After the thunder, a steady drizzle fell, moisturizing the earth south of La Pampa grassland.
To be honest, the precipitation in Blanca City is indeed a bit less, and it is not comparable to Buenos Aires in the north.
This is the first rain before the arrival of summer in Blanca City. The temperature has slowly risen to 18 degrees Celsius, and it was almost 22 degrees Celsius at noon, which looks a bit like summer.
"It seems that it has not rained for a long time. Fortunately, there is no big problem with the water supply of Blanca City's water plant, and some water can be stored."
There are now almost 700-800,000 people in the city. The combination of domestic drinking water and industrial agriculture has put a little pressure on Blanca City, which has less rainfall than the northern province. Fortunately, there are small tributaries near the Colorado River, and the hydropower station is sufficient. The reservoir is large and the current water storage is sufficient, so there is no big problem.
St. Jose changed into fresh clothes and stood by the window of the city hall, looking at the continuous drizzle outside and listening to the thunder, and felt surprisingly peaceful in his heart.
Although he is not very old, he is only twenty-four years old this year. In his prime, he is already considered a powerful person.
He sat casually on the chair, but the two beards above his lips added a bit of dignity to him. He looked like a capable official in his thirties, adding a mature and fierce temperament to him.
The rain started and stopped, stopped and started falling again. The sun was still shining in the morning, but it became dark at noon. The lingering raindrops still fell from the sky, which made people feel refreshed and happy.
The rain lasted for three days and three nights before it completely stopped, completely soaking the dry land, which was quite rare.
The three major provinces adjacent to Blanca City have been penetrated quite well by San Jose. The largest tentacle is the Southern Radical Party, and the rest are various commercial companies, such as Chubut and Santa Cruz Provinces. The key provinces for oil development are now slowly approaching. To the south, Tierra del Fuego and the like are just around the corner and not very important anymore.
Now he has recruited a large number of social talents. In addition to talents distributed in major companies, some are also placed in the Provincial Department of Blanca City Hall to help him control these huge power teams, and the San Martin City Hall has also It can be seen as his sphere of influence.
Some of these talents are good at financial management and running and managing companies and factories, while some are political elites and are good at urban management, forming a large, complex and sophisticated force.
For example, the city of San Martín has a population approaching half a million, firmly ranking as the second largest city in the province of Cordoba, and it can vaguely challenge the authority of Cordoba, just like Rosario.
He still controls the city of St. Martin. Most of the members of St. Martin's Parliament and city hall officials are also closely related to him. About 30% of the entire city's economic industry belongs to him, and he owns more than half of the real estate in the entire city. He developed most of the industrial areas, and he is also the largest charterer in St. Martin City. At least the money is not too much, and he does not want to make this money.
San Martin City is also developing very fast now, and its economic strength is quite close to that of Cordoba, but its political status is not as good as Cordoba. But as long as the population of San Martin City can continue to grow, sooner or later it will be able to compete with Cordoba. Erdoba competes with it.
Another very important thing is that the geographical location of St. Martin is actually not bad. It is also a railway transportation hub city. It is also convenient to communicate with neighboring provinces and cities. Moreover, because it is located on a plain, it can better communicate with other provinces. Such as Santa Fe, San Luis, Santiago, La Pampa, Mendoza and other provinces.
Some of the old companies owned by St. Jose, including Blue Cloud Textile, Philip Industries, Maya Chemicals, Prali Foods, Mirinda Beverages and Foods, and Cohen Construction, all have important production bases or regional headquarters here, and they are also the eyes of St. Jose.
For example, the newly established San Martin Commercial Bank, the University of San Martin, and the San Martin Insurance Company all have his shadow, shareholding, and even controlling interest behind them.
If the current Mayor Cross really wants to get rid of his control, then he just needs to replace him. Cross was originally just a general manager of his company, and his ability level was relatively average. There are not many such people. But definitely a lot.
Some of the confidential departments of St. Martin City are also firmly controlled by St. Jose. This is where he made his fortune after all. How could he not pay attention to it? At first, he just gave in and retreated. Who really wants to take advantage of St. Martin City? Meat, it depends on whether his teeth are good or not.
Others, like the direct military lineage in the Potassium Triangle region, now earn thirty to forty million US dollars in profits from Thunder Mining and Andes Tobacco Company every year. After Pajun Copper and Jujuy Iron Mine are put into production, they may even reach Profits of 70 to 80 million US dollars.
These huge profits are also one of the reasons that support the major industries of San Jose and the rapid development of Blanca City.
At present, the development of Blanca City has entered another bottleneck, which is not too big or too small, and he is thinking about how to solve it.
I can't help but have complicated thoughts.
