Reborn as a Noble’s Son
Chapter 1076 - Chapter 1076 Chapter 1032 Every Family Has Its Own Home

Chapter 1076: Chapter 1032: Every Family Has Its Own Home Chapter 1076: Chapter 1032: Every Family Has Its Own Home Facing Yan Aimin’s invitation, Nie Zhenbang’s mood today seemed very good. He nodded slightly, accepting with a simple, “Good.”

Then, Nie Zhenbang turned to the others and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, let’s also take this opportunity to learn from Director Yan and gain some insights. As Hongjiang’s most famous Riverdale Group, there must be good management practices we can pick up from them. This is a rare opportunity.”

Nie Zhenbang’s words naturally won the approval of the other leaders nearby. Zhou Chuanjia also said with a smile, “Secretary Nie’s words really hit home for me. I’ve always wanted to come here to learn from Director Yan but, for various reasons, I haven’t been able to make it. Today, my wish is finally fulfilled.”

Since the provincial government’s division of labor was readjusted, Zhou Chuanjia, as a standing committee vice governor, also saw a major shift in his responsibilities.

In the government team, Zhou Chuanjia’s position was rather awkward. It used to be okay when Wen Baogui served as the governor–Zhou Chuanjia deliberately aligned himself with him, hoping to earn impressive achievements for his future promotion. But as the saying goes, ‘Man proposes, God disposes.’ Wen Baogui’s transfer put Zhou Chuanjia in a very awkward situation.

The new governor, Fang Yuanshan, got along well with He Yusheng. As a subordinate of the former governor, He Yusheng disapproved of him, which, in turn, made Fang Yuanshan also disapprove of him.

In the government team, when both the first and second in command disapprove of someone, one can imagine how dire the situation is.

This adjustment meant that the powerful departments such as the Construction Bureau and the Housing Authority, which Zhou Chuanjia used to oversee, were reassigned elsewhere. Now, Zhou Chuanjia had nowhere to turn. In this situation, he could only lean towards Nie Zhenbang, in order to safeguard his last hope.

“Vice Governor Zhou’s words resonate with me deeply, I’ve long wanted to come and learn,” Secretary-General Xu Hongzhuan also said with a smile.

Yan Aimin, on the other hand, said with a laugh, “Leaders, you’re criticizing me, it seems. It appears that our Riverdale Group has been negligent in the past. Here, in front of Secretary Nie, I apologize to all the leaders.”

The atmosphere was very relaxed and harmonious, and the group entered the elevator to visit the Riverdale Group’s office space. The office environment of the Riverdale Group was impressive indeed, with everything managed by clear systems and protocols, a rarity.

Next, the group arrived at the Riverdale Group’s conference room. There, the traveling leaders along with some high-level deputy directors of Riverdale Group and Yan Aimin sat on both sides of the conference table. Nie Zhenbang took the main seat in the center and said with a smile, “Comrades, any thoughts or feelings? Today’s meeting isn’t a regular committee meeting. Think of this as a seminar where everyone is free to express any ideas or impressions.”

As his voice faded, Liu Yaowen smiled and said, “Secretary Nie, let me throw out a brick to attract jade–let me start off with a few words.”

Speaking, Liu Yaowen looked at Yan Aimin and said, “After hearing Director Yan’s plans earlier, I think they’re excellent. Nowadays, as the economy develops continuously, the sense of responsibility in businesses is becoming increasingly diluted, which is a serious social issue. The fact that Riverdale Group thinks about giving back to society while developing is a signal that our entrepreneurs are paying attention to societal needs while growing their businesses, and the intensity of their concern is increasing.”

“Personally, I feel that Riverdale Group’s engagement with the affordable housing projects is very constructive. While conducting commercial development, it also considers the needs of the average citizens, cooperating with the government. By receiving policy favors and support yet not forgetting to give back to society and the people, this initiative is pioneering. I think it could be included in the government’s planning, forming a new system and model.”

Affordable housing was Nie Zhenbang’s main objective today. Previously, when considering the regulation of housing prices, Nie Zhenbang already had a rough plan and outline in mind. The rise in house prices is certainly driven by property developers and housing speculators, yet these factors are secondary–the primary driver is the rigid demand for housing from the people, the most direct factor pushing up prices.

Following the housing reform policy, both state organs and public institutions abolished the housing distribution system. The previous collective housing has now evolved into a market where one must purchase property. Add the growing urban youth population with its increasing housing demands, and the market expands, naturally leading to price increases–a manifestation of the market economy.

Therefore, in the matter of housing price regulation, Nie Zhenbang’s focus wasn’t on limiting prices or purchases; he considered how to meet the demand and aspirations of the broad masses for buying homes. Evidently, affordable housing was Nie Zhenbang’s trump card.

