Chapter 380: Chapter 380: The Attitude of Superiors

At that moment, everyone was stunned as they looked toward Ji Yang, having not expected him to have such a plan.

As they looked again at the proposed plan, everyone had to admit that Ji Yang’s idea was indeed very good.

"But, Secretary Ji, it’s not that I don’t support you," someone said. "I’m just worried. It’s no small amount of money. Who will invest?"

"First, we will report to the higher-ups and see their attitude. How about tomorrow I and Old Cao go to the city to present our ideas?"

Cao Songxin hesitated for a moment, thinking of his many years of obscurity. Suddenly, he felt the impulse to make a big move and slammed the table, loudly exclaiming, "Good!"

Ji Yang also smiled. Cao Songxin indeed still wanted to accomplish something.

The next day, Ji Yang and Cao Songxin together rushed to the city.

The city’s Party committee leaders were also somewhat surprised after listening to their report.

Ji Yang and Cao Songxin did not return immediately, waiting now for the city’s decision.

Less than a day later, when the two returned to the mayor’s office, they received a middling decision.

The city committee agreed in principle to their plan. However, they needed to secure all the funding themselves; they could receive some policy support.

"This..."

Upon hearing this, Cao Songxin immediately felt deflated, knowing that this was not something that could be achieved with a small amount of money.

Yet Ji Yang was satisfied. After inquiring about some possible preferential policies, he expressed his intention to give his full effort.

Ji Yang understood in his heart, from the province to the city, that they neither supported nor obstructed his plans. They just wanted to see what he could achieve without their support.

Ji Yang certainly did not want to wait. This time, the city likely also consulted the province. This was the attitude of the higher-ups.

Sitting in the car back, Cao Songxin sighed and said, "Secretary Ji, as you see, the higher-ups are disregarding us."

Ji Yang smiled and said, "Actually, I have been aware of this. I will take care of attracting investment. After you return, start working on the dam demolition first. We need to get that area ready."

"There’s also no particularly difficult demolition there. It’s quite easy. The key is, who will take on the project?"

"Don’t worry, I am confident I can make it happen."

When the two returned to the county, they gathered the other team members again.

Cao Songxin reported the situation in the city before saying, "That’s the situation. We reported, and the higher-ups agreed to give some policies, but all the work must be done by us. As for coordinating with the neighboring province, the higher-ups will assist us some."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent. Wang Hongping sighed, "If that’s the case, it’s too difficult. We really can’t count on getting it done."

Ji Yang said, "Now let me share my thoughts. Firstly, if someone is coming to invest, they obviously want benefits. No one does a deal without benefits. My idea is to let the investors build the tunnel through those two mountains. They would need to invest nearly twenty million to help us break through and construct the road."

Dai Mingxiu said, "Who would be so foolish!" Realizing her mistake, she quickly added, "Secretary Ji, I just spoke without thinking."

Ji Yang said, "You’re not wrong, who would be foolish enough to invest so much and help us build roads? So, we have to give them benefits. That would be the entire development of Xincheng. The majority of the profits from the development of Xincheng will go to them."

"Secretary Ji, there wouldn’t be much profit in that, right? In city construction, real estate profits are most important. That place is just a barren land. Who would take the risk of investing there, and how much profit can really be made?"

"Yeah, someone would have to be really misguided to invest."

Everyone completely disbelieved in this idea.

Ji Yang said, "This time the upper levels have given us some policy advantages, which we will use to the fullest. Then, in the development of Xincheng, we can let them develop freely; there should still be profits to be made."

"Secretary Ji, whatever it is, this is a good thing, and I still support it."

Thinking of their previously promised support, everyone now stiffly expressed their backing.

Cao Songxin said, "Secretary Ji, if this project gets going, it’s no small matter. Can you really find investors?"

"Rest assured, while working in Qingyuan Village, I maintained good relationships with several investors. When I invite them over, they will probably agree to invest. I’ve already invited them, and they will soon arrive."

Hearing that Ji Yang had already managed these aspects, everyone no longer had objections. Anyway, Ji Yang would handle these matters, and they just had to avoid being disgraceful.

Seeing that no one else had comments, Ji Yang said, "Okay, the Springwater Xincheng Construction Project starts now. Let me arrange some tasks for everyone..."
