Chapter 580
Lin Zhenhua laughed and said, "Governor Hong, our Jiangnan province has always been the best in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in terms of attracting investment. Why is it lagging behind in your eyes? You can't do it because of deep love, It hurts so much, right?"

Hong Yu'an said: "Xiao Lin, you may have been in Jingxi for a while and didn't pay attention to the outside world. Since the Yangtze River Bridge was demolished, the development along the Yangtze River has been in full swing. We did do better in the past, but this In the past two or three months, our investment promotion performance has not been as good as that of our brother provinces, and this matter cannot be taken lightly."

"There is such a thing?" Lin Zhenhua asked in surprise, "Governor Hong, after I left Jingxi, I deliberately returned to Xunyang by boat along the Yangtze River. Along the way, I did see that brother provinces are vigorously building development zones. But , Our Xunyang’s location conditions are not bad, and it developed earlier, and its foundation is much better than those newly built development zones in brother provinces, so why is it not competitive in attracting investment?”

"Chairman Lin, you don't know something." Yao Niangui, the current mayor of Xunyang, interjected, "The hardware conditions of our entire Xunnan Industrial Belt are second to none among the development zones established by the provinces in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Our Xunyang Port There are four container terminals and four bulk cargo terminals. The scale of Xunyang Airport is judged nationwide, second only to big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. However, this is where the problem lies. Because we developed it early, The prices of land, labor and other aspects are much higher than those of newly-built development zones, which scares away those investors.”

"I see." Lin Zhenhua suddenly realized that, in fact, he should have thought of this a long time ago.

In real history, until the first 21 years of the 10st century, the economy of Jiangnan Province was still at the bottom of the provinces in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.Known as "the mouth of three rivers and the thoroughfare of seven provinces", Xunyang's good location conditions have not been fully utilized at all, and it has been in a state of obscurity.

However, in this fictional story, Xunyang has become a bright pearl in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River because Lin Zhenhua, a traveler, disturbed the overall situation.In Xunyang alone, there are dozens of large enterprises with an annual output value of more than 10 billion, including Hanhua Heavy Industry, a nationally famous giant. As for small and medium-sized enterprises, there are countless.The annual cargo throughput of the entire Xunyang Port is as high as 3000 million tons and more than 20 TEUs of containers. This is achieved under the condition of limited transportation capacity on the Yangtze River.Now that the waterway of the Yangtze River has been dredged, the future development is even more limitless.

The development of the economy will inevitably bring about an increase in the price of land and labor. The human resources department of Hanhua has conducted a survey and found that the labor price in Xunyang is almost the same as that of several open coastal cities.In the past, in order to reduce labor prices, Hanhua often went to some mountainous cities and counties in the south of Jiangnan Province to recruit workers, but now, even the wages of workers from mountainous areas can no longer be reduced, which is the so-called bottleneck of development. Period.

"High land prices and high labor costs are good things, which means that we are already a developed province." Lin Zhenhua said to Hong Yu'an with a smile.

Hong Yu'an shook his head greatly: "Xiao Lin, you only know one thing and not the other. The state evaluates the quality of the work of each province not only by your absolute level, but also by your relative level. Indeed, Jiangnan Province's The per capita income is currently ranked among the top five in the country, but our development speed is almost at the bottom. Everyone says that Jiangnan Province is a developed province, but you only grow by 5% a year, and others grow by 20%. You let me Where do you put the governor's face?"

"Uh..." Lin Zhenhua was really choked by Hong Yu'an. At this moment, he began to miss Xie Mingcheng. He really should find Xie Mingcheng and teach Hong Yu'an a lesson on how to reject the worship of GDP.In an economically backward place like Jingxi, talking about breaking the worship of GDP is completely nonsense.But for a province like Jiangnan Province whose economy has developed to a certain level, there is really no need to pursue a higher speed.

However, Lin Zhenhua was just thinking about it in his head. He knew that China was still a poor country, so the top leaders had the intention to make great efforts, which determined that the economic growth in the next few years, It is still an important indicator for evaluating the performance of local officials.It is completely understandable for Hong Yu'an to be dissatisfied with the development speed of Jiangnan Province.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Governor Hong, just now Mayor Yao has explained the reason. Taking Xunyang City as an example, we developed earlier than other places, so there is a serious shortage of industrial land. However, I would like to thank you very much here Mayor Yao, although the industrial land in Xunyang City is very tight, every time Hanhua applies for land, Mayor Yao gives the green light all the way and never makes things difficult."

"Of course." Yao Niangui said with a smile, "Who doesn't know that you, Chairman Lin, are the banner of our Xunyang, and every time you Hanhua apply for a land, it is to bring a new industry to our Xunyang , Look, steam turbines, chips, these are all industries that people can’t find, are we willing to push them out?”

