Section 379 Set your position
Yang Chao left Beijing before the reporter and went all the way south to Shandong and Dongying City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Now Dongying has also become a city, but it is not the kind of free city in Shanghai, she does not have so much freedom, of course, there is a certain amount of freedom, this is a new institutional plan, the population of 5 million can theoretically be opened, Shandong except for Jinan, other provinces may not have so many people.
However, for such towns with concentrated populations, Yang Chao suggested that they be called cities, which are directly under the jurisdiction of the provincial government, and are separated from Denglai Qingjiao Road. After becoming directly under the provincial government, Dongying City gained a new power that it could share an extra share of the tax without having to go through the two layers of the provincial government and the provincial platform.
In recent years, they have finally adapted to the urban disease of the super city, and with the continuous increase in police force, the social order has improved a lot, and the incidence rate is not as high as in the past. The infrastructure here has also been completely upgraded, not only in terms of increased investment after the increase in taxes, but also in borrowing, and the increase in taxes means an increase in credit, and the interest rate on bonds issued by Dongying City is lower, making it easier to raise funds.
In the first two years of economic prosperity, the Dongying Municipal Government vigorously borrowed money, successively invested hundreds of millions of taels of funds, and renovated the entire infrastructure of Dongying under Yang Chao's planning ideas.
In the past, Dongying was chaotic and the number of factories had skyrocketed, mixing residential, commercial and industrial areas, and the location near the sea often caused sewage to flow sideways.
Now there are clear industrial, commercial and residential areas.
Dongying forms an arc-shaped city along the Bohai Bay, which is more than 50 kilometers long and only 13 kilometers wide; The closest to the coast are contiguous industrial areas, with commercial areas close to industrial areas and residential areas furthest from the sea. This layout has caused controversy, some people say that the residential area should be located in the center, so that it is more convenient to go to the industrial area to work, or to go to the commercial area to consume, but some people say that industry is also inseparable from business, and the commercial area is placed in the center, one side can serve the industry, and the other side can serve the residents.
In the end, Yang Chao made a decision to put the residential area in the farthest place from the sea, which is for safety reasons, after all, the temper of the sea is not so good, in case of a typhoon or something, people's safety is the first thing to guarantee.
Of course, this is just planning, not that there are no residential buildings in the commercial area, there is no commercial market in the industrial area, and there are even workers' dormitories in the industrial area, the planning is only relative, just to delineate the industrial area, the commercial area and the residential area, and give tax incentives, and at the same time, for different functions, the government vigorously builds different infrastructure.
Among them, it is the most lenient for residential areas and the most mandatory for industrial areas, and new factories must be placed in industrial areas, so that residents and businesses can operate freely in the three places; Policy guidance is sufficient, which makes industrial land strained, and the expansion of factories naturally squeezes out residential housing.
After the completion of the planning, the long 50-kilometer arc-shaped city is divided into 5 districts, each district has a main road, leading from the residential area to the industrial area, longitudinally running through the entire city, the construction of this main road is extremely domineering, the road width is up to 100 meters, there are eight lanes and two sidewalks.
Four neat rows of trams come and go across the eight lanes, all of which are Siemens-made extended cars, which can easily accommodate five million people during peak hours, because the main road was designed to accommodate 10 million people from the beginning.
There are five such arterial roads with public trams as the core, and three identical arterial roads horizontally, one along the coastline that shuttles through the industrial area, one between the industrial area and the commercial area, and one between the commercial area and the residential area.
5 vertical and 3 horizontal, eight main roads, constitute the current transportation network of Dongying City, auxiliary more than 100 blocks with trams, so that the traffic of Dongying has become a landscape, but also a successful case, many cities in China have come here to learn from experience, and even the Japanese have come here to study.
"There can't be more people, it's time to limit the limit!"
Dongying now has 5 million people, and this is because of the economic crisis, which has caused many laid-off and unemployed workers to return to the countryside, and many businessmen who have come here to do business have closed their doors, and the population here has almost reached 6 million before the crisis.
Dongying Mayor Fang Weisheng repeatedly said yes, but his tone was not very sincere.
