South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 351 Drawing a pie

Yuan Mu took the initiative to walk over and stretched out his hand with a smile on his face.

"Hello, Chief Lou."

"Hello, District Chief Yuan." Lou Junzhi also smiled and shook hands with Yuan Mu.

"Is Mayor Song in there?"

"Well, the leader is inside. I'll take you in." Lou Junzhi nodded, then walked to the door and knocked gently.

The office door was not closed, and three seconds after the knock on the door, Song Hongkuo's voice was heard from inside the room.

"Come in!"

"Mayor, District Chief Yuan is here."

"Let him in." Hearing this, Song Hongkuo raised his head and said.

Lou Junzhi nodded, then turned and looked at Yuan Mu outside the door.

Yuan Mu walked into Song Hongkuo's office carrying a briefcase. This was not his first time here. He had been here once a few days after taking office.

The office is not small, at least bigger than his office, probably about 40 to 50 square meters. There are many facilities in the room, but most of them are for office use.

"Mayor Song!"

"Well, Comrade Yuan Mu is here, please sit down." Song Hongkuo nodded as he sat there, then pointed to the chair in front of him.

"Thank you, Mayor Song." Yuan Mu walked over to him and sat down with a smile on his face.

On the other side, Lou Junzhi poured Yuan Mu a glass of water, then tactfully left the office and closed the door.

"Comrade Yuan Mu, how is your work lately?"

"Very good, everything is going in an orderly manner." Yuan Mu said after thinking for a while.

"But I heard that you made the developers in Daoli District complain bitterly. They even filed a complaint with me, saying that you prevented them from carrying out the demolition work." Song Hongkuo's face showed no joy or sadness, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"Mayor Song, I would like to explain this."

Song Hongkuo nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"First of all, it wasn't me who stopped them from carrying out the demolition work, but there were big problems when they were carrying out the demolition work. They allowed those gangsters to carry out violent demolition. On the 13th, I took people to investigate and saw the scene with my own eyes..." Then Yuan Mu recounted the incident of pouring gasoline.

After hearing this, Song Hongkuo frowned.

"Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true. Those people are not decent people at all. If this continues, what will our government become in the eyes of the people? What credibility do we have? Just a few months after the crackdown ended, these people have revived again. That's why I stepped up the intensity of the cleanup!"

Song Hongkuo was silent, picked up a cigarette from the table, and Yuan Mu took out a lighter to help him light it.

"Would you like one too?" Song Hongkuo said, taking out another cigarette and handing it to Yuan Mu.

"Thank you, Mayor Song." Yuan Mu took the cigarette and lit it without hesitation, and smoke rose in the office.

"What you said does make some sense, but have you ever thought that doing so will cause dissatisfaction among the developers? Our country is in the stage of economic development and needs these people's investment in building cities?" After a while, Song Hongkuo looked at Yuan Mu and said.

"Mayor Song, economic development is important, but we can't be led by these developers. We can't just relax policies because they have money. To put it bluntly, they come here because they see money to be made."

"Our country is now in the early stages of economic development. It can be said that there are opportunities to make money everywhere. There are too many businessmen who want to make a fortune. If they are gone, more people will come. Businessmen are profit-driven. As long as they can make money, they will do anything."

Song Hongkuo did not answer, but smoked with a frown.

"Xiao Yuan, I want to hear your development plan for Daoli District."

Hearing this, Yuan Mu immediately laughed. He was waiting for the other party to say this. He was ready, so he picked up the briefcase next to him and took out the folded map from it.

"Mayor Song, can I hang up this map and talk to you in detail?"

Song Hongkuo's eyes lit up.

"You've been prepared for this."

"Yes, I did have some ideas about the planning of Daoli District a long time ago. I have not been idle for such a long time since I took office. In addition to conducting research, I have read a lot of information and finally put together this plan. This is my plan, but it is not the final version." Yuan Mu nodded with a smile, then took out a document from his bag and handed it to Song Hongkuo.

Song Hongkuo took the planning book, which was titled "Urban Planning Book of Daoli District, Harbin City". It was thick and probably had dozens of pages.

There were no printers in China at that time, so everything had to be written by hand. Yuan Mu wrote each stroke of the pen, but it exhausted him.

"Did you write all this?" Song Hongkuo asked in surprise as he looked at the thick plan in his hand.

"Yes, but there are still some details that have not been completed." Yuan Mu nodded with a smile.

Song Hongkuo is very satisfied with Yuan Mu now. Apart from anything else, just such a thick planning book is enough to make him look at Yuan Mu differently, proving that the other party is really considering this matter seriously.

"Okay, then I'll listen to your suggestions on urban planning first." He put the plan aside and then looked at Yuan Mu with a smile.

There was a map hanging opposite Song Hongkuo, and Yuan Mu hung the map he brought with him directly on it. Then he began to talk about his future plans for Daoli District one by one.

"Mayor Song, look, this is Zhaolin Street. It is adjacent to the Songhua River in the north, and there are several docks here. The transportation is well developed. I plan to build several large shopping malls here. It happens to be next to Shangzhi Street, and there is Central Street over there. This Central Street has great potential."

"I plan to vigorously develop Central Street and turn it into a beautiful landscape of Daoli District and even Harbin. When people mention Harbin, they will think of Central Street. I plan to develop it into a famous tourist attraction."

"If this area is carried out according to my plan, it will become an economic tourism pilot zone with a series of services such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, which will greatly promote the GDP of Daoli District."

"Maybe there won't be anything in the short term. After all, our country is still relatively poor. However, this is only temporary. Our country will become rich in a few years. By that time, this place will inevitably become the economic center of Harbin!" Yuan Mu became more and more excited as he spoke, spitting everywhere, and he painted one big pie after another, which made Song Hongkuo dizzy.

Song Hongkuo was very happy, but after a while he became worried.

"Xiao Yuan, what you said is very good, but can it be implemented? If we plan it according to what you said, it will cost a lot of money. Will anyone invest?"
