Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

At this moment, the sun sets and its afterglow shines on the streets and alleys of Xuanzhou.

Zhao Wenhao was dragging his tired body and busying himself with his wife Yang Yue to clean up the slightly messy house.

However, at this moment, Zhao Wenhao was completely unaware that a thought in his mind, like a huge rock falling into water, caused an uproar in the entire province.

That’s a huge investment of 10 billion!

What is even more shocking is that this money will be invested in the remote, poor and backward Ping'an County to create a brand new scenic area.

This explosive news quickly spread to every corner of the province, and people were talking about this incredible decision.

The Dingzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government responded immediately and urgently summoned Ping'an County Party Secretary Wang Xinyong and County Mayor Chen Ping.

In the serious meeting room, the atmosphere was so heavy that it was almost suffocating.

When the municipal party committee leaders confirmed the authenticity of this situation from Wang Xinyong and Chen Ping, they decided on the spot to immediately set up a special team specifically for this project.

Soon, the news of the establishment of the special task force spread like wildfire.

Mayor Fan Zhiwei personally took charge as the team leader, demonstrating his high attention to this project.

Ping'an County Party Secretary Wang Xinyong and County Mayor Chen Ping were appointed as deputy team leaders to fully assist the mayor in advancing the work.

At the same time, experts from various fields were also summoned, and an in-depth discussion on the feasibility of the project began.

In other municipal units, this news was like a bombshell, triggering a series of chain reactions.

Some people coveted such a huge project and secretly thought about how to pry it away from Ping'an County.

In their eyes, placing such an important project with huge potential in Ping'an County is simply a waste of natural resources.

Thus, all kinds of open and covert struggles and intrigues gradually unfolded...

For example, Leizhou City in the south already has a certain foundation in the tourism industry.

There are many remarkable scenic spots and historical sites within its urban area, which are like shining pearls inlaid in this land.

If sufficient capital injection can be obtained, then there is no doubt that these valuable resources can be more fully developed and utilized, and then promoted and developed, further promoting the vigorous development of the entire city's tourism industry.

It is worth mentioning that because Leizhou City already has a certain tourism foundation, it does not require an overly large investment scale compared to some other regions.

This is in stark contrast to Ping'an County, which has to build a complete tourism industry chain almost from scratch.

At this moment, Leizhou Municipal Party Committee Secretary Xiang Mingxuan was sitting upright on a spacious and comfortable sofa.

Sitting directly opposite him was the mayor Wei Han, and next to Wei Han was the deputy mayor Ma Tiancheng, who was responsible for the management of important areas such as tourism, health and education.

Back in 1993, Xiang Mingxuan was the executive vice mayor of Xuanzhou. He was then transferred to Leizhou to serve as mayor. In 1995, he was successfully promoted to the secretary of the municipal party committee, thus opening a new chapter in his administration of Leizhou.

Although there has not been much change in level, he has already taken charge of a region.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will be promoted to the provincial level by next year at the latest.

At this moment, Xiang Mingxuan's thoughts were in a mess, and every detail of his past interactions with Zhao Wenhao flooded into his mind like a tide.

Looking back to those days, in Xiang Mingxuan's eyes, Zhao Wenhao was just a young man who had just started out, full of vigor and ambition.

It was just because Xiang Mingxuan's younger brother Xiang Mingyu had some friendship with him, and out of love for Zhao Wenhao, Xiang Mingxuan also took good care of Zhao Wenhao.

However, time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye. Today, Hengyuan Electronics is no longer what it used to be. Its rapid development is beyond imagination, and it has become a giant leader in the industry.

The once immature Zhao Wenhao has transformed himself and become the richest man in the country.

Such a huge change really made Xiang Mingxuan feel infinite emotion.

At this moment, Wei Han, standing nearby, asked casually, "Secretary Xiang, you once served as the Executive Vice Mayor of Xuanzhou. Do you recognize Zhao Wenhao?"

When saying this, Wei Han's face was filled with just the right amount of curiosity, but in fact, his mind was as clear as a mirror, and he knew very well the relationship between Xiang Mingxuan and Zhao Wenhao. This question was nothing more than trying to test Xiang Mingxuan's attitude.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Mingxuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible wry smile, his expression remaining as serious as ever. "Well, we've dealt with each other before. But Hengyuan Electronics was very small back then, hardly worth mentioning. As for now... they've become very successful, and I wonder if they'll still show some respect to me out of our old friendship!"

Although there is a hint of helplessness in his words, there is more of an open-mindedness that comes from having experienced the vicissitudes of life.

"No matter what, there is always a sense of incense."

Wei Han couldn't help but hum in his heart and cursed inwardly: Old fox, why are you trying to play tricks on me?

"Mayor Ma must do his job as soon as possible, but none of us know Mr. Zhao, so it's not easy to win his trust."

"Your city government, in addition to coming up with a project plan as quickly as possible, must also contact Zhao Wenhao as soon as possible." Xiang Mingxuan couldn't help but sneer inwardly. "Try to contact him first, understand his ideas, and then do the relevant work in a targeted manner."

Wei Han nodded silently.

This work is within the jurisdiction of the city government, but Wei Han finds it difficult.

In Wei Han's opinion, Zhao Wenhao is in the home appliance industry, and the reason he launched the tourism industry project is nothing more than to help build his hometown.

How could such a project be snatched away from Dingzhou?

Of course, another possibility is to let Zhao Wenhao invest in Leizhou as well.

But the problem still comes back to the previous point. They are in the home appliance industry. Unless they are ready to officially enter the tourism industry, how could they be willing to pay this money?

You have to understand that investing in the tourism industry only yields long-term returns. Expecting to see results in the short term is unrealistic.

Likewise, Wei Han was aware of Xiang Mingxuan's close relationship with Zhao Wenhao. Therefore, he had deliberately said that. His intention was simply to have Xiang Mingxuan personally recruit Zhao Wenhao to invest in the tourism industry in Leizhou.

To put it bluntly, Wei Han didn't think that Zhao Wenhao came to Leizhou to invest in the tourism industry just because he was familiar with Xiang Mingxuan, so he said this deliberately.

Unfortunately, Xiang Mingxuan did not accept the challenge, but asked the city government to intervene.

There is nothing wrong with Xiang Mingxuan saying this, because this is the job of the city government and it is their responsibility to do it.
