"And then?" Ye Kai asked.

After the National Day, Ye Ziping returned to Pearl City, and the father and son had another deep talk.

"Later, everyone quarreled." Ye Ziping replied.

"Hehe, you can imagine." Ye Kai said with a smile.

Since Ye Ziping proposed at the meeting of the Central Political Bureau that Mingzhu City intends to carry out the pilot work of land leasing in some areas, the voices in the conference room have been relatively chaotic.

As a matter of fact, this matter of land leasing has not been done in other places, such as Jiangkou City, but it is a special economic zone, and it is to connect with Hong Kong Island and play the role of a window for foreign exchanges.

However, the geographical location and political influence of Mingzhu City are different from those of Jiangkou City.

What are the consequences if land is leased in Mingzhu City? Everyone's hearts are bottomless.

To be honest, after having the experience of Jiangkou City's development, everyone is actually no stranger to the matter of land leasing, and they all understand that if this matter is done well, it can indeed bring rich capital income to the local government.

If you have money, are you afraid that you won't be able to do big things?

However, if it is purely for money, it is a bit difficult to characterize the matter of "selling land"? In particular, the sale of land is mainly aimed at some foreign enterprises or private enterprises, and it is easy to create the impression that "Pearl City has become a concession again".

If such an effect is produced and then causes a series of troubles, who will bear the consequences?

The answer is simple, no one can afford such consequences.

Therefore, even Ye Ziping said that the pilot work of land leasing was only carried out in some areas, and there was a lot of noise in the Central Political Bureau, and everyone had their own opinions, and they all thought that their opinions were the most correct, and they were at a stalemate for a while.

Comrade Jiang Cheng and Comrade Hong Zheng also had mixed feelings.

In fact, the embarrassment of Mingzhu City, their hearts are the clearest, when the two of them were in charge of Mingzhu, the four words of land leasing are also taboo and can never be mentioned.

Therefore, at that time, it was already a very rare achievement to engage in the vegetable basket project, ensure the people's livelihood, crack down on the people's livelihood, rectify the rule of officials, and then try their best to attract investment for Mingzhu City through their own efforts, and attract foreign technology and capital.

As for this red line of land, it must not be touched, because the time is not right.

Especially after the Nanmen Incident, the domestic political situation was unpredictable, and Comrade Fang He's influence was greatly reduced, so this matter could not be mentioned.

But now, this matter was actually broken out by Ye Ziping at the meeting of the Central Political Bureau, which cannot but be faced.

Both of them know very well that if Pearl City wants to develop, it is impossible to simply attract investment or state support, and the only solution is the land leasing proposed by Ye Ziping, only in this way can it be possible to obtain sufficient funds for the development of Pearl City, and there is no other way.

After all the calculations, only Ye Ziping can put forward this bill, and only Ye Ziping dares to put forward this bill.

"What did you say in the end?" Ye Kai is most concerned about this issue.

"Finally your grandfather spoke." Ye Ziping said.

"Oh?" Ye Kai asked with some surprise, "What did Grandpa say?" ”

Ye Kai's heart is indeed a little surprised, it stands to reason that although Old Man Ye is also relatively open-minded, he has always belonged to the kind of leader who acts more steadily, and he should be opposed to the huge controversial practice of land leasing in his heart.

Even if Ye Ziping was his son, it would be impossible for Old Man Ye to compromise on these issues of principle.

But he didn't expect that Old Man Ye's reaction was actually beyond Ye Kai's expectations.

"Your grandfather said that the pilot should be carried out on a small scale first, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation." Ye Ziping said.

Ye Kai nodded, and said in his heart that Old Man Ye spoke, this issue has a great chance of passing, after all, it is only a pilot work, if Ye Ziping is in charge of the pearl as a member of the Central Political Bureau, and even a partial pilot work has been denied by the central government, it will be a bit too bullying, so that the secretary of the municipal party committee who has no autonomy at all is inappropriate.

"But the old man also said that if anything goes wrong, you will be fully responsible." Ye Ziping then smiled bitterly.

When Old Man Ye said this, it was originally just a pilot work in Mingzhu City, but it became a political game for the second generation of the old Ye family.

"That's a good thing." Ye Kai laughed and looked very happy.

Ye Zi glanced at him and said, "I can't do this matter with a handful of sweat." If the operation is not good and the expected effect cannot be achieved, it will really lose Maicheng. ”

"Why worry about something that you know will succeed?" Ye Kai said disapprehantly, "Actually, the old man's vision is even more far-reaching, on the surface, he just let you take on the power and responsibility, but in fact, this is a rich political wealth, all of which you have monopolized, Dad." Think about it, if this thing is done and done, who else can steal your political achievements? ”

Old Man Ye made Ye Ziping make a military order, if he doesn't succeed, he will become a benevolent, so if this matter is successful, others will indeed not even be qualified to share the profits.

