Pearl City's originally poor economic situation began to become easier after the Pudong New Area began to promote the land leasing policy.

According to the statistics of the municipal government, more than 1 billion US dollars have been recorded in the account, and the funds that will arrive in the account will reach 10 billion US dollars in three years, which is an amazing number!

You must know that the country's foreign exchange earnings last year only just reached this figure.

Of course, this is just an introduction to the re-emergence of Pearl City, the introduction of the land leasing policy, not only for the Pearl City to provide funds for the renovation of the old city, but also to attract a large number of overseas large enterprises to come to the Pearl and begin to take root.

It is conceivable that in a few years, these large enterprises will bring a lot of production capacity, create more material wealth for the Pearl City, and make the development funds of the Pearl City bigger and stronger like a snowball.

When Mayor Wu Yuanshan came to see Ye Ziping, he brought some data reports.

Ye Ziping invited him to drink coffee, Wu Yuanshan is a person who knows the goods, and after drinking it, he was surprised, "Oh, authentic Blue Mountain coffee!" It's a rare thing to see! ”

"My brother-in-law brought it back when he went abroad, and it tasted good." Ye Ziping said with a smile.

Wu Yuanshan nodded, Ye Ziping's sister Ye Zirong is currently the director of a department of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and her husband Li Yichen, who was once the ambassador to the United States and is now the vice minister of foreign affairs, often runs outside.

It can be said that if people in China can taste any good things outside, these people must be close to the water and get the moon first.

Ye Ziping looked through the data reports and found that the contents were a summary of recent work, including fiscal revenue, the income obtained from the land leasing policy, etc., as well as the budgets of some major projects in the municipal government's planning.

It should be said that the cadres here in Mingzhu City still pay more attention to the effectiveness of their work, although Mayor Wu Yuanshan was not promoted to secretary as he wished, but he did not bring his personal emotions into his work, on the contrary, he worked harder.

This is what Ye Ziping admires, and he is also looking forward to his tenure in Mingzhu City, hoping to do his own things well in the past ten years and leave some nostalgic benefits for the people of Mingzhu City.

After reading the data report, Ye Ziping was still quite satisfied in his heart, the Pearl City Government is a pragmatic and efficient government, and Mayor Wu Yuanshan has made great contributions.

"In fact, these are the foundations laid by the first two leaders, and I just sit back and enjoy the results." Wu Yuanshan himself is relatively modest, and he waved his hand again and again for Ye Ziping's praise, not daring to be greedy for the merits of heaven for himself.

"When Comrade Hong Zheng was in office in Mingzhu City, he was constrained by the shortage of funds and was unable to carry out municipal construction, so he could only attach importance to the infrastructure construction of foreign debts." "Before the Nanpu Bridge, the municipal government borrowed money from ADB for small and medium-sized enterprises and the construction of the Suzhou Creek sewage system, and I don't think it played a role in the development of the city, but since the Nanpu Bridge, Pearl City has started to use international loans for municipal construction, and this time the results are much more obvious." ”

Ye Ziping listened and nodded.

At that time, the total investment in the Nanpu Bridge was more than $200 million, of which ADB loaned 70 million.

Since it is the first infrastructure construction project in which Pearl City applied for an ADB loan, the ADB's terms and conditions are very strict, in addition to the construction profession, there are also a large number of legal contracts, and there is a very strict acceptance system for the progress of the project at each node.

"At that time, the situation of the Pearl Municipal Government could be said to be penniless, unable to demolish residents on a large scale, and there was no land to fall in the Puxi section of the bridge, and the approach bridge could only spiral down like butterfly wings." Wu Yuanshan remembered the events of that year, and couldn't help but sigh a little, "The shape of this bridge is a witness at that time, as the largest economic center in China, just to build a bridge across the river in the city, to what extent is the lack of funds, the difference is money." ”

"At that time, Comrade Hong Zheng said that in cooperation with ADB, we must keep our word, do what we say, borrow and repay, and it is not difficult to borrow again." Wu Yuanshan said, "The Nanpu Bridge was built in December 1988 and completed in February 1991, just over the time period of the Nanmen Incident. Comrade Hong Zheng saw many people in his televised speeches that were full of emotion, but no one had seen the harder efforts he made under his lens to retain the influential foreign businessmen in Mingzhu City at that time. At that time, the city itself was not much better, and the municipal construction had just turned to external loans and had not yet achieved results, and probably not many people except for him, the head of the family, really understood the huge pressure he had to do so. ”

