Chapter 227: Obstructing from the Middle

s about her. 。She said, "Okay" 。But don't worry, I can't make it today. 。"Xiao Zheng was taken aback: "Why"Li Haiyan said: "I just received a notice from the County Party Committee Organization Depar...At six o'clock in the evening, at Zui Longfeng Hotel 。County Magistrate Fang Ye and County Committee Organization Minister Xiang Hezhong, hosted a welcome banquet for An Ruyi, the daughter of Hainan "Anhai" Grand Hotel's owner. 。An Ruyi did not reveal the true identity of female bodyguard Judy, simply introducing her as her partner and friend in the United States. 。Besides Fang Yeqiong and Xiang Hezhong, there were also the director and deputy directors of the Tourism Bureau present. One of the deputy directors, Yang Ying, was in her thirties and considered a top beauty among the county-level departments. Whenever the county magistrate had social engagements, he frequently brought Yang Ying along as a showpiece. 。

But today, compared to An Ruyi and Judy, Yang Ying seems like a country bumpkin. 。There is no harm without comparison, this saying is so realistic. 。Today, all the male leaders accompanying me have bright eyes and are starting to persuade me to drink. 。Kai An Ruyi and Judy had made up their minds from the beginning that they would absolutely not drink at the welcome banquet hosted by the An County government. 。They also knew very well what kind of men these male leaders in county government offices were. 。Most of them just want to take advantage of them, get something out of it. If they could, and if they didn't have to take responsibility, they wouldn't mind doing even more outrageous things. 。If you take the first sip, there will be a second, and then all those accompanying you will definitely take turns, they won't stop until they drink you to your limit. 。Therefore, An Ruyi and Judy were resolute from the beginning. 。Several department leaders went up, but were all turned away. Everyone felt disappointed. 。The county magistrate, seeing that the atmosphere wasn't lively, spoke up: “Mr. An, Mr. Zhu, you've made a rare trip to An County for inspection, and we should at least show you our hospitality.” 。"Well, our local leaders are here to offer us a toast, but you won't even take a sip! That doesn't seem very polite, does it"

An Ruyi said: "The fact that the County Magistrate of Fang County himself is able to join us for this meal already shows his utmost hospitality. Both Zhu Di and I are very grateful." 。We don't drink alcohol for two reasons: first, we're truly not good at drinking. We get drunk after just a little bit, so we won't embarrass ourselves in front of the county magistrate. 。In fact, An Ru Yi's alcohol tolerance is very good. Two bottles of red wine are not a problem at all. She just never drinks casually. 。

An Ruyi continued, "Second, before I came to An County, my father told me that there is a very righteous uncle in An County. If someone asks you to drink, you can ask this uncle for help, and he will definitely drink for you. This is Uncle Xiang Hezhong." 。"Fang County's magistrate looked towards Xiang Hezhong, "Magistrate Xiang, so that's how it is!" Xiang Hezhong was stunned, he had never said such a thing. 。But An Ruyi flattered him in her words, calling him a "very righteous uncle." If she didn't drink for him, it would be unrighteous. Xiang Hezhong had no choice but to say: “County Magistrate Fang, it seems that our General An and General Zhu are truly unable to drink, so we won't make things difficult for them.” 。If anyone wants to toast them, I'll help drink. 。As soon as Xiang He finished speaking, An Ruyi said, "Thank you so much, Uncle Xiang." 。"Item Hezhong is the Minister of Organization, who would replace him for drinking Therefore, the wine on this table ultimately didn't get drunk, and the whole dinner ended up being eaten in a sullen mood." 。As dinner was almost over, County Magistrate Fang also asked, "Mr. An, Mr. Zhu, after returning from Hainan, what kind of project are you most interested in investing in" An Ruyi replied, "Our company is still best at hotel investment" 。We want to invest in the most beautiful and quiet mountain village in An County with the best environment. 。My father's intention is Tianhuang Town. 。On the one hand, his hometown is Tianhuang Town. On the other hand, my father saw in *The Jiangzhong Daily* that the "Rich and Beautiful Village Construction" project in Tianhuang Town is currently going well. The village is full of green mountains and clear water, birdsong, and flowers. We really want to go see it. 。It seems that the influence of Jiangzhong Daily is still quite large. 。Fang Ye and Xiang He exchanged glances in the river. They saw the thing they most didn't want to see come true. 。An Ruyi wants to invest anywhere, but just can't go to Tianhuang Town!

Fang also agreed: "Mr. An, your father is from Tianhuang Town, wanting to return to Tianhuang Town for investment is completely understandable" 。But, Mr. An only learned about the situation from the newspaper. 。As business people, you must be aware that what's advertised and the reality are often worlds apart, I wonder how much of a discount you'll have to offer!"

Xiang Hezhong also chimed in: "General An, if it weren't for your father being my old friend, the county magistrate wouldn't tell you the truth like this." 。As for the county magistrate, you are investing in a town within his jurisdiction! Because we are all friends, the county magistrate is being honest with you. 。"If you're going to invest in a luxury hotel, Tianhuang Town is definitely not the right place!"

