Li Yuanlang frowned, "What conditions? Mr. James please explain clearly."

James pondered: "When we businessmen do business, we need to keep abreast of current affairs and deal with government officials. The main purpose is to discuss this aspect."

"Mr. Li, I think we want to invest in your country, especially in your land. It can be said that 3 billion is not a small amount, accounting for nearly one-third of our annual investment budget."

"For such a huge plan, we have a lot of gambling mentality. We can only succeed but not fail."

"In fact, taking into account various factors, Deping is not our ideal first choice. The reason why Deping is included is largely because we are optimistic about you and your family's influence on your country."

"I can tell you very frankly that as long as you can help us with current affairs, we will invest in Deping City without hesitation."

Although what James said was very cryptic, Li Yuanlang also understood that there was something in his words.

"Mr. James, first of all, let me ask you to recognize a fact. We are not your country. We welcome people of insight from all over the world to invest and start businesses, but the prerequisite is that they must abide by the law and understand the rules."

"We have an old saying, there is no rule without rules. I'm sorry, but I can't agree to the conditions you mentioned. Doing business is about efficiency, but I hope that your company will pursue profits openly and don't think about taking shortcuts, and there are no shortcuts here.

You can go."

In response to Li Yuanlang's righteous words, James did not feel discouraged. Instead, he smiled meaningfully and said, "Mr. Li, don't mind. I just made a small suggestion. As for whether you accept it or not, that's your business.

"

"However, our company has our own ideas, which, as you just said, are rules. Maybe we businessmen and your government officials have different starting points and have different priorities, but we have a consensus that we are all concerned about the current situation."

"You don't know something. Today we temporarily changed the negotiation location. We did not deliberately make things difficult for you. We had no choice but to do so."

"The negotiation location we originally booked was temporarily informed that it is not allowed to be used. And in your core area, many troops are stationed to guard it."

"And the place where we are negotiating is within the scope of temporary control. All of this gives us a premonition that something major will happen."

"At such a critical juncture, we can still negotiate cooperation matters with you, which shows that we are sincere and hope to invest in your country to achieve win-win cooperation."

As soon as these words came out, Li Yuanlang was slightly startled.

According to James, the capital seems calm on the surface, but in fact there is an undercurrent.

Could it be that the death of Zhang Zhibao made the situation suddenly tense?

His heart was turbulent, but his face was calm and calm.

Frankly said: "It's best if you have such an idea. No matter what else, we in Deping City sincerely hope that your company can settle in Deping, and we will give you the best discounts and the most precise service assistance."

James nodded, "I admit this, it is also a promise made to us by other places."

When the time was almost up, Li Yuanlang stood up and walked to the negotiating table with James again.

During this period, the two sides held another discussion.

Mainly focusing on Shengling Group and Benge Mobile, they asked the Deping City Negotiation Team about the concerns.

Li Yuanlang is firmly in his seat as mayor.

In this link, other members of the negotiation team are responsible for answering, with Li Yuanlang occasionally interjecting explanations.

In short, the content after the break has entered the substantive stage.

In a flash, it was noon.

In order not to delay, people from both parties ate in the hotel's cafeteria.

Taking this opportunity, Li Yuanlang turned on his phone.

Out of courtesy, Li Yuanlang and everyone else's mobile phones were turned off during the negotiation so that they could concentrate on the negotiation.

As soon as the phone was turned on, Bai Qing's call came in.

Walking to a quiet place, Li Yuanlang answered the call.

"Husband." Bai Qing's voice was urgent, "The security level here at home has been increased, and the entrance and exit are strictly controlled. If you come back, I will send a car to pick you up."

Needless to say, Li Yuanlang had already guessed that there was indeed something big going on in the capital.

As a veteran comrade, it is normal for the father-in-law to receive due protection.

I can't help but think of a similar situation a few years ago.

& It’s just that as ordinary people, we can’t feel this at all.

After thinking for a while, Li Yuanlang said: "It's better not to cause any trouble. I'll stay in the hotel at night."

"It's not a troublesome thing." Bai Qing said: "Learning from the past, my father and I want you to go home on time. Today is different from the past. You have become the focus of some people with ulterior motives."

"Listen to me, only home is the safest place."

Li Yuanlang deeply understood the meaning of his wife's words.

Along the way, he went through many dangers, and although he was finally saved, he was still scarred.

In order not to worry his family, Li Yuanlang nodded in agreement.

In extraordinary times, we cannot take it lightly.

At noon, Director Li arranged a room for the negotiation team in his hotel for a short rest.

Li Yuanlang was in the room and called Geng Huanqing and Director Li to make serious arrangements.

"After today's negotiation ends, members of our negotiating team must return to the hotel in time. It is best not to go out."

Geng Huanqing was stunned, but Director Li got a clue.

He put his hands on his pants and touched them again and again, hesitating whether he should ask something or not.

"Director Li, if you have something to say, you might as well say it."

Seeing Li Yuanlang speak, Director Li asked cautiously: "I heard that the security level has been strengthened there."

Where he pointed, Geng Huanqing heard something different.

"Mayor Li, could something big happen?"

Everyone knows that Li Yuanlang has a special status and the information sources he has are very accurate.

Li Yuanlang nodded, "For safety's sake, everyone must abide by the discipline and stay in the hotel and do not go out."

"We understand."

The two stood up to say goodbye, and Fang Yan happened to come in.

Li Yuanlang told Fang Yan, "Please pay more attention here. There is something important. If my mobile phone cannot be reached, you can call this number."

He named a landline number. He was worried that if the mobile phone signal was blocked, the landline number would always be able to get through.

But it was very troublesome, and he needed to go through many layers of checks before he could receive it.

This is exactly what Li Yuanlang meant when he repeatedly reminded him not to contact him unless absolutely necessary.

After a short break, people from both sides began the next phase of negotiations.

During the break, James invited Li Yuanlang into the small room again.

This time James went straight to the point and said: "Mr. Li, I just had a phone call with the head office. After discussion and decision by the board of directors, we have an alternative plan and would like to hear your opinion."

Li Yuanlang waved his hand and said: "Mr. James, you are flattering me with your words. If I have any opinions that may influence your decision, it's okay to listen to them."

James was not embarrassed and said patiently: "Our alternative is to establish two production bases in your provincial capitals, Haixin and Deping. Of course, the investment amount will definitely be adjusted. The one in Haixin City is 1.8 billion.

Duc Binh is 1.2 billion. In this case, our overall investment in An Giang Province is still 3 billion."

"The two production bases are our initial investment to open up the market. If the market achieves the expected results, we will definitely make additional investment."

Li Yuanlang narrowed his eyes and asked meaningfully: "If I guess correctly, are you planning to use this alternative plan from the beginning?"

James rubbed his hands and explained: "Mr. Li is very responsive and nothing can escape your eyes. Indeed, we originally wanted to invest 3 billion in a city, which is convenient in all aspects."

"We have a proverb that you can't put your eggs in the same basket. The board of directors proposed this plan when they were studying it. In fact, some people are in favor of splitting the 3 billion into three parts, in Haixin, Deping and Diandong.

Three cities will invest 1 billion each to build three production bases."

“It was just too complicated and required too much energy, so I gave up in the end.”

"Mr. Li, 1.2 billion, converted into your money, is 7 to 8 billion. This is also a large investment for Deping."

Li Yuanlang had a different interpretation of James' sudden emergence and coming up with such a plan.

On the surface, he is as calm as water, but on the inside, he is thinking about what the other party's true intentions are.
