Chapter 579
Yu Ruizhi said, "Director Xiang, everything said in this report is naturally true. In fact, the real situation in Meng Hu Ling is even better than what is said in the report. If you don't believe it, you can see it for yourself tomorrow."
Su Xinghui said, "The speed of Meng Hu Ling's development is quite fast, and some infrastructure is being perfected. In a year or two, this infrastructure will reach a considerable level. As for supporting facilities, they are nothing more than hotels, inns, and restaurants, which are also becoming more numerous now. And with the economic development here, these supporting facilities will only increase."
Yu Ruizhi said, "Director Xiang, do you know how long Township Head Su has been in Meng Hu Ling?"
Xiang Tianlu asked, "How long?"
Yu Ruizhi said, "He only graduated from university last year and came to work in Meng Hu Ling in July. Before he came, Meng Hu Ling had nothing; it was the most remote and poorest township in Shangjun County. But in this year or so, it was entirely through his efforts that Meng Hu Ling has its current development, including that highway, which was built through his efforts."
Xiang Tianlu was shocked. These achievements mentioned in the newspaper were actually made by this young man before him in just over a year. This was simply unbelievable.
As they were talking, Dong Jianshu appeared at the door and asked, "Little Su, what's this? You have guests in the evening?"
Su Xinghui said, "Secretary Dong, this is Director Yu, whom you met last time. This is Director Xiang, a friend of Director Yu. They have an interest in investing in Meng Hu Ling."
When Yu Ruizhi came to Meng Hu Ling last time, he had chatted with Dong Jianshu, and the two got along quite well. He naturally recognized Yu Ruizhi. He stepped forward with a smile, gripped Yu Ruizhi's hand, and said, "Hello, Director Yu."
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Dong Jianshu reached out his hand to Xiang Tianlu and said, "Hello, Director Xiang!"
Su Xinghui had already introduced Dong Jianshu's identity to Xiang Tianlu, so Xiang Tianlu shook hands with Dong Jianshu and said, "Hello, Secretary Dong!"
Su Xinghui brewed another cup of tea for Dong Jianshu, had him sit down, and Dong Jianshu asked with a smile, "What project are Director Yu and Director Xiang planning to invest in here?"
Yu Ruizhi said, "Township Head Su suggested that we develop the tourism industry in Meng Hu Ling. I also feel that the scenery in Meng Hu Ling is good, so I am considering his suggestion."
"Tourism industry?" Dong Jianshu pondered. He did not know much about the tourism industry. Since that was the case, he would not show his ignorance. He nodded and said, "Township Head Su has his own unique vision for economic development. His suggestion must be very reasonable; you should give it serious consideration."
Yu Ruizhi said, "Director Xiang only arrived today. We plan to start tomorrow to take a good look at the scenery here in Meng Hu Ling and the surrounding townships, and then decide whether to develop tourism here."
"Is that so?" Dong Jianshu looked at Su Xinghui and said, "Little Su, then you accompany Director Yu and Director Xiang starting tomorrow. I will arrange for others to do your other work."
Su Xinghui nodded and agreed.
Starting the next day, Su Xinghui accompanied the siblings Yu Ruizhi and Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu, along with Xiang Tianlu, to run around Meng Hu Ling for two more days. The beautiful scenery and construction achievements of Meng Hu Ling shocked Xiang Tianlu. In his view, the construction of Meng Hu Ling was now no worse than many rural areas in Yuedong Province, and its development potential was even much greater.
Xiang Tianlu grew up in the countryside, so he could naturally see that Meng Hu Ling must have been a poor and remote place in the past. This could be seen from the dilapidated houses in the villages of Meng Hu Ling. But Meng Hu Ling was now full of vitality, and all of this could not have happened for long.
This meant that what Yu Ruizhi said was true: Su Xinghui had made these achievements in just over a year. What kind of young man was this?
Xiang Tianlu had originally suspected that Su Xinghui had some relationship with the Yu family, which was why he received the Yu family's care and achieved these results under their care. However, after he asked Yu Ruizhi and Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu in a roundabout way, he learned that Su Xinghui was originally a young man with no background at all, and Yu Ruizhi and Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu had only known him for two or three months. This shocked him even more.
This meant that this young man had achieved all of this entirely through his own talent and ability, and had gained the recognition of Yu Ruizhi and Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu. This was simply too rare.
Xiang Tianlu himself was also from a farming background, and it was only after years of hard work relying on his drive and talent that he had everything he had today. The almost shared experience gave him a strong sense of identification with Su Xinghui, and he regarded Su Xinghui as a soulmate.
After touring Meng Hu Ling for two days, Su Xinghui took them to play in Green Ridge Township for a day, and then took them to tour several townships in Red Shanxian that bordered Shangjun County. The scenery in these townships was also quite good, not a bit worse than Meng Hu Ling and Green Ridge Township.
Xiang Tianlu did have some questions. He asked Su Xinghui, if those townships in Red Shanxian were to be developed, how should the coordination work be done? Although Su Xinghui was capable, he couldn't manage Red Shanxian, right?
Su Xinghui knew that it was normal for Xiang Tianlu to have such questions. He was going to put up real money to invest. It was easy to talk about Meng Hu Ling and Green Ridge, as Su Xinghui's influence could fully radiate there, but Su Xinghui couldn't manage Red Shanxian. If something went wrong there, he was afraid Su Xinghui wouldn't be able to help him resolve it.
Su Xinghui said to Xiang Tianlu, "Director Xiang, you can rest assured about this. You can first develop the scenic areas in Meng Hu Ling Township and Green Ridge Township. I think if you develop too many scenic areas at once, the investment will be too large. You don't need to worry about the problems in Red Shanxian. Now the province is advocating for the whole province to learn the 'Meng Hu Ling Model,' and the city is also very supportive of our work. If there are any problems, you can ask the city to help resolve them."
