68: Go to the provincial capital to attend the investment promotion conference

A few days flashed by. On this morning, not long after work started, two cars pulled up one after the other in front of the Office building.

Jiang Yufei and Cao Shuang were already waiting by the cars. Hu Yulin was standing to the side with a staff member, and the group chatted while they waited.

"Director Hu, I have already had someone create the color-painted promotional posters and placed them in the trunk.

The frames and stands needed for support will have to be made once we reach the Provincial Level.

I will give you the dimensions for these frames and stands in a moment, and these tasks will have to be left to you to complete."

"Rest assured, Committee Member Jiang, I will definitely complete this task well and absolutely will not delay things.

Secretary asked me to bring Liu along to provide logistical support for the leaders, and I will certainly not let down Secretary's trust."

Hu Yulin said quickly.

Just then, Lin Zifeng and Wei Ting walked down the stairs side by side, with Wang Zhongyu following behind them.

As the group gathered, Wei Ting first reached out her hand to Lin Zifeng. Shaking hands, Wei Ting smiled and said, "Secretary, I wish you and the Comrades immediate success. I will wait at home for the good news."

"Thank you for the Town Chief's well wishes. Everything at home is left to you."

Wei Ting nodded with a smile, "Please rest assured, Secretary, I will watch over the home."

Afterwards, she shook hands and said goodbye to everyone else one by one. As everyone prepared to get into the cars, Jiang Yufei said with a smile, "I will ride in Secretary's car. Town Chief Cao, why don't you show some spirit and take the Santana behind us!"

"Ladies first; I certainly have that much chivalry."

Cao Shuang said with a loud laugh.

Liu Ju from the Office drove the second car, Hu Yulin sat in the passenger seat, and Cao Shuang sat in the back.

The group of seven drove away from the compound in the two vehicles, heading towards the county town.

They needed to get on the Expressway at the Expressway Exit a few kilometers near the county town to take the Expressway to the Provincial Capital.

The investment promotion conference held in the Provincial Capital will start promptly at nine o'clock the day after tomorrow.

The reason they had to set off two days in advance was to do some preparatory work.

Lin Zifeng also wanted to see if he could find some opportunities before the investment promotion conference began.

He was very clear in his heart that many invited manufacturers could not possibly arrive in the capital of Southeast Province only on the day of the event; it was possible they would arrive a day or two early.

If they could find the hotels where these manufacturers were staying, they could try to make contact with these Investors in advance.

More than an hour later, the two cars got on the Expressway one after the other and sped towards the Provincial Capital.

"Secretary, although we have the approval documents from the county and are qualified to enter the investment promotion conference venue,

compared to other units, Heping Town simply has no comparability. The organizers won't even give us a booth. How are we supposed to promote Heping Town when the time comes?"

Jiang Yufei asked, voicing the worry in her heart.

"As the saying goes, 'The car will find its way to the mountain pass, and the boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge.' It won't be too late to act according to the situation once we arrive at the venue.

If they don't give us a booth, does that mean we have no way to display and promote Heping Town ourselves?

A small space will be enough for us."

Lin Zifeng said very optimistically.

"Secretary, you are always an optimist. It seems like nothing is a problem for you. Working with you, I never feel any pressure."

"Haha, as they say, mindset determines everything. Even if some things cannot be solved, if we make things difficult for ourselves, besides making our own mood worse, what effect can it have?

Don't complicate simple things. Regardless of any problem we face, just do our best and make every effort to complete it.

As for what the result will be, that is something we cannot control."

He said with a loud laugh.

"Secretary's mindset is still the best; you see things so clearly!"

The two of them talked along the way. By the time it was nearly one o'clock in the afternoon, Li Qiang drove the car off the Expressway.

The Expressway Exit was less than ten kilometers away from the city center. They stopped in front of a snack bar, the group got out of the car, and everyone ate a bowl of noodles to settle lunch.

After walking out of the snack bar, Hu Yulin quickly stepped forward to ask for instructions: "Secretary, I checked on the way, and there are several high-end hotels in the city center that might become the landing spots for those Investors.

Should we stay at these hotels?"

"Director Hu, we might be staying in the Provincial Capital for nearly a week this time. If we stay in high-end hotels, the expenses will not be small!

It would be better to find a decent inn near these high-end hotels!

In this way, we can use the money we saved to improve our meal standards!"

He did not flatly reject Hu Yulin's proposal, but instead stated his reasons.

"Secretary is right. In those high-end hotels, the accommodation cost for one room per day is several hundred yuan, and eating there is also outrageously expensive.

Inns are different; a room costs at most one hundred or eighty yuan. Even if everyone stays in their own room, it is still much cheaper than a high-end hotel."

Cao Shuang said in strong agreement.

"Then I will follow the arrangements of the two leaders. We will find a suitable inn when we get near that area."

Hu Yulin quickly agreed.

The group got back into the cars, and the two vehicles drove towards the city area one after the other.

They found a fairly decent, very clean, and tidy inn to stay at.

They booked five rooms in total. Lin Zifeng, Cao Shuang, and Jiang Yufei each had their own room.

Hu Yulin and Liu Ju shared a room, and Wang Zhongyu and Li Qiang shared a room.

Everyone tidied up a little and then, according to the previous agreement, gathered in Lin Zifeng's room.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lin Zifeng began to make arrangements.

"Director Hu, you and Liu go order the frames and stands. Li Qiang, drive Committee Member Jiang to the venue of the investment promotion conference to familiarize yourselves with the route first.

Zhongyu, bring some of the brochures we printed and join me and Town Chief Cao. We will go around to a few nearby high-end hotels to see which hotel those Investors who arrived early are staying at."

Everyone agreed and began to take action.

A few minutes later, Lin Zifeng and Cao Shuang walked out of the inn, with Wang Zhongyu following behind the two of them.

"Secretary, for those powerful Investors invited by the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, there will be specially designated hotels for reception, and their meals and lodging will be arranged by the Development and Reform Commission throughout.

It's a pity we don't have any close friends at the Provincial Level! Otherwise, if we knew the inside information, we would know which hotel these Investors are staying at.

Now we can only go to them one by one, and we will have to observe carefully to know which hotel the Provincial Development and Reform Commission has designated as the reception location this time."

Cao Shuang said, shaking his head helplessly as he walked forward.
