Chapter 1870

Subsequently, Su Xinghui helped Lu Xiaoya start the arduous road to recovery. He took care of Lu Xiaoya meticulously, accompanied her to exercise every day, accompanied her for walks, supervised her to eat according to the recipe written by Director Chen, and accompanied her to the hospital for a check-up once a week.

However, this recovery process was not as simple as imagined. Although Lu Xiaoya's recipe was adjusted, she couldn't diet within one or two months postpartum. As long as the child was still breastfeeding, her appetite needed to be very large, otherwise her body couldn't take it.

And now she was still in the "month," so it was impossible to do any strenuous exercise, not even running, only gymnastics and walking. Such exercise couldn't consume much heat, so her weight didn't drop even a pound after a few days.

After exercising for a few days without seeing any effect, Lu Xiaoya felt a bit discouraged. Plus she had to get up several times at night to feed the child, and she was sleep-deprived, so she was a bit unwilling to get up in the morning. Su Xinghui called her up with great patience, saying that as long as she persisted, she would definitely see results.

Su Xinghui's patience and long-term companionship made Lu Xiaoya persist. Although there was no effect for the time being, Su Xinghui also firmly believed that this was only temporary.

Su Xinghui's own work hadn't fallen behind. He worked hard during the day, and Changshan County's economic development momentum hadn't diminished.

This day, An Dachang called Su Xinghui again and met with Xu Zhigang, vice president of Jiangshang Group.

Jiangshang Group is a giant in the retail industry in Jiangcheng. After the reform of state-owned enterprises in the 1980s, it became a joint-stock enterprise. Over the past decade or so, they had developed very rapidly, and they already had several shopping malls and dozens of supermarkets in Jiangcheng.

Now, they were expanding throughout the province, and they had invested in large supermarkets or shopping malls in various cities and prefectures throughout the province. This time, Xu Zhigang came to Changshan to discuss investment in supermarkets and shopping malls.

In fact, Jiangshang Group generally only invests in supermarkets or shopping malls in regions or cities, and rarely invests in counties, because the consumption capacity in counties is not enough now, and it is too early to invest in counties, and the return on investment is not enough.

However, there are exceptions. For example, in Shangjun County, they invested in building a ten-story shopping mall, and also built a large supermarket in Chengguan Town and Pengjiawan Town in Shangjun County, with a business area of more than 1,000 square meters.

Xu Zhigang's visit this time was also an affirmation of Changshan County's economic development. Changshan County's economic development speed was very rapid, and it was the central city of the emerging Tianyueshan Mountain Economic Cooperation Zone. The commercial potential here was very large, and Jiangshang Group naturally wouldn't ignore this treasure land.

Su Xinghui and An Dachang met with Xu Zhigang in a small meeting room.

Su Xinghui also attached great importance to this meeting. In his conception, Changshan County wouldn't develop too much industry, especially heavy industry, which he wouldn't develop. Changshan County would at most develop some light industry, focusing on the development of the tertiary industry centered on tourism.

To develop the tertiary industry, hotels and catering are very important, and the retail industry is equally important. At this time, this was a weakness of Changshan County. Changshan County only had some state-owned shops, supply and marketing cooperatives, and other commercial facilities before. Since Su Xinghui came for more than a year, the shops opened by private individuals had increased, but there wasn't a single large supermarket or shopping mall.

Su Xinghui naturally knew the name of Jiangshang Group. In his previous life, it was the largest retail enterprise in Hudong Province and belonged to a retail giant. If it weren't for the many things at home during this time, Su Xinghui might have come to the door. Now that Xu Zhigang came to the door, Su Xinghui was very happy.

This investment promotion work was originally managed by An Dachang, but Jiangshang Group's name was too big, and An Dachang was a bit nervous, afraid that he couldn't entertain them, so he called Su Xinghui.

The three sat down as guests and hosts. Su Xinghui smiled, "President Xu, welcome, welcome!"

Xu Zhigang smiled, "Magistrate Su, I've heard of your name for a long time!"

Su Xinghui said, "President Xu has heard of my name? Where did you hear it?"

Xu Zhigang said, "Once at a meeting in the city, I heard President Shao mention you. He said you are a very excellent cadre. He said that Changshan County is developing very fast now. If our Jiangshang Group wants to expand, Changshan County is a place not to be missed, so I came to your Changshan County this time."

President Shao naturally refers to Shao Dejin, chairman of Jiangcheng Meat Union. Hearing that it was him who told Xu Zhigang, Su Xinghui nodded in relief, "So it was President Shao who said it. He praised me too much, but President Shao has a huge investment of several hundred million here, and it has been in production for a long time."

Xu Zhigang nodded, "Yes, when I came, I specifically stopped in your Matou Town and looked at the slaughter base of Jiangcheng Meat Union. It is indeed very prosperous!"

Su Xinghui exchanged pleasantries with Xu Zhigang, and they became much more familiar. He asked straight to the point, "President Xu came to Changshan this time, is it for the investment of your Jiangshang Group here?"

Xu Zhigang nodded, "Yes, our Jiangshang Group now has an expansion plan in the whole province. I heard President Shao speak highly of your Changshan County, saying that your Changshan County is a good place to invest in supermarkets and shopping malls, so I wanted to come and see."

Su Xinghui said, "Then President Xu, you came to the right place. Changshan County's economic development can be said to be changing with each passing day, but the commercial enterprises here are relatively lagging behind. This is a big market. If you invest in supermarkets and shopping malls here, the prospects will definitely be very good."

Xu Zhigang said, "Anyway, I heard President Shao say so. I still believe what President Shao said. However, I still have to take a good look at your place before I can decide."

Su Xinghui nodded, "This is of course. Before investing, you must look at the local investment environment. Then let's take you to the County Committee guesthouse to stay first, and then take you to see the county town in the afternoon, how about it?"

Xu Zhigang raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "The time is still early, let's go around now."

Su Xinghui and An Dachang took Xu Zhigang around Changshan County town. He was very confident in the current Changshan County town. Changshan County town was becoming more and more prosperous, and hotels, catering, and so on were all very developed, but only lacked large supermarkets and shopping malls, and it was already difficult to meet the needs of citizens in terms of commerce.

Especially in the new district, the people who work and live in the new district are mainly administrative staff, as well as management personnel of some introduced enterprises. There are no large commercial and supermarket facilities here, which is really a huge blank.

This blank, at this time, is a huge advantage to attract Jiangshang Group. If Jiangshang Group invests in Changshan now, it can smoothly occupy the largest market share here.

Su Xinghui and An Dachang accompanied Xu Zhigang. In fact, they didn't say too much. They knew that saying too much was not as good as what others saw with their own eyes. They only answered when Xu Zhigang asked any questions.

Xu Zhigang had also been engaged in the management of the retail industry for more than twenty years. He had a very vicious eye for where it was suitable to open a supermarket and where it was suitable to open a shopping mall.

Before he came to Changshan County, he didn't have much expectation. In his mind, even if Shao Dejin recommended it with all his might, Changshan was a county town after all, how prosperous could it be? But after turning around in Changshan County, he became more and more shocked. This Changshan County was not worse than Yulin City.

Jiangshang Group invested in a shopping mall in Yulin City, and there were three supermarkets, all of which were responsible by Xu Zhigang. He was responsible for the commercial development of the southern part of Hudong Province, and he was very familiar with Yulin City.
