Chapter 2142 On Automobiles and Congestion

The smog in Huaguo cannot be formed in a short time.

In fact, since the great development in the 1950s and 1960s, in many industrialized cities, there has been a lot of smog.

But at that time the overall scope was not much, so it seemed that the situation was not serious.

Over the years, as Huaguo's industry has become more and more developed, the protection of the environment has not kept up. Naturally, smog and PM2.5 have formed a big problem, and then concentrated outbreaks in the next few years.

Of course, there is another important factor.

That is, after the global financial crisis in 2008, Huaguo launched an infrastructure project to stimulate the economy. The central and local governments shared tens of trillions of funds, resulting in the output value of industries, especially heavy industries. Another substantial increase, which again aggravated the cause of industrial pollution.

Xiao Qi knew that such an unlimited increase in production capacity, but did not grasp the most essential technology upgrades and improve his competitiveness, it is not correct.

Therefore, Xiao Qi instilled this concept in Lao Di and Uncle Niu early on, and asked them to run and appeal. They must not blindly expand, but should further reduce production capacity and throw away all outdated production capacity.

Otherwise, after Europe and the United States recover their vitality, these factories will not only fail to form a strong competitiveness, but will be directly squeezed out of bankruptcy by others because they have no technological advantages, and in the end it will be a waste of money without bringing much benefit. It's a little bit of a loss.

Both Niu Ruzheng and Xiao Xu agree with this point of view, especially Niu Ruzheng, who has mentioned this issue many times in the court meeting, and it is precisely because of his efforts that the multi-trillion revitalization plan in the previous life is still in effect now. Not baked.

However, Niu Ruzheng's strength alone is definitely not enough, so Xiao Qi needs to find someone to help him, and this person is Yu Chengsheng.

Yu Chengsheng didn't need to talk about reducing backward production capacity, he just started with PM2.5 to explain the harm of fine particles to the human body. Then Yanzhao and Jinwei's iron and steel factories would have to suffer—the boss and his family all live in the capital, so who dares to say that what Yu Chengsheng said was wrong. Surely there will be outrage.

And you can't say that only your capital is the most important, and the rest of the cities don't care about smog, right?

Therefore, iron and steel factories, mines, rocky mountains, construction sites, etc. will be strictly checked and closed.

Once heavily polluting industries such as steel and mining are stopped, on the one hand, the environmental quality will continue to improve, and outdated production capacity can be cut down. On the other hand, we support Niu Ruzheng's proposal.

Speaking of which, this is killing two birds with one stone.

Yu Chengsheng can reach this step. Of course, Xiao Qi's strategy of killing two birds with one stone has already been figured out.

But he didn't care at all, because he felt that what Xiao Qi said was right and he should do this, so he didn't care at all whether he was "used" by Xiao Qi.

What's more, reducing backward production capacity and increasing the country's real core competitiveness is what Yu Chengsheng agrees with very much.

When a country is just beginning to develop industry, some necessary sacrifices are unavoidable.

But Huaguo's industrialization process has reached the current point, so it should be possible to carry out the second step of upgrading. Gradually forge ahead to a higher position in the industrial chain and gradually occupy a higher position.

When his thoughts passed, Yu Chengsheng asked another question. "Just now I heard you talk about cars, but don't you know that? When the world economic crisis has spread to Huaguo, the auto industry has become one of the most important strategies in Huaguo's next five-year plan? Especially after Commissioner Niu resolutely opposed plans to develop heavy industries such as real estate, steel, and ships."

"I think this should not affect it." Xiao Qi explained: "As I said just now, the pollution emission of automobile exhaust cannot be used as a major influencing factor of smog and PM2.5 in a city. This point is from London It can be seen from the car ownership in cities such as China, New York, Tokyo, etc.

First, the gasoline and diesel used in automobiles have been refined, and the treatment of automobile exhaust emissions has also been discussed and studied for a long time. reached a relatively low level. At least Uncle Yu, you have never watched it again, like before the 90s. Does the exhaust pipe emit black smoke as soon as the car is started?

