the next day.
Gu Anran rested at the hotel, while Wu An arrived at the Municipal Party Committee early in the morning to attend a symposium.
Wu An was quite nervous, after all, he was going to speak on stage.
As a result, the symposium had a set agenda and lasted for a long time, mostly consisting of listening to others or leaders speak.
After the meeting ended, the leader surnamed Chen, who was presiding over the meeting, asked him to stay.
The two arrived at the office.
Leader Chen invited him to sit down first, and even poured him a cup of tea himself, saying, "At such a young age, what you've done is astonishing even to an old man like me."
Wu An stood up, accepted the tea, and said some humble words.
After chatting for a few minutes, Wu An said, "Boss, did you call me over with some instructions?"
Leader Chen smiled and said, "I just wanted to let you know."
"Our city has done some research and believes that you have a very good chance of being selected as an outstanding youth in the province."
"However, the chances of being selected as a National Outstanding Youth Representative are probably slim."
Upon hearing this, Wu An was quite surprised: "We've already arrived at the provincial capital?"
He was well aware of the prestige of the title of Outstanding Youth Representative when he initially wanted it; originally, he only aspired to be the County Outstanding Youth Representative.
Unexpectedly, he went straight to the provincial level.
This honor is quite significant, and he's somewhat worried that it might overshadow him.
Leader Chen said, "You've really made the city look good."
"You may have to come back a few more times."
"You still have a good chance of winning some honors at the county and city levels."
Upon hearing this, Wu An's eyes flickered.
The leader's words were quite thought-provoking.
At this time.
Someone knocked on the door. Wu An looked up and recognized the man. It was Wang, the secretary of the high-ranking leader who had come to inspect the village before. They had even exchanged contact information.
"Director Chen, General Manager Wu, the meeting in Liushi just ended. Please go to his office."
Wu An followed.
Upon arriving at Liu Shi's office, Director Chen entered and greeted him, "President Liu, Mr. Wu is here."
As before, President Liu was very approachable and quite enthusiastic, saying, "If it weren't for a meeting I couldn't cancel, I would have liked to personally host this meeting."
"By the way, are you a Party member?"
"Yes, I joined the Party in my senior year of high school, and I'm still paying my Party dues."
"Alright, Comrade Wu An, since you're a Party member, I'll get straight to the point. You previously said you'd do as much as you're capable of. With sufficient support, how do you plan to contribute to your hometown?"
Upon hearing this, Wu An put down his teacup and said, "Sir, then I'll just say this: our area is a coastal region where we rely on the sea for our livelihood, and the development prospects are very good."
“Aquaculture is relatively mature, but it’s not enough. We can cooperate with some universities and research institutes to develop deep-sea aquaculture and expand its scale.”
"Secondly, seafood processing is still very weak. We can set up enterprises to achieve a complete chain from aquaculture, processing and sales."
"Most importantly, we have mountains, rivers, and the sea, as well as unique cultural customs, making it the perfect place to develop cultural tourism."
"The homestay I'm currently running, as well as the tourist town I'm developing in deep cooperation with the town's villages, are bold attempts at cultural tourism development."
"According to my vision, the tourist town will focus on commercial development, with food, drinks and entertainment as its main focus."
"In the future, I plan to develop tourism projects around the sea in Xiaoxi Village, such as water sports, surfing, diving, and even building a marine park."
Wu An spoke eloquently.
In fact, he had thought about these ideas countless times in his mind.
But you have to eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time.
There are many things he can only think about right now.
But since the leader has already asked, he has nothing to worry about and will just say what he needs to say. At worst, he'll be considered to be bragging.
After listening, General Manager Liu and Director Chen exchanged a glance, and the former said with a smile, "I heard from Director Zhang that you are currently fishing at sea and making quite a bit of money."
Wu An nodded: "Thank you for your concern, leader. It's good."
"Please rest assured, sir, I will pay every single penny of the taxes due."
Mr. Liu smiled and said, "You've invested all the money you've earned into the homestay project?"
Wu An said, "More or less."
"To be honest, I could have run the homestay project on my own, but I still found partners so that we could share the risks and make money together."
"I will also have more energy and money to do other things."
Wu An did not hide anything from such a high-ranking leader.
President Liu was quite satisfied. Wu An's vision, ability, and sense of social responsibility were all impeccable, especially the latter, which was what President Liu valued most.
He asked, "Having discussed so many development directions, which path do you intend to take?"
Wu An countered, "Can't they all leave?"
Mr. Liu smiled and asked, "You have no foundation in aquaculture and running businesses. How will you achieve a leapfrog development?"
"The main focus should be on developing cultural tourism."
"Especially the Ocean Park you mentioned."
"Let me be frank with you. The city can give you the greatest possible support in terms of land, loans, tax subsidies and reductions, talent introduction, and other resources."
Wu An's face lit up with joy.
I was thrilled.
Wow, to receive the honor of being an outstanding youth representative, the city is also giving away such a big gift package for growth?
He felt a little dizzy.
I was overwhelmed by such a huge surprise.
He stood up and said, "Sir, I will be able to submit my paper within three years."
Just copy it.
The answers to how to answer the questions have already been written by great figures of later generations, allowing him to avoid detours and ensure accuracy.
President Liu asked him to sit down and said, "Good, it's a good thing to have determination."
"However, the city is providing assistance and allocating resources to you, but you still need to build this platform yourself."
Wu An nodded.
This is similar to raising chickens. First, you need to have chicks so that the city can send you the best feed and the best technical personnel to support you and help you get the chickens to market smoothly.
so.
He has to find a way to attract investment himself.
On his own, it would probably be impossible to succeed in one or two years. After all, to create a project that the city would value, the investment would be no less than nine figures.
Even the initial startup requires a minimum investment of eight figures.
At present.
He's too weak to rely on himself.
He still had to set his sights on Liang Rong, a young master from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Xiao Cang, a local young master. If he was a little hesitant before, now that he had the support of the city leaders, why should he be cowardly?
As we chatted, it became lunchtime.
Wu An was about to get up and leave, but President Liu insisted that he stay. Wu An used Gu Anran as an excuse, and as a result, Gu Anran was also invited.
The young couple had lunch at the Municipal Party Committee, accompanied by several leaders including General Manager Liu.
After eating.
Wu An and Gu Anran hurried home.
As soon as he got home, Leader Xi called, saying that the county leaders were holding an awards ceremony for him. Originally, the ceremony was to be held in the town, but the county leaders insisted on coming to join in the fun.
Wu An agreed.
As the saying goes, "a local official is more powerful than a distant one." Whether it's in a town or a county, it's important to maintain good relationships. Otherwise, if someone secretly sabotages you, it will be very difficult to get along with.
