Chapter 78 Economic Semi-annual Report



July has passed in a flash, and the economic data for the first half of the year at all levels have been calculated one after another.

The governor took the half-year report handed over by the director of the Statistics Bureau, and looked happy and confused at times.

"Our province's total economic output grew by 11.8% in the first half of the year, the best figure in recent years. It ranks second among all provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions nationwide, only 0.1 percentage point lower than Guangdong Province. This shows that our development path is on the right track."

“But why is the growth rate in Ganhe area so high? Did you make a mistake in your calculation or is there something inflated in the Ganhe report?” asked the governor.

"Governor, we also had doubts at first, but we finally reviewed and confirmed that the report data of Ganhe District was true and valid." The director of the Statistics Bureau replied.

Not only the governor had questions, but also Secretary Li Chuanyou of the Ganhe Prefectural Party Committee Office looked at the report in his hand and asked the director of the regional statistics bureau:

"Are the data for our entire region true? The data for Anyang County must have been miscalculated. How could it be so high?"

"We have calculated it independently and conducted on-site inspections in areas where there were doubts. The data for Anyang County is correct."

In the first half of 1986, Shandong Province's economic growth rate was 11.8%, ranking second in the country.

The economic growth rate of Ganhe District is 18.7%, ranking first among all regions in the province.

Anyang County's economic growth rate was 33.4%, and its fiscal revenue increased by 32%, both ranking first in the region;

The economic development rate of Honghua Township is 113.8%, ranking first in the county.

The specific data of Honghua Township are: economic development speed increased by 173.8%, fixed asset investment increased by 742.3%, actual foreign investment introduced was 5.4 million US dollars, export earnings were 8 million US dollars, fiscal revenue increased by 324% year-on-year to 1.63 million yuan, and per capita income of farmers increased by 92 yuan, a year-on-year increase of 49.1%.

In the per capita income structure of farmers, wage income from enterprises of nearly 3,000 farmers in Honghua Township accounts for a considerable proportion, as well as income from pig farming, road construction subsidies and income from increased agricultural production.

Liuzhuang Township's semi-annual report also showed impressive figures. With the Liuzhuang Food Factory and Yuanda Feed Factory as its pillar industries, the township actively provided services, achieving economic growth of 112% and fiscal revenue of 870,000 yuan, a year-on-year increase of 96.4%. Xu Baifu, Party Secretary of Liuzhuang Township, was also pleased, his steps becoming more brisk.

Half a year later, Sun Zongyu organized several professional accountants from the Mechanical Research Institute to conduct special audits on several of his family's businesses.

In the first half of the year, a total of 21 million yuan was directly invested, 100,000 mu of land was acquired, a feed factory, a meat processing plant, a breeding farm and a machinery research institute were built, Qianhe Food Factory and Liuzhuang Food Factory were expanded, 6 million yuan in loans were used, and 4.8 million yuan in land payments were owed.

The two foreign-invested enterprises are not counted as domestic investments.

In the first half of the year, the company achieved an output value of 94.6 million yuan, a profit of 14.8 million yuan, and paid 2.57 million yuan in taxes.

Honghua Construction Company also had more than 400,000 yuan in dividends on its books, but Sun Zongyuan invested more money in it to let Yang Zhiwu purchase construction equipment and vehicles to enhance the strength of the construction company.

As Honghua Township had ample finances, Sun Zongyuan discussed with the secretary and township head the issue of establishing new primary and secondary schools in the Fushan work area. After obtaining approval from the Party Committee, a leading group for promoting projects such as Fushan Primary and Secondary Schools was established with the secretary and township head as group leaders and Sun Zongyuan as deputy group leader, officially kicking off the development and construction of Fushan!

The sites for primary and secondary schools and the new Honghua Township government (externally known as the Fushan Work Area) have been viewed and inspected on site by several secretary-level leaders in the early stages. The school buildings and office space commissioned for planning and design by the Urban Construction School have been completed and have been reviewed and approved by the regional construction department. The current task is to prepare the budget and open bidding.

After the project cost budget, the entire project is divided into four sections:

The middle school costs 600,000, the primary school costs 320,000, the new government costs 560,000, and the apartment building costs 370,000.

The tender document clearly states:

For the above projects, 10% will be allocated for foundation pit excavation, 20% for one floor, 30% will be allocated for completion of the main project, 50% will be allocated for completion and delivery, 80% will be allocated before the New Year's Day of the second year, and the entire project will be allocated in the third year.

Restrictions have been placed on the qualifications of bidding companies, which must have undertaken construction projects worth more than 5 million yuan before the bidding.

Sun Zongyuan invited the county disciplinary committee and regional newspaper reporters to serve as tender supervisors. After an open, fair, just and transparent bidding process, the winners were:

Ganhe Second Construction Company undertook the middle school project, Honghua Construction Company undertook the primary school project, and Nantong Fourth Construction Company undertook the government office building and apartment building construction.

As the legal representative of Party A, Township Chief Zhao Yuncheng signed construction contracts with three construction companies.

According to the plan, Sun Zongyu designated 300 acres of land on the bank of the scenic Kun River to build the Yuanda Kunyuan community. The first batch of four apartment buildings were also handed over to Nantong Sijian for construction. It was not that he did not trust local construction companies, but Nantong Sijian really has guaranteed quality and speed, which really saves people worry and money!

All four buildings are 7-story villas with elevators, with four unit types: 130 square meters, 116 square meters, 107 square meters and 96 square meters, for a total of 112 households. Sun Zongyuan specially arranged to reinforce the top floor, covered it with nutrient soil and built a sky garden and vegetable garden. He planned that his grandparents, parents, father-in-law and mother-in-law and his wife Xu Rui would all live on the top floor. Not only can they see far, but they can also grow flowers and vegetables on the roof.

Sun Zongyuan was a famous calligrapher and bonsai artist in his previous life, so he also plans to build a 100-square-meter study on the top floor for reading, writing, drinking tea, and exercising, and a 100-square-meter greenhouse. The rest of the space will be used for growing vegetables, flowers, and bonsai.

The Honghua Economic Development Zone office building and the Honghua Kunhe Bridge were also constructed by Nantong Fourth Construction.

The design was created by the Shanghai Planning and Design Institute. From the effect, the office building looks magnificent, with podium buildings on both sides like stars surrounding the moon. It is located on the west bank of Kun River, surrounded by green trees and wide roads.

The Kunhe Bridge adopts a cable-stayed design, and the underpasses on both sides allow vehicles to pass through unimpeded, which speeds up the use efficiency of the bridge.

The bridge has six lanes in both directions, with a four-meter non-motorized vehicle lane and a two-meter sidewalk on each side, making it 30 meters wide. The bridge is decorated with beautiful streetlights and strings of colored lights, creating a beautiful effect!

In the designer's words, this bridge will still be very fashionable in thirty years and will also meet the needs of transportation development in the next thirty years.

Indeed, more than 30 years after this bridge was put into use, another bridge of the same width was built right to its south. The original bridge was changed from two-way traffic to one-way traffic, forming a comprehensive sister bridge with twelve lanes in both directions.

Now the construction of this bridge and this building has started.

In addition to a portion of funds allocated by the region, most of the funds are raised by the Honghua Economic Development Zone itself.
