Chapter 57 The Butterfly Effect



"Our Honghua Township has 156 square kilometers of land, with plains, hills and mountains each accounting for one-third. The area we occupy now is a 78-square-kilometer plain area. You can see that the ground is just rock, and there is no way to grow crops. This is a shortcoming, but also an advantage. We can use it to build cities, open factories, and do business. The people also support us in getting the land. Secretary Li, in the early days, my family was forced by the county and township to contract 40,000 mu of such land. Not even a firewood can grow on this land. The price is 80 yuan per mu, and my family spent 3.5 million yuan!" Sun Zongyuan complained with a bitter face.

Secretary Li Chuanyou and Commissioner Sun Peiqing said with a smile: "If you have money, then take more. 40,000 mu is not enough. How about adding another 20,000 mu? Give us two a favor."

"How about demarcating the land this year and paying next year?"

Secretary Wang Peizhong and Li Jianguo quickly said, "You'll be given another 40,000 yuan. We'll pay you back next year!"

Wow, that's 100,000 acres of land! He's definitely a major landowner in the country!

"Okay, okay. We're standing ten kilometers from the outskirts of the city. If the city grows seven or eight kilometers toward us, and we grow three or four kilometers to the east, can we merge into one?"

"This is our locational advantage. We also have land resource advantages. We need to consider how to connect with urban development."

Sun Zongyuan then reported:

"We certainly can't compete with Ganhe in terms of housing, but we can boldly and confidently develop industries such as industry, logistics, commerce, and warehousing. The prerequisite for development is transportation. If you want to be rich, you must first build roads. If you want to prosper, roads must come first. Therefore, we have planned and built this Zhenxing Road, which will not be outdated for 20 years. Now, tens of thousands of acres of land here will be used to build roads and other infrastructure. Based on detailed planning, we will plan three major parks: an industrial park, a warehousing and logistics area, and a commercial wholesale area. Construction has already begun on a meat processing area!"

"Of course, there is another difficulty here, which is the Ganhe Bridge. It is only six meters wide now. If it is to be expanded or renovated, our Honghua Township does not have the capacity to build it. It is the bottleneck for our Ganhe's westward development. This problem needs to be solved by the district."

"Good boy, you've given us a task. Tell me, what benefits will we get after the bridge is opened?"

"Secretary Li, if the Ganhe Bridge is built as wide as the Zhenxing Road, I can guarantee that within ten years, this desolate place will contribute at least 500 million yuan in tax revenue! No less than that!" Sun Zongyuan said with his head held high.

The leaders around were silent. Li Chuanyu and Sun Peiqing were also silent. They were thinking in their hearts: the tax revenue of the entire region last year was only 400 million yuan, and the fiscal revenue was 250 million yuan. Can this place double the revenue of the entire region?

"Don't brag. What are the conditions for achieving this goal?" asked Commissioner Sun Peiqing.

"The prerequisite is that I must have a platform, and I must work here, otherwise I would be bragging!" Sun Zongyuan said with an embarrassed smile.

"This condition is easy to fulfill. The Anyang County Party Committee is all here. You guys should make this happen. We can't let this kid go for ten years!"

Secretary Wang Peizhong quickly said, "We will resolutely follow the instructions of the Prefectural Party Committee!"

"Of course, there's another condition, which is that the region has to support me. Otherwise, if they take bribes and deliberately make things difficult for me, I won't be able to do anything about it."

"What do you mean by saying it?"

"We can designate Honghua Township and the two townships to the north and south as an economic development zone. The city will provide special policies, unified planning, staggered development, and avoid homogeneous competition. This way, we can develop rapidly and drive the rapid development of the Ganhe area."

"If there are suitable industrial projects in the region, they can be located here. If they are placed around the city, they will need to be relocated within 30 years, which will cause huge waste and be detrimental to development."

"How about this, Comrade Xiao Sun, you write a detailed plan and report it to the Prefectural Committee, and we will study it together!" Secretary Li Chuanyu said seriously after listening.

"Okay, Secretary Li!"

The next task is to go up the mountain to plant trees.

The leaders were discussing Sun Zongyuan's report while planting trees.

In twenty or thirty years, will the Ganhe area develop that big and be that good?

Can the desertified land in Honghua Township really generate such a huge amount of tax revenue?

Is this kid a fool?

Or a liar?

But his ideas are clear and his language is concise, he doesn't look like a liar!

From behavior and speech to planning and development to long-term goals, there are many reasons for analysis, which is relatively scientific!

He said that over the next ten years, they could generate 500 million yuan in tax revenue, which translates to 300 million yuan in local revenue. Adding in other factors, the region's fiscal revenue could reach 700 million yuan, compared to the province's 2.4 billion yuan. Would Ganhe District then become the largest in the province? Or even second place?

When the time comes, we can go to the provincial meeting and walk around freely, making other regions jealous!

Secretary Li Chuanyu and Commissioner Sun Peiqing were together.

"Old Sun, what do you think about what that younger relative of yours said?" Li Chuanyu asked.

"I think there's some truth to that. It's like he's foreseeing the future. If we follow his path, we might actually be able to develop our Ganhe region and compete with the provincial capital."

"Regardless of whether what he said is true or not, as for how development will develop in the future, I think we should build roads around the city and open up the main thoroughfares in our area. We should also develop ahead of the curve. Then, no matter who is in power in the future, obstacles to development will be much smaller."

"Yes, the construction of Zhenxing Road in Honghua Township has inspired me. We can also follow the path of the masses providing labor, the government providing funding, and the transportation sector providing technical equipment. Within two years, we can make a big difference in the transportation system across the entire region. A prosperous transportation sector will lead to the prosperity of all industries, and we must be at the forefront!"

"As for the money for road construction, I think we can divide it into three parts. First, we need to strive for funds from higher authorities. You see, using Honghua's experience, we can accomplish two things with one dollar. Second, we need to apply for a loan from the bank. Recently, banks have been unable to issue loans. We can loan out 100 million yuan and strive to repay it within 10 years. The bank and insurance companies will be happy. We have 20 million yuan squeezed out of the treasury. Let's focus on a few major projects. I don't believe that planting a phoenix tree won't attract a phoenix! Let's go back this afternoon and call Shen Congde to discuss this with the Transportation Bureau and the Construction Bureau."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the small conference room on the third floor of the district, several district leaders and department leaders repeatedly studied the traffic map of the Ganhe area. It was not until seven-thirty in the evening that they finally formed a three-year traffic improvement plan.

This spring, the main focus is on upgrading two transit national highways. The east-west National Highway 327 dry river section is 126 kilometers long, and the north-south National Highway 216 is 132 kilometers long. Due to years of disrepair, they have been included in this year's renovation plan, but the road width has only been changed from seven meters to nine meters, and the road surface has been changed from gravel to asphalt. Half of the 68 million yuan allocated has been received, and the financial pressure is relatively light.

Road infrastructure was allocated to counties, cities, and 147 townships, with each township responsible for an average of 1.76 kilometers. This task was completed by concentrating time and personnel, utilizing seven of the 15 annual volunteer hours each citizen was required to provide. The region was responsible for overall coordination, the counties for implementation, and the townships for execution.
