When it was time to use the money, Zhang Daguan naturally thought of Wang Zhigang, director of the Finance Bureau, and he summoned Wang Zhigang to his office with a phone call, and he called Wang Zhigang not to ask him for money, because Zhang Daguan knew Binhai's financial situation, and he called Wang Zhigang to ask him to help find a way.

The joint production of street lamps with Jiangcheng is progressing smoothly, and the first batch of products has been produced, which will be shipped to Binhai and enter the installation process in a few days.

Zhang Yang was naturally relieved to hear Wang Zhigang's report on the situation, and he smiled: "You need such efficiency to do things, Zhigang, how are things going in your family?" ”

Wang Zhigang understood that he was asking Wang Xuehai, and said with a smile: "The two brothers and sisters have met, and they may not have been in touch for too long, and they are a little estranged from each other. ”

Zhang Yang heard the meaning of his words, obviously Wang Xuehai and his sister failed to release their previous suspicions. It is difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, and it is not easy to ask too much about the affairs of the Wang family, so he cut the topic to the topic, and the main purpose of calling Wang Zhigang over today is to let him help solve the problem of money.

After Wang Zhigang heard Zhang Yang's words, his brows furrowed, and he said in a low voice: "Secretary Zhang, what is the estimated investment amount of this greening plan?" ”

Zhang Yang said: "This set of greening plan is not a simple greening, but the overall improvement of the city's image project, from road renovation, to bridge renovation, to the redivision of the city's functional areas, involving a lot of aspects, if you want to complete it all, about 500 million funds, a phase of investment needs 100 million." ”

Wang Zhigang said: "Can the city give support? ”

Zhang Yang said: "It is not easy for them to give us some supportive policies, and it is impossible for them to take money." ”

Wang Zhigang said: "500 million is a long-term goal, let's not think about it first, it is not difficult to solve the funding gap of 100 million, but it may not be easy to solve this matter in the short term." ”

Zhang Yang said: "Yes, I'm wondering, Binhai has such a good resource, why can't the finance come up with money?" ”

Wang Zhigang said: "During this period of time, I have also done some understanding and investigation on this matter, and some of the data I learned from the Audit Bureau show that Binhai's expenses for going abroad for business purposes alone last year alone reached 12 million, the purchase and use of buses was 36 million, and the official entertainment expenses were 39 million. ”

Zhang Daguan was dumbfounded when he heard this, and couldn't help but even burst out with foul language: "Damn, so many?" The little money in the coastal area is not enough to eat. ”

Wang Zhigang said: "If you want to make Binhai's finances improve, you must open up sources and reduce expenditures, open sources can find a way, but you must start from the source, Secretary Zhang, I said something that should not be said, now the throttling has become a retention, and official expenditures have become a confused account, I will give you an example, the Finance Bureau itself, last year bought three new cars, a total of 1.1 million yuan, and now the Toyota business car is still in the garage, nine months to run 500 kilometers, for which two drivers are specially equipped, Aside from their wages, the maintenance and repair costs incurred a year because of this car are 36,500 kilometers, 36,000 yuan of maintenance funds, I don't know how it was generated, but a check of the documents, maintenance fees, tolls, bridge tolls, gasoline fees, add up to really enough of this number, how much water in it, it is unknown, the most ironic thing is that these two drivers also won a fuel-saving award last year, that is to say, other drivers consume more than them. ”

Zhang Daguan gritted his teeth and said: "Damn, a good coastal will let these moths be emptied." ”

Wang Zhigang said: "The country's major policy is good, but there are still many loopholes in the specific implementation process, some things are up and down, see one doing this, others have followed suit, the current reality is caught in a vicious circle, anyway, it is public money, you are greedy for ink into your pocket, others will say that you are corrupt, but I didn't put it in my pocket, I help the public spend money, this is called public expenditure, although the cost is also a lot, in fact, the waste is not much worse than corruption, But because of the public word, the behavior becomes natural. ”

Zhang Yang said: "Now that I have realized it, I have begun to be very angry about this unhealthy trend. ”

Wang Zhigang smiled bitterly: "Secretary Zhang, this phenomenon is very common, not only in Binhai, but also in Binhai. ”

Zhang Yang said: "I don't care what happens elsewhere, I'm in charge of Binhai, and I'll start from Binhai." ”

Wang Zhigang said: "After the throttling is over, let's talk about open source, and Jiangcheng joint production of energy-saving street lights, this is a kind of open source, because of this matter, we can complete the lighting of the city without spending a penny." If you want to say that the city's open source income, the current way is nothing more than several, one is to rely on the appropriation from the superiors, you just said that it is unlikely, the other is to rely on the city's own creativity to make money, Binhai has almost thought of it, even if there are new ways and means to make money, it is impossible to achieve such a big benefit in the short term, and there is another point, which is currently the most common way. Wang Zhigang paused before saying, "Give up the land!" ”

