Provincial Party Committee

Chapter 50

Everyone chatted casually for a few more days, the two sides shook hands, and got into the car respectively. Under the guidance of the vehicles in Linhai City, they entered the urban area with a green light all the way.

The convoy walked on the tidy and spacious Binhai Avenue. This road with a total length of more than ten kilometers was the facade of the entire Linhai City. The street was straight and tens of meters wide, and there were tall buildings on both sides of the road.On both sides of the sidewalk, there are all kinds of tropical trees, and the greenery is very good. People who travel to Linhai City for the first time will have a good impression at once. Therefore, when the superiors come to Linhai, they will do everything possible to keep your car. Lead to this road, so as to leave a good first impression on foreign guests.

The convoy walked through the urban area, and after walking for 20 minutes, it arrived in front of a modern building by the sea, which is the main building of the famous five-star hotel—Binhai Hotel.The large parking lot suddenly became crowded with dozens of cars entering.Under the command of the hotel staff, order was quickly restored.

The car came to a stop, and before Xiao Gong could open the door, the hotel waiter had already opened the door very politely.When Wang Yiming got out of the car, Ma Zhenghong and Mayor Liu Wanli greeted him with smiles on their faces.

Everyone walked into the hotel while talking. There is a large meeting room on the second floor of the hotel. According to the agenda, they will first attend a brief introduction meeting held by Linhai City when they arrive at the hotel. The time is now 11:25 [-] minutes, it is estimated that the introduction meeting will last about half an hour, and then there will be a reception luncheon held by the Linhai Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government.

Accompanied by everyone, Wang Yiming walked into the lounge of the meeting, went to the bathroom, and when he returned to the lounge, he saw that everyone was basically present.

At 11:[-], the meeting started on time. Accompanied by Ma Zhenghong and Liu Wanli, Wang Yiming walked into the conference room. He saw that the entire conference room was almost full. Staff, and journalists, filled the entire conference room.

A group of people led by Wang Yiming sat on one side of the conference room.The leader of Linhai City with Ma Zheng's red belt sat on the other side.Everyone communicated face to face. The meeting was presided over by a deputy secretary of Linhai City. First, Mayor Liu Wanli gave a welcome speech, and then Ma Zhenghong, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, personally reported the situation of Linhai City.

Although Wang Yiming rarely came to Linhai City, he still heard a lot about the situation in this city.

Linhai City is the most important coastal open city in Xijiang Province. It was famous throughout the country for its crazy real estate development in the past few years.At that time, people from all provinces, central government departments, and people with gold rush dreams came to this city from all over the world to buy land and build buildings. A piece of land can change hands several times a night, and the land price is like a rocket. soaring.

Some people made a fortune as soon as they changed hands just because they got a piece of land approval.The money is earned in the tens of millions, and it is passed on to hundreds of thousands, and Linhai has become a hot place.At that time, land along the coast was skyrocketing day by day, and many well-known and unknown developers came to this place to buy land and build houses through various channels.A house, a house, as long as it is a house, can bring astronomical wealth.

For land and houses, almost everyone is crazy.

The banks kept lending downwards, and a lot of funds from the whole country flowed to this small area overnight.This city has never experienced such a situation. It seems that this city has surpassed hundreds of years of history and entered the ranks of international large cities when it got on the rocket.

But the reality is cruel. The false prosperity supported by speculation and bank funds, the so-called real estate bubble, is like the rising tide of the sea. When the tide recedes, it leaves a mess.

The bubble burst quickly, and a batch of millionaires and multi-millionaires were created by speculating on land and uncompleted properties, but like a game of drumming and passing flowers, the person who finally took over the offer became the most pitiful person in the world.The land and buildings they bought became worthless all of a sudden, and they couldn't find anyone to resell.

Many of their funds come from bank loans. At this time, facing high interest and development costs, they just built the buildings. Facing the sluggish property market and a large number of unfinished buildings, everyone has no hope and peace. Emboldened.The only way is to stop work.The land is no longer needed, and the buildings that have been built are no longer needed, because even if they are all sold, there is not enough to repay the bank loan.

