Volume IV: The Situation of the Special Administrative Region Chapter 18 What is taken from the people is for the people
"Lu Zheng, I heard that you are getting engaged?" This was in Mayor Zhou Tao's office, and Zhou Tao had just seen Lu Zheng's first sentence.
Lu Zheng went back to Osan last night, today is Monday, early in the morning, Lu Zheng came to Zhou Tao's office.
"Congratulations," Zhou Tao said with a smile.
Lu Zheng knew that it must be the eldest sister who had a good relationship with him, Zhou Tao and the eldest sister were very familiar, and even once made people think that there was some inexplicable ambiguous relationship between the two.
Of course, the eldest sister knows a lot of things very little, and she will definitely keep secret what she thinks she shouldn't say, so what Zhou Tao can know is even more immediate, that is, the woman may not know if she is a German girl, as for the other party's age, family background, etc., the eldest sister is not clear, and Zhou Tao has no way to know.
"Getting married has the trouble of starting a family," Zhou Tao suddenly sighed with emotion.
Lu Zheng glanced at him and didn't squeak.
Legend has it that the eldest sister and Zhou Tao were in love, but there was an age difference, and Zhou Tao had a wife at the time, and he was his father's secretary, so this relationship couldn't be resolved.
Zhou Tao immediately covered his seemingly slightly disturbed mood with a smile, and said: "When you have time, take your fiancΓ©e to Wushan to play, our two families will get together, your sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I still talk about you." β
Lu Zheng nodded slightly and said, "Okay." Then he said: "Secretary Feng has set the expectation of local fiscal revenue this year very high, and I have pondered and pondered, but there is a way." β
Hearing Lu Zheng mention his work, Zhou Tao's expression became serious, "Well, tell me, what way?" β
Lu Zheng said: "I think let's start with the tobacco industrial and commercial tax, this tax country is too large, and our Wushan local retention is 10 percent, right?" Now, the central government is beginning to explore the tax sharing system, and I think we should ask the central government for this part of the fiscal retention. Of course, we are not local fiscalism, and we are not bargaining with the state for money. Fiscal and tax revenues, how to put it, should come from the people and from the people. β
"What is the government revenue, is the wealth created by the people, our government, in addition to maintaining economic development, should play a more role in regulating this part of the wealth, through public investment will be the secondary distribution of resources, improve the education level of the poor people, improve the basic conditions of poor areas caused by various historical reasons, to avoid the poor getting poorer and the rich getting richer, this should be the function of our government, but also our commitment to achieve common prosperity."
"The meaning of giving the wealth of the world to the people of the world is a compulsory course in the theory of capitalist society.
Lu Zheng took a sip of water and said: "So this time to fight for the share of tax revenue allocated by the central government, I think we can make a statement to the central government, and all this part of the money will be allocated to the rural fund and poverty alleviation fund." Some people may talk about what we are doing and formalism, but as long as we do this seriously and have a clear conscience, I think it is enough. β
Zhou Tao smiled and nodded: "I'm thinking about it." Sometimes, listening to Lu Zheng's words, he will have an illusion, as if he is facing Secretary Lu, and the spirit on Lu Zheng's body is so similar to Secretary Lu.
Lu Zheng said again: "There is also our tax area, Secretary Feng mentioned it, and he is very dissatisfied with Lao Hao, and I am afraid that Lao Hao will be withdrawn depending on what he means." β
"Hao Renyuan, right?" Zhou Tao pondered and didn't say anything.
Lu Zheng knows that Zhou Tao has been flying around for a long time since he took office, but how can he not have an in-depth understanding of the leaders of the Wushan Ministries and Commissions?
Hao Renyuan, deputy director of the Finance Bureau and director of the Taxation Bureau, is a well-known good person and a good man, and Zhou Tao must have heard of it.
"Lao Hao's words......" Zhou Tao tapped his fingers on the coffee table, pondered and said slowly: "Who do you think can be on top?" β
"In my opinion, it is more appropriate to transfer a comrade from below, and the comrades who come up below have nothing to do with the chain of interests in all aspects of Wushan, so it is better to work freely." As Lu Zheng spoke, he glanced at Zhou Tao, this question, Lu Zheng has not been thinking about it for a day or two.
Zhou Tao smiled slightly and said, "You should have the right candidate?" β
Lu Zheng said: "If you want me to say that the next Yu Department is the Yu Department of Qinglong and Guangning, I know them better. In terms of tax work, Quang Ninh's mother Shichou and Qinglong's Zhou Fangzheng, both of these comrades have work experience in the tax system, and they are also relatively mature. Of course, from my personal point of view, Comrade Mu Shichou is the most suitable candidate, an old comrade, a steady work style, and I and Deputy Director Jiang Haiyan have worked in the team, and they have a tacit understanding with each other. β
Zhou Tao needs to use himself to realize his influence on Wushan, and he also needs to borrow Zhou Tao's strength.
It seems that the contradiction between him and Wang Tongdi, secretary of the county party committee, is getting bigger and bigger, and it is necessary to calm down this dispute as soon as possible, otherwise, something will happen sooner or later.
Now that the Guangning team is adjusted, whether it is Feng Guiping or Zhou Tao, who has just arrived, there may not be a suitable person who can take a hand, so the new county magistrate may be able to promote the candidate he likes.