Zhang Yang said: "I'm afraid the coastal land is not so attractive, the economic development zone has been in operation for so long, and I haven't seen many enterprises and businesses come to invest." ”

Wang Zhigang said: "The Binhai Development Zone has been a failure, and although I am not an expert in urban planning, I can also see the shortcomings of the development zone. With the rise of Beigang New Port, the role and influence of Fulong Port are gradually decreasing, which is a very bad phenomenon, if the bulk of the financial revenue of Fulong Port is allowed to sink down, the economy of the coastal area will only continue to deteriorate in the future. “

Zhang Yang said: "I also have an idea of introducing foreign capital, expanding Fulong Port, making it bigger and stronger on the existing basis, and building it into a first-class port in the north of Pinghai." ”

Wang Zhigang said: "Since the completion of the new port of Beigang, the city's policies are constantly inclined to the new port, and now Fulong Port has no advantage compared with the new port, even if it can smoothly introduce foreign capital and build Fulong Port, this is not a short-term thing that can be achieved." ”

Zhang Yang said: "I haven't finished my words yet, Beigang Xingang is a secretary's political achievement project, and it is impossible for him to let me dominate the crowd, so Fulong Port can only find another way, and we can't compete with Xingang in terms of scale." ”

Wang Zhigang took a sip of tea from his teacup, and he put forward a proposal that made Zhang Daguan's eyes shine: "Since the development zone has decided to move to the vicinity of Fulong Port, a new economic development zone will be formed in the future, why not go further and apply for the establishment of a comprehensive bonded zone?" ”

The so-called comprehensive bonded zone is a special customs supervision area set up in the inland area with the function of a bonded port area, which implements closed management, and is a special customs supervision area with the highest level of opening up, the most preferential policy, and the most complete functions in China, and is a pilot zone and a pioneer zone for the state to open up finance, trade, investment, services, transportation, and other fields. Its functions, taxation and foreign exchange policies shall be implemented in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Reply of the State Council on the Establishment of Bonded Port Areas. Foreign goods enter the bonded area, and the goods go out of the area and enter the domestic sales according to the relevant provisions of the import of goods to go through the customs declaration procedures, and the actual state of the goods is taxed; Domestic goods entering the zone are regarded as exports, and tax rebates are implemented; Transactions of goods between enterprises in the bonded zone are not subject to VAT and consumption tax. The zone is mainly based on the functions of international transit, international procurement, international distribution, international entrepot trade and bonded processing, supplemented by functions such as commodity and service transactions, investment financing and insurance, and supported by service functions such as legal and government affairs, import and export display, etc., and has the functions of gathering and dispersing production factors and transferring important materials.

Wang Zhigang's proposal is tantamount to an empowerment for Zhang Daguan, it can be said that the young director of finance has made Zhang Yang feel amazed more than once, if the Binhai Free Trade Zone application is successful, it is tantamount to adding an important weight to the removal of the county to the city in Binhai, and as long as the halo of the free trade zone is shrouded, under the focus of the policy tilt care, Chinese and foreign businesses are bound to flock to it, and it is difficult for Fulong Port and even the entire coastal area not to become the focus of the region.

Zhang Daguan was rarely so excited as now, he stood up and patted Wang Zhigang on the shoulder: "Okay! If this happens, I'll give you the first credit! ”

Wang Zhigang said: "I am a native of Binhai, and of course I want to see the development of Binhai. ”

Zhang Yang said: "Selling land is the next policy, as long as the application for the bonded zone is successful, the surrounding land of our coastal area will definitely be expensive, and the merchants who want to rent it may even have to squeeze their heads." ”

Wang Zhigang said: "If the government wants to maximize the benefits, it must strictly control the land, around the port area and the bonded area to build a first-class modern logistics park, Binhai wants to be rich and strong, we must develop our own strengths, to maximize our existing advantages." ”

After Zhang Yang's brief excitement, he quickly calmed down, and he thought to Wang Zhigang and said: "This matter should not be mentioned to anyone else except you and me." Zhang Yang is worried that if this matter reaches Beigang, it will inevitably be obstructed by the superior leaders, if the bonded area can be established, Beigang will never set up the bonded area on the coast, this matter is of great significance, must be operated in secret.

Wang Zhigang is shrewd, and of course he knows what he is scrupling about. He said in a low voice: "The joint approval of the General Administration of Customs, the State Administration of Taxation, and the State Council can make it possible. ”

Zhang Daguan said with confidence: "To prepare 10 million public expenses, I must personally go out to do this, and I must succeed immediately!" ”
