587 Vacate the cage for birds
Lin Zhenhua said with a smile: "Governor Hong, our Jiangnan Province has always been the best province in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in terms of attracting investment, why is it backward in your eyes?" You can't be the depth of love and the pain of pain, right? Quite a few words"
Hong Yu'an said: "Xiaolin, you may have been in Jingxi during this time, and you haven't paid attention to the things outside. Since the demolition of the Yangtze River Bridge, the development along the Yangtze River line is in full swing. We have indeed done a good job in the past, but in the past two or three months, our investment promotion results are not as good as those of brother provinces, and this matter cannot be taken lightly. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Lin Zhenhua was surprised, "Governor Hong, after I left Jingxi, I deliberately took a boat along the Yangtze River to return to Xunyang. Along the way, I did see that sister provinces are vigorously building development zones. However, the location conditions of our Xunyang are not bad, and the development is earlier, and the foundation is much better than those newly built development zones in brother provinces, why is it lacking competitiveness in attracting investment? ”
"Chairman Lin, you don't know." Yao Niangui, the current mayor of Xunyang, interjected, "The hardware conditions of our entire Xunnan Industrial Belt are second to none among the development zones established in the provinces in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Our Xunyang Port has four container terminals, four bulk cargo terminals, and the scale of Xunyang Airport is evaluated in the country, second only to these big cities in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. However, herein lies the problem. Because we developed here early, the prices of land, labor and other aspects are much higher than those of those newly built development zones, which scares away those investors. ”
"I see." Lin Zhenhua suddenly realized that in fact, this point should have been thought of a long time ago.
In real history, until the first decade of the 21st century, the economy of Jiangnan Province was still at the bottom of the provinces in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Xunyang, known as the "mouth of the three rivers and the thoroughfare of seven provinces", has not been fully exploited at all in its good location conditions and has been in a state of obscurity.
However, in this fictional story, because Lin Zhenhua, a traveler, stirred up the overall situation, Xunyang has become a pearl in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. In Xunyang alone, there are dozens of large enterprises with an annual output value of more than 1 billion yuan, including Hanhua Heavy Industries, a nationally famous giant, and as for small and medium-sized enterprises, there are countless of them. The annual cargo throughput of the entire Xunyang Port is as high as more than 30 million tons, and the container capacity is more than 20 million TEUs, which is still achieved under the limited capacity of the Yangtze River. Now that the Yangtze River waterway has been dredged, the future development is unlimited.
Economic development will inevitably bring about an increase in land and labor prices, and Hanhua's human resources department once conducted a survey and found that the labor price in Xunyang is almost the same as that of several open coastal cities. In the past, in order to reduce the price of labor, Hanhua often went to some mountainous cities and counties in the southern part of Jiangnan Province to recruit workers, but now, even the wages of workers from the mountainous areas can no longer be lowered, which is the so-called bottleneck period of development.
"The high land price and high labor cost are all good things, which shows that we are already a developed province." Lin Zhenhua said to Hong Yu'an with a smile.
Hong Yu'an shook his head: "Xiaolin, you only know one thing, you don't know the other." The state evaluates the quality of the work of the provinces, not only by your absolute level, but also by your relative level. It is true that Jiangnan Province is currently among the top five in the country in terms of per capita income, but our development rate is already at the bottom. Everyone says that Jiangnan Province is a developed province, but you only grow by 5% a year, and people grow by 20%, where do you put my face as a governor? ”
"Uh......" Lin Zhenhua was really choked by Hong Yu'an, at this moment, he began to miss Xie Mingcheng, he should really find Xie Mingcheng and teach Hong Yu'an a lesson on how to refuse GDP worship. In an economically backward place like Jingxi, talking about breaking the cult of GDP is completely fool's dream. But for a province like Jiangnan Province, where the economy has developed to a certain level, there is really no need to pursue a higher speed. However, Lin Zhenhua only thought about it in his head, he knew that China was still a poor country, so there was an intention to work hard and quickly from the top level, which determined that economic growth would still be an important indicator for evaluating the performance of local officials in the next few years. Hong Yu'an's dissatisfaction with the pace of development in Jiangnan Province is completely understandable.
