Xia Xiang was named by Mayor Chen in public in front of everyone, so he had to come to the stage and glanced at Cao Yongguo. Cao Yongguo had no expression on his face, but there was encouragement in his eyes.

Xia Xiang was stunned, smiled shyly, and said, "If Mayor Chen wants me to say it, I'll just say it, don't blame me for saying it, it's not that I have to say it." ”

Everyone laughed in a word, Xia Xiang was very tricky and kicked the ball to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng waved his hand generously: "If you say it right, you will be rewarded, and if you say it wrong, you will not be punished." Be bold, don't be a mother-in-law, young man, come out with a little courage. ”

Xia Xiang muttered in a low voice: "I was very courageous, but compared with Mayor Chen, I was compared to ......

The atmosphere has become much more relaxed from the-for-tat just now, Chen Feng understands that Xia Xiang's words just now are to ease the atmosphere first, and he really can't underestimate him at all, looking at his nervous and restrained appearance just now, it seems that he is quite flustered and scared, in fact, he knows in his heart, he is deliberately showing weakness, so that everyone can relax their psychological defense.

Chen Feng looked at Xia Xiang with interest, and his opinion of him was even more full of expectations.

"The topography of Yan City is high in the west and low in the east, and the Taihang Mountain is in the west, and the fresh air blowing from the mountains must first pass through the west of Yan City, and then go to the east. Therefore, those citizens who live in Qiaodong and think that they are superior to Qiaoxi, what they don't know is that what they breathe every day is the air left over after the people of Qiaoxi have used it, so from the perspective of health, Qiaoxi is the preferred place to live. Xia Xiang's opening remarks made everyone present a little confused, not to talk about the transformation of Xili Village, how to talk about the air problem, just when everyone was puzzled, Xia Xiang continued, "This remaining air not only contains more dust and impurities, but also includes many other exhaust gases, which one is specific, there is no need to explain ......"

The crowd burst into laughter.

"Yan City is a new city, the greening is not done well, there is no shade on the street in the summer, the city can not even find more than ten years of big trees, the humanistic spirit is too backward. So the municipal axe thought of a way to dig the people's river. It is a pity that the Baimin River did not become the lungs of Yan City, but became the mosquito manufacturing base of Yan City. Experts and scholars here should also know that an artificial river no more than a dozen meters wide can play a limited role in improving air quality, and according to my optimistic estimates, it may not be as great as dozens of acres of forest to improve air quality. ”

dared to accuse the people of being useless in front of Chen Feng, so he almost said that it was a face-saving project that cost the people and money, and Xia Xiang was the first person in Yan City. The People's River was not built by Chen Feng, but he is the mayor after all, and Xia Xiang's statement is equivalent to counting him down in person. However, Chen Feng still had a shallow smile on his face, as if Xia wanted to talk about someone else.

Xia thought very clearly, Chen Feng was also very disgusted with the people's river, thinking that it was completely the product of a hot mind, he said that the people's river was useless, and he was in the temper of Chen Feng.

Some of the experts present have also studied and demonstrated the people's river, and nodded in agreement with Xia Xiang's statement.

"Since the Baimin River has not become the lungs of Yan City, then Yan City still needs to have a lung. Under the leadership of Mayor Chen, most of the urban villages that restrict the development of the city have also been renovated, not only many new residential areas have been built, but also a large number of commercial and residential buildings, as well as wholesale markets, it can be said that a new image of Yan City will not be long before we are presented. Xia Xiang did not forget to put on a high hat for Chen Feng, he did admire Chen Feng's pioneering spirit, which laid a solid foundation for the long-term development of Yan City, and then changed the topic, "However, after the transformation of urban villages, it will face new problems, that is, the pace of expansion of Yan City is getting bigger and bigger, many large enterprises and factories located in the suburbs are now surrounded in the city, such as steel mills, pharmaceutical factories and other large enterprises, although the benefits are good, but the pollution caused to the environment is also quite serious, according to the experience of other cities, Pharmaceutical factories and steel mills will definitely move out of the city......"

As soon as the last sentence was spoken, the experts present exclaimed in unison, and then whispered to each other.