…
In order to further increase the development potential of Blanca City and develop a large area of land to the west of the city, San Jose plans to develop a new district between the Bosca District and the Achlic District as the new administrative center of Blanca City, integrating municipal administration The relocation of the government department here will also promote the development of Akhrich and Poska districts and maintain a good relationship with the provincial government office.
With the continuous expansion of prosperous areas in Blanca City, Blanca, which used to have only one prosperous area in the east and west urban areas, is no longer able to meet the development situation.
Xicheng District, the current administrative center, was the first to develop on a large scale in Blanca City for a long time, and its potential has reached its limit. Although five old districts have been merged and redivided in the past two years and the administrative divisions of the east and west districts have been expanded, no matter in terms of land or Whether it is industrial zone development or various types of development, population development has reached a certain point.
Saint Jose's solution is to plan ahead and accelerate this trend, relocate the administrative center, and develop some more future industries, such as finance, electronics, electrical appliances, education, technology, biomedicine, aerospace, commercial trade, etc. They also require larger land for development and support.
In fact, Alta District is the fastest growing district in Blanca City now. It has surpassed the original East District. It is not only along the coast, but also has a large area.
Not only is the port excellent, but the Lingang Industrial Zone adjacent to the East District has now built a large number of industrial plants, forming numerous industrial zones. The industrial manufacturing industry has developed rapidly and it is the most important industrial development zone in Blanca City.
There are currently 24 large, medium and small industrial zones built, with at least more than 600 factories, 2.2 million square meters of factory buildings and supporting facilities, and a large number of trade markets, which are huge and quite prosperous.
Many universities, including National Southern University, are also located here, and a large number of factories include construction materials, textiles, food, steel, automobiles, leather, hardware, clocks, etc., and tax revenues are increasing significantly every month.
The problem is that the Alta District is too remote compared to the expanded Blanca City, even more remote than the Xicheng District, and does not have the conditions to establish a new administrative center.
The rapid development of the Alta District in the Buenos Aires province is a wrong way, and it will also cause urban development to be biased and fail to take advantage of the provincial capital. After all, as a large province, the provincial capital If urban areas are close to other provinces rather than close to the province, that is also not conducive to development.
It is also easy to cause deformity in the future development of Blanca City. It will not be able to promote the development and interaction of the younger brothers in La Pampa Province. It will also be further away from the three small coastal cities. In this way, good development opportunities will be missed.
San Jose's goal of establishing the Greater Blanca City Metropolitan Area will not change, nor will the goal of Blanca Bay Area Cities. A prosperous and developing urban agglomeration is a virtuous cycle of development, which is far better than going it alone. With more, it is easier to develop industrial chains and achieve industrialization.
Moreover, it has been some time since the relocation of the La Pampa Provincial Hall. Although the Provincial Hall and Blanca City Hall are in the honeymoon period, if they are not tied together in the future, the relationship may deteriorate and resources may be concentrated elsewhere. .
This is what St. Hesse does not want to see. He wants to cut off the barriers between the provincial capital and the municipal government as much as possible, but he cannot put all his resources in the Achlic district where the provincial capital is located, which will completely separate him from the old town. Urban areas are not conducive to winning the support of citizens in the five major districts, and can easily cause conflicts between provinces and cities.
Boska District, which is neither far nor close, is a great choice. It is neither too far from Xicheng District nor too close to the provincial capital, which would also cause big trouble.
We do not want to separate the future Blanca City, but we also want distance to create beauty. If it is more outrageous, it may completely cause the split of Blanca City. Such a situation is entirely possible.
The current Poska District is close to Xicheng District. It is simply 14 kilometers west of the city hall. However, it can perfectly solve many small problems and development obstacles, such as the pollution problem of steel, coal and textile factories. The water resources here are also more abundant. , the development of a new canal, a large reservoir and a hydropower station are also close to the power supply. At the same time, it can also reduce the pressure of large population gathering in the old city and rebuild a new city, which has many benefits.
The distance of 14 kilometers is actually not a big problem in the highway era. It is basically just over half an hour's drive. By bus, it is basically only about 15 stops, and the commuting distance is 40-50 minutes. It's a whole new world.
Posca District can continue to expand its transportation network, build large ports, and achieve rapid development. After all, Posca District is also close to the Bay of Blanca.
The vast area in the middle can also allow the new central city and the old central city to form a super center serving the whole city, a larger, more mature and complete city center.
Since the expansion of Blanca City last year, the Xicheng District is no longer located in the center of Blanca City. A large amount of land in the west and south has not been developed, which is also an unstable factor for the future development of Blanca City. It has reached the point where it has to be changed. to the extent.
