After the opening up of China, it was probably to attract investment. Perhaps it was to attract tourists or to increase their popularity, the officials of various places were trying their best to boast about the characteristics of their respective regions. Words like " long history "," land of outstanding talents "," hometown of the ****"," birthplace of the ****", etc. were often used in the newspapers and media. As long as there were historical relics or celebrities involved, the city would be embellished to show the beautiful scenery or long history of the local area. Outsiders would be confused and not know what kind of fairyland it was.
Ji Plain was an old-fashioned heavy industrial city. Except for the coal, steel, electricity, oil, chemical, and mechanical industries, it was hard to find any local classics or historical stories. Because of this, the city leaders were very distressed. They were very envious of Changbai City. Changbai City's economic strength was less than half of Ji Yuan's, but it was full of people, culture, and history. The hunting ground of the Shang King, the ancient capital of the nomadic dynasty, and the ancestral graves of the kings were all over the city. Chinese and foreign tourists ran there happily. Ji Yuan would be in trouble. Other than the black coal and the hard steel blocks, the moment you entered the city, you would see black smoke billowing out, covering your clothes with a layer of dust. He was still willing to come to such a place? Not to mention the new investors, even those big foreign bosses who had already invested in heavy chemical industry also set their headquarters in the provincial capital. During the day, he would deal with official business in Ji Plain and return to the provincial capital early in the afternoon.
How could this continue?
There it was! The former chief of Jiyuan City took the then director of the construction committee, Yang Jian, to Hong Kong and suddenly had an inspiration. They wanted to build cultural landscapes and super-standard reception facilities. Thus, the famous " World of Flowers " project began. The project took six years, and no one could tell how much the government had invested. It was said that there was a shortage of funds not long after the construction started. Hence, they found a Hong Kong businessman to form a joint venture. The Hong Kong businessmen did not have enough money, so they found a Japanese joint venture. After the Japanese businessman emptied his wallet, he found an American businessman. How many investors were there in the end? Who had the most shares? Would he lose money or earn money? Was it worth it for the government to create such a thing? No one could say for sure.
However, there was one thing that everyone agreed on: "Flower World" had created a reputation for Ji Yuan.
People didn't know the population of Jiyuan City, its urban area, its financial revenue and GDP, but they all knew that there was a luxurious building in Jiyuan City-" Flower World."
The Flower World was called the Flower World because it was indeed a flower and because it was really big. The flowers were big enough to make people dizzy, and the flowers were big enough to make people stare. First, the hardware. The entire building complex occupied more than ten hectares and was divided into four scenic spots: Spring Garden, Summer Kite Garden, Autumn Garden, and Winter Plain. Every building in the scenic area was equipped with modern temperature control equipment. These facilities provided visitors with the eternal feelings of spring, summer, autumn and winter, allowing customers to experience the different feelings of the four seasons in a day. This could be said to be the first in the world! In terms of service items, besides the normal accommodation, dining, singing and dancing, Bowling, and saunas, the investors had also provided many entertainment activities in the various preferential policies of Ji Yuan. There were European, American, Japanese, Hong Kong, and Taiwan entertainment activities. As long as he was afraid of spending money. Whoever went in would be "too happy to think of home" and would not come out. Some self-employed people who had made a small fortune moved in without knowing the depth. After playing for a few days, they became bankrupt. There were already countless of them.
The commoners of Ji Plain had a catchphrase: When we have the money, we can go to the "Flower World" for a while.
In just a few years, the " Flower World " had become synonymous with high-end consumption and luxury in the province.
In Ji Yuan City, where the standard of a well-off society had yet to be met," Flower World " had incited high consumption and encouraged luxury and enjoyment. Logically speaking, the purchase of such items should have been denounced and banned by the relevant departments. However, it survived unscathed. Whether it was the anti-vice campaign or the " clean up the environment " campaign, it had been properly protected. There were only two reasons for this. First, some special service activities of foreign operators were legal in the joint venture of China. Secondly, this " Flower World " was well managed and profitable every year. The taxes paid to the local government were increasing, and it gradually became an effective channel for the city's financial revenue. Therefore, the city government, which was getting poorer and poorer, had to do its best to protect it for its own benefit. Therefore, the government's public security, taxation, and industry and commerce departments jointly set up an administrative office to station here. It was called management, but it was actually protection. Even dancers and masseuses who worked here had to go through several departments to get an "employment permit" before they could enter. In this way, the inspection team and other miscellaneous people who wanted to enjoy themselves by taking advantage of the "inspection work" out of greed or curiosity could forget about getting involved.
Because of these reasons, the "Flowery World" had a very "special" status and function in Ji Plain. Those big companies, big businesses, and big consortiums, if they encountered a problem in public relations activities, as long as they led the person in charge into the " colorful world," the contradiction would be solved. Especially when it came to important matters such as projects, loans, approval documents, quotas, and so on, the relevant departments and units would invite the people who had the final say here, and they would succeed nine out of ten. There was a rich man who was infatuated with a beautiful girl. He was so infatuated that he would not marry anyone but her. It was just that this girl was proud of herself and was still a little reluctant. The rich man gritted his teeth and led the girl into the "flowery world". In less than a night, the two of them tied the knot. In the 'flowery world', there was no fortress that couldn't be conquered, and there was nothing that couldn't be done. It was like an all-purpose chemical factory equipped with magical equipment. The most difficult things would melt naturally here like the remaining winter snow meeting the spring sun.
By the time Yu Ming became the chief of the Shi clan, the "Flower World" was not only "flower" and "big", but it also became a little "divine".