The developers also frowned, obviously they didn't think about it for so long, they didn't expect that the pharmaceutical factory and the steel factory would move out of the city one day!

Only Chen Feng and Cao Yongguo glanced at each other, and both of them showed knowing smiles.

An old man with silver hair in the expert table spoke: "Young man, you have a long-term vision and a good analysis, continue to speak. ”

Chen Feng also nodded and said, "Then let's talk about it, where are the lungs of Yan City?" ”

Xia Xiang smiled and nodded to the expert, and then answered Chen Feng's question head-on: "The lungs of Yan City are in Xili Village!" ”

The developers suddenly let out a noise, and they all raised their hands to speak, Chen Feng signaled them to be quiet, and signaled to Chao Xia: "Keep talking." ”

"The fresh air coming down from the mountains passes through the village of Xili, that is, through the pharmaceutical factory and the steel factory. I think the residents near the pharmaceutical factories and steel mills will know how bad the smell of the pharmaceutical factories and steel mills is, and if the northwest wind blows, every household does not dare to open their windows, and when the wind blows, the pungent smell can even drift all the way to a kilometer away. A little farther away, although the unpleasant smell in the air can no longer be smelled in the east of the bridge, in fact, the pollutants in the air are still there, that is to say, the pharmaceutical factory and the steel mill are located in the tuyere of Yanshi, and their air pollution actually makes all Yanshi people suffer from it. ”

There was a lot of discussion in the venue.

"Xili Village is located between the pharmaceutical factory and the steel factory, and if a forest park is built here, it can be used as the lungs of Yan City, providing a natural place for the people of Yan City to clean the air. Even if the pharmaceutical and steel factories were to move out of the city, it would not be possible to complete them in three or five years. After the completion of the forest park, within three to five years, countless air can be purified and healthy and fresh air can be brought to the people of Yan City! ”

As soon as Xia Xiang's words fell, the silver-haired old man took the lead in applauding: "Young people have a sincere heart for the people and the public, which is worthy of admiration. ”

A developer of five big and three rough immediately said angrily: "Develop a forest park? Make no mistake, right? Wouldn't it be a waste if you don't build a building to sell such a good location, but if you want to plant trees? The idea doesn't work, it's nonsense. ”

Several other developers immediately chimed in and quarreled.

The silver-haired old man on the other side had a different opinion: "The development of the city cannot be premised on sacrificing the health of the people. After the transformation of urban villages, not all of them are built into houses. If the downtown area is full of commercial housing, everyone lives together, there are no parks, no shopping malls, no green spaces, isn't it no different from an ant's nest? I agree with Comrade Xiao Xia's opinion. ”

"Who is going to build the forest park? Who will maintain it? Not only is the construction cost huge, but the annual maintenance cost is also staggering, unless the municipal axe is determined to ask for financial allocation......" one developer gloated, "financial allocation, it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars, it is difficult." ”

It is not a secret that the municipal axe is financially strained, which is why it is said that it is a matter of circumstance.

Chen Feng also asked Xia Xiang with interest: "Yes, Xiao Xia, the political axe is short of money, if you want to build a forest park, not only will you not be able to collect the developer's land transfer fees, but you will also have to invest a lot of money in it, this in and out may have a billion, what do you say?" ”

Xia Xiang glanced at Chen Feng's seemingly sincere but cunning face, thinking that you are the mayor, but you came to ask me what to do, didn't you mean to be angry? What to do and how to trouble is a headache for your mayor, not a question that a small deputy director should think about.

However, when the mayor asked him in public, he couldn't help but answer, so he had to reply stubbornly: "The land can be transferred at a low price, and after the forest park is built, the developer will collect the entrance fee." After the forest park is built, it can become a good place for citizens to relax and vacation, whether it is ticket sales, or various amusement facilities inside, as the first and only forest park in Yan City, it is not a problem to receive hundreds of thousands of tourists a year......

