Morning.
Airport.
More than twenty cars, including buses, vans, and sedans, are waiting outside the airport.
Jiaolin County's people had split into several groups. Some stayed behind to prepare the venue and hotels to welcome the investors, and some are local investors. The County's Investment Promotion Agency's staff had already received them. Another group of people from the County's government agencies had gone to the two biggest train stations in the Province to pick up the investors. These investors are from nearby provinces, and it's more convenient to travel by train than by plane. The last group is the biggest group in the County, and it includes Dong Xuebing, Zhang Dongfang, and the rest. They had come to the airport to receive the guests. Some important investors and guests will be alighting here, and most of the group is gathered here. Zhang Dongfang's County Government is in charge of contacting the investors, while Dong Xuebing's County Party Committee is in charge of the Cultural Festival Gala. The division of labor is clear, and Dong Xuebing and Zhang Dongfang had agreed in advance to prevent their subordinates from arguing with each other. This is to increase efficiency, and they will be in the best condition for tomorrow's Cultural Festival.
"Ah … they are here!"
“GS7717？ That's right. "
"Leader, the investors from the South are here."
The staff immediately reported to Dong Xuebing and Zhang Dongfang. The tickets are booked by the Investment Promotion Agency, and they have a record of which investors are arriving on which flight.
"Information." Zhang Dongfang replied.
The staff from the County's Investment Promotion Agency passed the investors' information to Mayor Zhang.
Wei Zhixuan quickly reaches out. "Give me a copy too. Everyone, get ready."
Zhang Dongfang quickly memorized the list. This time, there are about a hundred investors, and most of them are from the Provincial Government. Zhang Dongfang and the rest had interacted with them in the past and are familiar with them. But the rest of the investors were contacted by Zhang Dongfang through their connections, and there are also some investors who volunteered to participate. Zhang Dongfang and the rest had never met these investors before, and they need to prepare their homework. It is impossible for Zhang Dongfang to memorize all the names, companies, and industries of these investors. Zhang Dongfang had been very busy these few days, and he can't expect an old comrade like him to memorize all the names and companies. Furthermore, the investment fair is in a rush, and he doesn't have enough time to memorize all the names and companies of these investors.
Dong Xuebing did not say anything as he is also waiting for his actor. But from the signage in the lobby, the flight he is waiting for is delayed, and he doesn't know when it will arrive. That's why he is not in a hurry and made a few calls. He did not go to pick up the investors as Old Zhang and Old Wei are more than enough.
Over there.
Many people rushed out of the lobby after Zhang Dongfang gave the order.
As soon as Zhang Dongfang gave the order, the staff of Jiaolin County immediately raised a banner to welcome the investors. As there were many people to pick up today, there was naturally no specific information written on the banner. It was enough to just hang the words "Jiaolin County" and "Welcome Investors".
Someone saw the banner, and three people walked over. It's two men and a woman. They are not young, and the youngest is in his forties. Although they are dressed casually and don't stand out, Zhang Dongfang and the Investment Promotion Agency's staff know this is a sign of a company's scale. At their level, they don't need to show off their looks. This is to keep a low profile and show their confidence in themselves. On the other hand, those people with gold chains, watches, and branded clothes are not as glamorous as they look.
"Are you all from Jiaolin County?" The woman among the three men asked.
Zhang Dongfang laughed. "I am Jiaolin County's Mayor, Zhang Dongfang. This is Deputy Party Secretary, Wei Zhixuan. Welcome. We have been waiting for you all."
The woman is good with words and laughed. "It's an honor for Mayor Zhang to come here personally."
Zhang Dongfang, Wei Zhixuan, and the rest of the leaders shook hands with them. "It's our honor for all of you to take time out of your busy schedules to visit our County."
The woman said. "Oh, I have not introduced myself. My name is Wang Ying."
Zhang Dongfang thought for a while and replied. "Oh, it's Manager Wang. I have heard of you. Manager Wang's real estate company is very famous in the South." Because there were not many women among the investors who got off the plane, Zhang Dongfang really remembered them. However, he only remembered that the other party was in the real estate business. He couldn't remember the company name and other things, so he could only use some general words to fool them.
Wang Ying waved her hand. "He's not famous. He's just a nobody."
"Manager Wang, you are too humble. Haha." Wei Zhixuan also did not remember Wang Ying's name and doesn't know how to compliment Wang Ying.
