Chapter 62: Traffic bottlenecks

At the end of March, his cousin Chen Yuan was transferred to the county party committee as deputy county magistrate, in charge of industry, transportation and safety supervision.

The post of mayor of Linjiang Town will be taken over by Qi Jiande, the village party secretary of Daling Village.

Rub, Qi Zheng couldn't have imagined that the county party committee would have such an operation.

Uncle Cousin's transfer is understandable.

Counting Qi Zheng's additional investment in Linjiang Town Deer Park after returning from the United States, Uncle Cousin can be said to have completed the task of attracting investment of tens of millions, and with the county's thirst for investment promotion, Uncle Cousin's promotion to a level is not too surprising, after all, he has not entered the Standing Committee.

In addition, Jiagu's biggest requirement for the county is to improve the poor road traffic conditions in Pucheng County. In this case, it is a positive idea to let my cousin, who has a good relationship with Jiagu, serve as the deputy county magistrate in charge of transportation, give full play to his subjective initiative, coordinate communication with Jiagu, and strive for the greatest support.

But how can Dad take over as mayor?

was promoted from the village committee secretary to the town mayor, which is unprecedented, but it has shocked countless people's eyes.

In this regard, Comrade Qi Jiande, a veteran party member, was not shocked, and he said frankly: "It was also your cousin's proposal to build a 'characteristic town' that attracted the attention of the county. Of course, the most important thing is your investment, even if it is to appease the investors, the county must show sincerity. ”

Qi Zheng smacked his lips, "Then Dad, have you ever thought about going further?"

Qi Jiande shook his head, "Your father is just standing on this post and laying a good foundation for the town so that your cousin's hard work will not be wasted." I don't have any pursuit of career at all, even to the county magistrate. ”

Qi Zheng could only give his father a thumbs up.

......

If Comrade Qi Jiande, a veteran party member, has no desires and no desires, then his cousin Chen Yuan, who has just taken office, is in a hurry.

According to the agreement reached with Jiagu, the county promised to open at least 120 kilometers of transportation arteries, and according to the standard highway construction, the investment needs to be hundreds of millions of yuan.

The county gritted its teeth but squeezed out 10 million, which is already even pants.

Senior county officials and county magistrates have already gone to the city and even the province for help, and according to feedback, they can win up to 25 million yuan in transportation subsidies, which is already a reward for Pucheng County as the first district and county to attract large investment projects this year.

Again, you need money everywhere, and you can't swallow it all in one place.

At present, it seems that even half of the construction funds have not been scraped together. Seeing that Jiagu is about to land the project, and if it doesn't start again, a hat that does not cooperate with investors will be pressed down, and there will be no place to cry.

After racking his brains, Chen Yuan really had no choice, so he had no choice but to go to his nephew to cry.

......

"Xiaozheng, the county has begun to start the preliminary work of planning along the county's main highways, so that once the construction plan is completed, the construction of the project can be promoted immediately. Uncle Cousin took the initiative to leak his mouth to Qi Zheng.

Qi Zheng remained quiet, "Isn't it very good? I also intend to put a large pig farm in Guanting Township, so that the traffic on the north line of the main trunk line will have too much impact on the pig farm." If we start early, we might be able to complete it together with the pig farm. ”

Uncle Chen Yuan said in a resolute tone, "The northern line must be the first thing that needs to be solved, which is not only related to the investment landing of Jiagu, but also related to the development of the five townships in the north of our Pucheng County and the poverty alleviation of more than 200,000 people." But the southern line must also be solved, and it must be solved as soon as possible, which is the throat of our Pucheng County and the city and the province, since I am in charge of transportation, no matter how I have to solve this matter. ”

"The problem now is that if the two lines are really to be launched at the same time, the county can ask for people and land......"

"I just don't have any money. Qi Zheng asked with a smile and interrupted his cousin's determination.

"Hehe, Xiaozheng, you also know that the finances of our townships and towns are really difficult now, and we basically can't raise any funds. The county's finances are not far behind, and in the words of the director of the finance bureau, the bureau is so poor that it can't even keep a mouse. Uncle Cousin said with a wry smile.

"In these days, you can say anything, but you don't want to be affectionate when you talk about money. You see, in what year did our town rack their brains to collect agricultural taxes, water conservancy fees, and overall planning and retention funds? The county is urging so tightly that the village cadres have to pay their salaries, and they all have to pay money, and they all have to collect every cent from the peasants. They are all villagers, who wants to do this, but when we become cadres, we can only do this kind of thing. ”

Chen Yuan sighed, "And now you can't earn two dollars from farming at all, the price of means of production has risen, but the price of grain is low." It's really not easy for ordinary people to earn two dollars, and we don't want to, but we can't help it. ”

"Now the young and middle-aged people in the township can only go out to work, but they can't go home for a year and a half, leaving the elderly and children at home. I was very annoyed when I was busy with a farm, and I had to spend a lot of money just to get back and forth. But staying at home and not finding a job to do, staying at home all day except playing cards has nothing else to do, and it will also bring a series of security problems, and we have never had a better solution before. ”

"So you understand why the county is so interested in your investment, right? We are now looking forward to you really developing and driving the people in the county to increase their income and become rich. Uncle Cousin sighed.

