Evening, 9 pm.
Xiang Yi Hotel. Lobby.
A few County leaders had left, leaving the Investment Promotion Agency's staff looking at each other anxiously. There are still ten hours before tomorrow's investment fair starts, but only six investors have arrived. Park Yongxi's investment is gone, and there are no other investors. If this carries on, Yan Tai County will be in big trouble, and everyone in the Investment Promotion Agency will be held responsible!
What should we do?
Even the person-in-charge, Jia Yan, had pretended to be sick and was hospitalized!
At this time, Dong Xuebing entered the hotel. Sun Shuli, Luo Haiting, Lin Pingping, and the rest saw Chief Dong and ran over to welcome him. All of them had received news that Chief Dong will be reappointed as the person-in-charge of the investment fair.
"Chief."
"Chief Dong."
"Chief Jia is hospitalized, and …"
"Only six investors have arrived, and Master Park …"
Everyone chimed in one after another, finally finding their backbone.
Dong Xuebing looked at them and waved his hand. "What's there to panic about? I know what happened, and it's not a big deal. Alright. You all had worked hard today, and go back to sleep. "
Jiang Hailiang, Lin Pingping, and the rest were stunned. Go back? Sleep? Jia Yan had left a huge pile of things on this side, so how could they sleep? But seeing Chief Dong's calmness, everyone calmed down. Everyone felt Chief Dong's status is much higher than Jia Yan. Look at Chief Jia. He is full of empty promises and tried to push the blame to others when things changed. He even pretended to be sick and was hospitalized. But Chief Dong? But Chief Dong, he only said, "It's not a big deal," and still asked them to go home and sleep.
Luo Haiting hesitated. "Chief, this …"
"Go back." Dong Xuebing said. "Have a good rest. Everyone will be busy tomorrow."
Everyone doesn't know what to say. Chief Dong had said to go back. Even if the sky falls, there will be someone to hold it up for them.
Dong Xuebing asked his men to go back, as they will not be able to help and will leave a bad impression on the investors. After everyone left, Dong Xuebing called Park Yongxi. Park Yongxi is still awake, and they agreed to meet at a café. Xie Huilan had already secured the number of investors, and Dong Xuebing does not need to worry about this. What he needs to do now is to get a few more investments to slap Xiang Daofa and Jia Yan's faces again. He will let everyone know that Xiang Daofa had made a mistake by changing the person-in-charge, and he and Xie Huilan will get more credits. That's why he must do this well, and the more investments, the better.
Park Yongxi. Dong Xuebing is preparing to attack this mountain first.
Old Pu wasn't very particular about changing his mind at the last minute.
In a coffee shop.
When Dong Xuebing arrived, Park Yongxi is already waiting for him. He did not take a private room as there are not many people around at this time.
"Master Park." Dong Xuebing laughed. "Did I disturb your rest by asking you out so late?"
Park Yongxi laughed. "It's fine. I heard you are the person-in-charge of the investment fair again?"
"Yes. I am under a lot of pressure." Dong Xuebing sat on a chair and ordered a cup of coffee from the waiter. "Master Park, didn't we agree on this project? We cannot agree to your five-year tax exemption. This is a matter of principle, and even if Mayor Xie had asked me to give you the green light, I will not dare to do so. "
Park Yongxi smiled and said, "I know."
Dong Xuebing was stunned. "You know?" Why are you making such an outrageous request? What do you mean?
Park Yongxi did not reply and took a few sips of his coffee before replying. "We had agreed on this in the past, but I am only talking to you. I am not obligated to promise anyone."
Dong Xuebing paused for a second. "Then the project …"
"Since you are in charge of the investment fair again, there shouldn't be a problem. I had only mentioned the five years of tax exemption casually. Haha … let's stick to our original plan. I have already found the location of the project, and there is no need to discuss the contract anymore. We will sign the contract whenever you say so."
Dong Xuebing understood Park Yongxi is trying to help him. The five-year tax exemption is to make things difficult for Jia Yan, and he is forcing Dong Xuebing to take over the investment fair again. Dong Xuebing was touched. Although he is close to Park Yongxi and had sparred with him, they are not close yet. Also, Dong Xuebing thought Park Yongxi will hold a grudge against him after he defeated all the Taekwondo schools in Seoul. But Park Yongxi had helped him secretly and treated him as a friend!
Damn!
Old Park is a good friend!
Dong Xuebing banged the table, giving the waiter and Park Yongxi a fright. "Teacher Park, I will not say much. Just let me know if you need anything in the future!"
