Chapter 1483: Two Hundred Million

Afternoon.

The signing ceremony resumed in the afternoon.

The bus brought back the investors who had left. Still, the few businessmen who had dined alone did not reappear, indicating they were probably dissatisfied with the projects and left early.

" Mayor Dong."

"Secretary Meng."

"How's it going?"

"Not bad, just signed another deal."

"Oh, how much is the investment for this project?"

"Eight million from Mr. Xu's company."

"Good, good. You focus on your work. I'll contact Mayor Jiang about the ones already signed."

"Sure, I observed the situation with domestic investors. It might be saturated this afternoon."

"No problem. With this signed investment, the current project funding has already met the county's expectations. You did well. Mayor Jiang and I will personally host a celebration banquet for you all tonight."

"Hehe, I'll go to the signing area."

"Go ahead. Try to bring in more deals."

"I'll do my best. It depends on the progress with the foreign investors."

After exchanging some words with Meng Rui, Dong Xuebing went back. He organized contracts while waiting.

During this time, many investors inquired, but no deals were finalized due to certain preferential policies and terms not being agreed upon.

Half an hour passed.

An hour passed.

No one came for half a day.

Dong Xuebing checked the time and felt that it was probably over. So, he looked towards the area where the foreign investors were, wanting to find Chang Juan in the crowd to arrange for a final signing. However, he didn't see Chang Juan; instead, they got a visit from Matt, the fat man from the inspection team.

"Dong."

"Hey, Old Matt."

Matt had a translator with him, and he said a few words to the translator, who then took out a contract.

The translator told Dong Xuebing, "This is the contract Matt drafted. Take a look."

It was an all-English contract, and Dong Xuebing couldn't understand it. He immediately called over a nearby translator to help him go through it sentence by sentence.

After about ten minutes, Dong Xuebing finished reading it, feeling unsure. He apologized, said, "Wait a moment," and went to find Jiang Fangfang at the information desk. After whispering a few words to her and her saying a few words in return, Dong Xuebing called a legal consultant and spent about seven or eight minutes discussing it. Jiang Fangfang nodded. Dong Xuebing said, "Okay," and immediately returned to his seat, instructing his subordinates to prepare an English version of the contract.

The contract was signed.

Matts project is worth 30 million.

This meant the total investment had soared again, reaching tens of millions and approaching a billion.

This successful deal brought a small climax to the venue, boosting the morale of county leaders and comrades from the Investment Promotion Bureau.

It was already afternoon, and many investors had left one after another. The signing ceremony also quieted down, with everyone taking a break.

Wait.

Continue waiting.

After about another half an hour, Dong Xuebing blinked and assessed the situation. This time, no one was left; even the information desk area was deserted.

At this moment, Jiang Mayor's secretary, Li Xiaona, approached, "Mayor Dong, Mayor Jiang asked me to inquire if the signing ceremony is ending early."

Dong Xuebing shook his head, "Wait a bit more."

Li Xiaona said, "But most people have already left."

Dong Xuebing firmly stated, "There are still some."

Li Xiaona blinked, "I see. I'll tell Mayor Jiang."

Li Xiaona conveyed Dong Xuebing's message. Meng Rui and Jiang Fangfang heard it, but they didn't say anything, just nodding. The investment promotion work had long been handed over to Dong Xuebing by the county. Now that Dong Xuebing had shown his achievements, the county leaders didn't interfere much. Whatever Dong Xuebing decided, they would try to accommodate and consider as much as possible.

Zhang Longjuan, who had disappeared for a while, finally returned.

Dong Xuebing couldn't help but glance at her and signaled with his eyes.

Zhang Longjuan smiled and didn't return to her seat. Instead, she walked toward the signing area in front of everyone, sitting in front of Dong Xuebing.

As the representative of investors, it was her turn to speak. Generally, these investor representatives would express some intention to invest. Zhang Longjuan, praising Zhen Shui County to the skies in her speech, had everyone eagerly anticipating how much she would invest.

But the first sentence from Zhang Longjuan stunned Dong Xuebing.

Zhang Longjuan said, "The contract we discussed earlier may need some changes."

Dong Xuebing was taken aback, "Uh, yes. Where does it need to be changed?"

Zhang Longjuan smiled, "Let's discuss it privately. Let's have others step aside."

"Sure." Dong Xuebing had the legal consultants and Zheng Dayou leave.

Once they left, Zhang Longjuan smiled and said, "That electronic contract is still there, right? Change the project amount. Instead of investing 50 million, make it 100 million."

"What?" Dong Xuebing was surprised. "Why 100 million?"

Zhang Longjuan said, "You've already received approximately one hundred million in investments. Let me contribute another hundred million to make it a nice round figure." contemporary romance

"Oh, no need."

"It's settled."

"What if we incur losses? That's a lot of money."

"Calling a hundred million money? I had won over a billion from the casino. Hurry up and draft the contract. After signing, even if we lose this time, it's not a big deal. It's just a small amount of money and no loss guarantee. Don't underestimate my business skills."

"Well, but"

"Are you signing or not? Stop with the nonsense."

"Fine, fine, thank you."

"You little one, stop it. Haha, hurry up."

The contract was quickly produced. Zhang Longjuan smiled and signed it, with a generous and somewhat wild signature.

Dong Xuebing controlled his excitement and signed on to it. He hadn't expected Zhang Longjuan to invest so much money for his political achievements.

After signing the contract, they shook hands. Dong Xuebing took the contract and walked out, saying, "Ms. Zhang just added an investment, preparing to inject one million funds into the project. The first batch of funds will arrive next week at the latest. Thank you, Ms. Zhang, for your trust in us."

Clap, clap, clap.

Dong Xuebing led the applause.

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in astonishment.

What? Ms. Zhang single-handedly invested one hundred million.

More than the total investment of all other investors combined?

Calculating the total project amount for this investment promotion business association, it unexpectedly reached nearly two hundred million!

Many were left dumbfounded by this unexpected windfall.