Qi Zheng also knew that this was the most prominent problem in the rural areas at present. Every year after the spring is the best time to collect agricultural taxes, water conservancy fees and double withdrawals, basically the income of farmers this season is to pay for these.

It can be said that if you don't go out to work or have no way to engage in a side job, rural families will have enough food and clothing at the end of the year, and it will be even more difficult to save two dollars.

Qi Zheng has the impression that the policy of reducing or exempting agricultural taxes to benefit farmers will not be implemented until 04. The policy of benefiting farmers who are fully exempted from agricultural taxes will not be officially introduced until 06 years, and since then 900 million Chinese farmers have completely bid farewell to the history of paying agricultural taxes.

Far water can't quench the thirst of the near.

Qi Zheng is not capable of solving the problems of the peasants in the whole country, but he hopes that through development, he can change the appearance of some districts and counties, which will inevitably bring stimulation and influence to the surrounding districts and counties.

"Then cousin, what do you mean......" Qi Zheng steadied his mind and looked at his cousin and asked.

"Well, now the county has only raised 30 or 40 million yuan in road repair funds, and there is really no way to do the rest. Uncle Cousin knows that you have money in your hands, so let's see if you can help the county to cushion it, and when the finances are a little more abundant, it will be easy to do. Uncle Cousin also sneered.

Qi Zheng pondered for a moment, raised his head and said, "Uncle Cousin, I won't hide it from you, the company now has some liquidity. But I also have a vision of how this part of the funds will be arranged, which is one thing. On the other hand, it is not in the interests of the company to make advances for the public by private units, even if it does not mention the policy risks, and it is difficult for me to explain to the company. ”

Seeing his cousin's disappointed expression, Qi Zheng smiled slightly and continued: "That's it, I'll give you an idea for your cousin." ”

After speaking, he took a sip of tea.

Chen Yuan glanced at Qi Zheng and said angrily: "Okay, if you kid has something to say, don't entertain me anymore." ”

Qi Zheng smiled, put down the teacup, and said to his cousin: "I have an idea, so I'll tell my cousin for you to refer to." If it works, then funding for road construction should not be a problem. ”

"Uncle Cousin, you can contact the Changzhou side in the next province, and the two sides will cooperate to open up the transportation artery from Changzhou to Pucheng County, and the two sides will form a company, which will use the toll rights of this road as collateral to borrow money from the bank to build this road. ”

"Toll road?" Uncle Cousin was startled, and he was immediately full of interest.

"Yes. Uncle cousin, if you look at the map, now from Changzhou to our province, you have to go around the national highway to the west. However, if this traffic artery is opened, then it will be possible to go south from Changzhou through the north of our county, and the distance into our province will be shortened by several hundred kilometers, and I believe that Changzhou will also be interested. ”

Chen Yuan was thoughtful, his eyes were bright and bright.

"It's a good idea. The only problem is that the approval of toll road projects is not so simple, but I am afraid that the city does not have this power, and it has to be in the province, right? ”

"Of course, the province has to approve it, but since the mid-90s, all localities have begun to take this approach to develop highways by leaps and bounds. Qi Zheng smiled faintly, "This is already a model that has been recognized by the state." I don't know if there is a precedent in the province, but it should not be difficult to succeed through various channels. ”

"Once the province approves it, Uncle Cousin, you can even set up a company with Changzhou to borrow money from the bank, and at the same time let the construction company advance funds to build the road from the county seat to Guanting Township. In this way, the financial pressure on the county is greatly reduced. ”

The more Chen Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was quite subtle.

After all, Pucheng County is a poor area, and the channels for raising funds are very narrow, this is an experiment, and even if it fails, there is not much loss. If successful, the benefits are obvious.

The point is, it's very operational.

Thinking like this, his cousin Chen Yuan couldn't wait to go back with this idea to report to the county party committee.

Qi Zheng stretched his waist, and secretly praised Ding Xian, who first proposed this idea.

Since the agreement was reached, the company has assessed that if the county wants to improve the transportation conditions in an all-round way, funds will inevitably be scarce.

Then the most likely thing to happen is that the government will blow the autumn wind to Jiagu Company.

After all, there is an insider in the government, Uncle Chen Yuan, who knows too much about Jiagu's strength.

If he refuses bluntly, it is likely to affect Kaya's relationship with the government.

As an enterprise, it is natural to talk about business in business, but the government always can't avoid it. If the relationship with the government is rigid, even if the county reduces the efficiency of work a little, the development of Jiagu cannot be delayed.

But it's not a good thing to be obedient, and if you develop this habit, it will have a greater impact on the business.

Therefore, Ding Xian of the Strategy Department proposed this ingenious solution, and he had a better explanation for the government.

"Let's hope that everything goes well, so that the pig farm and organic fertilizer manufacturing plant can be built at the same time as the county's road to Guanting Township, and it will not affect the subsequent operation. Qi Zheng thought.
