After a few months, Lin Yuan came to Jiwang Town again. When he entered Pingtan County, Lin Yuan could clearly feel the changes in the entire Pingtan County.
When he came to Pingtan County last year, Lin Yuan remembered that the county seat was very dilapidated. Many streets in the county were in disrepair and had potholes. However, when he came to Pingtan County this time, he found that many streets in Pingtan County were in poor condition.
They have all been renovated, and many places in Pingtan County are under construction. The county town, which was not very prosperous at first, has become lively.
The car drove onto the road leading to Jiwang Town. The original dilapidated road had long since disappeared, replaced by a newly built asphalt road. There were many cars on the four-lane road.
Lin Yuan still remembers that when he first came to Jiwang Town, cars with a lower chassis could not travel with him. Cars with poor performance would basically break down halfway, either losing sight or having a tire blowout.
Everyone who walks in Jiwang Town has experience and would not dare to walk casually without bringing a spare tire.
Looking at the cars coming and going on the highway now, people who know about them know that they are going to a small town, while those who don't know think that they are going to a provincial capital.
Last time, Lin Yuan set off from Jiangzhong early in the morning and stayed in Pingtan County for a whole day in the evening. He arrived at Jiwang Town the next day. The reason for the delay was mainly because he was afraid of walking at night. However, this time Lin Yuan
We went directly to Jiwang Town and did not stop in Pingtan County. It was only two o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at Jiwang Town.
Lin Yuan was even more surprised when he entered Jiwang Town. The original shabby town had changed drastically. The only thing he was familiar with was the original archway of Jiwang Town and the two lines of words on both sides of the archway: Good Feng Shui in Jiwang Town, Hope.
King Ji became the champion.
The urban area of Jiwang Town has also expanded a lot than before, and a development zone has even been built around it. Town-level development zones are rare in the entire Jiangzhou Province.
Compared with Pingtan County, Jiwang Town has undergone greater changes. Companies have already settled in the development zone, many small restaurants have opened in the town, and various hotels and guesthouses have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
When Lin Yuan came to Jiwang Town for the first time, there was not even a place to stay overnight in Jiwang Town, and he had to find a nearby fellow to stay overnight. This time, accommodation was not a problem at all.
Wang Zhanjun drove his car and stopped in front of a well-decorated star-rated hotel in Jiwang Town. The hotel was just completed. It was a five-story building with a very nice decoration. He parked in the spacious parking lot in front of the hotel.
Many of the cars had license plates from other places.
As soon as Lin Yuan and Wang Zhanjun got out of the car, Lei Shenglin responded with a smile: "Lin Yuan, you are here, I have been waiting for most of the day."
"I set out in the morning, why can't I arrive until the afternoon?" Lin Yuan said with a smile. This hotel is opened by Lei Shenglin. To be precise, it is an industry under the Zhengyuan Group. Lin Yuan is the real owner of this hotel.
.
Lin Yuan followed Lei Shenglin into the hotel, looking around as he walked. The hotel was considered a three-star hotel, but in fact it was completely decorated according to a four-star standard. More than 20 million yuan was invested in the entire hotel.
I have to say that Lei Shenglin is really very skillful. Lin Yuan originally invested 20 million in Jiwang Town, mainly to invest in land, and then handed it over to Lei Shenglin for operation. Lei Shenglin used the land for loans, and then invested in hotels.
Because of the opportunity, this hotel is considered to be the earliest star-rated hotel built in Jiwang Town.
Now the hotel has only been officially open for a month, and its monthly turnover has reached about 8 million, with a net profit of 5 million. And with the development of Jiwang Town and the increase in the number of companies settling here, the hotel's profits will still be in the short term.
It will continue to grow, and according to Lei Shenglin's estimate, the cost should be recovered within three months.
Of course, as the number of star-rated hotels in Jiwang Town increases in the future, Zhengyuan Hotel will also face diversion, but Zhengyuan Hotel has its own advantages and can make a name for itself in Jiwang Town early.
At present, there are many guest houses and hotels in Jiwang Town, but there are also many investors coming here. Many people are not willing to stay in small guest houses. At least in a short period of time, the hotel business is definitely booming.
Lei Shenglin arranged a luxurious business suite for Lin Yuan in the hotel. Originally, Lei Shenglin planned to let Lin Yuan live in the presidential suite, but Lin Yuan refused. That's what housing means, and a business suite is good.
There is no need to waste resources.
"Let me calculate, I haven't been to Jiwang Town for about half a year. Jiwang Town has changed so much." Lin Yuan stood in front of the window of the room, looking at the bustling buildings not far away.
Many construction sites couldn't help but sigh.
"The changes in Jiwang Town are changing day by day. Not to mention you haven't been here for half a year. Last time I came home for a week, I almost ended up in the wrong place." Lei Shenglin said with a smile.
People often say that an industry and a brand can drive the economy of a place. This is absolutely true. A single ginseng grass has brought about earth-shaking changes in Jiwang Town.
"I didn't pay attention to this place in Jiwang Town before. After staying here for a long time, I realized that this place is a treasure. It has an elegant environment, pleasant scenery, and is very suitable for living." Lei Shenglin said.
