Chapter 251: Running errands
After talking to Zhu Li about the construction design plan of Zhuyuan, Shen Huai talked to him about the design of the Xinmei Xincun Community Commercial Street.
In the early days, everyone tended to agree on a plan that built shops on both sides of Zhuxi Avenue for sale, so that more construction funds could be recovered, but this plan was directly vetoed by Shen Huai.
Meixi Town has a population of 50,000 and an average annual income of only 1,000 yuan. There are quite a lot of farmers and residents who can only wait until the New Year's festival to dare to open their stomachs and eat a meal of meat.
How to make more people employable and how to increase the income of more people is a problem that Shen Huai is urgently considering and solving.
If you want to have something, you have to give something, and there is no perfect good thing in the world.
Meigang's current front-line workers, if they want to earn more than 1,000 yuan a month, have to work almost 60 hours a week, and the overall work intensity is almost twice as high as that of blue-collar workers in some developed countries in Europe and the United States.
To develop industry, to accommodate more people to be able to work near home, increase income, Meigang to accumulate more development funds, Shen Huai now has no plan to give Meigang strict but costly environmental protection measures, and even can not immediately shut down the most serious smoke and exhaust pollution of Meixi Town's old factory, but it does not mean that Shen Huai does not have a clear expectation for the future of Meixi Town.
Others don't understand his feelings for Meixi Town, but Shen Huai knows what he wants to build Meixi Town into in the end, even if it can't satisfy everyone, he must let most of the residents live in it leisurely.
On both sides of Zhuxi Avenue, that is, on the south side of the Zhuyuan site and on the north side of Xinmei New Village, the construction of a large number of shops for sale will indeed help to recoup more funds.
However, in Shen Huai's planning, Zhuxi Avenue will be the traffic artery connecting Meixi Town and the urban area for a long time, ensuring the smooth flow of traffic and ensuring traffic efficiency, which is more important than building dozens of shops for sale.
And at this time, most of the people in Meixi Town are not rich, and they can even be said to be poor, and the business environment and atmosphere are very immature.
In Shen Huai's view, the development of commerce must depend on the prosperity of the real economy, and the vitality can be truly strong.
Instead of developing uneven and dirty low-end businesses on Zhuxi Avenue, the main road of Meixi Town in the future, so that the façade of Meixi Town looks bad, it is better to vacate dozens of meters on both sides to build a landscape belt, and create the first garden-style façade of Meixi Town.
Only in this way can the Nagisa Garden built in the future be more in line with the standards of high-end residential areas.
However, Xinmei New Village, as the first large-scale residential project in Meixi Town, has nearly 600 families moving in in the first phase, and 12 buildings in the second phase have also been built, with the same scale of about 600 households. Including the third and fourth phases of the plan, Xinmei New Village will eventually be built into a large and medium-sized community that can accommodate 2,400 families.
If there are no shops on both sides of the Zhuxi Highway, and there is no low-grade commercial development space with poor quality and easy to make the environment dirty, then some supporting living and commercial facilities need to be built in the community to meet the daily needs of community residents.
The current plan is to build a 3,500-meter-long community commercial street between the second phase of Xinmei New Village and the third phase of the construction group, and the construction should be started before the third phase of the building complex to ensure that it can be completed and put into use at the same time as the second phase of the project.
Under Shen Huai's critical eye, this plan has also been revised several times.
I can't blame Zhu Li's architectural designers for not doing their best, not everyone has advanced vision and foresight. They still positioned Meixi Town at the level of ordinary townships, and the style originally designed for the Xinmei Xincun community commercial street was narrow and low-end.
Xinmei New Village, in the future, the employees of Meigang Group will be the main force of residence.
Of the nearly 600 suites built in the first phase, almost half of them were workers of Meigang, which was also the fundamental reason why Shen Huai could not move in at the same time as Chen Dan.
Now the front-line employees of Meigang are very hard, working 60 hours a week, and the monthly income may exceed 1,000 yuan, but this level has far exceeded the average wage earner in Donghua City.
At present, the average monthly income of front-line workers in the city steel mill is only 300 yuan, which is also the key reason why the capable employees of the city steel mill can lose their status as state-owned enterprise workers, constantly stop the groove, and endure the strict management of Meigang. Even the staff of some surrounding towns and government agencies gave up their status as state cadres and came to Meigang to apply for jobs.
In the future, Meigang employees may account for more than half of the residents of Xinmei New Village.
It may take some time for the living standard of the entire Meixi Town to improve, but the residents of Xinmei New Village will undoubtedly be ahead of the curve as a whole. When planning for the living and commercial facilities of Xinmei New Village, the positioning should not be low-end, and even higher than the street commerce in the urban area - this is also the reason why Shen Huai has repeatedly asked Zhujiang Construction to improve the design.
"Considering the financial problem, it seems that the commercial street can only be designed this way," Zhu Li said, "and the key is how to run it." I pulled Lao Chu and Yang Haipeng to discuss the past, and the commercial street that has been built now can't be sold at a good price, so we simply operate it ourselves and rent it out to merchants. ”
At present, in the city, the price of the shops in the neighborhoods is about three or four thousand yuan per square meter. Usually, the price of shops along the street in towns and villages is 2,000 yuan per square meter, and if you want to go higher, you must have an actual return on investment.
