So one can't help but wonder, could it be that Comrade Yuliang has already given up on Wenshui County?

At this moment, Yang Li smiled and said, "This is a rising star from our Wenshui County. He's really capable; he organized everything this time."

“His family is from Yongquan Village, which is next to your Ling County.”

"Ah, I know this village. I heard it was notoriously poor, but it's suddenly started to improve this year. Your county even organized a study session on it, right?"

“I saw it in the city newspaper, and the municipal party committee asked our county to go and learn from them, but we haven’t been able to find the time.”

The speaker was Comrade Zhao Gao, the deputy secretary of Ling County.

He shook hands with Chen Yifei: "I am Zhao Gao, and you are Comrade Chen Yifei, right?"

Chen Yifei nodded and greeted him with a smile, "Thank you for your help, Secretary Zhao Gao."

"Hey, buddy, don't call me that, you little rascal."

Although he said that, Zhao Gao was actually laughing very happily!

Okay, that's being humble and polite.

He's a good person, and he's accomplished.

Judging from this, could it be that Wenshui County has actually achieved some results this year?

Zhao Gao was a little unsure, but they were all neighbors, so he couldn't wish them bad luck. As long as they didn't surpass their county, he just had to make sure they didn't fall behind.

They were fourth from the bottom last year, which is still better than Wenshu County.

People remember who came in last place, but they don't remember who came in fourth from last.

More than 80 impoverished counties participated in this investment promotion effort, with more from the southwest region.

So there's still a lot of pressure.

This is equivalent to promoting local industries to big bosses.

Led by the assistance program team, those big bosses are brought to the investment promotion conference. Whether or not a contract is signed depends entirely on their own abilities.

To put it bluntly, it was just a high-level investment-attracting conference.

Everyone experiences pressure, but everyone knows that the pressure is greatest for those who come in last place.

Therefore, a large number of people came to "visit" Chen Yifei's team.

Lai Yongxin was speechless: "Damn it, are they here to comfort us or to laugh at us? Don't they know how to talk?"

"Being last in this position must be really tough, Yifei, can you really handle this?"

Jiang Ping and Zhang Xiao read the newspaper, and then leisurely brewed some coffee they had somehow gotten their hands on: "Don't worry. We'll just follow Yifei."

“I think his thing is novel, and I’m sure it will attract other people.”

"However, Yifei, those videos and brochures you made, are you preparing for an even bigger surprise?"

Lai Yongxin was a little confused: "An unexpected surprise, you can prepare for that too?"

Jiang Ping chuckled: "It seems that Comrade Lai is more suited to overseeing the production line. He has a keen business sense and the air of a shrewd businessman. It's hard to tell. All I can see is his honesty and sincerity."

Lai Yongxin: "..."

He sighed. He was just too stubborn and didn't know how he got messed with; otherwise, he wouldn't have been kicked out.

Chen Yifei smiled and said, "Don't worry, just follow me and you won't go wrong."

He was confident.

While not foolproof, each method has its own unique approach.

Currently, the main industries they engage in in the southwest are manufacturing, agriculture, and animal husbandry. If they come here this time, they can bring many factories over there to produce goods... Perhaps, the county's economy will be boosted.

Of course, state-owned enterprises are definitely not an option.

There are already many private enterprises in Shenzhen, but development there is still a blank.

So it's also a line.

Chen Yifei is sitting here, his mind is constantly on the matter, he's always thinking.

Just then, a man carrying a briefcase appeared. Chen Yifei recognized him immediately by his squinty eyes and large face as Comrade Wu Zhengyi from their city.

They must be from the municipal party committee.

He came over now and looked at Chen Yifei and Zhao Gao with earnest words of advice.

"You can go to Wenshui County and your Ling County. There's someone over there at the back of the bus selling internal sales slots. Give them the money now and sign contracts with a few well-known large companies. I heard they even have companies like White Rabbit."

"Quite a few people have already gone there, you should hurry up and get going too."

Wu Zhengyi is genuinely worried that Wenshui County will be at the bottom of the rankings.

Yang Li stood up, somewhat tempted.

"Really? Comrade Wu Zhengyi?"

Wu Zhengyi was a member of the municipal party committee, but Chen Yifei remembered him as the person who fell from power the fastest. He was greedy for small gains, and whether he was good or bad, he was involved with many shell companies when he was removed from office.

They don't care whether you were deceived due to ignorance or not; it's all related to them anyway.

Wu Zhengyi is also involved in a case in Wenshui County...

Chen Yifei gave him a meaningful look, thinking to himself that he couldn't let the county be ruined by him in this lifetime.

Yang Li was somewhat excited, as it was an order from his superior, and he was about to take Chen Yifei with him.

Upon hearing this, Comrade Zhao Gao was the first to rush towards the direction Wu Zhengyi had indicated, as if he were riding on wheels of fire.

Wu Zhengyi frowned: "Comrade Yang Li, what do you think of this young man? You're the director in charge of investment promotion, making the decision yourself."

Yang Li didn't shy away from the question and said directly, "Our county magistrate said that this time we will mainly follow Comrade Chen Yifei's command."

“He has experience.”

Chen Yifei remained seated as steady as a mountain, looking at Wu Zhengyi and continuing to ask, "Did you buy them?"

"Definitely. We represented the city and purchased cooperation contracts from five companies, which cost about 200,000 yuan. These are all necessary expenses."

"Once we finalize the cooperation, we'll definitely make it back quickly."

"The person you're talking about, the one who connected you two, where is he from? What does he do? What's his background?" Chen Yifei asked, as if checking someone's household registration.

At this moment, Yang Li also sensed it.

I remember that Hong Kong businessman in the county who was almost swindled out of 100,000 yuan. He was almost swindled even when the county magistrate was there.

Is it the same old trick again?

Wu Zhengyi said, "I know he's a Hong Kong businessman, quite impressive. I've actually forgotten his exact name, but he has a powerful network of connections. I heard from other people who signed that he also facilitated quite a few company collaborations last year."

"That's what they specialize in."

Wu Zhengyi became somewhat serious:

"Comrade Chen Yifei, is it that your county is just unwilling to spend money? Even buying one would be good. Every year you lose nothing."

"You guys are really shameless; we all feel incredibly embarrassed."

“What kind of business is it for a young person like you to be in charge of things? Yang Li, you need to make a decision quickly.”

Yang Li sat down completely at this point: "I'm not going. Our county is quite cautious about this."

Chen Yifei also said, "Comrade Wu Zhengyi, we don't know if this is a good or bad thing. You've used the entire city's revenue. What if it all goes down the drain?"

"There are too many Hong Kong businessmen who falsify their identities. You saw how I asked you just now, and you couldn't answer many of the questions. What did you talk about with him? How could you entrust so much money to someone like that?"
