Chapter 1987 Taking Political Risks

Qin Feng smiled. This was the real Xie Simin. Xie Simin was so "polite" to him during the afternoon meeting and dinner in the evening. She was giving him face.

"What is your opinion on the report?" Xie Simin asked.

"Very good. In the next two days, I will talk to the county magistrate and relevant leaders to study this matter carefully. We will try to get the project started as soon as possible and complete it before the Tourism Development Conference." Qin Feng answered directly.

Xie Simin didn't expect Qin Feng to agree, and he agreed so readily. She looked at Qin Feng in disbelief: "Are you kidding me?"

"Are you kidding? Why do you think so? Didn't you write this report? Didn't you make the plan?" Qin Feng also felt that Xie Simin was puzzled.

"Yes, I wrote the report and proposed the idea. Minister Peng agreed, but it costs 50 million and requires government financial investment."

"What's wrong? I'm a little confused by your attitude. You were the one who wrote the report, but now that I agree to it, you're reluctant." Qin Feng asked with a smile.

"I'm not reluctant, I just...I just think you agreed too readily, as if you were joking with me."

"I agreed too readily and that might be a mistake, right?" Qin Feng couldn't help laughing.

"Your suggestion is very good, and you have analyzed the reasons very well. I see that the reason why you plan to set up a number of Internet celebrity check-in spots is to attract young people. As long as you can attract young people, there will be no worries about not being able to become an Internet hotspot. As long as it becomes an Internet hotspot, there will be no worries about no one coming to Yian." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Yes, that's the truth. This is what young people nowadays like. This is also the reason why I want to create a number of internet celebrity check-in spots to cooperate with our Tourism Development Conference." Xie Simin nodded.

"What you are doing now has exceeded the cognition of us traditional cadres. To be honest, I am not sure what results this will produce, but I believe in you." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Just because you trust me, you agreed to this project? This is 50 million." Xie Simin still thought Qin Feng was joking.

"When you were working in the new media, did anyone support you? What was the result? I believed in you, and you did very well, surprising everyone. This makes Peng Shenghui hold his head high when he goes to the city now. I believe in you not only because you are my sister, but also because I think you have the ability."

"Sitting in my position, some things seem difficult to handle, but they are actually very simple. I am just an ordinary person, not a god. It is impossible for me to understand everything. For some things I don't understand, I have to absolutely trust others." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"But can the government allocate 50 million to do this?" Xie Simin asked.

"When did you start paying attention to our Yian's financial situation?"

"Director Gu from the Finance Bureau came out of your office and sat in Director Zhang's office for a while, complaining that the finance department didn't have a penny and was in debt, so they simply couldn't come up with so much money to deal with this shitty matter." Xie Simin asked.

"Did Gu Gang curse someone? He cursed the person who wrote this report." Qin Feng laughed.

"Yes."

Qin Feng laughed out loud.

"I'm not kidding, I'm talking to you seriously." Xie Simin was very dissatisfied with Qin Feng's "hehe" attitude.

"Gu Gang is not talking nonsense. Yi'an's financial situation is indeed difficult. We are a poor county with no fiscal revenue. We rely entirely on state transfer payments, but the little money from state transfer payments is barely enough to maintain normal operations."

"In addition, I have built many new projects in Yi'an County in the past two years, especially in the tourism industry, which requires huge investments. Although most of the funds were raised by me from the provincial and municipal governments, our finances have also incurred a large debt. We are now completely outspending and cannot afford to spend any extra money."

Thinking of the financial difficulties, Qin Feng couldn't help but frown. There was nothing he could do about it. Yian was indeed too poor.

"So you still agree? Where does the money come from?"

"How to get the money is my business. Don't worry about it. You should prepare for another thing." Qin Feng said.

"what's up?"

"I personally agree with your report, but it's useless if I agree alone. I need other comrades to agree as well."

"Although I can force it through, I will encounter resistance during the implementation process, and it will be detrimental to the unity within the team and will destroy the team's cohesion," said Qin Feng.

Xie Simin nodded. She understood this principle. She was no longer the white girl she used to be.

"But to be honest, apart from me, the rest of the comrades will not be too impressed by your report, especially the county magistrate, who will definitely strongly oppose it."

"Why?" Xie Simin didn't understand.

"It's not that the county magistrate is targeting you. County magistrate Changsheng is not that kind of person. A county magistrate would not do such a thing. The reason he opposes it is because he considers the interests of the entire county."

Xie Simin nodded again.

"They have several reasons for opposing it. First, our Yi'an finances really cannot afford this project. This is an objective fact. The county magistrate has to control the finances, so he is bound to oppose it. You should understand this."

"I know."

"Second, let's consider the political aspect. You know the previous incident of Yi'an's extravagance and construction of luxurious office buildings. This incident is somewhat similar in nature. At least in the eyes of most people, they will think that this is another face-saving project."

"Because of this kind of thing, An has been put on the blacklist. If he does such a thing again, he will take a great political risk." Qin Feng lit a cigarette.

Xie Simin didn't expect that there was such a reason. This was something she had never expected and it was impossible for her to think of.

"If you agree to do this, will your superiors hold you accountable?" Xie Simin asked.

"It depends on how the higher-ups characterize it."

"What are the serious consequences?"

"As for the consequences... I will have the same consequences as the last Yi'an County Party Secretary."

"Ah? Then...then you still agree."

"These are two different things. It doesn't mean that the higher-ups will definitely characterize this as extravagance and waste, nor does it mean that this will attract their attention. Besides, I can't just give up doing it because it's risky. If that's the case, Yi'an will just stay where it is. How can we talk about development?"

"As long as you do something, you will take risks. This is inevitable."

"But just because I think so doesn't mean other comrades are willing to take the risk. After all, in their view, spending 50 million to build a musical fountain, a light show, and so on is just a show and a face-saving project." Qin Feng said while smoking.
