Chapter 152 The Pain of Demolition
Throughout the 1990s, the problem of barbaric demolition in cities was the more serious violations and deprivation of citizens' interests.
Urban renovation and demolition of dilapidated houses is a good thing. The guiding ideology of old city renovation in the entire 1980s was "original demolition and original construction, and the houses will be relocated." Those who are demolished will be given a house after they are moved, and the housing conditions will be improved.
In the 1990s, the "Shanghai model" was learned from the whole country. Shanghai transformed the old urban area of Puxi, and adopted the method of completely demolishing new buildings in other places to demolish old houses, build high-end office buildings and commercial real estate, and build new residential communities outside the city center to resettle the demolished citizens.
The Shanghai model belongs to the "building new cities" model. At that time, the country advocated this model, and localities borrowed this model, which was very convenient for passing national approval. However, in the 1990s, no city had the financial strength of Shanghai. After demolishing the old city, it was still possible to build a new city to resettle the demolished citizens. It was often "demolished but not built" and changed the benign model of "houses are relocated" to "monetary demolition".
Since the promotion of "monetary demolition" as a "good experience" in the 1990s, citizens have been afraid of demolition. Because the little money given by demolition is far from the house price. In particular, some cities' leaders are almost crazy about "investment". In their eyes, those businessmen and capitalists have become saviors and gods of wealth that can help them gain political achievements and self-interest. Some leaders even said to the following in a threatening tone, "Whoever scares away a foreign businessman will ask whoever he wants to get along with the government," and so on. Therefore, as long as the former is interested in a place, the latter acts as a pawn - using it in his hands.
The power of the residents of the place forced the demolition. More than ten years later, most of the demolition companies were private, and the demolition situation improved. In the 1990s, the demolition companies were all state-owned, and all state-owned. The meaning was that a large number of administrative means could be used to force demolition without restrictions, which made the citizens even worse. Some of them had humble rooms to live in, but there were no tiles after the demolition. The barbaric demolition made real estate developers smile and the demolitioners complained. Even if most people bought houses after the demolition, they were forced to do so. The debt was built high and lived a life of living in high-rise buildings and drinking porridge. Some leaders used this as their political achievements to brag about peace.
The demolition of Shatin’s old city is inevitable. It is impossible for the city to build residential communities in Shatin, a commercial treasure land, to resettle citizens who have been demolished, nor to build new communities in other places. In the end, it is possible to adopt the monetary demolition model. Two thousand years ago, the real estate market in Haizhou could not accommodate a huge demolition scale of tens of thousands of households (mainly because the demolition cost is very low, and the economic conditions of the demolition citizens in the 1990s were generally poor, which was not enough to form a large real estate market. There was no such thing as mortgage loans at that time). In order to alleviate the conflicts, demolition companies built a large number of low-quality, property-free resettlement housing in urban-rural fringe areas far away from the city, which would most citizens who were unable to buy houses in the city and rushed there.
Tang Xueqian would not be able to resist the temptation to build a new city. In the 1990s, officials' political achievements were rarely equated with the interests of citizens, and even Tang Xueqian was no exception.
Zhang Ke has always believed that there is no saying in urban construction that "it is OK to sacrifice the interests of a small number of people", but the sacrifice of interests is not the turn of state civil servants, so the idea of "it is OK to sacrifice a small number of interests for the overall situation" has the upper hand in the city, and they will never feel the pain.
Zhang Ke sat opposite Tang Xueqian, thinking that Tang Xueqian would never feel the pain of being expelled again! Zhang Ke felt deeply painful. After his father resigned from public office, he returned to the Normal University. The Normal University did not arrange another residence. At that time, he still had some savings, so he bought a private house in Shatin. In 1997, he caught up with the old city renovation. Fortunately, his uncle helped him. If this were not the case, he would be expelled from the Normal University and he still didn't know what the tragic situation would be in the family.
After all, I lived in Shatin for two years. Although it was short-lived, I had an understanding of the situation of the demolitioners around me. In particular, I was in the process of "retreatment of the state and the private advancement" at that time, and a large number of state-owned enterprises were laid off. Some families had a dilemma in a dilemma. They had to wait for more than ten years to use the property rights law to protect their rights.
This is no longer just a matter of protection of the old city. Since Haizhou City is built beautifully, it cannot be at the cost of the demolition pain suffered by more than 10,000 households. Since Tang Xueqian wants to try it, Zhang Ke wanted to drag him down.
Tang Xueqian didn't know what Zhang Ke was thinking, and Zhang Ke's words made him quite moved.
