"Mr. Ling is really a dragon among humans. I used to see it in movies and thought it was not an ordinary person. This time I saw it with my own eyes, I felt that it was a national talent. Miss Yue Qian is also very beautiful today. We can produce an international star like you in Chengji City. I, the mayor, also feels bright on my face when I go to other meetings."

"Hello Mayor Luo, I'm sorry we were late. The main reason is that the group's statistics on available funds have been delayed. I don't know how much money I bring in my pocket, so I really don't have the confidence to pay for your banquet."

Ling Xiao said with a smile. The casualness that seemed to bring money out to buy groceries made Mayor Luo's heart beat sharply. He whispered: "I wonder how much money Mr. Ling has prepared? Can you reveal a little bit that we can have a tacit understanding with each other when making plans."

But Ling Xiao didn't seem to be thinking about hiding it. He said in his usual accent: "If Mayor Luo builds an industrial zone, I am a child. If Mayor Luo is ready to continue to strengthen the tourism industry in Chengji City, I can now publicly guarantee you that Tiangong Group has unlimited support. I have brought the investment agreement. As long as Mayor Luo, my words will be fulfilled immediately."

Mayor Luo looked at President Gao.

Ling Xiao and Yue Qian's appearance was silent at the stunning cocktail party, so his words had been heard by everyone present.

Everyone knows that Ling Xiao once stated that he would support Chengji City's construction without limit, but it was just verbally said that if he wanted to repent, he just needed to find a reason. For example, his own economic chain was tight, his investment environment was not suitable, and he could even blame officials.

It is precisely because of this that Chengji City did not intend to hang itself on a tree in Tiangong Group, so this investment and refueling party was held. Now Ling Xiao wants to turn this promise into a legally binding contract, which shows that Tiangong Group really wants to bleed heavily in Chengji City.

An unlimited investment in Chengji City by a powerful economy was originally a great thing, but Ling Xiao asked Chengji City not to engage in industry and continue to engage in tourism. All of these businessmen invited by Chengji City were physical entrepreneurs. If he signed this agreement, wouldn’t he drive them away?

And Chengji City continues to engage in tourism? In terms of the current environment, this is a bottomless pit.

Mayor Luo was unwilling to offend anyone. He explained Ling Xiao the current tourism environment and said: "We have watched the tourism resources of Chengji City grow step by step. Which of our citizens in Chengji City has not cleared the river? We all have deep feelings for every grass and tree in Chengji City, but now relying solely on the tourism industry is no longer enough to support the survival of this city. It can even be said that it has become a big burden. Too many unemployed people need resettlement, we need factories and a large number of jobs. I know that Mr. Ling is kind-hearted to invest in Chengji City's tourism industry, but if no one comes to consume, no matter how big the investment is, it will be wasteful. Mr. Ling should consider investing in our industry. For example, Mr. Gao has decided to build an automobile manufacturing plant in Chengji City. Mr. Gao has provided equipment, technology, Mr. Ling has provided funds, software, and we can easily make a world in the automotive field."

Mr. Gao also came out, and he wanted to bite a large piece of the fat piece of Tiangong Group first. Facing Ling Xiao, Mr. Gao acted as an elder to teach his younger generations a lesson: "I admit that Chengji City has a very good environmental protection, and the tourism industry was also very prosperous in the past. But once your Tiangong community comes out, people can't have enough food, so they have to find another way out. In fact, not only Chengji City, but almost all tourist areas face such problems. In your community, there are too many scenic spots that are one hundred times more beautiful than Chengji City.

The fee is very low, so you don’t have to worry about traffic congestion and various dangerous emergencies. You are ready to improve the tourism image of Chengji City. The starting point is good, but young people should not be too whimsical. No matter how much money you have, you can’t recover the tourism industry here. Economic transformation is the only way out. I know you are worried that Chengji City’s environment will be destroyed, but the history of the development of human civilization is the history of destruction of nature. If Tiangong Group really has spare money, you can add sewage treatment equipment to our factories."

Other industrialists have also expressed that as long as Tiangong Group is willing to pay, they can also produce wastewater and waste cigarettes produced in their own factories for treatment.

Ling Xiao looked down on these proposals and walked straight to the podium: "Gentlemen, ladies. In Chengji City these days, what I heard the most is that traditional tourism will be replaced by virtual tourism. What I want to say is that this is absolutely impossible. No matter how real, beautiful, and exciting the virtual tourist attractions are, every tourist who plays these virtual scenic spots knows that this is fake. What they see, hear, and breathe are all data. No matter how good the air inside is, it will not improve their body at all. No matter how wonderful the experience inside is, it will not leave any trace in their life. How deep can it be left after exiting from the virtual space?

Impression? But physical tourism is different. When we go to the scenic spot, we are full of expectations for vacation in transportation. In the suburbs of Chengji City, we can truly embrace nature. We breathe the real fresh air and soak the hot springs that can improve our physical fitness. Every moment, it is a exploration of nature. Unexpected events may occur at any time. Good things may be bad things, but it is by no means a deliberate arrangement by programmers. They will become the most worth remembering memories of our journey. When we leave, I will also buy some souvenirs to place them at home. When we occasionally see them, I recall that Chengji City is a beautiful place."

Lingxiao’s unique view on the tourism industry has given every Chengji City official a new idea. As Lingxiao said, virtual tourism has its convenient advantages, but traditional tourism also has characteristics that cannot be ignored. If it is true that people will eventually choose traditional tourism after passing the novelty of virtual tourism, then Chengji City does not have to rush to change its current economic mode.

Mayor Luo's contemplation was something that the physical entrepreneurs present did not want to see. A city that was eager to transform under economic pressure would give his investors many generous policies. In the past few days, they had fully understood the city. Its periphery was simply a large area of ​​undeveloped virgin land, large areas of forests backed by rivers. They only needed to build factories and do not need a good road to complete the in and out of raw materials and products for production. In the almost completely developed southern China, such a geographical location is really hard to find. It can be said that after seeing the environment of Chengji City, even without the Tiangong Group, these companies were willing to take root here.

At this time, Mr. Gao stood up: "These are your assumptions. In fact, I think it is almost impossible for traditional tourism to return to its past prosperity. Most people travel not to enjoy the experience of travel, nor to health. It is done by high-end tourists with a strong foundation of wealth. They are all seeking a way to relax in their tense lives. If such senses can be found in virtual scenic spots, they will never consume the limited holidays on traditional tourism. Chengji City has no pyramids, no Great Wall, and no scenic spots that attract high-end tourists. What you said is too unrealistic for Chengji City. Only industry is the way out for Chengji City. If Tiangong Group is unwilling to invest here, we can also build this industrial area."
