Mai Hangyu made a phone call, chatted for a bit, and then happily said, "Brother An, Mayor Xi hasn't left yet."
"I told Director Chen you were here."
"Mayor Xi overheard this and asked if you were free, saying he wanted to meet you."
Wu An said, "Whether I have time or not, I have to go and meet them."
"Hurry up."
"Don't drive your motorcycle so loudly, it makes you look like a street thug."
Mai Hangyu responded, and since there happened to be an empty three-wheeled vehicle, the two of them took Li Xin straight to the village committee.
We arrived at the village committee office in Zhenzhong Village.
Wu An knocked on the door.
Director Chen came to open the door.
Wu An spoke first: "Director Chen, I'm sorry I'm late, I've kept you waiting."
Director Chen shook his head and welcomed him in.
There was no one else in the room except for a square-faced man, who was clearly the leader in charge.
Director Chen introduced them to each other.
This time, Wu An didn't rush to speak.
Xi Lianghong extended his hand and said, "I've heard many people praise you, and now that I see you, you are indeed a promising young talent."
Wu An also extended his hand and said, "Thank you for the compliment, leader."
Xi Lianghong waved his hand: "Sit down and let's talk. I'd like to hear about your homestay project."
Wu An looked at Director Chen.
Director Chen said, "I only introduced some basic information."
Wu An nodded and said, "I went to university and went abroad, so I know what it's like outside. Now that I'm back in my hometown, I've always wanted to do something."
"First, I became a fisherman, and I was lucky enough to make a fortune."
"I invested my first pot of gold in a bed and breakfast."
"Boss, Director Chen, we're both locals. When I say that we have beautiful mountains, sea, and scenery here, I'm not bragging, am I?"
Xi Lianghong and Director Chen nodded in deep agreement.
Wu An continued, “I think tourism will be a hot trend in the future. Our scenery, old houses, and even this alley with hundreds of years of history are all highlights. By chance, I learned that someone in the village wanted to sell an old house. Then, we cooperated further with the village and started the current homestay project.”
Xi Lianghong looked at Wu An seriously for a while before saying, "So, the project's funding all came from your own earnings?"
Wu An nodded and said, "I provided the initial funding. Later, I met some business owners in our town who were very optimistic about the business and also invested some money."
"Actually, I'm not short of money."
"To be honest, boss, I'm making quite a bit of money fishing at sea. In just a few months, I've already secured a fishing boat that's about ten meters long, and there's a twenty-six-meter fishing boat in the shipyard that should be launched next month."
"As the saying goes, a hero needs three helpers. Even with money, I can't necessarily succeed on my own. With their help, this project can develop better."
"What do you say, sir?"
Xi Lianghong nodded and said with emotion, "That's right. It's rare to have such thoughts at such a young age."
Director Chen nodded vigorously and said, "Mayor, I admire this young man, A'an."
"He's quick-witted, hardworking, and good at handling things. I always said it's a good thing he didn't go to a big city to develop his career, otherwise, our town would have suffered a huge loss."
At the beginning.
He didn't think highly of Wu An.
Other village officials shared the same idea; frankly, they wanted to take advantage of the situation, repair the village roads, and then reap some benefits while waiting to see what would happen.
result.
As we worked on it, the project looked like it was about to be completed.
Not only were they surprised, but it also attracted the special attention of the town leaders. Mayor Xi visited the village several times to see the project and promised to come to him if there were any difficulties.
After listening to Director Chen's words, Xi Lianghong nodded in deep agreement: "It's a good thing that young people are willing to return to their hometowns to build and develop them. We should give them our full support."
"Actually, I came to you because I wanted to hear your complaints and see if there was anything I could do to help."
"May I hear you finish?"
“You have no shortage of money or manpower. Director Chen has also repeatedly assured me that the village will support the project. I don’t even have the opportunity to get involved.”
After saying that, he laughed heartily.
Wu An smiled along, picked up his teacup and took a sip. He didn't take the opportunity to say anything, but instead made a request to exchange contact information with the leader, saying that if anything happened or he had any new ideas, he would report to the leader and ask for guidance.
Xi Lianghong was very pleased and immediately exchanged contact information.
Next, Wu An took the initiative to suggest that Mai Hangyu and Li Xin give a proper introduction to the homestay project. Xi Lianghong was surprised: "You're really not holding back at all, kid."
Wu An said, "Although I am just a commoner, I am still aware of my responsibilities."
Xi Lianghong praised him highly: "Do a good job, set an example, and lead others to prosperity."
Wu An remained composed and neither arrogant nor humble, ensuring that the leader's words did not fall into place.
Mai Hangyu and Li Xin also answered some questions from a professional perspective, and everyone had a very pleasant conversation.
Half an hour later, Wu An and Director Chen saw Xi Lianghong off.
Not long after.
Wu An also left.
On the road.
Mai Hangyu asked, "Brother, we've been talking for so long, isn't there any real benefit?"
Wu An smiled and said, "No, that's not the case."
Mai Hangyu was annoyed, muttering that he had wasted so much breath. Before he could even stop the car, Wu An's phone rang. It was Xi Lianghong calling.
Wu An made the car stop.
The call was connected.
"lead."
“Ah An, I feel like you have something to say but haven’t said it yet at the village committee.”
"Yes, there are some things that are not easy to say in the village committee. Please forgive me, leader. I did not mean to hide anything."
"Then let's get straight to the point and have a chat over the phone."
"I'm glad the leader doesn't mind my talkativeness." Wu An coughed and said seriously, "Leader, I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me. The homestay is just my initial plan. To put it bluntly, it's just a trial run. Actually, I want to do something bigger. Homestays, beachcombing, and tourist attractions—we want to get them all up and running here."
Xi Lianghong on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment before saying, "Go on."
Wu An said, "I told Director Chen this, but Director Chen told me directly that what I said wouldn't work in the town's villages."
The leader was not surprised and said, "If you really want to do this and make it happen, you basically have to transform the entire village. There are too many things involved. Not to mention the village, even the town would have a hard time making a decision."
"Furthermore, to succeed, it requires the concerted efforts of an entire village. In the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, there are many village-run or privately-run enterprises that are doing very well and are quite large. We can emulate that model."
Upon hearing this, Wu An nodded in deep agreement.
This is exactly what he was thinking.
He could tell that this leader was insightful and had foresight, which was why he paid special attention to the homestay project.
He said, "Boss, you're right."
“It is indeed difficult to operate in a village within a town, after all, I am not a villager.”
"I plan to try it in Xiaoxi Village in the future."
Xi Lianghong's eyes flashed: "Xiaoxi Village... Wu Yingwei, that's you..."
Wu An said, "It's my dad."
Xi Lianghong suddenly realized: "Oh, I see..."
