Xu Chunliang said: "Just now, the three leaders all mentioned food. Our Dongzhou may not compare to others in terms of scenery, but can we not compete with food? I have some data here, a report on the catering industry in Pinghai Province. Within the province, Nanjiang is first, with a total of 52,376 registered establishments, and our Dongzhou ranks second with 50,471."
The attendees were quite surprised upon hearing these numbers. Who would have thought Dongzhou people love to eat so much?
Xu Chunliang said: "This doesn't even include the night market stalls involved in the catering-related industry. For us in Dongzhou, this is an advantage, a ready-made card. If we play this card well, it will be a trump card."
Li Yushan said: "Aren't you being a bit idealistic? Who would travel all the way to Dongzhou just for a bite to eat? Why not save on travel and eat locally?"
