Chapter 1176 The World is So Big (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
Everything can only come alive when it is in flow.

If water does not flow, it will become stagnant. If air does not flow, it will become stale. Money must flow to gain vitality and achieve the multiplication of wealth.

“… Everything in the world is like this. Only when it flows can it bring wealth.”

In the director's office of the National Tourism Administration, Zhang Songjie glanced at the section chiefs in front of him and said:
"The same is true for people. Only by moving around can people be energetic. This is also the fundamental reason why we are promoting the "National Travel Plan". Every Nanyang citizen must have a vacation, and the purpose of vacation is not to let them stay at home and lie in bed, but to let them go out, or in other words... let them spend money!"

As a capable man who came from the Ministry of Commerce, Zhang Songjie brought his habits from the Ministry of International Trade and Industry here. In fact, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry's vigorous and resolute style has always influenced various departments in Nanyang. After all, as the largest department, in the past decade or so, by leading the construction of Nanyang, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry has exported a large number of talents to various departments.

"Your Excellency said that what a qualified government needs to create is to allow everyone to share the dividends of development. Therefore, we have implemented national pensions and national health care, and encouraged and supported corporate employee stock ownership..."

Having worked in the Ministry of International Trade and Industry for so many years, Zhang Songjie is very clear about the original intention of formulating all this:
"Everything is done to ensure that money flows fairly into everyone's hands - every Nanyang citizen can get the due reward based on their own qualities! This is what we are working for - to create a better world!"

Although Zhang Songjie was not from the Allied Task Force, he knew very well how Nanyang made this promise and worked hard for it.

"Not only that, people should also be able to spend money boldly, and spending money is to enhance the liquidity of money. Only when money flows can we achieve the continuous growth of social wealth and promote the development of the entire society. ..."

This theory of wealth flow and social wealth growth is not new, and can even be described as "the simplest way is the best." But the problem is that people always like to restrict it with various reasons.

Adjusting his glasses, Zhang Songjie said with great calmness:
"The National Travel Plan is to allow citizens to go out of their homes during their vacations, enjoy the joy of traveling with their families, relax their minds, and gain strength from happiness!"

Although "strength from joy" is a little incorrect, after all, it is derived from the Third Reich's plan, but it does not prevent Zhang Songjie from mentioning these. In fact, unlike the implicitness in the past, the current Nanyang does not deny that it has adopted many policies of the Third Reich, from the "Four-Year Plan" to "strength from joy", all of which are imitations of Germany. In fact, in terms of practical policies to promote consumption and welfare of the middle class, the Third Reich still has some merits.

"Chief Wang, how was our implementation effect last year?"

Hearing the director's question, Wang Youhua quickly said:

"Yes, Director. According to relevant statistics, last year, 2485 million people in Nanyang took vacations, accounting for 88.3% of the working population in Nanyang. Among them, 80.8% of the people chose to travel, of which 90% were domestic trips. The total expenditure of domestic tourists was 27.3 billion yuan. From the current point of view, after years of publicity and promotion, Nanyang people have basically formed the habit of taking vacations and traveling."

Among them, the Tang people had no habit or tradition of taking a vacation. They never had one! In the tradition of the Tang people, they worked and saved money, living like cattle, horses, and livestock all their lives. They never rested or relaxed.

For this reason, about eight years ago, in order to learn from Germany’s experience that “joy brings strength”, Nanyang launched the “National Leisure Plan”, with the aim of freeing people from busy clerical work, allowing them to relax, enjoy the good time with their families, enjoy the beauty of life, and appreciate the beautiful scenery of the world... Then, they can devote themselves to their work wholeheartedly.

After eight years of implementation and publicity, people in Nanyang are now gradually developing this habit, and this habit is also promoting the development of related industries and economy in Nanyang.

After forming the habit of traveling and the concept of consumption, people now travel domestically and even abroad. More and more Nanyang people go to the ski resorts in Kyushu and the nightclubs in Saigon. Even Nanyang tourists have begun to appear in Europe and even in the Soviet Union.

Nanyang people are changing little by little. Zhang Songjie, the director of the National Tourism Administration, is very clear about this, but he did not stop his work there. After asking the people about their travels, he pointed to the poster on the wall and said:

"It is our responsibility to promote and advance the national leisure travel plan. However, what is the purpose of establishing a national tourism bureau in Nanyang? It is to promote international tourism. While Nanyang people are traveling around the world, we also need to attract foreigners to travel to Nanyang. The Olympics... will be an opportunity to promote the development of Nanyang's tourism industry. We must show the best side of Nanyang to the world and attract them to travel to Nanyang."

Promoting international tourism is the fundamental reason for establishing the National Tourism Administration.

