Chapter 152: The Pain of Demolition
Throughout the 90s, the infringement and deprivation of citizens' interests were also more serious in the problem of barbaric urban demolition.
The guiding ideology of the old city renovation in the 80s was "demolition and relocation, and the houses were relocated." After the demolition of the demolished people, they would be given their houses, and the housing conditions would be improved.
In the 90s, the "Shanghai model" was used as a reference across the country, and Shanghai renovated the old city of Puxi, using the method of complete demolition and new construction in other places, demolishing the old houses in the city center, building high-end office buildings and commercial real estate, and building new residential communities outside the city center to resettle the demolished citizens.
The Shanghai model belongs to the "new city building" model, which was advocated by the state at that time, and various places have borrowed this model, which is very convenient for the approval of the state. However, throughout the 90s, no city had the financial strength of Shanghai, and after the demolition of the old city, there was still capacity building to build a new city to resettle the demolished citizens, often "demolishing but not building", and changing the benign model of "housing relocation" to "monetary demolition".
Since the "monetary demolition" was promoted as a "good experience" to replace the "house relocation" in the 90s, the public has been afraid of demolition. Because the little money given for demolition is far from the ratio of housing prices. In particular, the leaders of some cities are about to go crazy when they want to "attract investment," and in their eyes those businessmen and capitalists have become saviors and gods of wealth who can enable themselves to obtain political achievements and personal gains, and some leaders even say to their subordinates in a threatening tone: "I will ask whoever scares away a foreign businessman," "Whoever cannot get along with the government, the government will not get along with whom," and so on. Therefore, as long as the former fancy a place, the latter acts as a pawn - using their power to force the inhabitants of the place to demolish. More than 10 years later, most of the demolition companies were privately owned, and the demolition situation was improved, and the demolition companies in the nineties were all state-owned, which meant that they could take a large number of administrative means to force demolition without restrictions, which made the citizens even worse. The brutal demolition made the real estate developers smile, and the demolished people complained bitterly. Even if most people buy houses after demolition, they are forced to be helpless, build high debts, and live a life of living in high-rise buildings and drinking gruel, while some leaders use this as a political achievement to boast and whitewash the peace.
The demolition of the old city model of Sha Tin is inevitable, and it is impossible for the city to build a residential community in Sha Tin, a commercial treasure land, to resettle the demolished citizens, and there is no plan to build a new community in other places to resettle the demolished citizens, and in the end it is only possible to adopt the mode of monetary demolition, and the real estate market in Haizhou before the 2,000 years ago could not accommodate the huge scale of demolition of tens of thousands of households (mainly because the demolition cost was very low, and the economic conditions of the demolished citizens in the 90s were generally poor, which was not enough to form a large real estate market, In order to alleviate the conflict, demolition and relocation companies have built a large number of low-quality resettlement houses without property rights in the urban-rural areas far from the urban areas, driving most of the citizens who cannot afford to buy houses in the urban areas there.
Tang Xueqian will not be able to resist the temptation to build a new city, in the nineties, the achievements of officials are rarely equated with the interests of citizens, even Tang Xueqian is no exception.
Zhang Ke has always believed that there is no such thing as "it is okay to sacrifice the interests of a small number of people" in urban construction, but it is not the turn of state officials to sacrifice interests, so the idea that "it is okay to sacrifice a small number of interests for the sake of the overall situation" has the upper hand in the city, and they will never feel the pain.
Zhang Ke sat opposite Tang Xueqian, thinking that Tang Xueqian would never feel the pain of being expelled again! Zhang Ke is painful, his father resigned from the public office and returned to the teacher's college, the teacher's institute did not arrange a place to live again, at that time there were some savings, he bought a private house in Shatin, ninety-seven years to catch up with the old city transformation, fortunately the uncle helped, if not, and then catch up with the father to be expelled from the teacher's college, I don't know what kind of miserable situation the family will have.
After all, I lived in Sha Tin for two years, although it was short, but I had an understanding of the situation of the people who were demolished around me, especially in the fact that at that time, a large number of employees of state-owned enterprises were laid off, and some families were in a dilemma.
This is not only a matter of protecting the old city, since Haizhou City is built beautifully, it cannot be at the cost of the pain of demolition and relocation borne by tens of thousands of citizens, since Tang Xueqian wants to try, Zhang Ke wants to drag him back.
Tang Xueqian didn't know what Zhang Ke was thinking in his heart, Zhang Ke's words made him quite moved,
The success of Sifengqiao Food Plaza has extended the prosperity of Qianmen to the front of Sifengqiao, especially the high land rent of Sifengqiao Food Square has attracted great attention from the city, and the valuable land is not only limited to Qianmen, but also allows Tang Xueqian to see the hope of quickly promoting the rapid transformation of Sha Tin Old Town.
