A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

Su Fan's motivation for working so hard was entirely to get a higher rating for the Mawei Post Station project.

This will increase your ranking on the platform and allow you to access more resources.

After listening, Kong Lingcheng said very seriously, "Your project is the most promising one I've come across recently. We will definitely give it a thorough evaluation and strive to get it started as soon as possible."

Su Fan thanked him, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Kong."

Upon returning to his unit, Kong Lingcheng immediately convened a special meeting.

He upgraded the rating of the Mawei Post Station project to the highest level, giving it an AAA rating.

When Su Fan learned of this news, he was a little surprised.

He muttered to himself, "Looks like, no matter the world, sophisticated deception still works pretty well!"

Once the details were finalized, the Mawei Post Station tourism project was officially launched.

On financing platforms, those who usually pay attention to these things are mostly institutional investors and a few experienced retail investors.

Ordinary netizens rarely click to view this.

To let more people know, Su Fan simply forwarded the link to Weibo.

"The online crowdfunding campaign for the Mawei Post Station tourism project in my hometown has begun! Those with money, please support us financially; those without, please show your support by clicking here!"

The news left fans stunned.

In the past, Su Fan's Weibo posts were always teasers for new songs.

Why did a link suddenly appear today that I don't understand?

Some people clicked on the link out of curiosity, and the page redirected to the project details page of a certain financing platform.

Then I saw the expansion and operation project of Mawei Post Station Folk Culture Experience Park.

The project description is very detailed.

The page is also divided into two sections: reward crowdfunding and equity crowdfunding.

The crowdfunding reward program has a low entry threshold, with investments starting from 100 yuan.

Pay 500 yuan and receive two lifetime free tickets plus a cultural and creative gift box.

Pay 1,000 yuan, plus three nights of accommodation in a guesthouse.

For a fee of 5,000 yuan, in addition to the aforementioned benefits, you can also participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony when the scenic area opens.

This section is geared towards ordinary netizens, aiming to provide a sense of participation.

Equity crowdfunding has a higher threshold, with a minimum investment of 50,000 yuan.

Investors hold shares in the project company according to their investment ratio, and will receive dividends according to their shares after the scenic area becomes profitable in the future.

This segment is geared towards individuals with a certain level of financial strength who are looking for long-term returns.

The comment section of Su Fan's Weibo post became lively within ten minutes.

"Is Master Su playing the GG card for his hometown?!"

"I checked it out. They're offering a lifetime ticket for every 500 yuan crowdfunding donation. I've been to Mawei Post Station before; it was already quite nice, and it should be even more worthwhile to visit after the expansion. I'll donate 500 yuan!"

"I've carefully read the project proposal; it's even more substantial than some listed companies' prospectuses. I've already invested 1,000 yuan. I support Su Daxian, and I also support Mawei Post Station!"

"Regardless of what others think, I think this is a good thing. Singers are using their influence to attract investment to their hometowns, which is much better than those who take on lousy jobs!"

"I've already forwarded it to a friend who's an investor. This project has good fundamentals, and with Su Fan's influence, the expected returns are quite stable!"

"Su Fan, have you forgotten that your main profession is singing? But I'll support this frivolous pursuit this time. Remember to get back to your main job!"

……

Wei Zhiran was stunned for a long time after seeing the message.

He didn't expect Su Fan to act so quickly.

The loan deal fell through just two days ago, and now they've come up with a crowdfunding plan.

Moreover, it's not some small-scale private fundraising; it's a legitimate fundraising activity on a formal financing platform.

It includes project proposals, financial projections, risk assessments, and even separates crowdfunding into reward-based crowdfunding and equity crowdfunding sections.

This model is unprecedented in the tourism industry of Qin Province, and even in the national tourism industry.

Wei Zhirang carefully read the contents above and finally exclaimed, "How did he come up with that?!"

After a short pause, he picked up the landline on the table and dialed the office: "Notify the heads of all departments that there will be a meeting in the conference room in ten minutes."

The meeting was brief.

Wei Zhirang didn't give a long speech; he simply projected the crowdfunding page for Mawei Post Station onto the big screen and explained Su Fan's plan.

Then he stood up and said, "Let's go to Mawei Post Station!"

When the group arrived at the village, Su Fan was at the village committee discussing the feedback on the crowdfunding data with Pan Lei.

Pan Lei saw a group of people enter through the door and quickly stood up.

Su Fan turned around and saw that Wei Zhiran had already walked in, followed by seven or eight people from the Bureau of Culture and Tourism. Some were carrying cameras, and some were carrying notebooks. It was quite a large group.

Su Fan stood up and went to greet him: "Director Wei, are you going to conduct a surprise inspection?"

Wei Zhirang laughed and said, "They acted very quickly, faster than I expected."

Pan Lei added from the side, "Director Wei, Xiao Fan is now the acting village chief of our village. All the formalities have been completed, and we are just waiting for the formal election."

Wei Zhirang paused for a moment, then smiled, patted Su Fan on the shoulder, and changed his words: "Village Chief Su, the burden is on your shoulders. If you encounter any problems in the future, come to me anytime."

Su Fan smiled and replied, "Then I thank Director Wei in advance. I'll definitely need to trouble you in the future."

Wei Zhirang's smile faded, and he said, "The loan matter last time was due to my poor planning, which caused you to be affected."

Upon hearing this, Su Fan and Pan Lei understood immediately; as expected, the other party wasn't targeting them.

Su Fan said, "Now I'm actually a little glad that the loan wasn't approved back then, otherwise, things wouldn't be like this today."

Wei Zhirang understood his meaning, and his smile deepened: "It seems you are very confident in this project. Well, with your current influence, this should be a sure thing."

Su Fan didn't make any definitive statements: "Until the very end, no one can say for sure what the outcome will be. However, judging from the data we received today, we've already received hundreds of thousands of yuan in subscriptions for the reward crowdfunding alone. The progress on the equity crowdfunding side is a bit slower."

The head of the publicity department of the Culture and Tourism Bureau chimed in, his tone slightly tentative: "If there were a song to back it up, it would be a sure thing."

Su Fan said, "There's no rush, let's take it one step at a time."

Wei Zhirang immediately added, "It seems they're all ready."

Su Fan thought to himself, "Good grief, you two are putting on a show with me!"

Instead of answering directly, he changed the subject: "Director Wei, we'll need you to come and cut the ribbon on opening day."

"That's for sure," Wei Zhirang said, then asked, "By the way, when is that travel platform you mentioned going to launch?"

Su Fan said, "We'll begin once things here are settled."

Wei Zhirang nodded: "Then it's settled. The Culture and Tourism Bureau will take a stake, as you promised before."

Su Fan smiled: "No problem, with official endorsement, I couldn't be happier."

Pan Lei stood to the side, unable to get a word in edgewise.

But he secretly rejoiced that he had insisted on letting Su Fan take over from Lao Zhou, otherwise he wouldn't know how to report his work when the provincial leaders came down today.

He understood some of what Wei Zhiran and Su Fan were talking about, but he couldn't explain it in detail.

If he were in that position, he would probably reveal his inadequacy after just three sentences.
