Chapter 75: The Outline of the Development of Jiudu

Yang Xing and he sat on the sofa and pondered for a while, digesting the shocking news, but Yang Xing broke the silence: "Does Mayor Kan have any ideas about the future development direction of Jiudu?" Kan Dongtian thought for a while and said: "It is already a cliché to be an official and benefit the people, but as the head of this city, I will never leave any benefits for the people. It's just that Jiudu's burden is too heavy, and I haven't really been in power for a long time. If it weren't for your help, it wouldn't have attracted the attention of the province. Speaking of which, you are really my blessing!"

Yang Xing waved his hand and said, "Who doesn't want his hometown to be good? I just do my best. It's mainly due to the support of the city and I didn't treat some of my ideas as crazy talk. In fact, the province has this idea, and it also attributes to the integrity storm two years ago. Although the city has shamed the whole country, there will be gains and losses. In the province's view, this not only hits the conservative local forces in Jiudu, but also makes the Jiudu officialdom clear. The province promotes you and the current secretary to take the means of cooperation rather than checks and balances. I hope you can improve the economy. Mayor Kan lives up to expectations and makes Jiudu Pedestrian Street the number one in the country. He goes to Beijing, Shanghai and other cities, and now proposes a super university plan. Some ideas in the province are normal."

Even if there were only two, Kan Dongtian blushed at Yang Xing's naked flattery. Most of these were actually from Yang Xing's creativity. But he had no intention of giving for himself, but he always tried every means to put it on himself. It was hard to imagine that this was something a twenty-year-old could do.

Yang Xing stood up and pointed to the huge map of Jiudu on the wall and continued: "After the reform, the country actually adopted the method of tilting policies towards coastal cities to promote reform. Now that it has been nearly twenty years of reform, it is time to implement these successful policies and experiences across the country. Vice Governor Li's words show that the highlight of the central government's next stage is to promote the reform of state-owned enterprises across the country and establish a modern enterprise system. Now some reforms in Jiudu have entered the eyes of central leaders and are more in line with the ideas of high-level reform. This is our luck and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we can really solve the problem of Jiudu's state-owned enterprise reform, it is not a luxury to go to the next level." Kan Dongtian looked along Yang Xing's finger and saw him pointing at the center of Binhe District of Jiudu.

Jiudu Binhe District is the heart of the entire Jiudu. Although Xicheng District is prosperous and lively, as long as anyone can hold up the streets of Jiudu to ask him, where is the most important place in Jiudu, he will probably point to the Binhe District without hesitation. This district has six largest factories in Jiudu, and they all have close ties with the military. The major projects in the 15th Plan are basically here, and there are also several of the best colleges and universities in Jiudu, which are one of the most densely populated urban areas in Jiudu.

It was said that Jiu was the first few people in the Cold War nuclear strike list, and here is probably the bounce point of the nuclear bomb. However, with the deepening of reforms in recent years, these large state-owned enterprises have had a hard time. The historical burden is heavy, the personnel are redundant, and the products are unsalable. It can be said that none of them can make a profit. They have to eat a large amount of subsidies from the central and local governments every year. Jiudu has developed slowly in recent years, and the main reason for the tight municipal expenditure is this. Moreover, the poor corporate efficiency has also brought about a major problem, which is the increase in the number of laid-off workers. Almost every large factory here has nearly 10,000 employees. In addition, there are estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of people who have handled domestic withdrawals, suspensions and salary retention in previous years, and their families. These people live in meager lives and have no social security, which can easily become social instability factors. Li Dengyun's gun-making den is used in a large number of laid-off workers.

This is a headache for previous Jiucheng Municipal Governments. Kan Dongtian knew this very well, and didn't know what Yang Xing had. Yang Xing pointed to the Yudai River that passed through Jiucheng District and said, "I know that the municipal government is preparing to expand the land on the south bank of the Yudai River to establish a high-tech zone. I don't agree very much. Now the whole country is in the high-tech zone and economic development zone. Jiucheng has no advantages, and it can't win a provincial capital like the mall. Why not change the thinking and define it as a new industrial zone, move all the old factories in Binhe District here, concentrate resources, close some duplicate construction and serious pollution supporting factories, and move those production lines with market and high technical content. Cut off those production workshops that are seriously wasted and have no vitality."

While speaking, Yang Xing took out a map of the factory area distribution of the Japanese Kawashima Shipyard and pointed it out to Kan Dongtian, "Look, the Japanese workshops are so closely and orderly distributed. Iron ore is transported from the eastern terminal of Ishikawa Island. After steelmaking, steel rolling, cutting, processing, and assembly, a complete large ship comes out of the western section of the island. There is almost no warehouse in the middle, and the logistics cost is compressed to the extreme. Moreover, the water, electricity, gas and other supporting facilities in these workshops are used uniformly, and the entire Ishikawa Island is a terrible and complete machine." Kan Dongtian's eyes lit up. Yang Xing pointed out that what domestic extensive enterprises lack. According to Yang Xing's idea, if it can be achieved, it can at least reduce the product costs of these factories by 30%.

