Next day. Morning.
Today is the opening day of the investment fair, and all the staff had arrived at Xiang Yi Hotel. The lobby is very busy.
He saw Sun Shuli, Luo Haiting, and the rest had arrived early, and he ordered. "Director Luo, get a few people and the hotel staff to tidy up the venue. Old Sun, have you decided on the order of the opening ceremony?" Sun Shuli asked. Luo Haiting, Luo Haiting, and the rest had arrived early in the morning. "Director Luo, get a few people and the hotel staff to tidy up the venue.
"It's Jia Yan."
"Who is the investor representative?"
"Master Park is supposed to be the one to speak, but now …"
"Change it a little. I have someone else in mind."
Dong Xuebing turned to Lin Pingping, who was talking to someone at the front desk. "Xiao Lin, let me take a look at the brochure."
Lin Pingping quickly walks over to Dong Xuebing with a colorful brochure.
Dong Xuebing looked at the brochure and nodded. "Alright. Just remember to prepare a few more brochures."
"Prepare more brochures? Oh … I will go and ask them to hurry up. "Lin Pingping did not ask further and left.
"Xiao Jiang." Dong Xuebing looked at Jiang Hailiang. "Get someone to check outside and inform me immediately if there are any investors!"
"Yes, Sir!"
In the morning, a few businessmen arrived at the hotel for the conference. Including those who arrived yesterday, there are only 10 businessmen in the hotel. The situation is still the same. Chief Dong is around, and no one is frowning, but they are feeling bitter in their hearts. They are not doubting Dong Xuebing's ability, and they believe Chief Dong will do better if he is the one in charge of the investment fair. But it's too late now. Chief Dong had just been appointed last night, and a few hours can't change anything. Time is too tight.
After a while, Deputy Mayor Zhao Xinglong and many people from the County Government arrived.
"Mayor Zhao." Dong Xuebing saw Guo Panwei and immediately went over to greet him.
Zhao Xinglong looks around. "Mayor Xie will be here soon. How is the situation? If you can't make it in time, can you postpone the opening ceremony to noon? "
Dong Xuebing laughed. "No need. We can make it in time."
"Good." Zhao Xinglong nodded when he saw Dong Xuebing calmly. "I trust you."
"Haha, now that you mention it, I'm under even more pressure."
The investment fair had become the focus of the whole county, and Party Secretary Xiang had made a fool of himself. No matter from an economic or political point of view, everyone had to pay attention to this fair. Xie Huilan and Dong Xuebing had gained the most from this competition. Everyone knows that even if Chief Dong does not manage the investment fair well, no one will be able to find fault with him. Why? It's too late for Dong Xuebing to take over, and he might use this as an excuse to push all the blame to Jia Yan. But if the investment fair is successful, it will be a big problem. Party Secretary Xiang will be furious, and Chief Dong will be a bargaining chip for him and Mayor Xie.
This is a game that can change Yan Tai County's political situation. All the leaders in Yan Tai County are keeping an eye on this important event.
Suddenly, someone from Business Section 2 ran into the hotel. "Chief Dong! Boss Park is here! "
Sun Shuli, Jiang Hailiang, and the rest were excited. Boss Park had said he will not invest or participate in the investment fair.
Zhao Xinglong is very concerned and walked out with Dong Xuebing.
Park Yongxi alighted from his car and smiled at them. "Mayor Zhao, Chief Dong, sorry for being late. Did you miss the opening ceremony?"
"No. Please come in."
Zhao Xinglong welcomed Park Yongxi in and asked him about the investment. Park Yongxi's tone softened and did not mention the five-year tax exemption again. He only said that he will consider it seriously during the investment fair. Park Yongxi did not even want to meet Jia Yan yesterday, and he changed his attitude after Chief Dong took over. Everyone in the Investment Promotion Agency can tell Park Yongxi is very respectful to Dong Xuebing, and Chief Dong's words carry weight.
Everyone in the Investment Promotion Agency is relieved. If Park Yongxi can invest, this investment fair will be a success.
This was a reassuring pill.
"Master Park, let me bring you to the venue first."
"Chief Dong, go ahead with your work. I will go alone."
"Then … Xiao Zhang, accompany Master Park and make sure you treat him well." Dong Xuebing ordered Business Section 1's Zhang Fan to accompany him.
"Ah! Master Park, this way please. "Zhang Fan said.
