Ji Yang entered Yang Bo’s office and noticed a middle-aged man sitting there, exuding a strong presence.
Yang Bo did not display any warmth and simply said to Ji Yang, "Sit down and talk."
Ji Yang knew these people were acting on instructions from someone behind the scenes and was not bothered by it.
After sitting down, Yang Bo asked, "What brings you here?"
"Secretary Yang, I am here to present a new proposal for Xincheng."
Since the details from Chunshui County hadn’t been disclosed yet, Yang Bo was also eager to find out the extent of its development and said, "Go ahead."
Yang Bo seemed quite casual. He thought, even if Ji Yang was highly capable, he likely did not have much progress to report. The most probable scenario would be Ji complaining and asking for some money from the city government.
Yang Bo was even considering how to reject any substantial investment propositions.
"Secretary Yang, we have also reported our county’s situation to the city. The old city district is too small; its development space is very limited. It would suffice for a town, but placing a county city there is impossible. That’s one of the reasons we plan to build Xincheng."
"Alright, I’ve read about this in your proposal and I am aware of it. The city’s stance is clear; you are on your own for development—there is no money from the city."
"Secretary Yang, we are aware of that and are not here to ask for money. My purpose for coming today is to update you on the latest situation."
Yang Bo looked at Ji Yang somewhat perplexedly.
He had heard many rumors about this young man, supposedly rising through ranks by leveraging women. Yang Bo, who had worked his way up step by step, held a certain disdain for such officials.
Of course, at this stage of his career, Yang Bo remained composed and simply continued observing Ji Yang quietly. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ N0veI.Fiɾe.net
Ji Yang said, "Through our efforts, a conglomerate is planning to invest two billion yuan to comprehensively develop the Photovoltaic Industry Cluster Industrial Park in Xincheng."
"What? What did you say?"
Yang Bo’s eyes widened in shock. Having arrived in Quyang City, he knew its situation all too well. The overall development was poor, previously left in chaos by prior leaders, achieving significant investment or even projects worth a few billion had been impossible. Now, Ji Yang was saying that there was an investment of two billion yuan incoming, truly astonishing him.
"The company is a battery factory I was associated with before. They have developed a large amount of advanced technology, and their battery sales are very strong. To further expand their scale, they have been looking for investment opportunities. Learning about my involvement in Xincheng, they thought of employing photovoltaic technology there, transforming Xincheng into a model county using photovoltaic technology. In the total investment, they plan to build several supporting factories. If fully realized, the annual sales can potentially reach up to hundreds of billions, possibly even a trillion yuan."
"Really?" Yang Bo could barely sit still now; this was a major project. If executed well, it could transform into something big; a potential windfall for his career. He was just thinking about his political achievements, and it was materializing right before him.
"Have they confirmed their investment?"
Seeing Yang Bo’s reaction, Ji Yang, sensing an opportunity, said, "They’ve come for an inspection and shown interest, but our conditions are still somewhat lacking. They are primarily attracted to our construction in Xincheng and hearing that we plan to build a road connecting to Tiangui Province, they are still hesitant."
