Names: Uncle Zhao Mengsheng, Father-in-law Pei Yihong

Wang Dalu watched from the sidelines, shaking his head and secretly chuckling to himself.

Secretary Dakang is adept at managing the economy and governing the country, but he's far from being a master of leisure and relaxation.

With nothing to do, the fishing rods lay idle to the side, and the group started chatting, gradually shifting from everyday matters to future developments.

Looking at the entire Qihu Lake, Qi Tongwei said, "Leaders, Qihu Lake is blessed with unique resources and a solid ecological foundation. The water area is vast, the water quality is excellent, and the environment is exceptional, making it a natural and superb fishing spot."

Leisure tourism and fishing are becoming increasingly popular across the country, but Handong is sitting on a gold mine and not knowing how to use it, thus wasting its high-quality resources.

With just a little renovation and restoration—restoring the shoreline, building fishing platforms, and improving supporting facilities—this lake can be transformed into a high-standard, large-scale professional fishing base.

What the hell!

Qi Tongwei also knows these things.

Li Dakang was somewhat impressed; he was better than him.

Li Dakang instantly perked up, forgetting the boredom of fishing, and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Executive Qi's words have enlightened me!"

Two years ago, I went to Linjiang Province for a study tour. They have built a large-scale fishing and cultural tourism base that integrates competitions, tourism, catering, and accommodation. Every year, it attracts a large number of tourists from other places, boosts consumption, and helps increase the income of surrounding villages and towns.

At the time, I was only focused on other people's industrial parks, and I overlooked this kind of asset-light, high-yield cultural tourism project.

A narrow-minded person will ultimately have a limited perspective.

Governor Liu, holding his fishing rod, became interested. "Since the conditions are so good and the idea is feasible, could we in Handong follow this path and build our own high-end fishing base?"

Gao Yuliang chimed in, "Yes, it not only revitalizes idle mountain and water resources, but also enriches the cultural and tourism industry and boosts the local economy, achieving multiple benefits in one fell swoop."

Qi Tongwei nodded. "Governor Liu, no problem at all. As long as the province and city provide unified planning and policy support, and we introduce foreign capital for cooperative development, this will be no problem at all, and it will be effective as soon as it is implemented."

Just as the group was discussing plans and exploring solutions, Gao Xiaofeng, who had been sitting quietly by the sidelines, slowly stood up.

She has a gentle temperament and graceful manners.

He took out an exquisitely bound investment intention agreement from his briefcase and slowly walked to the center of the crowd.

"Governor Liu, Secretary Gao, and other leaders, I am very optimistic about the ecological and cultural tourism prospects of Handong after listening to your discussions about the Qihu Fishing Base. Our Xiangjiang Fengqi Group plans to invest one billion yuan."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.

A billion-dollar investment, taken so easily, was a move that completely surprised everyone.

Governor Liu felt that fishing was no longer appealing, so he gave the fishing rod to Zhao Shouyi.

"Mr. Gao, on behalf of the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government of Handong, I warmly welcome you to invest in Handong. Please elaborate on the plan."

Gao Xiaofeng opened the agreement and continued to slowly introduce, "Governor Liu, our side, together with the Handong Provincial Government and the Lincheng Municipal Government, will jointly develop a project centered on Qihu Lake, creating an internationally standardized competitive fishing venue, a recreational fishing park, a lakeside scenic belt, supporting homestays and hotels, and a sports and leisure complex."

After the project was completed, it established a long-term and in-depth cooperation with the National Angling Sports Federation and the International Angling Competition Organizing Committee, and regularly held national and international angling competitions.

By attracting visitors through sporting events and increasing revenue through cultural tourism, we aim to thoroughly establish Handong's reputation as an eco-tourism destination.

His words were well-organized, well-planned, and presented a comprehensive overview.

Li Dakang stared at the investment agreement, his brows furrowed slightly, a vague feeling in his heart that it was somewhat frivolous.

With so much money, you could do so many things, yet you've poured 1 billion yuan into transforming a fishing base, hosting competitions, and developing supporting facilities – it seems far too impulsive.

In his view, a billion yuan should be invested in industrial parks, the real economy, and high-tech industries. Spending it on fishing and leisure is a waste of resources.

I had a nagging feeling that rich people spend money as they please without considering the actual output.

Qi Tongwei saw through Li Dakang's little scheme and, without haste or impatience, slowly opened his mouth to explain.

"Secretary Dakang, you only see the surface of fishing and leisure, but you have ignored the chain reaction behind it."

As soon as the professional competition was held, contestants, tourists, and fishing enthusiasts from all over the country flocked to the event, boosting the catering, accommodation, transportation, local specialties, and rural consumption sectors.

A major international event, with its massive exposure, online promotion, and media coverage, can make Handong and Lincheng famous throughout the country and even overseas.

Compared to the long cycle of industrial projects, cultural and tourism projects are quick to produce results, have low risks, are pollution-free, align with green development policies, and can also beautify the environment and enhance the city's image.

Mountains and rivers are the greatest wealth; their rational development and utilization are far more valuable than their abandonment and idleness.

The analysis breaks down the concepts layer by layer, making every point logical and clearly highlighting the core advantages of cultural tourism projects.

After listening, Li Dakang pondered the matter carefully and suddenly understood.

It must be admitted that Qi Tongwei's vision is farther-reaching and more comprehensive than mine.

Gao Yuliang nodded slightly, expressing his deep agreement. "Executive Qi is right. Green mountains and clear waters are invaluable assets. This project is in line with the general trend of development and the policy guidance. It's a sure thing."

Governor Liu praised him repeatedly, his smile growing even wider.

I never thought it could be done like this.

Although Qi Tongwei was the main promoter, it was still a great achievement for Governor Liu.

Go fishing attracted a billion-dollar investment.

Fishing is great! I'll fish every day from now on.

The group sat together and began discussing details such as the terms of the agreement, equity division, construction period, event implementation, and policy support.

Without the rigid procedures of lengthy meetings, accompanied by the gentle breeze of the lake, the atmosphere was relaxed and frank, allowing everyone to express their opinions freely, and the meeting was efficient and pragmatic.

The division of responsibilities between the provincial and municipal levels, the scope of enterprise investment and construction, post-operation management, tax incentives, and land allocation were all finalized one by one, with smooth communication and no disputes or shirking of responsibility.

In just two hours, all the details of the cooperation were agreed upon and a consensus was reached.

The efficiency is ridiculously high; they are decisive and efficient.

The sun was setting in the west, and a gentle breeze blew across the lake.

On the open ground by Qihu Lake, a long table was temporarily set up, the kind that folds, with pens and the formal cooperation agreement placed on it.

Liu Changsheng, representing the Handong Provincial Government, Lin Bowen, representing the Lincheng Municipal Government, and Gao Xiaofeng, representing Xiangjiang Fengqi Co., Ltd., signed their names.

With all three parties signing and affixing their official seals, the agreement officially came into effect.

With a total investment of one billion Hong Kong dollars, the project has officially landed in Qihu Lake, Lincheng, marking the completion of an international-level fishing and cultural tourism project.

Fan Jiahui captured the moment of the signing, wrote a press release, which Qi Tongwei reviewed and immediately published in the Jingzhou Times that day.

What's the point of assigning a police auxiliary officer? It's not classy.

Not only the relatives and neighbors of Qijia Village, but all the villagers in the surrounding area must benefit.

Lincheng, get ready to take off!
