Chapter 263 Build a Factory

"Mr. Qingxi's '747 Economic Development Plan' is really inspiring," said Kim Hee-yeol, sitting sideways on the sofa in the An family's living room, facing An Rusong's position, "especially the pragmatic strategy throughout the entire plan. This is the policy strategy that the Republic of Korea needs most and most urgently now."

Facing the talkative Kim Hee-yeol, An Rushong always had a smile on his face. He did not interrupt, but took a pack of cigarettes and distributed cigarettes to everyone present. Even Luo Jinggeng and Luo Zaixun, father and son, who had had an unpleasant argument with him before, got one each.

"However, the development plan proposed by Mr. Qingxi is, after all, macroscopic and focuses on the entire Republic of Korea," Jin Xilie took the cigarette handed over by An Rusong and held it between his fingers. Then, as he continued to speak, he took out a lighter from his pocket and rushed to light the cigarette for An Rusong. "For our Sudong-myeon, or even for the entire Geojin-eup, it does not have much guiding significance, at least not directly."

His words were not meant to discredit Li Minbo, but were the truth. In fact, the so-called "747 Economic Development Plan" announced by Li Minbo is only a rough blueprint. To put it more bluntly, it is just a big picture for the people. How to achieve the goals in the plan and whether they can be truly achieved are not mentioned at all. It is just a macro roadmap.

Sudong-myeon is a "township". Even the superior administrative district of Sudong-myeon, Geojin-eup, is only equivalent to a county. Therefore, no matter whether it is the mayor of Geojin-eup or Kim Hee-yeol, the mayor of Sudong-myeon, it is impossible for them to talk about the overall situation to the people under their jurisdiction, because they are in too grassroots level.

The grassroots are directly facing the people. If Kim Hee-yeol wants to continue to gain the support of the people of Sudong-myeon, he must let the more than 10,000 people under his rule see tangible benefits during his term of office. If he makes empty promises like Lee Min-bo did, he will not only fail to gain the support of the people, but may also get himself beaten.

Therefore, what Kim Hee-yeol meant was that the economic development plan proposed by Lee Min-bo is very good and instructive, but when applied to grassroots places like Sudong-myeon, such a plan is unconvincing. What the grassroots need is something real.

Just by hearing the other party's words, An Rushong understood what he meant. There was no doubt that Jin Xilie's purpose was the same as Liu Shanyong's.

As the director of Enping District Office, Liu Shanyong tried his best to invite NGN Company to build its data center and headquarters in Enping District in order to achieve political achievements. For this purpose, he even provided NGN Company with cheap commercial land.

Will NGN's relocation to Enping District bring any benefits to the local area? Of course there are benefits. First, the relocation of NGN will increase the tax revenue of Enping District.

Secondly, although the relocation of NGN Company cannot provide direct jobs for Enping District, it can provide indirect jobs for the region.

For example, after NGN Company moves into Enping District, will its employees buy or rent houses in Enping District? Will they consume locally? Will the move of NGN Company increase the local land price? All these can bring certain jobs to Enping District.

Therefore, these are the most direct purposes for Liu Shanyong to go to great lengths to bring NGN Company to Enping District.

As for Kim Hee-yeol, it is certainly impossible for him to ask An Rusong to move NGN to Sudong-myeon. That is simply unrealistic and he does not have such big ambitions.

The entire Sudong-myeon has less than 2500 li under its jurisdiction, and the total population is just over . NGN's valuation is now over billion won. If such a company moves to Sudong-myeon, what does that mean? Sudong-myeon cannot support such a large company.

Jin Xilie did not expect An Rusong to move NGN to Sudongmian. What he needed was for An Rusong, the newly rich man, to invest some money in Sudongmian. He did not need to invest too much, such as investing in building a road, or investing in building a small factory and hiring hundreds of workers.

"Sudong-myeon is too backward, not just Wontong-ri, but all 17 villages under its jurisdiction are very backward and poor," Jin Xilie lit a cigarette for An Rusong before lighting one for himself. After taking a puff of his cigarette, he continued with a serious expression, "Over the past decade or so, the economic development of the Republic of Korea has not benefited this place, and in the past few years, due to the liberalization of the agricultural product market, this place has suffered the greatest impact. So, what this place needs now is not only policy support and guidance, but also some practical benefits."

