Chapter 509: Let's Make a Bet

The place close to the suburbs in the Tiebei District of Chuncheng has always been a hilly terrain with undulating terrain, which is not close to the bustling city center, and is not very suitable for agricultural geological conditions, so it is very barren compared to other places.

Not long after the lively Spring Festival, with the stationing of a large number of construction vehicles and personnel, these barren mountains and mountains in Tiebei District, which were almost not popular in the past, suddenly became lively and extraordinary.

The long-planned renovation project of the shantytown in Chuncheng has officially begun, which is also the beginning of the expansion project of Chuncheng New Town to some extent, and the establishment of a huge economic residential housing new city that can accommodate nearly 100,000 households, and its impact has been far beyond the local area of Spring City.

Chen Youwei's initial proviso to the commercial real estate development of the Gu Group was originally only spread on a small scale, and from the initial feedback from all parties, the interest of several large real estate companies on Hong Kong Island, including the Gu Group, was uneven.

The Gu Group, which has a close relationship with Chen Youwei, has a great interest in the upcoming renovation of the shantytown in Chuncheng for a long-term reason, but those like the Gu family are more focused on more profitable commercial real estate projects and do not show much movement.

Such a situation was completely expected by Chen Youwei at the beginning, which is why he still insisted on his opinion in the face of many doubts when such a large-scale shantytown renovation project was discussed at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee.

No matter how many doubts there were, in the face of a young mayor who had never made a mistake in his economic development, the major project on shantytown renovation was finally successfully passed.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the young mayor himself has a very resolute attitude to promote such a project, even the huge project with a total cost of more than tens of billions can also make everyone who has a heart flutter.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it's meat!

Besides, according to the young mayor's thinking, if you want to gain a foothold in the huge commercial real estate in Spring City, there is no certain proportion of affordable housing supporting projects, and it is simply impossible to successfully win the coveted commercial real estate project.

The commercial real estate development projects in the Spring City Central Business District have been carried out so far, and the huge profits it has brought to many real estate companies involved in the first commercial real estate projects in Spring City are simply eye-catching. With a total area of more than 20 square kilometers in the central business district, it is absolutely inconceivable that it will take more than three to five years to continue development and construction.

With the completion of some of the first commercial projects in the central business district, including the ancient tower district of Tiexi District, not to mention that the average land price and housing prices in the central business district have risen as if they were rolling, even the average price of commercial housing in Spring City has also increased significantly.

As long as you are not a fool, you can know that with the completion of the main project of the Chuncheng Central Business District, the future urban upgrading of the entire Chuncheng will be more continuous. In other words, from now on, if we do not seize the climax of the city's upgrading in the next few years, it is very difficult to say that we want to have such an exciting golden development period in the future.

Several major real estate developers on Hong Kong Island have not all entered the market, which is actually a good thing in Chen Youwei's view, which can give local builders in Spring City some opportunities to enhance their own strength, and as the mayor of Spring City, maybe some of the pressure on him will be relatively small.

Chen Youwei's figure appeared at the site of the shantytown reconstruction project, and soon the person in charge of the project came forward.

Asked Zhao Xiaowen to bring a safety helmet from the scene, Chen Youwei asked the person in charge in front of him with great interest: "Which company are you from?" ”

"Report to the leader, we are from the Hong Kong Island Gu Group!" The person in charge replied cautiously.

"Oh? Gu Mingfei is an old acquaintance of mine, isn't he in Spring City? Chen Youwei said with a smile.

The person in charge breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said with a smile: "He was there when the project started a few days ago, and now he should have gone to other places." ”

"Listen to the accent, are you from Shannan?" Chen Youwei looked at the other party seriously.

"Yes, our engineering team is all from Shannan...... the person in charge smiled honestly: "We all know the name of Mayor Chen, you came out of Yicheng in the first place!" ”

"Then we're still fellow countrymen!"

Chen Youwei chuckled, he had some feelings for Shannan, and he subconsciously had a good impression of the other party: "There are a lot of Shannan people working abroad, and they can endure hardships and are very capable, it seems that I am looking forward to the quality of the project here!" ”

The person in charge was in his forties, and he patted his chest proudly and said: "That's natural, a good knife is used on the blade, this is what our President Gu personally ordered us!" ”

Chen Youwei walked around the expensive construction site accompanied by that person, nodded and said: "The community that your Gu Group is responsible for can accommodate almost 10,000 households, and the pressure on you is not small, can you ensure that it is completed within the construction period?" ”

The person in charge said in a firm tone: "We have rich experience in such large-scale projects in Yicheng and Hezhou, as long as the funds are sufficient, there is absolutely no problem!" ”

"That's good!"

