Noon. The sun is high up in the sky, and the spring breeze is warm.
At the entrance of a seafood restaurant called "Haisheng".
Guo Panwei parked his Mercedes MPV at the open-air carpark, and Lin Pingping alighted from the car. She opened the door for Dong Xuebing and let him alight. Another staff from Business Section One is in his twenties. His name is Zhang Fan, and Lin Pingping had brought him along because he is involved in the planning and tracking of this project. Also, Zhang Fan can hold his liquor well. She had heard that the investor, Liang Zeyuan, is a big drinker, and she asked Zhang Fan to accompany him.
Lin Pingping said. "Xiao Zhang, it will depend on your performance this time."
Zhang Fan smiled. "Section Chief Lin, Mr. Liang's alcohol tolerance is about 1.5 liters. I was forced to drink by him the last time …"
"You are going crazy before you even drink?" Lin Pingping frowned. "You should not be so emotional. You must go all out today. If we get this deal, I will give you credit."
"I will try my best." Zhang Fan had no choice but to drink.
Dong Xuebing heard this and turned around. "Is the investor a good drinker?"
Lin Pingping smiled, "Last time, I saw Chief Liang drink a small bottle of Maotai alone. It was about 1.5 liters, and he was fine after drinking it. It seemed like he could drink a few more bottles without any problems. Chief Liang also likes people who can hold their liquor well. Yesterday, he chatted more with Little Zhang than he did with me. He wanted to strike while the iron was hot, but Little Zhang couldn't take it anymore after drinking half a liter, so we didn't get along."
Dong Xuebing felt dizzy. "You all drink according to weight, and I drink according to weight."
Lin Pingping laughed. "Me too. I can't hold my liquor for 5 liters."
"Haha … it's quite a lot." Dong Xuebing can only hold his liquor for 2 to 4 liters.
At this time, the investor's car arrived. A black Crown stopped in the parking lot. The door opened, and a dark-skinned middle-aged man alighted. His leather shoes were stained with dirt, and his body was covered with dust. It was as if he had just been to a construction site. Lin Pingping whispered to Dong Xuebing, and he knew this man is Liang Zeyuan. Hmmm … he does not look like a multi-millionaire and looks more like a small village entrepreneur.
Liang Zeyuan saw them from afar and laughed. "Section Chief Lin, Xiao Zhang, sorry to keep you waiting."
Lin Pingping laughed. "We had just arrived. Mr. Liang, let me introduce you. This is our Investment Promotion Agency's Chief Dong."
Dong Xuebing extended his hand. "I represent the Investment Promotion Agency to welcome Mr. Liang."
Chief? Liang Zeyuan was surprised to see Dong Xuebing so young. He smiled and shook hands with him. "Chief Dong, nice to meet you."
After a while, Dong Xuebing, Liang Zeyuan, Liang, and County's Mayor, Liang Fan, Liang, and Liang Fan, Liang Zeyuan, Dong, and Liang.

Liang Zeyuan did not say anything and asked his chauffeur to pour the liquor. After that, he suggested a toast.
But the County Government has laws prohibiting drinking during working hours. Zhao Xinglong still needs to return to the County Government in the afternoon, and Lin Pingping wanted to explain to Liang Zeyuan. Zhao Xinglong raised his glass and smiled. "I still need to work in the afternoon, but since Mr. Liang said so, I must drink this glass of wine. Just one glass. If Mayor Xie sees me drinking more, she will scold me. Haha …" Zhao Xinglong is very supportive of Zhao Xinglong's work.
Lin Pingping also clinked glasses with them and downed their glasses.
Zhang Fan and Guo Panwei are good drinkers, but Dong Xuebing is panicking.
Only Dong Xuebing was panicking. His glass was full of Jiuge, but he had not eaten anything since the dishes were served. His stomach was empty, and he will not be able to take the Jiuge. He was also afraid he would embarrass himself if he drank too much. That's why he had to take about 8 to 9 sips before finishing the glass. After putting down the glass, Dong Xuebing felt he had reached his "destination." If he had another glass, he would surely be drunk.
Dong Xuebing's head hurts.
Dong Xuebing's head is aching. This kind of situation will happen again in the future. But his alcohol tolerance is too low. If he drinks, he really can't drink. If he doesn't drink, who knows what the investors will think of him? Will they think he did not give them face? Also, if he has to drink with them in the future, Dong Xuebing will not be able to handle it.
This was a problem, and a big one at that.
As they chatted and ate, Dong Xuebing thought about how to overcome his low alcohol tolerance.
