I, Qi Tongwei, will never yield, even if it means defeating fate by half a move.

Chapter 172 Funds are still not enough



Chapter 172 Funds are still not enough

When are you planning to bring this up?

Such a big decision couldn't have been made by just Qi Tongwei and the other two; the township government and the township party committee needed to hold a meeting to discuss it.

After the township approves the plan, it still needs to be submitted to the county party committee and county government for review. Construction can only officially begin after the county party committee and county government approve it.

However, they don't need to worry that the county party committee and county government will not agree.

Lei Yaohua and Fang Zhigang definitely gave their strong support; they were the ones who gave Biyun Township an extremely difficult task.

In order to complete the task, Biyun Township had no choice but to start by developing a new town.

"I've already asked the planning and construction office to do the planning and design; we'll discuss it again in a while."

Releasing information in advance makes it easy for others to take advantage of the situation.

Furthermore, the township should restrict land transfers near the county government to avoid difficulties in land acquisition when the township undertakes development and construction in the future.

We must plan ahead and make preparations in advance to save ourselves a lot of trouble later.

"Get the planning and construction office to produce the plan as soon as possible, then quickly bring it to a meeting for discussion and finalize the matter as soon as possible."

Let's start work as soon as possible so we can complete the tasks assigned by the Party Secretary and the County Head.

Regarding the land issue, expedite the issuance of a new document restricting land transfers.

This can't be kept secret for long; it's better to confirm it sooner rather than later.

Chen Xinghua didn't have much time to spend in the village, so he had to let Qi Tongwei do it.

"Okay, Secretary, I'll have the Land and Resources Bureau and the Land Management Bureau issue a document right away."

I've been personally following up on this over the past few days, conducting on-site investigations, and trying to finalize the plan as soon as possible.

Developing a new town requires a complete plan and corresponding design before it can be discussed and approved at a meeting.

"In addition, you need to plan your finances well. First, ensure the work that was planned beforehand is completed, and then use the funds to develop the new town."

The plans we made before were very important; we can't just take away the money from those jobs just because we want to build a new town.

Otherwise, it will affect the development of the village.

"Okay, Secretary!"

I have already assigned the task of preparing the budget to Secretary Feiyang, Mayor Zhengyi, Director Xu, Mayor Hanwen, Mayor Dagang, Mayor Qingwei, and Mayor Xianglin.

I will only start planning the new town project after they have completed their budget.

I will use the money submitted by the trading company to cover the planned tasks first.

It's impossible to allocate a budget for a new town right away, and other work can't be affected either.

Only when other work is proceeding normally and smoothly can the development of the new town begin.

This kind of thing can't be done recklessly; we can't just focus on our own political achievements and ignore development in other areas.

Qi Tongwei wanted political achievements, but even more so, he wanted stable development in Biyun Township.

Only in this way can he rely on the development of Biyun Township to successfully advance to the deputy director level in the future.

However, we still need to get the new towns started as soon as possible, so that they can show results quickly.

After returning to his office and finishing his work, Qi Tongwei called over Bu Fan, the director of the Land Management Office, and Teng Fuqiang from the Land and Resources Bureau.

"Comrade Bu Fan and Comrade Teng Fuqiang, your two departments should go back and issue a notice."

The land in Biyun Village, Cangyu Village, and Tuanjie Village is prohibited from being transferred privately.

Meanwhile, no new residential or industrial land will be approved for these three villages for the time being.

Qi Tongwei said to the two of them.

"Yes, Mayor!"

Bu Fan and Teng Fuqiang didn't understand why Qi Tongwei wanted them to do this, but they dared not voice any objections.

They were all able to get their positions as directors of the land management office and the land resources office because of Qi Tongwei.

After Bu Fan and Teng Fuqiang left, Qi Tongwei called Wen Lichao, the director of the Urban Construction Office, over.

"Comrade Wen Lichao, from now on, no one is allowed to carry out construction on the other side of the Biyun River without the permission of the township."

The new town should be built on the other side of the Biyun River, where there are currently few people and no need for demolition.

Qi Tongwei was worried that if the news got out, someone would secretly build houses there.

"Yes, Mayor!"

Wen Lichao nodded in agreement, it seems the township is about to make a big move.

Next, Qi Tongwei instructed the Party and Government Office to issue a document in the name of the township:

Construction is prohibited on the other side of the Biyun River, and the land of Biyun Village, Cangyu Village, and Tuanjie Village is prohibited from being transferred privately.

In the following days, Qi Tongwei did not stay in the office, but went to the other side of the Biyun River for on-site investigation.

He also shared his thoughts with Wang Shangfei from the Planning and Construction Office.

The new town that the village is planning to build must be modernized.

Wang Shangfei had never been to Mingzhu, nor to Huacheng or Pengcheng in Lingnan. He thought the new town was like a county town.

But the county town wasn't what Qi Tongwei wanted; it lacked distinctive features and failed to highlight the uniqueness of Biyun Township.

There aren't many tall buildings in the county town. There are only one or two six- or seven-story buildings, and not many four- or five-story buildings either. Most of them are two- or three-story buildings.

Many of them are tile-roofed houses.

Qi Tongwei wanted buildings like Mingzhu, Huacheng, and Pengcheng, all of which were six or seven stories or even taller.

In reality, what Qi Tongwei wanted most was high-rise buildings.

In later generations, many towns and villages, like cities, built many high-rise buildings.

However, it's unrealistic to build skyscrapers right away, as that would require a huge investment of hundreds of millions or even billions of yuan.

Based on the current growth rate of the trading company, it will earn at most 100 million next year.

After paying taxes and deducting the money needed for the development of the trading company, it would be around tens of millions.

Of these tens of millions, another ten or twenty million will be used for the various tasks planned in advance.

In other words, not much money can be used for the new towns.

It seems we need to let the trading company make more money.

Only in this way can more money be invested in the new towns for development and construction.

To enable trading companies to earn more money, they need to change their existing model, shifting from self-sales to wholesale and outsourcing the sales work to others.

Only in this way can we speed up the sales process and earn more money.

However, this would significantly reduce the relative profits of trading companies.

In the past few days, Qi Tongwei has received three royalties totaling 132 million yuan (after tax), sent by the Masses Daily, the Freedom Daily, and the Hanjiang Daily.

Their fourth batch of 10 copies of "The Rise of a Great Power" has sold out.

In total, the circulation of "The Rise of a Great Power" has reached 76 copies.

If another 24 copies are issued, the total circulation of "The Rise of a Great Power" will reach 100 million copies.

If the book reaches a circulation of 100 million copies, Qi Tongwei will truly become a well-known writer.

Based on the popularity of the book "The Rise of a Great Power," Qi Tongwei felt that selling 100 million copies would be easy.

The fourth batch of Southern Daily, Huacheng Morning Post, Mass Daily, Free Daily and Hanjiang Daily each had a circulation of 20 copies, totaling 80 copies.

Next year, these 80 copies should be able to be sold.

By then, the circulation of "The Rise of a Great Power" will reach 156 million copies.

The question now is whether the rise of a great power will qualify for the Mao Dun Literature Prize.

If the rise of a great power could win the Mao Dun Literature Prize, his reputation would be even greater.

Once Qi Tongwei obtains his doctoral degree the year after next, he won't have to worry about not being able to get promoted to deputy director level.