Lin Yuan smiled and said nothing. Looking across the country, there are definitely many places like Jiwang Town, with elegant environments and pleasant scenery. Apart from some developed scenic spots, they are actually remote places with inconvenient transportation like Jiwang Town.
The main reason is that there is no pollution here and many things are original.
In the past, Jiwang Town did not have this ability. Road construction and development all required money. Road construction alone was a big investment, if nothing else. If it was just for tourism, it would not be worth it. However, the discovery of ginseng grass has made it a big investment.
It happened to drive the development of other industries in Jiwang Town. The resort villa invested by Zhao Jilong and Jin Wuhui will be completed in the second half of the year, and it will definitely attract many people to Jiwang Town.
Lin Yuan and Lei Shenglin chatted for a while, and then Dang Shaobo arrived. They hadn’t seen each other for a while. Dang Shaobo was a little darker, but he was more energetic. When he entered the door, he laughed and said: "Brother Lin, you
You are very incompetent. I haven’t been here for half a year to build this place up. How about it? Are you surprised to come here this time?”
"But I was very surprised. I almost didn't recognize the changes. I thought I was in a developed city." Lin Yuan said with a smile.
"Jiwang Town is developing too fast now. As far as I know, Jiangzhou Province has already planned to upgrade Jiwang Town to a county seat. Maybe Jiwang Town may develop into a county-level city in the future." Dang Shaobo laughed.
road.
"This is a good thing." Lin Yuan chuckled. The situation of several towns around Jiwang Town is actually similar to that of Jiwang Town. The current development of Jiwang Town has also affected the surrounding areas. If the current situation continues to develop, the small town will
Although it is a small town, there is not much to see.
Moreover, some experts from the institute have discovered that not only Mount Kiwang, but also several mountain ranges around Mount Kiwang are suitable for the growth of ginseng grass. When the time comes to expand the planting base, it will inevitably extend to the surrounding areas.
After a while, Ji Xiaodong also came. Now Ji Xiaodong is the mayor of Jiwang Town. Compared with last year, Ji Xiaodong is less decadent, more energetic, and full of energy.
Lin Yuan remembered that when he met Ji Xiaodong last year, Ji Xiaodong was wearing a white-washed Chinese tunic suit and looked like an old farmer in the countryside. This time Ji Xiaodong was wearing a suit and looked much younger.
"The parents are here, Mayor Ji looks like he has gained weight." Lin Yuan stood up with a smile and shook hands with Ji Xiaodong.
"Doctor Lin is scolding me. Being fat means that I have not done my duty." Ji Xiaodong laughed, holding Lin Yuan's hand with both hands, with a smile on his face. For Lin Yuan, Ji Xiaodong was grateful from the bottom of his heart.
, without Lin Yuan, Jiwang Town would not be what it is today.
Ji Xiaodong still remembers that last year, he just wanted to get some equipment and medicinal materials for the health center. He went to Jiangzhong City and found Xinyuan Charity with the mentality of giving it a try. He never thought that that time would completely change Ji Xiaodong's life.
Wang Zhen's fate also changed Ji Xiaodong's fate.
Dang Shaobo heard about the possible upgrade of Jiwang Town, and Ji Xiaodong naturally heard about it. When Jiwang Town is upgraded to Jiwang County, most of the current town leadership team will not make major adjustments.
It is very likely that a town mayor will be promoted to county magistrate. At that time, he will jump two levels in a row, from a regular subject to a regular position.
It would be even more amazing if Wang Town could become Jiwang City in a few years. A county-level city is half a level higher than a county town. The mayor of a county-level city is at the deputy department level. Ji Xiaodong has never thought about himself.
One day he may become a deputy department leader or mayor.
Of course, what makes Ji Xiaodong most gratified is the changes in Jiwang Town. Originally, Jiwang Town was a poor county, relying on relief funds every year to survive. The lives of the people in the town were tight, and the only middle school in the town was also dilapidated.
It's unbearable, and the town health center is even more miserable.
But now, the new teaching building of the town middle school is being built, and the new town hospital is also being built. This year alone, Jiwang Town's revenue from land development alone has reached several hundred million, which Ji Xiaodong never dared to imagine before.
"Haha, I don't dare to scold Mayor Ji." Lin Yuan chuckled.
"Dr. Lin, this time you come, you must have a good time in Jiwang Town. Jiwang Town has changed a lot now. Investors have already settled in the new development zone, and three bank branches in the town are also in preparation.
The new teaching building will be ready for use in the second half of this year."
Ji Xiaodong was very excited when talking about this. Let’s not talk about anything else. Just talk about banks. In the past, Jiwang Town only had one post office and cooperative credit union. There were no banks willing to settle here. But now, there are already three banks that want to settle here.
The establishment of branch points in Jiwang Town proves that Jiwang Town has taken off.
"Haha, I will definitely stay in Jiwang Town for a few more days this time." Lin Yuan chuckled, but after all, since he discovered the ginseng grass, he really didn't have much time to come to Jiwang Town and see Jiwang Mountain.
