Back to 2001

Lin Han looked at the figures of two government officials who were happy like children.

Overwhelmed with emotion for a while.

Hundreds of millions of capital investment is not even "icing on the cake" for first- and second-tier cities.

But for this remote and impoverished small county town, it is tantamount to "overwhelming irrigation".

It can directly transform the arid and barren desert into a vibrant oasis!

For businessmen who are dedicated to profit, the safest way is to invest a large amount of funds in first- and second-tier cities with mature business circles.

But for a businessman like Chen Jianghe, who has ideals and pursuits, his goal is no longer simply "making money".

"Brother Chen, let me call the teams of each project over now."

Lin Han asked Chen Jianghe beside him.

More than a dozen large projects worth tens of millions were constructed almost at the same time.

This requires a lot of preparatory work.

Procurement channels for raw materials.

Engineering Design Survey.

Construction of temporary housing.

……

There are countless complex tasks that require professional teams to complete day and night.

And once the formal construction of these projects starts, the construction period can be as short as one and a half years and as long as three to five years.

Whether it is Jianglin Group or Yanjing Lin Group, most of the employees have already settled in Yanjing.

This is undoubtedly a huge sacrifice and challenge for these workers who are forced to separate from their families.

"Don't worry, wait for Editor-in-Chief Ye to build momentum."

Chen Jianghe said with a smile: "During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Kongming borrowed arrows from straw boats, today we will play a game of borrowing arrows from straw boats."

"Borrow the straw boat?"

Lin Han blinked his big eyes and looked at Chen Jianghe half understanding.

"You'll know in a few days."

Chen Jianghe smiled lightly.

……

At the same time, a media interview group of more than 30 people has started in-depth visits in Shancheng County.

In just three days, the footsteps of these well-known reporters penetrated into every corner of the entire county.

The more remote areas where left-behind children and the elderly gather, the more "care" they receive from these reporters.

One family after another has been deeply dissected like a "sparrow".

A personal tragedy caused by poverty is also gradually presented in front of these well-known journalists.

Journalists can't count the number of times they've had to cut off an interview because they choked up uncontrollably these days...

Ye Fengchun also seemed to be the key target of all reporters "stalking and intercepting".

"Editor Ye, this article of mine must be featured on a heavy page. The families I interviewed are too representative..."

"Editor Ye, I guarantee with my ten years of experience in the news media industry that this article of mine will definitely arouse great repercussions..."

"Brother Ye, remember when we first started working as war reporters, have you forgotten that I saved your life back then..."

……

Ye Fengchun was faced with familiar faces and the press releases they presented made with sincerity and sweat.

For a while, it felt like a world away.

After so many years, this sense of social responsibility and passion for work as a news media person once again burned like a raging fire...

"Me and my hometown."

Under the dim fluorescent lamp with only a dozen watts of power.

Ye Fengchun thought for a long time, and wrote the title of this special news issue on the paper with a brush dipped in ink.

"My hometown is a small border town..."

"That barren land, that winding dirt road, that boat with lonely leaves, that clear river, and the time I spent playing when I was a child..."

"The warm spring sun when digging wild vegetables in the field, the scorching summer when picking wheat ears in the wheat field, the cool autumn water lingering by the stream, the singing and laughing of lions piled up in the snow. And, the smiling relatives leaning against the door..."

"People say that when you carry your luggage, you are a passer-by; when you put down your luggage, you will find your hometown. You, after all, are a passer-by in this city. In the dead of night, have you ever heard someone calling softly in your ear: Come back..."

With tears in his eyes, Ye Fengchun edited, edited and edited a prose of more than a thousand characters.

When he drew the last full stop at the end of the article, through the window he could already see the faint whiteness of the sky.

……

Two days later, the special report on "My Hometown and Me" was published in major news media.

Almost at the same time, the topic of "Shancheng County", a small border town, became a hot topic on various forums and websites.

Tens of thousands of enthusiastic netizens and hundreds of Internet celebrities and bloggers in the WeChat community traveled thousands of miles to this small border town that people are most concerned about.

Any first original street view photo of Shancheng County posted on the WeChat community will attract tens of thousands of views and thousands of likes.

The income from browsing and liking the website settlement is as high as hundreds of yuan!

A traffic carnival feast has officially begun!

The sudden emergence of online media and the power of communication can be called the explosion level of nuclear bombs.

It made Ye Fengchun and other traditional media practitioners dumbfounded in shock.

In Shancheng County at this moment, the silence and desolation of the past are gone forever.

The streets are full of curious foreign travelers holding up their cameras.

The business of the store that was already on the verge of bankruptcy suddenly became extremely hot.

Even setting up stalls on both sides of the street to sell tea eggs can earn hundreds of dollars in a day!

"Is this still the Shancheng County I know..."

The aborigines in Shancheng County have been completely overwhelmed by this bustling scene.

"Stand setting up" has become popular among mountain people now.

Whether they are employed or not, they will set up stalls and sell various things in their spare time.

Boiled corn, baked gluten, tea eggs, shaved ice...

As long as you are willing to work hard, making money is as easy as eating and sleeping!

After Zhou Zhiguo officially issued the official administrative document to serve as the main leader of Shancheng County, he held a county-wide cadre mobilization meeting overnight.

There was only one topic at the meeting, and that was how to ensure the smooth implementation of the "Jianglin Group Helps Shancheng County's Comprehensive Poverty Alleviation Plan" in an all-round way.

At the end of the meeting, Zhou Zhiguo stood up and watched all the cadres present make a solemn statement.

"From now on, all the staff of the county government will gradually move out of the original office building and work in the temporary housing built by Jianglin Group."

"Leave the best houses in the county for students to attend classes, and leave them for foreign investors to use for free."

"Creating a good business environment is the top priority of all personnel in all departments in the county. Anyone who eats cards to destroy the business environment will be severely dealt with once discovered, and will not be tolerated!"

……

In just three days after the meeting, thousands of public officials in Shancheng County have completed the relocation work.

The entire moving process was fully presented in front of major news media and a large number of self-media bloggers.

It was then presented to millions of readers and netizens in the form of news reports and online posts.

Now, whether it is in reality or on the Internet, the topic of "Shancheng County" is "adding fuel to the fire"!

Even Chen Jianghe, the behind-the-scenes promoter, was a little unexpected by the popularity and huge influence of the topic!
