Chapter 265: Worry from afar

Liu Qiuyang satisfied Meng Jinxing's curiosity and promised to take him to Sanjiang Reservoir for fishing on the weekend.

Before this, Meng Jinxing took some time to visit Luo's house to visit Luo's grandmother and her wife, and then asked Zhao Xiaobo to have tea in Wangjiang Tower. High-speed updates //

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Director Ni has contacted the EG headquarters many times, but the other party has been delaying the trip for various reasons, and in order to get this project, Yangcheng heard that a special person has been sent to Britain, and the secretary has personally presided over two meetings to discuss countermeasures. Zhao Xiaobo smacked the tea leaves in his mouth and said.

"Is there a result of the discussion?" Meng Jinxing asked.

"For the sake of prudence, the provincial party committee intends to send Vice Governor Qin to lead a delegation to Britain before Changfeng formally signs an agreement with EG. First, it shows our sincerity in introducing this project, and secondly, we can also investigate the current operation status of EG. ”

Meng Jinxing was glad that the leaders of the provincial party committee had a cautious attitude towards the project, and it was very necessary to make a final investigation before Changfeng and EG formally signed the investment agreement, and he always had doubts about Zhang and Huang's eagerness to sign the agreement.

In addition, he is still angry about the free supply of land, "I always feel that the condition of free land supply is unacceptable, which is to take the long-term development of Changfeng under his feet to achieve the superficial growth of economic data." ”

Zhao Xiaobo glanced at him and said, "Necessary sacrifices are inevitable. As long as the EG Group itself is reliable, it is not unreasonable to make some concessions on the terms of investment. ”

Meng Jinxing shook his head and said: "Changfeng is not an economically strong county. When a piece of land is transferred, not only not a penny is not collected, but also the money paid to the zhongyāng treasury and the compensation and resettlement expenses must be pasted upside down, which is really something that can be exchanged for a year's tax revenue? Zhao Mi, I won't tell you, I really have a question mark about this. ”

"You take a long-term view and think about future generations."

"It's hard to take care of it in front of you!" Meng Jinxing continued to shake his head, "Because EG wants land with a better location, the industrial park has allocated 800 acres of land that has not been requisitioned to them, and at the same time, the school will be demolished and sold to make up for the financial holes. Not counting these, the 800 acres of land involved a total of hundreds of families in two villages, and the resettlement destination has not been decided, but EG is already bidding for the project, saying that it will start construction immediately. This series of practices is no different from killing chickens and taking eggs! ”

Zhao Xiaobo looked at Meng Jinxing with some surprise.

He admitted that what Meng Jinxing said was the truth, such a big project, all levels have made such a great determination to take it down, there is bound to be a lot of work to be done, and in order to produce benefits as soon as possible, it is definitely necessary to speed up the construction of the project, which will inevitably lead to the emergence of such and such problems.

He was surprised that Meng Jinxing, as Ge Yun's son-in-law, Xia Minghan and Zhang Guangsheng's extremely important subordinates, had always held an opposite attitude to the leaders in this matter, and he felt that this was very dangerous.

Officialdom has always paid attention to seeing through but not saying it, and Meng Jinxing talked to him about this, although it reflected his trust in him, but Zhao Xiaobo felt that it was quite unsuitable.

"Be cautious, not in your position, not in your politics. What's more, what are we doing with so many departments and so many cadres there? Isn't it just to find problems and solve them? There is a problem, as long as it is solved, it is not a problem. ”

Zhao Xiaobo's answer made Meng Jinxing feel that the first secretary of the provincial party committee had been at the top for a long time, and he was also contaminated with a strong bureaucratic thinking.

It is precisely because Zhao Xiaobo and his ilk, who are upright in their own thinking and behavior, are accustomed to looking at grassroots issues from a condescending perspective and invisibly conniving at the continued emergence of some erroneous practices, that many problems that could have been nipped in the bud have been expanded step by step.

Meng Jinxing failed to reach a consensus with Zhao Xiaobo on this issue, and he understood that it was impossible for Zhao Xiaobo to infiltrate Luo Min with his own ideas.

For several days in a row, he did not go to live in the party school, but stayed at his parents' house, and used the evening time to write an article on "Land and People's Livelihood".

From the land system since the Chinese dynasties and the land system of developed countries abroad, to the problems existing in the current land system in China, it is pointed out from a forward-looking perspective that the imbalance between local administrative power and financial power brought about by the tax reform is gradually influencing the local government to adopt alternative means to use the extra-budgetary income brought by land finance to fill the various shortages of fiscal funds, focusing only on immediate interests and not considering the long-term consequences. It is likely that the good GDP figures will eventually turn into a mirage.

Meng Jinxing also pointed out in the article that the quiet rise of land finance is not only due to the fact that the local government is eager to seek wealth and political achievements, but also because it has formed a complete financial chain, connecting the links of capital actions related to land, and using the "roots" to leverage the "silver roots" to form a capital carnival.

