The next day, Lin Ximan arranged for people to conduct a population survey of the old city area and the newly selected land, estimating a series of issues such as the population, how many houses to build, whether the newly selected land was sufficient, etc.
The final version will be handed over to Lu Mochen after today.
Lu Mochen still had to hold a meeting to inform about the newly emerged land issue. After all, Hai City did not belong to their Lu family.
Of course, there were people who opposed the issues he raised, and those who opposed him were Executive Vice Mayor Zhao and his people.
The reason why Deputy Mayor Zhao was against him and always made things difficult for him was because Lu Mochen, the deputy mayor, was parachuted in. Originally, Deputy Mayor Zhao was planning to arrange for someone from his own faction to take the position. Everything was arranged, but suddenly a deputy mayor dropped out of the sky, catching them off guard. So Deputy Mayor Zhao didn't like him at all, and wanted to get rid of him and get his own people in the position.
However, Lu Mochen had already been prepared for Zhao Changzhang's opposition, and he said in a gentle manner: "Deputy Mayor Zhao's statement sounds fine, but there are a few points that I don't quite understand, so I want to ask Deputy Mayor Zhao.
First, Secretary Chu proposed building a beautiful city at the last meeting. Why can’t Shengshi Group purchase land and build high-end residential buildings?
Second, although Shengshi Group was approved for a lot of land this time, they have the ability to complete the construction within the time we set, so what do we have to worry about?
Third, who in China has such ability and funds to carry out the old city reconstruction in Hai City? Deputy Mayor Zhao said that there can't be a monopoly, so do you mean that domestic companies can't do it and the land should be given to foreign companies?
If that is the case, I would like to ask Vice Mayor Zhao, under the same conditions, why don't you give the land to our own people but to foreign-funded enterprises? Is there any reason behind this?
Moreover, our lands were not given to Shengshi for nothing. We not only collected their money for the lands, but also asked them to solve the employment problems of tens of thousands of people in Haishi. You all know how many problems the return of educated youths to the city has brought to our city. If Shengshi Group can solve them, then I personally think there is no problem in selling these lands to them. "
Talking about using foreign companies, this issue is a bit serious. As soon as Lu Mochen finished speaking, everyone in the conference room looked at Deputy Mayor Zhao.
Of course, Deputy Mayor Zhao could not be given any title. Zhao frowned and said unhappily: "I am doing this for the sake of our Hai City. The country advocates the introduction of foreign investment. If the land is given to foreign companies, then our Hai City's foreign investment revenue this year will reach a new height."
Lu Mochen smiled and said, "I'm afraid Deputy Mayor Zhao doesn't know the annual export volume of Shengshi Group? Last year, the total export value of Shengshi Group was a quarter of the total foreign exchange value of the country. If Shengshi Group also exports in our Haishi industrial zone, then which is better for the development of Haishi, the value it can create for our Haishi or giving the land to foreign capital for construction?"
Need I say more? Of course, it is better to use Shengshi!
In the end, the minority obeyed the majority, and the majority of people at the meeting raised their hands to agree to grant the land to Shengshi Group.
Moreover, Lu Mochen was designated as the person in charge of the old city renovation in this meeting, and Deputy Mayor Zhao returned empty-handed.
A month later, the first residential area to start construction was the relocated households residential area in the west of the city. Four high-rise buildings will be built here. It will be the first residential area in Hai City with elevators.
Fortunately, it was the early 1980s, and people were still easily satisfied. When they heard that they could live in a new building just by signing a contract, no one objected, even if it took a year to move in, and they had to find a house by themselves during that year, and they were given a hundred yuan rent each, everyone was very straightforward, and there was no stubborn household as Lin Ximan had expected.
The demolition was completed smoothly, in just two months, and then we worked with the municipality to lay pipes, cables and other infrastructure.
Shengshi Group has its own construction company, which was transferred to Hai City this time to carry out comprehensive work. If there are not enough unskilled workers, they can recruit locally, which can solve many employment problems. Therefore, the city leaders have been very satisfied with their company from the beginning, and even Deputy Mayor Zhao did not cause any trouble.
From the time Lin Ximan laid the foundation for the resettlement housing, she had been in Hai City for almost half a year. The Chinese New Year would be in two months. Although she didn't have many relatives, she still wanted to go to Beijing for the New Year.
Besides, she has other businesses that she wants to go and have a look at. Actually, she wanted to leave a long time ago, but here, a deputy mayor personally follows the project, and as the big boss of the second party, she can't not go, she understands this.
But now more than half a year has passed, and she can't stay any longer. After holding a meeting to arrange things, she went to Baishui City.
There are many factories here, and one-third of her group's foreign exchange is generated here.
And her cousin is also here. She came here this time to ask whether her cousin will spend the New Year with her in China or return to his home abroad.
Unexpectedly, when she arrived at the factory, she found that her cousin was not there, but had returned to the United States. It seemed that there was something at home that he had to go back to deal with.
Since no one was found, Lin Ximan didn't plan to stay any longer. This place was well managed by her cousin and she basically didn't have to worry about anything.
A few days after returning to Kyoto, she received a call from Rong Jingchen, saying that he had something to talk to her about. They hadn't been in touch for several months. He was on a mission to keep it secret, and she was also busy. The two of them were busy with their own things, which was one of the important reasons why Lin Ximan agreed to their relationship.
