Chapter 364 – Every deal counts! (1/2)
Investment Promotion Agency.
Ring… ring… ring… Dong Xuebing’s office phone rang.
It’s Mayor Zhao Xinglong who called. “Chief Dong, how are you feeling?”
“Thank you, Mayor Zhao, for your concern. I am fine.” Dong Xuebing knew Zhao Xinglong was referring to the 1.5 liters of Maotai yesterday.
“You ah… Don’t do this again in the future. 1.5 liters of hard liquor is no joke. I almost got a heart attack when I saw you finish those three bottles. Haha…” Zhao Xinglong is in a good mood today. “But it is your credit for getting this deal. I had reported this matter to Mayor Xie, and she is very pleased with your performance. We have high hopes for the Investment Promotion Agency. This investment is crucial, and I heard the everyone in the Agency is motivated.”
“Thank you for the recognition. I will not let the leaders down.”
“Alright. It is all up to you now. Do your best.” Zhao Xinglong gave Dong Xuebing some words of encouragement.
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing asked Guo Panwei to call for a meeting with all the department heads in the Agency.
A few minutes later, Sun Shuli, Lui Dafa, Luo Haiting, Lin Pingping, and Jiang Hailiang arrived in Dong Xuebing’s office.
Dong Xuebing looks at them. “I think all of you have heard about what happened yesterday. We had signed the contract for the investment in our County’s pork processing plant investment. The estimated investment is about 20 million, and the County Government is very concerned about this project. This plant will be our County’s core industry, and Mayor Zhao had called earlier to inform us that the County Government and Mayor Xie has high hopes for us.”
Luo Haiting immediately clapped.
Clap… clap… clap… Lin Pingping and the rest started clapping.
Dong Xuebing laughed and said. “I would like to praise Lin Pingping and her team for their work in getting this investment. We can get this deal is all because of their efforts.”
Lin Pingping smiled embarrassedly.
News of what happened yesterday had spread. Jiang Hailing knew it was Dong Xuebing who had gotten this deal. If Dong Xuebing had not to drink those three bottles of Maotai, this investment would not be happening in Yan Tai County. Jiang Hailiang took a glance at Lin Pingping. He feels sore and jealous, as Lin Pingping will be getting a commission and bonus of 150,000 RMB.
Sun Shuli remained emotionless, and no one can tell what he is thinking.
The meeting ended, and everyone left Dong Xuebing’s office.
Jiang Hailiang looks at Lin Pingping. “Haha… Section Chief Lin. Congratulations.”
Lin Pingping smiles. “I heard your team is negotiating a huge deal now, right? I should be the one congratulating you.”
“It’s still not confirmed yet.” Jiang Hailiang waved and walked faster to catch up with Sun Shuli.
Luo Haiting noticed Sun Shuli did not return to his office. Instead, he went downstairs with Jiang Hailiang. On their way downstairs, he started making calls to the investors. Luo Haiting knew Sun Shuli is still unwilling to submit to Dong Xuebing and wants to prove himself by getting more deals. Chief Dong is supporting Business Section One, and Sun Shuli is supporting Business Section Two. These two men will be using these two departments to compete against each other. As an outsider, Luo Haiting can see more clearly, and she felt this is what Chief Xiao Dong wants. The fiercer the competition between both Business Section teams, the higher the possibility of completing their target of 500 million.
Noon.
After eating lunch at the cafeteria, Dong Xuebing visited the different departments. He is pleased with what he saw. The Investment Promotion Agency is different from one week ago. All the staff members are working hard. The staff from the Business Sections and even the receptionist are highly motivated and excited.
The Agency no longer has any problems after Dong Xuebing made a series of changes. Dong Xuebing’s focus will shift from internal affairs to external affairs, attracting investors. As the Agency’s head, his result depends on the Agency’s result. What Dong Xuebing needs to do is to achieve the target as soon as possible for the County.
With this target in mind, Dong Xuebing cannot stop with the 20 million RMB investment. This is only the first step, and they are far from achieving the target.
Dong Xuebing called Lin Pingping to his office in the afternoon.
