Mingzhu City's originally tight economic situation began to become more relaxed after Pudong New District began to promote land leasing policies.

According to statistics from the municipal government, the funds that have been recorded now exceed 1 billion US dollars, and the funds that will be received in three years will reach 10 billion US dollars, which is an amazing number!

You should know that the national foreign exchange income last year just reached this number.

Of course, this is just an introduction to the resurgence of Mingzhu City. The introduction of the land leasing policy not only provides funds for the renovation of Mingzhu City’s old city, but also attracts a large number of overseas large enterprises to come to Mingzhu and begin to take root.

It can be imagined that in a few years, these large enterprises will bring great production capacity, create more material wealth for Mingzhu City, and make Mingzhu City's development funds bigger and stronger like snowballs.

When Mayor Wu Yuanshan came to see Ye Ziping, he brought some data reports.

Ye Ziping invited him to drink * coffee. Wu Yuanshan was a person who knew the goods. After drinking it, he said in surprise, "Oh, authentic Blue Mountain * coffee! This thing is rare!"

"My brother-in-law brought it back when he went abroad, and it tasted pretty good." Ye Ziping smiled.

Wu Yuanshan nodded. Ye Ziping's sister Ye Zirong is currently the director of a department of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, while her husband Li Yichen, once served as ambassador to the United States and is currently the deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, often runs outside.

It can be said that if people in China can taste some good things outside, these people will definitely get the moon first.

Ye Ziping looked through the data reports and found that the contents were a summary of recent work, including fiscal revenue, the benefits obtained from the land leasing policy, etc., as well as the budgets of some major projects planned by the municipal government.

It should be said that the cadres in Mingzhu City still pay more attention to the effectiveness of their work. Although Mayor Wu Yuanshan was not promoted to "Secretary" as he wished, he did not bring his personal emotions into his work. Instead, he worked harder.

This made Ye Ziping admire him. He also looked forward to his term in Mingzhu City. He hoped to do his job well in the past ten years and leave some memorable benefits for the people of Mingzhu City.

After reading the data report, Ye Ziping was quite satisfied. Mingzhu Municipal Government is a pragmatic and efficient government, and Mayor Wu Yuanshan made an indelible contribution.

"Actually, these are the foundations laid by the first two leaders, and I'm just enjoying it." Wu Yuanshan himself was quite modest, waved his hands to Ye Ziping's praise, and did not dare to be greedy for his own achievements.

"When Comrade Hong Zheng was in Mingzhu City, he was constrained by the funding gap and was unable to carry out municipal construction, so he could only pay attention to the infrastructure of borrowing foreign debts." Wu Yuanshan remembered the original story. "Before the Nanpu Bridge, the municipal government borrowed ADB for small and medium-sized enterprises and the construction of Suzhou River sewage systems. I think it had basically not played any role in urban development. However, since the Nanpu Bridge, Mingzhu City began to use international loans for municipal construction, and this result has been significantly more."

Ye Ziping listened and nodded.

At that time, the investment in Nanpu Bridge was more than US$200 million, of which ADB borrowed 70 million.

Since it is the first infrastructure construction to apply for ADB loan in Mingzhu City, the ADB terms are implemented very strictly. In addition to the construction major, there are also a large number of legal contracts. Each node has a very strict acceptance system for the time and engineering progress. Only when the quality meets the standards on time will the fund be continued, and each item is guaranteed by legal text.

"The situation of Mingzhu Municipal Government at that time was penniless and could not be demolished on a large scale. There was no land to fall in the Puxi section of the bridge guide bridge, and the bridge could only circling down like a butterfly wing." Wu Yuanshan remembered what happened back then and couldn't help but sigh. "The shape of this bridge is a witness at that time. As the largest economic center in China, it was just a shortage of funds to build a bridge across the river in the city. The poorest is money."

"At that time, Comrade Hong Zheng said that cooperation with ADB must be trustworthy, do what he said, borrow and repay, and it is not difficult to borrow again." Wu Yuanshan said, "Nanpu Bridge was built in December 1988 and was established in February 1991, just passing the period of the Nanmen Incident. Comrade Hong Zheng saw more people when he spoke in a TV series with passion, but no one had seen him work harder to retain the influential foreign businessmen in Mingzhu City at that time. At that time, Mingzhu City itself was not very big, and municipal construction had just turned to external loans and had not yet achieved results. Perhaps except for him, his family, not many people really understood the huge pressure he had to do so."