This mayor is not a local, he is the nephew of Fang Juzan, the owner of Fachang Machinery Factory, the old Fang Juzan is not dead, but he can no longer run a business, so many of his sons and nephews have been promoted to the position of manager, Fang Weisheng has accumulated enough contacts as a factory director a few years ago, and in the past two years, he handed over the factory to the grandson who encouraged Sun Yingde to study in France, and then entered politics.
Since he is in politics, the size of the population of Dongying City means the size of his power, which means the number of seats in the council, and the increase in population at the same time, isn't it a political achievement throughout the ages.
Therefore, Fang Weisheng only dealt with Yang Chao politely, anyway, Yang Chao couldn't stare at Dongying City all day long, even if he stared, he wasn't afraid, he couldn't clean him up because of his political achievements.
"I mean really. If you don't treat it well, the social chaos of the previous two years will come back. You see, the traffic is already more congested now. ā
At this time, it is commuting time, and every tram is not empty, and of course there is no crowding like in later generations, after all, it is designed with a capacity of 10 million. However, the design of 10 million people a few years ago is now somewhat insufficient, because the increase in income and the reduction of electricity prices have made it possible for many people to afford to sit on the tram.
"With the emergence of traffic problems, it brings about a decrease in the overall social efficiency. Although Dongying is now developing in this part of Bohai Bay, Yantai is not far from here, and the two sides still have a competitive relationship. If Dongying is not well managed, it will not take many years to be compared with Yantai, after all, the conditions here are still worse than Yantai. ā
Fang Weisheng nodded yes.
Yang Chao said again: "Whether you can listen to it or not, I will say it all." After all, I still have deep feelings for Dongying, which can be said to be my second hometown. ā
Yang Chao's original secret base was here, and now there is still a team stationed in Dashifang for a long time, operating a number of industries in the north of Yang Chao.
Yang Chao is not alarmist, Dongying here because of the early development, and are wasteland, although the construction of anti-corrosion issues, but the low price is too low, the factory covering a large area is willing to move here, here is the concentration of almost all the textile industry in Shandong Province is the reason.
But in the final analysis, there is still a gap between the location advantage here and Yantai, where Yantai looks at Dalian in the north, Japan and South Korea in the east, and is a natural harbor, a port city that has been open for more than half a century, whether it is the heritage or the foundation, it is much better than Dongying. As long as there are no mistakes, there is no doubt about the development potential. Now because of the complete port facilities, Qingdao has always been pressed to the bottom over the years, which is a good proof.
"Let's go, let's go to Lijin County!"
Didn't stay on the street for a long time, sat in the car and walked around casually, Yang Chao ordered.
The driver immediately drove Yang Chao's Maybach and turned around and headed west out of the city.
Lijin County is only about 30 kilometers away from Dongying, but compared with Dongying, it is simply not a world city, the county seat is quite dilapidated, you can still see the complete city wall, a large shack between the moat outside the city wall, not a refugee area, but some local stalls, selling tea, selling tofu brains and the like.
Yang Chao knew that in many counties in Shandong, such as Weixian, the urban area had already broken through the city wall and expanded several times to the suburbs, and the city wall often became an abandoned old city.
I don't want Lijin County to be so dilapidated, the county magistrate of Lijin is a local landlord surnamed Liu, how to choose the county magistrate Yang Chao doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know.
When the county magistrate received the news that Yang Chao was coming, he was very nervous, he was a small rural county magistrate, how could he have seen such a big man.
When Yang Chao's motorcade passed through the city gate, the county magistrate had been waiting for two hours, and his most important government affairs today was to wait for Yang Chao, and all other official duties were shirked, including his favorite Qinglou entertainment.
When the convoy stopped, he saw the front and rear doors open, surrounding the scene, and immediately hurried over, revealing his identity and being taken to the middle car by a soldier.
The car door opened, and after County Magistrate Liu saw the young face that was not like talking, and sure enough, it was the same face that he often saw in newspapers and New Year's paintings, and he couldn't help but bend his legs and was about to kneel.
