Chapter 207: I’m Here

Xu Jinhe smiled bitterly. On New Year’s Eve, the developers who supported the development of the city east area protested to the higher-ups, thinking that the plan proposed by Xu Jinhe and the professors had no precedent and could not guarantee profits. If they carried out the development in the city west area as planned, the cost would be very high once implemented, far exceeding the cost of developing the city east area.

The risk of such a development was too high, and most investors vetoed it. That forced the government to temporarily stop the development plan of the city west area and required Professor Xu Jinhe to prove that the development plan of the city west area was profitable. Otherwise, they would probably announce the development of the city east area after the New Year.

Shen Hanxing’s gaze turned gloomy. Could it be that the city west area could not be classified as a development zone, no matter how hard she tried? This feeling of not being able to get anything in return despite putting in all her efforts sucked.

As if sensing Shen Hanxing’s emotions, Ji Yan reached out to hold her slightly cold palm and said in a deep voice, “I’m here. Everything will be fine.”

Seeing Ji Yan, Shen Hanxing’s heart inexplicably calmed down a little. She heaved a sigh of relief and calmed down. She said in a deep voice, “Professor Xu, don’t be anxious. Since the government wants us to show them, we’ll do it.”

“It’s easier said than done,” Professor Xu Jinhe let out a long sigh. This old man obsessed with academics, could not help but feel a little bitter when he thought of the devastated west side of the city that he had seen during the inspection. He did not want to bother Shen Hanxing with this kind of thing on the day of the family reunion, but he had delayed it repeatedly. He had been enduring it since he had heard the news during the day. He really could not bear it anymore. For those who supported the development of the west side of the city, time was too tight, and they didn’t have much time to wait.

Xu Jinhe said in a low voice, “The most qualified person to speak is our construction of the folk commercial street. This commercial street is a prime location on the west side of the city development zone in our plan. “But where are we going to get a commercial street in a short time?”

How could a high-rise building rise from the ground overnight?

“Since we have no folk commercial street, we can make a simplified version,” Shen Hanxing pondered. She said softly, “there are many small restaurants with a long history in the west of the city. We can clear out a street and use it as a snack street.”

Ji Yan was also thinking. He knocked on the table and added, “We can also sell goods in the latter half of the snack street. Part of the goods are specialty products of S City, and the other part will invite major merchants to support the shops.” In this way, they could satisfy the customers’ needs no matter what they wanted. After eating, they could go shopping. It was convenient.

“Okay, we can persuade the merchants,” Professor Xu Jinhe also became spirited. “We can also distribute leaflets to promote this commercial street and inform the public of our idea so that everyone can support the development of the west side of the city.”

“But…,” On the other end of the call, Professor Xu Jinhe’s wife could not help but interrupted, “the Commercial Street itself needs several days to set up. Where will the customers come from? There will be more people selling goods than buying goods. Wouldn’t it turn out to be a joke then?”

Professor Xu Jinhe sighed. Yes, what was the use of their great plans without tourists and buyers? The main thing was that they were in a hurry.

“Now is the era of the Internet. Information is transmitted quickly on the Internet,” Ji Yan reacted very quickly and decisively grasped the main point, “we can use the internet to promote and attract tourists.”

Shen Hanxing could not help but take a look at Ji Yan. No wonder others call Ji Yan a business genius. Being able to stand firmly as the head of one of the three giants of S City at such a young age, his brain must be good.

Shen Hanxing gradually had a plan in her heart. “That’s right. You can leave the matter of the promotion to us. We have to make full use of the power of the Internet.” Short videos had not yet arisen, but people had already started broadcasting live on the Internet and making short videos.

Xu Jinhe spent most of his time researching and did not know much about these things. He lamented that he was getting old. He smiled in relief and said, “It seems that this world belongs to your generation. Just do it. As long as we do our best, it doesn’t matter even if we fail.”

Xu Jinhe hung up the phone. Shen Hanxing looked determined. She knew that she could not achieve many things through hard work. But this time, she did not want to fail.

On the first day of the New Year, Shen Hanxing was busy preparing for the commercial street. She left early and returned late every day.
