Chapter 777: Renovating a City

Anyone who knows Zhuang Haiyang's style of acting knows that once he makes a certain decision, then it is undoubtedly very quick to act. While inviting local leaders to the interview, Zhuang Haiyang also made a phone call to his assistant.

The lawyer in charge of the farm's legal affairs, as well as a team of 50 security personnel, as well as other personnel involved in investment affairs, arrived in Xilong directly by special plane from Nanzhou. It's just that when they arrived, it was also the next day.

At this time, Zhuang Haiyang still stayed in the old town of Oil City. Let people clean out a street-side hotel, which is fairly well preserved. A large number of office supplies were purchased nearby, and a hotel that had been abandoned for many years soon became a temporary dormitory.

The former government building that was opened before was also hired by Zhuang Haiyang to clean up the inside thoroughly. When the people in charge of the subsequent negotiations come over, they will also move in to the office.

In Zhuang Haiyang's view, this old city still retains the style of the 80s, and many buildings can be used. What needs to be operated in the early stage is the abandoned waterworks. The government will also send people to improve the power supply problem.

As the governor promised, as long as Zhuang Haiyang is willing to invest here, then the government will also fully cooperate. Especially when he heard that Zhuang Haiyang's first investment was one billion, all the leaders smiled.

Just when everyone thought that Zhuang Haiyang would ask for too many conditions, to their surprise, Zhuang Haiyang said very directly: "If you invest, the process is still according to normal investment." At least I don't want to be treated specially!"

Compared with other investors, who want to get special treatment, Zhuang Haiyang is undoubtedly much easier to speak. Originally, in the opinion of Chief He and his entourage, Zhuang Haiyang would also pay the corresponding lease money for those abandoned lands that could be discounted or even given away for free.

This also means that this land lease money alone will bring a lot of income to Xilong. And Zhuang Haiyang also hopes to take this opportunity to include everything in the contract text, and save any nonsense in the future.

Not surprisingly, as long as Zhuang Haiyang invests in the construction of the surrounding oil city, then the surrounding land prices are believed to increase rapidly. If the leased land is given a lease fee, it will be difficult for others to reach out to the land that has been demarcated.

Even in this abandoned old city, Zhuang Haiyang will give a certain amount of compensation. This also means that what to do with these abandoned houses in the old city now is up to Zhuang Haiyang.

As far as the local government is concerned, such an old city, which has been abandoned for several years, can still earn a compensation payment, who would refuse? In fact, even if Zhuang Haiyang asks for it free of charge, I believe they will not refuse.

To everyone's surprise, Chief He, who originally planned to return, deliberately stayed in the old city for one more night. That night, the group went directly to the street where there were still people living in the old city, and found a restaurant in good condition.

The owner of the hotel was also surprised to learn of the guests he was going to entertain tonight. But no matter what, it is undoubtedly an honor to have such a big leader come from a restaurant to eat. Before that, they couldn't even think about it!

Although the meal was not too exquisite, seeing that Zhuang Haiyang was not dissatisfied, Chief He and his entourage were also happy. In their opinion, if other large enterprises that come to invest in Xilong give Zhuang Haiyang such a good talk, it will be too easy for Nala to invest.

Fortunately, they know in their hearts that in this investment, Zhuang Haiyang does not ask for them. On the contrary, Xilongtai needs such an investment. Even after the arrival of the follow-up negotiation delegation, the cooperation between the two sides was signed very quickly.

I have to say that the new investment involving the heirloom farm may be the reason for the high level of attention. Even before the contract was signed, the rest of the northwestern provinces also felt regretful, and even envied Xilong Province for having such luck.

At this time, Zhuang Haiyang put forward a few requirements of his own, and handed over the negotiation affairs to the negotiator. The next thing he has to do is to let the team come over and invite the cooperative construction companies to come and negotiate new business.

Those people living in the old city soon saw the original deserted old city, and soon came to the team. First of all, the power department, a carload of electrical workers, began to erect new lines in the old city.

Streets that used to be overgrown with weeds were quickly bulldozed. Some of the broken roads have been added with new cement or tar. The vacant neighborhoods that were relocated soon moved in a large number of construction workers.

When the contract was signed, the funds agreed in the contract also quickly arrived at the designated account in Xilong Province. Seeing such a happy Zhuang Haiyang, Chief He, who was in charge of signing, also smiled and said: "Mr. Zhuang, happy cooperation!"

"In the future, I hope that Chief He and all the chiefs will take more care of my Saibei New Town. ”

"This is also the way it should be! Where you need government assistance, you can call at any time, and the provincial government will definitely do its best to help. ”

In order to ensure that the results or achievements of this investment can be seen in the shortest possible time, Chief He personally served as the head of the coordination team. Assign officials to establish a liaison channel with the new city construction management team to ensure the smooth progress of the renovation project.

