On a winter night in 1978, in a thatched house in Xiaogang Village, Fengyang County, Anhui Province, 18 farmers solemnly pressed their red fingerprints on an agreement to allocate fields to households, kicking off China's rural reform. Recently, 44 residents of Qingganglin Community, Tongji Town, Pengzhou, Sichuan, each signed their names and put their red fingerprints on a rental agreement. The content of the agreement is that the shops on Dongjun Middle Street will be voluntarily leased to the community for operation, and the latter will unifiedly create a style food street and lead everyone to revitalize their assets and become rich together. At present, two restaurants have reached an agreement to settle in the hotel.
Dongjun Middle Street, Tongji locals are accustomed to refer to it as "Old Street". It used to be one of Tongji's trade and distribution centers. It was rebuilt on the original site after the "5.12 Earthquake" in 2008. It is not that old after being said to be "old". Before the earthquake, "old streets" such as Dongjun Zhong Street were bustling with traffic. It is not an exaggeration to describe and as being shoulder to shoulder. However, after the earthquake, the bustle of the past has never been seen, and "deserted people" have become the norm. The residents are very anxious because they cannot rent out some shops. They call this "begging for food while holding a golden rice bowl".
How to awaken the popularity and business spirit of "Old Street"? This "problem" has been solved locally for more than 10 years and many methods have been tried. This year, after thorough research, the Qingganglin community came up with a new idea for solving the problem - to create a style food street unified by the community, and chose Dongjun Zhongjie as a prototype.
The food street carrier is visible to the naked eye, and the shape of the street is very complete. But the shops are in the hands of every household. If everyone is not unified, the food street will only be "a flower in the water, a moon in the mirror". In the past, residents' individual rental methods have been tried and failed. Therefore, this time we changed the "live method" - the community will pack up all the shops, and then invite foreign investment in a unified way, and the first three years will be rent-free. Although
is very optimistic about the future, the current "ideological barrier" is not easy to pass. "Most residents can't figure it out. Three years of rent-free means no income from their own shops in these three years. But if someone takes a fancy to it and wants to rent it during these three years, wouldn't I lose money?" Zhong Zhaomao, secretary of the Qingganglin Community Party Committee, said that there were not a few residents who had this idea at first.
In order to facilitate everyone's ideological work, Qingganglin Community gave full play to its leading role in party building and held more than ten dam meetings. "We explained everything from the road reconstruction at the entrance of Dongjun Middle Street, the improvement of archway functions to the demonstration community, the creation of Jinpeng Excellence Project, etc., so that everyone can fully understand the planning direction and favorable factors of the block." Zhong Zhaomao said: "The last time was on March 2 After that meeting, 32 households signed a three-year rent-free agreement with the community. The next day, 12 more households completed the contract. "So far, a total of 66 shops from 44 households in Dongjun Middle Street have been packaged for community operation.
Zhong Zhaomao revealed: Residents themselves have tried many methods in the past, but they have always been deserted. The purpose of package leasing is to create economies of scale and create distinctive neighborhoods. This time we all gathered together to keep each other warm and look forward to a turnaround. "It is reported that in the agreement, 44 residents have been given rent-free treatment to the community, and the community has also given rent-free treatment to merchants. At present, two catering companies have chosen two shops and have initially reached an intention to settle in. They will be the first batch of merchants in the "Food Street".
44 years ago, Xiaogang Villagehtml The 18 farmers in 3 pressed red thumbprints to "distribute the village collective land to each household" in order to fill their stomachs. Now, 44 households in Qingganglin Community, Tongji Town, "have done the opposite" and handed over their shops to the community for "packaging and leasing" in order to get rich together. "This is a bold attempt by everyone to unite their minds. If successful, we also plan to copy the experience to the surrounding Yucun Street, Liuli Street, and Xianxi Street... to revitalize idle shops and activate the popularity of the old street, so that everyone can bulge their wallets and run towards a happy and beautiful life together. ”