Park Yongxi laughed. "Don't scare me again. Haha … alright. You must help me take care of my projects in the future. I will be going back to Korea next month, and I can't stay here often."
"No problem. Don't worry. Whoever dares to mess up your projects will be going against me!"
Dong Xuebing is in a good mood and did not expect this problem to be resolved so easily. He continued to discuss the investment with Park Yongxi. When he heard Park Yongxi is going to invest 100 million RMB, he is overjoyed. But if Park Yongxi changes his attitude the moment he appeared, people will think he is the one who sabotaged the investment fair. That's why Dong Xuebing is embarrassed to mention this matter. Park Yongxi understood Dong Xuebing's intentions and immediately said he will attend the investment fair first. But he will not make it clear that he is going to invest. He will wait until the end before changing his attitude.
What a good friend!
Dong Xuebing felt Park Yongxi is a loyal friend and is worth befriending.
After leaving the café, Dong Xuebing felt the pressure on him is lifted. With Park Yongxi's 100 million RMB and Xiang Daofa's 40 million RMB, this investment fair can come to an end. Everyone can accept this outcome and had not expected it.
But is this the end?
Dong Xuebing is not someone who is satisfied with what he has. Since he wants to disgust others, he must disgust them all the way. Xiang Daofa had caused him so much trouble, and he will not let it go easily. Dong Xuebing is not satisfied with the investment of 150 million RMB. He must let everyone in Yan Tai County see Xiang Daofa and Jia Yan as a joke. He must let everyone see his ability and Xie Huilan's foresight.
That's right. Look for him!
Suddenly, Dong Xuebing remembered someone. He sat in the Santana and tapped on the steering wheel. He took out his phone and dialed a number.
Ring … ring … ring … ring …
The line got through. "Hello, who is this?"
"Teacher Mu, am I disturbing your rest?"
"Huh? Young man? Haha … I am not resting, and you finally called me. I have been waiting for you to contact me these few days. " The middle-aged man on the other end is Mu Zhengzhong. He owns his own private museum, and Dong Xuebing had given him the National Treasure he brought back from Japan. But Dong Xuebing did not even tell him his name, let alone his phone number.
Dong Xuebing blinked. "Are you looking for me?"
"Is it convenient to speak over there?"
"Yes. Go ahead."
"Hehe, you were the one who gave me the 'Snow Boat Splash Ink Landscape Painting'. Of course, I have to inform you. This painting has been returned to Japan. Of course, it was not returned for nothing. Because of the importance of this national treasure, after many negotiations, we finally got one national treasure, three first-class cultural relics, and five second-class cultural relics back from Japan. I have donated the national treasure and two first-class cultural relics back to the Palace Museum for free. The rest are in my museum, and we are preparing to display them these two days."
Dong Xuebing nodded. That < Snow Boat Landscape Painting > is useless, and he might as well exchange it for a few of his own country's relics. "… this is worth celebrating."
Mu Zhengzhong laughed. "The Japanese National Treasure is too troublesome, and we did not talk about it. Since we have exchanged it for our relics, I am thinking if I should give it to you …"
"It's too vulgar to talk about money. I had said I will donate it to your museum. "
"Not to mention the national treasures and the first-class cultural relics, just the five second-class cultural relics alone have a high market value. Hmm, although they are not allowed to be auctioned, their collection value cannot be ignored. I'm thinking of doing a preliminary calculation of the value of these cultural relics, and then …"
Dong Xuebing interrupted him. "Teacher Mu, I had said I will give them to you. Stop talking about remuneration. We are all from China, and you don't need to talk to me about remuneration."
"I owe you a big favor." Putting aside the value, just the fact that these items were placed in Mu Zhengzhong's museum was a huge profit.
"How about this?" Dong Xuebing blinked. "You can invest in our County."
Mu Zhengzhong was stunned. "Huh? Your County? Investment? "
"Err … my introduction is a little late. My name is Dong Xuebing, and I am the Chief of Yan Tai County's Investment Promotion Agency. We are organizing an investment fair now, but we are facing some difficulties. Err … I know you only deal in antiques, but investing in collectibles is similar to investing in businesses. If you feel bad about owing me a favor, you can invest in our company. I guarantee you will make money."
Investment Promotion Agency's staff?
Or the Chief?
Mu Zhengzhong is speechless. Dong Xuebing had stolen Japan's National Treasure from a well-guarded museum. This person … is from the Investment Promotion Agency? Or a government staff?
How can there be such a government staff?!
