Chapter 674 Land Crisis
After hearing Li Gu ask about the preparations for the Xinpu refining and chemical project, Chen Huai leaned forward slightly and smiled: "The State Planning Commission has not yet launched the project approval process. Where can Xinpu prepare? It is just dragging it there..."
Hearing Chen Huai's eyes sloppy, Li Gu laughed and said to Sun Fujing: "Chen Huai was covering it, and he didn't even tell the truth to me. It seemed that he had hidden a lot of secrets, and he was afraid that I would report it if I knew it..."
Sun Fujing looked at his watch and said, "The luncheon should be ready. I will go over and have a look first; Secretary Li, you can chat with County Mayor Chen for a while..."
What lunch is prepared at noon in the hotel? Of course, Sun Fujing doesn't need to be concerned about in person. However, he also knew that Chen Huai was impossible for Li Gu to come to Huaixi this time to participate in the completion of the coke technical transformation project. He was just polite at that time and invited Li Gu and Chen Huai to attend the completion ceremony. He did not want Chen Huai. Li Gu agreed to attend and specifically told him not to disturb the place. Sun Fujing guessed that Li Gu might have wanted to use this reason to bypass other people's attention and talk to Chen Huai about what matters.
Qin Dawei and others stood up and followed Sun Fujing to the banquet hall first, stayed in the lounge and had a secret conversation with Li Gu.
Seeing Sun Fujing leaving, Li Gucai said to Chen Huai: "After the provincial party committee inspection team arrived in Donghua, it was a temporary decision by Secretary Tian. I came here this time, Secretary Tian asked me to ask you what you think?"
"I was quite surprised when I heard the inspection team deploying the inspection work plan the day before yesterday," Chen Huai asked, "No one really reported me, right? I followed the rules for the Xinpu Refining and Chemical Project this time, and I didn't even build a foundation pile. What did they report to me in the province?"
"It's not to report to the province," Li Gu took out a piece of materials from his briefcase and handed them to Chen Huai, saying, "The reporting materials were handed directly to the Ministry of Agriculture. The Ministry of Agriculture still saw that Secretary Tian was the old minister's face and transferred the materials to the province for processing..."
After hearing what Li Gu said, Chen Huai's scalp was numb and felt extremely difficult. After taking the materials, he looked at them and reported directly to the Ministry of Agriculture that the Xiapu County Government and Xinpu Development Group had occupied arable land.
The materials list the detailed data on the requisition of cultivated land for industrial projects since the establishment of the provincial development zone of Xinpu and the conversion of cultivated land along both sides of Meipu Avenue into greening land, which is actually a detailed data on the reserve land for industrial and new city projects.
At present, in terms of land reserves for industrial and urban infrastructure projects, policies and regulations are relatively vague, but local exploration is done. Some places have large amplitudes, while others have small amplitudes, which occupy some points and edges.
The State Council also has different views on this situation. Some people see the huge benefits of large-scale land reserves in improving the efficiency of industrial project construction, improving industrial layout planning as a whole, and increasing local fiscal revenue. Some people are worried that blindly expanding land reserves in the localities will bring about some unnecessary disadvantages.
However, since 1992, the domestic economic policy has been generally loose, so the various local economic independent behaviors have mostly turned a blind eye to them, or to ensure rapid economic growth.
Xiapu has made quite resolute land reserves, and it has moved in one year to resettle more than 40,000 households, and has vacate nearly 40,000 mu of construction land for the construction of the development zone and the new city.
After deducting the completed and under-construction projects, Xinpu Development Group has now mastered the construction land reserve of 167 square kilometers.
If we include the green land on both sides of the Pubei Highway outside Xinpu Development Zone and Lingang New City, the amount of land vacated by Xiapu in the past year is even more amazing.
The advantage of Chen Huai's doing this is that as long as there are investment promotion projects, they can immediately take root for the main project construction. Investors do not need to consider the issues of infrastructure and industrial supporting facilities.
Of course, the disadvantage of doing this is that the arable land area in Xiapu County will decline greatly in a short period of time, and the large number of demolition, resettlement and infrastructure projects have caused Xinpu Development Group and Beijing Investment Group to accumulate a large amount of debt...