Lin Zhenhua said: "Governor Hong, Mayor Yao has just explained the reason, taking Xunyang City as an example, we developed earlier than other places, so there is a serious shortage of industrial land. However, I would like to give special thanks to Mayor Yao, although the industrial land in Xunyang City is very tight, but every time we Hanhua apply for land, Mayor Yao is the green light all the way, and he is never embarrassed. ”
"Of course." Yao Niangui said with a smile, "Who doesn't know that your Chairman Lin is a banner of our Xunyang, and every time you Hanhua applies for land, it is to bring a new industry to Xunyang for us. ”。
Hong Yu'an also said: "That's right, when I was the mayor here, I had already set this rule, but whenever Hanhua wants to use land, no matter how nervous it is, it must be guaranteed." After I went to the province, I also mentioned this article to Comrade Niangui many times. ”
"Yes, yes, every time Governor Hong comes to Xunyang to inspect the work, he has to reiterate this article." Yao Niangui hurriedly echoed.
Lin Zhenhua knew that what these two officials said was true, Hanhua is currently enjoying VIP treatment in the province, whether it is land or labor, or involving other places that require government cooperation, the provincial and municipal governments have never dropped the chain.
"Thank you, Governor Hong, and Mayor Yao." Lin Zhenhua said, "I'll go on. Due to our early development, the industrial land has been saturated, and if we want to attract investment at this time, we will inevitably encounter the situations mentioned by Mayor Yao. My view is that we cannot expand the scale of local industries indefinitely, and when the old industries develop to a certain extent and can no longer accommodate the entry of new industries, we need to adopt a policy of vacating cages and replacing birds. ”
"Vacate the cage for the bird?" Hong Yu'an said, "Xiaolin, tell me in detail, what does this mean?" ”
Lin Zhenhua said: "Our industrial development zone in Jiangnan Province is mainly the Xunnan Industrial Belt. However, at present, there are many industrial enterprises in this area, not only because of the lack of industrial land, but also because the carrying capacity of the environment is close to the limit. In this case, if we want to accept the new industry, we must push out the old industry. It's like if we have a bird cage, and if we want to get a new bird, we have to let the original bird go and vacate the cage. ”
"You mean, let's push the old industry away?" Yao Niangui asked in surprise, "These companies are all recruited by us with hard work, and there are also your contributions." How can you just push it out? ”
Hong Yu'an was moved by Lin Zhenhua's words, and he muttered: "Vacate the cage for the bird...... This is a new formulation. Xiaolin, tell me, which birds do you think we should vacate and replace them with new ones? ”
Lin Zhenhua said: "The early development of our Xunnan Industrial Belt took the road of export processing trade. In the entire Xunnan Industrial Belt, pure labor-intensive simple processing and assembly enterprises account for more than 80%, and the industry covers more than a dozen categories such as clothing, electrical appliances, toys, and furniture. The profit margins of these export processing enterprises are very low, and they are completely based on scale. The reason they are able to maintain profitability is that the land they use was allocated more than a decade ago, and the price of land was so low that the cost of their land was almost negligible. ..., and now, the land they occupy has appreciated, and an acre of land is worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. Isn't it a waste that they occupy hundreds of thousands of acres of land and produce products that only earn a few cents each? Think about it, wouldn't it be more efficient if you took back this land and leased it to businesses with higher profit margins? ”
"Governor Hong, look at Mr. Lin's idea...... Yao Niangui turned his head to look at Hong Yu'an, asking Hong Yu'an's opinion. This is no longer a policy choice for a city in Xunyang City, but a general idea involving the development of the entire Jiangnan Province.
Hong Yu'an said: "I also saw this practice that Xiaolin said when I was inspecting some coastal areas. It's just that they haven't systematically sorted out this line of thinking. I think Kobayashi is right, since our industrial land is limited, why can't we give priority to those companies that are more profitable? ”
"But how can we squeeze these companies out?" Yao Niangui asked again, "These enterprises are also our big taxpayers, and they have made great contributions to the development of Xunyang over the years." Let's just say no, and push people out, it's not appropriate, right? Quite a few words"
Lin Zhenhua said with a smile: "Actually, there is a way to do this, we can formulate a standard for land income per unit area, which is calculated according to the proportion of the land area occupied by the enterprise and the local tax paid." The government has the right to levy a land idle tax if the tax paid per unit area is lower than the standard value. The profit margins of these enterprises are too low to pay such taxes, so they naturally leave. ”
"Mr. Lin has given us another problem." Yao Niangui smiled bitterly, "What kind of tax is levied, which can be decided by our local government, I haven't even heard of the land idle tax." ”
"Comrade Niangui, what Xiaolin said is just an idea, how to do it, you can use your brains and think of more ways." Hong Yu'an said dissatisfied.
"Yes, yes, Governor Hong, I see." Yao Niangui hurriedly agreed. In fact, he just complained casually, and the idea proposed by Lin Zhenhua is still very creative. As for the methods to use to get rid of those enterprises that occupy land and cannot pay much in taxes, the government has never lacked the means.
