The Indifferent Young Master’s Flash Marriage - Chapter 112

Chapter 112: To Covet Gains Ahead Without Being Aware Of The Dangers Behind (Part 2)

Gu Zihang’s smile became still as he watched Su Wan walk up the stage with a good presence of mind.

Something seemed wrong. Why was Su Wan so calm?

Her proposal had been stolen and used by others. Why was Su Wan not anxious? Why was she not panic-stricken and feeling helpless…?

This could only be explained that everything was under control. Could Su Wan have known that they had stolen her draft?

At the thought of this possibility, Gu Zihang pulled a long face.

He turned to look at Su Wan, who was now standing on the podium. Su Wan bowed gracefully. With an elegant smile, she started her pitch.

“What Mr. Gu proposed sounds perfect but there are many similar ancient streets and lanes in Jiuzhou. In my opinion, the tourists would feel it lacks originality…”

Once this was uttered, the audience could not sit still. They started whispering to one another.

Although many people felt what Su Wan said was reasonable, they still felt her arrogance for criticizing Gu Group’s proposal.

When they recalled that Su Wan had Di Chen Group backing her, their eyes shifted toward the elegant and handsome young man sitting in the front row.

Jiang Xuecheng pursed his lips slightly and his eyes were still indifferent and cold. Nobody knew what he was thinking.

In the huge hall of the International Exhibition Center, a strange atmosphere was circulating. Everyone wanted to see whether Su Wan had a good proposal. Could her proposal be convincing?

Young people were fearless and Su Wan was probably so. She raised her brows and smiled and started to get to the point.

“After discussion with the Long Teng International team, we unanimously think what tourists need more is to relax and to experience the traditional lives of the people. So, we feel that we should first weaken the business atmosphere in Beitong’s development zone.”

Actually, Su Wan’s proposal had not been discussed among the others in Long Teng International. It had merely been between her and Jiang Xuecheng…

When she said that, the crowd went into another uproar. Tourism was a good source of economy. Which famous tourism spot lacked a business atmosphere?

If the business atmosphere was not intense, then it should be a silent little scenic spot which could not drive the tourism economy.

As one of the judges in the panel, Meng Bin frowned slightly. He obviously felt Su Wan’s idea was idealistic. Hence, he was the first to stand up to interrupt Su Wan.

“Miss Su, your imagination is nice but when you say to weaken Beitong’s business atmosphere, how would you operate it?”

“We’ll start with not collecting an entrance fee!”

Su Wan’s beautiful eyes were fixed on Meng Bin and her voice was firm.

This girl had a wild ambition but it did not sound reliable.

Everyone stared at Su Wan and thought she was crazy. For tourism to generate income, entrance fees were the most basic source of income. If there was no entrance fee, how would tourism stimulate the economy?

This time, it was not Meng Bin but another middle-aged female judge who stood up to ask a question which was everyone’s doubt.

“If we do not collect an entrance fee, how can Beitong’s development zone bring in income?”

In front of the Burlywood meeting table, Su Wan’s eyes were smiling. She looked self-assured as she replied, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch.”

“We will first coax the tourists to come to Beitong to experience traditional living. Once they enter the tourist spot, it would be difficult for them to see all of Beitong in a day or two. So, they will have to search for food and accommodation.”

Su Wan paused and continued, “According to our current accommodation plan, a hot spring hotel alone is not sufficient. Homestays with traditional slow-moving characteristics would be Beitong’s signature accommodation too…”

Before Su Wan finished talking, many people understood what she meant. The entrance fee exemption was a means to attract tourists and the follow-up income would come from this group of people.

Just when everyone was thinking of the possibility of Su Wan’s proposal, Gu Zihang raised his hand. Upon the approval of the panel of judges, he stood up.

Gu Zihang looked at Su Wan with clear and sharp eyes, as if he was still the brilliant senior during high school.

“Miss Su, your follow-up plan is good but I wish to know how you would promote Beitong. Merely depending on the entrance fee exemption would not be enough!”

Everyone was interested in Gu Zihang’s question and they looked at Su Wan, waiting to hear her reply.

They hadn’t expected to hear another voice.

“It is indeed not enough.”

Jiang Xuecheng’s voice was calm and low but there was something fascinating about it. Every word that reached their ears inspired them with enthusiasm.

Was it possible that this proposal had been approved by the young master?

No wonder Jiang Xuecheng fostered her since they arrived.

When everyone looked at the indifferent and conceited man, Gu Zihang’s smile was stagnant. He stared at every gesture of Jiang Xuecheng nervously and bit his lips slightly.

“Since the attraction of entrance fee exemption is not enough, I bet Mr. Jiang has a publicity plan. I’d like to hear the details.”

Jiang Xuecheng shot a glance at Gu Zihang. His voice was cold.

“‘Nirvana of Phoenix’, the movie produced by Phoenix Entertainment and Media Company under Di Chen Group, would be using Beitong’s development zone as the main filming location of the movie.”

Jiang Xuecheng did not raise his voice on purpose but after saying this, everyone kept quiet that instant. They had not expected Jiang Xuecheng to place importance in Beitong’s development zone.

There were innumerable industries involved under Di Chen Group but only three were its pillar industries. Aside from real estate and jewelry, the most noteworthy industry was film and television entertainment.

‘Nirvana of Phoenix’ was an ancient costume film invested by Phoenix Entertainment and Media Company. Since it began last year, it was a big budget production shot by a famous director that would cost billions of dollars. It had aroused a warm response on the Internet.

This month, the leads for ‘Nirvana of Phoenix’ had just been selected. The male lead and the female lead were a first-line actor and actress with good acting skills respectively and they were very popular with numerous fans.

The movie director and the script writer were universally acclaimed. Many insiders had faith in the movie and they thought it would make a good box office, perhaps even becoming a phenomenal film!

Now, everyone understood why Jiang Xuecheng was looking to further increase the prospect of Beitong’s development zone…

Su Wan stared blankly. She had not known beforehand that Jiang Xuecheng would link Beitong’s development zone with ‘Nirvana of Phoenix’.

Was this man helping her through this manner?
