Zhao Guodong was quite satisfied with Xu Qiao's performance, of course he also knew that it was difficult to really convince the gang with just a few words, but at least Xu Qiao instilled a new concept in them, so that they roughly understood what kind of path Huaiqing urban development would take.

Xu Qiao is eloquent, quick-witted, and there are not so many stale constraints in his brain, but after being persuaded by himself, he is more active than himself, Zhao Guodong even feels that this female deputy mayor of the ** party is broader in thinking and far-sighted than other leaders at a higher level, and her ability to accept new things is much stronger.

Lu Qiuchen's view is actually a view of most of the people in the city, who are constrained by reality and lack a long-term vision, of course, they can't be blamed completely, no one knows how fast China's urbanization process will be in the next decade, and Huaiqing's urban construction will have a earth-shaking change.

Zhao Guodong knows all this, since he has sat in this position, he can't let Huaiqing go with the flow like other cities, he wants to change Huaiqing's urban positioning, from economic development to urban planning, he has to do his best to make Huaiqing higher.

As long as you sit in the position of Huaiqing, you will have to do your job for as long as you want, and at least lay a foundation for the future development of Huaiqing and determine a goal and plan.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I see that you may have a lot of questions about this planning map, and also have some of your own ideas and opinions, which are normal, I think it is better to ask Mayor Xu to introduce the overall plan first, and then ask Mayor Xu to give you an overview of the purpose or leading idea of our Huaiqing City urban construction, so that everyone has such a concept in mind, and then put forward opinions in combination with their own views and views, if you feel immature today, you can also go back to brewing, When it's mature, you can bring it up at the next office meeting, what do you think? ”

Zhao Guodong's words made the deputy mayors nod their heads and say yes, so they listened to it in a hurry, and they really couldn't express any opinions, and they couldn't help but pay attention to the development trend of the city in the next few years or even ten years.

Xu Qiao was not polite, and introduced the entire plan along the planning map, especially the large-scale expansion of Huaiqing City to the west, which made a group of deputy mayors feel moved.

"Mayor Xu, according to your plan, the urbanization process of our Huaiqing City must be quite fast, can you know the development trend of the population in our urban area?" Xu Luping also couldn't help frowning and asked.

"We predict that by the end of 2002, the population of our urban areas may reach 400,000, by the end of 2007 it is estimated that it will reach between 650,000 and 700,000, and by the end of 2012, the population will reach about 1 million." Xu Qiao smiled indifferently, "Our goal is to build Huaiqing into a big city with a population of one million. ”

As soon as Xu Qiao's words came out, everyone was immediately shocked.

Deng Ruoxian first expressed his worries, "Mayor Xu, a large city with a population of one million is not something that can be done alone, nor is it as simple as transforming the agricultural population into an urban population, which requires the development of a huge secondary and tertiary industry to support, otherwise they will not be able to provide them with so many employment opportunities, this is empty talk!" Our current urban population is only 300,000, and it has quadrupled in 12 years, and I doubt we can do that. ”

"Yes, Mayor Deng's worries are very reasonable, although the population of Huaizhou and Gyeongju is more than 1.2 million, but the vast majority of them are agricultural population, Huaizhou's urban population is only 250,000, and Gyeongju's urban population is only 50,000, of which the five major factory workers and their families account for a considerable proportion, according to Mayor Xu's vision, the urban population will increase by 700,000 within 12 years, that is to say, about 80% of the current 900,000 agricultural population will be urbanized, is this possible?" Xu Luping shook his head again and again, feeling unimaginable.

"With the acceleration of urbanization, I think the urbanization of the agricultural population in the suburbs of Huaiqing is an inevitable process, and even this process will be quite fast, beyond our current expectations, which can be seen from the changes in recent years." Xu Qiao didn't mind his colleagues questioning, he was not also skeptical at first, but he was finally persuaded by the sufficient information prepared by Zhao Guodong.

"It turns out that Bailian Township, Dahu Township, and Lotus Pond Township in the northern suburbs of Huaizhou District were originally pure agricultural townships five years ago, but now, Bailian Township has disappeared and been completely annexed by the development zone, and more than half of Dahu Township and Lotus Pond Township are also occupied by the development zone, and look at this posture, the more remote Mazhuang Township and Jiming Township may gradually be included, which is enough to prove that with the acceleration of industrialization, the urbanization process will be faster."

With the further deepening of reform and opening up, the trend of China's accession to the WTO is unstoppable, and the trend of China increasingly becoming the central base of the world's manufacturing industry will be more obvious, and the central and western regions with abundant labor resources will also usher in a rare historical development opportunity, and the large-scale development of the western region promoted by the central government will further catalyze the acceleration of this process."

