Zhong Guangda not only supported it, but also fully supported it. He called the director of the County Public Security Bureau on the spot and asked for a thorough investigation. The intensity was beyond Li Qing's expectation.
In fact, Yao Yuan and Zhong Guangda had already been angry with each other. Today's link is just a process. After all, Yao Yuan is the deputy director and does not have the final say.
Zhong Guangda knew very well how he became the acting county magistrate. He had nothing but support for Yao Yuan.
After talking about business, Zhong Guangda kept Yao Yuan behind and said with a smile, "Xiao Yao, I understand that you want to do family planning work, but you can't neglect investment promotion. The county committee and county government established an infrastructure office based on your suggestions.
Build roads first and then get rich. The stage is set, just waiting for you to sing a good show."
Yao Yuan said, "I remember this and have already contacted you. However, has the county made a decision on using this year's poverty alleviation funds to build roads?"
Zhong Guangda sighed and said, "There is a lot of resistance, but Secretary Wu supports it, so there shouldn't be a big problem. Quan Liuyou's lessons learned from the past are still there, and they won't be vigilant."
"County Magistrate Zhongda, we are now racing against time. It will be 1996 in half a year. Year after year, the more than 900,000 people in Xinfeng County cannot afford to wait." Yao Yuan said with emotion.
By 1996, the Asian economic crisis began to brew, and it would eventually erupt in mid-1997, which would inevitably affect Hong Kong businessmen's investment in the mainland, especially in the Pearl River Delta region.
Zhong Guangda said with a wry smile, "I was just about to tell you this. Even if all 20 million of the poverty alleviation funds are used to build roads, it will not be enough according to the road planning made by the Transportation Bureau. A village road network in Huilong Town
The project budget is just over 20 million."
"What to do? How to fill the gap? The new traffic road planning fully takes into account your suggestions. Even if we first build a backbone highway and reconstruct the roads in the county, 20 million is not enough. The gap this year is at least
Fifty million."
For a large county with a population of nearly one million, spending tens of millions to build roads is really pitiful. Yao Yuan’s hometown, Xihai County, has a population size and area similar to Xinfeng County, and the annual budget spent on transportation facilities
The budget is more than 300 million, but even so there are still a lot of bad roads and unpaved roads.
Many places in Xinfeng County are mountainous, and road construction costs are at least 30% higher than those in Xihai County, which is located in the plains. This further highlights the small budget for transportation facilities in Xinfeng County.
"Xiao Yao, you have a good relationship with Chunfeng Fund. Can you ask them to donate some money and find a few companies to use the Huilong Highway model. The companies will pay for the road construction, and we will provide preferential policies in terms of land use and other aspects.
"Zhong Guangda asked expectantly.
Yao Yuan shook his head slightly, "I know you will have this idea. The Chunfeng Fund only helps students, so it is useless to ask them. It is also extremely difficult to find companies to fund road construction because the situation is different. The 80,000-acre tea garden of the Tea Master Beverage Company is in Huilong.
Deep in the town, they needed the Huilong Highway, and it was a must. With such a basic need, I offered to use rent in exchange for their funding to build the road, which was accepted."
"What about the county town? There is no such basic demand. People will wait for you to complete the infrastructure and other things before coming to inspect. After the inspection, they will invest if they feel it is suitable. To build a nest to attract phoenixes, you must first build the nest."
Zhong Guangda was stunned, nodded in understanding, and sighed.
As the acting county magistrate, it can be said that he was appointed in a critical situation. If he cannot make some achievements in a short period of time to let his superiors see it, and if he cannot make some livelihood projects that make the people applaud and praise him, it will be difficult to explain the past. Eyes are fixed on him from top to bottom.
What about him?
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "County Magistrate Zhong, actually the rich people in the county will see if you dare to do it."
"As long as I can get money, I'll have no problem with it. Tell me what you can do. But don't risk the urgent needs of the county's cadres and people by raising funds and apportioning money. I won't do it."
Zhong Guangda said.
Yao Yuan pointed to his feet and said, "There is no need to raise funds to apportion, isn't this just money?"
"Money? Where?" Zhong Guangda was puzzled.
Yao Yuan took out a company introduction material and handed it to Zhong Guangda.
Zhong Guangda quickly opened the page and read, "Botu Tourism Development Co., Ltd.?"
"The county government compound was sold to a tourism development company and converted into a resort. This building is exactly the same as the White House. It is definitely unique." Yao Yuan said with a smile, "It depends on whether you, County Magistrate Zhong, dare to do it."
Yao Yuan continued, "The county compound can be sold, and of course other things can be sold, such as the dozens of luxury cars in the county, plus the special cars of the top officials below, Crown, Audi, Duke, etc., there must be seventy or eighty
Taiwan? They are all luxury cars that are in short supply in China. I asked about the market price and found that 80% new ones can be sold for 300,000 yuan. The county government bought these cars one after another in the past two years, and even reached 90% new ones. All of them were sold.
Yes, it’s no problem to scrape together 20 million.”
"It shouldn't be a problem to sell the new county government compound for 50 million. When it was built, the White House office building alone cost 50 million, and the entire compound cost more than 100 million to build. It should be sold for half.
Someone took it over. This Botu Tourism Development Co., Ltd. is just one of the interested parties and can be used as a reference. When it is officially sold, an auction will be used and invitations will be sent to national tourism development companies. The one with the highest price will get it, including luxury cars.
You can use the auction method, maybe you can get more money."
Yao Yuan finished speaking in one breath, lit a cigarette and started smoking.
Zhong Guangda was shocked by his words. This was a plan to sell all the county's property. However, when he calmed down and thought about it, this was not a quick way to obtain funds!
What's an office building? Spend some money to renovate the old county government compound and it can still be used. As for luxury cars, it's enough to have a car for commuting. Why pursue luxury?
Zhong Guangda did not think of this method because it was related to the welfare of the county's leading cadres at the department level and might cause public outrage, so he did not think about it at all.
Now Yao Yuan puts it bluntly and points out the most critical point - you are so poor that you have to wear your pants, but you still want to enjoy it?
"County Magistrate Zhong, this is something that offends people, and it will offend many people. You should think carefully before deciding to do it. I will contact the auction company in Hong Kong and strictly follow the regulations." Yao Yuan said.
Zhong Guangda suddenly came back to his senses, slammed the table and said, "Don't think about it, just do it! If you sell these things, you can raise 100 million, and all the roads and infrastructure planned to be built this year will only be enough."
It can all be started. You are right, nearly one million people in Xinfeng County cannot afford to wait."
"If you sell luxury cars in the county, you should also sell them at the township level. Since you want to sell them, just deal with them all at once, so as not to cause uneven peace and disaster." Yao Yuan suggested.
It was all selling anyway, and it was all about offending people. There was no difference between selling part of it and selling it all. Zhong Guangda also had no hesitation.
Zhong Guangda said helplessly, "People say that Xinfeng County is a national-level poverty-stricken county, but Xinfeng County government is a national-level wealthy county. The Xinfeng County government compound and the luxury cars equipped by leaders at all levels are the most intuitive reflection. To change the situation for the people,
Regarding our views, why not be a 'prodigal son' for a while?"
Yao Yuan gave a thumbs up, "You will be a good county magistrate, one who is loved by the people."
