Chapter 393
One day later.
Mayor Cai organized a special meeting, summoned the relevant deputy mayors in charge, as well as key departments such as the Land and Resources Bureau, Planning Bureau, and Development and Reform Bureau to discuss the city's industrial layout.
One of the important topics was to study the supply of land to support the construction of Schindler Group's global headquarters.
As for which piece of land should be given, everyone had different opinions.
Some people suggested leaning towards the northeast, so that it would be convenient to connect with Shanghai in the future and share high-quality resources.
Others suggested leaning towards the southeast, which is closer to the airport and has a large area and few people, which is just right for development.
"I remember there is a piece of vacant land over there on Binjiang Road, nearly 1,000 acres, close to the highway, convenient transportation, and an industrial park can be built there."
"Mayor Cai, the piece of land you mentioned is a Feng Shui treasure land. I don't know how many companies want to take it for development. Even e-commerce companies have said that it would be too hasty to give it to Schindler Group, which has only been established for two years. What if they collapse in a few years..."
The director of the Land and Resources Bureau was the first to jump out and make suggestions. Cai Dongfeng had long known that he had a good relationship with Ma Jieke of the e-commerce department.
Then, the director of the Planning Bureau also jumped out and said anxiously: "Mayor Cai, that piece of land is right next to the Qiantang River, and there is a tourist resort within one kilometer. It has great potential. If it is used for real estate development, it can be sold for nearly 10 billion. If it is sold for industrial use, it will be several hundred million. It is too wasteful for the municipal government's finances..."
The land and planning department took the lead, and other participants also raised objections. The deputy mayor in charge also disagreed with this plan.
Mayor Cai pondered for a moment and asked the director of the Planning Bureau: "Real estate industry and urban industry, which do you think is better?"
Seeing that the director of the Planning Bureau did not speak, he said lightly: "Don't be restrained, everyone here can speak freely. Today's industrial development meeting is a good opportunity for us to analyze and discuss."
"Well... I think in the short term, real estate is definitely better. Nearly 10 billion fiscal revenue can solve many problems and can be used to improve many people's livelihood issues."
"Industry is generally energy-intensive and highly polluting. We in Lin'an must take the path of high-quality green development. It is best to layout industry far away from the urban area."
"I think what Lao Chen from the Development and Reform Bureau said makes sense. In my opinion, the land by the river is more suitable for real estate development."
...
Amidst the various opinions, Cai Dongfeng was very disappointed. He felt that there was no one with a long-term vision. Just as he was about to get angry, he saw Director Feng of the Commerce Bureau speak.
"Everyone, I have a different opinion. I think real estate is a one-time deal. After the land is sold, it will not generate any income for the government within 70 years. But it is different to engage in industry. If you pay taxes every year, it will be like a golden goose laying eggs."
"And from my understanding, urban industry is a low-pollution and high-quality industry. We should develop high-tech industries for the future. If we strictly control the types of industries introduced into the park, we can achieve green innovation and development."
"To a certain extent, if the park is established, a large number of highly educated and high-income people will gather in the park. Their demand for buying houses will drive the value of surrounding land to rise, which is equivalent to building a nest on the phoenix tree, which can attract more golden phoenixes to come in..."
Director Feng said a lot of things, and Cai Dongfeng was more and more satisfied as he listened. He felt that this guy was simply his mouthpiece.
I didn't expect that this comrade who has always been low-key has such good vision and insight. It seems that it is a waste to put him in the Commerce Bureau.
But after Director Feng finished speaking, someone immediately stood up to refute him, saying that the future is uncertain and that many birds in the forest are not as good as a bird in the hand.
The discussion gradually turned into a market, with supporters and opponents holding their own opinions and refusing to give in.
Originally, at such meetings, everyone was in the system, and would discuss the issues in a matter-of-fact manner without getting angry.
But this time, for some reason, it was like a powder keg had been ignited, and it was so intense.
Cai Dongfeng scanned the entire room and soon discovered a pattern: most of the opponents were people who had been with e-commerce for a long time and had stood up for it on different occasions.
Most of the supporters were newcomers who had only risen in the past two years, not cadres promoted by their predecessors.
In politics, there are always factions.
People who play politics are never simple, and they are all very cunning.
In recent events, Cai Dongfeng clearly felt that Ma Jieke did not respect him enough, and he also realized that they were not on the same side.
The e-commerce faction was another competitor's faction, and it was not his own team after all.
Today's Lin'an political situation is still turbulent and not so clean.
Cai Dongfeng is a person who is determined to move up and truly wants to make some political achievements. It is impossible for him to give up such great political achievements in order to fulfill the interests of his opponents.If, as Zhou Jiangnan said, in the future, two trillion-level industries, one group-buying takeaway and one new energy vehicle, are laid out during his tenure, it would be a great achievement.
Serving as an official, benefiting the people.
If this thing is done, it will be a great contribution to Lin'an and a highlight in the political career.
When he leaves office in the future, he can say without hesitation that he has done his duty to the people of Lin'an.
The premise is to dare to take this gamble as Zhou Jiangnan said.
He was thinking about the pros and cons, and other officials in the meeting room were also guessing his thoughts.
The reason why the new generation all stood on his side was that they knew the mayor's mind by observing his words and expressions, which was to give the land to Schindler Group.
Politicians are all gambling when facing opportunities. Cai Dongfeng dares to gamble, and they dare to gamble too.
As expected, Mayor Cai slammed the table and said, "Stop arguing. Let's test the waters first. Set aside 200 acres of land for the first phase. The Planning Bureau and the Land Bureau will work together to formulate a plan to provide supporting residential construction land..."
Cai Dongfeng directly carried out gradual development. If the effect is good in the future, he will slowly develop the second and third phases.
This plan made it difficult for others to say anything. If he gave all the 1,000 acres to Xunda in one go, it would be hard to say.
But it's just 200 acres. If a mayor doesn't have the power to have the final say, then what's the point of it?
This park, which covers an area of 200 acres and was later named "Binjiang High-tech Industrial Park", was not named at this meeting.
Politics is an art of compromise.
Cai Dongfeng decided on the transferee of the 200 acres of land, and after the meeting, it was immediately passed on to his competitors and Zhou Jiangnan.
Zhou Jiangnan looked at the map and nodded with satisfaction and gratitude.
Old Cai is a really kind person. This piece of land is a good place with good wind and water.
He was under a lot of pressure to do this. It was said that he originally planned to give 1,000 acres at a time, but the plan was modified for some reason.
It seems that he must speed up the progress and layout, and he must not lose face.
