Chapter 6 6. Seek common ground while reserving differences

At Xia Wentian's suggestion, Hong Wenshan agreed to convene a standing committee on the development of Yanzhitun shanty town.Before the meeting, Hong Wenshan asked He Zhendong for his opinion by phone.He Zhendong suggested, "Yanzhitun is a golden treasure land, suitable for commercial development, and affordable housing must not be built on the spot. It would be a pity to build affordable housing on the spot. In fact, the residents of Yanzhitun can be relocated and then resettled by money. , The method is also very simple, whoever develops, who resettles, who benefits. Such a plot adopts the investment promotion method of Heishuihe Stadium, and it will definitely become a leading project that affects Dongzhou's "establishment of the real estate industry."

He Zhendong's suggestion hit Hong Wenshan's heart. Ever since he took office, Hong Wenshan wanted to implement a strategy of "establishing the real estate industry". He fell in love with Jiefang Street and named it "Golden Street and Silver Belt Project".Hong Wenshan believes that cities are like enterprises, and those in power must be good at running them.This expressway runs across the north and south of Dongzhou, and is the backbone of Dongzhou. If this street is built into the most influential commercial street in Asia, it will surely bring Dongzhou's economy out of the slump and become a veritable golden road like Hong Kong Central. corridor.

However, Hong Wenshan never imagined that Xia Wentian could not understand his thoughts, and the two had a fierce dispute.The focus of the dispute is whether the government should "run the city".At the standing committee meeting, Xia Wentian questioned it without hesitation. "Comrade Wenshan, in recent years, some leaders in many cities have talked about 'running the city' and sold state-owned assets and management rights of public utilities in many cities. In some places, the state-owned land has been auctioned off, and there are very few public utilities left , even primary and secondary schools were put up for sale, and "running the city" became a crazy auction of state-owned assets. Obviously, cities are not enterprises, and the concepts and methods of marketing enterprises are not applicable to city management. Because for enterprises, efficiency Maximization is the basic value orientation, and for city managers, any decision must take fairness into account, and important issues must be decided in a democratic way and procedure.”

Xia Wentian's tone was a little excited. In order to control his emotions, he couldn't help but sipped his tea. "Comrade Wen Tian, ​​after the 'Xiao Jia case', Dongzhou's economy once fell into a slump, and foreign businessmen stopped coming. Even the United States listed Dongzhou as a high-risk area for investment. Serious illnesses need strong medicine. I proposed 'operating "City", specifically speaking, is to manage land. Land is the largest stock asset and the greatest wealth in the hands of the government. It is the magic weapon of Dongzhou City's "real estate industry". This is why I do not agree to build affordable housing in the Yanzhitun area. It is absolutely possible to make the residents of Yanzhitun live in affordable housing through land replacement. At the same time, the Yanzhitun What's wrong with doing high-efficiency commercial development in the village and killing two birds with one stone?"

Hong Wenshan said calmly. "Comrade Wenshan, the reason is very simple. 'Management of the city' means that the government of the city manages the city under the relevant laws and regulations after obtaining the authorization of the people of the city. That is to say, the city's The government only has public management authority over the city, and does not have the 'buy and sell' power to 'operate the city'. The government's public management authorization must also accept the supervision of the people of the city. 'Management' and For the government, the two concepts of "management" are exactly the watershed of "doing something and not doing something" in the development of the socialist market economy, and also the watershed between "omnipotent government" and "limited government". Rouge The people in Tun have lived and thrived there for more than 300 years. What reason do we have to let them leave there? My opinion is that the government and the developers must not use the banner of attracting investment for mutual benefit and deprive the people of their ancestors. The right to continue to live on the land. Over the years, in the name of real estate development and public interests, local governments and developers have borrowed land to make money, and have driven all the people living in the city center to the suburbs. Yes, the image of the city has indeed improved. But the city’s culture and personality are also lost. I suggest that Yanzhitun should not only build the largest affordable housing community in Eastern State, but also build a high-grade park in the community, making it a real resort.”