In an instant, this city with the craziest coastal real estate development has become the largest construction site of unfinished buildings along the coast of China.There are large forests made of concrete and steel bars everywhere.It was empty and unpopular inside.At night, it becomes a place where the homeless live.Large tracts of land are left unused, and large tracts of buildings have become ruins.Those villas along the coast that cost millions turned out to be a paradise for scavengers to live in.There is no water or electricity in there, and the villas are dilapidated and become haunted houses.

Linhai City finally paid a heavy price after experiencing a short period of prosperity. It has become the most economically sluggish city in Xijiang Province. The city with such good conditions, which should have been developed long ago, is now in the middle of the entire province. .

For such a place, the leaders of Xijiang Province have not found the weight to solve this predicament since then. The development of Linhai City has not seen any improvement, and it is still tepid until now, and has not stepped out of the shadow of the past.

After attending the luncheon at noon, Wang Yiming returned to his room on the 26th floor, opened the window, and outside was the endless sea.There are dots of sails in the sea, and fishing boats sail across the sea from time to time.

Nearby is the white sandy beach, which is said to be famous all over the world.This city is indeed a good place for vacation and leisure, with a pleasant climate and beautiful scenery. There is no heavy industry developed along the coast, and the seawater is well protected. Here, you can eat seafood that cannot be found in other places.Because in the eastern coastal areas, due to severe industrial pollution, many sensitive seafood have disappeared from them.

This place may be the last piece of pure land without pollution in China. I heard that the air quality of Linhai City is kept in good condition all year round, and it is a natural big oxygen bar.

For such a city, how to develop and position in the future, Wang Yiming feels that it must not take the road of heavy industry like other coastal cities.Taking advantage of the convenient conditions of shipping, the development of heavy chemical industry, steel, and shipbuilding can achieve immediate results, but that will also pollute this last piece of pure land.We cannot turn the places left by our ancestors into places unsuitable for human habitation for the sake of short-term economic benefits.More money than life is the experience and lesson of the development of most regions over the years.Everything is for GDP, as long as the numbers look good, you can gamble with the future of the entire nation without the blue sky and pure land.Such a lesson is simply too painful.

During the inspection in the afternoon, Linhai City dispatched two minibuses, with a police car clearing the way in front.All the staff boarded minibuses, and everyone parked their private cars in the parking lot of the hotel. From this point of view, it was easy to drive.Besides, minibuses have a good view, and you can enjoy the scenery along the way.

Wang Yiming and Ma Zhenghong sat in the first minibus.

On the way, Wang Yiming asked Ma Zhenghong about the development orientation of Linhai City.

Ma Zhenghong said: "Over the years, our Linhai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have gradually figured out a problem, that is, development is the top priority, but what is development, is it rich, and the GDP figure looks good, that is, development, maintaining the blue sky Bishui, is it developing? As for the actual situation in our Linhai City, what should we do? For this reason, I reported to the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. I think that for the development of Linhai City, we have to jump out of the original rules and regulations , do not use GDP or economic growth figures to look at the development of Linhai City and measure the development of this city. We should use another different standard, that is, whether the people are happy or not, whether the environment is beautiful or not, and whether everyone is livable or not. Therefore, our Municipal Committee The Standing Committee put forward a slogan: building an ecological seaside, a livable seaside, and a harmonious seaside. All our articles in the past few years have been centered around this center. Some large companies want to invest in us to build a heavy chemical base. Tens of billions, if we start from our own self-interest, from the personal point of view of our own promotion and wealth, we will welcome these big projects with all hands, which will easily make political achievements. Officials are happy, and local finances can also receive immediate benefits, but After careful consideration, we gave up. We cannot be the sinners of the nation. There is no shortage of coastal cities in China. If we don’t become a heavy chemical industry base, other coastal cities will also do it. Our most precious thing is in the After so many years of reform and opening up, we have maintained our good ecology, which cannot be bought with a lot of money. When I received inspections from leaders from other places, they mentioned that Linhai was very envious, saying that our place is good, The air is fresh, the streets are clean, and the greenery is good. It is a good place for leisure and vacation. There are fewer and fewer places like China. A city like Linhai, with such a large scale, has 80 million people and it is still good. It is really good It’s not easy. I feel very relieved after hearing these words, which shows that our development positioning for Linhai is appropriate and has been recognized by everyone.”

