Women's Market is two or three hundred meters away from the e-commerce street and Pengyue Lianshang Building under construction. The shops along the street mainly deal in low-end women's clothing and supplies, and over time it has become a "women's street" by everyone, and the old name is rarely known.

The women's market is not long, only five or six hundred meters from south to north, and there are old houses along the street, and it has become the main gathering place of women's clothing stores in the city in the 80s. In addition to women's clothing stores, there are also many restaurants with stitches, which are quite flavorful and distinctive.

Shen Huai had a light meal and chatted with Yang Haipeng and Chen Tong, so naturally he would not make a special trip to the top floor of Tianheng Building or Shangxi Garden.

Take Yang Haipeng's words, watching beautiful women walking around the street is more than any scenery.

Walking to the second floor of the West Temple Restaurant, Shen Huai and the others saw that there was an empty booth in the window, walked over and sat down, looking at the flow of people shopping downstairs, it was indeed mainly young women.

In the spring twilight of April, the weather warmed up, and many girls and children began to wear long skirts and thin shirts, with graceful posture and light body, which was really better than going to Shangxi Garden to see the beautiful waitress.

However, in addition to the flow of people shopping at night, there are also several staff members of the municipal land acquisition office who are putting up propaganda slogans along the street - according to the city's work plan, this side of the women's market should be demolished this year.

The restaurant that Shen Huai, Yang Haipeng, and Chen Tong entered is still quite famous in the city, the dishes are good, the price is moderate, and there are few vacant seats on the second floor when it is time to eat.

Chen Tong looked at the staff of the Municipal Land Acquisition Office along the street who were posting propaganda slogans, sighed lightly, and said: "This alley is more worthy of preservation than Meixi Old Street, if it is really demolished, it will be a pity......

The old city of Donghua in the early years was roughly formed in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it was on the north shore of Cuihu Lake, which was square and about four or five square kilometers.

The old city wall has long been gone, and the moat formed by the water of the green lake is still there, and it has also become the most important scenic spot on the periphery of the old city.

Almost along Renmin Middle Road, there are still a small number of historical relics such as the Bell and Drum Tower, the Academy, and the Confucian Temple - this is the absolute commercial center of Donghua, in addition to gathering the main commercial and financial, entertainment and catering industries in Donghua City, the municipal authorities are also mainly concentrated in this area.

The old city is administratively subordinate to Tangzha District, but the city has always had direct control over this core business area. Revenues from taxation and land acquisition and transfer are incorporated into the municipal finance, and planning, urban construction, investment and city appearance management are also decoupled from Tangzha District and have nothing to do with it.

The renovation project of the old city business district and the development of the Xipizha industry are the two things that Chen Baoqi will focus on after his arrival. Projects such as the E-commerce Street, the renovation of Hubin Road and the Pengyue Lianshang Building, which began last year, are all within the scope of the transformation of the downtown business district.

On the side of Meigang, Xiong Wenbin also proposed to the city the planning and construction principle of "retaining the old style and developing the new city", hoping to retain several complete old streets and alleys in the downtown area to preserve the historical relics, but when the new urban planning draft was released, Xiong Wenbin's proposal was not adopted.

Chen Baoqi and they still advocate that in addition to retaining a few points of key cultural relics, all others should be demolished to free up land to fully develop the business district economy.

Shen Huai did not strongly oppose Chen Baoqi's "full demolition" plan, although there was a pity for them, but he also knew that some of the current practical difficulties in Donghua City were there, and said to Chen Tong: "Unless this area is frozen and not transformed, it will be very difficult to talk about retention......

"Hey, Shen Huaijun is also dining here?"

Shen Huai listened to Wen Xuan's greeting, turned his head, and Nobuo Yamazaki's head suddenly poked out from behind the card seat in his left neighborhood, looking at him to say hello.

As the plenipotentiary representative of Fuji Steel in Donghua, Nobuo Yamazaki is also a powerful figure in Donghua.

In addition to the previous 300,000 tons of electric furnace steel project, Fuji Steel, Evergreen Group, Provincial Iron and Steel Group will build a new electric furnace steel project of one million tons, and the construction progress of the project is not slightly slower than that of Xinpu Steel Plant, and the main body will be completed soon.

Shen Huai hadn't met Nobuo Yamazaki for a while, so he didn't expect him to hang out in this restaurant to eat with friends.

Sitting opposite Nobuo Yamazaki were young men and women, handsome men and beautiful women, and the men looked like they were twenty years old, which was the same as Shen Huai's youth.

Shen Huai and the others came upstairs to pay attention to the young man and woman, but Nobuo Yamazaki sat with their backs and did not look at each other.

The relationship between each other can definitely not be harmonious, but they are all people who want to be faced, and a cold greeting after meeting is also necessary - Shen Huai also stood up and greeted: "What a coincidence, Mr. Yamazaki is also here......" Yang Haipeng and Chen Tong couldn't sit still, they stood up and smiled, which was counted as a greeting.

"This Yasuda-kun is the vice president of the Yasuda Bank in Nanjing, and he has also admired Shen Huaijun for a long time, and it is also an opportunity to meet today...... Nobuo Yamazaki introduced Shen Huai to the young man sitting opposite him.

Yasuda Zhicheng also asked County Magistrate Shen to take care of it. Yasuda stood up and said a very Chinese polite word.

Shen Huai had heard of Yasuda Zhicheng for a long time, and knew that he was the main representative of the Yasuda chaebol in China, but he didn't expect that the young man in front of him was Yasuda Zhicheng.

