Chapter 329 New Ideas
Because they had guessed the purpose of coming here in advance, Guan Yuntian and Lao Xue took their time and listened quietly to the leader's words.
"You mentioned three things in your proposal. The first is the expansion of the bridge on the Qingshan River, the second is the improvement of both sides of the Qingshan River and the river course, and the third is the construction of a riverside park. After the construction committee handed over your proposal to me, it happened that the third
The city government held an executive meeting the next day. I submitted this proposal to the meeting for discussion. Unexpectedly, I received support from several participants including Deputy Mayor Xie, who is in charge of finance, taxation and land resources. They all thought this proposal was very useful.
Constructive, after preliminary discussions, the meeting instructed me to further communicate with you." Deputy Mayor Zhang said.
Guan Yuntian leaned forward and said, "Mayor Zhang, with all due respect, I want to ask a bold question. What do you think of our proposal?"
If you are the boss of an ordinary enterprise, you would never dare to ask such a question in front of a leader of this level. However, Changda Group is the largest private enterprise in the city and has made great contributions to local social development and economic construction. This is obvious to all.
, leaders like Vice Mayor Zhang should know this.
In addition, because Guan Yuntian has always been low-key and not public, otherwise his reputation would be much louder than it is now, and the leadership level he associates with is much higher than that of a deputy department official. Therefore, in the face of the current situation, Guan Yuntian
Yuntian has no stage fright at all.
Originally, the purpose of being invited here was to talk about work with the leader, not to hold a meeting and listen to the leader's report. Since it is a discussion, there must be a period of asking each other questions, expressing opinions or suggestions. If you are obedient and just listen attentively, that is called listening.
Instructions, not talking about work.
Vice Mayor Zhang, on the other hand, smiled and showed no sign of arrogance at all, "I am in charge of urban construction, and of course I hope that urban construction will be promoted quickly."
"Oh, Mayor Zhang, do you think the three suggestions we made are feasible?"
"We invite you here today because we want to talk about our ideas first and then listen to your opinions. First of all, regarding the first suggestion in the proposal, maybe the comrades from the planning department of the Construction Committee have also told you that in order to cooperate with the experiment
For a small relocation, the city will definitely build a new bridge over the Qingshan River, but according to your analysis, we believe that the widening of the old bridge is also necessary. However, there is no budget for this year, and it will have to wait until next year at the earliest."
"It doesn't matter. After all, the relocation of Experimental No. 1 is not imminent. If a new bridge is built or the old bridge is expanded, it doesn't matter if we wait another year or two." Guan Yuntian said.
"Yes, Changda Real Estate Company's real estate development there cannot be completed in a year and a half. Even if the community is fully completed, there is still a process for house sales and residents to move in. Even according to your calculations, the Chengnan area is
It is impossible to reach a permanent population of 100,000 in a short period of time, so if the old bridge widening project is postponed for one or two years, it should not cause much inconvenience to residents on both sides of the Qingshan River." Vice Mayor Zhang
road.
"However, the second question we raised is more urgent. If the mess on both sides of the Qingshan River is not rectified as soon as possible, it will have a negative impact on the relocation of Experimental School and the sales of Changda Real Estate. This problem
Please let the leadership consider it."
"I came to you today mainly to discuss this issue. The management of both sides of the Qingshan River is not only an urban construction issue, but also an urban environmental protection issue. It is related to the construction of a civilized city and a livable city. The government has always attached great importance to it and has been put on the agenda many times.
Schedule. However, urban construction is complicated and there are many places where money needs to be spent. Naturally, our work must be prioritized and all tasks must be prioritized according to importance and urgency."
"Leader, if I understand correctly,
Is the Qingshan River regulation project not within the scope of current consideration?" Guan Yuntian said.
“To be honest, because there are much more important and urgent things to do than the improvement of Qingshan River, such as the unimpeded traffic project in the new and old urban areas, which involves the construction of three overpasses and two tunnels, the investment is huge. Therefore, the improvement of Qingshan River is
As far as I know, this matter will not be included in the city government's work plan within three years." Vice Mayor Zhang told the truth.
"I would like to ask the leader, apart from funding issues, is there any other reason why the government is not considering the management of Qingshan River at present?"
"It's mainly a funding issue. There are no other reasons, but the funding issue is also the biggest problem! If funding is not an issue, the Qingshan River management project is not complicated."
Guan Yuntian nodded in agreement: "Yes, what can you do without money? The city's financial resources are so large, and there are only so many funds at its disposal every year. It is simply unrealistic to do everything in one go. As a real estate company,
We understand the difficulties faced by the city as a development company, but we have spent a lot of money to purchase land. If the surrounding environment is too bad and it has a negative impact on residential sales, it will not be fair to the company!"
"Enterprises understand the government, and of course we also understand their difficulties. Even so, I can only suggest that the Qingshan River management project should be carried out as early as possible, but to be honest, I still think there is little hope in two or three years." Vice Mayor Zhang also felt that
Very helpless.
After thinking for a moment, Guan Yuntian thought of something: "The only obstacle hindering this matter now is the financial issue. I am bold to say, can the goal be achieved through other means?"
"Oh, what do you mean by other ways?"
