Chapter 59: This Speed is Unbelievable!

Chapter 59: This Speed is Unbelievable!

Since the Tourism Bureau has allocated this funding, it should be used all at once.

As for whether the Bamboo Forest Maze needs 10 million yuan and whether anyone will question it, once the Bamboo Forest Maze is completed, all doubts will naturally be silenced. After all, even if someone else were given 10 million yuan, they couldn't create such a Bamboo Forest Maze.

Everything speaks through results.

After finishing the proposal, Zhang Lin took out his phone and called Zhao Han, planning to discuss the matter with him.

The call connected, and Zhao Han's voice came through first: "Boss Zhang, we just had a meeting about your Liyuan Farm at the Tourism Bureau. We were about to ask when you plan to start your new project? We really hope you can lift the ticket booking restrictions for tourists soon."

Over the past two days, everyone at the Tourism Bureau had been closely monitoring the online popularity of Liyuan Farm. After yesterday's incident, the farm's popularity soared even higher, with the number of followers increasing rapidly to over 700,000 by this morning.

Even his cousin, Chen Shengfei, who had been used as a shill, gained a wave of popularity, now having 200,000 followers and still increasing.

If Liyuan Farm were to lift the ticket booking restrictions, the number of tourists it could receive daily would certainly exceed 5,000.

Therefore, they were even more eager for Liyuan Farm's new project than Zhang Lin himself.

Last year, Youcheng County received an average of 20,000 tourists per day. Due to Liyuan Farm, this number has now increased to 25,000. They naturally hoped this average could reach 30,000.

All this was the Tourism Bureau's achievement.

Zhang Lin laughed upon hearing this and said, "Director Zhao, what a coincidence! I just finished a proposal for a new project on the Bamboo Forest Maze. The project is quite costly, requiring 10 million yuan, but once completed, it will definitely surpass the rapeseed flower sea!"

"Boss Zhang, I'll head over to the farm to discuss it!" Zhao Han hung up hurriedly after hearing that Zhang Lin had a concrete plan.

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Zhang Lin felt that Director Zhao seemed even more eager than he was.

Next, he called Wei Yuan, whose laughter immediately came through: "Boss Zhang, I was just about to call you. We had a morning meeting at the Agriculture Bureau about your Liyuan Farm and decided to award you the title of 'Advanced Experimental Farm.'"

Zhang Lin was taken aback by this news, not expecting the Agriculture Bureau to hold a meeting for him and even award him a title.

Hearing this, he immediately said, "Thank you very much for your support!"

"Boss Zhang, you must have called for a reason, right?" Wei Yuan asked.

Zhang Lin explained, "Our farm has a new project that requires us to contract 1,000 acres of bamboo forest."

"This is great news! I promised policy support for your farm, and this bamboo forest contract can be included in that support. I'll head over to the farm to discuss it," Wei Yuan said, clearly eager as well.

He also hoped that Liyuan Farm would thrive and grow.

Not only were they collaborating to promote new fruit varieties, but since Liyuan Farm was under the Agriculture Bureau's jurisdiction, its success and fame would reflect well on them. It would be a significant achievement they could proudly showcase.

For instance, at county meetings or city-level bureau meetings, he could confidently say, "Under the guidance and assistance of the Youcheng County Agriculture Bureau, we have created the well-known brand of Liyuan Farm."

There was also the anticipation of Liyuan Farm's fruits.

He now knew that Liyuan Farm had two fruit varieties, the Water Honey Peach and the Sunshine Rose, both experimental products from their cooperative laboratory, with flavors far surpassing ordinary fruits.

However, since it was still in the confidential stage, they couldn't investigate further. They only hoped that when the laboratory conducted trial promotions, Youcheng would benefit from planting these fruits, bringing significant advantages to the local farmers and Youcheng's agriculture.

Although they didn't know the nature of Liyuan Farm's cooperation with the laboratory, they believed that the farm's success would be beneficial for their partnership.

Therefore, the Agriculture Bureau naturally provided policy support.

After hanging up, he immediately called a department head from the Agriculture Bureau, asking him to find the distribution map of the bamboo forests around Liyuan Farm and send it to him before rushing to the farm.

After making the appointments with the two bureau directors, Zhang Lin rode his scooter to the service center. As soon as he entered, he saw a girl holding a cup of honeysuckle tea and speaking to her phone, "Babies, I'm already at Liyuan Farm. First, their service center is really well-built, and second, I've already bought their honeysuckle tea."

"Everyone knows I suffer from severe constipation, so I'll rely on this today. I'll give you feedback on its effectiveness. Love you all, kisses!"

Several tourists were filming her.

Zhang Lin felt this girl looked familiar, likely a popular influencer he had seen before, but he couldn't quite place her.

However, he wasn't surprised to see an influencer at the farm. In the age of internet fame, influencers often flock to places with high traffic.

Zhang Lin didn't pay much attention to her and entered the lounge. Soon, Zhao Han and Wei Yuan arrived simultaneously.

"Directors, you're here!" Zhang Lin greeted them immediately.

Zhao Han and Wei Yuan both smiled and said, "Boss Zhang has a new project, how could I not come?"

"Yes, I also want to hear about Boss Zhang's new project."

Zhang Lin handed them the Bamboo Forest Maze proposal he had hastily written.

Zhao Han took the proposal and started reading, with Wei Yuan leaning in to look as well.

