This time Jian Wei and I were going to a small county in northern Jiangsu. The water resources are very rich, and the scenic spot we were going to inspect was just next to the Huaihe River. A few years ago, it was popular because of the local developed aquatic product resources. At that time, many water restaurants with different styles were opened on the lakes in the scenic spots. At night, it was indeed a good enjoyment to be able to eat river food in these water restaurants and see the night view of the Huaihe River. However, the influence of this county itself is limited and has almost no radiation capacity. In addition, other cities around the water have followed this attraction model of creating water restaurants, and soon lost popularity due to competition, and then fell into a situation where it is difficult to maintain business.

I heard that in order to build this scenic spot, almost all the county town was working hard. After a few years of profit, I fell into huge losses. The local government also faced great public pressure, so I planned to sell the scenic spot and promised that once a company engaged in the tourism industry took over this scenic spot, it would definitely provide the greatest policy support, hoping that the scenic spot could regain its vitality and reduce the public opinion pressure of the government's inaction.

Because the departure time was relatively early in the morning, Jian Wei and I had already arrived in the county before noon, and the director of the local tourism bureau was already waiting for us at the entrance of the scenic area with a team.

The weather today is very good. In addition, it was a weekend. There were some vehicles with foreign license plates parked at the entrance of the scenic spot. It seemed to be on vacation. This was a bit ironic, because a medium-sized scenic spot that once focused on water catering needed intensive popularity. At this time, it became a quiet resort because no one cared about it. The lakes in the scenic area have also become fishing areas for a small number of tourists to fish and have fun. The business situation is simply terrible. At this time, I really doubted Jian Wei and Yang's calm investment vision!

After the car stopped, I got out of the car with Jian Wei. The director seemed to have had contact with Jian Wei before. With his belly straightened, he hurriedly walked towards Jian Wei, stretched out his hand, and said in a strong dialect: "Mr. Jian, thank you for your hard work!"

Jian Wei held his hand, said with a very workplace smile, "It's not hard work, but you've been waiting for a long time."

"It's okay, it's okay. You're already very grateful that you can come to us. Mr. Jian, you don't know. The pressure from the above is really great... But this scenic spot...ah! It's really tricky. It's so worried about our team of tourists!"

Jian Wei just smiled, and then introduced me who was with me to the director and the people behind him. The director shook hands with me enthusiastically and called me "General Zhao."

"Mr. Zhao, you are here for the first time, why don't we take a look at the scenic spot first?" the director suggested.

I made a gesture to ask him to lead the way, and the group walked into the scenic area. After entering the scenic area, their horizons suddenly became wider. In addition, the weather is good today, and under the blue sky and white clouds, this unpopular scenic area looks a bit spiritual, especially the fog that has not completely dissipated on the small lake. Under the embellishment of willow leaves, it adds a faint sense of mystery to the place. The dozens of ancient-style ships parked neatly on the lake add a retro atmosphere to the scenic area.

The director and others led the way and briefly introduced the attractions. After I and Jian Wei deliberately slowed down and communicated privately. Jian Wei asked me: "Zhaoyang, what do you think of this attraction?"

I looked around and replied: "The first image is OK, but it feels more like a resort. In addition, due to the constraints of the type of business, it is greatly affected by the seasons, and the pressure of competition, the tourism market in this county is not in a climate, so I don't think it is possible to revive the dead."

Jian Wei smiled and said, "Uncle Yang and I also think so."

I was surprised: "Then aren't you investing blindly?"

Jian Wei looked at me meaningfully and said, "The drunkard's intention is not to drink."

"What's the meaning?"

Jian Wei did not rush to answer me, and first called the director who was leading the way, saying that he wanted to take a walk with me alone. The director naturally agreed. Before leaving, he reminded Jian Wei to wait for his phone call and he arranged for us to have a meal, but Jian Wei politely refused. I know that Jian Wei, as a second-generation official, is very taboo about these official dinners.

After the director left with his people, I sat down with Jian Wei at a tourist platform by the lake. Beside me were willow leaves fluttering in the wind and the rippling lake water under my feet. From time to time, fish foraging jumped out of the lake. After making noise, I quickly dived and swam, leaving only ripples on the lake, but it made my mood say goodbye to impetuousness for a while and gradually settled down.

Jian Wei looked at the wide lake. The autumn breeze, the yellow willow branches rippled in front of her from time to time, and the fallen leaves seemed to make her the person in the painting. It was so beautiful that I didn't dare to look directly, so I took out a cigarette from my pocket and lit it, and asked again: "Tell me, what does the drunkard's meaning meant not to wine?"

"What do you think of the traffic conditions in this county?"

"Water and land transportation are all very smooth, and logistics are still very developed."

“Where is the labor cost?”

"It should be very low..."

As soon as I finished answering, I suddenly understood what Jian Wei meant and asked, "Do you and Uncle Yang plan to put the production line of tourism supplies in this county?"

Jian Wei nodded and said, "Zhaoyang, Uncle Yang and I will not fight unsure. Before this, we have communicated with the local government. If we take this scenic spot, they will give strong policy preferences, including providing our production line with rent-free factories, which will reduce our investment costs a lot... In addition, the most important thing is: Although Uncle Yang and I think the investment value of this scenic spot is not high, the county itself has a rich tourism resources. However, the local government is not very good at integrating and utilizing these tourism resources, but they have a strong desire to build this county into a tourist city. Therefore, as the first stop to open up the territory, there will be many possibilities in the future, which is worth looking forward to..."

I thought about it and found that this is really one of the few counties in Jiangsu Province with mountains and rivers. Due to the backward economy, the city is almost not polluted by industry. Once a suitable tourism development position is found in the future, there will be many possibilities. In addition, Jian Wei's huge energy in the advertising industry and Yang Congrong's tourism industry will definitely have the opportunity to build tourism into the city's city business card. Perhaps the local government valued the influence of Jian Wei and Yang Congrong in their respective industries, so it took the initiative to cater to it.

I asked Jian Wei again, "How much do they plan to sell this scenic spot?"

"It's not sure yet, but the price will definitely not be high... Haha, I believe that the contribution we will make to the local economic development in the future will be far more than the value of this scenic spot. They should understand this more than anyone else... Zhaoyang, let's work hard together, work hard together, and strive to make Luku become the largest tourism listed company in China in the shortest time, okay?"

I looked at her and didn't know how to answer, because she and Yang Congrong were both great operators, strategists, and far-sighted, but I was just an angry young man who liked alternatives and niches. Until now, I still thought about how to find more shops like "west of the Old City" to fill the cultural and artistic atmosphere.

Their ideals are too great, but my needs are too strange!... At this moment, I really felt the deviation between us! But I never really understand. Since Yang Congrong and Jian Wei have such great energy, why didn’t they choose to start their own business and invest in my company?

Originally I thought they were interested in this literary and artistic path, but now it seems that I was wrong! Their strategic attempts have completely exceeded my imagination!
