Chapter 367 Floating Shadow
This happened in the residential community where Zhang Yunqi lives.

It is just a small microcosm of Jiangchuan City's current efforts to vigorously promote the rectification of street vendors' operations.

On April 4st, which was last week, in order to improve the quality of living environment for the general public and optimize the cityscape, the city issued the "Special Rectification Plan for Roadside Business, Street Markets, and Five Small Industries", which rectified illegal barbecue stalls and mobile roadside business stalls, abolished roadside business, standardized street markets and five small industries, and returned the roads to the people.

As a result, Jiangchuan launched a massive special rectification campaign.

The main contents of the special rectification are to ban vendors and stalls that occupy the road, street markets, standardize five small industries, clear out items piled up in public places, demolish illegal kiosks, sheds and other road-occupying facilities, and standardize stall groups.

The focus here is to standardize the stall groups.

The stalls on several key roads, such as Dongpo Avenue and Chunfeng Road, are all located in the old factory area of ​​Longjingyuan.

The first large-scale tourist night market in Jiangchuan City will be built here, led by Zhangji Catering. The name of the night market was given by Yang Jiarong, and it is called Jiangchuan City Yuxianli Tourist Night Market. The name comes from the Yuxian Street next door, which roughly means the night market inside Yuxian Street.

Yuxian Street is the starting point of the Jiangchuan Xiangyue Ancient Road. It is located on the bank of the mother river Chunjiang. Since the establishment of Jiang County in the Qin Dynasty, it has experienced more than 2200 years of vicissitudes. It precipitates the ancient charm of southern Hunan history and culture, confirms the ancient Xiangchu civilization, and is the place that best represents southern Hunan culture and Jiangchuan characteristics.

At present, the first phase of the infrastructure construction of Yuxianli Tourist Night Market has officially started, and investment promotion work is being promoted simultaneously. Street night market operators on nearby Dongpo Avenue, Chunfeng Road and other sections of the road will gradually move to Yuxianli Tourist Night Market and operate in the stall concentration areas that are approved to operate mainly at night.

This plan was drafted by Zhang Yunqi.

He and Yang Jiarong discussed this matter for several rounds and finally determined the general content. After he wrote it, he gave it to the city. The writers in the city changed the wording according to the leader's wishes. After the meeting, an implementation plan was issued, and a vigorous special rectification campaign was launched across the city.

These days, Zhangji Catering’s office is crowded with people.

Zhangji Catering is responsible for the construction, investment promotion and subsequent operations of the entire Yuxianli Tourist Night Market.

At present, Zhang Yunfeng, general manager of Zhangji Catering Management Co., Ltd., has signed a 20-year idle factory lease contract with Li Jilin, general manager of Liansheng.

The entire Yuxianli Tourist Night Market will cover an area of ​​6500 square meters, with an investment of 100 million yuan. It will be divided into four functional areas: specialty restaurants, creative markets and specialty goods, and leisure and entertainment, integrating eating, drinking, playing, fun and travel.

The infrastructure project mainly involves opening up the outer wall on the south side of the old factory area. The main road of the night market will be connected with Yuxian Street and Chunfeng Road. The factory buildings will be modified, the large area will be repaved with cement, the ground will be painted black, the facade advertising decoration will be unified, and new gatehouses, sheds, water supply and drainage, electricity and other supporting facilities will be built.

After the completion of the basic engineering, Yuxianli Tourist Night Market will be able to accommodate 400 night market operators and provide catering services for 7000 people at the same time. The mainstream consumer groups are college students from the nearby Xiangnan College and tourists in Yuxian Street.

From the perspective of the city, launching special rectification actions, transferring vendors from nearby streets to the night market and completing investment promotion are one of the core aspects of the entire night market construction and operation.

The benefits of this are obvious.

This was the 90s, a time of wild growth. Market-oriented reforms and the advancement of the labor market made the older generation of workers lack competitiveness. The intersection of the two currents has formed a large informal employment group. These informal employment groups include small vendors and mobile vendors, who occupy every corner of the city. Urban planning needs to include these small mobile vendors in the urban use control plan.

The construction of the city's first large-scale tourist night market can, to a certain extent, solve and clear the problem of occupying the road for business, improve urban order, and create an environmentally friendly and safe urban environment. More importantly, it can transform the mobile vendors who move from place to place into a stable and long-term employment group, attract tourists from all over the world, boost consumption, develop tourism, and revitalize the economy, which is also completely in line with Yang Jiarong's idea of ​​promoting the reform of state-owned enterprises.

However, this project also has many negative impacts.

