Three days later, Guan Yuntian received a call. He and Lao Xue came to Vice Mayor Zhang's office again. Before they could sit down, Vice Mayor Zhang said, "We won't talk here today. Let's go to the small conference room."

Guan Yuntian and Lao Xue turned around and exited the office, waiting in the corridor.

Following Lao Zhang in the elevator to the sixth floor, they pushed the door open and entered a small conference room. They saw five people sitting inside, who seemed to have been waiting for a while.

"Let me introduce you first," Lao Zhang pointed at Guan Yuntian and Lao Xue and said to the five people in the room: "This is Mr. Guan of Changda Group, and this is their Mr. Xue. Two CEOs, five of them

From left to right, they are Deputy Director Shi of the Development and Reform Bureau, Deputy Director Zhang of the Urban Construction Bureau, Deputy Director Wang of the Construction Committee, Deputy Director Liang of the Water Conservancy Bureau and Deputy Director Hou of the Local Taxation Bureau."

Lao Xue knew the two leaders of the Urban Construction Bureau and the Construction Committee. After the last joint meeting, they had individually exchanged views with Lao Xue on the issues involved in the proposal.

After shaking hands and greetings, the two parties sat down face to face at a small conference table, with Lao Zhang sitting at the top of the conference table.

The staff made a cup of tea with each participant and then exited the conference room. Vice Mayor Zhang picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then said: "After we communicated the first two days, the next day I brought the information from Changda Group to

The latest suggestions were reported to the city government, but the top leaders did not express their opinions on the spot. Instead, they immediately convened the existing members of the team for a collective discussion. Some participants found it incomprehensible that private capital would enter municipal construction, but they could not find an effective way to alleviate the shortage of municipal construction funds.

situation."

"Oh, what about the final decision?" Guan Yuntian interjected.

"In the end? Of course there is still no way. Fortunately, the head of the city government is more open-minded. He reminded the participants that apart from water, electricity and other residents' daily necessities, other municipal projects are unprofitable. Although there is a lot of private capital in water, electricity and other fields

are willing to intervene, but there is currently no possibility of accepting private capital in these areas. On the contrary, no private capital has been interested in unprofitable projects such as the Qingshan River management, and municipal construction funds first consider problems that need to be solved, like this

Projects that are not particularly urgent may not be scheduled for a while,” said Vice Mayor Zhang.

"However, as the scale of the city continues to expand, this seemingly unhurried project has become more and more important. Just imagine, if the experimental laboratory is moved to the south bank of the Qingshan River in two or three years, when we wait

Once a large number of residential areas are developed there, the Qingshan River will become a river in the city. If it is not managed, it will be no different than a scar on a beautiful face." Guan Yuntian said.

"Well, your metaphor is very vivid. The top leader of the city government also had a similar view. At the meeting, he asked the participants who had different opinions to change their thinking and expand financing channels for the funds needed for urban construction. With his insistence, everyone finally reached a consensus.

, unanimously agreed that Changda Group would invest in the management of Qingshan River. I was entrusted by the city government to invite the two CEOs of Changda Group today to sit together with responsible comrades from government functional departments to have an in-depth discussion on the management of Qingshan River.

.”

“We feel honored to be able to sit together with the leaders to discuss the Qingshan River management plan. The reason why we thought of managing Qingshan River is because Changda Real Estate Company, a subsidiary of Changda Group, obtained the Chengnan area through bidding at the municipal land auction office.

The development rights of all four parcels of land. In order to improve the surrounding environment, we believe that the Qingshan River should be managed, so we made suggestions to the relevant departments." Guan Yuntian briefly introduced the incident to the leaders of the functional departments who attended the meeting for the first time.

.

"Okay, please let the two CEOs of Changda Group talk first.

The conditions for you to fund the management of Qingshan River." Vice Mayor Zhang said.

"Thank you, leader. As you all know, Changda Group is a private enterprise. Although our corporate culture includes the concept of giving back to the society and benefiting one party, with all due respect, it is impossible for Changda Group's investment not to seek returns. First, we

It is not so noble. Secondly, to quote a popular saying, it is also for the sustainable development of the enterprise. Everyone knows that regulating the Qingshan River will not produce any economic benefits. I wonder if the local government has such an unprofitable project.

What are the preferential conditions?" Guan Yuntian said.

"What specific aspects do you mean by preferential conditions?" Deputy Director Shi of the Development and Reform Bureau asked.

"For example, taxes." Lao Xue said.

Deputy Director Hou of the Local Taxation Bureau explained: "In terms of national taxation, local governments basically do not have much room to operate. At most, a small amount that belongs to the local government will be returned to the enterprise, but it will have a greater impact on fiscal revenue, and it is estimated that the profit transfer will not be too much; for local taxation,

Those of you who are engaged in real estate development know that local taxes account for a large proportion of real estate taxes. As a functional department, it doesn't matter to us. The specific discount rate depends on the attitude of the city, and Mayor Zhang has the most say on this."

Lao Zhang took over: "This issue was also mentioned at the office meeting yesterday. Tax incentives are nothing more than three methods: exemption, exemption, and exemption. As for reduction, the maximum amount can be reduced by 25% for enterprises.

When it comes to deferring the payment of local taxes, it also depends on the completion of the government's fiscal revenue that year, which cannot be determined until the end of the year."