Hong Yu'an also said: "That's right, when I was the mayor here, I already made this rule, but whenever Hanhua wants to use the land, no matter how tight it is, I have to guarantee it. After I went to the province, I also asked many times. Comrade Niangui mentioned this one."

"Yes, yes, Governor Hong has to reiterate this every time he comes to Xunyang to inspect the work." Yao Niangui quickly echoed.

Lin Zhenhua knew that what the two officials said was true. Hanhua is indeed enjoying VIP treatment in the province. Whether it is land use, employment, or other areas that require government cooperation, the provincial and municipal governments have never lost the chain.

"Thank you, Governor Hong, and Mayor Yao." Lin Zhenhua said, "Let me continue. Since we developed early, the industrial land has been saturated. If we want to attract investment at this time, we will definitely encounter what Mayor Yao said. In my view, it is impossible for us to expand the scale of local industries indefinitely. When the old industries have developed to a certain extent and cannot accommodate the entry of new industries, we need to adopt the policy of vacating cages and replacing birds. "

"Evacuate the cage and change the bird?" Hong Yu'an said, "Xiao Lin, tell me in detail, what does this mean?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "Our industrial development zone in Jiangnan Province is mainly the Xunnan Industrial Belt. But at present, there are already a lot of industrial enterprises in this area. Not only is there insufficient industrial land, but the carrying capacity of the environment is also close to the limit. In this area Under normal circumstances, if we want to accept new industries, we must push out old industries. It’s like we have a bird cage, and if we want to raise a new bird, we have to let the original bird go and empty the cage Just do it."

"You mean, let us push the old industries away?" Yao Niangui asked in surprise, "We recruited these enterprises through hard work, and you, Mr. Lin, also contributed to them. How about pushing it out?"

Hong Yu'an was moved by Lin Zhenhua's words, and he murmured: "Evacuate cages and change birds... This is a new idea. Xiao Lin, tell me, which birds do you think we should vacate, and which birds should be replaced?" What new bird?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "The early development of our Xunnan Industrial Belt took the path of export processing trade. In the entire Xunnan Industrial Belt, purely labor-intensive simple processing and assembly enterprises accounted for more than 80%, and the industry covered Clothing, electrical appliances, toys, furniture, etc. More than a dozen categories. The profit margins of these export processing enterprises are very low, and they win entirely on the basis of scale. The reason why they can maintain profitability is that the land they use was allocated more than ten years ago Yes, the land price at that time was very low, so their land use cost was almost negligible.

But now, the land they occupy has appreciated in value, and one mu of land is worth several 10 yuan.They occupy hundreds of thousands of acres of land and produce products that only earn a few cents per piece. Isn't this a waste?If you think about it, wouldn't it be more efficient if you took back the land and rented it out to companies with higher profit margins? "

"Governor Hong, look at Boss Lin's idea..." Yao Niangui turned to look at Hong Yu'an, asking for Hong Yu'an's opinion.This is no longer a policy choice for Xunyang City, but a general idea for the development of the entire Jiangnan Province.

Hong Yu'an said: "I also saw Xiao Lin's approach when I visited some coastal areas. It's just that they haven't sorted out this way of thinking systematically. I think Xiao Lin's idea is right. Since we The industrial land in China is limited, why can't these lands be allocated to those enterprises with better profits?"

"However, how can we squeeze these companies out?" Yao Niangui asked again, "These companies are also our major taxpayers. Over the years, they have also made great contributions to the development of Xunyang. We It's not appropriate to just say no, and push people out, right?"

Lin Zhenhua said with a smile: "Actually, there is a way to do this. We can formulate a land income standard per unit area, which is calculated according to the ratio of the land area occupied by the enterprise to the local tax paid. The tax paid per unit area is lower than the standard value. Yes, the government has the right to levy a land idle tax. The profit margins of these enterprises are too low to pay such a tax, so naturally they leave.”

"Boss Lin gave us another problem." Yao Niangui smiled wryly, "Our local government can't decide what kind of tax to collect. I haven't even heard of land idle tax."

"Comrade Niangui, what Xiaolin said is just an idea, how to do it, you can use your brains and think of ways." Hong Yuan said dissatisfied.

"Yes, yes, Governor Hong, I understand." Yao Niangui quickly agreed.In fact, he just made a casual remark just now. The idea proposed by Lin Zhenhua is still very creative.As for what method to use to get rid of those enterprises that occupy land but do not pay much tax, the government has never lacked means.

　Thank you Qinglin book friends for their generous rewards, and thank you for your support.Don't worry, no matter what complaints there are, the style of this book has been finalized, and it will always be written according to the original idea.
