Rekindle 2003

Chapter 1040 Investment but...

As night falls in Jincheng, the lights come on and the neon lights on both sides of the street flash charmingly.

Qing Yun took Xiao Ya for a stroll on the streets of the city, enjoying their rare leisure time.

Instead of going to the bustling commercial district, they chose a relatively quiet street to feel the unique charm of this city.

The experts continued their discussions in the conference room of Feitian Hotel, but Qing Yun still had no choice but to stay away.

Although he was eager to return to the long-lost academic discussion atmosphere, he knew that as the chairman, he must learn to focus on the big picture and let go of the small details.

With him present, there will be no academic freedom at all.

His identity has changed. He is no longer the expert who spoke eloquently at academic conferences in his previous life, but a host who provides tea breaks.

You can no longer be an academic giant, nor can you be an academic half-hearted or an academic monk.

Even if he returns his main focus to scientific research after a while, he will not be able to become an academic cockroach.

Because his name is Qingyun.

Mr. Xiaoqing of Yanhuang Group.

Some fun things have to be given up.

Emperor Yun said that it was hard to describe the delicious food in Jincheng.

Jincheng Ramen, this world-famous name, cannot be found in Jincheng.

There is only beef noodles here, the rich soup and chewy noodles are unforgettable.

Tonight, they chose a famous local mutton restaurant. The tender and juicy mutton, paired with special seasonings, made the security guards who followed them feast on it.

After eating and drinking, the two strolled along the streets of Jincheng.

They did not go to Jincheng University, even though it was a 985 university, but Qingyun had no classmates there.

Although Shishi Middle School is not as good as Jincheng No. 211 Middle School, it still has many students every year, but in fact, the children of Shishi Middle School are relatively smarter or more utilitarian than those of Jincheng No. Middle School.

After all, it is a government-run school, and parents know more about it. Many of the strong 211 schools’ advantageous subjects have much better prospects than those of the inferior 985 schools.

Qing Yun and Xiao Ya strolled on the streets of Jincheng. They had no specific destination, they just walked casually, enjoying the tranquility and freedom.

They passed by some small stalls and the stall owners greeted them warmly. They would also stop to buy some snacks or chat with the stall owners to feel the customs and culture of this city.

After walking around for a while, Qing Yun also felt bored. This bland street scene didn't seem to arouse his interest.

Nothing to see.

At the beginning of the century, China was severely polarized. Some cities were changing with each passing day and had begun to take on the appearance of later metropolises, while some cities were not much different from those in the 1980s and 1990s.

Obviously, Jincheng is the latter.

At the beginning of the century, Jincheng had no advantages over the cities built in Guizhou Province on the southwestern border, and was even slightly lacking in terms of the atmosphere of local life.

Upon seeing this, security chief Yang Bingnan suggested going to Jincheng Old Street and the night market.

Qing Yun was about to agree, but Xiao Ya, who was holding his fingers tightly, squeezed his hand without saying a word.

Emperor Yun reacted instantly, smiled and shook his head, and asked Yang Bingnan where else they could go.

Well, Sister Xiaoya didn't want to cause trouble for the security work. After all, this is in the Northwest. Although Jincheng has arranged plainclothes police to follow like other areas, going to the downtown area will indeed cause trouble for others.

Second, she was worried that someone would take a photo of her and expose her.

Yang Bingnan asked the Longyou people in the security team, and they said constipatedly: "At this time, only the Yellow River Mother Statue is open to the public."

Emperor Yun actually understood the helplessness in his words.

Jincheng really doesn’t have many tourist resources.

To be honest, when it comes to Jincheng, many people outside Jincheng probably don't regard it as a tourist city. There are no nationally renowned mountains and rivers, nor world-famous scenic spots and historical sites here.

Yang Bingnan was ready to go home, but Qing Yun seemed interested and suggested going to see the Yellow River Mother Sculpture.

This shocked Yang Bingnan and others.

As everyone knows, the word "parents" is a taboo in front of Xiao Qing, who is a de facto orphan, and no one dares to mention it.

what is it today?
Yang Bingnan looked at Xiao Ya beside Qing Yun calmly, and he understood something in his heart.

It seems that this young lady wants to go, which is why Mr. Xiaoqing made this suggestion.

Yang Bingnan didn't ask any more questions and immediately arranged a vehicle to go to the Yellow River Mother Sculpture, but he complained in his heart that the person was a henpecked man.

The car traveled through the night and soon arrived at the location of the Yellow River Mother Sculpture.

The Mother Yellow River sculpture appears particularly solemn in the night, and under the light, it appears even more kind and great.

Qing Yun and Xiao Ya stood in front of the sculpture, watching it quietly and feeling the themes of maternal love and life conveyed by the sculpture.

Emmm...

Well, it’s mainly Sister Xiaoya who feels it.

Emperor Yun was holding a cigarette in his mouth, looking nonchalant.

The security guards stayed far away and didn't bother them.