"We asked someone to make a rough estimate. Just to treat this section of the river in the urban area, we need to invest about 300 million. According to what several leaders just mentioned, even if Changda Real Estate is reduced by 25% in local taxes,

The maximum is less than 20 million per year. To recover the 300 million investment through local tax reduction and exemption, it will take at least fifteen years. This time is too long!"

In fact, Guan Yuntian did not ask anyone to make a budget, but he has been in business for more than ten years, and he has completed at least five or six large-scale project investments. For project investment estimates, even without experts, he himself

It can be estimated that they are almost the same.

"Mr. Guan, there are only so many resources available in the city, what do you think we should do?" Lao Zhang asked.

"Actually, as a local government, there are still resources. I seemed to have mentioned it once two days ago."

"Are you talking about the Riverside Park? The management of the Qingshan River has not started yet. Now that we are talking about the Riverside Park, isn't it true that we haven't even mentioned it yet?"

"I know this, but we have an idea. Changda Group invests in the management of Qingshan River. We are not interested in the preferential policy of deferring tax payments. As for tax exemptions, we should enjoy as much as we want. We are not excessively demanding, but we want to

The two issues of Riverside Park and investment and management of Qingshan River are discussed together." Guan Yuntiandao.

"Oh, tied together? You mean----?"

"Yes, what I want to say is that obtaining the development and construction rights of the Riverside Park is the main condition for Changda Group to invest in the management of Qingshan River."

All the leaders here finally understood that what Guan Yuntian wanted was this! "But Mr. Guan, the construction of the Riverside Park is planned by the city garden. Isn't it a bit ahead of your time to propose it now?"

"Deputy Director Zhang of the Urban Construction Bureau seemed to have objections to this.

"Yes, not to mention the Riverside Park, even the management of the Qingshan River is ahead of the curve if it follows the municipal construction plan, but this matter has received unanimous support from the city leaders. In addition, to be blunt, even if

When the garden planning is completed in what month and in what year, I want to rely on government investment to build a decent riverside park on both sides of the Qingshan River. I think

It's not realistic." Guan Yuntian retorted.

As Lao Xue guessed yesterday, before Changda Real Estate Company put forward the proposal, no one in the Urban Construction and Gardening Department thought that both sides of the Qingshan River could be utilized. After seeing Lao Xue's proposal, the deputy director of the Urban Construction Bureau in charge of urban gardening suddenly came

In order to be more energetic, I suggested to the leadership team of the bureau at that time that the riverside park should be planned uniformly by the gardening department.

Everyone knows that the municipal finance cannot allocate much funds for urban garden construction. The deputy director's wishful thinking is to use both sides of the Qingshan River as resources to attract foreign investment. After the riverside park is built, it will be jointly managed by the garden department and investors.

Benefit together.

Guan Yuntian's idea is exactly the opposite. He believes that the Changda Group invests in the management of the Qingshan River and does not get much profit. The riverside park developed and constructed on this basis should be the exclusive property of the Changda Group and shared with other units.

It doesn't matter.

The two sides had different opinions. Of course Lao Zhang heard it very clearly. However, as the city's leader, in order to allow Changda Group to implement the investment as soon as possible, he clearly expressed his support for Guan Yuntian, "No matter who invests in the construction of the future Binhe Park,

It is to contribute to Huayuan City. After Changda Group managed Qingshan River, it decided to further invest in the construction of riverside parks. In principle, I agree. As for the unified planning of gardens, the relevant departments can consider it now. That is not a problem.

At that time, the enterprise can just go to the functional department to file a case."

His views were not supported by his immediate superior. Deputy Director Zhang of the Urban Construction Bureau lowered his head and stopped expressing his opinions.

In fact, Lao Zhang knows the thoughts of the garden department. Every functional department is willing to take care of more things, especially things that can produce economic benefits. Everyone rushes to take care of them. However, Changda Group has invested in the management of Qingshan River, even if it knows the future of Binhe.

The park can produce benefits, and this benefit must be provided to others. Otherwise, there will be no investment in improving the Qingshan River.

Seeing Vice Mayor Zhang's clear stance, Deputy Director Shi of the Development and Reform Bureau also followed up and said: "Changda Group's investment in the management of Qingshan River will not get any economic return. The local government has such resources, which is equivalent to using resources.

In exchange for investment, this makes sense."

Once the immediate boss expressed his attitude, the deputy directors of the functional departments immediately knew the leader's intention. Deputy Director Liang of the Water Conservancy Bureau naturally would not be obsessed with the question of who would own the future Riverside Park. He was more concerned about the management measures of Qingshan River.

and whether future riverfront parks will include water projects.

"Specific measures may require a professional design agency. We only have preliminary assumptions that the management of the Qingshan River should include river channel regulation, reinforcement of both sides, greening, soil and water conservation, etc. As for whether the future riverside park will include water projects, this is related to the management of the Qingshan River.

Does it matter?" Lao Xue said.

"I just want to make a suggestion. If the riverside park includes water projects, the requirements for river improvement will be different. You must make this clear to the water conservancy design agency. In addition, if the matter is finalized, the various data the design agency will need in the future

, our Water Conservancy Bureau will try our best to provide it.”

After Guan Yuntian expressed his gratitude to Deputy Director Liang for his positive attitude, he turned to Lao Zhang and said: "Boss, if the matter can be settled, we plan to carry out the Qingshan River management and the real estate development on the south bank at the same time. We hope that the relevant procedures or agreements can be completed as soon as possible.

and signed.”

"There is no problem with this. If we settle the matter today, I think we can sign an agreement with the functional departments tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Chapter completed!