"Yeah" 。"The county tourism director also joined in, “Mr. An, Tianhuang Town has several disadvantages: firstly, the altitude is high and transportation is inconvenient. It’s quite difficult for tourists to drive up to Tianhuang Town, and there are very few visitors; secondly, the infrastructure of Tianhuang Town is quite weak, with no supporting facilities or attractions around it. Opening a high-end hotel there would be easy to become an ‘isolated island’. At that time, I’m afraid you’ll lose your investment." 。What I'm about to say might not be pleasant, but it's the honest truth and I have to say it for your own good. 。Compared to those living in remote areas, we here in 'San Feng Town' have it much better as it's close to the county. 。On the one hand, it is close to the expressway and national highway. Guests from Zhonghai and Hangcheng can easily find it. The surrounding attractions are also abundant, which brings a lot of customers to the hotel invisibly; on the other hand, it is close to the county seat, and we can hold various meetings and receptions in your big hotel when necessary. 。At present, there is only one five-star hotel in our county, the Anxian International Hotel where you are staying today. If your hotel were a standard five-star hotel, meetings of the County Party Committee, the County Government, and various departments would certainly prioritize your hotel. This would be a constant stream of business. 。。

The County Magistrate continued, “What our Party Secretary and Director of Tourism said is right.” 。Our county's Sanfeng Town is much more suitable than Tianhuang Town. 。As for Tianhuang Town, it's only just getting started. Whether or not the "Beautiful and Rich Countryside Construction" will take shape in five or ten years remains a mystery! There's also a bigger problem: security is nowhere near as good as Sanfeng Town. 。TIANHUANG Town is deep in the mountains after all, so we can't deploy a lot of police there. In comparison, SANFENG Town is on the outskirts of the county and has so many mature tourist attractions. It's where our county and town public security forces are concentrated, so it is also the county and city's 'Safe Township'. 。Ketianhuang Town is far inferior. 。"Not safe enough" An Ruyi and Judy looked at each other. 。This is indeed a serious issue. 。If a place is unsafe, guests won't come. And even if they do, their experience will probably be bad, so they won't come back next time. 。

The County Magistrate saw the hesitation in An Ruyi and Zhu Di's expressions, and said: "Director Xiang, tomorrow you first arrange someone to accompany our two beautiful CEOs to 'Sanfeng Town', they should be satisfied. 。"Alright, I'll arrange it right away," replied Xiang He. 。but didn't mention arranging for An Ruyi and Judy to go to Tianhuang Town. 。After all, it was arranged by others, and An Ruyi couldn't force Xiang Hezhong to accompany her to Tianhuang Town. 。

That's how the dinner of that day ended.

Contrary to what the county magistrate, Xiang He and other leaders have said, the number of self-driving tourists who have visited Tianhuang Town in An County has increased compared to usual days due to the promotional effects of Jiangzhong Daily and Jiangzhong Television. 。People were very surprised by the changes that happened in Tianhuang Town, especially Fengqi Village and Baishuiwan Village. 。Today, the original ecological mountain village scenery and neat villages attract many tourists to linger here. 。They feel the biggest drawback is that there are no places to spend money here. 。

They had nowhere to stay at night as there were no hotels, so they had to go back to the city or county; when tired from playing, there was nowhere to sit down and have a cup of coffee or a bite to eat, and there were no restaurants for family members to eat together. 。>> 。They really want to improve the services in the village and attract more tourists. 。

Improving the tertiary industry so that tourists, when they arrive in the village, have something to see, somewhere to play, delicious food to eat, and a place to stay has become the biggest need and an urgent priority. 。These requirements have been reported to Qin Keli, the Party Committee Member and Deputy Town Head. 。Qin Keli has also reported to Xiao Zheng. 。For Xiao Zheng, the biggest problem is raising money and finding projects to build a service network in the village. This requires financial investment and manpower. 。Xiao Zheng even personally called major banks like Industrial and Commercial, Construction, and Agriculture to inquire about the possibility of loans being issued with the town's guarantee. 。Because the heads of branches and the bank manager are not very familiar with Xiao Zheng, and Tianhuang Town does not have any valuable industries to offer, they all refused to give Tianhuang Town a loan. 。

Xiao Zheng planned to go find the banks and credit unions in Jingzhou city again. He always had to find a way to get money and overcome the current difficulties. 。The next day, Xiang He arranged for people to take An Ruyi and Zhu Di to investigate "San Feng Town". 。In the county magistrate's and department director Xiang Hezhong's words, "abundant scenic spots," "complete supporting facilities," "convenient transportation," and "beautiful scenery" don't amount to much in An Ruixi's eyes! These are all too common things. 。Because it's close to the county town, it's relatively noisy; although there are many surrounding attractions, they are all man-made and cannot give people a shocking feeling; what is called complete supporting facilities are just some small restaurants and supermarkets on the roadside, can this be considered supporting facilities An Ruyi wants to create a hotel that is truly ultimate, a type of hotel that cannot be found anywhere else. 。A hotel must provide scenery, cuisine, and culture that others can't offer in order to succeed. 。They built the "Anhai" hotel in Hainan based on this idea. The unique white sand beach, unique sea view, and unique cuisine allow guests to enjoy an ultimate experience, which has enabled them to maintain a thriving business. 。Therefore, this requirement in new hotels can only be strengthened, not weakened. 。After seeing "Sanfeng Town," An Ruyi was not satisfied. The local leaders then took her to see other townships, but none of them pleased An Ruyi. 。But the place she most wanted to visit, Tianhuang Town, wasn't included in the county's itinerary. 。

Back at the restaurant in the evening, An Ruyi told Judy: “Tomorrow, we'll go to Tianhuang Town ourselves.” 。 Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text! information, the data was accurate, and the content was very distinctive. He immediately took it to show Guan Wenwei. 。Guan Wenwei took one look and gave Xiao Zheng a thumbs-up: "Xiao Commissioner, y...
