Chapter 1054: Chapter 787: Honored Guest

Zhejiang, a certain county.

Xiao Le, dressed in a formal female cadre suit, waited outside the landing pad with a large group of leaders.

Nearby, there were also three Coaster special vehicles. She wasn’t the only one waiting early on; countless leaders from all over the county had arrived.

Naturally, they were all here to wait for an esteemed guest, who had reserved this visit more than a year in advance and was only now available.

"Secretary Xiao, Mr. Chen should be arriving soon."

"Hmm... According to the time, he should have flown into the Zhejiang Province area."

"This is the economic inspection itinerary arranged for Mr. Chen by the county. Please confirm it once more."

The secretary handed over an itinerary, and Xiao Le glanced at it.

Chen Pingsheng’s plane should land in their county at ten in the morning. After picking him up at ten, she would be responsible for accompanying him to visit the county’s leading economic factory, the Tengfei AI Super Robotics Factory.

This factory hasn’t been built for long and has provided employment for fifty thousand people in the county.

The so-called basic population employment is a term for a processing factory, which doesn’t require a high education level or complicated work procedures.

Ordinary people can easily qualify for such jobs.

In addition, 169 robot supply chain manufacturers have emerged in the county as a result.

It can be said that ever since Tengfei AI designated that piece of land as the future world factory for robots, countless robot supply chain manufacturers have sprung up here.

That area has now become the most famous high-tech robot park in the Zhejiang Province.

It has even become a star industrial park in the province.

You can only say that today’s robots, especially AI robots, are a bit too popular.

Whether for chatting or performing household chores, they now possess very mature technology.

Commercialization of robots is now popular both domestically and abroad.

Like Tengfei AI, such groups have invested over 600 billion in cash for research from 2020 to 2030.

After a grueling ten years, they achieved later world-class results.

Back then, Chen Pingsheng had anticipated this outcome; if it weren’t for his investment in Tesla, including NVIDIA stock, which earned him billions of US Dollars, he couldn’t have managed such a massive funding.

Super tech giants never materialize overnight; they require a long nurturing period.

It took Tengfei AI a full ten years to break even after its founding.

And in those first ten years, they were mostly at a significant loss.

This is the main reason why newcomers find it difficult to emerge now— unless they have vast amounts of money; few can endure an uncertain outcome with billions.

Once developed, the returns on such a research group are nothing that ordinary small enterprises or traditional businesses can match.

When the private jet finally circled above and landed, three exclusive secretaries accompanied Chen Pingsheng.

It was Tang Jing who headed the team, responsible for coordinating all future political affairs of the big boss.

In public, Xiao Le could not call him uncle; she had to address him as Mr. Chen, like everyone else.

If the itinerary wasn’t confidential, hosting him wouldn’t have been possible for someone at the county secretary level alone.

That would typically require at least a vice-provincial-level cadre.

Such high treatment is what becomes possible once commercial development reaches a certain scale.

Chen Lu came on this trip mainly to broaden his horizons.

His two sisters, Erya didn’t like dealing too much with Zhengfu, so she moved to Xiangjiang early on.

The things she dealt with didn’t require much interaction with Zhengfu.

An’an, on the other hand, couldn’t avoid it, frequently hosting large business and political meetings due to various projects and collaborations.

This county has a population of over 600,000. Since Xiao Le came here, the employment rate has risen by 60% within a year.

It has also attracted countless migrant workers, providing them with many government-subsidized affordable rental housing.

Such housing is also called public rental housing, where the government steps in to reclaim surplus properties from real estate developers.

One purpose is to solve economic turnover problems; another is primarily to stabilize housing prices.

Too much surplus real estate naturally affects housing prices, as well as the entire real estate sales cycle.

Real estate developers are, thus, trapped in this mire, unable to extricate themselves.

The housing price’s eventual stabilization still fundamentally depended on the major policy impacts, with interventions from major regions.

If the prices kept falling as they had for years, it might push a large segment of the middle class back to a pre-liberation state.

From 2019 to 2027, countless people were stuck in this mire.

Things only stabilized in 2028.

In that year, Chen Pingsheng also reinvested billions into commercial real estate nationwide.

But these things can be put aside for now.

For a county, GDP growth remains the essential factor.

In the nearly two years since Xiao Le came here, the county’s industrial output value has grown the fastest.

From over 6 billion before, it has risen to now over 100 billion in two years.

This accounts for 45% of the city’s total industrial output.

The results are quite remarkable.

These figures were actually within expectations; after all, if Tengfei AI wanted to propel a backward county to rapid development, it was relatively easy.

What truly sets this county apart are the related data points like per capita income and happiness index.

In her two years in office, the Tengying Group’s charitable fund and welfare group.

Invested over 20 billion into welfare projects in this county, including the largest high schools, middle schools, elementary schools, and public healthcare projects in the city.

Such significant public funding poured in, and the effect on the residents’ life here has been quite visible.

The simplest thing is that children now study in much better environments.

The foundations of education, including education quality, have all been upgraded in one step.

In addition, medical treatment also doesn’t cost as much anymore; at least small illnesses don’t cost anything.

For serious illnesses, only a small fund is needed.

As a result, many ordinary citizens are grateful to Xiao Le, the newly appointed county head.

They sincerely remember her good deeds.

She has effectively improved the lives of several hundred thousand ordinary residents in this place.

Although none of this would have been possible without the backing of Chen Pingsheng, so what?

In the workplace or the system, it is hard to achieve things single-handedly.

Currently, he no longer needs those titular positions. Everything he does is unpublicized, only quietly contributing to Xiao Le’s political achievements, helping her advance further.

Those unaware naturally only feel grateful to Xiao Le, the new county secretary; they indeed should be grateful to her.

To fully develop a county doesn’t require too many resources, at least not for Chen Pingsheng.

Xiao Le won’t be staying here forever; in four years, she is most likely to be promoted again.

And this place will become the most essential mark in her path to promotion.

Helping her tread further on her journey.

Chen Pingsheng, along with Chen Lu, sat in the county’s conference room, listening to many of Xiao Le’s proposals for the county’s further development.

As time passes, she’ll likely move up to the deputy municipal level.

Time really flies, indeed.
