Reborn Russia As An Oligarch

Originally, Mayor Zhang didn't have much hope. He just wanted to make some small talk and find out the identity of the mysterious young man.

He could see that this young man's identity was definitely not simple!

But he couldn't tell where it came from.

It's not easy to inquire directly about this kind of thing, so you can only use this method to get a feel for Wang Ye's "bottom".

Because Mayor Zhang has been in politics for so many years, he has met countless people, ranging from big figures and bosses to traffickers and lackeys. He has seen too many people.

With his "sharp eyes" and rich experience, he can roughly guess a person's status from his speech and behavior.

So, he deliberately tested it, wanting to hear what this young man thought of Pengcheng.

First, I wanted to judge Wang Ye's identity through his words.

Secondly, this problem has indeed troubled him for a long time. It is a big problem at work. Although he has no hope, it is always good to listen to other people's opinions. Maybe there will be some unexpected gains.

Wang Ye smiled slightly, and did not rush to explain what a "huge gold mine" was, but asked calmly: "Then, Mayor Zhang, what kind of city do you want to build Pengcheng into?

Oh, this topic is relatively big.

Then let’s keep it simple!

In your plan, this city will become a city like Xiangjiang next door with a highly developed economy, but where the living pressure of ordinary people is huge.

Or is it more ideal, a livable city with good economic development and suitable for ordinary people to live in? "

Mayor Zhang frowned. This question was not easy to answer.

At the same time, he also understood the meaning of Wang Ye's words.

I don’t know of any mayor in the Mainland who has visited the city of Xiangjiang. Everyone is envious of the economic development there.

Pengcheng is located next to Xiangjiang. In the early stages of development, it was natural to learn from this "neighbor" and target Xiangjiang.

But it is not that everyone cannot see some of the problems caused by Xiangjiang's prosperity.

That is, this city is not livable, especially for ordinary people. The high housing and commodity prices have put great pressure on many people at the bottom!

People in many cities in the mainland complain about high housing prices, small houses, and difficulty living in them.

But they can’t imagine the living conditions of ordinary people over there in Xiangjiang!

It is very common in Xiangjiang for a family of seven or eight people from three generations to live in a "pigeon cage" of 20 to 30 square meters!

A house with hundreds of square meters is just the standard living area for a family of three in China, but it is considered a "luxury house" over there!

Of course, the wealthy people in Xiangjiang are not included...

For wealthy people, life there is indeed very convenient and the living environment is good.

…………

Mayor Zhang is naturally very aware of Xiangjiang's problems.

He hesitated and asked: "Can't we have both? It's as economically developed and wealthy as Hong Kong, but at the same time, it can also allow ordinary people to live and work in peace and contentment, and their lives will be less stressful."

Wang Ye smiled and shook his head, and asked him: "Can you give me an example? In any country with a population of more than 30 million in the world, which city has achieved this?"

Excluding some special circumstances such as "one city equals one country" or small Nordic countries with a pitifully small population, countries with a slightly larger population will indeed not be able to find cities that meet the conditions.

Especially for a country with a large population like China, no matter how amazing your economic development is, if the results are calculated on a per capita basis, it will immediately "stretch your hips"...

Mayor Zhang was stunned and smiled awkwardly. He really couldn't think of a city that met the conditions.

I could only laugh at myself and say: "Yes, Pengcheng has just started. Let alone nothing, we really can't expect to cover everything."

Wang Ye nodded and said:

“It is actually not difficult to simply develop the economy, and Pengcheng also has unique conditions.

The reason why I said you hold a gold mine is because of the land in Pengcheng.

This is a huge fortune..."

Mayor Zhang was a little disappointed. Land was of course wealth, and he knew this, so he didn't need Wang Ye to point him out.

I originally thought that Wang Ye could have some different ideas, but now it seems that it is just like that.

Wang Ye saw Mayor Zhang's disappointment, smiled nonchalantly, and continued: "The current land price in Pengcheng is so low, especially land that can be developed for commercial housing."

"It's not low anymore. The average house price in Pengcheng now reaches 5,000 yuan, and the land transfer fee is about 2,000 to 3,000 yuan per square meter. Compared with other cities in the country, it is considered high." Mayor Zhang said frankly. said.

