270: People are in high spirits when they have good news

Hearing Lin Zifeng's inquiry, Cao Shuang hurriedly said, "Secretary, I'm calling you to report some good news in advance.

Through the joint efforts of the Comrades and myself, just now, we signed a letter of intent for an investment of five hundred million. This is only the initial investment amount; if the project requires more once it's underway, the investor will increase their contribution.

The other party is very sincere. If all goes well, this investment will land in our Yushu County."

"Oh? Such a great harvest? I originally wanted you and the Comrades to go with a learning mindset, to study the various measures and initiatives for public convenience in Xiangxi Province, and attend the Trade-Fair Venue while you were at it.

I didn't expect such a big surprise. Quick, tell me, what kind of project is it? An initial investment of five hundred million?"

Lin Zifeng said very happily.

"Secretary, it's like this: the investor is a listed logistics company worth tens of billions, the Jinghua Logistics and Trade Group Company.

After our introduction, they took an interest in our county's geographical location and business environment. They decided to invest in a Logistics Industrial Park in our county that integrates warehousing, transportation, distribution, and information processing.

Their future business will cover several southeastern provinces and even the entire country.

If this Logistics Industrial Park lands in our Yushu County, it will not only increase our county's fiscal tax revenue in the future but also provide a large number of jobs. The benefits are simply endless, Secretary."

Cao Shuang stated the facts concisely, making Lin Zifeng feel elated.

"Good, very good! A Logistics Industrial Park of this scale will not only provide many jobs for our local people but also drive the surrounding economic development and enhance our county's influence in the future. It's truly killing multiple birds with one stone!

Old Cao, you and the Comrades brought this investment back. From now on, you will be fully responsible for this project. If you need any support, the County Mayor and I will support you without hesitation.

I'll credit you and the Comrades with the top honors. When you return, the County Mayor and I will personally host a welcome dinner for you all.

In a moment, report to the County Mayor personally, so that County Mayor Minghao and the other Leadership Team Members can share in the joy."

Lin Zifeng said loudly and happily.

"Understood, Secretary. I will implement your instructions immediately. When we return the day after tomorrow, I will give you a more detailed report."

Lin Zifeng hung up the phone and stood up happily. While watering several potted plants with a spray bottle, he couldn't help but hum a song.

"Gardenia Blossoms, it's the season, we will leave, hard to part with you, shy girl!"

Just as he was in an exceptionally pleasant mood, there were two knocks on the door, and then the Office door was opened.

Wang Zhongyu led Wei Ting inside, one after the other.

Wang Zhongyu worked by Lin Zifeng's side every day and knew that Wei Ting and the others had a deep relationship with him. When there were no others reporting work in his Office, he could bring people directly into the Office without announcing them in advance.

So, as soon as the two entered the room, they heard the end of Lin Zifeng's singing.

Wei Ting said with a smile, "Secretary, what has made you so happy? I hope I didn't interrupt your mood?"

Wang Zhongyu stepped forward and took the spray bottle from his hand. "Secretary, Secretary Wei has something to discuss with you."

Lin Zifeng nodded slightly to Wang Zhongyu and said with a smile as he picked up a towel to wipe his hands, "As the saying goes, good news brings high spirits; I just couldn't help myself! Let's sit over here and talk!"

After saying this, he pointed to the sofa and walked over himself.

After the two sat down one after another, Wang Zhongyu quickly poured a cup of tea for Wei Ting and then left the Office.

"What happy event has the Secretary encountered? Can you share your joy?"

Wei Ting said with a curious look.

"Of course, no problem." Then, Lin Zifeng recounted the situation Cao Shuang had just reported.

Finally, he added, "The initial five hundred million investment isn't enough to make me this happy; it's the development prospects of this project that I'm optimistic about.

In many developed coastal cities, such Logistics Industrial Parks have only recently emerged. In the future, Logistics Industrial Parks like this, which integrate warehousing, transportation, and distribution, will be a necessity and a trend for the people's daily lives.

Our Yushu County's ability to attract such an emerging industry now, with such promising development prospects, means it can completely become another economic pillar for our county in the future.

Hearing such good news, how could I not be in a pleasant mood?"

Hearing Lin Zifeng's account, Wei Ting's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "This truly is wonderful news. No wonder you are so happy, Secretary.

If this Logistics Industrial Park lands in our Yushu County, it will bring an immeasurable boost to all aspects of our county's development.

Not only will it provide a large number of jobs, but it will also give rise to many auxiliary economic industries. I didn't expect County Mayor Cao and the others to bring back such a big surprise. It's truly worth celebrating!"

"As the saying goes, 'Without a sycamore tree, one cannot attract a golden phoenix.' This is also thanks to the significant improvements in our county's business environment and various administrative measures over the past few years.

This further strengthens our determination to vigorously improve infrastructure. I was just discussing this plan with the County Mayor!

The arrival of the investment from Jinghua Logistics and Trade Group Company is the perfect time for us to push forward with infrastructure construction.

Only when our soft and hard power continues to grow can the sycamore tree of Yushu County attract more phoenixes."

Next, Lin Zifeng took the opportunity to explain to Wei Ting the proposal he had just discussed with Xu Minghao.

Finally, he added, "With so many projects starting at once, the amount of capital needed is massive. Once this proposal passes the County Party Standing Committee meeting next Monday, we will have to tighten our belts for a while.

Moreover, our Leadership Team Members will have to show their capabilities by going to the provincial and municipal departments to seek funding and support policies. We'll have to lean on those we can and plead poverty where we must.

As the saying goes, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. For the future development of our Yushu County, we must all spare no effort.

We won't use bank loans until the last step. I know that no matter how hard we try, it's impossible to cover such a large funding gap without bank loans, but we must keep the loan amount to a minimum.

Only in this way can we pay off the loans as quickly as possible without affecting other future developments."

Hearing Lin Zifeng's explanation, Wei Ting said with a face full of smiles, "I fully support the plan of the Secretary and the County Mayor.

If we have to tighten our belts, then so be it. This is for the overall situation of the county's future development!

And with our county's fiscal revenue situation, we can close this gap in less than two years. If this proposal is completed, its influence on our Yushu County will be far-reaching.

It will affect the development direction of our county for the next ten or even dozens of years. It's of extraordinary significance. Having such a large infrastructure project completed under our current leadership team will be a lifelong honor for every member.

I believe all County Party Standing Committee Members will support this proposal."
