Section 388 Hanshi Public Housing
During negotiations with the British. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The capable team under Yang Chao has also been formed.
In terms of industry, Li Fuan's Industrial Bureau was used as the team, and the team of the Dongying Municipal Bureau was also recruited.
Dongying City has completed a large-scale municipal transformation and cultivated a large number of talents in urban planning and construction.
Yang Chao put forward new tasks for these people.
"The provincial capitals of Kaifeng, Xi'an, Chengdu, Guangzhou and other eighteen provinces need to be planned, pay attention to the protection of ancient buildings, and try to keep the city wall intact, and if necessary, you can open holes in the city wall. After all, we are an ancient country, and there should be ancient buildings everywhere. But it also can't affect modern transportation. ”
"In addition, Suzhou, Wuxi, Zhengxian, Chongqing and other populous cities must also be planned, and all those with a population of more than 100,000 must be planned and transformed."
"It's based on Dongying, but it has to be redesigned, after all, those cities are different from Dongying, Dongying is developed on a barren beach, and there is no demolition."
"But the requirements are the same, you have to plan in advance, the provincial capitals are planned on the basis of the size of 5 million people, the streets should be widened and widened, and if there is no water supply and drainage system, it must be built. Chongqing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Wuhan, and Shanghai, I think they should be planned according to the scale of 10 million people. ”
Yang Chao's ambitious plans one after another put pressure on the administrative staff of Dongying City.
"I'm afraid that your manpower is not enough, don't worry about boldly recruiting people, even if there are 10,000 people, it is not too much, China is not enough, can you still go to foreign countries to recruit, Japan is very good, their civil engineering and construction talents, no less than we are now."
In fact, after taking control of Japan, Yang Chao got the greatest benefit from Japan, not the indemnity, not the transfer of the shipbuilding industry that Japan had cultivated for 30 years, but the talent strength that Japan had accumulated for 30 years.
Now you can rest assured and bold to hire Japanese technicians, the Japanese government is also happy to send these labor services to China to earn foreign exchange, which can be described as mutually beneficial, with the supplement of Japanese technical personnel, Zhan Tianyou's railway company engineering strength has at least doubled, textile, silk reeling and other industrial fields, the technical level has also been raised to a higher level.
It should not be difficult to recruit hundreds or thousands of Japanese local wood engineering talents in the construction field, after all, the foundation of the Japanese technical colleges is still very strong, and Japan's post-war reconstruction has trained a large number of experienced engineers.
"There are not enough Japanese, are there still Germans, there are a lot of talents from Germany recently, and it's a pity not to use them."
German talents from Germany who come to China to seek work are constantly pouring into Qingdao through a large number of German-funded enterprises in Qingdao, and talents from all walks of life are available. Although China is now in an economic crisis, it is still much better than the defeated Germany, at least in China, experienced technicians are not a problem to eat well.
Leaving the task to the Dongying Municipal Bureau, they quickly found enough experienced talents, whether it was the Germans in Qingdao, or the Japanese, they were recruited very close and did not take much time.
Then they began to divide the project team and went to all parts of the country, and now the major cities are conducting field surveys, measuring the data and making reasonable planning.
It takes a lot of time to plan a city, it can take a few months to a year, so Yang Chao can't wait for all their plans to be done before they start to act, and it is urgent to boost the economy, and the sooner they start to recover, they will enjoy the prosperity sooner, and this boom period will end in 1929, and Yang Chao doesn't want to waste even a day.
So he asked the engineering teams of each project team to prioritize the land used as residential areas, and he told them that he would build a huge project to build rental houses that could accommodate 10 million people in major cities across the country.
Yang Chao turned his big project into a public housing project for the Hanshi, which was taken from Du Fu's poem "There are tens of thousands of mansions in Ande, and the poor people in the world are happy", building cheap public housing to make the poor people in the world happy.
Yang Chao doesn't plan to build some rotten houses, but to use new technology, reinforced concrete buildings. It is also necessary to connect water and electricity, directly connect with urban planning, and step forward with modernization. Yang Chao didn't plan to build it this year and demolish it next year, it will take 50 years, so he still has to adhere to high standards, each public housing building is a 5 to 10-story building, at least 500 houses, which are equipped with elevators, which can accommodate 1,000 people.
In each city, the construction of such a hundred public housing, enough to accommodate 100,000 people, temporarily enough for all the working class to live, through a reasonable layout, these public housing concentrated construction, is equivalent to the direct construction of a community, which is built with supporting schools, hospitals, and then through the widening of roads, access to the tram, the city's functions are basically complete.
So this public housing plan is also an ambitious urbanization plan, but where will the money come from?