The consumption potential of residents in Xinmei New Village will not be worse than that of the community in the city in the future, the commercial capacity is also high, and the investment value will not be lower than that of the community shops in the city, but there is no way to show the actual results in front of this and share it with others to see. Therefore, after the completion of the community commercial street in Xinmei New Village, it will be sold at the price of the shops in the city, and others will only think that Zhujiang Construction is crazy and wants to make money.
If you don't want to sell the shops in the community commercial street of Xinmei New Village cheaply, you can only set up a commercial company under Zhujiang Construction to be responsible for the operation of the commercial street, and gradually build up the community business, and make the rent that is, the return on investment higher, and then it will be more advantageous whether it is mortgaged to the bank or divided and sold.
Shen Huai nodded and said: "Yes, Lao Zhu, you have a long-term development vision now, come out, absolutely no one dares to underestimate you are township entrepreneurs......
In this world, people who can have extraordinary vision for twenty years or even longer are always rare, and Shen Huai doesn't think that he can see further, but he believes that a capable person and a visionary person should at least have a specific imagination of the situation in three or five years - this is also one of Shen Huai's criteria for distinguishing a person from being capable or not.
Although Meixi Town is very small, it has a population of more than 50,000, and even if it is one in a million, there should be three or five talents with both vision and courage. People like Zhu Li and Chu Yiliang, who have already been affirmed by a certain amount of society, are naturally above the level in terms of ability and vision.
There is a shortage of people in China, that is, there is no shortage of talents.
Take Donghua as an example, with a population of more than 7 million, there are six or seven hundred candidates to select talents with the strict requirements of choosing one in ten thousand. It's just that there is a lack of fairly fair space and platform for these people to show their talents.
On the contrary, due to various social factors, the key positions that can determine whether a social group develops forward or retreats are more occupied by people with mediocre ability, short-sightedness, and fear of competing with talented people, and this is also a problem to be solved by the reform.
Overall, Shen Huai is quite satisfied with Zhu Li, Chu Yiliang, Yang Haipeng and others.
Listening to Shen Huai's praise, Zhu Li was also a little embarrassed, and said: "Follow Shen Ji every day, if you don't have a long-term vision, it will really smear Shen Ji's face......"
Zhu Li is not a lie.
A year ago, who would have thought that Meixi Town would have today's development prospects? Shen Huai used a year to almost set up the future development framework of Meixi Town, if under this big framework, we could not see the development potential of Meixi Town in the next three to five years, it can only be said that we are too short-sighted.
************
Shen Huai spent two hours in the office pestering Zhu Li to see the Zhuyuan Garden and the social commercial street plan, drove Zhu Li away, and rushed to the production line to take a look while there was still some time before eating.
Walking to the continuous casting section of electric furnace steel, seeing that Hu Zhigang was explaining the continuous casting process to the newly recruited college students, Shen Huai nodded to Hu Zhigang, and did not speak, so he leaned over to listen to him give a live lecture to the college students.
In the early stage, Meigang mainly relied on digging the wall foot of the city steel mill to enhance the technical force, but the city steel mill itself has great limitations, and Meigang will further develop after that, in addition to recruiting technical and management talents in a larger range, it also needs to strengthen its own training.
This year, Meigang recruited 20 fresh graduates from Huaihai University of Technology and other institutions of higher learning in the province.
Shen Huai was extra busy during this time, and he couldn't take into account the specific operation management. It has been seven or eight days since this group of college students officially entered the factory to report, and Shen Huai has not been able to find time to make formal contact with them.
Meigang also followed the established process, first let this group of college students start from basic safety training, and today has just carried out the process learning stage.
Hu Zhigang is now the deputy director of the second production department, responsible for the post-production section of the electric furnace steel production line. To cultivate new technical forces, Shen Huai asked the management to personally grasp the cultivation of new technical forces, so that they could tap talents for key training; Hu Zhigang and others naturally could not escape.
Hu Zhigang followed the established process and explained the craft to this group of college students, which was very thorough. Shen Huai stood aside, feeling that there was still room for improvement in the whole process, and asked a male student standing next to him, "Have you ever seen Xu Xiting Xugong?"
"I recognize that he is responsible for our training in the factory. The male student glanced at Shen Huai, not knowing what he meant by suddenly talking to him.
"That's good. XCMG is in the second section at this time, you run over and help me call him over. Shen Huai commanded.
The male student saw that Shen Huai was wearing overalls, and he looked younger than them, and he was a little unwilling to give support, so he went back directly: "We have studied professional technology in college for four years, and we have entered the factory to do technology and management, and we are not here ......to run errands."
As soon as the male student said this, Shen Huai was also a little confused, and looked at the badge on his chest: Guo Chengfeng, the temporary process number is still relatively high, and it should be the target of the graduation of a famous school......
