With two police cars leading the way and one police car bringing up the rear, accompanied by six or seven other vehicles, the scene was sure to cause a stir in Xihu City. Vehicles along the way quickly moved aside to make way for everyone.

Fang Yang, noticing the curious stares of passersby along the way, smiled and said to Ouyang Ming, "Aren't you afraid of causing a bad reaction by being so ostentatious?"

Ouyang Ming laughed and said, "You don't understand. This is nothing. Tomorrow, there will be a TV station's interview vehicle accompanying us. Your investment of 500 billion yuan will cause a stir throughout Jiangnan. We need this kind of publicity to attract investment from all directions. It's a great thing for the government and the citizens."

Fang Yang gave a thumbs up, "You're awesome!"

As the convoy entered the World Trade Center, Hotel General Manager Hu Zhongmin and his team were already waiting at the main entrance. Upon seeing the group arrive, he hurriedly greeted them, saying, "Secretary Ouyang, Mayor Zhou, welcome to the World Trade Center Hotel for guidance!"

When Fang Yang got out of the car, he even saw that huge banners and balloons had been hung at the hotel entrance:

A warm welcome to Secretary Ouyang Ming of the Municipal Government for visiting and guiding our work at the hotel!

A warm welcome to Mayor Chou Hung-kuang of the Municipal Government for visiting the hotel and providing guidance!

A warm welcome to Mr. Fang Yang, Chairman of Yuewen Entertainment Media Group, for his guidance!

Congratulations to Yuewen Entertainment Media Group on successfully establishing its investment base in Xihu City!

Looking at the banners, Fang Yang couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Secretary Ouyang, you've done this work really fast! It hasn't even been an hour in total, has it?"

Ouyang Ming laughed and said, "Government work is not easy. This was all budgeted several days in advance. Luckily you booked this hotel, otherwise we would have had to find a room for you!"

Seeing Fang Yang's confusion, Ouyang Ming explained, "As this is a government investment promotion project, we are responsible for your food and accommodation. However, because you did not hand over the arrangements to us before you arrived, we were put in a passive position. Fortunately, you called me before you arrived, so my office director came over temporarily to make arrangements. Although it was rushed, it was still relatively orderly."

Fang Yang said embarrassedly, "It's not that serious. I just came to take a look. If I'm satisfied with the land, I'll sign the contract. I didn't think that far ahead."

As Ouyang Ming led Fang Yang into the hotel, he said, "Government affairs are never trivial. This is a matter of attitude, and it also provides citizens with a channel to express their concern for government affairs. Once your company's major project is introduced, even the provincial governor will attend the meeting, and leaders from relevant central departments will also attend the signing ceremony!"

Fang Yang gasped: "So grand?"

Ouyang Ming laughed and said, "Do you think our municipal government can decide on such a large piece of land just by making a snap decision? And it doesn't even need to be auctioned off. It has to be done through investment promotion. A project worth 500 billion yuan is reported to the province. Even in Jiangnan Province, we haven't had such a large project for many years. This matter also needs to be filed with the relevant central ministries and obtain special funds to support it. Just wait and see!"

Fang Yang was stunned. Such a good thing? We have to make a big fuss about it!

A large hall of over 200 square meters was where Ouyang Ming hosted Fang Yang's banquet. Looking at the hall with five tables, luxurious carpets, professional and exquisite decorations, and green plants, what else could one say but admire its class?

Ouyang Ming invited Fang Yang to sit in the head seat, but Fang Yang quickly shook his head. This was not a private gathering, but a government reception, which concerned the city government's reputation. Fang Yang felt that he did not have the face to let Ouyang Ming and Zhou Hongguang sit at the end of the table!

Finally, the guests and hosts were seated according to their status. Ouyang Ming took the seat of honor, followed by Zhou Hongguang. The two office directors and leaders of various departments accompanied him. Fang Yang was accompanied by Fang Yang, Zhou Kai, Liu Fang, and Ma Wenhua. The other people were arranged to sit in other seats.

As soon as we sat down, the hotel staff started bringing the dishes to the table: West Lake Vinegar Fish, Dongpo Pork, Zhiwei Xiaolongbao, Longjing Shrimp, Song Sao Fish Soup, Pian'erchuan Noodles, Cat Ear Noodles, West Lake Water Shield Soup, Shrimp and Eel Noodles, West Lake Braised Duck... and so on.

Looking at the table laden with dishes, Fang Yang exclaimed, "These are all time-honored famous dishes!" "Secretary Ouyang, are you trying to make me want to stay forever?"

Ouyang Ming laughed and said, "To be honest, I've been here for more than ten days now, and I still want to eat more than I can eat. It's just that my stomach feels so full, and I don't get much exercise every day, but I use my brain too much. It's making me feel a bit uncomfortable!"

Fang Yang chuckled and, seeing the waiter filling everyone's glasses with baijiu, quickly reached out and said, "Secretary Ouyang, let's get this straight: drink in moderation, don't overdo it. I have a lot of things to discuss this afternoon, so let's prioritize the important matters."

Ouyang Ming waved his hand, "We won't force you to drink even if you don't say anything. There's a no-alcohol policy in place right now. Unless we're entertaining you, we're not allowed to drink at noon. Two drinks per person, and no one is allowed to drink too much. Take a break at noon, and we'll discuss matters in the hotel conference room this afternoon."

Fang Yang breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, anyone would feel uneasy looking at the hall full of people accompanying him!

After Ouyang Ming's words, the people in the hall became much more civilized when drinking. There were toasts, but everyone only took a small sip. Although the atmosphere wasn't very lively, Fang Yang and his group truly enjoyed the delicious food on the table, eating with gusto and great satisfaction.

I took a nap at noon and woke up at 2:30. After washing up briefly, Zhou Kai knocked on the door and came in. "Xiao Yang, do you have any plans that need to be changed for this investment promotion?"

Fang Yang thought for a moment, "Since it has attracted so much attention from Xihu City, the land price must not be very high. We need to plan ahead for this. If we can acquire a larger area, that would be even better, and we can plan more things in the future."

"Hmm, that should be possible. If the space is too narrow, there are indeed many areas that cannot be planned. For example, the children's theme park, according to the original plan, is a bit small. If the space is doubled, we can add more things to make it more playable."

Fang Yang nodded, "We can also include those in our future film shooting locations. Building those large-scale ID scenes takes a lot of time and money, but we can maintain them by selling tickets regularly. That would be a huge expense."

"Yes, you've thought this through. Now there's still one more issue: how should the hospital be set up? If it only serves our company and the children's playground, then setting up a community hospital will suffice. It can handle simple emergencies, and for more complex cases, we'll send the patient to a larger hospital!"

Fang Yang nodded. "How many kilometers away is there a hospital?"

"That place is located about 50 kilometers outside of Xihu City and about 30 kilometers from the university town. To be honest, without a decent hospital, it would be really difficult if something urgent happened!"

"The best solution would be to jointly operate the hospital, which would be able to handle some acute illnesses. Ideally, an emergency center should be set up to serve emergency patients in the surrounding area."

"Yes, patients with chronic illnesses can be hospitalized in the city, and an emergency center would be ideal!"

"Let's discuss it like this. We can cover the costs, but they'll have to resolve the qualification issue," Fang Yang said, frowning. With medical insurance in place, everything else would be easier to discuss.