This is not a big problem when the central government's economic policies are loose; now there are some problems due to overheating investment, and Southeast Asia is in a turmoil. If the national economic policies are tightened, problems will arise.
During the election incident, various rumors about Donghua’s debt problems in Xinpu Group also originated from this.
However, Chen Baoqi, Yu Chengzhen and others cannot directly point to the issue of Xinpu land reserves, because Donghua City adopts a relaxed attitude in reserve land, and needs to tighten it, criticize it by name, and start from Xicheng District.
Xinpu Development Group is solely controlled by Xiapu County Government. It represents the county government to acquire and store land. The land income generated is mainly used for local infrastructure construction. It also has a considerable subsidy for local education, transportation, medical and health care construction, and is the most important supplement to local finance.
Whose interests does Tianyi Group represent when building a pharmaceutical industrial park in Xipizha District?
It’s just that some people directly touched the Ministry of Agriculture, and the problem was a bit tricky.
At present, the total amount of arable land in China is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Agriculture. In the current situation of tight economic governments in the overall situation, if the Ministry of Agriculture filed a case on the grounds of encroachment of arable land, it would send a working group to investigate. If no one from above helped, Xinpu would probably be taken out as a terrifying chicken.
The bigger problem behind it is that the Ministry of Agriculture takes care of Tian Jiageng for the face of the old minister and transfers the reporting materials to Huaihai Province for disposal; he also came from the Ministry of Agriculture, and it is impossible for him to not get any news from Xinpu from the Ministry of Agriculture - this means that this time, together with the upper class of the Song Dynasty, he chose to watch their good shows together...
Seeing Chen Huai's face turned pale, Li Gu sighed in his heart and said, "After receiving the materials transferred from the Ministry of Agriculture, Secretary Tian sent someone to learn about the situation in Xinpu. After the State Council issued a financial notice in February, Xinpu temporarily stopped the large-scale land acquisition action, mainly promoting the construction of infrastructure such as road traffic and water and electricity. However, in Xiasha, Qingsha Villages are still very large, and the reporting materials will also provide detailed explanations for this later..."
Chen Huai said: "Xiapu's large-scale land reserves have caused a great impact on the county's arable land ownership. However, the county plans to build a modern agricultural demonstration zone project in the northern area in the near future, which will supplement the shortcomings of arable land through reclaimed sea and deserted beach renovation. After the entire project is completed, it will probably add more than 10,000 acres of high-quality arable land. Related planning work is being done, and it was originally planned to be delivered to the province by August. At the same time, the Xinpu Development Zone will be able to reserve a larger construction land through reclaiming sea, and the occupancy of arable land will be reduced..."
"Secretary Tian also learned about these situations," said Li Gu, "but Secretary Tian also asked me to tell you in advance. At the next provincial land work conference, Secretary Tian may criticize Xinpu by name. Secretary Tian said this to me. He will leave Huaihai by the end of the year. If you want to criticize Xinpu by name in the future, I am afraid there will be no chance..."
Chen Huai nodded and said, "I sincerely welcome Secretary Tian to criticize Xiapu's shortcomings in his work..."
Provincial Party Secretary Tian Jiageng publicly criticized Xiapu at the meeting. It was obvious that it was another severe crackdown on Xiapu after this inspection, but the intention behind it was not the painstaking protection?
At the end of the year, Tian Jiageng will be transferred from Huaihai Province to another important position. It is unknown who is the newly appointed provincial party secretary. When the upper class of the Song Dynasty chose to watch the show, the newly appointed provincial party secretary would not be lenient if he wanted to use Xinpu as a rooster to establish his authority. Even if the newly appointed provincial party secretary chooses a neutral attitude, Zhao Qiuhua, Dai Lesheng and others will never be as restrained as they are now. Even Xu Pei, the cadre of the Jingjing Department, had no good feelings for the Meigang System.
