Chapter 2401

Speaking of tactics, Liu Zhizhong's ways of wining and dining are truly ruthless, haha!

But of course, they're also remarkably effective.

This day, including what he lost at the mahjong table, he spent a total of over half a million.

This money was well spent; it certainly worked wonders for winning hearts.

For future work, not only does it reduce a lot of resistance, but it also provides substantial support, which is essential.

In the end, every leader involved was totally in line with Liu Zhizhong, and the relationships felt very close indeed!

In the upcoming Linxi Town, basically, it's the time where Liu Zhizhong calls the shots, possessing significant influence.

Although Yang Ze Ping, such a secretary, is the most influential figure in town—after all, he is the secretary, overseeing everything—still!

Facing Liu Zhizhong's strong networking offensive, he fell too, thinking that with two years left till retirement, what else is there to worry about?

Why not leave more opportunities for young folks, let them shine, and if there's ever a chance, he could still support the Yang Family Members!

Moreover, if within two years before retirement, he helps Liu Zhizhong complete the Changling Expressway, well... maybe Yang Ze Ping could find himself a vice-chair at the district's political consultative conference or a vice-director at the district's people's congress, still playing his part for two more years, retiring justly with a deputy division level—that would be enjoyable.

After all, many have spent a lifetime in towns and may not retire at the deputy division level!

Once you're at the district's congress or consultative conference at a deputy level, with the leadership rank clearly as deputy division level, retiring with a main division grade benefit—isn't that delightful? Haha...

Anyway, that day, Yang Ze Ping ate well, played well, and won over a hundred thousand at mahjong. Especially at night, the Lanyue Clubhouse brought in a tender model from the city, letting him truly relish his elderly life, he even took a pill and fought intensely for a while, haha...

Alas, Liu Zhizhong... such a decent man, suppressed and exiled to this extent, he doesn't care about integrity anymore; he's directly getting tough.

He knows it's not right, but only by doing this can he establish a foothold in this place and crazily carve out a vast territory.

Moreover, bringing a huge turning point to his career is essential.

A wealthy mayor with achievements, can you even say he won't make it? If he can't ascend, the whole world will mock the Southeast!

Don't forget, Liu Zhizhong is a web celebrity official at least, the power of the internet—it can create a sensation in minutes, haha...

The next day, while all leaders were still nestled in tender arms, sleeping with beauties till broad daylight in the luxurious suites of Lanyue Clubhouse, Liu Zhizhong, invigorated, began his rural and village journey with Wu Ming accompanying him.

Who would have thought, Liu Zhizhong said he would go to the village, and he meant it!

Wu Ming, being single, also had quite a night at the Lanyue Clubhouse, so he was feeling quite spirited!

Is there any need to question his loyalty to Mayor Liu?

Yesterday, despite losing a lot in mahjong, Liu Zhizhong did manage to score at times, rewarding Wu Ming, who was serving tea and water, with tips called "oil," with which Wu Ming earned tens of thousands, haha...

The Mayor treated me so well, who else would I serve if not him?

Following such a mayor, if there's no future, who has one?

On the countryside road, Wu Ming served as the guide throughout, with Liu Zhizhong driving, traversing village paths, household by household, getting firsthand information, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

In the ensuing nearly month-long journey during the summer heat, Liu Zhizhong persisted with his village visits.

Of course, Linxi Town has tall mountains and dense forests, with quite high altitude, making it pretty cool in summer. In terms of temperature, Liu Zhizhong and company didn't suffer.

Though they got a bit tanned, which is normal.

Upon reaching villages, they didn't bother the village committee with eating, drinking, or lodging; Liu Zhizhong's car was equipped with camping tools, solving everything.

And during this month, the town wasn't idle either, under the leadership of Secretary Yang Ze Ping and Executive Vice Mayor Luo Maosheng, truly committed to the preliminary work of the expressway project!

The main issue was along the route with land requisition, one leader after another went out to earnestly implement it.

Nearby towns like Wangjiang, Zishui, and Changle, also utilizing their relationships, formally or privately, conducted visits, coordinating communications with the secretaries and mayors of those towns, striving to push the expressway project forward.

And Liu Zhizhong, already well-known, the other three towns' leaders certainly heard of him, and are quite intrigued. Yet for them to cooperate, some expression is required.

That expression isn't hard for Liu Zhizhong and Yang Ze Ping.

And just as Liu Zhizhong concluded his grassroots inspections of Linxi Town's countryside, having compiled a report of nearly three hundred thousand words, the report was distributed to all town's party members and cadre.

The report was exceptionally brilliant.

It not only summarized the realities of each village and community below Linxi Town, but also presented future development plans, meticulously and feasibly!

In this report, Liu Zhizhong proposed a fast route plan and introduced a vision for four cascade hydropower stations on Zhangjia Creek, aiming for integrated development of electricity, angling, and cultural tourism.

Simultaneously, Liu Zhizhong highlighted that Linxi Town has too many mountains, and traditional agriculture no longer meets economic development needs. Farming, year-round, only solves basic food needs, relying more on young people going out to work—how does that work?

Hence, Liu Zhizhong proposed an unimaginably ambitious rural economic revitalization plan: whole-town integration, creating High Mountain Grassland livestock industry, merging with cultural tourism.

Simply put, connecting the villages across town to create a town-level High Mountain Grassland tourism and livestock ranch, implementing intensive ranching to establish a livestock leading industry; one side green production and processing of dairy and meat, the other enabling tourism in grasslands, developing sales as well.

The entire economic plan, Liu Zhizhong estimated, would attract investments in the billions.

Oh my...

This means, just within the half year Liu Zhizhong assumed office, as long as the project approvals are in place, Linxi's GDP would explode, directly elevating to a billion-dollar powerhouse. Isn't that thrilling?

Anyway, the report and plan directly shocked Yang Ze Ping and the others, dropping their jaws...