The current development of Bosca District is relatively slow, far inferior to Alta District, and even has a tendency to be overtaken by Macro District. This is a complete waste of the carefully planned merger of Saint Jose. This is also the reason why Saint Jose wants to establish a petrochemical industrial zone. One of the reasons is not just for the development of southern oil and Mayan chemicals.
Posca District itself is located within the currently planned second ring road. Saint-Jesse has adjusted its transportation plan in a timely manner. In addition to the existing Old Fifth District, a large area of new districts and towns to the east and south of Posca District has also been included in the development plan. It can be connected through several new main roads.
The new administrative center is roughly closer to the geographical center of Blanca City, and the distance to various districts and towns will be more reasonable and convenient. It is also located at the end of Blanca Bay, which is more conducive to city defense, and is not far from La Pampa. The province is also closer and further away from the military port of Belgrano.
Boska District can also be included in the main urban area. The Southern Petrochemical Industrial Zone actually only occupies a very small part of Boska District. Other land resources are quite abundant and will not be affected at all.
Under these conditions, Blanca's advantages in developing a port economy and building an international metropolis will continue to expand. A truly emerging industrial city will also emerge in southern Argentina, exerting influence on Chile and the Strait of Magellan, and in the South Pacific. and the South Atlantic region as a core city.
The situation of Boska District and Akhli District with backward transportation, slow economic development, low fiscal revenue, slow construction of educational infrastructure and slow population growth will be completely changed, and a large amount of construction funds can continue to flow into these two districts. In each district, a large amount of investment in infrastructure will completely change the current backwardness and realize the change from being subjected to blood transfusions to realizing self-hemogenesis.
…
Blanca City Hall Office,
Deputy Mayor Rostek was reporting on the latest situation. He was not very optimistic. The recent public opinion had put him under great pressure.
Although Rostek once served as a councilor in Buenos Aires, the situation he faced was far less complicated than that of Blanca Blanca today.
Blanca City is really a mixed bag now, with all kinds of people, not only locals but also foreigners, foreign workers, spies, all kinds of people, and the administrative population is also increasing rapidly every month.
It is impossible to dispatch the police when there is a riot. The situation this year is no longer as good as the previous stage of small riots. It is also a sign of incompetence to dispatch the police department and the defense force every time something happens.
"Mr. Mayor, the current situation of the city hall survey from Xicheng District to Boska District is not optimistic. There is a lot of public opposition at the citizen level, and the workers have also been incited."
"The people who strongly oppose this new policy can be summarized into the following categories: 1: those who hold major leadership positions in the city hall, 2: those whose main social relations and properties are in the two urban areas of Blanca City. These people roughly account for About 30% belong to the current upper class. Once classified, the interests of this group of people are more likely to be damaged. These people are strongly opposed to reform and are a vested interest group. They are also the biggest resistance to the reform and relocation of the city hall. 3 .In the development of the east and west urban areas of Blanca City, a large amount of wealth or investment has been obtained due to land and construction.”
"Actually, there are a lot of people who support it. A lot of construction means there are many civil service vacancies and there are many new opportunities. Many young people actually support relocation."
"Mr. Mayor, this is the general situation."
Rostek quietly sweated. It must be said that the pressure given to him by St. Jose was quite high, but he was also very grateful in his heart. This also meant that he had a brighter development.
After all, Saint Jose is now a very powerful figure in the city. His face only twitched slightly and he recovered immediately.
"Certain interest groups have now formed in Blanca City, and they own a large amount of assets in the east and west districts. If the administrative center is transferred, it will easily cause devaluation and even less than expected future development. State-owned enterprises have been established here and become Blanca Blanca City. The area with the most high-end jobs in the city will slowly move part of it westward if the city hall is relocated.”
Rostek continued to say that the state-owned companies and factories in Blanca City are developing very rapidly now, and the State-owned Assets Committee has contributed a lot. It currently controls institutions such as Blanca City Commercial Bank, Blanca City First Construction, Second Construction, and Bu 19 medium and large companies such as Lanka Department Store, Blanca Port, Blanca Medical and a number of municipal infrastructure companies are all relatively large in scale and have advanced management.
These state-owned companies also have good remuneration, good benefits, and are very formal. Joining a state-owned company is the dream job of many citizens of Blanca City, but the recruitment demand is not large, and the requirements are relatively high.
"Actually, this is a good thing. I will personally promote this matter."
Saint Jose's expression didn't change much, but he felt interesting.
The development of Blanca City was so smooth in the past few years. The east and west urban areas alone have created a large number of nouveau riche relying on real estate. But now it has become a constraint for the reform and relocation of the city hall. It is interesting.
Due to the huge import and export volume, Blanca City's customs duties have also increased significantly, and Blanca City has quickly become one of the two major trade centers in Argentina.
