Chapter 2034 Reporting for Rewards

"The third point is the most important. We must vigorously promote it. This is not only to deter those operators in the tourism market, but more importantly, it can play a role in publicity, so that tourists can have more confidence in our tourism environment in Yi'an."

Qin Feng said while smoking.

"Your idea is very good, and I support it very much, but isn't 500,000 a lot? 500,000 for one report, this... won't be difficult for the finance department to pay?" Zhu Dongliang asked with some embarrassment.

"This 500,000 is not just the reward fee, it's actually the publicity fee. Do you think it's expensive if you consider it as publicity fee? If this measure can really build everyone's confidence in our Yi'an Tourism, even if the reward is tens of millions, it will be a worthwhile business. What do you think?"

"So, if we want to achieve the effect of publicity, this amount of money cannot be small. The larger the amount, the more it can boost people's confidence in our Yi'an tourism. If I were not really concerned about whether it was too shocking, I would want to increase it to one million."

"In fact, this kills two birds with one stone. First, it is for publicity, and second, it can also play a good supervisory and deterrent role. With this reward measure, coupled with our severe crackdown and punishment measures, I believe that no business in Yian will dare to engage in this kind of overcharging behavior." Qin Feng explained to Zhu Dongliang.

After hearing what Qin Feng said, Zhu Dongliang's eyes lit up and he said, "Secretary, this is a really great move."

"This is not something I came up with. People like us who live in the traditional world cannot come up with such a weird idea. This was a suggestion that Xie Simin gave me when she called me this morning. Young people have active brains and are full of weird ideas." Qin Feng smiled.

That afternoon, Qin Feng received a call from Tan Man, the Propaganda Minister of the Municipal Party Committee, while he was in a meeting. The city also paid attention to the public opinion on the Internet.

Qin Feng asked Zhu Dongliang to continue to preside over the meeting, then walked out of the meeting room with his mobile phone, stood in the corridor and talked to Tan Man on the phone. He explained to Tan Man in detail the ins and outs of the whole matter and introduced to Tan Man the response measures of Yian County.

Tan Man criticized Yian County and finally ordered Yian to control public opinion.

The city did not interfere and did not pursue accountability, which shows that the Municipal Party Committee has confidence and trust in Qin Feng.

This time, Qin Feng stayed in Yian for a full week for the first time ever, and only left when the popularity of Yian on the Internet subsided.

Before Qin Feng left, all new measures in Yian County were introduced.

Qin Feng personally convened a county-wide tourism environment management conference. At the conference, Zhu Dongliang announced a series of measures and regulations, including the 500,000 yuan reward for reporting crimes.

At the end of the conference, Qin Feng said something that later went viral on the Internet: "Yian is a poor county, and tourism is the only hope for the people of Yi'an to get rid of poverty and become rich. If anyone dares to cut off the path of poverty alleviation for the people of Yi'an, I will destroy their job."

The day after Qin Feng left Yi'an, Yi'an County announced a 500,000 yuan reward initiative for reporting crimes. This initiative was not only announced within Yi'an County, but was also promoted to the entire network through Xie Simin's new media center, which once again sparked heated discussions about Yi'an County across the entire network.

There is even a joke online that says the newest way to get rich is to travel to Yian, which doesn't cost a penny and you might even come back a millionaire.

As soon as this measure came out, businesses throughout Yian County began to tremble in fear, treating foreign tourists as if they were their own fathers, for fear that these "dear fathers" would find evidence of overcharging them and report them for money. These businesses are most aware of the severity of the punishment this time, and if they are really reported, they know what their fate will be.

As soon as this measure was introduced, the tourism environment of the entire Yian County seemed to have undergone a qualitative change overnight. Before, businesses treated foreign tourists like lambs to be slaughtered, but now they treat them like their own fathers.

Of course, Yian County’s measures are not limited to this. Reporting channels issued by the County Tourism Administration Office are posted in prominent places throughout Yian County, as well as in taxis, restaurants, hotels, etc., including telephone, email, anonymous letters, and even messages on Weibo, self-media, and public accounts.

Within a week of the announcement of the measure, Yian County received and confirmed eleven reports of "overcharging" behavior. The Yian County government did not hesitate at all and immediately rewarded the reporter after confirmation. It was an anonymous reward of 500,000 yuan, not a penny less, which once again sparked heated discussions across the Internet.

On one side, whistleblowers are rewarded, and on the other side, the most severe punishments are imposed on businesses and taxi drivers who "rip off customers".

After a week, fewer people received this kind of reporting reward. In the beginning, there would hardly be one case a week. Later, there would be one case a month. Finally, it disappeared completely. The probability of this kind of reward was almost catching up with winning the Double Color Ball, because no business dared to take the risk.

Because of this move, and the fact that the tourism culture in Yian County has really undergone earth-shaking changes, the Yian tourism market that was initially affected has slowly begun to recover its original hot scene, and is even hotter than before, because this wave of traffic once again played a publicity role, allowing many people across the country to know and understand Yian, this remote small county.

Almost at the same time, the bunch of iconic cultural and tourism projects that Xie Simin had applied for were also approved and started to be implemented at a very fast speed. According to the requirements, these projects had to be completed and put into use before the Tourism Development Conference.

Because the Yangtze River Economic Zone project invested by Xiao Jianan had started construction, Yian County had money in its finances. This money was not only allocated to the project applied for by Xie Simin, but the rest was also invested in several tourism projects in the first phase.

Tourism projects throughout Yian County are being constructed overtime, striving to be completed before the Tourism Development Conference.

The biggest difficulty facing Qin Feng now is the approval from the Culture and Tourism Bureau.

The Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism did not have a complete team, and Liu Xiaoping was interfering, so this matter could not be implemented and had to be delayed.

Not only is the Yian cultural and tourism project stuck, but the shantytown renovation project that Xie Zhiguo vigorously promoted has also been stuck. Although no major conflicts have broken out recently, the entire project has fallen into a substantial stagnation. This is a huge challenge to Xie Zhiguo's personal prestige.

The root of all this lies in the municipal government and Liu Xiaoping. Sometimes Qin Feng has to admire Liu Xiaoping's methods and his deep roots in Xiquan City.
