Liao Zhicheng didn't wait for Bo Yubing to get into the car. He stuck close to her and held her arm with his left hand and her waist with his right hand. It was as if he was holding her in his arms. He said with concern, "Be careful when you get in the car!"
Bo Yubing was almost held in his arms, and her face instantly turned red. Although she didn't know if he was really concerned about her or if he was taking advantage of her, it didn't prevent her from subconsciously reacting. She quickly walked a few steps away from his body and said coldly, "I'll go by myself, thank you!" Then she thought to herself, I'm an adult. Can't I get in the car? Besides, the door of the Iveco is not high. Why does he need to hold me? He's not taking advantage of me, is he? Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered the words Liao Zhicheng said last night. She was surprised. Could it be that under his appearance as an investor, he was hiding a pervert's heart?
When Liao Zhicheng saw that she had such a big reaction, a strange and cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He said, "Let's sit together so that you can introduce me to others on the way."
At the same time as the Iveco left the government compound, Li Rui received the balance of 750,000 yuan and 70,000 yuan interest from Chen Kui in the guest house. The total was 820,000 yuan.
After Chen Kui handed the money to Li Rui, he didn't want to stay a minute longer. He said, "I have something to do, so I'll leave first. You do your work!" After saying that, he wanted to get into his car.
Li Rui shouted, "Don't be in such a hurry, County Mayor Chen. I have to pay the money back. If the amount is wrong, I can't bear the responsibility."
Chen Kui raised his eyebrows and said, "What's there to pay? It was just taken out from the bank. It's not a penny off. "
Li Rui teased him, "Just taken out from the bank? How do you know, County Mayor Chen? Did you pay for it yourself? No way. "
Chen Kui's face instantly turned red. He said angrily, "Nonsense. How could I pay for it myself? Hu Zhixin borrowed it from his friend. How do I know? It's true. The bank had just opened, and the money had just been withdrawn. If he had it yesterday, why didn't Hu Zhixin just give it to me? You really love to let your imagination run wild. "
Li Rui said with a smile, "No matter what, I still need to do a rough calculation. I also need County Head Chen to be my witness. Although I know that nothing will go wrong, what if something does? So, I'll have to trouble County Head Chen to come with me. "
Chen Kui had no choice but to agree and go upstairs with him.
The two of them returned to Li Rui's room. Li Rui poured the money out onto the sofa, then took a stack of money and threw it into a bag. He repeated the number 81 times and confirmed that it was 820,000 yuan. Only then did he let Chen Kui leave.
Li Rui then contacted Ma Yuming and asked him to bring a car to pick him up. Then, he took the money bag and waited at the entrance of the guest house. When the car arrived, he got on the car and instructed the driver to go to Dayingfang Village.
…
On the way to Fairy Cave in Jiupo Town, Liao Zhicheng listened to Lin Lewen's introduction of the general situation of Fairy Cave in the Iveco. Then, he said something shocking in a light tone, "Your Shuanghe County's tourism resources are indeed very rich. I'll inspect it this time. If there are no problems, I'll invest five billion yuan in one go!"
Bo Yubing was stunned. She looked at Zhang Dalei and Lin Lewen who were sitting next to her. She looked at Liao Zhicheng in disbelief and said, "Five billion?! So much? "
Liao Zhicheng nodded and said, "Your county's tourism resources are too rich. It's backed by the Taihang Mountains. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the location is also very advantageous. It's located in the middle and south of North China. It's on the main traffic artery and not far from the few big cities in North China. If you develop it well and do a good job of advertising, the annual tourism revenue will easily increase like a geyser. It's a million yuan a year! But you're still a national poor county. You're holding onto a mountain of gold and silver to beg for food. When we arrive later, I'll inspect it carefully. If it's not too different from what I imagined, I'll invest five billion yuan first to develop your county's tourism resources as a whole! "
Bo Yubing was even more shocked. She looked at him and was speechless. She was both excited and worried about her gains and losses.
Liao Zhicheng explained to her, "Of the five billion yuan, two billion yuan will be used to upgrade your county. You should know that if you want to do a good job in tourism, the county's hardware and software must be able to keep up with the demand. For example, transportation, accommodation, social services, infrastructure, and so on. But when I came to your county, the overall appearance of your county is too ugly. It's too depressing. When tourists see your county in such a shabby state, will they still want to travel, eat, and stay here? I'm not afraid that you'll be unhappy. Your county's appearance is even worse than a small rural town in my country. I'll invest two billion yuan to upgrade the overall appearance of your county. I'll invite famous urban designers from Beijing and Shanghai to unify your county's planning. They'll build an oriental Roman town in the style of a European garden city … "
Bo Yubing was surprised and happy. She cried out, "Really? It'll be great if it can be transformed. "
Lin Lewen, the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau, often came into contact with investors and entrepreneurs because of his work. He also often visited other cities. In the car, he was considered the most knowledgeable among the leaders of Shuanghe County. He felt that Mr. Liao was bragging more and more. He secretly muttered in his heart, "How is it possible to take out five billion yuan at once?" Even Li Jiacheng, the richest Chinese man in Hong Kong, couldn't take out five billion yuan at once. Mr. Liao was just the president of an unknown company in Zhe Province. He wasn't even on the list of the richest people in China. Even if he was rich, how could he surpass Li Jiacheng? Even if he was really rich and could take out five billion yuan at once, why would he invest in a small county like Shuanghe County? Why didn't he invest in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou? Wasn't the return rate there higher?
