Yang Bo was getting anxious at this point and said loudly, "Since people are willing to invest, why aren’t we making an effort to keep them here?"
"They’re dissatisfied with the roads here, and you know the situation with our county’s roads," President Xiao said. "The distance to the city isn’t long, but the road from the city to our county takes nearly four hours of travel on terrible roads. If it wasn’t for me being their acquaintance, they would have left already."
"They could invest in other counties that have convenient transportation," Yang Bo argued.
Ji Yang remained silent and just looked at Yang Bo.
Seeing Ji Yang’s expression made Yang Bo feel awkward. He now realized that those investors were willing to come only because of Ji Yang; without him, who would want to come?
At this moment, Yang Bo also recognized Ji Yang’s importance. Without Ji Yang, it would probably be impossible to even invite these investors.
After a while, Yang Bo spoke again, "Such a large investment must be retained at all costs. This matter should be treated as a top priority for our city."
"Currently, there are many issues with the construction in Xincheng, with the main issue being the roads."
"What else is there?"
"The content of our proposal is another matter," President Xiao said. "If we manage to secure this investment, we intend to transform our county according to their vision into a tech city, powered entirely by urban photovoltaic electricity generation. In addition, by incorporating various industries, the output created would be substantial. To be honest, the batteries they’re currently producing are already making profits of over a hundred million annually, and that’s just from a newly launched factory and a sales network hampered by poor road connectivity. If handled well, profits in the tens of billions are attainable. Plus, the corresponding factories would provide a large number of jobs, allowing our county to thrive. Unfortunately, from what I understand, they think our county doesn’t value this enough, so they’re hesitating."
Yang Bo replied, "If they’re willing to invest, the city will support them fully, and we’ll ensure they receive all the preferential policies available, including some that can only be obtained at the provincial level. We’ll do our utmost to secure these for them."
Ji Yang added, "Apart from them, there are also businessmen ready to invest roughly ten billion in real estate development, which would leverage significant growth."
Yang Bo’s gaze rested on Ji Yang’s face, realizing this Ji Yang truly was an energetic person; in such a short time, he had made such a big splash.
"Give me the whole proposal. I’ll look it over. You go rest, and I’ll give you an answer tomorrow."
Acknowledging that these leaders needed time to analyze, Ji Yang nodded and said, "Okay."
Ji Yang left Yang Bo’s office feeling very reassured; Yang Bo’s attitude showed that the multibillion-dollar investment excited them, and Ji Yang believed they would change their stance.
After all, the entire province needed substantial development, and this large investment wouldn’t just be seen as minor capital. With this investment secured, road issues likely wouldn’t be a concern anymore. The rightful source is novel⚑fire.net
Sure enough, after Ji Yang left, Yang Bo began to seriously study the proposal Ji Yang had brought and some discussions with Xiao Li.
The more he studied it, the more excited Yang Bo became. If the new city genuinely materialized, it would significantly uplift their entire city, driving the development of many industries—a truly great fortune.
After some thought, Yang Bo felt this project was a great achievement and needed to report it to his higher-ups.
Picking up the phone, Yang Bo called the provincial Party secretary.
The moment Yang Bo’s call was received, the secretary was momentarily stunned. He was naturally aware of Ji Yang but hadn’t wanted to meddle in Ji Yang’s affairs too much.
Now, he was somewhat caught off guard by the sheer impact of Ji Yang’s actions, struggling to grasp the situation completely.
