Chapter 61: That Person Is Here to Deliver Money

Chapter 61 That man is here to deliver money

As soon as Chen Li entered and met Qin Lin, he said straight to the point, "Boss Qin, shall we find a quiet place to talk?"

"Director Chen, let's head over there." Qin Lin led Chen Li to a table in the corner and sat down.

He knew the other party was definitely here to discuss the support fund again.

"Boss Qin, the county has already approved the support fund for the resort," Chen Li said as he sat down. "We will provide fund support for your resort through a '1+2 project' and interest-free project repayment. I wonder if Boss Qin has any thoughts or project plans in mind?"

Qin Lin had studied the support policies and knew that the "1+2 project" referred to one major project plus two minor projects.

This meant the county intended to support his resort in developing three more projects.

The interest-free project repayment fund support meant that he would not have to pay any interest, nor would he even need to repay the principal out of pocket. Once the projects were built, the funds would be repaid using the revenue generated by the projects themselves. After the repayment was complete, the projects would entirely belong to the resort.

This also showed how highly the county regarded his resort.

Qin Lin said, "Director Chen, I do have some plans. I've carefully considered the rafting project you mentioned before, and it is indeed feasible to build a 10-kilometer rafting project. All the facilities combined will probably cost close to six million yuan."

This was naturally a plan he had thought of from the very beginning, but he knew that saying this would make Chen Li feel extremely pleased.

True to expectations, Chen Li beamed with a full face of smiles and said, "That counts as one project. Does Boss Qin have any other ideas?"

Qin Lin smiled and continued, "I do have another idea, and that is to expand the resort. The current number of cooking stoves available for customers is severely inadequate. Additionally, there is the accommodation issue. I want to build some cave-dwelling style rooms similar to those in the Hero Valley to solve the lodging problem. This expense might be a bit larger."

The so-called cave-dwelling rooms were actually structures similar in size to yurts and military tents, built using specialized construction methods.

Such scenic spot accommodations prided themselves on being "small yet fully equipped." The compact spaces contained all necessary infrastructure, and many tourist attractions now adopted this type of lodging architecture.

Moreover, these cave dwellings were not expensive to build, and the construction speed was very fast. As long as funds were in place, quite a few such rooms could be completed within a month.

"Ah, that can also count as a project!" Chen Li nodded, then asked, "What about the third project?"

Qin Lin replied, "I honestly haven't given that one much thought yet. Would Director Chen care to offer a suggestion?"

Chen Li did not refuse and proposed, "Boss Qin, your resort is famous for its sea of bougainvillea. You could actually create another sea of flowers. The resort covers an area of 500 mu, and most of it is currently wasteland. You could easily develop a 100-mu comprehensive sea of flowers, which I imagine would be very popular."

"Very well, let's go with Director Chen's suggestion and build a comprehensive sea of flowers!" Qin Lin readily agreed. Anyway, he couldn't think of a better project for the wasteland at the moment, so he might as well follow Chen Li's advice.

With these three projects combined, the support fund would likely exceed 25 million yuan.

If he had to rely solely on himself to proceed slowly—funding and building simultaneously using the resort's revenue—it would undoubtedly take a vast amount of time.

With the county's support and considering the current volume of tourists, he would likely repay the county's funds within the same timeframe, and the crucial part was that he wouldn't have to spend a single penny of his own money.

Seeing that the terms were roughly settled, Chen Li moved on to the main agenda. "Aside from the support fund, Boss Qin, the county hopes you can join the county's tourism association. We would like you to promote other scenic spots in Youcheng at the entrance of your resort. During peak holiday tourism seasons, the tourism association will also organize bundled promotions for tourism projects and carry out preferential pricing activities. We hope Boss Qin will participate when the time comes."

This was clearly an additional condition.

The reason the county valued the visitor traffic at his resort was obviously also because the resort was immensely helpful to the county's "All-For-One Tourism Plus" plan.

This caused no loss to him, and making some contribution to his hometown's tourism industry was a good thing.

Crucially, this would bring many implicit benefits. As long as he developed well, it was equivalent to having an invisible protective shield behind him.

Therefore, Qin Lin nodded and said, "Director Chen, that's not a problem at all. The big pie of the county's all-for-one tourism initiative needs to be grown bigger together by everyone so that everyone can reap the benefits."

"It's wonderful that Boss Qin thinks this way. Next, the county will draft the contract terms and notify you accordingly. You can also start working on the proposal beforehand, as it will need to be reviewed and supervised by the Finance Bureau." Chen Li was very satisfied with this outcome and did not stay long after that, leaving with his entourage.

This also showed him that this Boss Qin possessed a commendable macro perspective. A person like this wouldn't let the resort develop poorly, and the county's support would definitely yield returns.

Qin Lin walked back to the bar counter.

Zhao Moqing asked with curiosity, "Qin Lin, who was that just now?"

"Director Chen from the Tourism Bureau!" Qin Lin explained, then asked Zhao Moqing with a smile, "Moqing, aside from the sea of bougainvillea, which place in the country do you think has the prettiest sea of flowers?"

Zhao Moqing thought for a moment and said, "I've seen promotional materials for the sea of flowers in Guangming Town, Shenzhen. They cultivate rapeseed flowers, cosmos, zinnias, sulphur cosmos, oncidium orchids, begonias, crabclaw orchids... interwoven into a comprehensive sea of flowers. It blooms continuously for over 280 days a year, which is exceptionally beautiful. Many couples even choose to go there to shoot their wedding photos."

Hearing this, Qin Lin smiled and put his arm around Zhao Moqing's waist, saying, "Then let's build our own Guangming Town right here in our resort and plant all those flowers. Once the sea of flowers is completed, we'll take our wedding photos right inside it."

Zhao Moqing was stunned, staring blankly at Qin Lin. "Qin Lin, are you serious? The resort is already in debt by millions; where would you get the money?"

"The man who just left is here to deliver money." Qin Lin smiled and recounted the matter of the support fund.

"Is this true?" Zhao Moqing was astonished. She clearly had never imagined that Qin Lin running a resort could win such massive support from the county.

"Naturally!" Qin Lin said with certainty, "As soon as the support fund arrives, we'll start construction."

Afterward, Qin Lin took out his phone to check online how to draft the proposal for such a support fund.

Zhao Moqing watched Qin Lin from the side, stars shining in her eyes as she couldn't help recalling a certain line:

*She said she loved French parasol trees, so that year, the whole city was planted with parasols!*