Zhao Xinglong smiled and patted Dong Xuebing's shoulder as Park Yongxi entered the elevator. Just when he was about to say something, another Investment Promotion Agency staff walked in and pointed outside. "Mayor Zhao, Chief Zhao, there is a fleet of cars here. I'm not sure if … but they did not make an appointment." When he contacted the investors, if they agreed to attend the meeting, there would be a record. But the cars at the entrance were all Beijing car plates. He did not remember the leaders of the bureau inviting Beijing businessmen. No, no Beijing investors had agreed to attend the meeting.
Most of the cars are black Mercedes-Benz, and a few are Lexus and A8.
Luo Haiting and Lin Pingping exchanged looks. They felt these people are not here for the investment fair and might be passing by the hotel.
The car door opened, and a middle-aged man alighted from the black Mercedes. He looked at Zhao Xinglong, Sun Shuli, and the rest and saw Dong Xuebing. He laughed and walked up to Dong Xuebing. He extended his hand. "Are you Chief Dong?"
Dong Xuebing shook hands with him. "You are?"
"I'm Old Yu. We spoke over the phone last night!"
"Oh, Manager Yu!" Dong Xuebing knew this is the investment group Xie Huilan had contacted. "Nice to meet you."
Dong Xuebing is not sure what Manager Yu's relationship with Xie Huilan is, but he is very friendly towards Dong Xuebing. "Come, let me introduce you. This is Manager Luo. He is the major shareholder of an auto parts factory in Beijing. This is Manager Qi. He is in the financial industry, and Manager Liu is my old classmate. He is working on an agriculture product project …" There are about three to four people in each car, and they seem to know each other.
Dong Xuebing smiled and quickly introduced Zhao Xinglong and the rest of the people in charge of the Investment Promotion Agency to the hotel.
Everyone in the Investment Promotion Agency was shocked. Chief Dong had brought these investors over? How can he bring so many people over in one night?
But before they can discuss the details, two more fleets of cars arrived. All of them have Dongshan Province's license plates.
Dong Xuebing had heard that Xie Huilan's Aunt, Xie Guoyue, lives in Dongshan Province, and Xie Guoyue's husband, Hou Xingan, is the Deputy Governor of Dongshan Province. That's why Dong Xuebing knew these are Xie Huilan's connections.
The inside and outside of the hotel became busy.
In just half an hour, more than 80 investors had filed in. Including those who had arrived earlier, there were a total of 100 people!
Luo Haiting did not expect so many people to arrive and did not expect the situation to change so quickly. She quickly called the Investment Promotion Agency and got four more people from her office. When the other county government officials saw this, they also made calls and transferred six to seven people from the county government office to help deal with this situation.
No one expected the once quiet investment fair to suddenly become bustling with activity!
Chief Dong had just returned to the investment fair, and he managed to attract so many investors within one night? First from the capital, then from Dongshan Province? This person's network was too wide!
…
Meanwhile.
In a ward at the County People's Hospital.
Jia Yan, who had a splitting headache, woke up. He woke up from his drunkenness and sleep. He opened his eyes and looked around in confusion. Hospital? Sitting up from the bed, he had a terrible headache. He rubbed his temples and tried to recall. Suddenly, Jia Yan's face changed and he looked at his watch. It was already 8: 30 in the morning.
Investment fair!
Shit!
Jia Yan quickly took out his phone to make a call, but his phone is out of battery. He quickly put on his clothes and ran downstairs to hail a cab. Jia Yan had drunk too much with the investors yesterday, and Baijiu is harder to swallow than beer. Jia Yan is still feeling dizzy in the car. But no matter what, he must endure it. The investment fair is his top priority, and the opening ceremony is about to begin. As the person-in-charge, how can he not be present?
"Sir, do you have a mobile phone?"
"Why?"
"Lend it to me for a while. I need to make a call."
"… no."
Jia Yan kept quiet and stared at his watch anxiously. He wonders what is happening at the investment fair.
When Jia Yan alighted from the car at the hotel's entrance, he saw an unbelievable scene. The Investment Promotion Agency's staff are busy chatting with the middle-aged man beside them, and some are handing out promotional materials and project lists. Lin Pingping and Jiang Hailiang are also chatting with a few men with slicked-back hair. They seem to be promoting their projects. Jia Yan can tell those people in the lobby are investors from their attire. What's going on? Why are so many people here? There are only six of them.
Hahaha!
Jia Yan is overjoyed. With so many people supporting him, he had completed his mission. He just needs to step up his efforts to attract more than 100 million RMB worth of investments.
Jia Yan quickly walks over to the hotel and asked. "Xiao Lin, have you sent out all the information?"
Only then did Lin Pingping and Jiang Hailiang notice Jia Yan. Both of them were stunned and almost fainted from anger!
Damn!
You still have the cheek to come?!