"Also, everyone thinks that the old factory is not valuable, but in fact they have forgotten one thing. The most valuable thing about the old factory is the land under their feet. Not to mention the distance, the tow factory and diesel engine factory in Binhe District have large commercial areas. Isn't this a duplicate construction? When they move away, they are next to this building. I promise to build another large commercial pedestrian street, and the popularity will not be much worse than that of the Qunxingfang." Yang Xing pointed out the window and said to Kan Dongtian. Kan Dongtian smiled knowingly. Yang Xing still couldn't forget his plan to make money. If this matter can be accomplished, he will definitely give him some sweetness. As long as it is within a reasonable and legal scope, reciprocity is just a matter of raising hands.

"The land of super universities is also settled. National Defense Foreign Languages ​​University and Jiudu University of Science and Technology can be moved here, and resources can be allocated reasonably, such as sharing libraries, auditoriums, canteens, etc., to build a university town. In addition, to repair the Yudai River, build a large water park, it would be strange if the land prices here do not soar. At that time, it is not too late to attract investment, build high-end communities, resettlement housing, and then draw a small area to introduce high-tech enterprises. Of course, the most important issue of funds is to mobilize all the power that can be used. If the plan is feasible, ask the central government for policies openly. Even if it is not a "planned city", it can still enjoy the treatment of a "planned city". This requires the city and the province to do their work..."

Yang Xing talked endlessly, as if a brand new city of Jiucheng was rising from his words, Kan Dongtian also listened very attentively and remembered that no matter how wonderful Yang Xing’s plan was, it still required his own cooperation and implementation. Moreover, Yang Xing clearly stated that he would take the credit for this plan to him. After leaving this office, neither party would admit it was related to Yang Xing. People would only remember that Mayor Kan changed the city in the future.

So he was not jealous of Yang Xing. But deep down he sighed: "If such a person does not engage in politics, it is really a loss to the country!" But when he remembered Yang Xing's lazy look in his pajamas in the morning, he had to admit that such a person who had a mind that was out of mainstream thought would not be willing to be bound by the provisions of the officialdom. As long as he could make this wild idea come true, he would be satisfied!

The next day, Yang Xing's vague and fragmented ideas were finally sorted into a complete future development plan for Jiucheng City. Kan Dongtian immediately held an enlarged meeting with the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the leaders of the municipal government. This meeting discussed the transformation of Jiucheng City's development model, establishing a new city, and reforms of various functional departments at the municipal level for three days. Finally, even middle-level cadres from various districts and counties joined in. After unifying the opinions, everyone felt that this matter was very important and needed to report to the higher level.

Even if Jiudu is now Kan Dongtian's one-man show, those deputy mayors who are dragging their legs are much more honest after being taught by Jiudu's pedestrian street plan, but when it comes to Jiudu's development plan in the next few decades, Kan Dongtian is still very cautious. He must at least maintain a voice at the municipal level before reporting to the upper level. Finally, although most cadres are more conservative in their thoughts, there is no doubt about Jiudu's ability to develop better. In the great temptation of Jiudu becoming a "single-planned city" and their level is immediately raised, the major principles have been completely decided. In addition to some details and debates, on January 15, the document "Outline of the Future Development of Jiudu" was discussed by the city and submitted to the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee after being submitted to the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee after being discussed by the city.

The province also attached great importance to this matter. It held a special provincial party committee meeting to discuss it for one day. It believed that Jiudu City's plan has lofty intentions and great courage to reform. It is a rare reform plan for comprehensive consideration. The province firmly supports it. However, this development plan involves reforms in a large central city from top to bottom, from inside to outside, with more than one million people. Its intensity and the number of policy problems encountered in the reform are unprecedented and must be submitted to the State Council for approval. However, the province also gave Jiudu City a reassurance, and for some projects that can be approved within the province, we can take action first.

On January 16, the provincial and municipal levels established the Jiudu University Education Reform Committee, led by Kan Dongtian himself, in Jiudu City with unprecedented efficiency, and took the first step of the plan. According to the province's ideas, reform committee members with various names will be organized in the future. Jiudu and Zhongyuan plan to break the whole into pieces before the central government's approval to launch reform measures that do not involve the central authority in the plan. The great man once said: "Reform is to cross the river by feeling the stones." The province and Jiudu City plan to go down the river first.
