South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 352 Conspiracy

"Maybe no one will invest now. After all, as you said, the investment is too big and there is almost no risk for investors. However, we can start with a small one. If we can't build a big shopping mall, we can build a smaller one first."

"But I suggest that we should start the Central Avenue project first. If this project is completed well, it will definitely attract many tourists in the future, even tourists from other places."

"Also, we can vigorously develop industrial land and build industrial sites in these towns in the west. Various foreign processing bases can be placed here. Another benefit is that it can provide jobs. There are still many people here."

"Most of them make a living by farming, but there are also many idle people in their families. If we can build a processing base here, they can have an extra income and their families can live better. And to say the least, this can also further stimulate economic circulation."

Song Hongkuo nodded slowly. He felt that what Yuan Mu said made sense. In fact, although Song Hongkuo was the mayor of Harbin, there were not many people who understood economics in this era. Most of them only had a superficial understanding and were certainly not as clear as Yuan Mu, who came from later generations.

"You are right. By the way, you just said that this plan is not the final version, right?" Song Hongkuo said as he picked up the plan.

“Yes, there are still some that are not finished.”

"how long will it take?"

"If I write it quickly, it will probably take a week." Yuan Mu said after thinking for a while.

"Okay, I'll give you another ten days. You can organize this plan and hand it over to me. I'll study it carefully."

"Okay, I'll finish it as soon as possible."

"Well, do a good job. I've also heard about your demolition team. They have some good ideas. We'll implement them in Daoli District first. If possible, I'll promote them throughout the city!"

"Yes, thank you Mayor Song."

"Don't worry about the rest. Just do what you want. I support you."

"Thank you, Mayor Song!" Yuan Mu was immediately happy when he heard the other party's affirmative answer. He knew that Song Hongkuo was deceived by the big promise he had made.

This is not entirely a pipe dream, all of it can be achieved, but some things are too advanced to be achieved. After all, it requires too much money, and developers probably don't want to pay that money as the risk is too great. Just take it step by step, and it will be achieved sooner or later.

"By the way, Mayor Song, can the city approve some funding? The district's finances are a little insufficient right now. Although my plan is good, building roads and other things requires money." Yuan Mu asked tentatively.

"You kid! Are you waiting for me here? You have trapped me here first. Your biggest goal is to get money, right?" Song Hongkuo pointed at Yuan Mu with a smile.

"I really can't hide anything from you." Yuan Mu said with a silly smile.

"Okay, your plan has impressed me. Let me ask the city's finance department to allocate some money to you first. You can use it first, and we can come back later if it's not enough." Song Hongkuo said with a wave of his hand.

"Thank you, Mayor Song! Thank you, Mayor Song!" Yuan Mu thanked him repeatedly excitedly.

Today is such a good day. Song Hongkuo recognized me and also approved a sum of funds. This is really a double happiness.

The biggest reason why Song Hongkuo supported him so much was because he saw hope in Yuan Mu's plan. He was 55 years old this year, and he wanted to go one step further in his remaining political career. If Yuan Mu's plan could succeed, it would be a great political achievement.

It is probably impossible for him to be appointed as the Party Secretary of Harbin, but it is possible for him to be transferred to another provincial party committee or serve as the Party Secretary of another provincial capital city. In that case, he will be able to take office at the ministerial level during the next term change and extend his political life.

. . . . . . . .

After returning to the district, Yuan Mu began to refine the plan in his hand. He took into account everything from the construction of shopping malls, tourist attractions and transportation routes to minute details, especially the problem of urban drainage. Harbin is a big city with a permanent population of several million. If it develops for another ten years, the population is expected to exceed 10 million.

This is not a small number. With so many people, many residential areas must be built, but the space is limited, so problems will follow.

If there is a heavy rainstorm and the drainage system in the city is not good, it will easily become a flooded city, so the drainage system must be good.

While Yuan Mu was busy with the plan, several developers on the other side were turning around in circles in a hurry. They had received the news that Yuan Mu was not reprimanded by Song Hongkuo, but the two of them were chatting very happily, which made them feel uncomfortable.

Their original intention was to use the power of the city to pressure Yuan Mu to compromise, to stop making so much trouble, and to quickly demolish their houses so that they could proceed with the next step of construction, but now it seems that this is no longer possible.

"I say, what should we do next? This Yuan Mu seems to have set his sights on us. If we follow all the normal procedures, it will take too long."

"This is not the most important thing. Don't you find that Yuan Mu is too serious? We can do what he says in this matter, but what about in the future? Will he interfere again when we build the building? Will he send someone to supervise us? This is the most disadvantageous to us."

"Yes, we are here to make money, not to be supervised by him. If he continues to do this, the money we can make will be greatly reduced, mainly because it takes too long!"

"How about we give him a push?"

"Tell me more about it."

"Well, let's withdraw our investment and see what he does!"

"Lao Zhang, what if he really agrees?"

"Impossible. We are here to invest. To put it bluntly, we are here to give him political achievements. Yuan Mu is so young, doesn't he want political achievements? Who will build the building after we leave?"

"What about Li Zhiming? We gave him a lot of money, but he is a loser! A district party secretary can't even control a district mayor!"

"We can't help it. Yuan Mu is from Kyoto, so he must have a background. What kind of background does Li Zhiming have? He can't compare to him. So, let's talk to Li Zhiming first. What do you think?"

"Well, I think we can give it a try."

"Okay, then I'll ask Li Zhiming out tonight so we can have a good discussion."

"Okay, let's do it."

So, in the evening, these developers asked Li Zhiming out, and they talked in detail for a long time, but no one knew what they talked about except them.
