After holding the last work meeting of 2003, Zhao Guodong felt that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

All the summary and commendation meetings in the province were basically over. He, Zhong Yuejun and other city leaders all became clockwork machines. During that period, they almost ran back and forth between Ningling and Andu. Zhao Guodong and Zhong Yuejun sometimes simply stayed in Andu. Anyway, their home was in Andu, and they lived for two or three days, and they were constantly running, and they were dizzy.

However, Zhao Guodong and Zhong Yuejun were in a very good mood. After all, in 2003, Ningling delivered satisfactory answers. When attending various meetings, they were surrounded by envious eyes and congratulations. The leaders were also very enthusiastic. They were busy all this year, what was the purpose of this?

Although the ranking of economic strength in the province is the first time, Andu has a growth rate of only 4.8%, and the rest are Yongliang, Huaiqing, Jianyang, Mianzhou, Ningling and Pennzhou. However, the per capita net income of farmers is amazing, exceeding Mianzhou, which is ranked ahead of Ningling. This is also a historic breakthrough. According to Zhao Guodong's vision, Ningling urban residents' disposable income and per capita net income of farmers must enter the top three in the province, striving to win the runner-up position.

The last work meeting was held for more than two hours, but there were only two important matters to study.

One is the reception day system and contact staff system of the city (county, district) mayor in the city. It requires that from the municipal party committee, mayor to the county (district) committee, county (district) mayor to have a special reception day of half a day for each quarter and every month, specifically used to solve the demands of the masses. It shall not be replaced by deputy positions.

Zhao Guodong's attitude towards this matter was extremely firm, and the Standing Committee members also expressed their agreement.

In Zhao Guodong's words, if a ***, city (county, district) mayor dare not even meet the people under his rule, the *** city (county, district) mayor is really meaningless. Zhao Guodong himself also said that he will take the lead in carrying out this work and will start this before he goes to the Central Party School to study.

Another important matter is the establishment and planning of Ningling Airport project.

With Ningling's brilliant economic achievements in 2003, when Zhao Guodong first came to Ningling in 2002, his voice about whether Ningling Airport was meaningful and whether it would be ahead of schedule was silenced. Instead, what model should the airport adopt to build and operate.

According to relevant experts, if Ningling Airport is built according to the current investment scale, it will not only have a huge gap in funding, but it may not be able to survive on its own within five or even ten years after its completion. In other words, it will require huge subsidies from the government finance. In this situation, how to understand the importance and necessity of airport construction is a very concerning issue.

What surprised Zhao Guodong and Zhong Yuejun was that the Executive Vice Mayor Gu Yongbin, who had always believed that they might firmly oppose it, did not firmly oppose the airport project. He only raised concerns about the investment in construction and time. He believed that this project certainly played a crucial role in promoting the development of Ningling, but because Ningling Urban Investment Group had to undertake such a huge infrastructure in the past two years, if Ningling Urban Investment Group had to undertake such a huge project, it would probably not be able to do so. It was suggested that the municipal party committee need to consider the financing and construction model.

Gu Yongbin's view also won a lot of support among the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. Blue Light, Li Daifu, Zeng Lingchun, Liu Ruhuai, Ma Yuansheng and others agreed with this view to varying degrees, believing that Ningling's construction and development stalls were too large in a short period of time and may encounter tension in the capital chain, especially in the central government that there are already some rumors of regulation. If this project is rashly operated, it may be difficult for the province and the central government to pass.

Zhao Guodong and Zhong Yuejun actually expected this situation. Central high-level officials have been making continuous comments, pointing to the scale of infrastructure and the excessive expansion of some industries since the previous year. Recently, there have been speculations on changes in domestic economic policies this year in various economic newspapers and magazines. Zhao Guodong also reminded everyone at the conference that the national economy may have an adjustment possibility in 2004. Therefore, if Ningling wants to go against the wind on this issue, he has to consider the negation from the above and the tightening of funds by the banking department.

At this meeting, Zhao Guodong did not speak arbitrarily, but instead said that he should actively operate and promote the *** Ningling Airport project, which was steadily and firmly with the recognition of superiors and support from financial institutions.

Zhao Guodong's attitude also made the Standing Committee members feel relieved. Although Ningling's economy took off last year, the originally very beautiful situation encountered risks from central policy regulation, which made Ningling's leaders a little depressed. Why did Ningling not go far and finally encounter good development opportunities, but face adjustments to the overall economic climate. In other words, what kind of situation will happen to Ningling's economy in this year of regulation in 2004, there are still many variables.