Wang Ye shook his head and said meaningfully:

"What if the average house price in Pengcheng reaches 50,000, or even higher!

Can the land transfer fee reach more than 40,000 yuan per square meter or more?

Then by selling the land, will the city be able to get huge amounts of funds to speed up development? "

Many people complain about the development of domestic real estate, believing that housing prices are too high and ordinary people cannot afford it.

But everything has two sides.

Of course, high housing prices have its bad sides, but its good sides cannot be ignored.

Apart from anything else, in the next few years, there will be great development of infrastructure across the country. Where will the money come from for the highways, high-speed trains, beautiful roads in the city, complete water and electricity facilities, and parks everywhere?

It can only be said that those who buy houses have made "selfless" contributions to the development of the country!

Land is sold at high prices in various places, and after the money is obtained, it is invested in urban construction, infrastructure, public transportation, education and medical care, etc.

These require huge amounts of funds.

It is impossible to achieve such a rapid development just by relying on steady economic development and slowly accumulating taxes.

Behind the high housing prices are thousands of home buyers, who use the savings of two generations of their families, plus the income of the next twenty or thirty years, to promote the development of the country...

It's a bit sad and a bit ridiculous to say it, but in that environment at that time, or at that time point, the country had no better choice.

Going deeper into the discussion, there are some things that are difficult to elaborate on. I can only say that every generation of us is born with a mission!

It has been hard for one or two generations, but as long as we grit our teeth and get through it, we can benefit future generations.

Thinking about it this way, you may feel a lot more balanced...

Mayor Zhang was stunned by Wang Ye's words!

The house price is 50,000...

Even higher!

Is this something Pengcheng dares to think about?

To what extent does the city need to develop to achieve this housing price? It has to catch up with Xiangjiang next door!

Maybe it will take twenty or even thirty years to achieve this goal...

if everything goes well!

…………

What Wang Ye is going to talk about next can be described as "dragon-slaying skills"!

In fact, it is also a development idea explored by Pengcheng in the "previous life". Even if he doesn't say it now, Pengcheng will embark on this path in two years.

Don’t forget that there are many talented people in China, especially in the political arena. There are so many real elites!

In European and American countries, elites have gone to work as lawyers, doctors, and finance, but in China, many elites choose to go into politics. This is the difference...

The reason why it is called "Dragon Slaying Technique" is because this set of things is only suitable for doing in Pengcheng.

Only Pengcheng has the corresponding policies, location, and environment.

These things are indispensable!

Moreover, Pengcheng's foundation is too poor. If it wants to develop rapidly, it can only take this path.

Unlike cities like the Capital and Magic City, where people have a good foundation and a solid foundation, they can accumulate a lot.

Ignoring Mayor Zhang's surprise, Wang Ye continued on by himself:

“It’s actually not difficult to push up housing prices.

Take Pengcheng, for example, it already has very favorable investment policies, making it relatively easier to attract foreign investment.

But this is not enough!

I think the price of industrial land can also be appropriately lowered, which means that the cost of landing in Pengcheng for big companies will be lower!

Similarly, land for building office buildings can also be provided in large quantities and cheaply.

And the land for building residential buildings can reduce the quantity provided and increase the sales price! "

Mayor Zhang didn't react a little. Didn't he just say that he wanted to increase the land transfer price? Why now he said that he wanted to lower the price of industrial and commercial land, and also reduce the area of ​​residential land...

What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?

Zhang Xiaoxi was listening attentively. She also didn't understand the reason and couldn't help but ask:

"But……

As a result, wouldn’t the city receive less land transfer money?

Moreover, if you lower the price of industrial and commercial land on the one hand, and increase the price of residential land on the other, will any developers take advantage of this and come to buy your high-priced residential land? "

Mayor Zhang nodded vigorously. The question Zhang Xiaoxi asked was something that even he couldn't understand.

He didn't have the nerve to ask just now, but now Zhang Xiaoxi asked it for him.

Wang Ye smiled slightly after hearing this and said: "With preferential policies and low operating costs, will there be more investment?"

