Chapter 1479: Opening Ceremony of Investment Promotion and Signing Conference
Morning.
Around nine in the morning.
County Party School.
The Land Rover, still carrying the lingering scent from Mayor Jiang's body, entered the courtyard, maneuvering around tables, chairs, and sunshades, finally parking under the office building.
Xiao Hong said, "Mayor Dong."
Cheng Yujie said, "You're here."
Zheng Dayou said, "Yesterday, I heard from Mayor Jiang."
Gong Na said, "How's your health? Are you okay now?"
Dong Xuebing arrived relatively late, and by the time he arrived, Zheng Dayou, Cheng Yujie, Gong Na, and others had already arrived. As soon as he stepped out of the car, Dong Xuebing was welcomed by the Investment Promotion Bureau comrades. They bombarded him with inquiries, and Dong Xuebing could feel the warmth and concern in their tones. He smiled and greeted everyone, "Thank you for your concern. I'm fine now. Maybe I didn't eat for a day yesterday, and my blood sugar was a bit low. After eating and sleeping well last night, today is no problem."
Zheng Dayou said, "If it doesn't work, return and rest. We'll take care of things here."
Dong Xuebing waved, "For such a big signing ceremony, how can I stay at home? Let's not talk about it. I'm fine. How is everything here?"
Cheng Yujie immediately said, "The venue is all set."
Zheng Dayou said, "I also contacted the investors one by one last night, conveying our preferential policies. As for whether it will work or not, we don't know."
Gong Na also reported on the situation.
Dong Xuebing said, "Good. I wasn't here yesterday, and everyone worked hard. Today is the signing ceremony, the most important day for our investment promotion. Let's all be spirited and make sure it goes smoothly."
"Yes."
"Understood."
Dong Xuebing said, "What about Director Chang and the others?"
Gong Na said, "Director Chang just called. Today is the last day for the Municipal Investment Promotion Association. Although investment promotion work will continue, the booths have been prepared for removal, and there are no new investors coming to our city. What's left is a series of work to accompany investors on inspections."
Dong Xuebing pondered, "Let Director Chang and the others come back."
Gong Na hesitated, "But today hasn't passed yet, now…"
Dong Xuebing nodded, "The booths have been removed, so let them come back. It's not meaningful to stay in the city for another day. Let everyone come back and focus on the work here."
Gong Na agreed, "Okay, I'll tell Director Chang."
Nine-thirty.
After circling the Party School and confirming that the venue was ready, Dong Xuebing arrived at the school gate to await the arrival of investors. At this point, although he knew this was a signing ceremony that allowed no failure, Dong Xuebing was no longer nervous. It seemed like Jiang Fangfang's maternal aura had absorbed all his tension. In his heart, there was only determination. Regardless of whether it was for Zhen Shui County or his political achievements, for Jiang Fangfang, Dong Xuebing had to do it magnificently, leaving people speechless.
Not long after, a large bus arrived.
A tourist bus carrying fifty or sixty investors entered the courtyard of the Party School.
Dong Xuebing immediately signaled to Zheng Dayou and others behind him, then led everyone to greet them with a warm smile.
"Mr. An, welcome, welcome."
"Mayor Dong, why haven't you rested?"
"Today is the signing ceremony. How can I rest?"
"I called Director Zheng yesterday and heard that you collapsed from exhaustion. It made me worry for a while. These days, you've been with us all the time, day and night. Everyone is quite concerned about your health. Just now, we were discussing that you should take a day off today."
"Hey, it's just lack of sleep, nothing serious. Thanks for your concern, Mr. An and everyone. Please come inside; we have reserved seats for everyone."
"Hehe, I'm not necessarily investing, Mayor Dong."
"It's okay. Everyone who comes to inspect Zhen Shui County is our friend, regardless of whether the investment is successful. You will always be our friend."
"Now that you put it that way, I can't leave without investing several million."
"Haha, Mr. An, you haven't invested yet. Still, the project you're interested in is indeed excellent. Ms. Zhang Longjuan has high expectations for that project. I told you about it, right?"
"You did, so I wasn't planning to invest at first. Now I'm considering it. I had the privilege of consulting Ms. Zhang for experience a few days ago. Ms. Zhang's insights and experience are beyond what we small business people can compare. I gained a lot, really gained a lot."
"Well, Mr. An, please."
"Okay, I'll think about it after I go in. Haha."
Dong Xuebing had put a lot of effort into the people who stayed. He had memorized each person's names, company names, main businesses, hobbies, and personalities. This was also the reason why he worked so hard. He spent time organizing this information almost every night before going to bed. If you wanted to attract investment and achieve results, you had to make corresponding efforts. Without hard work, results wouldn't just fall from the sky. These days, he had almost had deep interactions with all the investors.
"Mayor Dong."
"Mr. Li, please, please."
"Can you offer more discounts?"
"I've already given you the maximum discount approved by the county. Mr. Li, you should know this. I can't offer more discounts. However, suppose your company decides on investment intentions today. In that case, I can guarantee that if your company encounters any problems with site selection and villagers' relocation in the future, I will personally step in to help you and ensure that you can start construction as soon as possible."
"Mayor Dong, did you say that?"
"I said it."
"Okay, just for what you said, we'll take this project according to the terms we discussed."
"That's great! Mr. Li, please come inside. The signing ceremony starts at ten o'clock, and the contracts are all prepared. We will officially sign them then."
"No problem."
Mr. Li's project involved relocation issues, which was a troublesome matter. But with Dong Xuebing's guarantee, Mr. Li was completely at ease. Mr. Li was a businessman from Meihe City, with his company's roots and headquarters in Meihe City. He was well aware of the situation and had heard about Dong Xuebing's achievements. Knowing that Dong Xuebing was a tough character with formidable combat power and personality who dared to criticize even the city leaders, he could fight and even beat twenty villagers without moving a step when he had multiple fractures all over his body. This had almost become legendary. Not only people in government offices knew about it, but even some well-informed businessmen in Meihe City were aware. So, since Dong Xuebing had spoken the guarantee, Mr. Li's only concern was eliminated. He trusted Dong Xuebing's capabilities.
