Dongzhou City was located in the center of Xijiang Province. The largest river in the province, the Xijiang River, flowed through the area. It was surrounded by mountains and the hinterland was empty, a typical valley basin. Blessed with natural resources, convenient and fast transportation network, and rapid economic development, Dongzhou City had become the economic center of the province.
Compared to Dongzhou City, the neighboring Nanyang City was the complete opposite. The regional location was typical of the loess plateau. There were extremely rich mineral resources within the territory, but the transportation was blocked. There was only one provincial highway passing through the entire county, which led to a lack of economic development potential. It was like an old mule overloaded with a carriage full of gold. It was ambitious, but it was powerless.
In recent years, when our country assessed the political achievements of a place, a government, and a team, the first thing to bear the brunt was the economic development index. Nanyang City had the resources, but it was unable to produce results. Until now, it was still labeled as a "national poor county". The outside world teased Nanyang City: "A tycoon with famous brands standing on the side of the road begging for food." The words were crude, but the reality was true.
Therefore, after every county leader came to Nanyang City, they would raise their fists, pound the table, and pat their chest to vigorously develop the economy. After three minutes of enthusiasm, they would scratch their cheeks and give up. Later on, they would muddle along and put all their attention on "money", hoping to be transferred out of this godforsaken place as soon as possible. All the previous leaders were like this.
Finally, there was a man of action, Chu Yunchi. As soon as he took office, he pointed out the predicament of the development of Nanyang City. Resources were abundant, but the serious loss of resources led to the financial weakness of the county. Therefore, he decided to overhaul the coal market in Nanyang City and divert the funds to develop transportation. However, because the interests involved were too deep, and the attitude of the County party committee was ambiguous, this development idea had just entered the practical stage when it was surrounded and driven out of Nanyang City by local forces.
Lu Yiwei and his team drove a high-performance Toyota luxury business car, chatting and laughing all the way to the "Holiday Villa" in Dongzhou City.
The "Holiday Villa" was located in the suburbs of Dongzhou City, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It was a beautiful and pleasant place for leisure and vacation. The villa was backed by Puding Mountain and surrounded on three sides by the Xijiang River. The mountains and water complemented each other naturally. Every morning or evening, a thin layer of mist floated up from the mountainside. On the river, fishermen swayed their fishing boats as they passed by. Under the reflection of the morning sun or the setting sun, it added a rich cultural flavor to the place. The beauty of the scenery was as picturesque as a painting.
Villas of different shapes and sizes in the villa were arranged in the jungle. The tree-shaded paths connected the individual villas, creating a beautiful scenery. There were hotels, hot springs, swimming pools, sanatoriums, horse riding grounds, hunting grounds, and so on. Everything that one could think of could be found in the villa. The comprehensive and perfect facilities and considerate service made this place famous in the province and even the whole country. People came from all over the country to spend this time. Of course, those who could afford it were either high-ranking officials or wealthy merchants.