To be honest, both of them thought the proposal was poorly written, even with incorrect formatting.

However, that wasn't important. What mattered was the plan, and the Bamboo Forest Maze was indeed a hot project in agricultural tourism, showcasing Youcheng's unique advantages in bamboo resources.

Zhao Han asked curiously, "Mr. Zhang, is this project really going to be better than the sea of rapeseed flowers?"

"Absolutely!" Zhang Lin said with certainty. "After all, Liyuan Farm has finally gained some popularity, and I can't afford to play around with the farm's reputation."

Zhao Han believed Zhang Lin, given how the unique service center and the beautiful sea of rapeseed flowers had already been constructed.

"At least you're more skilled in this area than any of us," Zhao Han admitted.

"Can it compete with the Miao ethnic group's project?" Zhao Han asked, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"This shouldn't be a problem," Zhang Lin said, nodding as he thought about the attributes of the Bamboo Forest Maze.

Satisfied with this answer, Zhao Han took out a document and a card from his briefcase and handed them to Zhang Lin. "Mr. Zhang, our Tourism Bureau has no other requirements. Just get the Bamboo Forest Maze up and running as soon as possible to attract more tourists. Additionally, we have one request: when the project starts, we'll send someone to film the construction process, and we'll need to report this to our superiors."

As for how the Bamboo Forest Maze would be built, they didn't ask many questions. The main goal was to increase Luyuan Farm's traffic and attract more visitors.

Zhang Lin hadn't expected the Tourism Bureau to move so quickly.

This showed that they were even more eager than he was.

This was a good sign, indicating the importance of his farm.

Wei Yuan then took out a document and said, "Mr. Zhang, this is the contract for the Bamboo Forest that Luyuan Farm will be leasing. It's a total of 1,500 acres. As part of our support policy, we will waive the rent for the first year. However, we hope you can set up some stalls outside the Bamboo Forest Maze to promote our Youcheng agricultural products."

Zhang Lin hadn't expected the Agricultural Bureau to be so quick either, and they had even prepared the contract so thoughtfully. They had also provided an additional 500 acres and waived the first year's rent.

While the rent for the Bamboo Forest in Youcheng wasn't very high, it was still a significant amount of money.

All he had to do was provide some stalls.

"Let's do it as Mr. Wei suggested," Zhang Lin agreed without hesitation. This was a mutually beneficial arrangement, and they could support each other.

After that, the three of them discussed the details, and Zhang Lin signed the documents from both the Tourism Bureau and the Agricultural Bureau.

"Mr. Zhang, I'll be heading back now. I'll send someone over to coordinate the Bamboo Forest Maze project," Zhao Han said as he was about to leave.

Wei Yuan also smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, I'll have Mengxi handle the coordination. She will be responsible for designing and setting up the stall area."

Zhang Lin smiled and saw them off from the service center, then looked at the card Zhao Han had given him.

This card contained 10 million yuan. If he transferred the money to his own account, could he earn some milestone rewards for profit?

1 million for one milestone, 5 million for another, 10 million for a third.

That would be three milestone rewards.

After all, this support fund didn't need to be repaid, so it shouldn't count as profit, right?

But just as he had this thought, he heard the game system's voice:

[A card containing 10 million yuan in support funds for an official tourism project has been discovered. This can be bound to your bank account for farm construction expenses but cannot be transferred to your bank account. It does not count as profit. Do you want to bind it?]



"..." Zhang Lin opened his mouth, thinking he might have found a bug, but it seemed he had no such luck.

He chose to bind the funds,.. Immediately, he saw a 10 million yuan in support funds appeared in the game.

Without hesitation, he chose to spend 5 million yuan to build the Bamboo Forest Maze.

Just as before, the shadow of the Bamboo Forest Maze appeared. As he moved the shadow to the 1,500-acre Bamboo Forest he had just leased, the ground beneath the shadow turned green, indicating that it was a suitable location.

He confirmed the location, and the shadow dropped. In the game, the area was immediately marked as under construction.

[Congratulations! You have spent 5 million yuan to build the Bamboo Forest Maze. The construction team has arrived and is now working on it...]



In the game, construction vehicles appeared, entering the farm from the entrance.

Almost simultaneously, in the real world, Zhao Han and Wei Yuan reached the parking lot. Before they could get into their car, they saw a lead construction vehicle rush in and place a "temporarily closed" sign at the parking lot entrance.

Before they could react, more construction vehicles started arriving, driving deeper into the farm.

"Where did all these construction vehicles come from? Are they from Luyuan Farm?" Zhao Han asked, surprised.

Wei Yuan looked in the direction the vehicles were heading and said, "That seems to be the Bamboo Forest that Mr. Zhang just leased."

"Ah???" Zhao Han was taken aback.

These were for building the Bamboo Forest Maze?

But how could they have arrived so quickly? They had just finished talking with Mr. Zhang and hadn't even left the farm yet.

At that moment, Zhao Han received a message. When he opened it, he saw a bank text message indicating that 5 million yuan had just been transferred from the 10 million yuan support fund.

"Mr. Zhang must have been well-prepared, waiting for the support funds," Zhao Han said, his face full of surprise. The efficiency of this was astounding.

He knew the construction team must have been contacted by Mr. Zhang in advance. Clearly, they trusted Mr. Zhang and had already set out, which was why they arrived as soon as the money was transferred.

However, this also proved that Mr. Zhang was indeed someone who could get things done.