Yang Chao plans to build 100 such model communities across the country, each of which costs an average of 100 million taels, which is 10 billion taels, and it is impossible for Yangzi Bank to take it all out at once, and the cash of Yangzi Bank is not for real estate, but for putting it into the industry and promoting production, so financing is very necessary.
Yang Chao intends to issue bonds.
However, there are restrictions on the issuance of bonds in Shanghai, and now it is no longer possible for any company to go up and issue bonds, and it must be approved by the exchange, and the exchange is established by more than 30 large banks and money banks in the Yangzi banking group, and 30 of them form a board of directors, and the issuing power must be approved by the board of directors, and the central bank must give concessions.
At present, there are not many companies that have obtained the issuance of debts through formal channels, and there are only two companies: the railway company and the telegraph and telephone company.
This is a set of strict procedures, although with Yang Chao's influence, he said that he would issue bonds, and the thirty shareholders would basically not object, but Zhang Jiaao's pass was not easy, Yang Chao gave him the power to establish back then, in order to maintain an independent monetary policy, but not a personal factor, so Yang Chao did not intend to destroy Zhang Jiaao's power.
So Yang Chao is willing to go through this set of procedures.
First of all, Yang Chao formulated a detailed plan to prove to the board of directors and foreign banks the long-term profitability of his project, and to prove that his project has the ability to repay debts smoothly.
Although the investment is huge, a community is 100 million taels, but can bring in 100,000 people, Yang Chao does not intend to charge too high rent, with one-third of the minimum wage as the rent, with the daily wage one tael movement, the average monthly income of urban residents is at least 30 taels, one-third is 10 taels, 100,000 people is 1 million taels, a year is 12 million taels.
The fixed rent of 12 million taels is enough to cope with the usury of 12%, and the interest rate of the loan has increased due to the economic crisis, but it will not exceed 9%, and even 3% for a long time at the lowest time, and the interest on government bonds has dropped to 1.5%, so this rental income is enough to maintain the interest payment.
The most critical question is how to attract enough tenants.
"I can't prove it. But I believe we built a good enough house and charged a low enough rent. Taking Shanghai as an example, even the average monthly rent of an ordinary lane house is more than 60 taels of silver per building, and the average monthly income of Shanghai workers is less than 30 taels, so it is impossible for them to afford a house in the city, so what should we do? By the river and by the ditch, shacks are built, there is no clean water, there is no convenient electricity, no one cares for the sick, there is nowhere for the children to go to school, and wild children run around. This time, the Shanghai Municipal Government is determined to plan and provide free land for the Hanshi Public Housing Project, which will be enough for us to build a new city that can accommodate one million people. Of course, these lands are not considered our assets, but as long as we continue to lease public housing, the Shanghai Municipal Government will not take them back. ”
Saying that, Yang Chao took out a document, which was a concession signed by Shanghai Mayor Xie Guanhui, to lend a piece of public land collected by the government to the Hanshi public housing project for construction free of charge, of course, the city of Shanghai signed a detailed agreement with Yang Chao, stipulating that under the condition that the public housing can operate normally, the rent must be affordable for those families with the lowest incomes. If the poorest families can't afford to rent because of low wages in Shanghai, the Shanghai government has offered subsidies so they can live in public housing.
"There are now more than 3 million workers in Shanghai, and the wage labor force in various businesses is also of the same size. With our public housing rents low enough, I believe it is still possible to rent one million people. And if someone can't afford to rent because their income is too low, the Shanghai government will give them a subsidy. Doesn't that guarantee our profitability? ”
Yang Chao said with the agreement signed with the Shanghai government.
The shareholders looked at each other and nodded, and Chairman Li Sidi opened his mouth to ask for a vote.
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
……
Thirty shareholders agreed that even without these things, they would not oppose Yang Chao's issuance of bonds, even if the project had nothing to do with Yangzi Bank, and was a public welfare project.
Hanshi public housing is a non-profit organization, neither will give dividends to shareholders, and a large number of non-profit schools in the United States are of the same nature, not public-owned, but similar to public-owned, self-financing, the United States does not collect taxes on such institutions, Yang Chao set up a public housing project, no one will collect taxes, the procedure is going, approval is not a problem.
The 30 banker shareholders agreed, and now it's up to Zhang Jiaao, who came to listen to the hearing today and listened very carefully.
Everyone else agreed, but he didn't say anything, and for a long time, it seemed that he had made a big decision and opened his mouth to inquire.
"Lord Yang, do you think this project can really afford the debt?"
"There is still no problem in paying the debt."
Yang Chao swore and promised.
Zhang Jiaao didn't need any other explanation, and immediately nodded.
"Then I agree!" (To be continued.) )