"In this way, compared with the development of commercial housing, the municipal axe still has to suffer a lot?" Chen Feng asked with a smile, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

Xia Xiang has been roasted on the fire by Chen Feng for a long time, although the other party is the mayor, but suddenly gave him such a big problem, which also made him tired of coping, and his heart was a little unhappy, so he said angrily: "The municipal axe is the political axe of all the people of Yan City, not the political axe of the developer, let alone the enterprise, if everything pays attention to economic benefits, the political axe will become a businessman who only knows how to make money......

"Well said, vibrant, it's the truth. It's been a long time since anyone dared to tell me the truth, but today I feel very comfortable listening to it. A mayor who hears flattery and kind words every day is definitely not normal. It's just a family, and when two people still quarrel, let alone a city with a population of millions, it is normal for there to be opposing voices and different opinions. So Comrade Xiaoxia, I want to commend you for daring to tell the truth! Chen Feng stood up and took the lead in applauding.

The mayor took the lead, and the others, whether they wanted to or not, had to stand up and echo, and there was thunderous applause for a while.

Xia Xiang had an excited look on his face, he was praised by Mayor Chen in public for the first time, and in such a grand form, he couldn't help but feel a little excited, bowed to the stage again and again, and said to Chen Feng: "Mayor Chen has won the award, I am young and vigorous, and I think less about problems, so I dare to think about what to say, what is inappropriate, and ask Mayor Chen and the experts to correct." ”

The attitude should still be corrected, and the posture should also be lowered, Xia Xiang's modest words made some developers who were originally very dissatisfied with him also dissipate a lot of anger. Also, a young man who doesn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth and makes a few comments on the transformation of the urban village, perhaps Mayor Chen deliberately provides a new idea for everyone's reference in order to ease the atmosphere and mediate the conflict between experts and developers. Since it's a reference, you don't have to take it too seriously.

The developers, who originally thought that Mayor Chen would really make a decision to transform Xili Village into a forest park, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and pondered how to continue to impress Mayor Chen and get him to support their plan next.

Chen Feng proposed to adjourn the meeting for the time being and take a half-hour break.

Xia Xiang thought that there was nothing to do with him, so he said hello to Chen Feng, Cao Yongguo and Gao Hai, and turned to leave, but was stopped by Cao Yongguo. Cao Yongguo called Xia Xiang aside and whispered, "Do you know the origin of the silver-haired old man?" ”

Xia Xiang shook his head, he was also curious, but now was not the time to ask questions, so he never asked.

Cao Yongguo smiled, his smile was full of approval and appreciation: "Yes, Xiao Xia, your vision is very good, and your ideas are always unexpected. In fact, Mayor Chen's original intention was not to agree to the development of commercial housing in Xili Village. In the city's long-term plan, the pharmaceutical factory and the steel mill will definitely be relocated outside the city as a whole, and if commercial housing is built between the two major enterprises, when the pharmaceutical factory and the steel mill are relocated, the residents of the community will not be able to live normally. The silver-haired old man also held the same opinion, but I didn't expect you to find the focus as soon as you came up, and the thoughts you said coincided with Mayor Chen. ”

Xia Xiang was a little surprised: "Mayor Chen also wants to develop a forest park?" After what he just said, he didn't care much about whether the forest park could really be developed, because he knew that with his current weight, it was useless to care, and it would not affect the city's decision.

"Mayor Chen wants to develop a lung that can purify the air for the people of Yan City, but he hasn't fully decided whether it will be a huge artificial lake or a park. Moreover, the silver-haired old man also strongly supported the development of the park, and put forward very favorable conditions - by the way, he is actually both an expert in planning and a developer, and he is a dual identity, and he is not from Yanshi, but from Beijing. Cao Yongguo is now more and more appreciative of Xia Xiang, he is not only young, but also rare is long-term, and can always see what many people ignore, the most important thing is that his opinions can always coincide with Mayor Chen's ideas.

The most rare thing in officialdom is to maintain a high degree of consistency with the leader.

If this development continues, as long as Mayor Chen appreciates it, it is not impossible for him to make an exception in a short period of time to promote Xia Xiang to the deputy department with his daring surname.

