The haze weather in China does not occur in a short time.
In fact, since the great development in the 1950s and 1960s, many industrialized cities have experienced considerable smog.
But at that time, the overall scope was not large, so the situation did not appear to be serious.
In recent years, as China's industry has become more and more developed, environmental protection has not kept pace, and then it exploded in the next few years.
Of course, there is another important factor.
That is because after the global financial crisis in 2008, China launched an infrastructure construction project to stimulate the economy, causing the output value of industry, especially heavy industry, to increase significantly again, thus increasing industrial pollution again.
Xiao Qi had long known that it was wrong to increase production capacity without any restrictions without grasping the most essential technological upgrades to improve his competitiveness.
Therefore, Xiao Qi instilled this concept into his father and Uncle Niu early on, asking them to run and appeal. They must not blindly expand, but should further reduce production capacity and throw away all backward production capacity.
Otherwise, when Europe and the United States recover, not only will these factories not be able to form strong competitiveness, but they will be directly squeezed into bankruptcy because they have no technical advantages. In the end, they will waste money and not bring much benefit. Generally speaking,
It feels like the gain outweighs the gain.
Both Niu Ruzheng and Xiao Xu agreed with this view, especially Niu Ruzheng, who had mentioned this issue many times in government meetings. It was precisely because of his efforts that the multi-trillion revitalization plan in the previous life was still in place.
Not released.
However, Niu Ruzheng alone is definitely not strong enough, so Xiao Qi needs to find someone to help him, and this person is Yu Chengsheng.
There is no need for Yu Chengsheng to specifically talk about reducing backward production capacity, but to explain the harm of fine particulate matter to the human body, then the steel plants in Yanzhao and Jinwei will suffer - the bosses and their families all live in the capital, who dares to say what Yu Chengsheng can say
No, it will definitely cause public outrage.
And you can’t say that only your capital is the most important, and the rest of the cities don’t need to worry about smog, right?
Therefore, steel plants, mines, stone mountains, construction sites, etc. will definitely be severely inspected and closed down.
Once heavily polluting industries such as steel and mining are stopped, on the one hand, the environmental quality will continue to improve, and backward production capacity can be eliminated. On the other hand, it supports Niu Ruzheng's proposal.
Speaking of which, this also kills two birds with one stone.
For Yu Chengsheng to reach this point, of course he has figured out Xiao Qi's strategy of killing two birds with one stone.
But he didn't care at all, because he thought Xiao Qi was right and should do it, so he didn't care at all whether he was "used" by Xiao Qi.
What's more, reducing backward production capacity and increasing the country's true core competitiveness is something Yu Chengsheng agrees with very much.
When a country just begins to develop its industry, some necessary sacrifices are inevitable.
But China's industrialization process has reached its current stage, so it should be possible to carry out the second step of upgrading, gradually moving towards a higher industrial chain position, and gradually occupying a higher position.
As his thoughts passed, Yu Chengsheng asked another question, "I heard you talk about cars just now, but don't you know that when the world economic crisis has affected China, one of the most important strategies is steel?
, after the heavy industry plan such as shipbuilding.”
"I think this should have no impact." Xiao Qi explained: "As I said just now, the pollution emissions from car exhausts can be seen from the car ownership in cities such as London, New York, and Tokyo.
First of all, the gasoline and diesel used in cars are themselves refined, and the exhaust emission treatment of cars has also been discussed and studied for a long time and has reached a relatively low level. At least Uncle Yu, you have never seen it again.
However, before the 1990s, black smoke was emitted from the exhaust pipe as soon as the car was started, right?
Secondly, cars have now become a means of transportation that people rely on. If we want to stop it, it will undoubtedly directly go against the historical trend. This will have serious consequences for both the economic development of the entire country and the overall living standards of the people.
consequences, so it cannot be stopped.”
"But 10 is still 10. With more cars, maybe it will rise to 15 or even 20?" Yu Chengsheng said.
"You are right, so there are also contradictions here. It depends on how to solve them." Xiao Qi expressed his opinion, "I think this matter should be divided into two parts. First, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the provincial capital cities,
, coastal developed cities, etc., because of the dense population and very congested urban space, there should be some restrictions on cars in these places. For example, small cities in the third and fourth tiers have a small population and a large area, so there is no need to
There are no restrictions on what to do.”
"What are the restrictions?"
"It's very simple." Xiao Qi said: "We don't need to talk about traffic restrictions. Facts have proved that traffic restrictions are of little use. I'm sure they will be even less useful in easing traffic in the future. We don't need to talk about gas price restrictions either. Then
It’s not necessary. After all, we have just bought so much oil here, and a large amount of low-priced oil will be added to the warehouse in the past two years. It is also a good thing for the people to get some benefits. But in terms of fees, we should implement tiered fees.”
Yu Chengsheng pointed at Xiao Qi, "You should tell me more carefully and finish it in one go!"
Xiao Qi chuckled and said, "Uncle Yu, have you ever heard of Singapore's urban vehicle toll collection system?"
"No."
"Cars in Singapore are very expensive, not only because of the price, but also because their license plates are expensive. The license plates are expensive, but each license plate you buy can only be used for 10 years. After 10 years, you have to pay back the license plate.
, I will spend huge sums of money to buy another license plate myself.”
"Oh, this is different from Dongfang." Yu Chengsheng nodded and said, "Dongfang has more than 30,000 license plates. Once you buy it, you will always have it. Rich people don't care."
"Yes, so this is just one of Singapore's solutions. It is not suitable for China. The main reason is that China has too many people and the number of rich people has suddenly increased." Xiao Qi continued, "Actually, Singapore
There is no shortage of rich people, so this has little impact on them. What really has a big impact is that they charge directly according to the area during the morning and evening peak periods.
