Chapter 77: Worth an Army of Thousands!

Tang Ye's gaze turned toward Zhou Chengwu from time to time.

The Municipal Party Secretary's expression was tense at first, but as Du Chengfeng's presentation hit its stride, it slowly began to relax.

The Municipal Party Secretary's work was busy, and it was impossible for him to attend to every detail personally.

However, Zhou Chengwu had meticulously reviewed all the materials for this City Investment Promotion Conference over and over again.

Regarding the materials for Tianling County, he had reviewed them with even greater focus, sending them back multiple times and demanding perfection.

He had not expected that, inside the venue, Du Chengfeng would bring out the surprise of a sand table on the spot.

He had originally thought that the 3D animation Tang Ye made would be enough to make everyone's eyes light up.

Now, with the addition of the exquisite sand table, reality and virtuality complemented each other, making the presentation even more high-end!

Zhao Disheng, sitting to the side and behind Zhou Chengwu, did not hide the joy on his face.

He was the "chief planner" and "chief director" of the conference!

The presentation from Tianling County had invisibly raised the standard of the meeting to a very high level.

He had participated in large-scale project promotion events at the national level; the Tianling presentation model was unprecedented at provincial-level meetings, and as for using it at a city-level City Investment Promotion Conference, it was a dimensionality-reducing strike.

Zhao Disheng recalled that time he went to research Pinghu, when Jiang Jinpeng had said, both proudly and regretfully, that Tang Ye was the student he admired most.

At this moment, he finally understood the true value of those words.

If one were to compare investment promotion to a battlefield, Tang Ye alone was worth an army of thousands!

All the cameras in the conference hall were focused on the stage.

The sound of camera shutters was incessant.

Du Chengfeng discovered he was surrounded by camera flashes.

His expression was calm, and the speech he knew by heart flowed out with ease.

He felt his state was excellent because he held a good hand and was sufficiently confident.

While Du Chengfeng was speaking.

Tang Ye kept his fists clenched tight.

He was more worried than anyone else that Du Chengfeng's speech would have errors.

However, Du Chengfeng performed very steadily, displaying everything prepared beforehand without reservation.

"Respected leaders, respected entrepreneurs! Pinghu possesses a long history and culture; it is the pearl of Hanzhou. After years of silence, it is now radiating new vitality.

On behalf of the twenty thousand people of Pinghu, I sincerely invite you all to draw a stroke on this map full of potential.

With the boost from the Provincial State-owned Assets Investment project, I believe Pinghu will embark on a path of high-speed development.

Pinghu's goal is to strike for the first hundred-billion-yuan township in the country. Although it seems out of reach now, with the guidance of a dream, we have the motivation and even more confidence to complete this great undertaking.

My presentation ends here.

Thank you all!"

Amidst enthusiastic applause, Du Chengfeng held his head high and walked off the stage.

Tang Ye and Xiao Jin exchanged a look, then immediately applauded Du Chengfeng vigorously.

Jiao Deyi was also applauding, but his mouth was full of bitterness.

A few days ago, he had argued with Tang Ye over competing for the presentation qualification.

Now, comparing his own Food City Project with the Health and Wellness Town Project, they were not even on the same level.

Du Chengfeng's reply back then had already given him enough face.

Jiao Deyi gradually digested his emotions until he suddenly felt enlightened.

Losing to Pinghu was nothing to be ashamed of.

Standing on the platform of the City Investment Promotion Conference, he was also a part of Tianling County, and he felt a sense of shared honor.

"I didn't expect Tianling County to make such a big move with this project presentation; they were the last to take the stage and completely outshone all the other counties and districts."

"Did they hire a professional advertising company? That 3D animation is very high-end. This kind of animation effect is priced by the second; a three-minute animation must cost at least several million, right?"

"They probably didn't hire an advertising company. Given Du Chengfeng's personality, he wouldn't allow funds to be wasted on this."

"How can you call it a waste? The effect is too good. The eyes of those chamber of commerce representatives are glued to it."

Although Tang Ye did not have the qualifications to walk onto the stage, his heart was surging with emotion at this moment.

5A-level professional PPT, visualized 3D architectural animation, a physical sand table with an extremely high degree of restoration...

The work that condensed his sweat and wisdom had been modified countless times, and he had long since become numb to it.

Especially the 3D architectural visualization, which was something Tang Ye had spent a great deal of energy to complete.

Tang Ye had not used the software 3dsMax much before and was not very proficient, so the details were not handled perfectly.

But placed in this setting, even if it was only ninety percent of his full ability, it already had a soul-stirring effect.

Tang Ye's mindset in preparing these presentation materials was completely different from when he was on Jiang Jinpeng's team.

Before, it was to satisfy the needs of the client.

Now, it was as a member of the government, striving for funds for local development and striving for more welfare for the common people.

This unprecedented pride and achievement were hard to measure with money.

Most importantly, from here on out, he could turn his ideas into reality step by step!

Some were happy, and some were sad.

The corner of the mouth of Peng Guoyue from Jinshui County curled into a look of disdain.

A hundred-billion-level township—Du Chengfeng actually dared to say such a thing!

Tianling County's annual GDP was only a little over fourteen billion!

However, one had to admit that the materials Du Chengfeng prepared were too novel and advanced; when did he get these means?

In order not to fall behind in future competition, Peng Guoyue made up his mind that he must find the reason, and he picked up his phone to send a message to his Secretary, Xiao Wang.

"Find a way; you must find out which advertising company is behind Pinghu."

"Understood, I will go handle it immediately."

The meeting concluded.

Xiao Jin stood in a quiet corner smoking when his shoulder suddenly sank; he turned his head to look and saw it was actually the Secretary of Peng Guoyue.

Secretary Wang graduated the same year as him, and the two had similar promotion paths; both worked in the General Affairs Office before being assigned as liaison officers for leaders.

Secretary Wang handed over a cigarette, "The promotional materials for your county this time were very well prepared and very well hidden; I tried to probe earlier, but you kept your mouth shut!"

Secretary Jin took the cigarette and said with a smile, "The most important rule for being a secretary is that your mouth must be tight. If you can't even control this mouth, what leader would dare keep you by their side?"

Secretary Wang shamelessly offered a light, "By the way, which company made your promotional materials today? Of course, if it's inconvenient for you to say, then forget it."

Secretary Jin was stunned for a moment, then immediately lit his cigarette and laughed, "Actually, it's not a secret, and I'm not afraid of you learning it. All the promotional materials were prepared by Tang Ye, the Deputy Town Mayor of Pinghu Town. Ordinary companies couldn't produce these things."

Secretary Wang was dumbfounded, "Produced by a Deputy Town Mayor?"

Secretary Jin thought to himself that the other party's reaction was within expectations, "He is a Seconded Official sent down from the Municipal Party Committee. When he was in graduate school, he participated in many National Level Project applications and has very strong practical capabilities."

Secretary Wang slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing, "Was the Aiou Electric project introduced by him?"

Secretary Jin nodded and said, "That's right, it was him!"

Secretary Wang stroked his chin and said sourly, "Aren't Seconded Officials all just here to get gilded? He really just got lucky."

To actually call it luck??

Was he saying Tianling had good luck?

Or was he saying Tang Ye had good luck?

Secretary Jin didn't hesitate and laughed proudly, "Yeah, we really struck gold!"