While no one was around, Xiao Ya gently leaned on Qing Yun's shoulder and whispered, "This sculpture is really beautiful. It reminds me of my mother."

Qing Yun smiled slightly, put his arm around her shoulders, and responded softly: "Yes, very beautiful." A hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes. Although he had never seen his parents, at this moment, he felt a different emotion.

He was waiting for Sister Xiaoya's next words.

He had never heard Xiao Ya talk about her parents.

Xiao Ya did not talk about her parents, but turned to look at Qing Yun.

With a hint of inquiry in her eyes, she softly raised her question: "I have a question. Since you are already in Longyou, why don't you go to the Northeast?"

Qing Yun's nationwide tour is nearing its end. Although it is called the whole country, there are still several provinces that he has not visited. The three northeastern provinces are one of them. This makes Xiao Ya very confused.

Qing Yun put his hand on Xiao Ya's shoulder, and with his index and middle fingers, he lightly pinched and pulled, and the zipper of Xiao Ya's down jacket slid down a little while the confused Xiao Ya was still in doubt.

A dirty hand quietly touched her collar, feeling the roundness and warmth under her shoulder.

He kept a serious expression on his face, but the small movements of his hands revealed his inner unruly nature.

"To be honest, the three northeastern provinces are not suitable for doing business."

Xiao Ya's cheeks flushed due to his sudden action.

She looked around vigilantly to make sure no one noticed their little movements, while at the same time she slapped Qingyun's dishonest hand in embarrassment.

"Be honest! Take it out!"

Xiao Ya scolded half-seriously, with a playful gleam in her fox eyes, as if she was enjoying this intimate play.

Although she was wearing thermal underwear, she had to admit that his hands did give her an indescribable feeling.

Qing Yun chuckled, "How could that be possible? I am just feeling the wonders of nature."

Xiao Ya snorted lightly and twisted her shoulders left and right, trying to get rid of the mischievous hand.

"Stop joking, let's be serious, you haven't answered my question yet!"

Xiao Ya finally couldn't bear it anymore. She grabbed Qing Yun's hand and bit it.

No pain.

Qing Yun chuckled and restrained himself a little.

He knew very well that it didn't hurt now, but if he didn't control the pain, then severe pain would be waiting for him.

As soon as they established a relationship, Sister Xiaoya made him understand why the country's first shelter for men suffering from domestic violence was in Shengjing, Northeast China.

What a tiger!
Seeing that he behaved himself, Xiao Ya turned her face and rolled her eyes at him: "You look down on people from the Northeast, don't you?"

What do you mean it’s not suitable for doing business? It’s just because people dislike the poverty of Northeast China!
No matter how poor the Northeast is, it is still better than Longyou right now!

Since you’ve come to a place like Longyou, why not go to the Northeast!
Qing Yun shook his head upon hearing this and said sternly, "How can that be possible? The Northeast, especially your hometown Youzhou, is the eldest son of the Republic and has made great contributions to the development and prosperity of our country."

The three northeastern provinces have played an extremely important role in our industrialization process.

As a core province in the Northeast, Youzhou was once the country's industrial base and enjoyed the reputation of "the eldest son of the Republic".

There, our first molten steel, first car, first airplane, first 10,000-ton ship, first nuclear submarine, first missile, first satellite were produced...

There was a hint of respect in Qing Yun's voice, "Youzhou's heavy industry has made great contributions to the country's industrialization and national defense construction.

Since the First Five-Year Plan, Youzhou has been a region of key national investment. A large number of factories and enterprises have been established here, providing a strong material foundation for the country's economic development.

The black soil in Northeast China is also an important grain production base in my country, and the grain produced each year supplies the entire country.

Moreover, I like the generosity, frankness and enthusiasm of the people in Northeast China."

emmm...especially Sister Xiaoya.

At this moment, the tigress surnamed Xiao listened to Qing Yun's words and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

But she became even more confused, "Then why do you say that the Northeast is not suitable for doing business?"

Faced with Xiao Ya's question, Qing Yun shrugged helplessly, his eyes revealing a complex emotion.

The Northeast does face some challenges in doing business, which are often attributed to the fact that "the soil is not suitable for doing business."

The investment cannot pass the xx level.

For a long time, this has been an iron rule that countless entrepreneurs and investors have verified with their life-long efforts.

At the end of the last century, the economic development of Northeast China was affected by many factors.

“First, Northeast China has long relied on heavy industry and resource-based industries, which makes the regional economy vulnerable to market changes and resource depletion.

When traditional industries encounter difficulties, the development of emerging industries lags behind and is unable to fill the gap in economic growth.

Secondly, the three northeastern provinces are experiencing a very serious population loss crisis.

Aging, declining birthrate and loss of young people are occurring simultaneously.

You should know that most of your childhood friends are probably not in the Northeast now, right?"

Having said that, Qing Yun looked at Xiao Ya deeply.

Sister Xiaoya's face looked very bleak, but she did not comment.
