"I do have some, but I'm afraid they won't be able to do it!"

"What are your thoughts? Tell us!"

"I plan to set up a travel company and have them work as tour guides. At this stage, we will focus on Beijing and a few nearby cities. We will not go to other distant places for the next few years. I don't know if they want to do it."

Moreover, the salary isn't very high, but there are many foreigners visiting Beijing now, and I've heard that they all give tips, so there should be some profit to be made.

The only requirement is that they need to speak a foreign language; otherwise, we can't arrange for them to receive foreigners.

"That's certainly possible, but the pressure is immense! I'll go back to the unit tomorrow and talk to Director Zhao about it. I'll ask him to make the arrangements, and if it's feasible, I'll let you know then."

“Okay, actually I was thinking that when I have my own tourism company, I can also include Miaoshan’s ecological park in the tourist attractions to boost the development of Miaoshan.”

“These are indeed good. But if you do that, won’t you still have to build roads first? Not to mention the road from Miaoshan to the county town, the road from the county town to the city is in terrible condition!”

"yes!"

"After all this talk, you've somehow connected road construction with tourism. Besides, why would someone go on vacation for no reason?"

"That's why I want to bring foreigners to the eco-park. That way, when everyone knows that Miaoshan is a good place, the tourism industry there can develop."

"However, building roads to get rich is not an easy task; at the very least, it requires approval from above."

As for this tourism company? It's been almost ten years since we opened up to the outside world, hasn't it? Many people from Hong Kong and overseas Chinese come to our country either for tourism or investment, so it's easy to talk about!

"You can take them with you! Can you bring them along?"

"It should work! In any case, I need to get the road built first."

"Too."

...

"Chairman Li, you're such a busy person, how come you have time to come to my humble abode today?"

"Director Wu, do you consider this place small? Then can my office even be considered a place?"

"What brings Chairman Li here today?"

“I plan to donate money to repair roads, but the specific section of road to be repaired must be done according to my requirements.”

"Didn't you want to donate money to repair the road?"

"Yes, Director Wu, you heard me correctly!"

"From where to where?"

"From Miaoshan to the city."

"That's quite a long time! Do you have something on your mind now?"

"To be honest, Director Wu, I took a side trip to Guangzhou and saw that the tourism industry there is developing quite well."

The plan is to start developing tourism in Myosan now, thereby boosting the development of the surrounding areas.

"Chairman Li, this is not something I can decide. If it were just about road repair, it wouldn't be a big problem. But since this involves the Tourism Bureau, I can't give you an answer right now."

"It's alright, Director Wu. This is my proposal. Please take a look. To be honest, I've already contacted the others. We're just waiting for you to finish reading it so we can have a meeting to discuss it together. If you agree, funding won't be a problem for me."

"Since that's the case, I'll take a good look. Putting everything else aside, I support you in this road construction project. Besides, you're donating money to build the road, which is doing us a good job."

Furthermore, in 1982, the phrase "To get rich, build roads first" was promoted nationwide and received approval from higher-level leaders.

Furthermore, in 1986, while focusing on economic development, Ya County prioritized road construction, upgrading and expanding 826 kilometers of highways and building 130 kilometers of paved roads. It also organized the construction of the Caoyutan Hydropower Station, which was completed and put into operation ten months ahead of schedule, truly achieving the goal of enriching the local people through the construction of a project.

To be honest with you, Mr. Li, we also want to build roads, but in terms of funding, we are currently focusing on the urban area, and we really don't know what to do about other places.

To be honest, you're a real lifesaver for us! As someone in your current position, you're the first person in our area to take the lead in donating money to repair roads. In the past, it was mostly Hong Kong businessmen and foreign businessmen who donated money to repair roads. You're the only one who has done so.

Don't worry, there won't be any problems. It's just that the approval and planning processes will take some time.

"Director Wu, there's no problem. I'll bring the construction team and the funds as soon as the approval is granted. I'll arrange everything in advance so as not to delay your other work."

"That's good, that's good. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to arrange the personnel."

...

"Have you heard? The Shen family's daughter-in-law donated money to repair the road."

"We've heard about Aunt Liu's situation before, and we heard that construction officially started yesterday."

"Aunt Fang, you're telling me, this daughter-in-law of the Shen family brought so much money!"

"Aunt Liu, look at what you're saying. Don't you even know how many factories they own? Not to mention anything else, just look at how much money that roasted nuts factory makes every year."

"No, it's her Aunt Fang. I mean, she brought the money to build up the roasted nuts and seeds factory. It used to be a roasted nuts and seeds shop, but now it's a factory. And now she's even paying for road repairs. How much money did that cost!"

"You don't know this, do you? Aunt Liu, let me tell you! This daughter-in-law of the Shen family may have grown up without parents, but her parents gave her a family business."

Putting everything else aside, the compensation and subsidies her parents received when they sacrificed their lives were quite substantial. Besides, she was their only child, and back then, her parents held high positions. If I'm not saying much, they must have received at least 300 yuan a month!

"How much money could a little girl like her possibly spend? Isn't it all hers anyway? I heard from her mother-in-law that when her daughter-in-law started her own business and factories, she didn't use a single penny of the Shen family's money like I have. She used the family fortune left to her by her parents!"

"I have to say, Aunt Fang really didn't expect this daughter-in-law of the Shen family to be so capable. She makes money no matter what business she does."

"Look at what you're saying! Aunt Liu, have you forgotten that the Shen family's daughter-in-law majored in economics in college? If she doesn't make money, who will?"

"That's true."

...

"Everyone, hurry up and get to work. Logically speaking, since they're paying us to build this road, we shouldn't have to ask for money. But they're still paying us laborers. We can't cheat or shirk our responsibilities, you hear me!"

“Village chief, we know what you’re saying. This road passes through our area, and we’re the ones who will benefit. We can’t fool ourselves, let alone anyone else!”

"That's right, Village Chief, Wang Ermazi is right!"

"Little Li! This road has been repaired, which will benefit tens of thousands of people!"

"Mr. Zhang, you're exaggerating. I was just doing it for my own convenience!"

“Xiao Li, you can’t say that. Take now, for example. Although Zhang Xiu has built a road that leads directly to Miaoshan, when the road is officially open to traffic, the people in the surrounding area will not only have more convenient travel, but they can also do some small business in their own neighborhoods. It will bring them more than just convenience; it will encourage them to explore.”
