Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

At this time, Zhao Wenhao did not know that the two big bosses of the Leizhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government were still playing against each other. At this time, he was answering the phone in the study.

The person on the other end of the phone was Executive Vice Governor Zhou Xian.

"Mr. Zhao, I heard you're going to invest over 10 billion in Ping'an County and build a scenic area?"

"Governor Zhou, this is indeed true. However, it's still under discussion. I didn't expect it to reach your ears so soon!"

"You're planning to set off a big firecracker! Wow, a billion, and you're investing it in the tourism industry. Is this the direction you're planning to develop?"

"No, I mainly wanted to help develop my hometown. Also, I felt sad to see the mountains and rivers of our Ping'an County being developed indiscriminately. So I wanted to help out."

"Look, Li Xiangqian from the Provincial Cultural Tourism Group contacted me and wanted to meet with you. Do you have any other opinions?"

"They are planning to..."

"The Provincial Cultural Tourism Group is the largest tourism industry group in our province and has also created several excellent projects in the province. I heard that you want to invest in the tourism industry and hope to reach a cooperation with you. If you are willing, I am willing to act as a matchmaker."

"Of course there's no problem with meeting them, and I'd also like to hear their professional advice. But whether or not to cooperate is something I still need to consider."

"Okay, then let's go to the provincial government's small conference room at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

……

Zhao Wenhao slowly put down the phone in his hand, frowned slightly, stared into the distance, and seemed to be lost in deep thought.

He never imagined that the topic he had just discussed with Ping'an County yesterday would spread to the province in such a short time.

He was somewhat surprised at how quickly the news spread.

However, Zhao Wenhao was very clear about this matter and knew that it would not bring him any substantial harm.

On the contrary, this may even help to promote the smooth implementation of your plans.

Because from the very beginning, he had great ambitions and wanted to find a professional organization to work together to create a large-scale and unique scenic area project.

However, he is still carefully considering which partner to choose.

Among them, cooperation with the Provincial Cultural Tourism Group is also one of the options, but whether a cooperation intention can be reached in the end still requires further in-depth investigation.

With this in mind, the next morning, the sun shone through the thin clouds and fell on the earth, casting a golden glow on the entire city.

Zhao Wenhao, wearing a well-tailored dark suit, arrived at the small conference room of the provincial government early.

At this time, there were already several people in the conference room waiting for his arrival.

"Director Zhao, come here, let me introduce you."

As soon as Zhou Xian saw Zhao Wenhao walk into the conference room, he immediately stood up, walked over to him with a smile on his face, and tightly grasped his hand, saying, "I'm sure you know Governor Sun. He's our province's vice governor in charge of tourism!"

Zhou Xian pointed at the middle-aged man sitting at the conference table. He was tall, with a kind face and a calm and wise look in his eyes.

After hearing Zhou Xian's introduction, Zhao Wenhao hurriedly smiled and nodded to Governor Sun to express his greetings.

Zhou Xian then pointed to another man next to him, also dressed in a suit, and continued, "This is Mr. Li Xiangqian, Director of the Provincial Cultural Tourism Group! Their company has considerable experience and resources in the cultural tourism sector."

Li Xiangqian, whose name was called, stood up, smiled, and extended his right hand to Zhao Wenhao, saying in a friendly manner, "Hello, Mr. Zhao! I've long heard of you, and seeing you today, I'm sure you're quite impressive!"

Zhao Wenhao also quickly extended his hand to shake his, and responded, "Mr. Li, thank you for your compliment. Please take care of me in the future!"

Just like that, under Zhou Xian's enthusiastic guidance, Zhao Wenhao got to know and greet the other people present in turn, and then everyone sat down and prepared to start the discussion on the cooperation on the scenic area project.

"Mr. Zhao, you may not have been involved in this kind of business before. Please allow me to introduce some information about our provincial cultural tourism group." Li Xiangqian said proactively and enthusiastically.

Zhao Wenhao nodded slightly and gestured with his hand.

Li Xiangqian then introduced the situation of the Cultural Tourism Group to Zhao Wenhao, especially the projects led by their group and its current status.

The purpose is nothing more than one: in the cultural tourism industry, the Provincial Cultural Tourism Group is the largest enterprise in the province. They have sufficient experience and capabilities to lead such a large project.

Zhao Wenhao did not comment, just listened with his ears, but did not express any opinion.

Li Xiangqian had never dealt with Zhao Wenhao before, so he naturally didn't know his temperament. Therefore, seeing that he had expressed his intention but received no response, he couldn't help but feel anxious.

He quickly turned his gaze to Vice Governor Sun standing beside him, hoping that he could help speak up.

Sun Yingfei pondered for a moment, then finally asked, "Director Zhao, for a project like this, are you planning to develop it yourself, or partner with multiple parties?"

"I only mentioned this project yesterday while chatting with a few colleagues from Ping'an County. I didn't expect it to become such a hot topic today. To be honest, I'm still considering it and don't have a clear plan yet."

Zhao Wenhao maintained enough respect for Vice Governor Sun Yingfei and naturally did not turn a blind eye to him.

Li Xiangqian was shocked. He was afraid that Zhao Wenhao would directly say that he was going to work alone. In that case, there would be no place for their Provincial Cultural Tourism Group.

Since it has not been confirmed yet, there are still many opportunities.

"Mr. Zhao, our Cultural Tourism Group would like to collaborate with you to create a picturesque and multifunctional scenic area. We have discussed this internally and are willing to invest 100 million yuan and organize a team of experts to conduct an on-site inspection in Ping'an County immediately.

If Mr. Zhao is willing, we could even set up a new company to jointly lead this project. We can discuss the specific proportions. We sincerely want to join such a project."

Obviously, Li Xiangqian hopes to impress Zhao Wenhao through his own advantages and an investment of 1 million yuan.

One hundred million yuan is the maximum amount that the Provincial Cultural Tourism Group can afford.

From this point of view, they are already very sincere.

"Mr. Li, do you think this is feasible? I really can't give you an immediate answer right now." Zhao Wenhao thought for a moment and finally said, "If you are truly sincere, please come up with a specific plan first. Once I see a feasible plan, we can discuss it in detail."

"Okay, no problem. I'll arrange for a team of experts to conduct an investigation after I get back."
