Everyone in the meeting was surprised by the young county magistrate in front of them. Some people thought that Magistrate Zhao Xiaobei was young, courageous, energetic and thoughtful, and was a good leader.
Some people think that Zhao Xiaobei is a young man who came to be gilded. It was a big project from the beginning, not practical at all, just a big success.
Zhao Xiaobei also felt the atmosphere of the meeting. I understand that some people must feel that this development plan is too big. The county simply does not have enough funds to complete it, and the county also lacks companies to operate such projects.
Even if it is built, I don’t know how to operate it. Now I say that everything is just talk on paper. But this is the first government executive meeting he has chaired as county magistrate. It's hard for everyone to say anything.
He picked up the water glass and took a sip of water, and then asked the attendees:
"Everyone can speak freely. If there are any issues, we can discuss them on the table. Once the matter is decided, we must work hard and work harder after the meeting. This is also what the organization requires of us."
In addition to the deputy county magistrate, those present were party secretaries and directors of several important bureaus.
Everyone was unsure of the young county magistrate's temper, so no one dared to speak first.
Zhao Xiaobei also saw everyone's concerns, so he was ready to roll their names. At this time, Song Xiaoping, secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Director of the Finance Bureau, spoke:
"County Magistrate Zhao, I think this tourism development plan is very good. It can drive the overall fiscal revenue of our Anfeng County, solve a lot of jobs, and lead the people to get rich. It is a good project, a big project."
Zhao Xiaobei listened expressionlessly, knowing that he would say no later.
"However, it is difficult for our county finance to come up with funds for such a large project. Our county government now has a heavy task of maintaining operations. There is still a gap in the salary of cadres and employees next month. There are also some short-term government accounts that are due. We need 40 million more next month. So from the perspective of our Finance Bureau, it is really difficult for us to come up with the money. Even if such a project can win superior funds, we have to prepare matching funds ourselves. Now the Finance Bureau does not even have matching funds You can’t even take it out.”
After speaking, Song Xiaoping looked at Zhao Xiaobei. Zhao Xiaobei did not express his position, but asked directly:
"If you have any other questions, let's discuss them together."
With proofreading, there will be more to talk about later. Then came the deputy county magistrate in charge of business, industrial parks, and urban investment. Ren Zhichao also spoke:
"County Magistrate, there is another question. That is the issue of operation after we build it. This is also very important. There are basically no large companies of this type in our county and even our Huazhou City. For such a large company in the entire Yueshan Province, There are no mature companies for tourism development projects. So this must also be resolved."
Zhao Xiaobei watched County Magistrate Ren finish speaking, and then asked:
"Any questions?"
Next there is the Transportation Bureau, because the canal is their management unit, so there are still many problems. For example, in order to generate income, the slopes on both sides of the canal have been leased to private individuals to plant some commercial timber. If this plan is to be carried out, these issues also need to be resolved.
There are also canal breeding areas that have been subcontracted to private individuals for breeding aquatic fish. There are many related questions. Wait until everyone has finished speaking. Zhao Xiaobei then opened his mouth and said:
"Very good. If there are any issues, we will talk about them in meetings, but we won't discuss them later. Then I will share my personal views on these issues."
Everyone listened quietly to what Zhao Xiaobei said next:
"Let me talk about the financial issues mentioned by Director Song first. My idea is that we can consider such a model. Our government will release the land and issue approval documents. Then attract capital to enter and form a specialized tourism company with them. We can It is through holding shares, holding shares, or even allowing them to profit independently for 10 or 20 years, and then hand it over to the government and other different methods. Then the government also does some supporting construction, such as the design of the entire tourism project to public roads, the government can coordinate Funds are needed for construction, even if it involves farmland, we can integrate agriculture-related funds."
In one breath, Zhao Xiaobei recounted the experience and operating modes of later PPP projects. Such a model still serves the interests of many parties in Anfeng County. However, Zhao Xiaobei was the first to propose this operation. No one present at the meeting had heard of it or had any contact with it. So I don't know if it will work at all.
Then Zhao Xiaobei went on to say:
"As for the operational issues you reported, I think the capital parties that have entered are much more professional than our county government. Their main business is to make money. They have spent so much investment and must be thinking about returns. So there is no need for us to worry. , As for other issues, let me summarize, it is the issue of compensation, which will be solved when capital comes in. "
After saying that, the people at the scene started talking to each other. Zhao Xiaobei's operation made the people below. They all feel like they have seen a new world. It turns out that the government can still make money in this way, which is equivalent to empty hands.
So what follows is a sporadic exchange of opinions. Zhao Xiaobei did not step in to stop him. What he said was immediately digested by future generations. After all, many governments at all levels operated this way.
But in 2009, it was still very novel. Because the PPP project is also a construction project method proposed by the government 13 years later in order to promote the transformation of functions, optimize resource allocation, deepen reform and opening up, and promote the marketization of public resource allocation.
So everyone in 2009 needs time to digest it.
After a while, the scene became quiet. Zhao Xiaobei then asked:
"Then do you have any questions?"
At this time, Cai Guoqin, director of the Investment Promotion Bureau, spoke. Cai Guoqin is a lesbian, about 34 years old. At this age in the county, he is still very young to be the leader of the administrative bureau. This is also for the convenience of investment promotion work.
Lesbians have natural advantages when communicating with others. In addition, Cai Guoqin is very good-looking and is known as the beautiful director.
"County Magistrate, this large project will require at least several hundred million in the early stage. It will require continuous investment in the future, and the construction period will be longer than that of ordinary projects. It is estimated that it will be difficult to find a suitable investor."
"Well, Director Cai, you are right. So my idea is that it can be a consortium. For example, if the development company joins a professional tourism investment company to enter this project, so that everyone does their own professional things, the effect will be immediate. "
After Zhao Xiaobei said this, he took a drink of water. Then he said ""
"But let me tell you a question now. In fact, our biggest difficulty is not what we are discussing. The most difficult thing is the mining of tourism resources. How we tell the story of our Anfeng is the most difficult. As for the things you have raised , as long as there are good projects, we are not afraid of not having investors."
After speaking, looking at everyone, the atmosphere in the venue became much more lively. After Zhao Xiaobei said this, Huang Jiaxing also took the lead in applauding. The people below started to applaud.
They were inspired by their active thinking as a young county magistrate, and lamented that it was no wonder that someone became a county magistrate at such a young age. There are several brushes there. Such a big project was proposed at the beginning, and it was done in a small way.
As long as it succeeds, it will be a great benefit. It also has a vital impact on Anfeng County.