Chen Youwei patted the man who was obviously a little excited and said with a smile: "The problem of funds, as long as you strictly follow the construction schedule, the appropriation of our municipal government will definitely arrive in time, as for other things, it is your boss Gu's business!" ”

With the enthusiastic villagers of Nashannan who said goodbye, Chen Youwei drove to inspect other shantytown reconstruction projects that were in full swing. The overall situation still makes him satisfied, as for some small flaws found, it is enough to urge Li Guoqiang, the deputy mayor in charge of urban construction, to supervise him.

"Mayor, the basic situation of the shantytown project is still good, if everything goes well, it is estimated that the first batch of affordable housing will be able to move in in large numbers next summer."

Li Guoqiang continued to stay in office at the National People's Congress at the end of last year, and his career with some uncertain prospects lasted for several years, which made him a little gray-haired and full of energy.

"Well, the average price of commercial housing in Spring City has exceeded 3,005 at the end of last year, and according to the current development rhythm of Spring City, it is definitely not unthinkable to break through 4,000 or even 4,005 this year."

Sitting in the Hongqi car returning to the city, Chen Youwei took out a cigarette and handed it over, and he also lit one and shook his head and said: "This kind of price is indeed a bit too high for most ordinary citizens in Spring City who are still just solving the problem of food and clothing. Without the introduction of affordable housing, I am afraid that buying a new house that they can satisfy them will be a long way off. ”

Li Guoqiang nodded and said: "Yes, especially those employees of state-owned enterprises who have just been extricated from difficulties and are about to get out of difficulties, those housing prices of two or three hundred thousand yuan or even higher can only discourage them." ”

"The housing reform carried out last year is only the first step, which is to use monetary methods to make this housing problem, which is related to the vital interests of every worker, clear and clear."

Chen Youwei puffed lightly on the smoke ring and muttered: "If we really want to solve the housing problem of millions of ordinary workers in our Spring City, if our government department does not have a very proper top-level design, it is far from enough to rely on those citizens with meager incomes. ”

"I think the mayor's proposal that all affordable housing should not be listed for 10 years once it is purchased and moved in is very correct!" Li Guoqiang's ability to Chen Youwei is far from being as simple as appreciating, and it is okay to say that he worships.

Chen Youwei nodded quietly and said: "For the construction of affordable housing now, our municipal government has made a lot of financial subsidies. The reason why such a large-scale plan to subsidize the workers of existing state-owned enterprises came out is that it is more from the height of history to make up for the vast number of workers who have made great contributions to the construction of New China in the past. From this point of view, this kind of affordable housing with obvious compensation is still quite different from those commercial houses that can be directly listed and traded. ”

"I think that if so many employees of state-owned enterprises are allowed to live in a new and bright new home, let alone ten years, I am afraid that they may not have the idea of selling their houses for a lifetime!" Li Guoqiang thought of the miserable appearance of the shantytown now, and shook his head slightly.

"That's not necessarily, the affordable housing we designed still has obvious restrictions in terms of size and area, and compared with those commercial houses, all affordable housing areas cannot exceed 80 square meters. Such a standard may seem to be not low now, but if it is really more than ten years later, when people look back, with the continuous improvement of living standards, they will feel that maybe it is time to change to a more comfortable house! Chen Youwei shook his head slightly, such a thing seemed to him to be a certainty.

Li Guoqiang was a little confused, and asked in surprise: "Then won't we have to demolish so many affordable houses that we have built now?" ”

"That's not necessary, the most obvious feature of modern countries in the era of industrialization is urbanization! Perhaps by that time, our Spring City will be much larger than it is now, and a large number of outsiders will be able to fill the seemingly outdated affordable housing at any time. Chen Youwei looked at the thoughtful Li Guoqiang and smiled: "Or, Mayor Guoqiang, let's make a bet?" ”

Li Guoqiang waved his hand again and again with a smile: "Who doesn't know that you Mayor Chen's level of power, let alone me, I'm afraid even the most powerful economist will not dare to compete with you!" I'd better forget it, right? ”

"The current development momentum of our Spring City is very good, and we must seize this favorable opportunity to use our current favorable resources to do as many projects as possible related to people's livelihood."

Chen Youwei snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, opened the car window slightly, let the cold breeze blow the somewhat turbid air, and said quietly: "This is not only for the so-called face project, but also for the personal life of those citizens who live at the bottom of the society." ”

Li Guoqiang was very aware of the broad feelings of the young mayor in front of him, and nodded: "The mayor is right, we can't just focus on those glamorous projects, and the development of the city must allow more people to benefit from it!" ”

"Yes, only by letting every citizen in the city clearly feel the benefits of the reform, and allowing each of them to experience the dividends of the reform that are related to their quality of life, can they really have more firm confidence and support for the great cause we are now undertaking!" Chen Youwei's eyes were bright, and he sighed resolutely.