Yang Chao immediately snorted: "County Magistrate Liu let the people outside disperse." ā
The reason why Yang Chao's convoy stopped here and the soldiers were nervous was precisely because there were a large number of people gathered here at the city gate, including businessmen, officials, and more young students, and the most eye-catching were more than 20 female students holding flowers.
Yang Chao, who has experienced assassination, is not allowed to be close to the people, at least his guard brigade commander will never agree, even if he beats him, he will not allow Yang Chao to get out of the car.
County Magistrate Liu nodded his head again and again, and his fat body ran over at unimaginable speed, roaring loudly, and soon the crowd dispersed.
County Magistrate Liu came over again to ask for help, was invited by Yang Chao to get into the car, and circled Lijin County several times together.
The streets in the city are poor, the main street is full of potholes, and the other streets are dirt roads.
There is no decent industry in the city, that is, some shops, usually buy local products from Lijin County, and many of them are sent to Dongying City for sale.
"The development of Lijin County is not good!"
Yang Chao looked around and sighed.
County Magistrate Liu smiled embarrassedly: "Humble and shallow, embarrassed to take on a big responsibility, I'm sorry for Lijin's father." ā
Fang Weisheng, the mayor of Dongying, who was sitting in the co-pilot, had a smug face.
Yang Chao was very keen to grasp this detail, and secretly said in his heart, it is precisely because of the vicinity of Dongying that Lijin County cannot develop, not to mention that the distance from the big city is an advantage, there is no certain administrative mediation and planning, in fact, it is the biggest disadvantage, because the investment will not come, you say that you are very close to Dongying, so why don't investors go directly to Dongying to invest?
Cheap and cheap?
Everywhere in Dongying is saline-alkali land, and it has long been occupied by Yang Chao and given to the Dongying Municipal Government for development.
"But your school here is good. Along the way, I met five schools. ā
County Magistrate Liu only then had a little face: "My lord praises falsely, I don't dare to take credit, I don't dare to take credit." The lowly office was only built in three schools, two of which were left over from the previous dynasty. ā
Before the development of Dongying, Lijin County was the boss of this area, and the Qing government saw a primary school and a higher primary school in Lijin County.
"Where does the money come from? Lijin County's finances may be coped? ā
Yang Chao asked, he has always been very concerned about education, the compulsory education presided over by Pan Xun has been promoted throughout the country, the eradication of illiteracy has been carried out for so many years, to say the least, 20 million illiterates, plus education and training, among China's 500 million people, at least 100 million are now literate, and the enrollment rate of school-age young people has basically reached eighty percent, except for some remote areas, the construction of compulsory education has basically been completed.
However, in a poor county like Lijin County, one or two primary schools are indispensable, and the central government will definitely subsidize them, but if they build five schools, they must not all be funded by the central government.
County Magistrate Liu seemed to be waiting to ask, and replied very happily: "The lowly family does not dare to be greedy for merit, and the lowly family has set up a school, one of which is donated by the squire of the county, and the other is donated by the Chamber of Commerce." ā
Yang Chao understood that this family must be a rich man, and he set up a school to make political achievements.
So I stopped talking about it.
The key to this trip is the economic problem, don't worry about a city like Dongying, the volume will grow spontaneously when it reaches that point, as long as it doesn't mess around, it will definitely develop, but the surrounding small and medium-sized cities need support.
"I don't know what County Magistrate Liu has to do a good job in the economy of Lijin County?"
This question made County Magistrate Liu big, because he really didn't know how to answer, and the reason why Yang Chaolai was worried in his heart was that he was afraid that Yang Chao would ask this question, this was his death point.
"Humble position, only shallow learning, embarrassed to take on a big responsibility!"
County Magistrate Liu can only find this excuse.