Although it seems that Ye Ziping has taken a huge risk, the benefits of this matter are also extremely rich.

It can be said unceremoniously that Ye Ziping will be able to join the Standing Committee of the Central Committee in the future, it must be because of Old Man Ye's decision today.

"In terms of the overall situation, how far-reaching is the old man's vision?" Ye Kai said to his father, "Even Comrade Fang He and Comrade Chu Feng are very commendable for Grandpa's decision, so why should we doubt it?" ”

Ye Ziping thought about it carefully, it was indeed the same reason, and he couldn't help but nodded.

"However, it is still necessary to plan carefully in which specific areas to carry out the pilot work." Ye Ziping said.

"Dad, do you have some ideas now?" Ye Kai asked.

Ye Ziping nodded, and immediately found the huge map of Pearl City hanging on the wall, and then drew a range on the map with his finger, "This is it, I plan to set up a new district here." ”

Ye Kai took a look, and the range drawn by Ye Ziping included the huge triangular area between the east of the Pujiang River and the mouth of the Yangtze River, bordering Fengxian and Minhang to the south, Xuhui, Huangpu, Hongkou, Yangpu and Baoshan 6 districts to the west, facing each other across the Huangpu River, and Chongming across the Yangtze River to the north.

"It seems that history is always at a critical moment, surprisingly consistent." Ye Kai couldn't help but think.

The scope drawn by Ye Ziping is the Pudong New Area in Ye Kai's memory later.

To say that this place, when Premier Yun inspected Mingzhu City last year, he had already determined the issue of developing the east bank of the Pujiang River, but in the past year, the domestic political situation has changed, and everyone's hearts are not stable, so after saying this, he has not taken care of putting it into practice.

The transfer of Comrade Hong Zheng to the Central Committee also dragged down the process of these matters.

Now that Ye Ziping has finally decided to do a big job, he naturally put this topic back on the agenda.

"My idea is to plan this place as a new district at the sub-provincial level, take the lead in implementing the land leasing policy, and hope to attract enough funds to promote the urban construction of Damingzhu City." Ye Ziping said.

"Okay." Ye Kai only said one word, but Ye Ziping felt a little surprised.

When did my son learn to cherish words like gold?

Speaking of which, the east of the Pujiang River is not a good place, in the whole eighties, it is still relatively desolate, "I would rather have a bed in Puxi, not a room in Pudong" is the consensus of the Pearl people at that time.

It can be said that Pujiang divides the Pearl City into two worlds, Puxi is the pearl, and Pudong is just a farmland and vegetable field overlooking the Bund.

Just like Jiangkou City, which was originally a small remote fishing village as a special zone, Pearl City naturally starts with a relatively desolate place to develop and open up, one is to have less impact on the general public, and the other is also to borrow foreign funds to create a new world.

In fact, as early as more than ten years ago, the issue of developing Mingzhu City had been raised, and the party newspaper of Mingzhu City had published an article on the front page to raise this issue.

At that time, Mingzhu City accounted for more than one-eighth of the country's total industrial output value and ranked first in the country; The total export output value accounts for more than a quarter of the country, of which the city's products account for 60%, earning more foreign exchange, ranking first in the country; Fiscal revenue accounts for one-sixth of the country's total revenue, and the state tax profits account for one-third of the central government's expenditure, ranking first in the country.

However, Pearl City has the largest urban population density, with the lowest per capita road area and the highest proportion of households lacking housing.

At that time, this report caused a strong response in the Pearl City, and the calls for the transformation and revitalization of the Pearl were getting higher and higher. In order to find a new direction of development, since more than ten years ago, Mingzhu has carried out in-depth research in three different directions: eastward (Pudong), southward (southern with Jinshan Petrochemical as the core), and northward (Jiangwan, Wusong and Baoshan).

Later, everyone's thinking began to focus on the eastward expansion, and the development of Pudong became a major consensus.

"My opinion is very clear, the establishment of a sub-provincial Pudong New Area, and the comprehensive opening up." Ye Ziping waved his hand and said, "The secretary of the district party committee and the head of the district are at the deputy provincial level, and the secretary of the district party committee is a member of the standing committee of the municipal party committee." ”

When Ye Kai heard this, he said a little worriedly, "It is estimated that the possibility of approval is relatively small, after all, this place is still a vegetable field now, even if it can be developed in the future, it will be a matter of the future, and now the central government will definitely not agree to directly establish a sub-provincial development zone." ”

"It's one thing to approve or not, and it's another thing to mention it or not." Ye Ziping said with a smile.

Ye Kai pondered, and immediately smiled, after all, there is a leader, everyone's enthusiasm can be mobilized, if you know that Pudong New Area may be upgraded to a sub-provincial development zone, then the cadres in the district must be very enthusiastic.
