This was just an ordinary day, yet it marked the beginning of the International Labor Day, as well as the start of the Golden Week holidays in Huaxia Nation.

However, at this moment, for Chunan Province, it was an extraordinary day; today marked the official opening of the fourth Huaxia Travel Expo.

Early in the morning, the entrance to the Chunan Province International Convention and Exhibition Center was already swarming with people. In the massive parking lot in front of the center–capable of accommodating thousands of vehicles–every parking space was filled, with more cars parked along both sides of the perimeter road.

The Chunan International Convention and Exhibition Center, already connected to Chunan Radio and Film Center, Chunan Joy World, and Ocean Park, naturally saw the most visitors during the Golden Week. The presence of so many cars was no longer a surprise.

Along the roadside, traffic police were stationed at every intersection, ensuring smooth traffic flow. In front of the center, about a dozen ordinary staff members from the Hongjiang Province delegation were distributing flyers, handing out promotional materials to passersby and members of various delegations and exhibitors.

Upon entering, after passing the main exhibition booth of the National Tourism Administration, the booths of Hongjiang and Chunan Province were set up facing each other, in what could essentially be considered the best location in the whole convention center. As soon as guests entered, they would inevitably see the Hongjiang booth.

At this point, the Hongjiang booth was bustling with a steady stream of people, as if a market were in full swing. Accompanying them were Hongjiang Province’s Director of Commerce Huang Zhiyuan and Director of Tourism Zhou Danian, who were both busy entertaining merchants from all over.

“Old Huang, I’m afraid this won’t do,” Zhou Danian said after just having finished entertaining a representative from a travel agency, with both sides leaving contact information and a preliminary intention reached. “If we go on like this for the seven days of the expo, I fear we won’t be able to withstand it by the end.”

Zhou Danian, currently wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, involuntarily wiped the sweat from his forehead as he spoke to Huang Zhiyuan, who had just stood up beside him.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a voice came from beside them, “Comrade Danian, what’s not going to work? It seems to me that our Hongjiang booth is the most popular one here.”

Turning his head, Zhou Danian saw Wen Baogui walking in, accompanied by Zhou Chuanjia, the deputy in charge. At this moment, both Wen Baogui and Zhou Chuanjia had smiles on their faces. The bustling scene at the Hongjiang booth was outstanding; while other province’s booths had fewer visitors, some like Ganzhou’s were devoid of activity. The contrast was stark.

Wen Baogui couldn’t and didn’t want to manage other people’s affairs, but the buzz at Hongjiang’s booth made him very happy. As the saying goes, “Appearance follows the heart.” At this moment, with Wen Baogui in high spirits, his complexion looked excellent.

His tone was cordial and kind as he spoke.

Beside him, Zhou Chuanjia also wore a smile and said, “Director Danian, does it feel like a dream to you?”

The attitudes of the two leaders made Zhou Danian quite relaxed, and he replied with a smile, “Director Wen, Deputy Director Zhou, just now, Director Huang and I were discussing that if this continues for seven days, I’m afraid our delegation’s staff won’t be able to handle such intense work.”

Zhou Danian continued to explain, “Director Wen, just moments ago, we tentatively agreed to meet with four enterprises, three of which are travel agencies and one is a tourism investment company. We’ll negotiate this evening after today’s exhibition concludes, and there will probably be more of these meetings. Thus, our staff will have to manage the booth during the day and arrange business negotiations at night. We fear that before the expo ends, both our leaders and ordinary staff will be overwhelmed.”

Upon hearing this, Wen Baogui’s brows furrowed; the popularity of the Hongjiang booth was something he hadn’t anticipated.

Wen Baogui was surprised by this, but even more delighted. Secretary Nie’s plan for Hongjiang’s development was focused on tourism as a breakthrough point. The current buzz at the expo was all within Secretary Nie’s control. These business negotiations represented investment agreements and capital introductions.

After a quick calculation, all these were solid political achievements for Wen Baogui. Recently, He Yusheng had made progress–Moving Mountain Group had settled in Hongjiang, putting He Yusheng ahead of him. At this moment, Wen Baogui was paying even more meticulous attention to the travel expo, striving for perfection and leaving no room for error.

After pondering for a moment, Wen Baogui nodded and said, “This is indeed a problem. Comrade Zhou Chuanjia, Director Danian’s forecast seems very accurate. It’s wise to prepare beforehand. Today isn’t even the peak day of the expo, and if we continue like this, even an iron man would buckle.”

Zhou Chuanjia agreed and nodded. Since Nie Zhenbang had taken office in Hongjiang a few months ago, Zhou Chuanjia, the standing deputy, had been very low-key.