Xia Wentian's tone of tit for tat made Hong Wenshan feel very uncomfortable.Before Hong Wenshan took the post of Secretary of the Dongzhou Municipal Party Committee, Lin Bai, the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, had a special talk with him. Lin Bai’s original intention was to recommend Liu Guangda, the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee to the Central Organization Department, as the Secretary of the Dongzhou Municipal Party Committee. Hong Wenshan, with a seasoned work style, was worried that Xia Wentian would be too bookish. After all, he had been doing economic research at Qingjiang University before becoming the vice-governor of Qingjiang Province. He did not have much practical experience. The city was handed over to Xia Wentian, and Lin Bai was really afraid that Xia Wentian would become Ma Di who lost his street pavilion.Because Dongzhou can't afford to lose anymore, if Dongzhou, the engine that started the province's economic take-off, is turned off, the central government will not only hit the board of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, but more importantly, Qingjiang Province will miss the rare development opportunity. And was left far behind by brother provinces and cities.Therefore, before Hong Wenshan took office, Lin Bai told Hong Wenshan to steer the helm and check the major decisions.

But Lin Bai ignored a very important issue. In Hong Wenshan's political career, he has always been good at party affairs. Although Hong Wenshan has rich political experience, Hong Wenshan is a layman when it comes to economic work. Because of this, Governor Zhao Changzheng strongly recommended Xia Wentian, an economic expert in the prime of his life, as the mayor of Dongzhou City. Lin Bai and Zhao Changzheng even had a dispute over the issue of who to recommend as the secretary of the Dongzhou Municipal Party Committee. , and later spread to Liu Guangda's ears, making Liu Guangda always misunderstand that Lin Bai had prejudice against him.

Hong Wenshan believes that on the issue of how Dongzhou's economy develops, he, as the leader of Dongzhou, must control and steer well. This is undoubtedly a major issue that Comrade Lin Bai asked.Back then, Hong Wenshan, as the deputy head of the "Xiao Jia Major Case" task force, personally investigated Xiao Honglin's case. What shocked Hong Wenshan was that the reason why Xiao Honglin slipped into the abyss of corruption was directly related to the weakness of Wang Yuanzhang, the secretary of the municipal party committee at the time. .At that time, in order to maintain the unity of the team, Wang Yuanzhang blindly tolerated Xiao Honglin's domineering and domineering, which caused Xiao Honglin to set aside the municipal committee to do something else, completely becoming a "self-employed person in the party", and finally led to the "Xiao Jia Corruption Case" that shocked the world. , The lesson is profound and painful!

Hong Wenshan made up his mind that during his term of office, he would never allow voices that were inconsistent with the municipal party committee. For the young and vigorous Xia Wentian, he must restrain his momentum from the very beginning, otherwise he would not be able to do it after a long time. Well, I will become the second Xiao Honglin. Personal heroism is a big taboo for politicians. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. There can only be one core. As the leader of Dongzhou City, I must grasp the overall situation. Just when Hong Wenshan was full of thoughts, the executive deputy mayor Lin Dake interrupted his thoughts.

"I very much agree with Comrade Wen Tian's opinion. I think the real estate development in Dongzhou has exceeded the normal urbanization development track. The large-scale 'city-building movement' not only violates the principle of gradual and orderly urban development, but is even a kind of urban development. In the "Great Leap Forward" of modernization, it is very dangerous to develop real estate so eagerly for quick success and instant benefits, and it will generate a large number of economic bubbles. Once it encounters national macro-control or financial crisis, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, strict land use standards should be formulated for real estate development in Dongzhou. The city’s per capita land occupation, energy consumption, water use, transportation structure, etc. have scientific regulations, and real estate development goals must be formulated according to local conditions. What I mean is that the development of Yanzhitun must be carried out according to the original plan.”