"It is said that the construction of the Nanpu Bridge reached a point at that time, but the ADB did not come for a long time, and if the people did not arrive, they could not inspect it, and the money could not arrive. Usually, the so-called contractual responsibility is heavier than everything is used against us, and if they can't come, they won't come, and there is no way at all. In the end, Comrade Hong Zheng gritted his teeth and explained that Zhushi should also ensure the construction period by advancing money by itself. Wu Yuanshan said, "Later, ADB finally found out in conscience and finally gave a good word, indicating that Zhuhai City exemplifies the contract model and can be exempted from inspection in the future." The second Yangpu Bridge refinancing was a reassuring project for ADB, and in the end, ADB took pride in the Nanpu Bridge loan project as a successful model. Think about this, it's really a poor man with short ambitions, and a horse with long hair. ”

"These are the limitations of the times, in fact, if Pearl City engaged in land leasing at that time, it could also solve the problem of capital." Ye Ziping said, "But because of too much pressure from all sides, I didn't do it." ”

"So I admire you very much, Secretary Ye." Wu Yuanshan said with emotion, "Comrade Jiang Cheng and Comrade Hong Zheng have considered this work, but they have not formed a resolution in the city, which shows the great resistance encountered. ”

Wu Yuanshan's admiration for Ye Ziping should be said to be more sincere, after all, there is money in the city, first of all, his confidence as the mayor is much stronger, and the development of various tasks has become much easier.

Of course, not all the cadres and the masses agree with the policy of renting land, and in fact most of them oppose it.

It's just that this aspect of things is something that Ye Ziping needs to consider, and it doesn't have much to do with him, the mayor.

The time has just entered November, and a cold snap has hit, which makes the people of Mingzhu City feel that winter is near.

In the north, the forces opposing the land leasing policy have finally twisted into a rope and have put forward a very fierce criticism of the practice of Pearl City.

The Beijing City Party Newspaper invariably appeared a voice that the land leasing policy carried out by the Mingzhu Municipal Party Committee and Government was a reversal of history, and some veteran cadres stood up and scolded Ye Ziping's practice of implementing the land leasing policy in Mingzhu City as a deception of reopening the concession and selling land to foreigners.

"Land leasing is land selling!"

"Ye Ziping is going to reverse the wheel of history!"

"Is Ye Ziping planning to reopen the concession?!"

All kinds of big hats were put on Ye Ziping's head in an instant, so many that even he couldn't count them.

Ye Kai has been busy with things in East China Shenyun recently, as well as buying land in Pudong and preparing for large-scale construction, but even so, it is impossible for him not to hear the voices of these old cadres, so he ran back.

"How did the wind turn so badly lately?" Ye Kai expressed doubts about this.

It stands to reason that although the high-level officials did not express clear support for the land leasing policy in Pearl City, they did not explicitly express their opposition, so the attitude towards this policy is to wait and see, and then draw conclusions.

However, less than two months after the work was carried out in Mingzhu City, such a fierce opposition suddenly appeared, what does this mean? It must be that someone in the capital is deliberately creating contradictions, wanting to provoke everyone's dissatisfaction with Ye Ziping, and then deal a major blow to the old Ye family!

Who is behind the trouble? Ye Kai's heart was not very clear, but he felt that these bigwigs at the central level did not have the need to operate like this.

"A group of old cadres, behind them may be Hou Laosan's former father-in-law is instigating......" Ye Ziping's source is more powerful, and after listening to his son's question, he also said helplessly.

"Hey, this old man really won't stop." Ye Kai listened and scratched his head a little.

There is really nothing you can do about this old man.

The key is that his qualifications are also relatively old, and he is more decent, he has never violated the law and discipline, and he is also very honest.

Moreover, old cadres like him, in fact, in terms of quantity, are also a very large group, they have nothing to do all day long, care about national affairs, express their sense of existence, that is also a matter of course, but many cadres who have retreated will always feel that this is not pleasing to the eye, that is wrong, there must be a lot of complaints, once a person agitates, they can turn this kind of resentment into a powerful force, and can even affect the direction of the political situation.

That's exactly what is happening today.

"The key is that this trend is very headache, I am thinking about whether to go to the capital for a trip, on this issue, to explain the views of Pearl City." Ye Ziping was also a little undecided at this time, but he felt that he couldn't let the situation continue to develop like this.

Ye Kai listened, but he pondered for a while, shook his head and stopped, "The time is not right, don't be impatient!" ”