Yasuda Zhi's Mandarin is quite good, and he also dresses like a wealthy young man in China - it can be seen that he has worked in China for two or three years, and the integration is quite good, when Shen Huai went upstairs just now, when he met this kid, he really didn't think that he was a Japanese.

Shen Huai's eyes glanced at the girls next to Yasuda Zhicheng - as a member of the Yasuda chaebol, how beautiful the girls around Yasuda Zhicheng are will not surprise people, they look like they are twenty-two or three, and there is a pure atmosphere on their faces.

Shen Huai nodded at Yasuda Zhicheng and said, "President Yasuda is polite. ”

"It's a rare meeting, and I want to invite County Magistrate Shen to dine together, is it convenient?" asked Yasuda Tomosei.

"It's time for us to do the ......friendship of the landlord" Shen Huai was also annoyed to contact Nobuo Yamazaki and Yasuda Tomokoto in his heart, but Yasuda Tomosei took the initiative to invite, he didn't want to turn his head and go downstairs, and refusing to sit across the table with a cold face would only be more awkward.

Shen Huai and the others hadn't started ordering yet, and Nobuo Yamazaki had already served the food, but they hadn't eaten for long.

Yasuda Zhicheng insisted that the waiter remove all the dishes and drinks that had been transported with chopsticks, and invited Shen Huai, Yang Haipeng, and Chen Tong to their booths.

After sitting down, Shen Huai knew that the girl next to Yasuda Zhicheng was also Japanese, named Shinozakizawa, and her appearance was quite similar to a popular Japanese drama actress, without particularly flamboyant beauty, but giving people a soft feeling that penetrated into the heart and lungs.

Shinozakizawa's Chinese didn't seem to be particularly good, Shen Huai sat down, she glanced at Shen Huai, and talked to Yasuda Tomosei in Japanese: "You said he was a Chinese government official, you ask him, why did the Chinese government tear down this street? Isn't it a pity to do this?"

Yasuda Zhicheng glanced at Shen Huai, smiled inexplicably, and said to Shinozaki: "County Magistrate Shen understands Japanese, you can ask him directly......"

"I'm sorry, I was too presumptuous just now. Shinozakizawa didn't get a prior reminder from Nobuo Yamazaki and Tomosei Yasuda, so he talked to Tomosei Yasuda more casually, and it could be regarded as talking about the rights and wrongs of others behind his back, and he was busy apologizing at this time.

Shen Huai glanced at Nobuo Yamazaki and saw that the look in his eyes was a little uncertain, probably from the old negotiations.

"Miss Shinozaki is polite......" Shen Huai had no intention of talking to Shinozaki about the domestic demolition and land requisition issue, so he simply greeted him and did not continue.

Yasuda Zhicheng didn't let go of Shen Huai easily, and said: "By the way, County Magistrate Shen and Mr. Chen Tong also talked about the demolition of this alley just now. As an outsider, I also feel that you Chinese officials are a little less cherished when dealing with the things handed down by your ancestors......

Although this alley is really going to be demolished, Shen Huai also feels pity, but he doesn't like Yasuda Tomokoto's-for-tat questioning, and he also believes that a rich Japanese lady like Shinozakiyama can't understand what the concept of local financial difficulties is, and said indifferently: "The inheritance of our culture pays attention to an intangible and qualitative one. Necessary historical relics need to be protected, and once there is a conflict with people's livelihood and we need to choose, we will choose to lean towards the latter. There are not a few officials and entrepreneurs in Japan who have such a pragmatic spirit. ”

Shen Huai's answer, of course, was difficult to satisfy Shinozaki, but she no longer took the liberty of speaking at this time.

Yasuda Zhicheng just smiled, handed over the words, just handed them over, and entanglement became unwise.

Shen Huai looked out the window, and his mood was also complicated.

There are unique reasons why Meixi Old Town can be better preserved in his hands and get excellent commercial transformation:

The first is that Meixi has not yet carried out a thorough public housing restructuring at that time, and most of the buildings on both sides of Meixi Old Town are still town-owned assets, which are only rented out to residents in name;

When the old town of Meixi was renovated, the town easily expropriated all the properties along the street, and after the transformation, it was changed to commercial land for sale or rent.

Even though the town did not directly benefit from it, there was no subsidy money to enter it, which greatly improved the surrounding environment, greatly increased commercial tax revenue, and created a large number of jobs.

At present, most of the buildings along the women's market are outdated, and after the reform of public housing, the property rights are scattered to the residents, and the expropriation work has become complicated and cumbersome.

At the same time, the street is fully commercially developed, and since the end of the 80s, there are full shops selling women's clothing, and the rent is getting higher every year, which also means that the cost of collecting buildings along the street is extremely high.

Now, if it is just to repair the old with the old, and the store area has not increased after the renovation, and can not get enough compensation from the increased area, then in addition to the high compensation to the owners and merchants, the city will also have to pay a large amount of repair funds.

The cost of repairing an old brick and wood building is extremely high, even several times higher than that of overturning and rebuilding a small brick and concrete building. How can the city have such a large financial resource to subsidize this?

In the current situation, either this area is locked and not renovated, and in the future, when the local government is rich enough, it does not care about the subsidy of 3.5 billion yuan; if it must be renovated now, then it can only be said that it will be demolished, and it is possible to obtain a large amount of funds for demolition compensation and environmental transformation from the high commercial land transfer money.

As for getting scattered owners to join forces to raise funds to renovate the streets and alleys, it is easy to say, but in practice there is no possibility of implementation.
