Chapter 364 – Every deal counts! (2/2)

“Chief, are you looking for me?” Lin Pingping entered Dong Xuebing’s office.

Dong Xuebing asked. “How is the progress of your team? Do you all have any more new deals to follow up?”

Lin Pingping had prepared the documents and passed them to him. “We had been following up on four projects this year. The pork processing plant is one of the four projects, but other than this, the progress for the other projects had been slow. For example, the electric bicycle factory investor had told us he will be setting up his factory in Fen Zhou City. The other investors are the same, and none of them expressed interest in investing in our County. I had planned to sort out our current projects and will give up some of them.”

Dong Xuebing took the documents from Lin Pingping and started reading them. “Is it too early to give up on them now?”

Lin Pingping blinked. “But we might not get results if we follow up on them. We might as well use our resources on getting other investors.”

Dong Xuebing placed the documents on his desk. “You want to throw a net? I am not saying this method is wrong. But if I am an investor, I will also hesitate before I make any investment. After all, I will be investing my hard-earned money, and I need to be cautious. That’s why I think we should do our best for all investors. We must not give up on every investor, and the investor will have the impression that they are treated with respect. Even if they have no intention of investing, we must still do our best to convince them.”

Lin Pingping thought for a second and said. “Then I… I will follow up on these projects?”

Dong Xuebing smiles. “I know you disagree with me and felt this is a waste of resources, right?”

“No.” Lin Pingping quickly replied.

“I am not sure if my suggestion will work or not, but we must change the way our Agency work. Just treat this as trial and error.” Dong Xuebing continued. “If we still use the method as before, do you think we can achieve our 500 million targets? Keep this between both of us. In front of others, I looked like I am confident of achieving the target. But to be honest, I am unsure if we can really do it.”

Lin Pingping smiled. By telling her all these means, Chief Dong trusted her, and it warmed her heart.

“So…” Dong Xuebing tapped on the table. “It’s time to change our usual practice.”

Lin Pingping nodded. “Two out of the remaining three projects will not work, as the investor had signed the contract with other Counties. But we still have some hope for the last project. I will meet the investor personally and try my best to get his investment.”

Dong Xuebing nodded. “Alright. Tell me the details of this project. I will also participate in all your team’s future deals.”

Lin Pingping paused and asked. “You are going to join us in getting deals?!”

Dong Xuebing is amused. “What’s wrong? Do you doubt me?”

“No… absolutely not.” Lin Pingping replied. “I only think that these deals are only worth a few million and ten million at most. You don’t need to…”

“Why is can’t I help? I am the Agency’s Chief, and I need to set an example for the rest. What’s wrong with a deal worth a few million? Is it too little?” Dong Xuebing took a sip of tea and smiled. “I will help even if the investment is worth a few hundred thousand. 500 million is not a small amount, and every investment counts. We must not overlook those small investors.”

Lin Pingping replied with a straight face. “Yes, Sir!”

“… tell me about this project.”

“This is a processing plant for chicken excrement. It is considered an environmental project and is set to be built near the large scale chicken farms south of our County. When this project is completed, it can process 100 tons of chicken excrement daily and produce 9736 tons of animal feed. The estimated investment of this project is around 10 million.”

“This is not a small project.”

“Yes.”

“Ok. Try to contact that investor in the afternoon, and we will have dinner with him this evening.”

“Ok. I will contact him now.”

After so many days of being the Agency’s Chief, Dong Xuebing finally got used to his position. But sitting in the office the whole day is not his style. That’s why he decided to go to the frontlines to get investments. Every single investment counts!
