The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 294

"Although the Crystal Lake and Azure Cloud Mountain tourism projects failed, there are a few hero villages in Celestial City that could be developed as tourist attractions.

"We can restore Crystal Lake and lower the entrance fees to Azure Cloud Mountain, or even offer free admission to certain eligible individuals. By focusing on the hero villages as the key attraction, we can also bring more visitors to Celestial City."

Stephen nodded, satisfied with all the ideas.

He even came up with one himself. "I've decided to increase the incentives for new companies to settle in Celestial City. We'll get them to establish their roots here first and gradually address the housing price issue once the city stabilizes."

Simon felt that the plan was faultless. However, it might take a very long time. He asked, " That might take a long time. Are you sure about using these methods?" Stephen thought about it. "It's just three to five years. I can wait."

He did not want to fail again!

At those words, the room erupted into applause. Everyone felt that Stephen had become much steadier.

In the past, he was fixated on raising Riveria's GDP to 20 trillion dollars within a year. Now, he was willing to wait three to five years. His chances of achieving his goal of raising Riveria's GDP to 20 trillion had significantly increased!

Stephen saw everyone's approval of him and could not help but feel happy.

He felt that Ethan was right. He could no longer run away. They were of a similar age. Ethan was the mentee of the Grand Marshal, while he was the young master of the Quinns. If Ethan could do it, so could he.
