course this is just a feeling from Sun Shaohua herself, and she is not sure about what she wants.