Mayor Zhang and Zhang Xiaoxi both nodded and had no objection to this question.

Originally, Pengcheng had great advantages in attracting investment. After all, it is a "special zone" and it is close to Xiangjiang, the "window" that communicates with the world. Therefore, Pengcheng has become a landing place for many foreign investments into the mainland.

If the prices of industrial parks and office buildings are further reduced, the appeal will obviously be even greater!

Wang Ye continued to ask: "With more investment and more companies, will we be able to attract more talents to work and settle in Pengcheng?"

Mayor Zhang and the two were stunned for a moment, then nodded.

There is no problem with this. If there are more job opportunities, talented people will naturally gather there.

Although there are no local universities in Pengcheng, there are quite a few at Yangcheng University next door!

And unlike Xiangjiang, although Pengcheng is on the coast, it is still a domestic city with free population movement, and there is no obstacle for university graduates from the north to come and work.

Compared with Yangcheng, Pengcheng actually has another advantage that seems inconspicuous but is actually very attractive!

That is, there are almost no locals in this city. Most people come from all over the country. Everyone speaks Mandarin and few Cantonese.

In this way, there will be no "exclusion" phenomenon...

Maybe many people don't think so, but in reality there are indeed many people who choose to come to Pengcheng instead of Yangcheng next door because of this.

Including Wang Ye in the previous life!

When he came to the south, his first stop was Yangcheng. After all, Yangcheng at that time was much better than Pengcheng in all aspects.

But when looking for a job there, many companies will specifically indicate in their recruitment requirements that they need to be able to speak Cantonese!

Just this one thing made Wang Ye give up completely and turned around to Pengcheng...

Of course, if you just go to the factory to make screws, Yangcheng will not require you to speak Cantonese.

This refers to the job requirements of ordinary companies.

…………

“With more companies and more talents, the demand for housing will skyrocket.

Does this provide the basic conditions for pushing up housing prices?

As I said just now, reducing the supply of residential land and raising land prices is equivalent to boosting the rise in housing prices.

After combining several factors, I believe that the housing prices in Pengcheng will rise rapidly. Let alone the neighboring Yangcheng, it will not surprise me even if it surpasses the capital and Magic City.

If housing prices are high, will the residential land transfer price also increase significantly, and won't the city be able to get more money? "

Wang Ye explained with a smile.

Mayor Zhang and Zhang Xiaoxi finally understood. This is indeed the truth...

Land is a "non-renewable resource", especially Pengcheng, which has such a large area and limited land.

If you transfer one piece, you will lose one piece!

Therefore, we must use "good steel on the blade"!

In fact, there are still development ideas later, but there is no need for Wang Ye to explain further, Mayor Zhang has figured it out himself...

…………

“Increased investment will provide more jobs and high-paying positions, attracting talents from all over the country to work and settle in Pengcheng.

Push up housing prices and get large amounts of land transfer money.

Then invest in urban construction and infrastructure to further improve urban competitiveness.

It can even support the development of pillar industries!

When the city develops to a certain level, land transfer fees will no longer be a major source of fiscal revenue because those enterprises have already developed.

Then the city will receive a large amount of tax revenue every year!

Then the taxes paid by enterprises can be used to improve the living conditions of ordinary people and build a large number of public rental housing and talent housing..."

Once the train of thought started to open up, it was a bit hard to hold back, and Mayor Zhang started talking non-stop with his eyes gleaming.

Wang Ye smiled and said nothing, because these are the roads Pengcheng "used to" travel...

It was just a coincidence today that he told Mayor Zhang in advance!

…………

Of course, as a huge city with a population of 20 to 30 million, Pengcheng faces various problems in its development that are certainly not that simple.

In Wang Ye's previous life, he had gone through several stages of Pengcheng's development.

Start by learning from Xiangjiang, then learn from Lion City, and finally go your own way...

There is no right or wrong, it’s just that the time is different and the general environment is different, so the corresponding development ideas cannot always be the same.

After Mayor Zhang finished speaking, he felt a little unfinished. He felt that he already had a clear plan for the next development of Pengcheng!

But, who is this young man in front of me!