Let’s take the capital as an example. For example, if you want to enter the East Fourth Ring Road from the East Fifth Ring Road during the rush hour at 9 o’clock in the morning, the electronic equipment installed on the East Fourth Ring Road will transfer 5 yuan from the magnetic induction card in your car.
.If you want to enter the East 3rd Ring Road from the East 4th Ring Road, then charge another 10 yuan. Similarly, you will also be charged like this when you go out of the city. The more crowded you go, the more money you have to pay.
After this trip, it was only thirty or fifty yuan!
This is every day. If it is like this every day, if you calculate, it will cost one or two thousand a month, or even two or three thousand! This will make rich people murmur in their hearts, let alone those who buy cars.
, 90 people buy cars with a price of less than 300,000 yuan. How can they not worry about the money? Can they not go to these crowded city centers less? In this way, wouldn’t the possibility of congestion be greatly reduced?”
Yu Chengsheng nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "This method is good, but can electronic technology accurately detect and deduct money? Are there any flaws in the technology?"
"Of course not. This etc system has been used in Singapore and the UK for many years. It is because of this that so many vehicles in these two cities were not directly blocked and paralyzed." Xiao Qi said: "
Of course, it is up to the relevant departments to study how to deduct money, how much to deduct, whether to recharge first or pay later, etc. Before that, it is necessary to go to the United Kingdom and Singapore to investigate and learn from experience.
. As long as you see how others are successful and how they put in all kinds of efforts for success, you can learn the whole set and apply it better."
"Okay, I've written it down." Yu Chengsheng wrote down a note, "You continue."
"Then the second point is to significantly increase the fees for street parking and parking lots in the city center." Xiao Qidao, "As long as you dare to park in the central city between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m., the fees will be directly charged.
It rises until it makes them feel distressed. As long as the parking fee reaches more than 100 yuan a day, then I think the large congestion caused by parking on the road everywhere, in front of bustling commercial plazas, hospitals, and schools will naturally be reduced a lot.
At present, what I can think of are basically these two points, and they can be vigorously promoted in the prosperous cities of China. As for other effective restriction methods, it depends on our collective thinking. I think the experts will focus on
Together, we can definitely think more than I can on my own."
"Haha, I think you are like this. You just don't want people to buy cars!" Yu Chengsheng shook his head repeatedly, "If I were an ordinary person in a big city, I would have to think more about whether to buy a car... buy a car
The cost is more expensive than taking a taxi every day! If you buy a car like that, the usage rate is basically not high, which is really a waste.”
"There is nothing we can do about it. We don't want to congest or pollute the air, so we can only impose more restrictions." Xiao Qidao, "But this is not just about reducing the time people use cars. For example, the regional electronic toll collection system
, as long as you miss the morning and evening rush hours, you can still enter the central city. And if you go out to travel to the countryside, go on a self-driving tour, etc., isn't it also very good? A car can still be used.
Moreover, although there are many cars bought and sold in big cities, there are also many in small cities. This does not have much impact on car sales! With the improvement of our economic and living standards in recent years, more and more people are buying cars.
More and more, at least big cities will not be frightened by such charges, so we will become the largest producer and seller in three to five years."
Such restrictions on the left and restrictions on the right are naturally very inconvenient, but it is not without supplementary solutions.
The young man actually hid a little bit and didn't say anything.
That is to directly open the taxi system, for example, it can pick up people at various stops, etc. This can further reduce the number of people using cars and reduce the pressure on public transportation. It is definitely more effective than driving a few more bus lines.
many.
But this would offend too many people, and Xiao Qi was not willing to stir up a hornet's nest.
After all, the first few items not only have many benefits as Xiao Qi mentioned, but more importantly, they can increase a city's fiscal revenue.
Don’t underestimate this. If you follow what Xiao Qi said, for example, it won’t be a problem for the capital’s municipal finance to increase by more than 20 billion a year!
For local finances that no longer rely on land finance to get rich, this income is really not small, enough to make them excited and greatly promote these projects.
"If it's just a big city, it would be good to do this." After thinking, Yu Chengsheng nodded slowly, "I have written down your plan, and I will go to them to study it in a few days... Xiao Qi
Ah, you are indeed right. Whether it is smog control or car restrictions, this is a big problem!"
"Isn't this a lot of work? With Uncle Yu, you can definitely get it done!" Xiao Qi said flatteringly, "But one thing to be careful about is that the local government cannot use these fees for other purposes, but should
Put it into road transportation, environmental improvement, etc. Only in this way can the people complain less about paying fees."
"Oh, your reminder is very necessary." Yu Chengsheng wrote something in the notebook again, "However, the local finance is not rich, and I am afraid that this money cannot be earmarked for 100 yuan, but at the maximum limit,
It is also necessary for them to take it from the people and use it for the people."
Xiao Qi did not comment on this, because it was not his decision to make the decision in the first place.
When facing Niu Ruzheng and Yu Chengsheng, no matter what the matter is, he only has the right to make suggestions. If he thinks that he can decide anything, he will think too highly of himself and can easily get into trouble.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Xiao Qi said, "Uncle Yu, just now Secretary Li said that you are going to treat me to dinner at noon, so where should we go to eat?"
"Go, go, go. I have something to do later. I have to talk to someone about something when I go to the cafeteria to eat. If you have nothing to do, let's go first... By the way, if you have time, come to my house tonight and I'll ask your aunt to cook something delicious.
Yes, let’s talk about this carefully!” Yu Chengsheng smiled and waved.
"Okay, I will definitely be there tonight!"
Xiao Qi walked out with a sigh of relief.
Finally the plan was thrown out.
Uncle Yu, I really have to work hard for you! r1152