However, at this moment, Zhou Chuanjia’s heart was somewhat stirred as well. As the leader in charge of tourism, the tremendous development of tourism naturally included a portion of his achievements.

Do not underestimate these achievements, in the future, at some critical moments, these achievements could very well play a decisive factor.

“I also feel that if this continues, no one can bear it, working day and night without distinction, which is a very difficult thing. Sir, I think we should do this, make a phone call home, and draw another batch of people from the Commerce Department, Tourism Bureau, and the government side to form two shifts,” Zhou Chuanjia suggested his opinion.

After pondering for a moment, Wen Baogui nodded and said, “Good, I think that’s a suitable way to handle it.”

With that, Wen Baogui turned to Zhou Danian and Huang Zhiyuan beside him and said, “Comrades Danian and Zhiyuan, I think you should call home now, immediately draw staff, and rush them over as soon as possible.”

…

In the afternoon, inside the dedicated business negotiation meeting room of the International Convention and Exhibition Center, Wen Baogui, representing Hongjiang Province, conducted a business negotiation with a group of ten corporate representatives from the Huaxia (International) Travel Agency Group based in Jingcheng.

“Mr. Wen, the tourism resources of Hongjiang have greatly exceeded our expectations, we really did not expect that, in addition to well-known attractions such as Lushan, Cidu, and the famous Taoist mountains, Hongjiang has such distinctive tourism resources. This time, we hope to have a good prospect of cooperation with Hongjiang Province,” General Manager Zhang from Huaxia Nation Travel expressed with an astonished tone.

Wen Baogui responded with a light smile and then said, “General Manager Zhang, first of all, I represent Hongjiang Province, on behalf of our Secretary Nie, to express our sincerest welcome to General Manager Zhang and his delegation. We welcome Huaxia Nation Travel to open up new routes and invest in the construction of new attractions in Hongjiang.”

Subsequently, the two sides went through numerous intense clashes and negotiations. On some core issues, both Hongjiang and Huaxia Nation Travel wanted to increase their own benefits as much as possible.

On the side of Hongjiang Province, naturally, they hoped to solve more local employment issues in the future scenic areas. As for Huaxia Nation Travel, they were entangled with the issue of operating rights.

Eventually, both parties made concessions. Huaxia Nation Travel officially invested three billion yuan to participate in the development of Shangqing Mountain in Songzhou, obtaining the tourism franchise rights for 25 years. Moreover, Huaxia Nation Travel agreed to organize one thousand tourist group visits to Hongjiang each year.

Following that, the two parties formally signed the investment agreement at the International Convention and Exhibition Center. This was also the first intention agreement reached at the entire tourism expo, which signaled a good start with an initial investment plan of nearly eight hundred million yuan.

…

Jingtian International Hotel.

Room 1317, this was Nie Zhenbang’s room at Jingtian Hotel. It was already past seven o’clock in the evening. After dinner in the room, Wen Baogui, Zhou Chuanjia, Zhou Danian, and Huang Zhiyuan were all seated.

Xu Hongzhuan and Hong Feng were at the side. Wen Baogui’s face was ruddy, and his smile reached his eyes. Seeing this, Nie Zhenbang smiled and said, “Comrade Baogui, it seems you’ve had quite a harvest today. Look, the smile is written all over your face.”

Nie Zhenbang’s words made Wen Baogui feel somewhat embarrassed, and he smiled, saying, “Mr. Nie, you caught me in a joyous moment. This day has been the happiest since I took on leadership. This time, our Hongjiang has truly had a chance to hold our heads high and breathe easy.”

Continuing, Wen Baogui said, “Secretary Nie, today, after a day’s effort, we in Hongjiang have signed ten intention agreements, attracting a total investment of over 1.5 billion yuan. Additionally, this evening, four rounds of business negotiations are still in progress, which is completely beyond our expectations.”

Wen Baogui’s excitement did not spread to Nie Zhenbang. Having seen and known much, this amount of investment was not considered much to Nie Zhenbang. He had anticipated this situation, and after musing for a while, Nie Zhenbang smiled and said, “In business negotiations, we still need to be cautious. The first principle is to maintain a scientific development perspective and adhere to the principle of sustainable development, which are imperative. Aside from these two aspects, in attracting investments, we need to showcase Hongjiang’s sincerity, welcoming business with open arms. As the host, we must exhibit our attitude and sincerity to make the guests trust us. This is the only way to earn at least basic trust from the other party.”

At this point, including Wen Baogui and Zhou Chuanjia, all the leading officials nodded slightly in agreement. At this moment, however, a knock on the door was heard from outside. Upon opening the door and seeing the person standing there, while others were still puzzled, Nie Zhenbang quickly stood up. (To be continued.