At this point, he smiled and complimented, "Chairman An is a successful entrepreneur from Shuidongmian. In terms of political stance, he stands with the people of our North District. That's why I came to visit you with great pride today. I hope that Chairman An can lend a hand and contribute to the development of Shuidongmian."

Behind Jin Xilie, Luo Jinggeng, even though he was sitting on the sofa, always felt as if there was a needle piercing his buttocks. No, it should be countless needles piercing his buttocks, which made him feel restless. On the way to An's house just now, he had heard Jin Xilie briefly talk about An Rusong. It was also from the latter that he learned that An Rusong's Internet company seemed to be not simple. At the same time, this guy did not seem to be an ordinary upstart. He seemed to have met many people with high status.

According to Kim Hee-yeol, the reason why he knew that An Rusong had returned to Yuantongli was because he got the news from Congressman Lee Liangshou, which means that Congressman Lee Liangshou was also paying attention to An Rusong's movements.

Although Luo Jinggeng's knowledge is not broad, he still has a certain understanding of Lee Yangsoo, the member of parliament for the Gangwon Province North constituency. He is a member of parliament, not a local councilor. He is a big shot whom he cannot curry favor with even if he spends all his money. And such a big shot is paying attention to An Rushong. What does this show?
Luo Jinggeng was not stupid. Even if he could not see anything else, he at least understood one thing, that was that the boss of the An family was really rich, to the point that he could not afford to offend and should not offend.

So, even though he really didn't want to follow An's family, he still followed here. He didn't expect to curry favor with An Rushong, he just hoped that the other party would not hold a grudge against him, or at least not think about taking revenge on him.

Opposite Jin Xilie, An Rushong really didn't pay much attention to Luo Jinggen and his son. There were three main reasons why he was so irritable in front of Luo Jinggen before: first, Luo Zaixun's attitude of coveting his sister made him feel very uncomfortable; secondly, it was the memories of his predecessor left in his mind, which made him instinctively very unhappy with Luo's father and son; finally, his irritability might be a statement in front of An's father and mother. He was using this way to tell the old couple not to be afraid of people like Luo Jinggen, who are no longer on the same level as the An family.

But whether it was his violent attitude or driving the Luo family father and son out of the house, it was just a verbal conflict, a minor contradiction, far from a fight to the death. The most important thing was that Luo Jinggeng wanted his son to marry Ru Bin, fundamentally speaking, to get closer to the An family, but the other party's attitude was not right.

From the beginning to the end, the father and son of the Luo family did not threaten An Rushong, nor did they infringe on any interests of the An family. Besides, they were all from the same village. If An Rushong went too far, it would not sound good to others.

Just like now, with Jin Xilie as the face, An Rusong doesn't need to say anything or do anything, Luo Jinggeng still has to sit down and listen honestly? With today's meeting, is there anything that this old guy is not clear about? If that's the case, An Rusong doesn't mind spending a little more effort.

An Rushong's attention was focused on Jin Xilie at this time. When they first met just now, he had already introduced himself.

Kim Hee-yeol looks like he is already in his thirties, but he is actually from the N86 generation and is not even thirty years old this year. A young man in his twenties was able to be directly elected as the mayor of a neighborhood. This can only mean one thing: Kim Hee-yeol is very capable, and his family background is not simple.

Yes, both are indispensable.

Among South Korea's conservative politicians, some come from political families, such as Miss Park.

Interestingly, this type of politician with a family inheritance only exists among conservatives, while within the progressive caucus, such people are rare, if not non-existent.

As for the conservatives, these politicians who are inherited from their families can be mostly regarded as the "pro-Japanese and Korean traitors" group criticized by the progressives. In An Rushong's view, Kim Hee-yeol's father and grandfather must have held important positions in the government during the Japanese occupation.

Of course, An Rushong doesn’t care whether this speculation is accurate or not. He is not a Korean nationalist, nor a progressive. Why should he care about these things?
"Golden Mian, thank you for your words," An Rushong said with a smile, "Like you said, I am also from Yuantongli and walked out of the water cave. Of course, I know the situation here very well and what is needed here."

He paused and glanced at Luo Shengkui beside him. When their eyes met, he smiled at him and then continued, "Actually, I have carefully considered this time. If nothing unexpected happens, I plan to invest in building a factory in Yuantongli."
