Daytime.
The whole County is busy preparing for next month's Business Fair.
The whole County is preparing for next month's Merchants Cultural Festival. Choosing the venue, booking hotels, lighting and sound equipment, contacting investors, etc. Those who cannot make up their minds must ask Dong Xuebing and Zhang Dongfang for instructions. Although Dong Xuebing said he will only be in charge of the Cultural Festival Gala, and the rest will be handled by the County Government. But as the County's County's County Chief, Dong Xuebing cannot just sit back and do all the work. He still needs to approve many things personally.
One hour …
Three hours …
Five hours …
Dong Xuebing finally got off work.
When the time is up, Dong Xuebing does not want to work overtime and asked Su Yan to stay behind to keep an eye on him. If anything happens, Dong Xuebing boarded his car and left. He is not trying to slack off, but he still has work to do. The venue, equipment, rental, etc. are all minor issues, and Zhang Dongfang is around, and Dong Xuebing doesn't need to worry about him. What he needs to do now is to recruit the actors and stars. This is the highlight of this event. If he can't recruit the actors and stars, he might as well cancel this investment fair. The other Counties' leaders are also waiting to see how Dong Xuebing will recruit the actors and stars without spending a single cent. If Dong Xuebing fails to recruit the actors and stars, he might as well cancel this investment fair. The other Counties' leaders are waiting to see how Dong Xuebing will recruit the actors and stars without spending a single cent. If Dong Xuebing does not manage to get any actors and stars to participate, he will lose his reputation, and this will affect his promotion to the Deputy City Hall in a few months. That's why Dong Xuebing cannot afford to fail.
Back at home.
The setting sun shines on the floor.
Dong Xuebing went to his bedroom on the second floor and took off his coat before walking to his desk. He switched on the lights and took out a notebook and a pen. After that, he took out his phone and called Zhang Longjuan, who is in the US. Ring … ring … ring … ring … ring … Dong Xuebing is not sure if Zhang Longjuan is sleeping, and the line got through after nine rings. The voice is noisy, and there is some delay.
"Xiao Bing?" On the other end, Zhang Longjuan let out a big yawn. Her voice was a little rough, and she sounded a little sleepy and hoarse.
"Oh, are you sleeping?" Dong Xuebing asked.
Zhang Longjuan said lazily, "There's a time difference between us, so we were sleeping soundly."
Dong Xuebing replied embarrassedly. "Sorry to disturb you. I have something to attend to."
Zhang Longjuan chuckled, "You don't have to be so courteous with your Sister Zhang. Ha, I won't disturb you. My little handsome brother is calling me. I'm always free. I'm just waiting for your Sister Zhang to light a cigarette." Bada. The lighter on the other end of the line flickered. Then, he heard her say, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "We will be holding an Investment Promotion Cultural Festival next month. Can you come over if you are free? Symbolically invest in a project? "
Zhang Longjuan laughed and said, "Kid, you have to attract investment every time you go to a place, right?"
Dong Xuebing smiled. "I am doing this for the sake of the people. Also, I am familiar with this area."
Zhang Longjuan did not object. "Alright. Early next month? I know. If your Sister Zhang can't make it, I'll ask my company's people to go over. I'll definitely support our little handsome boy's business. Haha, but I might really be free at the beginning of next month, so I should be able to go. At that time, I also have something to discuss with you. Let's not talk about it. We'll talk when we meet, it's not convenient to talk on the phone. "
"Ok." Dong Xuebing replied.
Zhang Longjuan yawned again. "Then your Sister Zhang will be sleeping now."
"Wait a while. I still have something to ask you." Dong Xuebing asked. "Do you know any foreign celebrities from your side?"
"What is it?" Zhang Longjuan asked.
Dong Xuebing replied. "We are holding an Investment Promotion Cultural Festival, and I want to hold an Art Gala. So …"
Zhang Longjuan thought for a while. "Haha … I will ask around for you. I do know a few celebrities, but I am not sure about their schedules." Dong Xuebing knew Sister Zhang knows these celebrities.
Dong Xuebing knew Sister Zhang. She had lived in Fu Zhou for many years and is a billionaire. She is also the sole proprietor of a company, and she is famous overseas. She should have connections. But Dong Xuebing added. "Err … our County's finances are not very good. Err … we can guarantee your plane tickets and accommodation. But about the appearance fees … we might …"
Zhang Longjuan laughed. "You own quite a lot of my shares, and you are worth more than 1 billion. You can't even afford this?"
Dong Xuebing explained. "Sister Zhang, it's not that I don't want to invest, but this is our County's investment fair. If I am the only one paying, I will not be able to hide it. This is against the County's procedures and principles, and we will have to go through the County's accounts. Err … our government does things differently from the business world, and there are many restrictions. I cannot make an exception." Dong Xuebing paused for a while and continued. "But if you are willing to sponsor a few foreign celebrities, it is fine. Of course, you can deduct the money from my shares and dividends." Dong Xuebing is doing this for him, and he does not want Sister Zhang to be taken advantage of. Personal relationship is personal, and business is business.
Zhang Longjuan laughed. "Alright. I am just joking with you. Do you think I will ask you to sponsor a few celebrities? You are our company's second biggest shareholder, and you don't even know about our company's investments? We are an investment company, and we don't just focus on one industry. We do real estate and media. A few years ago, I invested in an American entertainment company. Although the company's scale isn't that big, it's not a small company. There are still a few big shots in the company. Although I'm not the biggest shareholder of the company, I only have 8% of the shares, but I can still participate in the shareholders' meeting. Do they dare to not give me face? That's why you all don't need to worry about the air tickets and accommodation. I will help you contact them, and it will depend on their schedules. "
Dong Xuebing replied. "Oh, that's great. Thank you, Sister Zhang."
"You also have shares in the company. Stop wasting time with me. Alright. If there's nothing else, I will go to bed." Zhang Longjuan replied.
"Alright. Go to bed."
"Come. Give me a kiss."
"Huh … this … we will talk about it when you are here."
"Hahaha … I will stop teasing you. Get lost."
