Chapter 250 Touching
In the venue, Li Yingqi stood up and said: "County Magistrate Yang, the next thing is left to you. Mr. Ian and I are going to go to the beach for a walk to understand the situation and all the things decided at the meeting.
It will be officially announced at the afternoon meeting, and within three days, we will make Fengyu active."
"Secretary Li, don't worry. If I can't even do this, then I will leave immediately." County Magistrate Yang said with red eyes. The first day, he was scolding this young man behind his back for not being able to do things. Who would have thought
In just one meeting, he solved the funding problem of 5 billion for Fengyu. I dare not say anything else. With this money, everything in Fengyu will be very smooth at least within three years.
After leaving the venue, Ian heard the excited shouts and laughter in the venue, and a proud smile appeared on his face.
After Li Yingqi saw it, he also smiled and said: "Why, you don't think I just asked you to pay some money and that's it?"
"Haha, I don't dare to say anything else now, but if it's just money, then it's really not a problem for me." Ian unknowingly revealed a proud look in his words.
He didn't pay attention to this at all, but Li Yingqi nodded secretly. This was the right first step, and he saw it right. This trip was not only to let Ian understand this land, but also to make him develop a strong desire.
Giving money is like letting a person build a building with his own hands. No matter whether the building is good or bad, it will give people a sense of pride. After all, it is made by himself.
And in this process, the more energy you put into it, the more reluctant you will be to let it be damaged, until you develop strong feelings and desire for protection. This is Li Yingqi's real purpose.
Although the money is not much for Ian, it is still part of the investment. Whether Ian can truly develop feelings and protective desires for this country depends on how much energy and emotion Li Yingqi can make Ian invest here.
The two came to the street and found a taxi. The taxi driver asked where they were going, and Li Yingqi replied: "Go to the desert and have a look."
"Isn't that close? If I use the meter, I will suffer a big loss on the return journey." The driver said.
"Haha, it doesn't matter, we'll rent your car today."
"Okay, let's go."
Fengyu County has an area of 4,300 square kilometers, but 3,800 square kilometers of it are desert areas. Although desertification is controlled every year and trees are planted every year, it is only able to maintain the existing prevention measures.
Sand belt, because there is a larger area of desert behind the desert that is divided into Fengyu County. It is simply impossible to completely control the desert.
The harsh environment has also had a great impact on the development of Fengyu. Except for some man-made tourist attractions on the edge of the desert, there are almost no large-scale enterprises in the county. Young people have gone out to work, leaving behind some constraints.
For people who only seek stability, they naturally cannot talk about entrepreneurship or development.
More than an hour later, they arrived at the sand control belt, which is a long forest about one kilometer wide. Ian and Li Yingqi walked through the sand control belt. The scene in front of them immediately made Ian feel powerless.
As far as the eye can see, there is nothing but yellow sand with no end in sight. A large number of shrubs are planted near the sand control zone. A little further away, hay is artificially divided into many small squares to prevent the expansion of the desert.
.
This method may work temporarily, but for the boundless desert, just a strong wind will completely cover people's work.
"Fengyu invests 200 to 300 million yuan in sand control every year. This money is almost all of Fengyu's fiscal and tax revenue and major allocations from superiors. It has been continuously controlling desertification for more than ten years, and this is how we have this prevention measure."
Sand belt." Li Yingqi sighed.
"It is indeed a problem." Ian nodded in agreement.
"But now we are here." Li Yingqi looked at Ian with a smile and asked: "How is it? Do you dare to clean it up?"
Ian agreed immediately. In his opinion, there was nothing difficult about it, it was just a matter of paying more money.
"It's just that, as a friend, I hope you can do me another favor." Li Yingqi added.
"What's up."
"I want you to make some investments here, which are commercial, because whether you or I will leave sooner or later, I don't think this trip is in vain. We have to really do something to help Fengyu
, not just donating money." Li Yingqi said.
After hearing this, Ian replied: "I don't know much about business matters, but I also know some people who may have ideas."
Then Li Yingqi took Ian to one of the poorest small villages in Fengyu. When Ian saw those people with black hair and yellow skin like himself, sitting there with dull eyes, he was indifferent even if he walked up to them.
At that moment, his heart suddenly ached a little.
When he accompanied Li Yingqi to chat with the disabled and poor people in the village, he discovered that he still had such a group of helpless compatriots. He couldn't help but ask himself, was he really planning to lead this country into war? These compatriots
What should we do?
He shed tears when he heard that these people living at the bottom of society relied on only a few hundred yuan in government subsidies every month to survive.
He shed tears again when he saw a woman whose husband had died taking care of her paralyzed mother-in-law and supporting two children at the same time.
When he saw a thirteen-year-old girl, after putting down her schoolbag, cooking for herself and feeding her grandma bite by bite, his heart... really hurt, and he even took a deep breath.
The tone made his body tremble.
"Our country is big, but we cannot put all our energy into helping the weak. That will make us fall behind again, and we will be beaten if we fall behind."
"The purpose of developing our economy, science and technology, and military is actually to protect them and our nation, so that we have the opportunity and time to become stronger."
When Ian was extremely touched, Li Yingqi said the words above, and Ian immediately responded: "I will also protect them."
Li Yingqi's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Yes, we are the same nation and the same country. If we don't even protect them and help them, then these people really have no hope."
"Tell me what to do." Ian stared at Li Yingqi with red eyes, as if he had made a lot of determination in his heart.
"Invest, consult your business partners, tell them the situation here and your determination, and let's protect our families together." Li Yingqi's voice was full of encouragement, like a magic spell.
Ian also nodded immediately, picked up the phone and started making calls.
"Taro Luye, I have decided to invest in Fengyu County... on a scale? I want to make this a city known to the whole world."
"Buck, I want to establish a branch of Surprise Group in Fengyu County of Dragon Kingdom... The conditions here are very bad, there is a large desert... No matter the cost."
"Su Cheng, tell Liu Jiadong and the others to rush to Fengyu County as quickly as possible to conduct business inspections. Everyone must invest in at least one project worth more than one billion here."
Li Yingqi watched Ian stop after making these three calls, and asked: "Is that enough?"
Ian smiled and said: "Of course, these are all within my control. I guarantee they won't be able to leave once they come, haha."
"What is the expected scale?" Li Yingqi asked.
"Then it depends on how much influence I have." Ian said pointedly.
"Haha, then I'll wait for your good news."
The two of them spent the whole day in various villages in Fengyu. Ian came into contact with a large number of people at the bottom, and his heart was touched more and more. He even made the decision to suspend his actions. He really planned to do this for this.
