Chapter 628: My Speech

I stood up at this moment,

I haven't had this feeling for a long time.

Speaking in front of a large crowd, it should not be speaking before a large crowd,

It is speaking in front of the leaders.

I first cleared my throat,

Then I tried to speak in a calm tone, saying: "Respected Zhuang Shi, Tian Shi, Ji Zong, and other leaders, good afternoon, thank you Tian Shi for arranging this speech."

I will try to briefly share some of my thoughts,

This morning Secretary Qin specifically told me to give the speech,

For this I also prepared some materials, namely the development trend of our tourism industry in recent years."

After I finished speaking, I took out a few printed sheets and handed them to these people,

Let these people take a look at my statistics.

After a moment, I said again: "Have you seen that in recent years our country's tourism growth momentum is very strong.

You can see from the news that tourist spots are packed during holidays, and highways are jammed.

Also the feeling of being there when you travel. It's really crowded.

That's ordinary people traveling; everyone wants to go out and see.

The outside world is big, the outside world is also very rich and

What everyone likes most to see are some natural landscapes, as well as historic and cultural famous cities.

Actually, besides long-distance tours, some short-distance tours are also very good options.

Especially suitable for short holidays, such as Saturdays and Sundays,

One-day round-trip travel projects. They don't interfere with work.

Now the car ownership rate is very high.

Many people like self-driving tours.

Everyone probably understands. I won't repeat it.

What I am saying today is my idea,

That is how to develop Zaocheng's tourism industry and improve Zaocheng's tourism image.

To build Zaocheng into Huaihai City's backyard garden.

Just now Tian Shi said, we Zaocheng and Huaihai are brother cities,

Huaihai is Zaocheng's older brother, whether in size or height it is stronger than Zaocheng.

Zaocheng needs to learn a lot from Huaihai.

How can we bask in the older brother's glory,

Want to rely on this big tree of Huaihai City.

Today I also want to specially thank Zhuang Shi for giving me a nagging time.

"First, let's give applause to Zhuang Shi." I took the lead in applauding Zhuang Shi.

Everyone happily applauded.

I then continued: "Zaocheng is also a historic and cultural famous city, it's just not developed yet.

A few days ago I passed through Xue County,

I happened to hear that Xue County's Ancient Xue Kingdom was the fief of the ancient Four Lords Meng Changjun. Meng Changjun is also a historical figure.

Many famous stories happened here, such as Mao Sui's self-recommendation, the three burrows of the cunning rabbit, etc.

Also the ancestor of cart-making, Xi Zhong, is from Xue County. This is of course only a historical figure from Xue County.

Lanling County, Teng County, and Yi County also have many; I won't list them all.

If you have time, you can search online.

These historical figures, too few people know them, showing our publicity is insufficient.

We should do something about this.

Why do I mention Xue County?

Because it's very close to Huaihai City, separated only by Shanghu Lake.

That's why we want to make Huaihai City's backyard garden, because it's nearby.

If we build a port in Xue County,

Huaihai City and Xue County would be directly connected.

If we build a direct road between Xue County and Zaocheng, Huaihai and Zaocheng would be more closely linked, and we wouldn't need to detour via the highway.

With convenient transportation, people can come and go freely.

Then we can attract Huaihai people to come to Zaocheng for tourism and consumption,

To explore a new growth model for Zaocheng's development.

Of course, saying this, Zhuang Shi is unhappy, you've attracted all my people, giving Huaihai City no benefit at all. This isn't good, right?"

After I finished speaking, I glanced at Zhuang Shi,

Zhuang Shi politely smiled.

"Zhuang Shi, I want to tell you, we will become Huaihai City's backyard garden, we will develop the tourism projects, we will handle the infrastructure construction,

we will bear the risks.

you only need to come travel and relax.

Let Huaihai people live happier and healthier, isn't that good?

Moreover, it saves Huaihai City a lot of land costs, Huaihai City doesn't need to build any urban parks.

You should know that the land price in Huaihai City is many times higher than that in Zaocheng.

How much land is needed to build a park,

As long as the back garden is built, that's enough.

The land in Huaihai City proper can be developed for other projects, such as real estate, industrial parks, tech cities, and so on.

I need not say how many times it will appreciate or how much value it will bring to Huaihai.

Cooperation is inherently mutually beneficial. Our development of tourism is to alleviate Huaihai City's land‑use pressure.

Zhuang Shi, I haven't said anything wrong, have I?

After Zhuang Shi heard me finish, he smiled and clapped.

Everyone else also clapped along.

"So what should we see in Xue County? That's the key. We can't have people only look at a segment of wall left by the Ancient Xue Kingdom.

What meaning does that have?

We should make the tourism projects more detailed.

Building an Ancient City now is already a new development project.

Everyone can think about it. In places like Kaifeng, Xi'an and others, some tourist cities are constructing new Ancient Cities.

We should build an Ancient City in Xue County,

so that visitors to Xue County can eat, drink, enjoy themselves, and linger on their round trips.

Besides the Ancient City, Zaocheng also has special natural scenery.

For example, in the Beishan mountain area, there is Hama Spring, One Line Sky, and so on. If Zhuang Shi has time, you can visit them; I am willing to accompany you all the way.

I want to say that these tourist spots are no less than those famous mountains; they just haven't been developed yet.

They have been sleeping all along.

Waiting for our generation to develop them.

Besides coal, Zaocheng also has excellent historical and cultural heritage.

It also has beautiful natural scenery.

The above are just some of my personal thoughts, quite immature.

Any shortcomings, I ask the leaders to be lenient.

I believe that as long as Huaihai and Zaocheng are linked together, our development will be faster and better. Thank you all.

After I finished speaking, I bowed in respect.

Tian Shi, after hearing me finish, led the applause.

When everyone's applause subsided,

Tian Shi said happily, "Jianqiang just mentioned a head, which is like opening a point."

We have many things to do in Zaocheng.

Zhuang Shi, Jianqiang just said that Zaocheng must make a good back garden for Huaihai,

which is beneficial to you, beneficial to us, a win‑win situation.

Zhuang Shi, I advise you to stay an extra day in Zaocheng and visit the places Jianqiang mentioned."

At this moment Zhuang Shi felt embarrassed,

he stood up,

"Mr. Zhao's remarks just now moved me,

Sometimes we view issues too narrowly; why can't we look at the broader picture? Although Huaihai and Zaocheng are two cities, we are close in distance.

Therefore we should get closer to each other; only mutual cooperation can yield a win‑win.

Huaihai is a heavy‑industry city,

I don't want to say more about the problems of a heavy‑industry city.

We need a back garden so that Huaihai City has a place for rest and recreation.

Since Tian Shi invited me, I will stay one more day and take a good look at Zaocheng."

The continuous applause from everyone marked the end of the meeting.

After the meeting, since in the afternoon they were to follow Chief Ji to inspect the key coal mine,

I didn't want to take part.

Tian Shi has already arranged for me to handle tomorrow's plan for Zhuang Shi to go to Beishan to see the natural scenery.

At this moment Chief Ji came over,

He said to me, "Zhao Zong, after we finish these tasks, we need to have a proper talk. You agree, right? I also have some ideas."

I said happily, "Yes. I very much look forward to meeting Chief Ji."