The success of Sifengqiao Food Court has extended the prosperity of Qianmen to the front of Sifengqiao. In particular, the high rent of Sifengqiao Food Court has attracted great attention from the city. Valuable land is not limited to Qianmen, but also allows Tang Xueqian to see the hope of quickly promoting the rapid transformation of Shatin’s old city.
Even if he is as wise as Tang Xueqian, he cannot imagine the complexity of the situation.
In the 1990s, all the demolition companies in Haizhou were state-owned. Zhang Ke still remembered that the company in charge of a demolition company was actually the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau, which was the demolition company that was ruthlessly demolished a large number of buildings that were originally municipal cultural relics protection units. The demolition fees allocated by the city to be demolished were insufficient, but they were intercepted by these state-owned demolition companies. At that time, the profits of state-owned demolition companies were beyond the reach of private demolition companies.
The huge profits were intercepted in state-owned demolition companies, and then transferred to other places through a variety of investment methods.
Can Tang Xueqian change this fact by breaking the tradition of the entire Haizhou bureaucratic system in an instant?
Zhang Ke thought to himself: I owe enough!
Xu Hongbo has a deep understanding of this among the people. Of course, based on this point, it is impossible to temporarily slow down the renovation of Shatin’s old city. After all, it is not only Tang Xueqian, but others in the city only see the benefits of the renovation of the old city, but cannot see the disadvantages, and will not admit that the city does not have the ability to prevent these disadvantages from happening.
Zhang Ke led Tang Xueqian's ideas to commercial capital, which was a sinister intention. As long as Xu Hongbo did not break it, Tang Xueqian would not be able to see anything in the future. After all, no one would have thought that Zhang Ke could clearly predict the development trend in the next few years.
Besides, Zhang Ke did this to give Tang Xueqian a chance to make amends in the future and would not regret it for life.
No matter what the reason is, the success of Sifengqiao can easily introduce the city's ideas into the trap set by Zhang Ke for them. The city's finances are short of money, but the land value in the central area is eye-catching. Rumors of Shatin's old city renovation are surging, which is catering to the thoughts of these people. If you take out the entire Shatin to be renovated, how much funds will be able to be withdrawn?
As early as March, the Municipal Standing Committee meeting passed a resolution to stop the administrative act of free allocation of land. The allocation of bulk land in the four urban areas needs to pass the Standing Committee meeting. This is Zhou Fuming's intention to strengthen control, but it is also a reflection of the importance of land value.
Even if Tang Xueqian wants to slow down, the city even had a sound of demolishing Shatian at one time. Moreover, the support for this sound is quite strong, just like the call to launch the Dredging River dredging project before the New Year, involving all aspects of interest.
Against this background, Zhang Ke's proposal became a safe method in Tang Xueqian's view. Although he would rather advance eastward from the area near Shatin, sometimes the mayor's opinions were also weak.
Make a plan for the overall demolition of Shatin, include Shatin West District as the first batch of overall demolition plans, and first take a piece of land in Shatin street market to test the popularity of the market.
This is how this land was launched, and the city has come up with a lot of opinions.
Tang Xueqian hopes to follow the new model of bidding, selling and selling for free in some cities. In the end, the opinions formed by the Municipal Standing Committee were to adopt the traditional allocation method, which could be price-based and finally decided by the Municipal Standing Committee meeting. This was just the result of the struggle between stakeholders, and it was not beyond Zhang Ke's expectations.
The fanaticism of Sifengqiao has made many people unaware of the risks of Shatian fragrant bait, and no one will seriously consider whether the commercial capital scale of Haizhou City has the ability to completely digest the commercial area of Shatian West at one time.
Including Zhang Zhifei's Hongyuan Company, Shao Zhigang and others were all ready to go. They all came to Zhang Ke to discuss this matter. Zhang Ke remained silent. With their strength, the city could not feel at ease to hand over the land to them for experimental fields. In addition to the later development, the city hoped to introduce outside capital.
In short, if they have to work hard, they will go with them. It is not the two of them who are moved, but the one who acted the fastest was Jincheng Group. Jincheng Group adopted the strategy that seemed to be the most appropriate at the time. They found Singapore New Town Real Estate Group, which had always been cooperative with Jincheng Group. The two companies joined forces to acquire land, which was very consistent with the city's idea of attracting investment, but they required the city to give preferential treatment on land transfer fees.
The rapid action of Jincheng Group made Zhang Ke suspect that they had set their sights on Shatian for a long time, and they couldn't help but wonder: Is it because of the Wan family and Zhou Fuming that made peace between Zhao Jinrong?
When Zhang Ke saw the foreign investment ratio of Jincheng Real Estate Company jointly established by Jincheng and Xincheng Real Estate, it was almost certain. Jincheng Real Estate was just a joint venture, but it was actually Zhao Jinrong’s own land.
