Lu Zhengdong's deafening words made several people in the car fall into thought, even Sun Zhiyang was chewing on the meaning of Lu Zhengdong's words, as an economic official, he is naturally different from the common people, he also knows very well that there are ups and downs is the most basic market law, and he also knows that chasing up and down has always been the habit of the Chinese people, and they like to rush up, and such a habit will further push up the already hot industry, leading to excess.

But for these two industries, there seems to be no such signs, especially in the real estate industry, many people believe that the domestic real estate industry has just started, and it is a matter of decades before housing prices turn around.

Although Sun Zhiyang is not so optimistic, in his opinion, housing prices have indeed risen very sharply, and such a rapid rise is definitely impossible to continue, but in his opinion, it is a bit exaggerated to continue to rise for decades, but it should be no problem for housing prices to continue for ten or twenty years.

But in Lu Zhengdong's view, housing prices will fluctuate in a few years, Lu Zhengdong is by no means unbelievable, there is some truth, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, the country's first-tier cities, housing prices are very high, that is a strong capital as a basis, as a city, there is no strong enough to support other industries as a backing, with some gimmicks to build buildings, it is easy to have problems, this, in fact, many people can see, but many times, will be blinded by the prosperity in front of them, the so-called one handsome covers a hundred ugly, It was only when it collapsed that it suddenly woke up, and it was indeed too late by then.

Moreover, Long Beach is the place where Lu Zhengdong made his career, and Lu Zhengdong poured cold water on the development of Long Beach, which must be his most true thoughts. Lu Zhengdong certainly does not want the development of Long Beach to take a detour. Or unnecessary setbacks.

Lu Zhengdong did have such considerations. After the strategy for the large-scale development of the western region was proposed, the principal leaders of Long Beach were too enthusiastic about resources and real estate, while their input and interest in industry, agriculture, and the tertiary industry had obviously declined, and this was a very dangerous signal.

As a prefecture-level city, when its housing prices and land prices are on par with Xiyuan or some other surrounding central cities, it means that labor costs, consumption indexes, etc. are also close to such cities, especially the prices of industrial land. It's bound to discourage many investors, and the reason for this is simple: if these are similar to the central cities, why would they go to Long Beach from near and far? After all, the central city still has advantages over Long Beach in many conditions.

Of course, Long Beach has also been seeking a separate plan, Long Beach's economy is going up, and there are not a few cadres who have been promoted from here over the years, but on the whole, there is a gap with their expectations, and in their opinion, Long Beach has left other cities behind them far behind. It can even challenge Nishihara, but as an ordinary prefecture-level city. For many people in Long Beach, they hope that Long Beach can be included in the list of cities with separate planning status or sub-provincial cities, and the secretary of the municipal party committee must also be listed as a member of the Standing Committee of the provincial party committee.

Cities with separate planning status appeared in the early 80's to allow some large cities to be separately listed in the state plan, and these large cities enjoy the economic management authority at the provincial level, rather than at the provincial administrative level, and the purpose of establishing cities with separate planning status is to solve the problem of dividing the economy from the urban and rural areas, and gradually explore a way to develop the economy by relying on the economic zones relying on the big cities, and appropriately separating the government from the economy.

Cities separately designated in the plan have not fundamentally changed their administrative subordination to the province, and are still under the leadership of the province in terms of overall planning, service, coordination, and supervision, and the contents of the separate plan are mainly industrial and agricultural production, transportation, post and telecommunications, investment in fixed assets, purchase, sale, and distribution of major commodities, distribution and allocation of energy and major materials, import and export of foreign trade, local quotas of foreign exchange, labor wages, financial credit, science and technology, and various indicators of social development plans. The revenue and expenditure of cities specifically designated in the state plan are directly linked to the central government, and the central and local finances are divided between the central and local finances, and there is no need to hand over to the provincial finance.

At the beginning of the establishment of the city with separate planning status, there was no clear explanation of the administrative level. However, it has gradually formed the practice that the chief officers of the four major groups are at the deputy provincial level.

In the 10 years since '93, the number of cities with independent planning status and sub-provincial cities has basically ceased to increase, but in recent years, there has been a call for the increase in the number of cities with independent planning status and sub-provincial cities that have been frozen.

Long Beach City also wants to take advantage of the easterly development of the western region to upgrade its own city, and there is no precedent for taking advantage of the east wind, for example, with the help of the Three Gorges Project, all cities have become municipalities directly under the central government.

In fact, Long Beach is thinking too much, not to mention that there is still a gap between Long Beach and some developed prefecture-level cities in the east, even if it is impossible to keep pace with each other.

Such a system was originally a product of the period of the planned economy, and played a specific role in a specific period, but after all, it was a product of the planned economy, and on the whole, the state not only did not intend to increase it, but on the contrary, it figured out that the short-term goal of rationally dividing the management responsibilities and powers of the central government and local economic and social affairs was to gradually abolish the cities with separate planning status.

