Chapter 010
As soon as the doctors and nurses finished their rounds and left, Chen Li hurriedly sent Zhou Bin back to the internet café to cover for Zhao Yang's shift. Before leaving, Zhou Bin raised his eyebrows and made a gesture, implying that Chen Li had ulterior motives for wanting him to leave. He Wan's face turned red from the commotion, and she felt it inappropriate to stay alone with Chen Li, a man and a woman. After Chen Li finished his breakfast, she quickly packed her things and left first.
The Ginkgo Community, built in the main urban area by Qian Wanli, will not face difficulties in sales delays, and the prices can be sold at a higher rate
"Secretary General Zhang, what a coincidence! I was just thinking of coming to see Brother Chen, and I didn't expect you to be here as well." Qian Wanli extended his hand towards Zhang Haoran.
Observing Zhang Haoran quietly and steadily savoring his tea, Qian Wanli truly wished he could directly say to him: "Please invite Vice Mayor Luo to come out, and let us discuss the future urban planning and development matters"
Such childish matters are certainly beneath Qian Wanli, who can only patiently accompany Zhang Haoran in savoring the aroma of tea and discussing trivial insights on the way of tea
The geographical location differences between the main urban area and the suburbs of a city can lead to significant disparities in living costs and convenience, affecting prices, housing costs, and even the minutiae of daily life
The current conditions in the commercial city have reached the critical point for urban transformation and development
Therefore, the area situated between the old town and the commercial eastern new district will become an important link. Surrounding Zhongyuan University, several universities have successively established their presence, and this region will inevitably develop into a prosperous area that is no less than the main urban area.
"Nonsense," Zhang Haoran assessed Chen Li, noticing that he appeared to be in good spirits, and could not help but reveal a hearty smile. He then continued, "How can one be admitted yesterday and discharged today? How does your arm feel? Has the doctor come to examine you?"
What are you thinking so intently?" Zhang Haoran lightly patted Chen Li's head and said with a smile
At this moment, the doctor knocked on the door and entered to conduct rounds. Unlike the aloofness often found in general wards, the doctors here in the intensive care unit displayed great patience. They sat down by the bedside, inquired with meticulous care about Chen Li's injuries, and personally attended to tasks such as changing dressings and checking for infections. While waiting for the doctor to complete their work, the petite nurse standing beside them approached to take Chen Li's temperature and measure his blood pressure, a series of actions that left Chen Li feeling quite helpless.
Zhang Haoran politely shook hands and said, "Thank you for your efforts, Mr. Qian"
Therefore, Qian Wanli's decision to select this location for the project demonstrates his keen insight, as he possesses a very accurate judgment regarding the developmental direction of commercial cities. This judgment is also based on his outlook on the future development of the domestic economy
Although Zhang Haoran felt somewhat helpless, he did not want to refute Qian Wanli's goodwill. He merely responded casually and managed to return a bitter smile to Chen Li when he had a moment to spare
However, in some cities in China, there is significant uncertainty in economic development, and this uncertainty arises from the fact that the development strategy itself is highly experimental, which inevitably leads to various unforeseen issues during its implementation
In recent years, the booming domestic real estate industry has led these developers to habitually adopt the mindset that a completed house equates to money. However, with the advancement of economic development and the enhancement of national cultural literacy, having a place to live is no longer the sole demand of consumers. It is not only necessary to have a house, but also to have a good house, which brings forth the concept of cost-effectiveness.
Chen Li arrived quite swiftly, presumably having stationed someone outside, just waiting for Zhang Haoran to make an appearance
Qian Wanli's Ginkgo Flower Garden not only demonstrated his insight into the broader situation but also exposed the generally restless mentality and outdated thinking prevalent among domestic real estate developers
Chen Lizheng was so engrossed in his thoughts that he did not notice someone had already pushed the door open and walked up to him. When he looked up, he saw it was Zhang Haoran
As lunchtime approached, Zhang Haoran estimated that Yang Minghui was already waiting for him to come and escort him. He then stood up to leave and said to Qian Wanli, "Thank you for your hard work these past two days, General Qian. When I have some free time in the future, I will invite you for tea."