Before Lin Dake finished speaking, Zhao Guoguang, director of the Municipal People's Congress, interrupted his conversation, "Comrades, please don't forget the fact that Dongzhou's economic development is currently the most difficult period, and Comrade Xiaoping said it well. It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat. I think Comrade Wenshan's opinion is very creative. It not only improves the living conditions of residents in Yanzhitun, but also conducts commercial development. The finance can also get a lot of income from land transfers. Why not do it? The government must dare to manage the land. At present, land in many cities has become the second finance. Land is the largest asset among the state-owned assets owned by the government. It is only natural for the government to manage land. Wen Tian, ​​if there is no 'The real estate industry is in full swing', and the finances may not even have enough money to pay civil servants!" Zhao Guoguang's words made Hong Wenshan blush. He was most worried about Zhao Guoguang's opposition to his opinions, because Zhao Guoguang was not only a native of Dongzhou, but also a die-hard ally of the former municipal party secretary Wang Yuanzhang. Wang Yuanzhang fights against injustice. He believes that it is because of leaders like Wang Yuanzhang and Li Weimin in Dongzhou that the achievements of Dongzhou's reform and opening up will not be lost due to the "Xiao Jia case". On the first line, the people of Dongzhou have regretted it so far.Zhao Guoguang has always believed that peer supervision and corruption are weak. Xiao Honglin wants to jump off the building, and Wang Yuanzhang can't stand it anyway. However, Wang Yuanzhang has taken preventive measures within his power. But because of the "Xiao Jia case", he was transferred from Dongzhou and served as the deputy director of the Provincial People's Congress, and he was ranked last.Zhao Guoguang was very dissatisfied with the arrangement of Wang Yuanzhang by the higher-level organization, and was very resistant to Hong Wenshan's succession as the secretary of the Dongzhou Municipal Party Committee.What's more, when Zhao Guoguang was the executive deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, he was in charge of organizational work and had been operating in Dongzhou for decades. whole. What Hong Wenshan never expected was that Zhao Guoguang became the basket to protect the eggs. He lit a cigarette in relief, took a deep breath, and looked around the venue smugly.But Hong Wenshan never expected that Zhou Yongnian, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, would strongly question his views. "Comrade Wenshan and Comrade Guoguang, in the theoretical expressions of the central government's documents on the work of the ruling party and the government, it seems that the term 'running the city' has never appeared. I admire Comrade Wenshan's courage in theoretical innovation, but I think this formulation It is unscientific, and it may encourage the phenomenon of "individualization between government and enterprises" and damage the market order. The term "running the city" seems to be very compatible with the market economy at first glance, but in fact, it is directly in line with the inherent requirements of a modern society ruled by law. Contradictory, its "human theory" color and even individual heroism are quite strong. The operators are commonly called "bosses", and the local government keeps talking about "running the city". So Comrades Wenshan and Wentian have become the "bosses" of this city ?In this way, are the general public of Dongzhou the object of management, or even the "commodity" being managed, or the employees of this large "enterprise" in Dongzhou? As the saying goes, "the shopping mall is like a battlefield", the wisdom of the boss, Courage and decision-making are often related to the life and death of an enterprise. According to this reasoning, in a sub-provincial capital with a population of 8 million, the fate of people can only be maintained by the "boss" who "runs the city". Isn't this too absurd ?So I think 'running the city' is just a slogan to commercialize the government. If the city is managed according to this concept, the Dongzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government will become a commercial organization directly involved in economic activities, and become the biggest red star in the city. Top businessmen even become a club for real estate developers. People will ask, is this still the people's government? To be honest, I don't object to the real estate industry becoming one of the pillar industries in Dongzhou, but I am against "real estate industry establishing a city". Why? Because Dongzhou is an important equipment manufacturing base, to revitalize Dongzhou’s economy, regardless of the equipment manufacturing industry, what’s called “real estate industry establishment”? To put it bluntly, the government wants to seek its own interests by selling land. It was explained at the Standing Committee last time, but only comrades Wen Tian and Da Ke agreed, so I can only reserve my opinion. Since the