“For now, thanks to the implementation of the National Leisure Travel Plan, Nanyang has the best tourism infrastructure in Asia and even the world. However, it is well known that the National Leisure Travel Plan is semi-welfare, and all infrastructure operations are micro-profit operations.

Therefore, in this situation, we must promote international tourism and attract international tourists to spend money in Nanyang, so that the entire tourism industry can benefit from it. By doing so, talents in Nanyang can benefit from it.

The National Travel Plan will be able to continue for a longer period of time.”

When the director mentioned "benefit", everyone including Wang Youhua smiled knowingly. There are unspoken rules in Nanyang. What are the core unspoken rules?
Of course, "Nanyang people first" is the first priority, and this first priority is reflected in all aspects. In short, the interests of the people come first.

The so-called "taking advantage of the surplus and treating the deficiency" means using the consumption of international tourists to promote the development of Nanyang tourism, so as to better serve Nanyang tourists. This is natural and there is nothing wrong with it. After all, normal countries will do this.

"Director, we expect that more than 15 tourists from various countries will come to Nanyang during the Olympic Games. In order to better receive tourists from various countries, we are currently communicating with various departments..."

Afterwards, Wang Youhua reported on the preparations for receiving international tourists one by one.

Since the establishment of the National Tourism Administration at the beginning of the year, they have been studying how to use the Olympic Games to expand the international tourism market. Most of the reports also revolve around these aspects.

As the meeting came to an end, Zhang Songjie continued, "Everything seems to be going well now, but we need to pay attention to who we are serving."

Looking at everyone, he emphasized.

"In essence, we serve the people of Nanyang. International tourists are just one of our service objects. However, the foundation is still ourselves. This Olympics will attract many tourists from other cities to Chang'an. There will be many tourists from all over the world, and many of them may come to Chang'an for the first time, so we must do a good job of reception. After all, a bad travel experience will not only affect their mood, but also their views on a city and even the entire trip. Therefore, serving them well is the most important thing."

Before he became the director of the National Tourism Administration, Zhang Songsongjie had heard your instructions. The school's instructions were mostly focused on the travel experience, such as locals bullying newcomers, and scenic spots selling at high prices, etc. However, as far as Zhang Songjie knew, these things would never happen. Because the laws of Nanyang are not for show, the police, courts, and lawyers are not either, especially lawyers are happy to fight such a sure-win lawsuit.

But there are always some things that need to be said. After all, we must take precautions before anything happens.

After the meeting, Wang Youhua thought for a while and said to the director.

"Commissioner, there is one thing I don't know whether I should say or not."

Zhang Songjie laughed.

"What's so bad about that? Just say whatever you want to say."

"Ok!"

Nodding, Wang Youhua took out a newspaper from the folder, or more precisely, a newspaper clipping. After handing it to the director, he said:

"Chief, look at this."

Taking the clipping, Zhang Songjie took a look at it. The news headline on the briefing read: "Nanyang Enters the Colorful Era."

I took a quick look at the news, and the news said that tomorrow the TV stations in Nanyang will start broadcasting color TV signals, which means that Nanyang will become the second country after the United States to enter the era of color TV programs, and the United States was in 57.

Zhang Songjie said:
"The best-selling product on the market now is color TV. The era of black and white TV is over."

In fact, it ended a few years ago. Zhang Songjie, who was working in the Ministry of Trade and Industry at the time, knew very well that the production of color TVs had exceeded that of black-and-white TVs seven years ago, but at that time they were mainly exported to the United States.

But in the past three years, with the increase of national income level and the decrease of color TV price, color TV has entered thousands of households. Under such circumstances, it is natural for TV stations to adopt color signals.

"I know this is inevitable progress, but I wonder, with the advent of television, especially color television, in the future, will many people choose to watch TV at home instead of traveling?"

Wang Youhua said with some concern.

"After all, now that we've just developed this habit of traveling, will television bring people back to the living room?"

Facing the concerns of his subordinates, Zhang Songjie took another look at the clippings, which were in color and clearer. Such news programs would surely be more attractive, thinking of the scene of children sitting in front of the TV all day long.

While feeling a little worried, Zhang Songjie thought of the children’s happy smiles when they were traveling, and the way they felt completely relaxed.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said:

"The world is so big, and we always want to see it. Television only allows us to see the world more intuitively, but in the end, we still want to experience and feel the world in person, which requires us to step out of the living room and see the world."

As he said this, Zhang Songjie once again looked at the briefing and said:

"It may be a good thing for us, because through television, people will know that the world is so wonderful. Color TV will show the most gorgeous and wonderful side of the world to the world. When you see all that, don't you want to go out?"

Well, thinking of this, Zhang Songjie nodded and said.

“Maybe we can work with TV stations to bring more travel shows to draw people out of their living rooms.”