"For example, using private capital to boost the speed of urban construction." This was not Guan Yuntian's sudden idea. After inspecting the scene that day, he had an idea.
"Hey, this is a brand-new idea, but it may be a little troublesome to operate, right? Also, private capital must seek returns. Municipal construction generally does not directly produce economic benefits. What should be used as a return on investment for private capital?
"Lao Zhang was very interested in Guan Yuntian's proposal, but he thought there were operational difficulties.
"Leader, since you asked us to discuss work, let me say a few more words. I'll treat it as small talk. Please correct me if I find anything inappropriate. Of course, private capital requires a return on investment, but the way of return is not necessarily just profit sharing.
Methods, such as a certain percentage of tax exemption or deferment, exchange for certain resources, etc., as long as it is reasonable and reasonable, private capital is willing to accept it," said Guan Yuntian.
"What you said is a bit abstract, can you be more specific?" Lao Zhang looked attentive.
"Specifically for the management of Qingshan River, based on investment estimates, the government can use partial tax exemptions or deferrals as bargaining chips to negotiate terms with the other party, depending on which private enterprise is willing to invest. If it has resources, it can also use public resources as bargaining chips.
In exchange with investment companies." Guan Yuntian further explained.
Lao Zhang listened with great interest. After listening to Guan Yuntian's explanation, he nodded, "Well, the former method is equivalent to the company paying taxes in advance, and the latter method is to exchange resources. It must be found acceptable to both parties.
The conditions need to be carefully negotiated. I think your idea is very good. The question now is, which private enterprise is willing to make such an investment?"
Guan Yuntian smiled and said, "Changda Group is the largest private enterprise in Huayuan City. If I say that our company is willing to do this, please don't be surprised by the leaders."
"Look, you are far away in the horizon but right in front of you! Are you prepared?"
"We didn't come prepared. We
I originally thought that the three things mentioned in the proposal could be resolved as soon as possible. According to you, due to insufficient funds, it is impossible for Qingshan River to be managed within two or three years. However, the development work of Changda Real Estate Company cannot wait. According to
According to the plan, our residential complex can be completed in two years at most. If we wait until three years, it will have a serious negative impact on the house sales of Changda Real Estate. Instead of waiting passively, it is better for Changda Group to invest and improve the surrounding environment first.
Let’s talk later.”
"Great! I didn't expect that there would be such a big windfall from discussing work with you." Lao Zhang said excitedly.
"But leader, I have said before that investment by private enterprises is also conditional. Next, should we get into the real issues?" Guan Yuntian said.
"Well, it's getting late today. I'm here to express my opinion. I am very much in favor of your proposal. However, for this kind of policy-oriented issue, it doesn't matter if I, the leader in charge, just say it.
I don’t have that much power. I need to report this matter to the top leader and get his permission. Of course, I am the leader in charge, and the top leader will probably listen to and respect my opinions, but the procedure must be followed. In addition, I am doing
As for administrative management, we need to ask professionals to participate in the specific details. Let's stop here today. You should wait for notification of the next meeting time. It shouldn't take too long."
This is not Lao Zhang's excuse. When it comes to private capital entering municipal construction, it is a matter of principle. He really needs to communicate with the relevant leaders. Guan Yuntian and Lao Xue both understand this.
On the way back, Lao Xue asked about what happened just now, "After watching the scene that day, did you have plans to invest in the management of Qingshan River?"
"That's not necessarily true, because I didn't know their attitude towards the proposal at the time. Was it support or opposition? However, I know that except for a few major first-tier cities, all other cities are short of money for municipal construction. Many cities have to spend money on municipal construction in order to carry out municipal construction.
Financing from banks is through the government's public platform. This is how the city's public debt comes from. In our proposal, we proposed to manage the Qingshan River. If the city does not have the funds, it will be in vain. However, the housing development and sales of Changda Real Estate
We can't wait, so we have the plan to take the initiative." Guan Yuntian said.
"If you finally agree to Changda Group's investment, how are you going to talk to them?"
"This is also an issue I want to discuss with you. My initial thought is that tax exemptions or deferrals are small things. I want them to use resources in exchange. What do you think?"
Lao Xue thought for a while, "Local governments don't have much room to operate in terms of national taxes. They can only give some concessions in local taxes. Even if the real estate development industry accounts for a large proportion of local taxes, it is unrealistic to ask them to exempt them from much tax, because
Real estate tax is an important part of the local government's fiscal revenue. If it is exempted for enterprises, what will the finance side do? I estimate that the payment is more likely to be postponed."
"In this case, it is better to focus on resource exchange. As for tax preferential policies, you can enjoy as much as you can and don't pursue it too much." Guan Yuntian said.
"The resource exchange you are talking about refers to the future construction of the riverside park, right? I guess if we hadn't mentioned this in the proposal, they wouldn't have even thought of it," Lao Xue said.
"Yes, as long as someone brings it up, someone will be concerned about it, but this is the main condition for Changda Group to invest in the management of Qingshan River. If the construction and operation and management rights of the riverside park are not given to Changda Group, there will be no need to discuss it!"
"Actually, this condition is not too harsh. If I were them, I would agree without hesitation. The government can get a beautiful environment without investing a penny. The city also has one more place for leisure and entertainment. Why not?
