Chapter 1433: The Final Trump Card

Morning.

Office area.

Chang Juan, pointed out by Dong Xuebing, came out of the office. After returning to her seat, she uninstalled the game and started working. Dong Xuebing came out later, took a look, and couldn't help but smile when he saw Sister Chang correcting her ways. Although he knew that Chang Juan's busyness was somewhat aimless and she couldn't help much, at least she showed a work attitude. With everyone busy working and no chance for gossip, Dong Xuebing naturally had nothing to say.

"Old Zheng."

"Mayor Dong."

"How's the progress?"

"Haven't counted yet, I'll check."

"Good, let's all report on the progress of our work."

Dong Xuebing and Zheng Dayou spoke, and everyone stopped their work, gathering in front of the two leaders with helpless looks on their faces.

Zheng Dayou looked at Cheng Yujie, "Old Cheng, how's your side?"

Cheng Yujie said, "The project documents have been organized, and several templates have been printed."

Gong Na handed over the sample promotional materials for Dong Xuebing and Zheng Dayou to see.

Dong Xuebing took a look and felt it was okay. After discussing with Zheng Dayou, the two nodded, "Good job."

Cheng Yujie took credit, "Yesterday, Xiao Gong and I worked until after eight in the evening." Perhaps feeling too obvious, Cheng Yujie added, "But it's all expected. Director Chen and Xiao Xiao from the other side also stayed late."

Dong Xuebing looked at Chen Yunsong, "Xiao Chen, how about your side?"

Chen Yunsong looked troubled, "Sorry, Mayor Dong, there hasn't been much progress."

Zheng Dayou looked at him. "Last year, there were still a few investors who could come, right?"

Chen Yunsong sighed, "I've contacted everyone I could. They are all busy, and things have piled up, so"

Dong Xuebing asked, "The investment promotion conference is just two days away. Do you have confidence in attracting how many people?"

Chen Yunsong hesitated momentarily, "We will do our best, but from the looks of it now, it's possible that no one We've already made the calls, and the number of investors we know is limited. There's little hope for further contacts in the next two days."

Zheng Dayou was a bit angry, "What are you doing? Didn't we say securing support from Mr. Zhao and Mr. Sun is crucial? Even if they don't invest, at least they should attend."

Chen Yunsong had no words to reply.

Xiao Hong also remained silent.

They did their best, but things didn't go as smoothly as they had hoped.

Dong Xuebing sighed and said, "It's not your fault. I've also worked in investment promotion before and might know more investors than you do. But I couldn't bring in a single person even with dozens of calls I made yesterday. They shake their heads as soon as they hear it's a nationally impoverished county."

Zheng Dayou said, "But it's a 50 million RMB task."

"I'll figure something out. Everyone, keep moving. Don't give up. Even if only one person comes, we must do what needs to be done." Dong Xuebing's words were no longer as confident as a few days ago. Previously, he thought bringing in some people wouldn't be a problem, but now he realized what it meant to be a nationally impoverished county. He temporarily put away his blind confidence.

50 million RMB.

It seems it's not that simple.

Ring, ring, ring, the phone rang.

Dong Xuebing saw that it was a call from Secretary Meng's office. He immediately waved his hand to signal everyone to continue working and entered his office, closing the door.

"Hello, Secretary Meng."

"Mayor Dong, how is the progress of the investment promotion work?"

"Well, it's okay. Everything is proceeding according to plan."

"That's good. During the meeting, I've emphasized the importance of this investment promotion for our county."

"I know, Secretary Meng. You can rest assured; we will win this battle."contemporary romance

"Good, that's what I wanted to hear. Mayor Jiang and I look forward to the performance of your investment promotion work. Busy now, goodbye."

"Goodbye, Secretary Meng."

"Okay, goodbye."

The county is probably aware that their work is not going smoothly, and this is a reminder.

Dong Xuebing naturally couldn't let his morale drop, and without going into details, after hanging up the phone, he sat on the chair, thinking and feeling the increasing pressure.

Fifty million RMB.

Fifty million RMB.

The usual methods seem to be ineffective.

With no one coming, it's uncertain how much investment they can attract.

Dong Xuebing squinted his eyes, deciding in his heart. He had initially thought he could secure this investment promotion conference through his connections. However, now it seemed he had been too optimistic, underestimating the investment environment in Zhen Shui County. Nevertheless, Dong Xuebing remained calm; even if his old friends were unwilling to come and his past relationships couldnt help, he still had one last ace up his sleeve.

Picking up his phone, Dong Xuebing reluctantly made an international call.

Ring, ring, ring.

Ring, ring, ring.

The call went through.

"Hey, whose call is this?" A mature and charming female voice came from the other end. "Why did our little handsome guy think of calling his sister?"

Dong Xuebing smiled awkwardly, "Don't tease me. My mood isn't good right now. Where are you?"

The woman on the other end was Zhang Longjuan, "Hehe, I'm in Florida, at the company office. What's bothering you? Tell your sister."

Dong Xuebing sighed, "There's an investment promotion conference this weekend, and I am in charge. I made several calls to my old friends, but no one showed up. I'm really at a loss here. That's why I thought of calling you. Sister Zhang, please don't just humor me. You must come to our city this weekend; otherwise, I'll lose face."

"Hehe, this weekend?"

"Yes, this weekend. Saturday and Sunday both work. At the latest, next week is also fine. The investment promotion conference will last for quite a while. You check your schedule."

"How much money are we talking about?"

"Fifty million is enough."

"Alright, then. Sister will come over and help your boy hold up the facade. Haha, it's related to your promotion, right? Consider it your political achievement."

"Yeah, it's related."

"Sister knows it. Don't worry."

"Then, thank you in advance."

"Our company also has a twenty percent stake for you. Naturally, you're also a shareholder with the right to make decisions. Lately, several incidents have been suppressing the investment of the Republic and Chinese investors internationally, making people uneasy. I also want to gradually shift investments back to the country."

"But to be honest, our county's investment environment is unfavorable. If you invest this money, I'm afraid you won't see returns for several years."

"Haha, returns? Are you kidding me? It's just fifty million RMB. Our company's assets are nearly tens of billions of RMB. Even if I lose it all, I won't bat an eye."