If you wait for the chaos in Guangning in the future to adjust the county party committee team, it is not for you or even Zhou Tao to intervene.
"Mother Shichou ......" Zhou Tao groaned and slowly picked up the teacup.
Lu Zheng took out a few pages of documents from his black briefcase and said, "Also, the two proposals I prepared are going to be discussed at the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and I want to hear your opinions first." β
Zhou Tao said with a smile: "Your CPPCC proposal, I won't express my opinions randomly, right?" β
"Our proposals are all false, and without the support of the party committee and the government, they are just a few pieces of straw paper." As Lu Zheng spoke, he handed the document to Zhou Tao, and Zhou Tao had no choice but to take it in his hand.
On the first page of the document, the black-headed words "Proposal on the Use of Joint Ventures and Financing to Expand Dagang in Wushan West District", saw the title, and immediately attracted Zhou Tao's attention.
Lu Zheng said: "Our development in Osan is very fast, and now, the airport is being expanded, and international flights are about to open. After the opening of sea trade with South Korea and Japan, the lack of port throughput has become more and more prominent, and the state also attaches great importance to it, but the main expansion is still what we traditionally call Osan Port, but don't forget, Wangbeidian, which is more than 50 kilometers away from the city, has been inspected as the best deep-water port in the north since the Republic of China, and Mr. Zhongshan has put forward an ambitious goal to build Wangbeidian into the first port in China with New York Harbor, but it has been delayed for various reasons. β
"Although in recent years, the two terms of Secretary Duan's era, are striving for the construction of this port, the country, the relevant departments have inspected, in principle agreed to approve the project, but because of financial problems, the actual project has been shelved, I think, we Osan can fully finance the first phase of the project by themselves."
"The year before last, there was a document in the State Department, you see, at the bottom, in the appendix." Lu Zheng handed Zhou Tao the document pressed at the bottom, and said: "From the central government, it is agreed that foreign capital will come in to help us build a port, but generally speaking, this kind of investment income is small and the effect is slow, so the central government has given all kinds of preferential conditions." β
In 1985, the State Council issued the "Interim Regulations on Preferential Treatment for Sino-Foreign Joint Ventures in the Construction of Ports and Wharves," in which it was proposed that foreign companies, enterprises, or individuals who jointly invest in the establishment of joint ventures to build ports and wharves with Chinese companies and enterprises within the territory of the People's Republic of China shall, in addition to applying the laws, regulations, and rules on joint ventures, be given preferential treatment in accordance with the regulations in accordance with the actual conditions of large investment, long construction periods, and low capital profit margins
Joint ventures are allowed to have a longer joint venture period, which can exceed 30 years, and the specific joint venture period shall be determined by the parties to the joint venture through negotiation. After the expiration of the joint venture, the term of the joint venture may also be extended if the parties to the joint venture agree and report to the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations and Trade of the People's Republic of China or its entrusted agency for approval. Upon application by the joint venture, reviewed by the local tax authorities and approved by the Ministry of Finance of the People's Republic of China, the enterprise may adopt the method of accelerated depreciation of fixed assets to recover the investment. The joint venture imports raw materials, loading and unloading equipment, means of transport and other production facilities necessary for the construction of the terminal with the funds from the total investment amount and is exempt from customs duties and the uniform industrial and commercial tax.
And so on and so forth.
Lu Zheng continued: "I think that in the western Dagang, we can set up a port group company by borrowing from abroad, issuing domestic fund-raising construction bonds, etc., and at the same time, seek joint ventures with foreign investors to build and develop this port together." β
Zhou Tao smiled and said: "It's been two years since the central document came down, and I haven't seen any foreign capital to make a big move, how can foreigners be willing to help us build infrastructure?" Zhou Tao thinks that Lu Zheng, a young man, is good, courageous and responsible, and has a lot of Lu family style, but he talks exaggeratedly, and many things are too idealistic, which may also be a common problem for famous children.
Lu Zheng took a sip of tea, pondered and said: "I should be sure to bring in some funds, plus our financing, the support of the state, at least, the first phase of the project is enough, the port project can not be rushed, take your time, spread out, our Wushan economy continues to develop, and the investment behind it will naturally come in a steady stream." β
Zhou Tao was stunned for a moment and looked at Lu Zheng: "You said you are sure to bring in funds?" β
Lu Zheng nodded slowly.
There is no problem in taking out a part of the money I have earned in the international financial market, and with the financing of the international fund and the financing of Osan itself, the first phase of investment should be no problem. What's the use of making all this money? It's also time to come in handy, and the same is taken from the people for the people, just for the whole Shijie people, for the Chinese people.
Of course, this is also a long-term investment, and the return is smaller from the current perspective, but considering the inflation caused by China's economic boom in the future, and considering the development prospects of Oshan, this long-term investment is still extremely cost-effective.
A trace of heat flashed in Zhou Tao's eyes, because of the relationship between Changming Group, Lu Zheng often deals with foreigners, and besides, with such a big project, if he is not sure, he will joke about it?
China's first joint venture to build and operate a port will certainly attract the attention of the world in this Osan Special Economic Zone, and if he can take the lead in doing so, he, the mayor, will naturally benefit a lot.
