Brother, just how powerful is our family?

The so-called "attractions" are a section of embankment along the Huai River, a Confucian temple originally built in the Ming Dynasty, and an old street that is said to have a history of several hundred years.

But the old street was already dilapidated, with only a few crumbling old houses remaining.

The annual budget of the Culture and Tourism Bureau is pitifully small, and its main job is to write reports and deal with inspections.

Director Sun held this position for eight years. His greatest achievement was organizing a "Huaihe River Culture Festival," which invited several local theater troupes to perform, and the audience was mostly villagers from the surrounding area.

He suddenly heard that there might be 20,000 to 30,000 tourists during the National Day holiday, and he felt like he was dreaming.

"Ms. Qin, are you sure?" Director Sun was still uneasy.

"Confirmed." Qin Yao opened her phone and showed him the discussion in the live stream. "Look, it's really lively right now. And I'm planning to hold an event in the live stream to encourage everyone to participate."

"What activity?"

Qin Yao smiled mysteriously: "We're giving luxury cars to our fans who come on vacation."

"ah?!"

"Ten Porsche Panameras," Qin Yao said casually. "Any fan who travels to Huai County during the National Day holiday will have a chance to win. The winners will be randomly selected based on their mobile phone numbers, and they must be registered with their real names and reside in Huai County."

Director Sun opened his mouth, unable to speak for a long time.

Ten Porsches, each worth at least a million, ten of them would be ten million.

They just sent them out like that? Just to attract tourists to Huai County?

Is this the world of the rich?

"However, this might attract even more people," Qin Yao cautioned. "I estimate it could be hundreds of thousands."

"Hundreds of thousands..." Director Sun felt his blood pressure soaring.

What does it mean when hundreds of thousands of tourists suddenly flood into a county with a permanent population of six or seven hundred thousand? The entire county would be paralyzed!

"So we need to be prepared," Qin Yao said earnestly. "My brother said this is a great opportunity to promote our hometown, but we must do a good job of receiving visitors and not let them leave disappointed."

Director Sun took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down: "Yes, yes, we need to be prepared. I'll report to the county immediately!"

That afternoon, Huai County urgently convened a meeting to deploy tourism reception work.

All the main leaders of the county party committee and county government attended, along with the heads of all relevant units, including the Bureau of Culture and Tourism, the Public Security Bureau, the Transportation Bureau, the Market Supervision Bureau, the Health Commission, and the Urban Management Bureau.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was heavy.

Director Sun reported the situation: "...According to the information provided by Ms. Qin Yao, it is estimated that hundreds of thousands of tourists will visit our county during the National Day holiday. This is unprecedented in the history of our county. We must make full preparations to ensure the safety and satisfaction of tourists and showcase the good image of Huai County."

The number of hundreds of thousands made the leaders present gasp in shock.

The county party secretary tapped the table: "Comrades, this is a challenge, but also an opportunity. Huai County has never received this kind of attention before. If we do well this time, our county's tourism industry can get off the ground, create jobs, and increase income. But if we don't do well, it won't just be a disgrace to Huai County, but to Shenyang City and Henan Province!"

He looked at the police chief: "Old Li, safety is the top priority. You know how much pressure there is on maintaining public order with hundreds of thousands of people."

Police Chief Li stood up: "Secretary, rest assured, I've made the arrangements. All staff will have their holidays cancelled during the National Day holiday. In addition, police officers will be drawn from police stations in various townships to ensure that there are police officers on duty in key areas and during key periods. We are also preparing to establish a tourist police squadron to specifically handle police incidents related to tourists."

"What about transportation?" the secretary asked the director of the transportation bureau.

The transportation bureau chief, sweating profusely, said, "Secretary, the biggest problem is parking. Even if only one-tenth of the hundreds of thousands of tourists drive, that's still tens of thousands of cars. All the parking spaces in our county combined are less than ten thousand..."

"Then let's open up temporary parking lots," the Party Secretary decisively decided. "School playgrounds, government compounds, and vacant lots—all of them will be open. The traffic police will guide the parking and prevent haphazard parking that could cause congestion."

"And then there's accommodation," the county head interjected. "Our county's hotels and guesthouses combined have less than five thousand beds. Where will hundreds of thousands of people stay?"

Director Sun of the Culture and Tourism Bureau said, "We are considering stimulating the development of homestays. Many families in Huai County have spare rooms that can be temporarily converted. In addition, surrounding towns and villages can also divert some tourists."

"What about food?" the market supervision bureau chief asked. "With so many tourists, can the food supply keep up? How can food safety be guaranteed?"

The meeting lasted three hours, with one question after another.

Accommodation, catering, transportation, safety, hygiene, communication... each one is a challenge.

But no one said "no." Everyone knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Huai County.

After the meeting, all departments immediately took action.

The Culture and Tourism Bureau produced "A Letter to All the People of the County" overnight and widely publicized it through television, radio, WeChat official accounts, and village loudspeakers:

"Dear fellow villagers: During the National Day holiday, we expect hundreds of thousands of tourists to visit Huai County. This is a fantastic opportunity for us to showcase Huai County's image and develop our tourism industry. We hope that every resident of Huai County will welcome guests from all directions with enthusiasm, integrity, and friendliness... No business may engage in any form of overcharging or exploitation of tourists. Once discovered, such practices will be severely punished without exception... Let us work together to ensure that tourists arrive with high expectations and leave satisfied!"

This letter caused a sensation in Huai County.

In the streets and alleys, in teahouses and restaurants, people are talking about it:

"Have you heard? Hundreds of thousands of people are coming for National Day!"

"My goodness, can our small county town even accommodate everyone?"

"That girl from the Qin family is really something; she can summon so many people with just a word."

"I have a spare room at home, could you clean it up and turn it into a bed and breakfast?"

"I'm planning to set up a small stall at the entrance and sell some snacks."

The Market Supervision Administration organized a mobilization meeting for the county's catering and accommodation industries.

At the meeting, the bureau chief stated bluntly: "This is Huai County's chance to turn things around. Anyone who dares to overcharge customers, sell inferior goods, or cheat and swindle will not only be fined until they are bankrupt, but will also be forced to leave Huai County! On the contrary, those who do well and operate with integrity will be rewarded and promoted by the county!"

The Public Security Bureau organized three emergency drills, simulating various situations such as crowd congestion, traffic jams, and sudden illnesses.

The Transportation Bureau worked overnight to create a traffic management map for the National Day holiday and set up signs at major intersections.

The health department inspected the hygiene conditions of all hotels and guesthouses, and those that did not meet the requirements were given a deadline to rectify the situation.

Even the Urban Management Bureau mobilized to organize a county-wide cleanup, eliminating unsanitary corners and repairing damaged roads.

The entire Huai County is like a machine that has suddenly started, with every gear running at high speed.