Once the construction of affordable housing increased, more products were supplied to the market. The public had more options to choose from. Those with money naturally would select better commercial housing, but those without money would also have affordable housing to opt for, eliminating the need for families to go into debt and long for a home. Families wouldn’t need to grit their teeth to pay off mortgages. With one less demand factor pushing the prices, the overall supply and demand balanced out, making it difficult for prices to rise.

Previously, Nie Zhenbang hoped that Liu Kun or Zhao Xinglong, or even Zhu Lufeng, would undertake this initiative. Compared to the whole country, they might not have the capability, but in terms of just a province, not to mention Liu Kun and Zhao Xinglong, even Zhu Lufeng had the financial strength to do so.

However, after Yan Cangsheng’s invitation and meeting with Yan Aimin, Nie Zhenbang found an even more suitable candidate.

Yan Aimin and her Riverdale Group were the best assistants for this round of housing price control policies. First, Yan Aimin’s identity as the daughter of the old leader Yan Cangsheng held a certain level of influence over various cities in Hongjiang Province. Additionally, as a local enterprise of Hongjiang, Riverdale Group had a strong appeal, something Zhu Lufeng and others could not match.

One thing led to another, and Yan Aimin also hoped to hitch a ride on Nie Zhenbang’s “aircraft carrier” as it set off on a new journey. Nie Zhenbang, in turn, wished to entrust the affordable housing project to Riverdale Group. When the two sides met, it was like a tortoise meeting a mung bean–they took a liking to each other instantly.

Following Liu Yaowen, Zhou Chuanjia, and Xu Hongzhuan also expressed their opinions one after another, all unequivocally supporting the construction of affordable housing.

On this note, Nie Zhenbang nodded slowly and, with a cough, said, “Just now, I’ve heard many comrades’ opinions. I am quite pleased. This shows that we have capable people among our leadership cadres.”

On the affordable housing issue, Comrade Zhou Chuanjia, you take personal charge and negotiate with Director Yan. Here, my goal is to start construction on three hundred thousand units of affordable housing across the province by the end of this year. Furthermore, in the next four years, we must step up the construction of affordable housing. Riverdale Group, as the backbone of this construction effort, must sign a clear agreement with the provincial government. We should give Riverdale Group some tax reductions and consider appropriate policy support for them.

Saying this, Nie Zhenbang spoke earnestly, “Looking at the historical experience and the trends in housing price increases in the first-tier coastal cities, it is urgent for Hongjiang Province to adhere to housing price control policies. These must be implemented. I hope the cooperation between the provincial party committee, the provincial government, and Riverdale Group is just a beginning. In the future, I hope that we can truly achieve ‘housing for all’.”

As Nie Zhenbang finished speaking, the meeting room erupted in deafening applause; everyone seemed rather excited and agitated.

“Housing for all” was Secretary Nie’s first clear-cut objective. For the other leaders, this was surely an opportunity, a chance to work hand in hand with Secretary Nie.

Yan Aimin was also extremely excited by “housing for all.” At this moment, it had to be said that Secretary Nie’s tactics were indeed unparalleled.

One could imagine, now that Riverdale Group had connections with Secretary Nie, just the affordable housing project alone would bring the group profits in the hundreds of millions.

Thinking this, Yan Aimin also nodded and said, “Please rest assured, Secretary Nie. Riverdale Group, from top to bottom, will dedicate itself fully, maintain strict standards, and properly carry out the affordable housing project.”

…

It was another Hongjiang News Broadcast on Red River TV, and Fang Yuanshan seemed very relaxed, sipping tea and watching the TV screen indifferently. After arriving in Hongjiang, the Hongjiang News Broadcast had become a daily must-watch for Fang Yuanshan.

Then, Nie Zhenbang’s image appeared before Fang Yuanshan. Hearing what Nie Zhenbang had said in the Riverdale Group’s conference room, Fang Yuanshan stood up right away.

Nie Zhenbang’s resolve was certainly not small, having even expressed the goal of “housing for all.” Moreover, on TV, Nie Zhenbang made no attempt to conceal his emphasis on the need to intensify the construction of affordable housing.

Clearly, this was in response to his own remarks from yesterday. Just yesterday, he had just mentioned increasing development efforts. Now, Nie Zhenbang proposed intensifying the construction of affordable housing, creating a complete system. Wasn’t this directly opposing him and forcing him to comply?

After all, as the provincial party secretary, Nie Zhenbang had made these comments publicly, which was clearly a message to him that Nie Zhenbang would not back down from adhering to housing price control policies and strategies.

This move caused Fang Yuanshan’s brows to furrow. At this point, it was impossible to simply let things slide. What came next would be a game of strategy between the two sides. (To be continued.
