"Abyss Beach Club?" Xiang Yang frowned and thought carefully before saying, "From the name, it seems like a club."
"I can tell from the looks of it that you haven't heard of it. Actually, I just heard of it too." Village Chief Zuo said, "Last night, the general manager of the Abyss Beach Club called me. He said he was very optimistic about the tourism development prospects of Qinglongwan and was willing to cooperate with us."
"Are you willing?" Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows. "Did he tell you the specific method of cooperation?"
"He did." Village Chief Zuo said somewhat awkwardly, "But he said too much, so I forgot most of it. I only remember that he said he was willing to provide us with a batch of beach project equipment for free."
"Do you agree?" Xiang Yang asked.
"How is that possible?" Village Chief Zuo waved his hands quickly. "How can I easily agree to such an important matter? This requires everyone to hold a meeting and vote before making a decision."
"So you rejected him?" Xiang Yang asked again.
"How is that possible?" Village Chief Zuo waved his hand again. "Someone is willing to invest in Qinglongwan. This is a great thing. As the village chief, how could I refuse?"
Xiang Yang suddenly had an idea and he had roughly guessed the whole cause and effect.
It's nothing more than some unknown beach club, through some unknown channel, learned about the news that Qinglongwan was building an Internet celebrity incubation center and a seaside hotel, and then wanted to come in and get a piece of the pie.
Then they got the phone number of Village Chief Zuo from somewhere and told him that they wanted to invest in Qinglongwan. Xiang Yang didn't know the specific investment method, but in short, Village Chief Zuo was persuaded by the other party. However, he felt that this was a piece of cake and was afraid that the other party had set a trap for him, so he didn't dare to agree immediately, but came to discuss it with Xiang Yang.
"Uncle Zuo, why did you come to see me today?" Xiang Yang asked, pretending not to understand.
Village Chief Zuo hesitated for a while before saying, "Xiaoyang, let me be honest with you. I have been the village chief for almost ten years. In these ten years, I have not done anything for the villagers. The only right thing I did was to mobilize everyone to support you to go to college."
"Uncle Zuo, you run around for the whole village all day, and everyone sees it." Xiang Yang said hurriedly.
"I was just busy doing nothing. I seemed to be working diligently, but in fact, I did not benefit the villagers at all." Village Chief Zuo shook his head helplessly. "I am not very capable and my ability is limited, but I really want to do some practical things for everyone."
"To be honest, I am very excited that someone is willing to invest in Qinglongwan, because only by introducing investors can we have enough tourists to Qinglongwan, and Qinglongwan can develop better."
Village Chief Zuo rubbed his hands and said, "So yesterday on the phone, what I told the other party was that I hoped to have a face-to-face talk with them."
"What about the other party? What did they say?" Xiang Yang asked.
"They agreed." Village Chief Zuo said with a smile, "They said they would come to Qinglongwan this morning to discuss it with me in person. So I came to see you right away."
"Okay, I'll go with you and give you some advice." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
Village Chief Zuo was overjoyed upon hearing this. He grasped Xiang Yang's hand and said, "Xiao Yang, I knew you would not stand idly by at the critical moment, but you are wrong about one thing. I did not ask you to come here to check for me, but to ask you to make the full decision. In terms of brains, our entire village team combined cannot compare to you. In terms of contribution, let alone now, even if it was fifty or a hundred years ago, you would have made the greatest contribution to Qinglongwan in the entire village. Qinglongwan can be what it is today, and that is all due to you alone. You are the hope of our entire village."
Xiang Yang was immediately embarrassed, "Uncle Zuo, you are too kind."
"That's not too much." Village Chief Zuo opened his mouth as if he was about to give another long speech.
Xiang Yang was so scared that he quickly let go of Village Chief Zuo's hand, "Uncle Zuo, when will the other party come? I'll go change my clothes."
Village Chief Zuo scratched his head and said, "The other party didn't say when he would come. He only said he would come this morning."
"Guests coming from afar are welcome. Let's go to the village entrance to greet them. Regardless of whether the matter succeeds or not, we will set up a table for them at my house at noon. We cannot let outsiders pick out our conflicts over etiquette." Xiang Yang replied.
"I've always said that you're smart, Xiaoyang, and you're thoughtful. If my kid could ever be half as good as you, oh no, even one-tenth as good as you, I'd wake up laughing in my dreams." Village Chief Zuo clapped his hands, "But this is a public matter, how can I let you pay for it privately? We'll go to town to eat at noon."
"Okay." Xiang Yang didn't bother with this little thing. "Wait for me. I'll go change into something else."
Five minutes later, Xiang Yang changed into casual clothes and walked towards the village entrance with Village Chief Zuo.
Several people from the village office also went along with them.
A group of people were waiting at the entrance of the village, full of sincerity. An old man even suggested hanging a welcome banner. However, it would take some time to print out the banner, and it might be too late to do it now, so it was rejected by everyone in the end.
Time passes by every second.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
"Why haven't you come yet?" A village clerk was getting a little impatient waiting, and he urged Village Chief Zuo, "Old Zuo, why don't you give him another call?"
"We have called, and the other party said they are on the way." said Village Chief Zuo.
Half past ten.
The other party finally arrived. A pickup truck slowly drove into Yanlong Village. A tall woman in her thirties wearing sunglasses and a curly-haired young man got out of the car.
"Are you from the Abyss Beach Club? I'm the village chief of this village, my surname is Zuo." Village Chief Zuo took the initiative to step forward and stretched out his hand.
"Yes, it's us." The woman didn't shake hands with Village Chief Zuo, but looked at the curly-haired young man and frowned, "Xiao Wu, is this the Qinglongwan you mentioned? It doesn't look like a tourist area at all. Are you sure we want to invest here?"
Village Chief Zuo looked a little embarrassed.
Xiang Yang frowned slightly.
The faces of the village clerks behind him all looked unhappy.
The woman didn't wait for the curly-haired young man to answer before looking directly at Village Chief Zuo and said, "Forget it, since we're already here and we've already talked on the phone, let's cut to the chase. Although Qinglongwan doesn't look very good now, as long as you cooperate with me, I'm sure I can turn Qinglongwan into a tourist area with huge traffic. I can provide you with beach entertainment facilities worth three million for free, and I'll do a lot of publicity and advertising for you."
As she spoke, the woman took out a thick contract from her bag and said, "This is the contract. Take a look. If you think it's okay, sign it."
