Chapter 293 - 292: The Path of Development
Looking at the pairs of eager eyes, Peter Brown knew in his heart that the villagers here weren’t unwilling to progress, but rather incapable of finding a path to development.
In fact, when Peter came, he had already found that the situation here wasn’t really bad, the most important being that the village was close to the neighbouring province.
Thinking of this, Peter turned to the villagers and said, "Everyone assumes that we have no resources, that it is difficult for us to develop, that we don’t have funds, that we don’t have transportation. None of these are problems. Since you all trust me, I am willing to lead you in developing this village and to improve everyone’s lives!"
"Good!"
Joseph Carter was the first to enthusiastically clapped, and the villagers also cheered.
"Boss Wang, can you tell us how to develop?" a girl in the crowd asked.
"Alright, let me talk about our development situation here, I had some chats on the way here and learned a lot of things. Actually, our village has pretty good geographical conditions. Firstly, isn’t the only thing standing between us and the neighboring province a large mountain?"
"Yes, the mountain is too high, it takes a full day to climb over and the terrain is very steep, it’s very hard to climb."
Peter smiled and said: "Everybody knows that mountain isn’t wide, it is just over a kilometer. In time, if we could dig a tunnel through it and build a wide road, your travel time to that province will be greatly reduced, especially if you drove."
Aah!
All the people were stunned, they had never thought about this. The idea of creating a tunnel through the mountain left them looking at Peter in surprise.
