Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 868 Agreement

Everyone sat down on the sofa, and two young women made tea for everyone.

The district head pointed to the two people sitting to his right: "Chairman Zhang, General Manager Chen, these two are Director Hu and Director Mou from the supply and marketing cooperative. Please get to know them. It was quite a struggle for me to get them here. These two are very busy people and now they are very wealthy. It's not easy to meet them."

Xiao Wei and Chen Hui stood up and went over to shake hands with Director Hu and Director Mou, exchanging a few words of flattery.

The district head said to Xiaowei, Chen Hui, and Director Hu Mou, "We can talk about your matters later. We have a lot of people here, so let's take care of our business first."

The Land Bureau, now officially called the Planning and Land Management Bureau, produced the blueprints; the Housing Bureau produced the property registration forms; the Public Security Bureau produced the household registration forms; and the Investment Promotion Bureau presented the relevant terms and conditions, as well as the various support measures the district could provide.

Business registration and taxation are like after-sales service. I'm here today to get acquainted with them. Since the factory is here, all matters related to document changes, asset increases, and taxes will be managed, or rather, services, by them from now on.

Urban construction is responsible for the implementation of urban planning, construction, management and execution, and can be considered a management unit. Urban management is responsible for demolition work, which can be considered part of investment services.

The director of the Urban Construction Bureau took out relevant documents and explained the latest requirements and regulations regarding the city's overall planning to Xiaowei and Chen Hui.

This plot of land is right outside the red line; once it crosses Wanliu Avenue, high-rise buildings cannot be built.

This was the district chief's original intention in transferring the entire Fengkong district to him. Although they were not under local jurisdiction, the district government still had to give them face. Whether or not high-rise buildings could be built was entirely up to Fengkong. If they said no, then no matter what, you couldn't build them.

First, the location of the land parcel was confirmed with the land bureau. Then, the land bureau and the urban construction bureau met and agreed that the land could be transferred.

Then the housing bureau provided the number of households to be relocated. There are a total of 37 property ownership certificates on this land, including two for industrial land (issued by the street), none for commercial land, and 35 for private permanent residences, some of which have yards.

The Public Security Bureau has 57 registered household registrations, with no recent moves in or out.

The district head said, "Based on the investment promotion policies of the provincial, municipal, and district governments, and with reference to the relevant policies implemented by Dongling District this year, we have decided to allocate this land to you for use at a price of 30,000 yuan per mu. The land is designated for both commercial and residential use."

You'll enjoy the district's investment attraction policies, but there are also requirements: the total investment cannot be less than 20 million yuan, and it must create at least 200 jobs, with at least one-third of those jobs coming from the local population. Is that acceptable?

Chen Hui said, "We've already recruited dozens of people from this area. Don't worry, leaders, there's no problem. We guarantee we'll complete the task."

The district head said, "Regarding compensation for those being relocated, we've discussed it and decided to stick to our district's policy. Lowering it in Dongling might cause trouble, which would be bad for everyone. The compensation is 240 yuan per square meter for residential buildings and 150 yuan per square meter for courtyards. No compensation will be given for illegal structures or privately occupied courtyards. What do you think?"

Chen Hui said, "It's this low here?"

The district head chuckled and said, "Do you think everywhere is like Zhongjie? This area is an agricultural zone, and the elevation has already doubled."

Xiao Wei said, "Now there's a problem: should it be based on the property ownership certificate or the household registration certificate? If it's based on the household registration certificate, how will the extra amount be calculated?"

Demolition and relocation in the 90s varied from place to place, and there were no specific guidelines or regulations. Each locality formulated its own policies. However, the general approach was similar: providing housing and compensation, although the size and amount of land involved varied greatly.

There are also options with two choices, like in Shanghai, where you either get money or a house in the suburbs.

In Beijing, they provided both housing and money, but if you wanted a house in a good location, you had to pay extra to the government. So, back then, many people who were relocated had to pay out of their own pockets to move.

During that era, the living conditions of the citizens of Fengtian were among the best in the country, except for the Tiexi area; they could be ranked in the top three.

The district head said, "You're not losing out at all. We'll cover the extra amount; we'll discuss the specific method later, whether it's in the form of supplies or taxes, okay?"

Xiao Wei said, "Okay, I'll do as the leader says."

The district head smiled and shook his head, glancing at the investment promotion bureau. The investment promotion bureau took out the prepared contracts. Chen Hui called Liang Gaoyou up, and now he basically stayed here. It was comfortable, with a large private office.

Once the contract was signed, Xiaowei had the finance department transfer the land payment to the district's fiscal account. It wasn't much, only 450,000 yuan. He had gotten a good deal. He thought he should come back to check on it a few years after it was transferred to Shenhe District.

The district head immediately arranged for the urban construction department, the urban management office, and the public security bureau to form a temporary demolition team. The office was set up in Xiaowei's place, with several separate offices prepared for them downstairs, and the demolition began. The demolition office was managed by the urban construction bureau, with the public security bureau providing assistance, and Secretary Xie coordinating the process.

The office was already set up; with a quick arrangement, even the stationery was provided. In no time, the large red poster was up.

These days, you write everything down on a large piece of paper, find a flat wall, and stick it on with glue.

Xiao Wei called Shunzi and Liangzi into his office, explained the situation, and clarified all the conditions. He asked them to go work at the demolition office to cooperate, supervise, and help with liaison and errands. Someone had to supervise the measurement of each house and land plot; otherwise, the lower-level staff could cause all sorts of trouble.

Moreover, it probably mainly relied on the two of them to communicate. Back then, the neighbors had known each other for decades, knew each other well, and most of them had a very good relationship. Things that you couldn't handle, they could probably resolve with just a word.

The announced conditions are that the house will be provided according to the household registration, it will be an existing house, and residents must move in immediately. Specific floor numbers and unit types will be determined by drawing lots. Those who want a house in an apartment with an elevator will need to pay a portion of their savings and temporarily move in here, returning to their original location after two years.

There are two determining factors for apartment size: the size of the existing house and the number of family members. Both factors need to be considered. This is a matter for the government to handle; they have experience in this area. Replacing it with the original area is impossible, as there's a price difference involved, which the public accepts.

However, Xiaowei wouldn't be too demanding. The house is there, and it's best if everyone accepts it, since they still have many years to live together.

The demolition office began to get into action. Leaders from various departments took their leave one after another. The district head, Director Hu, Director Mou, Xiao Wei, and Chen Hui sat down, had some hot tea, and started talking about the Zhongjie area.
