Chapter 454 – Organizing an investment fair! (1/2)
It’s a gloomy day and drizzling.
After spending two days with Aunt Xuan in Beijing, Dong Xuebing drove his Cayenne back to Yan Tai County.
Dong Xuebing purposely drove on the roads with poor conditions and large puddles on the mountain roads. His new SUV did not disappoint him, and it was not bumpy compared to his Mercedes MPV. It can climb up slopes and go through potholes with ease. It is worth its price.
The rain stopped when Dong Xuebing was about to reach the County’s City.
Dong Xuebing was thinking about his work while driving. He had been too high profile and should stay low for a while. But he should not stop getting investment. The Agency has only gotten around 50 million RMB worth of investments, and even he includes Park Yongxi’s 100 million RMB, he is still far from the 500 million RMB target. He has settled the scores and needs to start thinking of how to achieve the target.
This is his top priority.
But where can he find the remaining 350 million RMB investments?
It is almost May, and almost half the year is gone. There’s no more time.
Twenty minutes later, the Cayenne turned into the Investment Promotion Agency. It is noon, and many staff members are walking towards the cafeteria for lunch. They are not surprised to see a Porsche Cayenne parked there. It might belong to one of the investors. But some of them noticed the registration plate. Eh? Beijing 9999? Isn’t that Chief Dong’s registration plate?
Dong Xuebing alighted from his car with his bag.
Many staff was stunned.
Luo Haiting and Lin Pingping, who had just walked out of the building, saw Dong Xuebing and quickly walked over. “Chief, you… changed your car?”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “The MPV is not as good as an SUV for some roads.”
Luo Haiting knows Dong Xuebing is friendly after knowing him for some time. “Is this Porsche Cayenne? It’s beautiful. I had seen this car at the City’s car show. But it was last year’s model.” Normal Cayenne costs around 1 million RMB, and it is about the same price as a Mercedes MPV. But the Cayenne in front of them is the top-tier version and costs at least 2.5 million.
Dong Xuebing is changing cars annually and felt Mercedes is not good enough.
Luo Haiting and Lin Pingping are speechless. Chief Dong is wealthy.
But Dong Xuebing is not in the mood to discuss cars. He smiles. “Director Luo, Xiao Lin, come over to my office after your lunch.”
Seeing Chief Dong is not going to have lunch, Luo Haiting said. “Then I will go now…”
“Have your lunch first.” Dong Xuebing waved his hand. “Food is more important, and it’s a sin to stop you all from eating. Haha… we can discuss after lunch.”
“Ok.”
Dong Xuebing is not hungry and returned to his office.
Agency’s Chief Office.
Dong Xuebing saw Guo Panwei preparing tea the moment he stepped into his office. He must have seen him returning from upstairs.
“Panwei.” Dong Xuebing smiles. “Go and have your lunch first.”
“It’s alright. I am not hungry.” Guo Panwei poured tea for Dong Xuebing and took out the work documents for Dong Xuebing. These are Dong Xuebing’s work when he is not around.
“Alright. Go and have lunch even if you are not hungry. I still need your help after you are done. Go now.”
“Ok… just call me if you need me.”
Dong Xuebing is in a good mood. “You need to eat more. You had lost some weight. Is it because of the sudden change in the environment? Health should come first, and you should go for a checkup at the hospital.”
Guo Panwei is touched. He had lost a lot of weight because he is not used to the environment and also because of work stress. He did not expect Dong Xuebing to notice this, and this means Chief Dong values him.
After Guo Panwei left, Dong Xuebing lit a cigarette.
Knock… knock…
“Come in.” Luo Haiting entered the office. She is wearing a blue dress and make-up.
Dong Xuebing looks at her. “Sister Luo, didn’t I ask you to go for lunch?”
