City.
Investment fair.
"There is a surprise?"
"That's right. Didn't I tell you?"
"Sister Zhang, what is it?"
"You will know when the time comes."
"Look at you. You are still keeping me in suspense."
"Haha … I will hang up now. Just wait."
"That's fine. Call me again if you need to arrange or pick me up."
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing kept his phone and walked back to Zhen Shui County's booth. He saw that staff from the City's Investment Promotion Agency had left and went to Lv Weiguo to complain. Dong Xuebing could not be bothered to look at them and returned to his booth.
"Mayor Dong."
"What do you think?"
"This can't be happening again and again."
"That's right. Why did they cancel our booth? What did we do wrong? "
When Dong Xuebing returned, Zheng Dayou, Chen Yunsong, and the rest started complaining to Dong Xuebing. All of them are annoyed by Dong Xuebing.
Don't worry. Even if Lv Weiguo reports to the higher-ups, he will not be able to do anything without evidence. So, don't be affected by them. Just do what you need to do. The investors will be arriving soon. "Dong Xuebing looked at everyone and consoled them." Just let them say what they want to say. Their mouths are on them, and we can't do anything about it.
"Huh? They are already here."
"What do you mean by already here?"
"Look outside. The cars are here."
Dong Xuebing, Zheng Dayou, and the rest looked out and saw the park's gates were wide open. Cars with Provincial license plates entered the park. These should be the cars prepared by the Provincial Government for the investors. Other than the overseas investors, no one else can get such treatment.
The investors are here!
They are finally here!
Hua Li ran over to welcome them.
Lv Weiguo, who was listening to the Investment Promotion Agency staff's complaint, waved his hand and interrupted him. He can't be bothered with Dong Xuebing anymore and went to fetch the investors with Deputy Mayor Hua. No matter how hard Zhen Shui County tries, it's just a small matter.
Everyone started to move.
All the leaders of the Investment Promotion Agency from all districts went up to Dong Xuebing.
Although Dong Xuebing did not think it's a big deal, he still needs to do his job. Zhen Shui County is too far away and is the last to arrive.
The car stopped and the door opened.
Many people got off the bus one after another.
The first person to arrive is a middle-aged woman with short hair. Although her hair is white, she is wearing a suit and looks elegant. This woman should be a leader in the Provincial Government. Dong Xuebing noticed Hua Li and Lv Weiguo were greeting her politely. This woman's rank should be about the same as Hua Li or even higher than Deputy Mayor Hua. Dong Xuebing does not know.
The woman said to Hua Li, "I've brought him here. I'll introduce him to you in a while. After the introduction, you can make arrangements. I'll be going back."
Hua Li said, "How can we do that? Lunch …"
The woman waved her hand and said, "I'm not eating. I have something to do over there. Anyway, your secretary and the mayor should have told you everything that needs to be conveyed. Don't make any mistakes."
Hua Li said, "Don't worry, we will definitely treat you well."
The woman nodded and said, "That's good. Whether or not you can keep these investments depends on your ability. This is an opportunity for your city. You must seize it."
Hua Li nodded. "We understand."
The cars behind also stopped at the plaza. There are about ten cars in total, and the foreign investors alighted one by one. There were men and women, old and young, but the majority of them were women. More than half of them had Western faces, with blonde hair and blue eyes. One could tell that they were Westerners. One of them seemed to be of mixed blood, while the rest were Asians. They were probably Chinese or Chinese. Feng Yu can tell from these people's aura that they are totally different from those small investors. These foreign businessmen are not dressed luxuriously, but their auras tell Feng Yu that they are rich.
Dong Xuebing and the rest also boarded the car, but they are at the back. The people in front are from the City and County's Investment Bureaus, and they did not manage to squeeze in.
Western girls.
Their figures are not bad.
Dong Xuebing had only seen their figures.
The female leader from the Provincial Government should have interacted with these investors and is fluent in English. She smiled and chatted with the investors for a while before pointing to Hua Li, Lv Weiguo, and the rest. Dong Xuebing did not understand what she said, but he guessed she should be introducing the leaders from his side. After the foreign businessmen heard this, they all nodded to Hua Li and the others as a greeting.
The female leader then pointed to a foreign businessman at the very front to Hua Li and the others. "This is Flender, the boss of the Rand Corporation."
Lv Weiguo started clapping.