But what many people don't know is that during this time in the oil city, Zhuang Haiyang also demarcated a lot of old factories that need to be demolished. Considering that the underground water pipes in the old town were no longer usable, he also asked people to re-plan it.

On the site of the old waterworks, which were also demolished, a more advanced waterworks was rebuilt. The contaminated groundwater network has also been combed by Zhuang Haiyang several times during this period using Dinghai Pearl.

If someone were to take the water quality for testing, they would be surprised to find that the quality of the groundwater that led to the relocation of the old city in the first place has been greatly improved. Even if you can't drink it directly, you can't it after filtering.

With the experience of the previous renovation of Rio Island, those construction companies that cooperate with Zhuang Haiyang will naturally not miss such a big project. A large number of construction machinery and vehicles have also begun to appear on the leased desolate land.

These construction vehicles are more used to level the land and remove the rubble on the surface. And the biggest project is to start laying the corresponding irrigation system on this desolate land.

The area selected for the construction of the water tower is also responsible for the corresponding well drilling team and the tower construction team. Once the tower is built, the irrigation network will be activated. At that time, the desertified land will be watered by sprinkling water from time to time every day.

In addition, Zhuang Haiyang also allows people to transport a large number of high-quality soil from other places. For some areas where there is no grass, directly transport soil to cover. Such a large amount of money also surprised many people.

But what is really surprising is that in less than half a month, the originally deserted old city has aroused new vitality. For many residents living in the old town, they find it lively.

As many as 10,000 construction armies poured into this deserted old city one after another, and it really became lively. What surprised them even more was that after the construction army was stationed, many buildings in the old city were preserved.

The supply and marketing cooperative, which exists in the hearts of the residents of the old city, seems to have reopened. The cinema and other well-known buildings have also been renovated. From the outside, it looks like it was in the 80s.

Especially in the commercial street, the slogans painted in the early years have also been retained. Regarding this point, Zhuang Haiyang also said directly: "Don't you think that such a well-preserved street is rare in China?"

"Boss, the cost of repairs is estimated to be no less than reconstruction. Does it make sense to keep this?"

"If you ask, then I'm sure I'll tell you, yes! For people in their seventies, eighties, and even nineties, these buildings make a lot of sense. As long as the neighborhood is restored, there may be a crew coming to film in the future!

If there is a big new city, we should also make full use of it, so that people who will come here in the future can enjoy the modern convenience of this new city, and at the same time, they can also experience the scenes of childhood memories here. ”

The demolished abandoned factories can also be planned into modern shopping plazas and even pedestrian streets after the land is leveled. For Zhuang Haiyang, the investment in this new city is believed to be not too small.

And he believes that as long as the desolate land leased outside the city can be turned back into pastures and even orchards and plantations, then there will be no shortage of tourists in the new city. If you really want to talk about it, there are also well-known tourist attractions around the oil city.

For those tourists who come to Xilong for tourism, when they learn that there is such a tourist city, will they come to play and experience it? As long as there are enough tourists, are they still afraid that the new city will not develop?

Even in the planning of the new city, he plans to hire a professional construction team to build some entertainment facilities in the new city. Eat, drink and have fun, are you afraid that tourists will not consume when they come?

The billion funds invested in the early stage are enough to build a new look for the old city. There is no shortage of funds for the follow-up investment. What we really need to do is to plan and build the new city little by little.

Around the purchased old city, Zhuang Haiyang will also establish a relatively tight security and defense network. As with the Heirloom Farm, visitors entering and leaving the new town will also be subject to security checks.

Unlike other places, you need a permit to enter, but you don't have to pay any fees. To put it bluntly, this old city used to belong to the government, but now this revitalized new city belongs to Zhuang Haiyang.

Those who still live in the old city will enjoy more benefits. Originally, some people were worried about whether Zhuang Haiyang would let them relocate. As a result, Zhuang Haiyang directly said that he would not forcibly evict anyone.

However, in addition to the residents who still live here, those who still want to move back will not enjoy the benefits that the new city provides. For example, employment, medical care, and other benefits.

Upon hearing the news, those elderly residents felt that they were really surprised that they could still enjoy so much treatment when they were old. But in Zhuang Haiyang's view, it is precisely because of their perseverance that it is not natural to be rewarded?

As for the people who want to move back after moving away, then Zhuang Haiyang can only say sorry. Since he paid the compensation for the old city, the leased land and the old city are naturally up to him. Isn't it?