Everyone got up and left the hospital room together. Chen Li still wanted to go downstairs to see them off, but Zhang Haoran insisted he return, leaving only Qian Wanli to accompany them down.
At last, Chen Li has found some peace and quiet, allowing him the time to carefully contemplate the current situation. Perhaps the path ahead truly begins at the Ginkgo Flower Garden.
Zhang Haoran looked at Chen Li with a knowing smile, and then stood up
With the relationship having made this progress, Qian Wanli felt that the effort was worthwhile. However, he decided to invite Zhang Haoran to Jinyuan International as a guest on another day to provide guidance on the art of tea.
Seeing Zhou Bin and He Wan idly passing the time, Chen Li felt helpless. Zhou Bin, this fellow, was captivated by beauty; he should have returned to the internet café to switch shifts with Zhao Yang, yet he lingered here instead. As for He Wan's thoughts, they were even easier to guess; she was simply waiting for Qian Wanli to appear again.
Recently, the authorities have transferred Luo Rongmin, who has served for many years in the coastal developed region of Dongjiang Province, to Shandong, a representative provincial capital in the central region. Upon taking office, Luo Rongmin immediately proposed to accelerate the development of the Shandong New District. This move likely reflects the concern of the leaders in the Central Plains Province, who hope for better and faster economic transformation in the cities of Shandong and the Central Plains Province.
Chen Li has studied the relationship between the trend of suburbanization and urban economy. Nowadays, suburbanization of large cities, also known as suburban urbanization, has become a new trend in the development of large cities. The direction of urban development has shifted from a centripetal concentration-based urbanization to a centrifugal diffusion-based approach.
Zhongyuan Province is a traditional agricultural province, and its economic development is not as advanced as that of coastal cities. However, after years of accumulation, there is also a certain foundation for the development of the manufacturing industry.
For instance, regarding coordination, the planning of the Shangdong New District has long been on the agenda but has been continuously postponed, which is a matter of coordination. Similarly, the lagging development of the University Town also falls under coordination issues. Although planning proposals have been issued, their execution involves various aspects, and the lack of unified action among different government departments inevitably leads to problems, which is, of course, one of the characteristics of China.
At this moment, even the internal relationships of the Impression Advertising are not settled, and characters like Liu Tongjiang have not been managed. Naturally, Chen Li does not wish for He Wan to have direct contact with Qian Wanli at this time
Chen Li awkwardly scratched his head and said, "Haoran, the hospital is too boring. Why don't you let me be discharged? Look, I'm almost better now." With He Wan as a bargaining chip, Chen Li no longer wanted to play the cat-and-mouse game with Qian Wanli in the medical staff.
Qian Wanli also chuckled a few times; he knew very well that such behavior was somewhat too hasty. Relationships require gradual cultivation, but his current situation did not allow him the luxury of time to cultivate it slowly.
The commercial empire of Jinyuan International, built over many years of hard work, is now on the verge of collapse, which undoubtedly causes Qian Wanli to be anxious and distressed
Without any assistance, Chen Lixin thought that he would have to complete this planning proposal by himself. However, considering the inconvenience of moving a computer to the hospital, and the inevitable questions from Zhang Haoran if he were to see him, he concluded that sneaking back to the internet café would be the most convenient option
To whom can one speak of the suffering contained within this?
In order to seize the opportunity to sit together with Zhang Haoran, Qian Wanli prepared everything last night, staring at the ceiling with wide eyes all night long. After enduring until dawn, he pulled the driver Xiao Wang and drove to the entrance of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhongyuan University, eagerly waiting for the appearance of the car that Zhang Haoran was in.