In order to avoid the Meigang system becoming passive at that time, Tian Jiageng must "suppress" in advance. He criticizes what should be criticized, prohibits what should be prohibited, and even squeezes out one or two pus cells, which greatly reduces the possibility that the Meigang system will become a target after he is transferred.
Thinking of this, Chen Huai couldn't help but sigh. Unexpectedly, when the Meigang System might be hit by a huge impact, the entire Song System chose to watch, but Tian Jiageng, who stood opposite the Song System, worked hard to protect the Meigang System from this severe impact.
However, Tian Jiageng had his difficulties, so it should not be too obvious. Perhaps he was afraid that he would be furious here, so he arranged for Li Gu's trip to Huaixi.
"Secretary Tian is also concerned about the preparations for the Xinpu Refining and Chemical Project," Li Gu continued, "In the future, Xinpu land acquisition work in Xiasha and Qingsha Villages will continue to expand. You said that Xinpu Refining and Chemical has not been drilled. However, Beishugang Road, Qingsha Breakwater, Qingsha Water Transportation and other projects will be launched one after another after April. They should be the supporting projects of Xinpu Refining and Chemical? The construction scale of the crude oil terminal supporting Zhujiang Refining and Chemical is also significantly greater than the design of the annual refining and chemical production capacity of Zhunan Plant of 1 million tons. Moreover, after April, the Xinpu Refining and Chemical Preparation Team has dispatched hundreds of engineers from Xu Oil Plant, which is obviously far exceeding the demand for project preparation..."
"We are working on all projects that can be broken down and carried out in advance. A new 100,000-ton crude oil terminal will be built on Qingsha Village Island, and construction will be started next month. If there is no approval, this terminal will be directly done in the name of Zhunan Refining and Chemical Co., Ltd. At the same time, the submarine pipeline laying between the West Bank storage tank area is actually the future chemical raw materials and oil pipelines. As well as the Qingsha Village Island Sewage Plant and Gaotan Sand Exit Sea Discharge Project will be launched one after another," said Chen Huai. "The main refining equipment including the hydrogenation tower has also successively signed orders with domestic and foreign suppliers mainly from the First Heavy Group. The preparation work has been carried out. It is basically the first foundation pile in the main factory area will be built when the approval document is completed..."
"So quickly," Li Gu knew the ability of Chenhuai to decompose the project, but was still shocked when he heard that the Xinpu Refining and Chemical Project had actually entered the stage of substantial large-scale construction. "How can the funds be solved?"
With such a large-scale refining and chemical project, the investment in supporting projects accounts for a considerable proportion. The investment in a 100,000-ton crude oil terminal and storage tank area may account for one-quarter to one-fifth of the entire project estimate.
Although the entire project only requires hundreds of millions of funds to start, the crude oil terminal, along with road infrastructure, water supply, power supply, sea reclamation, wave prevention, pollution discharge projects, and supporting projects such as laying crude oil and chemical pipelines on the seabed are fully launched. In addition, the main equipment and suppliers have finalized contracts for design and manufacturing, such a large number of engineering surfaces will definitely not be supported by one billion or eight hundred million funds in the early stage.
As far as Li Gu knows, Zhongxin Investment will sell 160 million shares of Meigong shares in its holdings to Fuji Iron for US$70 million, which can raise construction funds for Xinpu Refining and Chemical.
There is no problem in supporting the launch of the Xinpu Refining and Chemical Project, but if the Xinpu Refining and Chemical Project is fully launched, it will probably take less than two or three months to consume all this amount of funds. At that time, there will be no large amount of follow-up funds to follow up, and once the entire project stagnates, it will cause a double crisis in credit and fund supply.
Zhongxin sold its shares of listed companies to Fuji Iron. This is to be announced to the public. Chen Huai believes that Li Gu should have noticed it and said: "In addition to selling its shares of Meigong to Fuji Iron, Zhongxin has also joined forces with multiple investments to borrow a total of 32 billion yen from Fuji Iron-related Yasuda Bank. This loan has been exchanged for US dollars and is included in the overseas accounts of Zhongxin, Hongji and Changqing Group. We are waiting to get the approval document. We will review the funds at any time to enter..."