Secondly, automobiles have become a means of transportation that people rely heavily on. If we want to stop it, it will undoubtedly directly go against the trend of history. In this way, it will have a very serious impact on the economic development of the entire country and the overall living standards of the people. consequences, and therefore cannot be prevented. "

"But 10% is still 10%. If there are more cars, maybe it will rise to 15% or even 20%?" Yu Chengsheng said.

"You are right, so there are contradictions here, and it depends on how to resolve them." Xiao Qi expressed his opinion, "I think this matter should be divided into two parts. Plan. Separately designated cities, coastal developed cities, etc., are densely populated and the urban space is very congested. There should be some restrictions on cars in these places. For example, small cities in the third and fourth tiers have a small population and a large area. There is no need for any further restrictions."

"For example, what restrictions?"

"It's very simple." Xiao Qi said: "Let's not talk about limiting the number of people. Facts have proved that the number of people is not very useful. I'm sure it will be less useful in easing traffic in the future. We don't need to say anything about oil price restrictions. Then There is no need, anyway, so much oil has been bought here, and a large amount of low-priced oil will be put into storage in the past two years, so it is also a good thing for the common people to get some benefits. But in terms of fees, tiered fees should be implemented.”

Yu Chengsheng pointed at Xiao Qi, "Tell me more carefully, finish it once!"

Xiao Qi chuckled and said, "Uncle Yu, have you heard of Singapore's urban vehicle charging system?"

"No."

"Singapore's cars are very expensive, not only because of the high price, but also because of the expensive license plate. The license plate is expensive, and each license plate you buy can only be used for 10 years. After 10 years, you have to pay the license plate back. , Go and spend huge sums of money to buy a license plate again.”

"Oh, this is different from Dongfang's." Yu Chengsheng nodded, "Dongfang has more than 30,000 license plates, and you can always have it after you buy it. Rich people don't care."

"Yeah, so this is just one of the solutions for Singapore, not suitable for Huaguo. The main reason is that there are too many people in Huaguo. The number of rich people suddenly increased." Xiao Qi continued, "Actually, Singapore There is no shortage of rich people. So this has little impact on them. The real impact is that they directly charge according to the area during the peak hours of morning and evening vehicles.

Let’s take the capital as an example. For example, if you want to enter the East Fourth Ring Road from the East Fifth Ring Road during the rush hour at 9 am, then the electronic equipment installed on the East Fourth Ring Road will draw 5 yuan from the induction magnetic card in your car. . If you want to enter the East Third Ring Road from the East Fourth Ring Road. Then draw another 10 yuan. Similarly, when you go out of the city, there will be such charges. The more crowded places you go, the more money you will give. Maybe you will pay thirty or fifty yuan for this trip!

This is every day. If it is like this every day, if you do the math, it will be one or two thousand a month. Even two or three thousand have to be spent! Even rich people have to worry about it, let alone those who buy cars, 90% of them buy cars below 300,000 yuan. Can they feel bad about the money? Can we reduce our trips to these crowded city centers? In this way, wouldn't the possibility of congestion be greatly reduced? "

Yu Chengsheng nodded repeatedly. "This is a good idea, but can the electronic technology accurately detect and deduct money? Will there be any defects in the technology?"

"Of course not. This ETC system has been used in Singapore and the United Kingdom for many years. It is because of this that so many vehicles in their two cities are not blocked directly." Xiao Qi said: " Of course, how to deduct the money and how much is appropriate. Whether to recharge first or pay later, etc., depends on the relevant departments to study. Before that, it is necessary to go to the UK and Singapore to investigate. It is necessary to learn from it. Yes. As long as you see how other people succeed and how they put in all kinds of efforts for success, you can use it better after learning the whole set.”

"Okay, I'll write it down." Yu Chengsheng wrote a summary, "You continue."

