Official title: Refused to stay at the university, started his career in a rural town.

"Therefore, we must show more sincerity than others." Yang Fan turned around and looked at Liu Xiangdong and Su Shunda.

"If coastal cities can offer three years of tax exemption and two years of tax reduction, we can too."

"But what they can't offer is this: we can tell every company that moves in – if your key technical personnel come to Ninghe, we'll help you with housing, arrange schooling for your children, and coordinate medical care for your elderly relatives. You just need to focus on R&D and production, and we'll take care of the rest."

"What other places can give, we can give as well; what other places can't give, we can also give!"

He walked back to the coffee table and picked up the sketch.

"I've also thought about the issue that the secretary was worried about earlier—whether it would be accused of being a private transaction or whether I would be labeled with a negative label."

"The solution is simple: complete openness and transparency!"

Yang Fan put down the sketch and sat back down on the sofa.

"It's not like we secretly offer preferential treatment to any company we think is suitable. We issue public invitations, with all the admission requirements, support policies, land prices, and bank loan interest rates for the science park printed in black and white on the letter."

"The review standards, review results, and signing ceremony will all be made public. Anyone who meets the requirements is welcome! Those who don't meet the requirements won't be swayed by any lobbying!"

Liu Xiangdong stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray. Su Shunda leaned back on the sofa, his fingers tapping slowly on his knees.

Yang Fan took out cigarettes and offered two to the crowd.

"Once the science park takes off, and once a group of companies establish themselves in Ninghe, all accusations of 'transfer of benefits' and 'private dealings' will simply crumble on their own!"

"Because everyone will see that we're not just giving money to any one person; we're creating a way out for hundreds of thousands of people in Ninghe County. If it succeeds, this model will become a benchmark for the entire Ningzhou and Handong!"

"Of course, I can't fulfill my responsibilities..."

Yang Fan smiled sheepishly. He was just an executive deputy county head, so he wouldn't be the first one to be punished.

So today he prepared so much material and said so much, just to strengthen the confidence of the two main leaders.

Liu Xiangdong looked up at him. After a while, he stood up, walked to Yang Fan, stared at him for a few seconds, then reached out and patted Yang Fan on the shoulder, saying with a smile.

"You're right. If we don't dare to go all out, we'll always fall behind. I'll take responsibility!" Liu Xiangdong turned around and looked at Su Shunda.

"County Chief Su, I think Yang Fan's idea is feasible! We have plenty of land; we can provide the necessary policies. The most important thing is to make the plan solid, make the process transparent, and show every step to everyone."

Liu Xiangdong's meaning is clear: if the process is made truly transparent, even if it fails, the pressure won't be too great.

Su Shunda pondered for a moment and then nodded.

"I agree! County Chief Yang, please compile today's plan into an official document, and we'll go through it at the Standing Committee meeting. The science park's site selection, entry requirements, and support policies—detail them one by one and write them into the document."

He paused. "Also, we need to come up with a list in advance of which companies will receive the first batch of invitations."

Yang Fan nodded and said, "I'll get started as soon as I get back, and try to produce a first draft of the plan within a week."

Liu Xiangdong thought for a moment and said, "This time, we must make sure to send invitations to all qualified companies within the province. We can't let any more problems arise because we didn't invite them!"

After a pause, he continued, "Back in Qingping Township, you considered Hengtong. Although Hengtong did seem quite good in hindsight, having too few choices isn't always a good thing."

Yang Fan instantly understood what Liu Xiangdong meant. He was saying that the invitations had to be sent out properly, and he even mentioned his time in Qingping. He was basically saying that for companies like Ruilong Group, the invitations had to be sent out properly as well.

People don't have to come, but you need to make preparations in advance to avoid causing a lot of trouble.

"I understand, Secretary!"

Yang Fan nodded knowingly to Liu Xiangdong.

"Oh, by the way, have you decided on a name for that science park you mentioned?"

Su Shunda asked.

Yang Fan thought for a moment and said, "Let's call it Ninghe Electronic Information Technology Park. It's simple and easy to remember."

Liu Xiangdong nodded. "Okay."

In Jingzhou, at Villa No. 7 of the Provincial Party Committee, Zhao Ruilong was playing with the invitation letter from the Ninghe County Electronic Information Science and Technology Park.

Yang Fan!

How could anyone forget this guy who was so arrogant and powerful in front of Zhao Ruilong in Handong!

However, as his relationship with Handong University became increasingly close, he had no choice but to give it up under the warning of his elderly father.

He's arrogant, not stupid!

Yang Fan has started a new project in Ninghe, and the invitation letter mentions strong support, which has piqued Yang Fan's interest.

"What's going on? What are you doing with this invitation! I warned you!"

Upon seeing the invitation letter from Ninghe County Science and Technology Park, which was recently reported from Ningzhou to the Provincial Party Committee, Zhao Lichun frowned and asked a question.

"Dad, I'm not stupid. I'm just thinking that this is a really good project! No land costs, low-interest loans, and a whole host of support measures. It's just that the qualifications required by the authorities are too strict! Maybe..."

Zhao Ruilong lay back on the sofa and asked casually.

Don't even think about it!

Zhao Lichun glared fiercely at Zhao Ruilong.

"Do you even know what time it is?!"

Governor Zheng Guoliang is about to retire, and Secretary Liang Qunfeng is also getting old. Now is a time of great upheaval!

This young man, Zhao Lichun, is working hard!

"I know, I know, I won't hold you back! I'm thinking about whether I should get involved!"

Zhao Ruilong murmured.

"How's that industrial park in your Qingping Township doing? Whether in government or business, investment is all about investing in people!"

Zhao Lichun nodded to Zhao Ruilong.

"Of course we made a killing! We recouped all our investment last year! Hmm, there aren't many qualified companies around in Jingzhou, so I'll ask my second sister to find me a qualified company from the Han River region, and I'll get involved too!"

"Whatever you want!"

Zhao Lichun nodded. As long as Zhao Ruilong didn't mess things up, these were minor issues.

Fine, fine. Let Yang Fan be arrogant in front of Zhao Ruilong. Our young master Ruilong is magnanimous and won't stoop to your level!

But I absolutely have to hitch a ride on this money-making car!

Business is booming in the industrial park in Qingping Township. He has paid off his second sister's debts and still has a lot of money left to live a carefree life. His future is sure to be brighter.

"Yang Fan, Yang Fan! I hope you stay this awesome and help me make some money! Otherwise, hmph!"

After much deliberation, Young Master Ruilong decided that he should give Qian some face and let Yang Fan off the hook for a while longer.