At the start of the banquet, everyone did not talk about work and only chatted casually. Most of the time, such matters will be discussed during the banquet. After interacting with Liang Zeyuan for a while, he had a good impression of him. He is a straightforward businessman and does not beat around the bush. During this period, Liang Zeyuan received a call, and it was a friend who wanted to borrow 1 million RMB from him. But Liang Zeyuan agreed without hesitation. He is very generous and generous.
Dong Xuebing nodded in his heart. He likes to interact with people like this.
"Eh?" Liang Zeyuan suddenly looks at Dong Xuebing's wrist. "Chief Dong, your watch?"
Lin Pingping looks at Dong Xuebing and knew Liang Zeyuan had seen Chief Dong's Patek Philippe watch. She also wants to know what is going on, as this watch is too expensive.
"Watch?" Dong Xuebing raised his wrist and laughed. "Mr. Liang, you also like watches?"
Liang Zeyuan laughed. "I don't know about watches, but I like diamonds. Chief Dong, the diamonds on your watch should be worth at least 1 million RMB, right?" Liang Zeyuan does not know the brand of the watch, but he knows about diamonds.
Guo Panwei's face changed. He is worried.
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I also don't know how much it is worth. I am just wearing it blindly."
Zhao Xinglong is afraid Liang Zeyuan will misunderstand and affect Yan Tai County's image. He laughed. "Chief Dong's situation is special. He is the richest government official in Yan Tai County." Seeing Liang Zeyuan, Lin Pingping, and the rest hesitated for a while, Zhao Xinglong said. "Chief Dong had won the lottery in Beijing." Almost all the government officials know about this, but the subordinates do not know about it.
Lin Pingping finally understood what is going on.
Guo Panwei was stunned, and Zhang Fan's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Dong Xuebing replied. "Mayor Zhao had exposed my background. Sorry for the embarrassment."
"Oh, I see." Liang Zeyuan is interested in Dong Xuebing. Won the lottery? Dong Xuebing is the Chief of the Investment Promotion Agency at such a young age? He is not an ordinary person.
After some brief exchanges, it's time to talk.
Lin Pingping asked. "Mr. Liang, how do you feel about your visit to our County?"
Dong Xuebing, Zhao Xinglong, and the rest look over.
Liang Zeyuan finished his glass of wine and placed it on the table. "Not bad. I had come to Yan Tai County five or six years ago, and it is much better than before. But I don't like to beat around the bush. To be honest, I had visited your County's cold storage site, and it is still lacking compared to Da Feng County."
Zhao Xinglong said. "Mr. Liang, the County is very interested in this pork processing plant. If we can get the investment, it will be one of the County's key projects."
Liang Zeyuan did not say anything. Da Feng County's leaders had also said the same thing, and it is not any lesser than Yan Tai County.
Dong Xuebing said. "You should have seen the County's support policies, right? Not only we can reduce the taxes, but we can also give you the best benefits for land acquisition. "
Zhang Pingping took out a document, placed it on the table, and showed it to Liang Zeyuan. "This is the project budget I just calculated this morning. The land acquisition is 3 million, the civil engineering is 4 million, and the facilities are 10 million. Adding the installation and commissioning fees, transportation fees, environmental protection fees, and unpredictable fees, the total investment is about 21 million. There are also tax deductions. This is the best we can do."
Liang Zeyuan looked at the document. "The land acquisition fees are not high, and it is within my expectations. But to be honest with you all, although Da Feng County's budget is slightly higher than your County, the facilities are better, and the production chain is more complete. This is what I value the most. That's why I am sorry. I will not say I will consider it when I get back. Actually, Da Feng County is more suitable to set up the factory."
This is a rejection.
Lin Pingping and the rest kept quiet. Sigh … it's still not enough.
Zhang Fan is slightly tipsy. "Mr. Liang, can you reconsider?"
Liang Zeyuan shook his head and looked at Zhang Fan. He laughed. "Xiao Zhang, you can hold your liquor well. You drank half a liter? How about this, Little Zhang? Ever since I was young, I've always admired people who can hold their liquor better than me. My alcohol tolerance is one liter, one liter at most. After drinking one liter, I won't know where I am anymore. Hehe, if you can drink more fiercely than me and can drink three liters of wine, I'll go back and do some research. How about it? "He was a person who liked to make friends with fair-weather friends.
Little Zhang was dumbfounded when he heard that.
Holy sh * t! 1.5 liters of alcohol?! I will drink myself to death! Other than those professional waiters from the State Council, how many people in this world can drink 1.5 liters of alcohol?
Zhang Pingping, Zhao Xinglong, and the rest looked at Zhang Fan.
Zhang Pingping's expression is clear. Xiao Zhang! Go!
Zhao Xinglong also looked at Zhang Fan encouragingly.
Zhang Fan was on the verge of tears. He really couldn't drink it!
Suddenly, Dong Xuebing blinked. "Mr. Liang, are you serious?"
