Huo Qizhen said, "I think that as long as it paves the way for economic development, the corresponding policies will be implemented quickly."

His mind raced. Was Boss Yang planning to push for the implementation of this land policy?

Now, apart from Fukushima, other cities are successively using land swaps or sales to promote local economic development.

Land swaps are for companies building factories, while land sales are for investors.

Most importantly, both of these methods not only solve employment issues but also increase fiscal revenue.

Money makes things easier; you need money to build roads, bridges, schools, and so on.

"Xiao Qi, do you have any plans to come back and help me?" Boss Yang asked seriously.

He can't come to Fuzhou often. Now that his business is expanding, he wants to find someone to manage it, preferably a local.

It would be best to have some connections, as that would make things easier in the future.

Huo Qizhen shook his head, "Boss Yang, you think too highly of me."

Running a restaurant is fine, but I have absolutely no experience managing a hotel.

He's forty this year, and his mother keeps urging him to get married.

If he continues to work for Boss Yang, he definitely won't have time to take care of his family.

"Nobody knows it from the start; everyone learns," Mr. Yang continued.

He sipped his tea slowly, not in a hurry for a reply.

Huo Qizhen pursed his lips, still refusing, "Never mind, if there are suitable people, I will keep an eye out for them for you."

Mr. Yang didn't press the issue and changed the subject, moving from the port to aquaculture.

In the end, the two actually discovered they knew each other.

"So you're the biggest customer of Mr. Lin's shrimp paste factory," Huo Qizhen exclaimed.

Mr. Yang's eyes lit up. "Our cooperation is a win-win situation. Those shrimp pastes are very popular in the port city."

Huo Qizhen nodded, a glimmer of light appearing in his eyes as he thought about what he had just done for Lin Ziyan today.

…

Two days later, billboards were hung on both sides of the city's main roads.

They are on every lamppost, and they are a sight to behold.

The left and right sides have different styles, but both have a logo with the words "Hairun Appliances" next to them.

"Manager Wang, I didn't expect the boss to be so trendy, even putting up ads on the main street in front of the building..."

A salesperson at Yihe Electronics suddenly stopped, looked at the name on the billboard, and blinked.

no…

Hairun Electric's advertisements have even reached the entrance of their appliance store?

"What are you looking at? Go and greet the guests." Manager Wang's eyelids twitched, and he casually cursed.

Several people who were gathered together discussing the advertisement immediately moved away upon hearing his words.

Manager Wang glanced at the advertisements on both sides, frowned slightly, but didn't plan to inform the boss yet.

It wasn't until one morning, after all the wholesale customers who came here left after seeing the advertisement, that he truly began to take it seriously.

Not only wholesale customers, but even retail customers hesitate for a while and eventually choose to go to Hairun to compare prices before coming over.

There are direct buses from the city to the port, and they pass by the entrance of Hairun Electrical Appliances City.

The trip wouldn't take long, and Hairun also promised free delivery within the city, allaying customers' concerns.

Manager Wang immediately called Yangcheng and explained the situation.

On the other end of the phone, a barrage of insults followed.

[If you didn't report it this morning or offer any solutions, what am I doing here?]

[...]

Manager Wang knew the boss was angry, so he immediately moved the receiver away.

Who would have thought that Hairun would advertise right in front of their electronics store?

electricity

"Immediately send someone to inquire if there are any streetlights near Hairun that can be used as billboards. They'll do it on the first day of the month, we'll do it on the fifteenth." Chen Yi's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Manager Wang quickly agreed. After hanging up the phone, he felt a cold sweat running down his back, and luckily there was an electric fan blowing in his direction.

He sneezed several times before he recovered.

"Manager, our customers are all attracted by the billboards. Several customers came in and browsed around, saying they would go to Hairun to see everything before deciding whether to buy or not." A salesperson's eyes were practically spitting fire.

It's upsetting for anyone to lose a commission that's almost in their hands.

Manager Wang nodded and decided to go to Hairun Appliances in person.

He was completely dumbfounded after getting off the bus at Hairun Electrical Appliances City.

Not only the main roads on both sides of Hairun Electric Appliances, but also several main roads at intersections, have all been covered with billboards.

Even the construction fences that were sealed off before the project was completed were covered with advertising slogans and billboards.

Long queues formed outside Hairun.

Under the scorching sun, sunshades were set up in the plaza at the entrance...

"Comrade, are you here to buy appliances too?"

The old lady asked with a smile, while carrying a vegetable basket in her hand.

Manager Wang replied calmly, "I just came to take a look..."

The old woman waved her hand, her smile meaningful, "I know, I'm just looking."

After she finished speaking, she gave a sly smile, as if to say, "I know everything."

Manager Wang hurriedly explained, "I really was just looking...looking..."

The old lady ignored him and strode towards the queue.

He thought about it for a moment and followed.

The crowd queuing at the entrance was buzzing with discussion.

"I heard that there are air conditioners available this time, and the price... is very cheap."

"Auntie, you're out of touch. It's not just cheap, it's imported."

"Really? I saw the advertisement in the city and came here, but I don't know the price."

Manager Wang's pupils constricted slightly as he listened to their conversation.

air conditioner?

They also have them in their electronics stores, but they're too expensive and consume too much electricity, so not many people buy them.

The main problem is that the sound is loud and very noisy.