Discharge! It is imperative to be discharged; otherwise, everything will be delayed here. Time waits for no one. Zhang Haoran is wasting Qian Wanli's time, while Qian Wanli is wasting He Wan's time. Although it seems that I am pulling all the strings, I am also the one with the most pressing time constraints among everyone. If I miss a link, this matter will no longer concern me.
The former is referred to as centripetal urbanization, which indicates a state where the population concentrates towards the city center, marking the early stage of urban development; the latter is known as centrifugal urbanization, which refers to the state where the population spreads outward from the city center and the economic center expands outward from the city center, generally signifying the mid to late stages of urbanization.
Chen Lizheng was pondering how to respond to Zhang Haoran's words when a hearty laughter echoed from the doorway. It was Qian Wanli who had arrived with his driver, the driver carrying some nutritional supplements.
Observing the figure of Qian Wanli closely following Zhang Haoran, Chen Li smiled inwardly. What he desired was Qian Wanli's sense of urgency and Zhang Haoran's calm demeanor. Only in this way could he leave himself an opportunity to exploit. Fearing that prolonged nights might lead to more dreams, it seemed that this proposal needed to be completed promptly
Recently, Luo Rongmin has been leading the development of the new area, and now proposals are being solicited. Developers and investors from Shendu City and other regions have been invited to inspect the new area. The inspection team has not yet dispersed, and the first person beside Luo Rongmin naturally cannot leave, so he can only take some time to come and see Chen Li. However, he did not expect that Qian Wanli would be so thoughtful to this extent
After having several cups of tea, Zhang Haoran raised his hand to check the time, and it was almost noon. He had originally come over to chat casually with Chen Li, but unexpectedly, Qian Wanli interrupted. Yesterday, in order to create an opportunity for Yang Minghui to attract investors, he had left early. However, after two rounds of drinks, Yang Minghui was already feeling a bit overwhelmed. This morning, when they met at the municipal government, he specifically emphasized that Zhang should make an appearance today.
Centrifugal urban development has two distinct models. The first is the international model of suburbanization, characterized by villas and automobiles, with migration to the outer suburbs. This phenomenon has already occurred in areas such as Tongzhou, Changping, and even Huairou in Beijing, reflecting similarities with Western suburbanization. The second model is organized suburbanization, which involves both planned guidance and the influence of market forces. This type of suburbanization is universal and represents a suburbanization model with Chinese characteristics
Everything is correct, but the main issue lies in the sales philosophy of Qian Wanli and Jinyuan
Originally, I was concerned that Brother Xiao Chen would feel bored staying here, so I brought some tea to help pass the time. I didn't expect to run into Secretary Zhang, just in time to sample this year's newly released Maojian... Qian Wanli, with a beaming smile, began to discuss the art of tea with Zhang Haoran
Qian Wanli, not one to stand on ceremony, took the opportunity to pull Zhang Haoran along to sit on the sofa by the window
"Xiao Wang, hurry up and brew the tea," Qian Wanli called out. The driver quickly took out a box from the plastic bag he brought. Chen Li couldn't help but laugh out loud; the box clearly stated—portable tea set.
As the capital city of Zhongyuan Province, Shangdu is a representative of the traditional regional economic system in the country. From a purely economic perspective, it has a significant gap compared to Beijing and Shanghai, thus it is inevitable to choose the path of organized suburbanization.
Seeing Liu Tongjiang leave in anger, Chen Li merely smiled, not wishing to engage in a pointless argument, and could only say this for the time being
Moreover, this location is situated between the main urban area and the upcoming Shandu New City. From the perspective of regional economics, it may not be considered an absolute prime location, but it certainly represents a development space with immense potential
The nurse on duty at night, who might have just changed shifts, was the girl measuring Chen Li's blood pressure. Her skin was slightly darker, which diminished Zhou Bin's interest in striking up a conversation. Instead, he engaged in a casual chat with He Wan.