"Then the second point is to substantially increase the charges for street parking and parking lots in the city center." Xiao Qi said, "Anyone who dares to park in the city center between 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. As long as the parking fee reaches more than 100 yuan a day, then I think those who park on the road everywhere and cause big congestion at the gates of bustling commercial plazas, hospitals, and schools will naturally reduce a lot.

At present, what I can think of is basically these two points, and they can be vigorously promoted in the prosperous cities of our country. As for other effective restriction methods, it depends on our brainstorming. I think the experts gathered together can definitely think more than me alone. "

"Hehe, I see you are like this, you just don't want people to buy a car!" Yu Chengsheng shook his head again and again, "If I were an ordinary person in a big city, I would have to think more about whether I should buy a car... buy a car The cost is more expensive than taking a taxi every day! If you buy a car like that, the utilization rate is basically not high, which is really a waste.”

"This is something that can't be helped. I don't want to congest the air, and I don't want to pollute the air. I can only limit it a bit more." Xiao Qi said, "But I am not simply reducing the time people use cars. For example, the regional electronic toll collection system , As long as you miss the morning and evening rush hours, you can still enter the central city. And if you go out to the countryside, go on a self-driving tour, isn’t it good? The car can also be used.

Besides, although there are many cars for sale in big cities, there are also many in small cities. This has no big impact on car sales! With the improvement of our economic and living standards in recent years, there must be more and more people buying cars. At least big cities will not be frightened by such charges. Therefore, we have become the largest production and sales country, that is, in three to five years. thing. "

Such left and right restrictions are naturally very inconvenient, but it is not without supplementary solutions.

The boy actually hid a little bit and didn't say anything.

That is to directly open the taxi system, for example, you can drop people at various platforms, etc., so that you can further reduce the number of times people use cars, reduce the pressure on public transportation, and it is definitely more effective than you open a few more bus lines many.

But this will touch too many people's cakes, Xiao Qi is not willing to poke a hornet's nest.

After all, the first few items not only have the many benefits that Xiao Qi said, but more importantly, they can increase a city's fiscal revenue.

Don't underestimate this point, if it is implemented according to what Xiao Qi said, for example, the city's financial increase of more than 20 billion a year will not be a problem!

For the local finances that no longer rely on land finance to get rich, this income is really not small, enough to make them excited, and thus greatly promote these projects.

"If it's just a big city, it should be good." After thinking, Yu Chengsheng nodded slowly, "I have written down your plan, and I will ask them to study it in a few days... Xiao Qi Ah, you are right. Whether it is smog control or car restrictions, this is a big problem!"

"Isn't it too much work? With Uncle Yu, you will definitely get it done!" Xiao Qi flattered, "But one thing to be careful about is that the local government can't use these fees for other purposes, but should Put it in road traffic, environmental improvement, etc. Only by earmarking the funds for special use can the common people not complain so much about the payment.”

"Oh, your reminder is very necessary." Yu Chengsheng wrote in his notebook again, "However, the local finance is not rich, and I am afraid that this money cannot be 100% earmarked, but it can be used to the maximum extent. , so that they can take from the people and use them for the people, but it is also very necessary.”

Xiao Qi didn't comment on this, because he was not in charge of it.

When facing Niu Ruzheng and Yu Chengsheng, no matter what it is, he only has the right to make suggestions. If he thinks that he can decide something, he will think too highly of himself and easily cause trouble.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xiao Qi said, "Uncle Yu, just now Secretary Li said that you are going to treat me to dinner at noon, so where shall we go? How about going to Fishing Taiwan?"

"Go, go, I have something to do later, and I have to talk to people about things when I go to the cafeteria. If you have nothing to do, go first... By the way, come to my house tonight if you are free, and I will ask your aunt to cook something delicious. Yes, let's talk about this again!" Yu Chengsheng smiled and waved.

"Okay, I'll be there tonight!"

Xiao Qi breathed a sigh of relief and walked out.

Finally, the plan was thrown out.

Uncle Yu, I really have to work hard for you! (to be continued ~^~)