Standing Committee has passed the "real estate industry establishment city", it should be scientifically planned, optimize the allocation of land resources, and not seek the maximum , but for the best, but some comrades still have the idea of ​​the Great Leap Forward in their heads. The most direct consequence is that the real estate prices in Dongzhou skyrocketed, and the real estate prices remained high. Why is this happening? Because the land has become a cash machine for finance, if The government and real estate developers have become a community of interests. May I ask who will safeguard the interests of the people? Do we still need a scientific concept of development? Now we are talking about "running the city". Under the cover of this concept, power is for the people What is used, love is for the people, benefits are for the people, doesn't it become "the power is used by the business, the emotion is for the business, and the profit is for the business"? Can we ** people tolerate such a variation? According to the plan , Yanzhitun is a residential land. The common people have lived there for 300 years. Why can’t they build affordable housing? Comrade Wen Tian’s idea of ​​building a large garden while building Yanzhitun into affordable housing is very good. Call it people-oriented!" Zhou Yongnian's words suddenly made the atmosphere of the audience dignified.Hong Wenshan's complexion suddenly changed from rosy to gray; Xia Wentian's complexion, which had always been dignified, suddenly relaxed. Obviously Xia Wentian was inconvenient to say, but Zhou Yongnian said it for himself, and said it so thoroughly and happily, Xia Wentian took a sip of tea calmly, he knew in his heart that Hong Wenshan would not let it go, he waited for Hong Wenshan's fight back. However, Hong Wenshan was not in a hurry to fight back. He just glanced at Zhang Hongchang, the chairman of the CPPCC. Hong Wenshan was looking for the allies. Suggestions, how to develop Rouge Tun show of hands. Zhang Hongchang was the first to raise his right hand. As a result, Hong Wenshan's views prevailed by one vote. Hong Wenshan announced that he would quickly start the tough battle to transform the huts in Rouge. "Comrades," Hong Wenshan said excitedly, "it's still the same old saying: Seek common ground while reserving differences. Since most comrades agree with my opinion, let's discuss it in private. Walking, monetary resettlement that agrees to monetary resettlement, and housing resettlement that agrees to housing resettlement. My opinion is to demolish one square meter of old house and return one square meter of new house. , after paying off the house payment for the increased area, the property rights will be granted, or micro-loan assistance and other methods will be adopted to take care of the particularly difficult families to live in new houses within their ability. Wen Tian, ​​Da Ke, you will discuss with the Municipal Construction Committee, Planning Committee and other departments Let’s see if we can find a piece of land in Dayu Township, Shifo District, to accommodate the relocated residents of Yanzhitun. I think it will be called Rainbow City. In addition to land replacement, the construction funds will be market-oriented, and the government will provide the bottom line. In a word, in a word, The residents of Yanzhitun must be allowed to live in new residences. I agree with Comrade Wen Tian’s opinion that while building Rainbow City, a park should be built to improve the quality of the residents’ living environment. Tens of thousands of times, the great shelter of the world's underprivileged people are all happy' This eternal swan song will become a reality as soon as possible in Rainbow City." "Comrade Wenshan, I really want to hear your thoughts on how to develop this land after the residents of Yanzhitun have been relocated!" Xia Wentian suppressed his dissatisfaction and said calmly. "Wen Tian, ​​since Dongzhou has formulated a major policy of establishing a city in the real estate industry and put forward a new concept of 'managing the city', it must dare to be the first in the world. I hope to build a seven-star building similar to the Boci Hotel in Dubai in Yanzhitun. star hotel, making it a landmark building in Dongzhou." As soon as Hong Wenshan uttered the words, the venue was full of sighs, because everyone knew that the Boci Hotel in Dubai was the highest star-rated and most luxurious hotel in the world. Some of the people here followed Hong Wenshan to the United Arab Emirates to attract business, and they all witnessed the splendor of the Dubai Boci Hotel .The hotel is built on an artificial island on the seashore. It is a sailboat-shaped tower building with a total of 56 floors and a height of 321 meters. The luxury of Boci Hotel exceeds all people's imagination about luxury. After Xia Wentian heard this, he smiled helplessly and said, "Old Hong, if you take command, I believe that Dongzhou will be able to produce oil sooner or later!" The members of the Standing Committee laughed out loud.Hong Wenshan knew that Xia Wentian was mocking him, so he forced a smile on his face.
