Previously, there had been suggestions from the county for Yan Wenhai to take up a position in a certain department. Had it not been for his own refusal, becoming the head of a small department by now would have been no issue--a position many people can't obtain in their lifetime, now readily within Yan Wenhai's reach.
Yan Wenhai is well aware that as Yan Fei's business grows larger and larger, bringing in tens of millions each month from the outside, just investing a portion of that income locally can provide significant assistance to the county's economic prosperity.
This is different from businesses that struggle locally. It's like when a family shuts themselves in, the little money they have just goes round and round among themselves. Only by going out and earning money can they truly improve their living standards.
