Chapter 475 – Contact the investors! (1/2)
9 pm.
Xiang Yi Hotel’s lobby.
The few County Leaders had left, leaving the Investment Promotion Agency’s staff there waiting anxiously. The opening ceremony is only around 10 hours away, but only six participants and Park Yongxi’s investment is canceled. Yan Tai County will be the laughing stock in front of the City Government if this carries on. The Agency has to bear responsibility!
What are they going to do?
No one knows what to do as even their person in charge had feigned illness to hide in the hospital!
When Dong Xuebing arrives at the hotel, Sun Shuli, Luo Haiting, and the rest rushed to him. They had just received information that Chief Dong will take over this investment fair again.
“Chief.”
“Chief Dong.”
“Chief Jia is hospitalized, and we….”
“Only six participants have arrived, and Mr. Park….”
Dong Xuebing looked at them and waved his hand. “Don’t panic. I know about it, and this is nothing to worry about. Alright. You all should be tired after a long day. Go back and rest.”
Jiang Hailiang, Lin Pingping, and the rest were stunned. Go back and rest?! Jia Yan had dumped everything to them. How can they sleep? But they calmed down after seeing Chief Dong’s reaction. All of them felt Chief Dong is several times more capable than Jia Yan. Jia Yan only knows how to boast. When things did not go according to plan, he immediately feigns illness and hides in the hospital. Look at Chief Dong. His first reaction is, “this is nothing to worry about,” and he asked them to go home and rest. This is the difference between them.
Luo Haiting hesitated. “Chief, we…”
“Go home now.” Dong Xuebing stopped her. “Have a good rest. We will be busy tomorrow.”
Everyone doesn’t know how to react. Since Chief Dong asked them to go home, they will obey. Anyway, they are not the person in charge and will not be held responsible for this investment fair failure.
Dong Xuebing asked his subordinates to leave because they also can’t help with anything by staying here. After they left, Dong Xuebing called Park Yongxi. Park Yongxi is still awake, and they met in a café. Xie Huilan will bring in the investors, and he doesn’t need to worry about it. All he needs to do is to get more investments to slap Xiang Daofa and Jia Yan again. This will tell everyone that replacing him is a big mistake and help Xie Huilan get some credits. That’s why he must get more investments in this fair.
Park Yongxi is Dong Xuebing’s first target.
Park Yongxi should not be changing his mind at the last minute.
A café.
When Dong Xuebing arrived at the café, Park Yongxi is already there, waiting for him. They did not go into a private room, as there are no other customers at this time.
“Master Park.” Dong Xuebing smiles. “Sorry to ask you out so late.”
Park Yongxi laughed. “It’s fine. I heard you had become the person in charge of the investment fair again.”
“Yes, I got reappointed at the last minute. It’s so stressful.” Dong Xuebing sat down and ordered a coffee. “Master Park, I thought we had finalized this investment? We are unable to offer the five years tax exemption you wanted. Even Mayor Xie cannot allow this, as this is against the regulations.”
Park Yongxi laughed. “I know.”
Dong Xuebing is stunned. “You know?!” If you know about this, why did you demand it? What are you trying to do?
Park Yongxi did not continue immediately. He took a sip of coffee and continued. “We did agree on the terms of the contract, but that is between you and me. I have no obligations towards others.”
Dong Xuebing paused for a second. “Then, the project….”
“Since you are reappointed to be the person in charge of the investment fair, then it will not be a problem. The five years exemption is only a casual remark. Haha… We will go along with what was discussed before. I have check out the investment site, and we don’t need to discuss the details again. Just tell me when you want to sign the contract, and we will sign it.”
Dong Xuebing understood why Park Yongxi had done this. He shows his support for him and the five-year tax exemption to make things difficult for Jia Yan. This is to force the County to reappoint Dong Xuebing to be the person in charge again. He is touched. Although Park Yongxi and he had gotten along well and had sparred before, their relationship is not that close for him to help Dong Xuebing. Also, Dong Xuebing had challenged and embarrassed Seoul’s Taekwondo Schools. Park Yongxi has no obligations to help him. This means he treats Dong Xuebing as his friend!
Damn!
Old Park is a good friend!
Dong Xuebing suddenly banged the table, shocking the waitress and Park Yongxi. “Master Park, I will not say much. Just give me a call if you need any help in the future!”
