Chapter 2622
Their conversation was all in Japanese, and Vice Mayor Pan and Xiao Mingguai didn't understand it. They saw that the guests were very happy, so they were also very happy. They kept persuading them to drink. Finally, Taro Ono was completely drunk.
Taro Ono started singing a song. Vice Mayor Pan and the others didn't understand what song Taro Ono was singing. They only felt that this song was powerful and the melody was quite catchy. They all applauded for Taro Ono and beat the rhythm.
Interpreter Wu heard this song and quickly said: "Sorry, Mr. Ono is drunk, I will help him down first."
Interpreter Wu helped Taro Ono and walked out of the restaurant door. The other Japanese also followed behind. They were also drunk, walking staggeringly, with their arms around each other's shoulders, and also singing the song Taro Ono sang loudly.
Vice Mayor Pan and the others all beat the rhythm and hummed along with the tune. They didn't know that the song Taro Ono sang was the military song of his father when he participated in the war of aggression against China. He could often hear his father sing this song at home, so this song was also the song he liked to sing the most.
In the following days, Su Xinghui still went to state-owned enterprises in Hujiang City for investigation every day. Life was still relatively calm, and there was nothing special.
One day, Xu Xiaoguang came to the municipal government guesthouse again. This time he brought a laptop, handed it directly to Su Xinghui and said: "Xinghui, these are some materials you want, all in this laptop."
Su Xinghui took the laptop, plugged in the power, turned on the switch, waited for the laptop to start, and said with a smile: "Xiao Guang, you are quite fast, thank you!"
Xu Xiaoguang said: "The things you want, and it's a task given to you by a big leader, dare I not be fast? You check if the materials are complete first. If they are not complete, I will go find them for you."
Su Xinghui nodded.
The computer started. Under Xu Xiaoguang's guidance, Su Xinghui found the document, opened it, and read it.
The situation investigated by Xu Xiaoguang was quite comprehensive. He was originally in the real estate business and knew the situation in this line very well. Moreover, he had rich connections in this line, so it was quite convenient to investigate any situation.
Judging from the materials in this document, the real estate market in Hujiang City had big problems. Behind several large real estate companies in Hujiang City, there were big backgrounds, and many were leaders with high ranks.
Hujiang City is a big city, and with the floating population, it has reached nearly 15 million. In the past, the per capita housing area in Hujiang City was very small. Now many people have rigid demand for improving housing, so this is a very big market.
Such a big market, a piece of cake, who wouldn't be jealous? Therefore, many big leaders have fostered real estate companies to make profits.
With such a big rigid demand, it is too easy to drive up housing prices. Just a little trick will do. Not to mention anything else, as long as housing prices can rise by twenty percent every year, the annual profit of these real estate companies is calculated in hundreds of millions or billions.
However, Premier Nan has always been suppressing the real estate industry, not allowing them to raise prices indiscriminately, which made these big bosses in the Hujiang real estate industry anxious, but they had no way.
Premier Nan also worked in Hujiang City, and most of the leaders in Hujiang City were his old subordinates. Premier Nan's prestige in Hujiang City was still quite high, so the leaders in Hujiang City had always done a good job in the regulation of housing prices, which also made Premier Nan very satisfied.
However, this year, the greedy hearts of these people, which had been suppressed for many years, finally couldn't be suppressed. With such a large transaction volume in the Hujiang real estate market every year, without needing much per square meter, just rising two or three hundred yuan more, this is billions of benefits. Who wouldn't be jealous? Who wouldn't be itching?
They started doing small tricks. In fact, how could the leaders behind them not know about these small tricks they did? But they pretended not to see it, because they were also jealous of the benefits inside.
They also wanted to use this small trick to test Premier Nan's bottom line. In case Premier Nan investigated, it would not be too late for them to control housing prices. By that time, they didn't know how much money they had earned.
Therefore, these real estate companies used various means to speculate on housing prices in Hujiang City. They didn't raise too much at a time, but housing prices had been rising in the shadows. Unknowingly, they had risen by more than twenty percent in a few months.
Xu Xiaoguang investigated very carefully. The means these real estate companies used to speculate were clearly written in this document, and which real estate companies participated in the speculation and what backgrounds they had were also clearly written.
After reading this document, Su Xinghui nodded and said: "Xiao Guang, thank you, these materials are very detailed and very useful to me. I will write the investigation report based on these materials."
Xu Xiaoguang said: "Don't be polite with me, who is who? As long as these materials are useful to you."
Su Xinghui said: "Of course it's useful, these materials are too useful to me. The higher-ups will definitely be very satisfied with this report."
Xu Xiaoguang said: "Xinghui, although it is wrong for these people to speculate, I think it is difficult for the real estate market in Hujiang City to rely solely on policy regulation, because the rigid demand in Hujiang City is here, and the economy of Hujiang City is also here. Housing prices will rise sooner or later."
Su Xinghui said: "Xiao Guang, you are good, you hit the point. Then tell me, how can we control housing prices?"
Xu Xiaoguang said: "To control housing prices, we must first control land prices. This land price has also been rising. The land our company took last time was twenty percent higher than our scheduled price. If it continues to rise like this, I feel that our company's housing prices cannot be controlled."
Su Xinghui said: "You are right, to control housing prices, we must first control land prices."
Xu Xiaoguang smiled bitterly: "Easy to say, but how can land prices be so easy to control?"
Su Xinghui also smiled bitterly. Yes, how can land prices be so easy to control?
The rise in land prices began with the tax-sharing system. Local fiscal revenue decreased significantly, and the state could only allocate the local land sale revenue to local governments.
For many local governments, land sale revenue is a very important part of their income. Some places can even account for nearly half of the total fiscal revenue. Can local governments give up such easily obtained fiscal revenue?
Precisely because land finance is one of the main fiscal revenues of local governments, local governments naturally want to find ways to increase this income, but they cannot sell land without restraint. There is so much land, what to do after selling it?
Therefore, they want to control the supply of land and let the price of land rise. But how can land prices rise? Of course, it is to let housing prices rise. If housing prices are speculated up, land prices will naturally be speculated up, and if land prices rise, housing prices will naturally rise.
These are complementary, and the relationship is complex. But the rise in land prices is one of the main reasons for the rise in housing prices, which is certain.
This involves many complex and huge interests. With Su Xinghui's current ability, he is temporarily unable to reverse such a situation, so they can only smile bitterly.
Su Xinghui said: "Forget it, don't talk about this, Xiao Guang, to thank you, I'll treat you to a drink!"
Xu Xiaoguang nodded and said: "Okay, let's go for a drink!"
