Chapter 1988 Already on the Gambling Table

"How is this a face-saving project? It is completely different from the previous construction of luxurious office buildings. We do this to promote the development of tourism, which is a disguised way of boosting Yian's economy, increasing employment and improving people's income." Xie Simin was a little excited.

"If Yi'an's tourism industry really develops, then this project will promote the development of the tourism industry. If Yi'an's tourism industry fails in the end, then this project will be just a face-saving and image project for me, Qin Feng." Qin Feng said with a smile.

Xie Simin didn't understand what Qin Feng said. After thinking about it carefully, she understood what Qin Feng meant.

"I really didn't expect that there would be so many things. Qin Feng, forget it. I take back this report." Xie Simin said after thinking about it.

"Why do you want to take it back? Don't you have confidence in the success of this plan?" Qin Feng asked.

"Of course I am confident. This report is the result of several months of research. I have done detailed investigations and surveys. I can tell you with certainty that as long as these projects are completed and promoted online, coupled with the popularity of our Shangling Ancient Village and the Feitian Waterfall that is about to be built, Yi'an will definitely be popular."

"But I can't take this risk. I can't put you in danger because of this idea of ​​mine. I can't gamble with your political future." Xie Simin sighed.

"Gambling, this word is used very well. You are gambling, but actually the one who is betting the biggest is me." Qin Feng smiled.

"what?"

"In fact, my political future is already on the line whether I approve your report or not. I've already bet everything, so I don't mind adding your plan as a small chip."

"What do you mean?"

"I was the one who pushed for the development of Yi'an's tourism industry. In order to develop Yi'an's tourism industry, I not only obtained more than 1 billion yuan in support funds from the province and the city, but also invested several hundred million yuan in fiscal funds from Yi'an. These funds were deducted from other funds."

"But that's not enough. I also asked Yi'an to borrow more than 1 billion yuan, and all of this money was invested in the development of Yi'an's tourism industry."

"A county, a poor county, invested billions in tourism. This is a huge investment. You have to know how many people are there in Yi'an County? This amount of money is not a small amount if it is distributed to every citizen in Yi'an."

"With so much money invested, if Yian's tourism industry succeeds, I, Qin Feng, will be a great contributor. On the contrary, if Yian's tourism industry fails, I will be the biggest sinner, and the responsibility lies entirely with me," said Qin Feng.

Xie Simin frowned and asked, "What will happen if it fails?"

"I don't know either. I don't know how the organization will investigate such a big matter, but I am sure that if I fail, my political career will definitely be over. Even the governor can't save me. Billions of dollars will be wasted. Who can save me?"

"Didn't you think about this before you decided to start this tourism industry?"

"I have thought about it. How could I not have thought about it? This is not my first day as a cadre. Of course I know what's going on here."

"Then why do you still want to do it? You know there is such a big risk but you still jump in. In my impression, you are not a person who likes gambling." Xie Simin was puzzled.

"Because I have no other options. Yi'an is a place with poor natural conditions. Even though I have been promoting agricultural industrialization since I took office, and it seems to be thriving, let me tell you, from the perspective of the entire county, even if agricultural industrialization is a complete success, it will not have a significant effect on the county's economy. Agriculture is not industry."

“To be more specific, Yi’an cannot escape poverty or change its current situation by relying solely on agriculture.”

"Yi'an does not have the ability to develop industry at all. The only thing that can work is tourism. We have rich tourism resources in Yi'an, and the tourism industry has a driving effect on the economy that is no less than industry."

"If Yi'an's tourism industry can develop, it will completely lift the people of Yi'an out of poverty and allow them to live a prosperous life from now on."

"I'm not a gambler, but I still took the gamble when it came to developing tourism."

"The province asked me to come to Yi'an to fight poverty, and since I am the county magistrate and county party secretary of Yi'an for a day, it is my responsibility to lead the people of Yi'an out of poverty and into prosperity."

"I don't want to talk about big principles, because if I do, you will accuse me of being pretentious. But I am speaking from the heart about this matter. I really want to do something practical to help the people of Yian so that their lives can get better and better and they don't have to suffer so much." Qin Feng said while smoking.

This was the first time Qin Feng had a heart-to-heart talk with Xie Simin, and it was also the first time Qin Feng revealed this matter to someone.

Qin Feng's words touched Xie Simin deeply, and it was as if Xie Simin got to know Qin Feng all over again.

"So, whether your report is approved or not, and whether the project is launched or not, does not affect me. Moreover, if it is really as you expect, these can greatly increase the attractiveness of our Yi'an, then the 50 million is worth spending, and it must be spent."

"So, I must approve this report and the project must be launched. But as I said before, just because I understand what you said in your report doesn't mean other leaders can understand how much benefit this project will bring to Yi'an's tourism industry."

"So, I need you to go back and do your homework. Tomorrow you will give a good lesson to the other leaders, especially to Mayor Changsheng."

"You have to teach this lesson well and let them see the benefits that this project will bring to Yian after it is launched." Qin Feng said with a smile.

The car stopped downstairs of Xie Simin's house. Xie Simin got out of the car, and Qin Feng followed suit.

"How have things been going between you and Lu Zian lately?" Qin Feng asked.

"What do you mean? Nothing happened." Xie Simin was a little shy.

When Qin Feng saw Xie Simin’s shy look, he knew that Xie Simin had feelings for Lu Zian.

"Xiao Min, there is a question you need to think about clearly. You are a selected student and you will be sent to the grassroots for training for three years. When the three years are up, the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department will take you back and reassign you. You will most likely be assigned to some important department or important position in a big city. It is unlikely that you will be allowed to stay at the grassroots level. Moreover, the probability of you being assigned to Yian or Xiquan is also very low."

"In other words, it will be difficult for you and Lu Zian to work together at that time, and you will be in a long-distance relationship. You must think about whether you two can bear a long-distance relationship and be mentally prepared." Qin Feng asked.

Xie Simin nodded: "I know, I told him too, but right now he and I are not at the stage of talking about marriage, we are just dating for now, and it is not the time to consider these things."
