One day …
Two days …
Three days …
The May Day holiday is over, and the investment fair has entered its climax.
Dong Xuebing is giving instructions in Xiang Yi Hotel. "Director Luo, hurry up. Why is the venue not ready yet? It's about to start, and Mayor Xie will be here in twenty minutes! "
Luo Haiting quickly replied. "We are setting it up now, and it will be ready soon."
"Section Chief Lin!" Dong Xuebing asked. "Have you prepared the speech?"
"Yes." Lin Pingping replied.
"Alright. Old Sun, contact the investors again. Master Park is not here yet, and call him to see if there is a traffic jam. If not, go and fetch him."
"Yes, Sir."
Everyone in the Investment Promotion Agency is in high spirits. They had put in a lot of effort in the past few days, and it's finally time to reap the rewards. Many of them are looking forward to it. Some of the projects had been negotiated for a long time, and some had only been settled in a hurry this morning. That's why no one knows how much the investment will be during the closing meeting. But from Chief Dong's excited expression, they can guess it should be a lot. The total investment should be at least 150 million RMB.
150 million RMB!
This credit will benefit everyone in the Investment Promotion Agency!
Dong Xuebing is the busiest. He had been working from 6 am to 9 pm every day. Not only he had to accompany the investors to visit some projects, but he also had to talk to the investors about every possible investment. Dong Xuebing felt he had spoken more in the past two days than he had in the past year. His voice is almost hoarse from all the talking he had done in the past two days. But this morning, he had settled the final investment deal, and he felt his hard work over the past few days was worth it.
"Chief, the investment amount …" Jiang Hailiang asked curiously.
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I need to keep you in suspense. You will know when the time comes."
Jiang Hailiang heard Dong Xuebing's reply. Could it be the investment amount is more than 150 million RMB? 200 million RMB? Slightly more than 200 million RMB?
After a while, the County Government's leaders arrived.
The television station and newspaper reporters immediately pointed their cameras over.
The first person to enter the hotel is Mayor Xie, followed by Zhao Xinglong, who is in charge of Investment Promotion, and Government Office Director Yao Yi. She did not see anyone from the County's Party Committee. The County's Party Secretary should be present at the closing ceremony of this investment fair to show how important this fair is and to not miss out on this opportunity. But everyone knows Xiang Daofa's son had gotten into trouble a few days ago, and he is suspected to have damaged Yan Tai County's economy. Xiang Daofa and Mayor Xie had reached a compromise, and that's why he is not present.
Ten minutes later.
In the small hall of the hotel, the closing ceremony began.
Instead of calling it the closing ceremony, it is more appropriate to call it the contract signing ceremony. This is the last day of the investment fair, and it is also the crucial moment to test the investment fair's results. But many of the projects are not confirmed yesterday, and no one knows how much they will get from this investment fair. Many people are waiting to see the contract signing results, and some are waiting to see Mayor Xie and Dong Xuebing make a fool of themselves. If they don't even get 100 million RMB, they will be a laughing stock.
Clap … clap … clap … clap … clap …
On the rostrum, Lin Pingping walked up with light steps and a face full of smiles. "Good morning, leaders, distinguished guests …"
There are more than a hundred people in the venue. Some of the investors had left, but some of them had not signed the contract. The remaining people are the County Government, Investment Promotion Agency's staff, TV stations, and newspapers. The atmosphere is very lively.
After some opening speeches, Xie Huilan and Zhao Xinglong went up to give their speeches.
Finally, the most anticipated contract signing ceremony started, and Lin Pingping invited Dong Xuebing to the podium.
Xie Huilan did not walk down the podium and stood on the podium with a smile. Many people knew Mayor Xie is going to host the contract signing ceremony personally.
Dong Xuebing walked up to the podium calmly and held the microphone to announce the first project. It's an agricultural product investment. This investor is Li Jie, one of the investors Xie Huilan had invited from Shandong Province. Although Xie Huilan's intention is to increase the number of investors, there might be people who are concerned about Yan Tai County's economy. Li Jie is one of them. After two days of Dong Xuebing's hard work, they finally got this project. The total investment is 20 million RMB, and it's an unexpected gain.
The signing ceremony started.
The Investment Promotion Agency's staff prepared the contract, and Xie Huilan and Li Jie signed it. After that, Li Jie passed a one-meter-long ICBC 20 million RMB cheque to Xie Huilan. They shook hands, and the cameras started flashing. This cheque is fake, and it's only for the people in the audience to see.