In the context of urban development, individuals are required to obey collective needs, and individual interests are subordinated to collective interests and local interests, and then they are grandly required to hand over the land and houses on which they depend for survival with a small amount of money, and become new urban residents in the torrent of urbanization......

After the article was written, he asked his father Meng Qingping to correct it, but Meng Qingping was silent for a long time after reading it, and finally tore up the manuscript in front of him.

"Dad, what are you doing here?" Meng Jinxing hurriedly stepped forward, but he still didn't grab what he had worked so hard to write.

"You're playing with fire with your career!" Meng Qingping coldly threw down a sentence, "Don't challenge the interests of the majority at any time!" ”

Meng Jinxing watched his father disappear in a daze, at a loss as to who was the majority? Is it the masses at the bottom of the pyramid, or the emerging middle class at the waist of the pyramid, or the spire group that controls the vast majority of resources?

He didn't give up on his idea because of his father's obstruction.

Changfeng County's land operation method for the EG project made him see an extremely dangerous thing, if the local government is in this way to cāo for land and cāo for local construction projects, the GDP may go up in the next ten or twenty years, and the debt value will also rise geometrically.

He rewrote a new manuscript and then went to Luo's house again.

But when he got to the door, he stopped.

If Luo Min's thoughts are the same as Meng Qingping's, then how should he continue?

Or will Luo Min's support for his ideas, in the current almost one-sided mode of thinking, make Luo Min fall into passivity in officialdom?

If it only involves his personal honor or disgrace, he doesn't care, but if it involves other people, he must carefully consider whether he can take this step, or how to take this step, and ensure that the road ahead can be continued.

He walked around the door, smoked four or five cigarettes, and finally decided not to look for Luo Min, but for Qin Wanhua!

Qin Wanhua heard Meng Jinxing's views on the phone, and keenly felt that the topic of land and people's livelihood would become a long-term news hotspot.

But if it rises to the policy level, there is no doubt that Meng's article is not suitable for public publication now.

"You fax me the manuscript, and I'll send you the internal reference." Qin Wanhua said decisively, "It's just right, let Lao Liu also take a look, he should be interested." ”

"Sister Qin, thank you so much!"

Meng Jinxing feels that internal reference is undoubtedly a better choice than public announcement.

He wrote this article not to make a name for himself or to get promoted, but to hope that someone at the decision-making level would notice the problems that are emerging at the grassroots level.

He knows very well that solving the problem will definitely be a long process, because behind the land finance is more people, and people can not simply be solved with one or two policies, it needs a complete system to balance the game of interests in all aspects.

……

While Meng Jinxing was busy analyzing the motives and trends of land finance from a policy perspective, Zhang Guanglie and Huang Ying had already returned to Britain to accompany the investment delegation led by Vice Governor Qin Xuequan to inspect the EG headquarters.

During the week-long inspection activity, Qin Xuequan and others only spent two hours meeting with the management staff of EG headquarters to introduce to them the various advantages of Southwest Province, especially the various data of Southwest Province's leading domestic provinces in drug production, the development history of the group and the current sales share in the world market.

The rest of the time, the delegation was arranged by Huang Ying to visit the major places of interest in Britain, go in and out of the major luxury stores in Britain, and taste all kinds of European food in groups......

At the end of the week, everyone was tired and exhausted, but their faces were as bright as flowers.

Before the delegation returned to China, Huang Ying and Zhang Guanglie invited Qin Xuequan and his wife to dinner separately to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary.

Tang Xuan has been accompanied by Huang Ying these days to eat, drink and have fun, received a lot of special care, and Huang Ying has become a sister, the so-called wedding anniversary is also what she told Huang Ying, and then received this pair of famous watches that she has been longing for a long time, she is full of gratitude to Huang Ying.

"Miss Huang is so meticulous, no wonder she will become an executive of a world-famous group like EG, and she can be regarded as a model of Britannica-Chinese!" Tang Xuan did not hesitate to praise Huang Ying.

Huang Ying smiled reservedly: "Mrs. Qin has praised it." Whether Huang Ying can be a good executive of EG depends on the strong support of Governor Qin! ”

Qin Xuequan immediately asked, "Does Huang always run into problems?" ”

Huang Ying said: "It's not a big problem. The main reason is that the expansion of EG overseas development projects has accelerated recently, and some funds have been suppressed, and our projects in Changfeng may need to borrow from banks. ”

"Hehe, it's not really a big deal." Qin Xuequan laughed, "After returning to China, if you need a loan, you can go directly to Weng Canhui, if there is any problem in the province, you can just find me, how can we make it difficult for our investors?" ”

Huang Ying and Zhang Guanglie looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time raised their glasses to Qin Xuequan and his wife.