Yang Chao sighed: "County Magistrate Liu is polite. On the edge of a city like Dongying, it is both lucky and unfortunate. The key is to be able to make good use of it. ā
County Magistrate Liu nodded violently: "What the adults said is true." ā
Yang Chao continued: "Dongying is on your side, and investment and talent can't compete with it. So there's no need to think about fighting hard, the key is to put yourself in a good position. Dongying is on the edge of Lijin, is this also beneficial? At least Dongying is a big market, and Lijin has to find a way to get a piece of the pie. Profit from the development of Dongying. ā
County Magistrate Liu can only pat himself on the back and don't understand it at all.
When the mayor of Dongying heard that he wanted to share the benefits of Dongying, his ears were pricked up.
Yang Chao explained: "Dongying is a kind of megacity, there are a lot of opportunities, in his advantageous industries, there can be no competitors around, so Lijin, as the closest county to Dongying, must find a way to complement Dongying and dig out gold from the place where Dongying can't start." ā
County Magistrate Liu continued to be submissive.
Yang Chao knew that anyone would say this kind of big truth, and he had to find a specific way for them to implement it.
The solution is ready-made, and there are many examples in later generations.
"Therefore, Lijin County should position itself as a subsidiary city of Dongying and improve supporting services and production for him."
Maybe he felt that his performance was too bad and was anxious to perform, but County Magistrate Liu suddenly realized.
exaggerated: "The lowly position understands, and the adult's words are like an initiation, which makes the lowly position suddenly open." If the people of Dongying want to eat, we will sell them grain, and if the people of Dongying want to build houses, we will dig sand in the Yellow River and sell it to them. ā
Yang Chao snorted: "These things have been done by the merchants, I guess you are doing it now." ā
County Magistrate Liu was suddenly embarrassed, he didn't expect his cleverness to be broken by Yang Chao, he thought that Yang Chao couldn't know too much in such a small place as Lijin.
Unexpectedly, Yang Chao continued: "It's okay to sell grain and vegetables, this digging sand, I'm afraid that there are swimming children drowned every year, right?" ā
This made County Magistrate Liu panic, and even the drowned person knew it, which showed that Yang Chao was staring at Lijin County, so I am afraid that the bad things he did had already been known by the superiors, and he thought that what he did was secret, and no one paid attention to it.
"Adults forgive their sins, and it is difficult to escape the blame for their humble duties."
County Magistrate Liu immediately pleaded guilty.
Yang Chao waved his hand: "Whether the crime is punished or not, it is not my business." Suffice it to say that we are taking a long-term view. Of course, these things like growing grain and selling vegetables are good things, because the citizens of Dongying can't do it themselves, and they can't do it. If they can't do it, what you can do, then make great efforts to do it, and grasp the Dongying market as much as possible in your hands, so that the money earned by Dongying people will also share with you. ā
"That's what the adults say, that's what they say."
Yang Chao saw that he still didn't understand, so he said, "What is the biggest industry in Dongying?" ā
"Spinning!"
Fang Weisheng in front immediately replied.
"That's right, it is impossible for the upstream and downstream Dongying of a textile industry to eat clean. You're so close that you have a chance to get a piece of the pie. For example, if they weave, you can make clothes, buy their cloth and make clothes and sell them to them. ā
"Yes, yes!"
County Magistrate Liu catered to him.
Fang Weisheng's brain turned, buy Dongying's cloth to make clothes, and then make Dongying people's money, how can there be such a cheap thing, he remembered, the next step should be to make great efforts to engage in the garment industry, it seems that Shanghai has done a good job in the past two years, the high-quality fabrics produced in Dongying are sold to Shanghai, and Shanghai people make fashionable clothes and sell them back at a high price, which is not cost-effective.
"It's just a plan, and it takes a lot of effort to make it happen. Zhang Nian, write it down, summarize it. This is common in Lijin County, Fushan County next to Yantai City. Jiaozhou County next to Qingdao City is an example, where Jiaozhou may be worse than Lijin. ā
"Being next to a super city, there is no way to do it, so you have to find a way for yourself, but first of all, you have to correct your position, know which ones you can fight for, and which ones can only be eaten between other people's teeth, and make money, don't you chill!"
This is Yang Chao's positioning of small cities near big cities, supporting and affiliated cities, and it is also the only way to develop the county economy in China now. (To be continued.) )