"People from the capital?" Xia Xiang was taken aback, "It's not surprising that a person from the capital comes to Yan City to invest in real estate, but it makes people feel strange that he came to Yan City to invest in a park." Even in the long run, it can pay for itself, but it is still slower and less profitable than real estate. ”

"In business, it is definitely not about doing good deeds, but some people are pursuing short-term interests, and some people are looking at the long-term. His surname is Gao, his name is Gao Wang, everyone calls him Gao Lao, and the specific origin is......" Cao Yongguo didn't have time to introduce Gao Wang's identity again, so he was called by Chen Feng, and he had to nod to Xia Xiang, "You go back first, it is estimated that Mayor Chen's work of letting you throw bricks and lead jade has been completed, and the rest of the argument will be meaningless." ”

Xia wanted to go back to the office, but before his ass could sit firmly, he received a call from Shen Lichun and asked him to meet and talk. Xia Xiang was full of expectations for approaching the Dacai Group, and as soon as he heard that Shen Lichun had an appointment, he put down the work at hand and took Zhong Yiping to go immediately.

Shen Lichun wanted to meet in Baoxing Garden in the south of the city, which was the place where the two met for the first time last time.

Compared with more than a month ago, there is almost no progress in the construction of Baoxing Garden, the construction site is only doing some simple work to level the site, and there are few construction personnel, basically at a standstill.

Shen Lichun greeted the door warmly, and said slightly apologetically: "There is something I can't leave, and I have to bother my brother to come in person, I'm sorry." ”

Xia Xiang smiled, held his hand and shook it: "I know what you mean, anyway, I sent you a car, and it's easy to come over, so you beckoned me over, didn't you?" ”

Shen Lichun knew that Xia wanted to joke, so he welcomed him into the office with a smile: "There is something that is not clear on the phone, it is better to explain it in person, so please come and sit down......

Cheng Dacai finally proposed to see Xia Xiang.

In fact, as soon as Xia Xiang came to the scene of Baoxing Garden, he understood one thing, that is, the insights he put forward had obviously moved Cheng Dacai. The construction of Baoxing Garden is at a standstill, which is a sign of Cheng Dacai's hesitation, otherwise Baoxing Garden is now almost laying the foundation.

Shen Lichun asked Xia to come over, mainly telling him some habits and taboos of Cheng Dacai, so as not to accidentally commit Cheng Dacai's taboos, and finally make an unpleasant end and not end well. Cheng Dacai climbed from a small clerk to today's high position, and even the secretary of the provincial party committee gave him three points, so he naturally has his superiority, and now the high place is cold, he has a bigger temper and a strange surname, which is also a normal phenomenon.

Once a person reaches a certain height, he has a feeling of looking down on all beings, feeling good about himself, and stubbornly believing that his thoughts are always correct, which is a common problem for all people.

Cheng Dacai looked at the invincible opponent in Yan Province, and thought that he was the first person in Yan Province's real estate, if it weren't for Xia Xiang's few words hitting his itch, not to mention that he was a section-level cadre, or a deputy mayor of Yan City wanted to see Cheng Dacai, I'm afraid it would not be easy. Since Cheng Dacai's career, he has met countless officials, and he thinks he can deal with any kind of person, and he wants to see Xia Xiang, but it is just because Xia Xiang's proposal is just right, and he has a feeling of unfinished intentions, which is exactly the same as his current hesitant state. He endured it and endured it, and finally put down his body, wanting to ask Xia Xiang in person what he thought of the prospect of the real estate situation in Yan City.

Shen Lichun was also out of kindness: "Mr. Cheng's temper is not very good, Brother Xia, don't collide with him face to face, of course, what you should say is still to be said, otherwise he won't pay attention to it." As long as he listens and accepts your opinion, everything is easy to say. ”

Xia Xiang nodded, he knew the severity: "Don't worry, I know it." Cheng is always the first person in Yan Province's real estate, not to mention anything else, his great achievements over the years alone are awe-inspiring. His vision is high, and that's because Cheng always stands high enough that we need to look up to the mountains. ”

Shen Lichun saw that Xia Xiang was much more stable and mature than he imagined, so he relieved himself, explained a few more words, and said, "I estimate that in just one or two days, Mr. Cheng will find time to see you." You wait for me to call and stay in touch at any time. ”