After that, Dong Xuebing announced another project. It's a 30 million RMB investment.
This is one of the investors the Investment Promotion Agency had invited.
The total contract amount is 50 million RMB!
Sun Shuli, Luo Haiting, Lin Pingping, and the rest are excited. This is just the beginning, and they have already gotten 50 million RMB? Doesn't that mean …
"Let's welcome Manager Zhou Zhengliang." Dong Xuebing said.
Zhou Zhengliang is the investor who is close to Xiang Daofa.
Zhou Zhengliang walked up to the podium and told everyone about his analysis of Yan Tai County's economy and his projects. In the end, he announced his total investment. 80 million RMB!
Luo Haiting took a deep breath and exchanged looks with Sun Shuli. 130 million RMB?!
The atmosphere in the venue got heated. Many people felt Mayor Xie and Chief Dong are going to go big this time!
After Zhou Zhengliang signed the contract, everyone heard Dong Xuebing mentioning Park Yongxi's name. Many people are concerned about Park Yongxi's investment. Many things had happened in the past, and Party Secretary Xiang had interfered with the Investment Promotion Agency because of this investment. That's why everyone's ears perked up when they heard Park Yongxi, who was about to withdraw his investment, had also completed the contract.
Park Yongxi got on the podium and revealed his total investment amount!
120 million RMB! He did not withdraw his investment! He even increased the amount!
Everyone in the Investment Promotion Agency took in a deep breath, and Sun Shuli and the rest are the most excited. The total contract amount is 250 million RMB!
Even the TV station's staff were stunned. They did not expect Chief Dong to do so well in this investment fair.
250 million!
How much is Yan Tai County's annual investment in the past?
But before everyone can digest this news, Dong Xuebing announced again. "Next is the final project. Haha … Let's welcome Teacher Mu Zhengzhong."
There's more?
There's more?!
Not only Yan Tai County's staff are stunned, but many investors are also stunned. Teacher Mu is going to invest in real estate?! He is not dealing with antiques anymore?!
Mu Zhengzhong took the microphone from Dong Xuebing and smiled at him. He turned to everyone and said. "I am optimistic about Yan Tai County's future development. That's why I want to make a long-term investment. I will build a hotel and invest in a commercial food street." Mu Zhengzhong and Dong Xuebing had reached an agreement on this plan. The Chinese relics will be worth at least 100 million RMB. Since Dong Xuebing does not want a single cent, and Mu Zhengzhong does not expect the hotel and food street to make money from this investment. Mu Zhengzhong does not expect the hotel and food street to make money from this investment.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Hotel?
Food street?
These are all projects that cost money! If it were a better hotel with more than ten floors, it might not even cost 100 million RMB. How much is Dong Xuebing going to invest?
The venue went silent, and everyone looked at Mu Zhengzhong.
Mu Zhengzhong paused for a second. "This investment … haha … the total amount is estimated to be 200 million!"
200 million!
Everyone was shocked by this figure!
Xie Huilan and Zhao Xinglong knew about this and laughed as they walked through the contract signing ceremony.
Many people are speechless when they see the 200 million cheque. Dong Xuebing! Dong Xuebing again! From the quiet investment fair after Chief Jia was replaced to the bustling fair after Chief Dong took over as Chief Dong's new post, the difference is too big!
The total amount signed for this investment fair is 450 million RMB?! Including the Investment Promotion Agency's 50 million RMB investment after Lunar New Year, Dong Xuebing had completed the 500 million RMB target given by the Party Committee so easily?! Not only did he complete the target earlier, but he also used only three months?! Even Fen Zhou City's Investment Promotion Agencies did not manage to get 500 million RMB investments within three months!
What kind of ability is this?!
Many people finally realized that Mayor Xie had chosen Dong Xuebing as her partner because of her bad taste. She is like a flower stuck on a pile of dung. Who in Yan Tai County dares to claim Chief Xiao Dong is better than him in everything he does?
At 10.30 am, the investment fair ended.
The Investment Promotion Agency is in the limelight this time, and Dong Xuebing's name is remembered by all the staff.
Actually, Dong Xuebing did not expect the investment fair to be so successful. Who thought the target of 500 million RMB can be completed? Who would expect the investment fair to be completed in one go? This made Dong Xuebing feel a sense of achievement. 500 million RMB was a significant achievement. Should he consider getting promoted? Although he had just been promoted to Section Chief three to four months ago, he might not be promoted to Deputy Divisional Chief.
