Ke Zhifang can also be considered knowledgeable. However, he heard about a magical object like the wine sea for the first time. He sighed, "The world is big, and there are all kinds of wonders! Good wine, good wine!"

Yu Ruizhi picked up the wine glass and said, "Come, Uncle Ke, I toast you a glass!"

Ke Zhifang drank this glass with him, and then said to Su Xinghui, "Little Mayor Su, I have heard some stories about you from Brother Yan'an, knowing that you are very capable. But I didn't expect you to be so capable! You are so young and already have such skills."

Su Xinghui gave a humble smile, "Governor Ke is too kind."

Ke Zhifang said half-jokingly, "You are so capable, why don't you transfer to our Yuedong? Then I will have one more great general under my command!"

Su Xinghui quickly said, "Governor Ke, thank you very much for your appreciation, but I hope to work in my hometown for a few more years and build my hometown better."

Yu Ruizhi said, "Uncle Ke, Xinghui already has a girlfriend in Hudong, who is the daughter of Vice Governor Lu. Therefore, I am afraid he cannot accept your kindness."

Ke Zhifang nodded, "Oh, that is the son-in-law of Comrade Zhenghong. Comrade Zhenghong has vision. With such a son-in-law, what more can one ask for?"

Su Xinghui picked up the wine glass and said, "Governor Ke, I toast you a glass. I'll finish it, you drink as you please!"

Ke Zhifang smiled and said, "Such good wine, I must finish it too, otherwise it would be too much of a loss!"

After finishing, he drank this glass of wine with Su Xinghui. His words also made everyone laugh.

After three rounds of wine, Ke Zhifang said, "Little Su, I heard from Ruizhi that you came to Yuedong this time for investment promotion?"

Su Xinghui nodded, "Yes, the economy here in Yuedong is developed, and there are many bosses. If we want to hold investment promotion activities, we can only come here."

Ke Zhifang said, "Yes, not only your town, local governments from all over the country come to Yuedong for investment promotion every year, I don't know how many. However, most of the cadres who come for investment promotion are using the guise of investment promotion to come here for sightseeing. Which kind are you?"

Ke Zhifang's words were very direct, which also showed that he did not treat Yu Ruizhi, Su Xinghui, and the others as outsiders.

And his words were also correct. Most of the cadres who came to Yuedong Province for investment promotion came here for sightseeing. Public-funded tourism, why not do it? It's still okay now. A few years later, the economy developed, and many cadres even went to foreign countries for inspection and investment promotion, dragging their families along, and the travel expenses of the whole family were reimbursed.

Su Xinghui said, "Of course I am not here for sightseeing. I hope to truly recruit a few investors back. The economy of our Shangjun County is not considered developed. Although the economic growth rate in the past two years is not bad, it is too far behind compared to the developed coastal areas. We are in too much need of foreign investment there."

Ke Zhifang nodded with a look of appreciation, "Okay, you are much stronger than those cadres. Since that's the case, then I will help you with this favor. You are going to Pengcheng tomorrow, right?"

Su Xinghui said, "Yes, I will go to Pengcheng early tomorrow morning."

Ke Zhifang said, "I have already called a deputy director of the Pengcheng Investment Promotion Office, saying that you are my younger generation and are going to Pengcheng to hold an investment promotion activity, asking him to help you. After you go, contact him, and he will help you. At least in terms of arranging the venue and dealing with investors, he is more experienced than you."

Su Xinghui was overjoyed and said, "Governor Ke, then thank you so much. I will toast you another glass!"

Ke Zhifang smiled and drank this glass with him, and then sighed, "Speaking of which, there are many local governments coming to Yuedong Province for investment promotion, but this is the first time I have seen a town-level unit like yours."

Su Xinghui said with some embarrassment, "Governor Ke, let you laugh!"

Ke Zhifang shook his head, "In fact, this is a good thing. As long as investment promotion is effective, why care about the administrative level? Speaking of which, the town economy in many places in our Yuedong Province has developed very well. The cadres there have very strong subjective initiative and indeed have places worth learning from for inland cadres."

The town economy in Yuedong Province has indeed developed well. Here, often the GDP of a town is higher than the GDP of a strong economic county in the inland. In the most developed towns in Yuedong Province, the GDP is even higher than that of a city in the inland. Such a gap is how huge.

Su Xinghui said, "Yes, the gap between the inland and the coast is too big. In fact, the main gap is not natural conditions, but the concept and consciousness of the cadres. The gap is too far. If there is a chance, I want to organize the cadres in our town and even our county to come to Yuedong Province for inspection and learning."

Ke Zhifang nodded with great interest, "You have a good idea. If you really want to organize this kind of activity, I will definitely fully support it."

Su Xinghui nodded, "Okay, then after I go back, I will report to our county, and then contact you."

Ke Zhifang said, "Okay, I'll wait for your news."

An hour later, Ke Zhifang's secretary came to pick him up. He still had to attend a foreign affairs activity and receive foreign businessmen. Therefore, he said goodbye to the few.

After Ke Zhifang left, Su Xinghui said to Yu Ruizhi, "Brother Yu, thank you. Now I have a lot more confidence."

Yu Ruizhi said, "Don't be polite with me. Okay, then let's set off tomorrow morning and go to Pengcheng."

Pengcheng Economic Special Zone, Su Xinghui had been here in his previous life, but that was for tourism in the new century. Besides that, he really hadn't been to Pengcheng.

This time arriving in Pengcheng, the difference from the Pengcheng he saw in his previous life was relatively large. After all, there was a time difference of more than ten years. Ten years of development, the changes were very big.

The current Pengcheng was not as prosperous as the Pengcheng in his previous life's impression, but compared to Jiangcheng, it was still much more prosperous.

This is also helpless. Jiangcheng lagged too far behind other big cities of the same era in the country in terms of urban construction. Because history is too long, many old urban areas are dirty, messy, and poor, and there are many factories. These are all burdens left by history. Wanting to solve them is not a one-day work, the cost is also too big, and the leadership teams of the previous few terms indeed had some deficiencies in governing ability. Lagging behind is also inevitable.

Pengcheng is an economic special zone, an emerging big city. In urban planning, it is equivalent to painting on a blank sheet of paper, so it can indulge in painting the most beautiful scroll. Plus, it has the best policies in the country, and countless investments are pouring here. Naturally, it is stronger than Jiangcheng in urban construction.
