Chapter 1323: The Suggestion Is Rejected

“A scam, 1 guess. It’s been about seven or eight years, 1 think,” Guo Lu said.
“I heard from Brother Wang that at that time, the county hadn’t completely given up on attracting investment. They were making efforts every year, and the policies were quite favorable. Coincidentally, a food factory wanted to establish a presence here. They practically got the land for free, with an additional 2 million in subsidies. But halfway through construction, they declared bankruptcy, and this building, which was mortgaged, was left behind.”
Lin Yi nodded with a calm expression.
Things were better in a first- or second-tier city, but these things happened from time to time in small towns.
After rolling up the money, they would run away and declare bankruptcy. The officials would not even be able to find the stakeholders anymore. Only the person involved knew who would end up reaping the benefits.
However, this also proved a principle.
This place where the three cities intersected did indeed have a little commercial value.
However, Dongsan County alone would definitely not be able to push this plan.
They had to rely on powerful external support.
“Why are you asking this?” Guo Lu asked indifferently.
“I feel that this place is not bad. There is hope of success here.”
With that, Lin Yi drove away.
Although the geographical location was not bad, he still had to look at the other conditions.
As the saying went, if you want to be rich, you had to build a road first.
If the remaining two cities were too far away, the advantage in terms of location would be greatly reduced.
This would not be attractive for investors.
“What are you going to do now? Aren’t you going back?” Guo Lu asked.
“Didn’t we just come out? Why do you already want to go back?”
“Can you handle this at all?” Guo Lu said, displeased.
“Do you even understand what kind of place this is?”
“Isn’t this Dongsan County?”
“You know this is Dongsan County, but you’re still trying to do this?” Guo Lu rolled her eyes in anger and said.
“Whether you’re poor or not has nothing to do with the efforts of the local government. It’s related to policy. You’re still young and want to express yourself, but don’t think too simply of things. If it was possible to recruit investors, others would have done it long ago, and you wouldn’t need to try so hard now.”
“To put it bluntly, I’m just delaying you from watching your dramas, right?” Lin Yi smiled.
“I know you’re here to gild yourself. You don’t have to actually involve yourself. It’s annoying to hear you keep nagging on and on.”
“Who are you talking about?”
“Behave yourself,” Lin Yi said, “If you don’t want to stay, get out of the car now. I didn’t force you to stay.”
“I’ll get out!”
Guo Lu unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to open the door when she realized that they were on the highway. If she got out of the car, she would not be able to go back.
“Are you trying to bully me?!”
“Then don’t talk. I’m annoyed enough as it is.”
“How am I annoying?” Guo Lu said.
“I’m just stating facts. I’ll make things clear to you. Your actions are extremely stupid in my eyes!”
“What about you? Aren’t you ashamed when you just waste time here and then get your family to arrange a job for you later on?”
“That’s the wealth that my family has accumulated. My starting point is higher than yours!”
Lin Yi smiled with mockery in his eyes.
The two of them drove the car to Yuezhou without saying anything. After calculating the distance, it was about 18 kilometers away.
Then, he returned to the previous location and drove towards Jinshui City. It was about 22 kilometers long, so it was not too far.
This meant that the geographical location of this central spot was very interesting.
After this, Lin Yi drove the car back to the county. Guo Lu slammed the door and got out of the car, but Lin Yi ignored her.
After finding a place to eat, Lin Yi called Qi Xianzhao.
“President Lin.”
“How are things going at the company? Are you busy?”
“The photolithography machine project has already been put on the agenda. Now, many people are looking for investors. Moreover, Director Shen is already preparing to build a three-nanometer photolithography machine. He’s a little busy.”
“Prohibit all private companies from investing,” Lin Yi said.
“However, you can invite Huarun Group into this matter. President Shen will give you an opinion on this.”
Qi Xianzhao smiled. “Director Shen and I went to Yanjing a few days ago and met President Shen. She gave us a lot of advice.”
“Listen to her carefully. We’re all on the same side, so there’s no need to hide anything,” Lin Yi said.
