Before noon.
The information of more than a dozen foreign companies is out.
All the Investment Promotion Agencies in the Counties received the first-hand information.
Firstly, this document confirmed the identities of the foreign investors. They were indeed shareholders and investment consultants of foreign corporations, and most of the companies were from Fuzhou. Secondly, it also listed the assets and business direction of the companies of more than ten people. As expected, other than two or three companies with assets of a few hundred million RMB, the rest of the people in the delegation were all large corporations with assets of a few billion RMB. Furthermore, many people guessed one thing correctly. The most prestigious person leading the delegation was Chief Zhang Longjuan. Her company's assets had actually reached tens of billions of RMB. It was no wonder that the other people in the delegation followed her lead. Not only did their companies have business dealings with Chief Zhang's company or were friends, Zhang Longjuan's ability was also there. Therefore, this information immediately gave everyone in Meihe City a reassurance. Everyone was even more envious of these foreign businessmen. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were fanatical about them.
Hotel.
Small banquet hall.
Dozens of people entered the banquet hall.
"Everyone, please. Manager Zhang, you can take the main seat."
"Haha, Mayor Hua, don't stand on ceremony. You should take the seat."
"I don't think so. Our Mayor's secretary had just informed me that the Mayor will be arriving soon."
"Oh, the Mayor is coming too? How can I accept this? His leader is very busy … "
"The City is very concerned about your team's research, and they will surely be here. The Party Secretary is in another city on a business trip and might be back soon."
"All the more reason for me not to take the main seat. Leave it to the Party Secretary and the Mayor."
"Oh right, about the dishes … should we order something like Western cuisine?"
"No need. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. We also want to try our Meihe City's local cuisine."
"Alright. We will order according to the banquet standard. Serve every dish once, and if you are not used to it, we will add Western cuisine."
"Ok. We will listen to Mayor Hua's arrangements."
"Old Lu, let our people take their seats."
Dong Xuebing was the last to enter the banquet hall. When he saw the banquet hall, he was stunned. This time, not only Hua Li, Lv Weiguo, and the City Investment Promotion Agency's leaders are here. Dong Xuebing saw Chen Mingming and Ma Yanfen, who had treated Zhen Shui County badly. But the main table is filled with foreign investors, and Hua Li, Lv Weiguo, and the City's Party Secretary and Mayor's seats are reserved. Those District and County's Chiefs can only sit at the second table.
"Mayor Dong is here?" A City Investment Promotion Agency staff looks at Dong Xuebing.
Zhang Longjuan looked at Dong Xuebing and smiled. "Mayor Dong, let's sit together."
Dong Xuebing glanced at Dong Xuebing. Anyway, he still has many opportunities to interact with them, and he doesn't mind waiting for a while. He had rushed to attend this banquet because he is afraid Sister Zhang's team's investors will be lured away by other Counties. Since the other County's leaders are sitting at the other table, Dong Xuebing doesn't mind. "No, I will sit at that table. There are no more seats."
Zhang Longjuan chuckled. "Alright then."
Hua Li and Lv Weiguo also did not invite Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing did not mind and walked to the second table.
Ma Yanfen smiled and stood up. "Mayor Dong, sit here. I had reserved a seat for you."
That's the main table, and Dong Xuebing did not reject her. After all, he is the Executive Deputy Mayor and has a higher rank than the County's Chief.
Ma Yanfen is sitting beside him. "Mayor Dong, you are too secretive."
Chen Mingming, who was sitting beside them, laughed. "Zhen Shui County is in the limelight this time. Old Zheng is also too much. We are friends for so many years, and you still dare to hide it from me."
Another District's Investment Promotion Agency Chief asked. "Mayor Dong, how long will the foreign investors' visit team last?"
Dong Xuebing did not reveal anything. "I am not sure, and I had never asked. One week? One month? "
After that, another Bureau Chief tried to get some information from Dong Xuebing. But Dong Xuebing still did not reveal anything. He sat there drinking tea and smoking while waiting for the dishes to be served.
Ma Yanfen could not sit still and interrupted. "The foreign investors will be visiting tomorrow, right? Mayor Dong, our Counties are not far from each other. When the foreign investors are done with their visit, can you introduce them to our County? Let me say this first. I am not trying to snatch your Zhen Shui County's investments. I am just asking the investors to visit our County. You are very close to Manager Zhang, and you can just say the word. "
Dong Xuebing looked at Ma Yanfen. "It is still up to Manager Zhang and the rest. My words do not mean anything. If they want to visit your County, you all can contact them yourself."
The County's Bureau Chief also felt the same way and contacted the foreign investors. All of them want to bring this group of people to their County. But there are more than a dozen Counties in Meihe City, and these foreign investors are busy. They will not stay for a few months, or at most one month. It is unrealistic to visit all the Counties within a month, and there will always be other options. Zhen Shui County's Mayor Dong is very close to Manager Zhang, and if he says something, he might be able to decide the direction of the foreign investors' visit. Everyone wants Dong Xuebing to be the middleman. Zhen Shui County, which was isolated by the City and all the Counties' Investment Promotion Agencies two hours ago, had become a hot topic. Everyone's attitude towards Dong Xuebing had changed, and only a few Bureau Chief did not say anything. They should be thinking of ways to snatch Dong Xuebing away.
"Hmmm …"
"I don't know."
"I also can't make the decision."
"You all can ask Manager Zhang and the rest."
Dong Xuebing started to put on airs and repeated the four sentences from the start to the end. His tone is very bureaucratic and does not think much of it in his heart. This incident had made Dong Xuebing disappointed with the City Government and the Investment Promotion Agencies. He also does not have a good impression of the other Counties' Investment Promotion Agencies. Oh, when you don't need our help, all of you are so rude. But when you need our help, all of you are so friendly?
Who are you trying to coax?
Don't try this with me!
Dong Xuebing did not listen to them. When the dishes were served, he lowered his head and continued eating. He ignored the rest of the Bureau chiefs.
People are in high spirits.
Dong Xuebing looked at the table full of foreign businessmen and the County's Bureau Chief, and his appetite was aroused.