"We Huaiqing has a strong machinery and equipment manufacturing industry base, and now the electronics industry is gradually rising in our city, absorbing more rural surplus labor and foreign talents into our city is also a necessary way, which will also be the basis of our Huaiqing City's economic development, and to provide them with a good environment, suitable conditions for a livable city, our municipal government is duty-bound."

Deng Ruoxian admits that there is some truth in Xu Qiao's rhetoric, but it is obviously a bit far-fetched to support that Huaiqing will develop into a large city with a population of one million, but he does not intend to continue arguing on this issue, after all, this is also a long-term process, and in ten years, no one here can say where it will be at that time.

"Mayor Xu, the outlook is very good, it is a good thing to be far-sighted, but it must also be realistic, to promote the development of urbanization on such a scale, the financial funds required must be astronomical, even if it is divided into gradual investment over the years, but for our Huaiqing finance, I am afraid it is also an unbearable burden, right?" Gu Xiaopeng couldn't help but interject.

Other people, including Lu Qiuchen, were in high spirits, and felt that Gu Xiaopeng, the director of the Finance Bureau, was to the point when he asked questions, saying a thousand things and ten thousand, in the final analysis, it still has to be said that there are funds to support it, can Huaiqing finance support it? Gu Xiaopeng's questioning means that he, the director of the financial bureau, is not optimistic about this plan.

"Although Huaiqing's finance, especially the budget revenue, has increased greatly this year, it must be a drop in the bucket to support the advanced development of urban construction, and I also think that Huaiqing's finance needs to consider other aspects that need more funds, so I think we can not rely on financial investment to promote urban construction, but more need to use the hand of the market to pull."

Xu Qiao's words made Deng Ruoxian silent, Gu Xiaopeng was thoughtful, and the others were confused.

The hand of the market, what does it mean?

Deng Ruoxian knew that Zhao Guodong had always been dissatisfied with the development of Huaiqing City Development and Construction Co., Ltd., and believed that the Urban Development Division could play a more important and obvious role in the construction of Huaiqing City.

Gu Xiaopeng heard a clue from Xu Qiao's budget income just now.

The large growth of budgetary revenue still cannot support urban construction, which means that the extra-budgetary income may change, and the proportion of land transfer income in the extra-budgetary income has been increasing since last year, and the proportion of this year's increase is even faster, and the real estate market is heating up, which has made land revenue the most important part of the extra-budgetary income.

As Gu Xiaopeng, who is well versed in finance and taxation work, vaguely guessed that Xu Qiao's market hand also refers to the use of urban planning and construction to promote the value-added of land development before the transfer, that is to say, to rely on urban development to promote the increase of land to finally achieve a substantial increase in land transfer fees, and then use the income from land transfer funds to support larger-scale urban development and construction to achieve a cycle, no wonder Xu Qiao will suddenly take such a big step forward in urban planning.

This is a good idea, but there is a key question that needs to be clarified, that is, the prerequisite for this circular development is that the land can be transferred at a satisfactory price.

Deng Ruoxian and Gu Xiaopeng are aware of Zhao Guodong and Xu Qiao's intentions, but there are still many specific problems in this, not that you can succeed in two simple sentences, but the two of them also admit that this method is an operable method that can be tried, but it remains to be seen how effective it is.

Zhao Guodong was paying attention to the expressions of several deputy mayors, Deng Ruoxian and Gu Xiaopeng both showed thoughtful expressions on their faces, which meant that these two people had realized their intentions and Xu Qiao's intentions, while the other deputy mayors had obviously not yet realized it, especially Lu Qiuchen and Xu Luping, who shook their heads again and again, with a disapproving expression, probably thinking that Xu Qiao was playing some gimmick again.

Although Qian Yuanhui, Li Changjiang and An Ran were still a little confused, they still maintained a look of patient listening on their faces, and it seemed that they also wanted to really hear what tricks Xu Qiao had.

From this point alone, it can be seen that several deputy mayors have insight and vision in this regard, as well as their attitude towards themselves, see the subtle knowledge, Zhao Guodong has always thought so, Deng Ruoxian and Gu Xiaopeng have either been in charge of urban construction, or are good at finance, and it is not surprising that they can perceive it, although Qian, Li, and An do not know much about this aspect of operation, but out of support for themselves, they still listen patiently, and Lu and Xu are obviously not interested in Xu Qiao, that is, their own ideas, and they can even be said to be not very interested in serving as the mayor.