Even a wise man like Tang Xueqian can't imagine the complexity of the situation.
In the 90s, Haizhou City's demolition companies were all state-owned, and Zhang Ke still remembers that the competent unit of a demolition company was actually the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau, that is, this demolition company did not hesitate to demolish a large number of buildings that were originally municipal cultural relics protection units. The city's allocation of demolition and relocation expenses to the demolished people was insufficient, but a large amount of it was withheld by these state-owned demolition companies. At that time, the profits of the state-owned demolition companies were beyond the reach of the private demolition companies today.
Huge profits were held up in state-owned demolition companies and then diverted elsewhere through a variety of investment means.
Can Tang Xueqian break the tradition of the entire Haizhou bureaucracy and change this fact at once?
Zhang Ke thought to himself: Enough!
Of course, with this, it is impossible to dissuade Tang Xueqian from temporarily slowing down the transformation of the old city of Shatin, after all, not only Tang Xueqian, but other people in the city only see the benefits of the old city transformation, but do not see the drawbacks, let alone admit that the city has no ability to prevent these drawbacks from happening for the time being.
As long as Xu Hongbo does not break it, Tang Xueqian will not be able to see anything in the future, after all, no one would have thought that Zhang Ke would be able to clearly predict the development of the next few years.
Besides, Zhang Ke did this to give Tang Xueqian a chance to remedy it in the future, so that he would not regret it for life.
No matter what the considerations, the success of Sifeng Bridge can easily lead the city's thinking into the trap set by Zhang Ke. The city is short of money, but the value of land in the central area is eye-catching, and the rumors of the renovation of the old town of Sha Tin are surging, which is catering to the minds of these people, and how much money will be able to be obtained by taking out the entire Sha Tin for renovation?
As early as March, the Municipal Standing Committee passed a resolution to stop the administrative act of allocating land without compensation, and the allocation of large parcels of land in the four urban districts needs to be approved by the Standing Committee meeting. This is Zhou Fuming's intention to strengthen his control, but it is also a reflection of the importance of land value.
Even if Tang Xueqian wants to slow down, it is impossible for him to slow down, and there are even voices in the city to demolish Sha Tin at one time, and the support of this voice is not small, just like the call for the start of the dredging project of the Dredging River a year ago, which involves the interests of all parties.
Against this backdrop, Zhang Ke's proposal seemed to Tang Xueqian to be a safe approach, and although he preferred to gradually move eastward from the area near Sha Tin, the mayor's opinion was sometimes weak.
Make a plan for the overall demolition of Sha Tin, include Sha Tin West in the first batch of overall demolition plans, and take a piece of land in Sha Tin Market to test the popularity of the market.
It was the way this land was launched, and the city got a lot of opinions.
Tang Xueqian hoped to imitate the new model of some cities in engaging in bidding and selling for nothing, and in the end, the opinion formed by the Standing Committee of the Municipal Standing Committee was to adopt the traditional method of allocation, which could be compared internally, and the final decision was made by the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Standing Committee. This is just the result of the wrestling of stakeholders, and it is not surprising to Zhang Ke.
The frenzy of Sifeng Bridge has made many people unaware of the risks of Sha Tin incense bait, and no one will seriously consider whether the scale of commercial capital in Haizhou City has the ability to fully absorb the 100 hectares of commercial land in the west of Sha Tin at one time.
Including Zhang Zhifei's Hongyuan Company, Shao Zhigang, etc., they all came to Zhang Ke to discuss this matter, Zhang Ke remained quiet, with their strength, they could not let the city rest assured that the land would be handed over to them as a test field, including the later development, and the city would like to introduce outside capital.
In short, they want to work hard and go with them, and it is not the two of them who are excited, but the fastest action is still Jincheng Group, Jincheng Group took the most suitable strategy at that time, they found Singapore Xincheng Real Estate Group, which has always had a cooperative relationship with Jincheng Group, and the two companies joined forces to take the land, which is very in line with the city's idea of attracting investment, but requiring the city to give preferential treatment on land transfer costs.
The swiftness of Jincheng Group's actions made Zhang Ke suspect that they had been eyeing Shatin for a long time, and he couldn't help but think: Wanjia compromised with Zhou Fuming, could it be that Zhao Jinrong made peace in the middle?
When Zhang Ke saw the foreign investment ratio of Jincheng Real Estate Company jointly established by Jincheng and Xincheng Real Estate, it was almost certain that this was a certain amount, and Jincheng Real Estate was only in the name of a joint venture, which was actually Zhao Jinrong's own one-third of an acre.