Hearing what he said, Wang Yiming felt confident. He nodded and said, "This location is good. It is ecologically adjacent to the sea, livable near the sea, and harmoniously near the sea. If you do these three things, the characteristics of your city will emerge. Now, when we build a city, we must not follow the trend, develop blindly regardless of our actual situation, lose our own advantages, and never get out of it. Not to mention all for money and immediate interests, we don’t want blue sky and clear water, our ancestors did it for The foundation we left behind, through these years of blind development, we have ruined a lot. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is devastated. Everyone knows that our development today is a typical extensive style. We only want today and not tomorrow Some foreign experts call us a suicidal development. Our development is a crazy plunder and plunder of nature, which will be cruelly retaliated by nature sooner or later. Those who seek the overall situation are not enough to seek an area. We are all lucky people. Since fate favors us so much, the party and organizations value us so much, and put us in such important positions, we must do our best to serve this country, Fighting for the long-term interests of the Chinese nation, you can't be short-sighted and do stupid things that will last forever!"

Hearing Wang Yiming's words, Ma Zhenghong looked at him with admiration from the bottom of his heart. Although he had just met Wang Yiming, he felt that from Wang Yiming's words and deeds, it could be seen that this was a person who really had his own thoughts and dared to express his views. This person is not the style of an old-fashioned official who has been in the field for a long time. He brings a fresh feeling to people, as if he is a scholar, which is fundamentally different from ordinary provincial and ministerial officials.

Even compared with Yang Chunfeng, the difference is obvious. Wang Yiming is more than ten years younger in age, and this age has reached such a high position. In the history of Xijiang Province, there are not many such examples.Yang Chunfeng gave people a sense of inscrutability and profoundness. When he was speaking in an official style, no one knew what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. To put it bluntly, he himself was an old fritter in the officialdom.But Wang Yiming is obviously different. There is something inexplicable about him. He is frank and straightforward. Sometimes he feels like a hot-blooded young man without a city, but he sees the problem sharply and dares to do it. result.

It seems that there is a certain reason why the central government put people like Wang Yiming in Xijiang Province. The officialdom in Xijiang Province is severely inert and lifeless. Using such an official can bring something new, but can he reverse it? Qiankun, we have to wait and see.After all, Yang Chunfeng is still the top leader now, and it will take time for him, Wang Yiming, to fully demonstrate his style and charm.

In the afternoon, Wang Yiming looked at the high-tech development zone, university town, and seafood processing and export base in Linhai City.In the morning of the second day, I took a look at Golden Beach and coastal tourist resorts.

In the past few years, Linhai City has also introduced a number of high-tech enterprises to develop the electronics industry, which not only protects the environment but also attracts employment.Due to the good environment and cheap land in Linhai City, it is indeed attractive to some large enterprises.Laptops and mobile phones produced by several companies have been exported to many countries in Europe and Southeast Asia. Wang Yiming looked at the production line in the workshop and visited the workers who were working.

Wang Yiming asked a young girl who was working how much she could get paid every month.

The little girl said: "There is 1600 yuan a month. The dormitory is arranged uniformly in the factory, there is a canteen, and the food is not expensive. You can save 1000 yuan a month."

The person in charge of the nearby factory said: "She has just joined the factory. Other skilled workers can usually get 2000 yuan a month, and the salary of a technician has reached 3000 yuan. The salary level of our factory is the highest in Linhai City. Relatively high."