However, Zhao Guodong's quite optimistic attitude and positive mood still had some impact on the Standing Committee members. Zhao Guodong gave a detailed explanation of the economic development prospects of Ningling for this purpose, and listed the crises and opportunities facing Ningling's economic development in 2004. He made a very delicate analysis from the industrial structure, economic nature and the source of capital entering Ningling, especially making a relatively optimistic judgment on some new signs of Ningling's economic development in the fourth quarter of 2003.

Zhao Guodong believes that Ningling's economy has gradually gotten rid of the pull-up economy that relies entirely on large projects and large-scale construction, and has moved to a benign stage of relying on the environment and system to attract foreign capital to enter. In the case of unclear external situations, Ningling's safe haven environment may be conducive to the entry of private capital.

"Zhao***, I guess the central government's policies this year will not be too light, and the actions will not work. Looking at the current rise in housing prices, even I feel distressed." After announcing the end of the meeting, Zhong Yuejun packed up his things and said with a smile: "My wife had already told me to change a house. I thought about waiting for a look the year before yesterday. Last year, the house prices rose to a stairs, which made my wife complain about me every time she called. I think the house prices this year can't fall, at most it would rise slowly."

"Mayor Zhong, don't you see how much housing prices in Ningling have risen. I remember how much housing prices were in 2000. The old city area was only 6,700 square meters, but in 2002 it suddenly rose to 1,660. Last year, there were basically no new properties in the old city area. The price of Henan New District has risen to 2,122. Jiangdong New District has divided into areas, ranging from 1,677 to 2,344. I guess the infrastructure of Jiangdong New District is fully completed this year, and the main line bridge is completed and opened to traffic. I guess the better location will be 2,880, right?" The conversation was made of Luneng, "Fortunately, I started to take action early. I decided to buy a house in Henan New District two years ago. If I don't wait any longer, I really can't afford it. How can the growth rate of wages and bonuses keep up with the growth rate of housing prices?!"

"Yes, Minister Lu, I agree with your point of view. I think the housing prices in Ningling will not rise slowly this year. By the end of the year, I may not be able to stop at 2,000 by the end of the year. Of course, it will also be divided into locations. I guess the section by the river near the main line bridge and the Nanwan area that has just been developed in our Henan New District. Hehe, it is not impossible to climb up 3,000." Liu Ruhuai stood up and smiled and joked: "Zhao***, are you not planning to buy a house in our Ningling? Do you really plan to mix like this in our municipal party committee dormitory?"

"Ruhuai, why are you planning to tell me how good the ports in your Henan New District are, and I want me to be your neighbor?" Zhao Guodong smiled and sighed: "This housing price is a problem, and the people also reacted strongly. Let's ask ourselves, our Ningling fiscal revenue has surged sharply, in addition to tax revenue, isn't it the huge profits brought by the development of Jiangdong New District?"

"Some time ago, Jian Hong and Huo Yunda were looking for Yue Jun to argue, saying that the land transfer fee issue of this Jiangdong New Area should be reconsidered. Yue Jun was also discussing this issue with me. At that time, Jiangdong New Area was deserted and was just a garbage dump. Now the city has invested a lot to develop this area, and Dongjiang District wanted to pick peaches. Logically speaking, the municipal party committee had meeting minutes at that time, and it had decided that the opinions should not be changed. However, I considered that the second phase of Jiangdong New Area had expanded beyond the original planned area, and I thought I should also consider mobilizing the enthusiasm of the district and county as appropriate. Yongbin, you and Yue Jun discussed and study it again to see what methods should be taken to balance the rights and interests of the city and district and seek common prosperity."

The popularity of the land market is indeed unexpected, especially since the end of the previous year, Ningling's housing prices have also begun to rise due to the influence of the national market. In addition, the start of construction of a large number of industrial enterprises in Ningling last year and the influx of a large number of outsiders has made the Ningling rental housing market tight and the rental prices have also risen all the way, which has also led to unprecedented activity in new house sales and second-hand housing market transactions.

Ningling local real estate developers and some other industry capitals have noticed this phenomenon and entered the land market one after another to acquire land in large quantities. Last year alone, as many as nine real estate companies of a certain scale were established. In particular, Jiangdong New District and Henan New District have become places where real estate developers gather in groups to acquire land. Jiangdong New District has almost become a tower crane forest, which has also led to the booming market of construction machinery and building materials, making Ningling real estate market also tend to surpass other surrounding cities.