Clap … clap … clap … the rest of the Investment Bureaus staff also clapped.
Hua Li immediately walks over to shake his hand. "Welcome to Meihe City."
Hua Li is speaking in English, but his accent is a little stiff. He must have learned English at the last minute.
That foreign investor, Flender, also shook hands with Hua Li and said a few words in English.
These foreign investors did not bring their translators with them. There are more than a dozen of them, and none of them brought their secretaries or translators with them. That's why a staff member from Meihe City's Investment Promotion Agency, who is fluent in English, translated what Hua Li said to Deputy Mayor Hua in Mandarin. Hua Li understood this is Deputy Mayor Hua's compliments to Meihe City and quickly exchanged a few words with him.
After a while, the female leader introduced the next foreign investor. She does not know this person's name and only mentioned his company. "This is the boss of Huanmei Group."
Clap … clap … clap … clap … clap …
Since everyone was clapping, Dong Xuebing and the rest also clapped. This was not a formality. This was to show how much Meihe City valued these foreign businessmen. But Dong Xuebing is not interested. He kept clapping and looked towards the entrance of the park. Zhang Longjuan had called to inform him that she had arrived, and she should have alighted from the plane. He does not know what time she will arrive. Dong Xuebing also wants to keep these foreign investors, but he knows it's impossible. Sister Zhang is the one he is most concerned about and is waiting for her.
One …
Three …
Five …
After the female leader introduced the five investors, she was a little speechless. It seemed that she could not remember the names and companies of the investors behind her. The foreign investors had just arrived, and she did not have the time to introduce them one by one. "Sorry." She looked at the next investor and apologized in English. She had to introduce them at least.
That investor is a Chinese man. But he might not have lived in China before, and his Mandarin is not good. "Wait for our … leader. Come over and introduce us."
Leader?
Oh, he is the leader?
The female leader asked for the time.
That Chinese man looked at his watch and said they should be arriving soon.
Generally, this kind of foreign investment inspection group was not necessarily familiar with each other. Some foreign businessmen did not even know each other. When a group of foreign businessmen formed an inspection group to invest abroad, they naturally needed a person who was familiar with each other, had prestige, and had a good understanding of the country to take the lead. Of course, assets were also an aspect to be considered. The leader might be the richest or the most popular among all of them. In any case, there would usually be a "leader" who would lead the team to unite the team and deal with the relevant affairs and contact the local people.
The female leader said to Hua Li, "Let's wait for the person leading the team to come. That boss had been living in China for the past 20 years and has a good relationship with the foreign businessmen. I will not introduce him. It's best to wait for her to introduce him. He might have some matters to attend to and left. He should be here soon." Pausing, she said, "Don't just stand there. Let's talk to each other first. "Let's talk to each other first."
Hua Li and Lv Weiguo immediately found a few investment staff who were fluent in English. They wanted to get closer to these foreign investors. However, the English they learned in university was a little rigid. All of them had graduated from university, but they had never studied abroad. It was obvious that they could only understand some slow or simple sentences. Many of the foreign businessmen had accents and spoke very fast. After communicating for a long time, they still could not understand what they were talking about. The investment staff could not translate what they were saying, let alone Hua Li and Lv Weiguo. After a long while, everyone felt like they were fighting. Only two Chinese people could speak a few words in Mandarin. The rest could not speak the language, so the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Hua Li turned around and frowned at the few English speaking staff, "You call this knowing English? Why can't you translate what you are saying? "
"They speak too fast."
"They have accents, and we can't understand them."
They were not professional translators after all, and their abilities were limited.
Hua Li looks at Lv Weiguo. "Go and contact the City Government to get a few translators over."
Dong Xuebing was laughing in his heart when he saw everyone talking to each other. He shook his head helplessly and lost his interest.
Suddenly, a car with a Provincial license plate arrived.
When the foreign businessmen saw the car, many of them smiled.
The female leader from the Provincial Government quickly said to Hua Li and the rest. "Alright. Their leader is here. With her around, there should be no problems."
Everyone turned to look at the car.
The car stopped, and a staff from the Provincial Government opened the other door to let the people inside alight.
As soon as the door opened, a beautiful foot wrapped in black stockings stretched out. The black high heel stepped on the ground, making a crisp sound.
The next moment, a beautiful middle-aged woman alighted from the car.
When Dong Xuebing saw this person, he was stunned!