The people in the investment department knew Wang Ying, and they also memorized it according to the list. But at this time, it was not good to remind the leaders. It would be unnatural. But if they did not interject, the scene would not be so warm, and they would not be able to build a relationship. Instead, it might make the investors feel that the county leaders did not respect them. After all, they were invited by the county, and these people were obviously not small businessmen. The result was that they did not even know the name of the company? That would be too much of a hindrance to others.
This is the truth.
When the unsmiling middle-aged man introduced himself, the two men and one woman who were obviously acquainted with each other didn't have much of a good attitude anymore. Their gazes also dimmed a lot.
"I am Zhou Zhongxiang."
"Hello, Boss Zhou."
Zhang Dongfang and Wei Zhixuan exchanged a few pleasantries with him, but they didn't say anything else. They didn't even remember what kind of business Zhou Zhongxiang's company was in.
A young man from the County Investment Promotion Agency said. "Manager Zhou's real estate company is very famous, and I heard it will be listed soon."
Zhou Zhongxiang looked at him and did not say a word.
Wang Ying and the other man also looked at each other.
They couldn't be blamed for being in a bad mood. The three of them could be considered relatively famous real estate developers in the industry. Jiaolin County had invited them because they knew them very well, but in the end, that wasn't the case at all. They could tell from a few words that the other party didn't know the three of them at all. This time, the invitation was probably spread out. From this point, it could also be seen that the other party didn't particularly value them. For some small investors, they might not think too much about it. However, for businessmen of their level, this would affect their willingness to invest.
The three of them kept quiet.
Zhang Dongfang and Wei Zhixuan are also puzzled and don't know what went wrong.
The Investment Promotion Agency staff, who had spoken too much earlier, finally realized what happened. He quickly looked at the investor's file and started sweating. He had tried to help the County leaders build a good relationship with the investor, but it backfired!
He remembered wrongly!
He had remembered wrongly that investor will be listed!
"Huh … err … no … just now …" That Investment Promotion Agency staff stuttered.
Zhang Dongfang gave him a stare. How can he not know that it is his men who made a mistake? He had instructed them not to make any mistakes, and this is the first batch of investors. How is your Investment Promotion Agency prepared?! The leaders don't have time to memorize all these, and some of them might not remember it. They need your Investment Promotion Agency to be the lubricant! But …! You all remembered wrongly?! What will the investors think?! They might have invested in this company, but now, they are in trouble!
This is a bad start!
Zhang Dongfang is very unhappy!
The atmosphere of the scene became awkward!
Dong Xuebing had hung up and did not notice what was going on. But when he overheard their conversation, he frowned and shook his head. But he cannot blame them. His schedule is too tight, and they do not have much time to prepare. The Investment Promotion Agency is the busiest department, and it's normal for something to go wrong. So, Dong Xuebing walked over to that group of people.
"What's going to be listed?" Dong Xuebing smiled.
Wang Ying, Zhou Zhongxiang, and Dong Xuebing look at this young man and wonder who he is.
Zhang Dongfang introduced him to the investors. "This is our Jiaolin County's Party Secretary, Dong Xuebing."
Zhou Zhong wanted to look at Dong Xuebing and greeted him casually. Wang Ying also shook Dong Xuebing's hand with a smile and did not say anything else.
The Investment Promotion Agency staff who made a mistake said. "Secretary Dong, I …"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "You are from the Investment Promotion Agency, and you don't even know Manager Zhou. Why are you still recruiting investors? You are going to be listed soon? Manager Zhou's' Wanxiang Real Estate 'had been listed on the Growth Enterprise Market since April 15th last year, and the company had just acquired a good plot of land in Jiangnan earlier this year. The few projects they acquired last year had made high profits, and their share prices had risen three times in a row. I believe if we can get financing from Fang Ke next year, the share prices will rise further. "Dong Xuebing paused for a while and looked at the Investment Promotion Agency staff." Do you know who I am now? Do you remember? "
That staff replied nervously. "Yes. I'm sorry, Secretary."
Zhou Zhongxiang, Wang Ying, and the rest of the investors were stunned. Even Zhang Dongfang, Wei Zhixuan, and the rest of the people from Jiaolin County were stunned.
Damn!
How did Secretary Dong know about this?
April 15th last year? He even knows the exact date? It's the same as the information they have in their hands. But the information is in the hands of the Investment Promotion Agency and Zhang Dongfang. Did Secretary Dong know about this beforehand? He even memorized everything?
That's impossible, right?