"It is said that the construction of the Nanpu Bridge reached a node, but ADB has not been able to come, and it is impossible to test it if there is no one. The so-called contract responsibility is heavier than everything. They have no way to deal with us. In the end, Comrade Hong Zheng gritted his teeth and said that Zhucheng must ensure the construction period if he has to pay for the money." Wu Yuanshan said, "Later, ADB finally found out with conscience and finally gave a good word, indicating that Zhucheng City's model of implementing contracts can be exempted from inspection in the future. The second time Yangpu Bridge was re-loaned, it was ADB's safe project. Finally, ADB took the Nanpu Bridge loan project as a model of success. Think about this, it is really poor and the horse is thin and the hair is long."

"These are limitations of the times. In fact, if Mingzhu City had rented land at that time, it would also solve the financial problems." Ye Ziping said, "but because of the pressure on all aspects, this thing was not done."

"So I admire you very much for Secretary Ye." Wu Yuanshan said with emotion, "Comrade Jiang Cheng and Comrade Hong Zheng have considered this work, but they have not formed a resolution in the city. It can be seen that the resistance encountered is so great. Now that the Secretary Ye has just come to work in Mingzhu City, he has resolutely decided to promote the land leasing policy under the pressure. The municipal government's financial dilemma was solved at once."

Wu Yuanshan admires Ye Ziping very sincerely. After all, if there is money in the city, first of all, he, as the mayor, has become much more confident and has become much easier to carry out all work. Only when the family has money can the people below be obedient.

Of course, not all cadres and the masses agree with the policy of land leasing, and in fact, most people oppose it.

But this matter is something that Ye Ziping needs to consider, and it has little to do with him, the mayor.

It was just November, and a cold current hit, making the people of Mingzhu City feel that winter is approaching.

In the north, forces opposed to land leasing policies finally formed a strong relationship and made a very strong criticism of Mingzhu City's approach.

Beijing [Harmony] The city party newspapers all at once, that is, the land leasing policy launched by the Mingzhu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government is a reversal of history. Some veteran cadres stood up and implemented the land leasing policy in Mingzhu City, criticizing it as reopening the concession to sell land to foreigners.

"Land rent is selling land!"

"Ye Ziping is going to reverse history!"

"Does Ye Ziping plan to reopen the concession?!"

All kinds of big hats were instantly worn on Ye Ziping's head, so many that he could not even count them himself.

Ye Kai has been busy with Shen Yun in East China recently, and he also bought land in Pudong and prepared to build a large amount of money. But even so, he could not hear the voices of these old cadres, so he ran back.

"How did the recent storm reverse so much?" Ye Kai expressed doubts about this.

Logically speaking, although the senior management did not express clear support for Mingzhu City’s land leasing policy, they did not express their clear opposition. Then the attitude towards this policy is to wait, take a look, and then draw a conclusion.

However, less than two months after the work in Mingzhu City was underway, such a fierce opposition suddenly appeared. What does this mean? It must be that someone in Beijing [Harmony] City is deliberately creating conflicts, trying to arouse everyone's dissatisfaction with Ye Ziping, and then causing a major blow to the old Ye family!

Who is causing trouble behind the scenes? Ye Kai was not very clear in his heart, but he felt that there was no need for these big men at the central level to operate in this way.

"Behind a group of old cadres, Hou Laosan's former father-in-law may be the instigation..." Ye Ziping's source of information was more powerful. After hearing his son's question, he said helplessly.

"Hey, this old man really refuses to calm down." Ye Kai scratched his head a little when he heard this.

There is really nothing we can do about this old man.

The key is that he is also old and has a decent person. He has never violated the law or discipline. He is also very honest. As the saying goes, if he is not a yu, he is strong and has no braids. If you don’t have any braids, you won’t be able to do anything to him.

Moreover, in terms of quantity, veteran cadres like him are actually a very large group. They have nothing to do when they are full all day long. They care about the great harmony of the country and express their presence. It is natural. However, many cadres who retreat will always feel that this is not pleasing to the eye and that is wrong. Once someone motivates him, they can turn this resentment into a powerful force, and even affect the direction of the political situation.

This is exactly what is happening now.

"The key is that this trend is very troublesome. I am considering whether to go to Beijing [Harmony] City to explain the views of Mingzhu City on this issue." Ye Ziping was a little confused at this time, but he just felt that he could not let the situation continue to develop like this.
