After listening to Ji Yang’s account, everyone already had an understanding of the development situation in Chunshui Xincheng.
At this point, Deputy County Magistrate Li Guobing hesitated a bit before saying, "If that group invests in building a factory in the city, that should be acceptable too, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s face showed a look of interest—it was indeed such a scenario. If they could talk to that boss, could they really build the factory in the city where the municipal government was located?
"Don’t mention it, it truly is the case. Building a factory in the city where the municipal government is would be better for the overall development of Quyang City, wouldn’t it? The transportation and everything would be more convenient," Ning Xiaoyan also chimed in.
At this moment, everyone turned their gaze to Yang Bo.
Yang Bo felt like cursing at this point. It was obvious that the boss had considered investing in Chunshui County only because of Ji Yang. If Ji Yang weren’t in charge in Chunshui County, who would come here?
Still, Yang Bo spoke up, "That boss came because of Mr. Ji Yang’s connection."
Li Guobing said, "Since this matter concerns Mr. Ji Yang’s connection, Mr. Ji Yang could also help persuade the boss to invest in the municipality. You should know that this would be more beneficial for the development of the entire Quyang City. Mr. Ji Yang should consider the bigger picture. Chunshui County cannot meet all the conditions anyway, so it would be best to come here to invest."
Ji Yang just glanced at Li Guobing and suddenly realized the leaders of the municipal committee weren’t exactly the sharpest tools in the shed.
Ji Yang said nothing and simply sat there.
Everyone then turned their attention to Ji Yang.
Seeing the situation, Yang Bo knew Ji Yang wasn’t taking Li Guobing’s words seriously at all. The source of thɪs content is n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Zhang Aimin was actually swayed as well, but on seeing this situation, he understood clearly that Ji Yang’s intention in mobilizing that boss to invest was for the development of Chunshui County. He wouldn’t help the city with such a matter.
At this time, out of nowhere, Gao Minghui said, "Comrade Li Guobing’s suggestion isn’t bad either. If we really could persuade the bosses to invest in the municipality’s development zone, our zone would no longer be just an ordinary one. Everyone knows, ever since that development zone was established, it has never really taken off. Whenever I attend meetings above, sitting there makes me uneasy."
"This is indeed a problem. I have also heard criticisms about our development zone construction several times after going to the province. If tens of billions in investments came through, it would certainly be cause for celebration, wouldn’t it? That is better than developing in Chunshui County."
Ning Xiaoyan was the one talking again.
By now, Ji Yang could see that these people all had their own personal agendas. If those investments really came through, who knew what they would turn them into.
Then Ning Xiaoyan said, "If those investors are coming because of Mr. Ji Yang, that should be easy to handle. Just appoint Mr. Ji Yang as the person in charge of the development zone, right? This way, all kinds of problems could be resolved."
Be the person in charge of the development zone?
Ji Yang had truly not anticipated that they would have such an idea.
Regarding this matter, Ji Yang saw it clearly. If he stayed in Chunshui County, he would be the Secretary of the County Committee, and the major credit would be his; but in the development zone, it would be different. Each leader would have a share of the credit, and he might end up not knowing what would become of his situation, even losing all the credit to them.
Of course, even if it were placed in Chunshui County, they could still pick the fruits of his labor, but there, he could quickly appear in front of the heavyweights in Capital City. Even if others came to pick the fruits later, the tangible benefits would be secured, and everyone could make money.
Anyhow, no matter what, pursuing the construction of Xincheng was the best option.