The urban construction supervision team and related units in this era did not have much experience in dealing with mobile vendors occupying the road, and the information dissemination efficiency was low, unlike later generations where people could take videos to create public opinion. Therefore, the management of mobile vendors by relevant units in this era was relatively rough, and it was common for grassroots staff to chase a group of vendors all over the street, which had a bad impact on the image of Jiangchuan City. On the other hand, it did affect the livelihoods of some farmers who came to the city to sell vegetables.

Zhang Yunqi had seen many of these situations in later generations. When promoting this matter, he took this into consideration, so he clearly put forward two points in the work steps of the plan:

First, during the publicity and mobilization stage, the relevant responsible units should adopt various forms such as posting propaganda slogans, issuing notices, broadcasting, and mobile propaganda vehicles to strive to create a good public opinion atmosphere, widely publicize the dangers of street vendors occupying the road and the core significance of the special rectification, display the special rectification plan to the society, print and distribute contact information for feedback and reporting, listen to the voice of society, listen to the opinions of the masses, and win the support of the masses.

Second, during the stage of surprise rectification, the responsible units should conduct a thorough investigation to find out the approximate number of vendors and vegetable farmers entering the city, establish special files for specific personnel, and properly resolve the conflicts between management units and vendors with policy guidance as the main focus. When implementing relevant policies, we should not overly forcefully arrest illegal stalls and ban illegal vendor areas. We should truthfully disclose the rights of regular vendors (including registration and certification), support alternative business models, etc. For those who still occupy the road for business after the announcement, they should be given a warning and punished according to law, and those who refuse to correct should be fined according to law. It is strictly forbidden to make things difficult and treat law enforcement counterparts roughly; it is not allowed to use the convenience of office to take bribes; it is not allowed to shelter illegal behavior, perfunctorily deal with things, and shirk responsibility.

The city accepted this plan.

It not only takes into account the overall goal of creating a top-level tourist night market in southern Hunan Province, attracting tourists, relocating laid-off workers, and promoting consumption and economic development, but also ensures civilized law enforcement to the greatest extent.

However, this is the case with many things. The policy from above is one thing, and the implementation below is another.

In that era, the effect of simply persuasion in dealing with phenomena such as occupying the road for business and disturbing residents with oil smoke would not be very obvious. Moreover, due to the high mobility and large scope of the stalls, and the fact that the management involves multiple units such as industry and commerce, food and drug supervision, and the community, management is quite difficult. As a result, the grassroots staff who actually implement the work also have a difficult time and complain a lot. The tasks and pressure given by their superiors are great, and they can only push it through by force in many cases.

"We need both, and more, and more" can only appear in official documents. But Zhang Yunqi didn't want to say such nonsense as "let the people suffer first". Although the work is difficult, serving the people should be what the iron rice bowl people should do. As for today's triangular eyes and the two young city supervisors, there is no need to consider these.

Zhang Yunqi felt it necessary to make them suffer first.

They looked at Zhang Yunqi with their mouths open, unable to speak for a long time.

Many of the old men and women who were watching were neighbors of the Zhang family. They had a good relationship with Zhang's parents. They all knew that the young talents in this courtyard had great influence in the city. They all said at once: "You guys have hit a wall this time. Let's see if you dare to do things without conscience."

"Xiao Zhang is a really good guy. He knows how to help the elderly. He will be successful in the future."

"You're kidding. He's already a big shot. He's the boss of several companies and a well-known young entrepreneur in Jiangchuan. He's just kidding."

Zhang Yunqi smiled at the neighbors who were flattering him. He was not used to this. He took Zhang Ma and Chu Jian into the car and drove into the community under everyone's gaze.

The world always fears the strong and the powerful.

It exists in people's hearts, like a floating shadow on the wall. Even a short person can project a huge shadow. It is like a mirage, psychedelic eyes, and it is difficult to distinguish between black and white.

In the past, when Zhang Yunqi had a little money, he could act as he pleased and live a relaxed life. Now, the various interests around him are becoming more and more complicated and intertwined. He often encounters things like today's incident that are difficult to define with interests. If he only thinks about making money, he should turn a blind eye to today's incident, and not worry about how to give Yang Jiarong advice later and regulate the entire rectification action. No matter how big the flood is, he will forcefully promote it and set up the Yuxianli Night Market as soon as possible to make money, fame, and profit.

Many times, if you want to sleep well at night and have a clear conscience, you need a little faith.

His current belief is to figure out what he should and should not do based on the simplest values.

If you are simple, the world will be a fairy tale.