Although he was suspicious, Lin Lewen didn't dare to show it in public. He knew very well that Mr. Liao was invited by Bo Yubing. If he said too much, he would not only offend Mr. Liao, but also indirectly offend Bo Yubing. What's more, if Mr. Liao wasn't bragging and really prepared to invest, he would say something wrong and annoy Mr. Liao, causing the investment to fail. Therefore, it was better to keep silent. Anyway, Bo Yubing wasn't a fool. She had her own analysis and judgment.
At a quarter past ten, Iveco arrived at the Fairy Cave scenic spot. On the way here, Liao Zhicheng had already praised the scenery along the Fairy River with a look of love and approval. Even Vicky, who was picky about everything, could only sigh in admiration in front of this magnificent and beautiful natural scenery.
In the Fairy Cave scenic spot, Lin Lewen gave Liao Zhicheng a detailed introduction of the interior scenery of the Fairy Cave, which was invested and built by the Malaysian overseas Chinese Huang Weining.
The Fairy Cave was originally just a waterway under a cliff. The entrance of the cave was only half a meter high from the ground. Tourists could only watch the flowing water and deep pool outside the cave on the opposite side of the entrance. Later, after Huang Weining inspected the place, she invested and developed it. She sorted out a five-mile long, strange and steep underground sightseeing waterway, built stone steps and promenades, installed lighting equipment in the main cave, and used high-tech photoelectric technology to create a strange 3D scene of a woman ascending to immortality. In short, the development was very good. It was comparable to the top scenic spots in the country. She also pulled a steel rope out of the cave and equipped a rubber boat at the entrance of the cave. Tourists could lie inside and enter the cave under the guidance of the steel rope.
This project not only created a new and fashionable tourist attraction for the Fairy Cave scenic spot, but also brought in huge ticket sales. The ticket price for this project alone was as high as 80 yuan. The overall ticket price for the Fairy Cave scenic spot also benefited from this, rising from 100 yuan to 120 yuan. It was important to note that the 20 yuan increase did not include the Fairy Cave ticket. If you wanted to visit the Fairy Cave, you had to buy a separate ticket outside the Fairy Cave.
Tourists who came to the Fairy Cave scenic spot all wanted to enter the core attraction of the scenic spot, the Fairy Cave, to play. Who didn't find it interesting to see other tourists lying in rubber boats going in and out of the cave entrance? Who didn't want to try it once? Therefore, tourists who came to the scenic spot would pay an additional 80 yuan for the Fairy Cave ticket.
Huang Weining's Huayun Corporation only earned tens of millions of yuan every year from the entrance fee to the Fairy Cave (after splitting the profits and paying taxes). Their initial investment was only 30 million yuan, and they earned back their investment in one year. In the next few years, they would make a pure profit.
After listening to the introduction, Liao Zhicheng said disdainfully, "What's so special about this project? It's all leftovers from my years. Just wait and see. I'm going to invest one billion yuan in this scenic spot and build three world-class attractions. I want all the tourists in North China to come here to play. I want the tourists in South China to hear the news and come here to give us money to spend. "
Bo Yubing was dumbfounded. Although she had never been to the Fairy Cave scenic spot before, from Lin Lewen's introduction, she knew that the entire scenic spot was located in the huge valley of the Taihang Mountains. It was limited by the terrain — it was almost all winding mountain paths and strange peaks. There wasn't much open space, so it couldn't be developed for large-scale projects. However, this Mr. Liao didn't seem to care about this at all. He opened his mouth and said one billion yuan, and he also wanted to build three world-class attractions. The problem was, where would he build them?
She pondered for a while and felt that Liao Zhicheng might mean to flatten a few mountains and build entertainment projects on them. This was also the usual development and construction model of mountain scenic spots in recent years. Moreover, it was not only for tourism development. Construction projects such as railways and roads were also often built when they encountered mountains. This was understandable. After she thought that she understood this point, she did not ask him, so as not to appear ignorant and ill-informed.