Lu Zhengdong knew that when he arrived in Long Beach, people from all walks of life in Long Beach would talk to him about the oil refining project and the things that were listed separately in the plan, so he poured cold water on them first and lowered his expectations.

Of course, there are not many people who can say this about the development of Long Beach, the Xihe Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government can say so, but Xihe will not talk about it now, and he is one of the people in the period of rapid development of Long Beach.

Long Beach City has just been re-elected, and the new municipal party committee is also full of ambition and a little hot-headed, Lu Zhengdong also knows that his words will soon be known by Xihe Province and Long Beach, and this is what he wants, and Lu Zhengdong also makes them calm and calm in this way.

No matter what Lu Zhengdong thought, Lu Zhengdong returned to Long Beach, as the youngest county magistrate at that time, and a few years later, he had been promoted to the rank of deputy minister, which still caused a lot of sensation, especially with him and his mother who worked and lived together in the bristle factory, and acquaintances talked about each other.

Lu Zhengdong was born and grew up in Sri Lanka, and he also felt very cordial about returning to Long Beach, he has not returned to Long Beach in the past few years, in fact, it is not that he has no time, but he is unwilling to bring some unnecessary negative impacts, after all, too many people know their own situation, if they return to Long Beach in a high-profile manner, it will inevitably cause some people in the province to have different thoughts in their hearts.

After getting out of the car, the people in Long Beach were already waiting, although it had been seven or eight years since he was transferred out of Long Beach, Lu Zhengdong still found many familiar faces in the crowd of greetings.

Sun Zhiyang looked at many cadres who were familiar with Lu Zhengdong very excited, which made him a little envious, he was also a person from the prefecture and city, but to say that he was able to completely start the relationship with his former colleagues, and now he has completely opened the relationship, it is estimated that those people can only be in awe when they see him, like so cordial, he thinks he can't do it. Of course, everyone's work style is different, you can't say that you are in harmony with the cadres in the team, it means that you are capable, and if you have conflicts with your colleagues, you have a defective personality.

In the morning, we inspected the development of environmental protection and new energy industries, focusing on the third phase of the sewage treatment project in Long Beach and the new waste incineration plant, as well as a new foreign-funded enterprise introduced by Long Beach last year.

The afternoon time is also very full, after a short rest in Long Beach, the afternoon to inspect the Long Beach Economic Development Zone and container terminal.

The Changtan Economic Development Zone is now focusing on the introduction of Linquan Group, the largest polysilicon enterprise in China, and tomorrow it will specially inspect the return of farmland to forests and listen to special reports.

Lu Zhengdong was quite interested, from recycling to garbage classification, to the development of the development zone, and the use of the operation system of the newly invested container terminal, he listened very carefully to the introduction.

In recent years, Long Beach has still made quite good profits in attracting investment due to its early start.

As the largest polysilicon company in China and the second largest in Asia, it can invest in the largest domestic production enterprise to layout, which further consolidates Long Beach's unshakable dominant position in the new energy industry.

And because of his relationship, under the company of the first and second batch of Hong Kong and Taiwan enterprises he introduced, foreign capital from Hong Kong and Taiwan has entered Long Beach rapidly in recent years, which Lu Zhengdong is quite pleased with, Long Beach has not abolished the good foundation he has laid, which Lu Zhengdong is also full of praise.

In addition, Long Beach has a faint leading atmosphere of domestic environmental protection equipment and clean energy production, and the relatively complete and good investment environment and increasingly sound credit system also make the financing channels here more convenient than any inland city, and also make many foreign companies willing to settle here......

Although Lu Zhengdong was very interested, the two main leaders of the Long Beach Municipal Party Committee were up and down in their hearts, and Lu Zhengdong's words in the car that came, the executive deputy mayor had already made a report to the two, and the two also hurriedly asked Sun Zhiyang, but they didn't get anything useful.

Therefore, while Lu Zhengdong and Sun Zhiyang were resting, the two found Jiang Yonghang, the head of the economic group of the Western Affairs Office, who accompanied Lu Zhengdong to investigate.

This time, Lu Zhengdong came out with Jiang Yonghang from the economic group, Ji Wenchang from the agriculture and forestry group, and Zhang Fawei from the research room. , a deputy director was not so big, and the three director-level figures also participated in the West China Expo, so they naturally accompanied the inspection.

Lu Zhengdong doesn't have a good impression of Jiang Yonghang, mainly because Jiang Yonghang is a bit arrogant, so he used to knock Jiang Yonghang on the approval of characteristic industrial projects, and now this guy is much more honest.

Zhou Jiyong, secretary of the municipal party committee of Long Beach, and Wen Qinshan, director of the department, naturally didn't know about the festival, and among the three of them, Jiang Yonghang had dealt with him, and they were acquaintances, so they naturally found him.