Ma Zhenghong, who was next to him, quickly explained: "Yes, yes, Linhai is a backward area, and its salary level ranks low in the whole province. The current monthly income of our civil servants and department-level cadres is just over 2000. There are less than 3000 high-level cadres. Their factory has relatively high wages. In the city, a small worker usually earns a monthly salary of 800 yuan, which is half of what is here.”

Wang Yiming nodded and praised the person in charge of the factory a few words, but he knew in his heart that if the salary level was in accordance with international standards, it would be too low.A worker at a gas station in the United States has an annual income of 30 U.S. dollars. Converted into RMB, it is more than 2 RMB a year.And our workers only get 200 RMB after working overtime for a year.If the gates of the country are closed, and foreigners pass through theirs, we pass through ours, and all material wealth will not be circulated.But now, the country is wide open, and foreigners earn money like that, and we can go to China to consume things if we earn money like this, which brings about a huge unfair problem.An ordinary citizen of a developed western country can live a life of debauchery and debauchery in China with a salary.I heard that the sex industry in Linhai City is very developed. At the entrances of countless bars, sauna shops, and bathing centers along the street, there are foreign men with yellow hair and blue eyes hanging around with Chinese women on their shoulders.They think it's heaven.Because with their income, they can be grooms every night, and they can hire an escort girl, which costs [-] RMB a night, which is simply too cheap.

When Wang Yiming was in Beijing, he knew that when real estate development was at its peak, there was a saying that a hundred thousand three accompanied their daughters to the sea.At that time, rich people from all over the world went to Linhai, driving the sex industry here.The bars, saunas, bathing centers, and even dozens of kilometers of beaches here have become places for sex trading.Because there are too many escorts and the prices are cheap, not only foreigners are attracted, but even locals join in. Some men go bankrupt and hang out with escorts, even to the point where they don't care about their wives and children.

In the end, local women spontaneously organized and marched in the streets, demanding that the government deport the escort girls and return their husbands.

But with the collapse of the real estate bubble, most of the escort girls have disappeared without a trace, and they have to go to more economically developed areas to seek gold.Therefore, the local sex industry in Linhai has gradually declined.

Of course, during the day, a big leader like Wang Yiming can't see anything.When the local public security department heard that the big bosses were coming, they had already sent out a signal. The bosses who wanted to engage in the sex industry closed their doors one after another to avoid the limelight. When these big officials left, they would not be too late to reopen.

Over the years, they have already had perfect experience in dealing with superior leaders. As long as they have fooled the leaders for a few days, they can do whatever they should do afterwards.Escort girls can earn money, and bosses can make a fortune. These umbrellas of the Public Security Bureau can collect some illegal protection fees.We are all grasshoppers on the same line, we have the same blessings and share the same difficulties, and no one says anything.

Wang Yiming is also well aware of this situation.Not to mention Linhai, even in Beijing it is impossible to eliminate whoring and prostitution.The more advanced the entertainment venue is, the more these things are available. Anyone who can open a store of this scale has a protective umbrella behind him, otherwise he would not dare to enter this industry.This industry is high risk, high return.Without two brushes, no one dares to wade into this muddy water.

In order to cope with the inspection by the leaders, they cleaned up during the day, so what Wang Yiming saw was a clean Linhai City without any inappropriateness.

Wang Yiming also has experience in dealing with them.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Wang Yiming called the secretary Xiao Gong and the driver Xiao Shao, and the three quietly drove out of the hotel gate without informing anyone else. They drove to Jintan Beach and parked the car in a parking lot. , The three of them pretended to be tourists from other places, and entered the large stretch of sand on Golden Beach.

At this time, the sea breeze is blowing, the temperature is about 20 degrees, and the sea breeze is blowing on the body, which is already a bit cool.The sky is a very good moon, big, pouring silver light on the earth.On the beach in the distance, there were crowds of people, and many people were still playing.

Not long after the three of them entered, they stepped on the beach, walking with one foot deep and one foot shallow. From time to time, a woman wearing a swimsuit with a big towel wrapped around her body, showing her bare thighs, came to say hello.Their catchphrase is: "Boss, do you want to swim?"
