96: Chapter 96 Promotion of Internet Hits

To Sun Ning's surprise, Vice Mayor Wang Pingan did not take the opportunity during the break to chat with Sun Ning.

Perhaps the situation in the morning made him realize that this matter of specialized economy was not so simple.

It was also possible that Vice Mayor Wang Pingan just wanted to steal some techniques and had no intention of "summoning" Sun Ning.

Or perhaps he didn't want to give anyone any handle to use against him.

In any case, Sun Ning was not one of his own!

With no one bothering him, Sun Ning was happy to have some peace and quiet.

However, resting was out of the question; Sun Ning pulled Village Party Secretary Tian Lei and the others to refine the details once more.

Especially in the area of subtly showcasing the handicrafts and local specialties.

Regarding soft advertising, Sun Ning had some ideas at the beginning.

But after this inspection, Sun Ning felt the effect was not as good as he had imagined.

Those people's gazes only lingered on the booths for a few seconds; although some looked curious, they really hadn't thought that these were all commodities.

Consequently, Sun Ning temporarily rounded up these village leaders and brought them to the village committee for a big meeting.

Some suggested making a promotional leaflet with clearly marked prices.

Others suggested adding prices to the display booths.

It wasn't until a vice president of the company said, "There's no need for any soft advertising; just make a detailed price list in the most prominent place in the village."

For one thing, it showed the sincerity of Mingyue Village, and for another, it made it convenient for villagers to supervise.

The company held shares in the collective economic organization, and giving the villagers a general idea of what the profits looked like would prevent the village leaders and company leaders from engaging in corruption!

This approach made Sun Ning's eyes light up.

Sun Ning immediately made the decision to erect such a sign in the most prominent place in every village.

Then Sun Ning arranged for these people to communicate more with the ordinary staff from the county and city levels to identify some drawbacks.

These people were frontline staff and also potential customers for Mingyue Village.

Such a good opportunity, Sun Ning had to seize it!

What followed was a standard, by-the-book inspection activity.

Everyone climbed mountains and looked at the water together; it was quite pleasant.

The next day, Vice Mayor Wang Pingan returned and left Mingyue Village, and the group visited two more rural primary schools one after another.

The final stop was at the Mishui Township First Junior High School and the Township Government health center.

Since Sun Ning took office, the level of support for the Township Government health center had not been very high.

After following Vice Mayor Wang Pingan around the health center for a tour, Sun Ning thought of the problem of the difficulty in seeing a doctor again.

These few years were the years when doctor-patient conflicts were most severe, and news about the difficulty and high cost of seeing a doctor was common.

First, the biggest problem was the money issue.

Secondly, it was also because the country had a large population, and many welfare benefits could not be achieved overnight!

However, that didn't prevent extra-budgetary subsidies.

Sun Ning felt that after the Township Government's finances became more affluent, he would also increase subsidies for the health center.

Especially in the introduction of equipment, doctors, and other aspects.

Striving to let those minor illnesses be treated right here in Mishui Township.

Of course, if the finances were even more affluent, Sun Ning wouldn't mind increasing the reimbursement rate for medical care.

As for universal free healthcare, Sun Ning hadn't even thought about it.

Once everything was free, the first thing that would happen was that those with connections would stay in the hospital all year round.

This would be true unfairness.

Now the country's system already protected the human rights of most people; Sun Ning would not, and dared not, change anything.

He certainly didn't think his ability was greater than the knowledge accumulated by his ancestors over thousands of years.

But now was not the time to think about these things; the Township Government didn't have that much money.

In some respects, these kinds of livelihood matters were completely thankless work; simply put, it was not easy to produce political achievements.

Therefore, many places were not very keen on investing in the medical industry.

Of course, Vice Mayor Wang Pingan didn't say much about the health center.

He didn't come to find fault, but to let the people above know about his ability to develop the economy.

Vice Mayor Wang Pingan left; as for how he would operate next, Sun Ning didn't know.

It wasn't until three days later that a phone call from Gao Feng came through.

"Sun Ning, what is this specialized economy you're doing in Gongfan County about? Can the revenue meet expectations? I see that Vice Mayor Wang Pingan attached great importance to it when he was in office."

Sun Ning held the Zhongzhou Economic Daily in his hands and chuckled.

He said softly to Gao Feng, "Senior brother, I'll go to Zhongzhou in a couple of days and we can talk in detail."

This report used a very obvious and subtle, veiled writing style, with the entire content revolving around Vice Mayor Wang Pingan's concern for the education issues in Mishui Township.

But the issues regarding education in the entire report took up less than half.

The rest of the content revolved around specialized economy, specialized tourism, and the combination of tourism and culture.

What was even more interesting was that this article was published not in the Daily Newspaper, nor in the Party Newspaper, but in the Economic Daily.

The implications contained within this were self-evident.

The two did not talk much on the phone.

Sun Ning intended to take two or three days to finish the work at hand.

Then he planned to lead the team to Zhongzhou to connect with China Youth Travel Service and find some people to handle the final promotional matters.

Once the matters in Zhongzhou were stabilized, he would prepare to head south to Jiangnan.

Investment promotion had to look like investment promotion; he had already agreed with Shang Rou that he would go and see for himself.

Shang Rou said she would introduce a few friends to him.

The two had already reached a consensus that the research team and part of the production base would remain here.

A series of production and assembly would be placed in Zhongzhou.

Heyang was not a province strong in education; there were only two first-tier universities in the whole province, so there was not that much talent.

If he forcibly took the research team to Zhongzhou, it was not how an enterprise should behave.

However, Sun Ning would not give up on building a research team in Zhongzhou; he would also let Deep Blue cooperate with various institutions in Heyang to deepen the research and development of various technologies.

School-enterprise cooperation was a trend now.

Many patents came from this cooperative model; Sun Ning also wanted to make Deep Blue better and wanted Heyang to have a few more high-tech industries.

In later generations, Zhongzhou was almost called the City of Sales because it lacked large-scale scientific and technological innovation enterprises!

Sun Ning felt that since he had come here, he should see if he could change the face of Zhongzhou.

A few days later, Sun Ning set off with his team.

After staying in Zhongzhou for a few days, he flew to Jiangnan.

After he left, a topic suddenly emerged on the Internet.

Regarding the comfort of living in the cave dwellings of Mingyue Village in Mishui Township, there were even different internet trolls promoting it below.

To hype up the topic, Sun Ning even used many Internet slang terms in advance.

The hottest terms being hyped among them were "The youth returns" and "The youth is over"!

For a time, these Internet memes spread across the country along the network cables.

Also because of the promotion on the Internet, many people who lived relatively close to Gongfan County responded one after another, saying they would go and stay for two days during the holiday.

And other netizens also left messages one after another.

They said all sorts of things.

For example, "You guys try it first; if it's crap, you eat it, if it's rice, I'll go."

For example, "You guys fly first, I'm a slow bird," and so on.

There were even impulsive young people who said they would set off immediately to taste the crap for their brothers first!

Of course, these people were just talking and joking; it was all just memeing.

There were not many people who actually went.

But even these few people were a spark.
