James lost no time in encouraging him again: "Mr. Li, this is the best plan I have obtained for you."

"Of course, there is a gap between this and your expectations, and I can understand it. But you have to think clearly, the current conditions in Deping are not advantageous among the cities we are negotiating with."

"We can build a branch factory in your place. In addition to tax revenue, we can create 10,000 jobs in the early stage. In the future, we will gradually expand the scale of production and recruit many employees."

After a while, Li Yuanlang replied: "Mr. James, this matter is very important. Let me go back and discuss it with the city. I will let you know the result tomorrow."

"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news."

Since James proposed a new plan midway, there is no need to conduct the following negotiations.

The group of people took the bus back to the hotel.

On the way, Li Yuanlang observed the streets of Beijing through the car window.

Cars come and go, and crowds of people are everywhere, and you can't see anything different.

After returning to the hotel room, Li Yuanlang immediately communicated with Chen Yushu on the phone.

After listening to Li Yuanlang's statement, Chen Yushu was surprised, "Benge Company changed its plan temporarily? From 3 billion to 1.2 billion? Mayor Li, do you know why?"

"I don't know. James told me that the decision was made by the head office. But I think it may be related to the temporary situation in Beijing."

Since he couldn't hide it anyway, Li Yuanlang simply poured the beans into a bamboo tube and told the matter.

"Really?" Chen Yushu sounded very surprised, "I need to report this matter to Secretary An of the Provincial Party Committee."

There was nothing wrong with what she said. After all, Secretary An introduced this project to Deping City.

"Secretary Chen, please give me the news as soon as possible. James and the others are waiting for our reply."

"Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Li Yuanlang immediately convened a meeting with all members of the negotiation team to discuss the company's temporary decision.

At the meeting, everyone was very surprised by this change.

Geng Huanqing analyzed: "After dealing with Benge Company today, I deeply feel that their way of thinking is very different from ours."

"They are not only focused on business issues, but they are also interested in our policy direction."

Director Li took up the topic and said: "Ordinary foreigners don't care much about politics, but businessmen are particularly interested in this aspect."

"After all, in their country, capital is controlled by chaebols, which is different from ours."

“I think it’s good, no matter if it’s 3 billion or 1.2 billion, as long as it can bring considerable benefits to Deping.”

Section Chief Zhang interjected: "It's good, but I don't know what kind of medicine they are selling in the gourd. Is it a good medicine to strengthen the body, or a poison with ulterior motives? We need to carefully consider it."

Li Yuanlang finally concluded: "Every comrade has expressed his or her own opinions, and what they say is reasonable. I have already reported this matter to Secretary Chen. We should wait for the municipal committee to study and make a decision before we have an in-depth discussion."

"Today's situation is special, so comrades, please forgive me and stay in the hotel for the time being."

Then he turned his face and said to Director Li: "Also let your comrades in the Beijing Office implement my requirements."

Director Li nodded in agreement with a very solemn expression.

As usual, Li Yuanlang did not accompany everyone to dinner.

According to the agreed time and method, Li Yuanlang walked out of the hotel not far away, turned to the street and saw the Hongqi car parked on the roadside.

After confirming the license plate, he opened the rear door and sat in with one leg.

The car quickly started and drove away.

Li Yuanlang looked out the car window.

As night falls, the street lights turn on and neon lights flash.

Li Yuanlang looked at it and suddenly patted the back of the driver's seat, "Please stop the car in front."

The driver and co-driver of this car are both military personnel.

Li Yuanlang, the co-pilot, recognized that his name was Zhong Ming and that he was his father-in-law's bodyguard.

Zhong Ming turned around and said: "I'm sorry, you can't get off the bus halfway in the mission we received. Please forgive me, I can't agree."

Li Yuanlang was so anxious that he forgot that Zhong Ming was a man whose bounden duty was to give orders, and apologized: "I just saw an acquaintance who violated your rules, I'm sorry."

Zhong Ming did not have a deep impression of this son-in-law of the Lu family, mainly because Li Yuanlang was away from home for a long time a year.

I don’t have much contact, so I naturally don’t understand much.

It was just what Li Yuanlang said just now that made Zhong Ming look at Li Yuanlang with admiration.

Most of them; in most cases, such children are arrogant and unruly.

However, Li Yuanlang spoke so politely, which actually made Zhong Ming feel embarrassed.

He quickly explained, "I'm not targeting you, it's just that I can't violate the rules."

"It doesn't matter, you have your responsibilities, I understand." As he said that, Li Yuanlang looked towards the roadside again.

He happened to catch a red light and the car stopped, giving him the opportunity to watch a man and a young woman being intimate.

Li Yuanlang had a mobile phone, but he didn't use it to take any pictures.

He sneered at this kind of sloppiness.

But today he spotted this person twice in succession, and Li Yuanlang couldn't help but notice.

In fact, this person is no stranger, it is Chen Yushu's husband Sun Zhi'ao.

I have long heard that Sun Zhi'ao asked for leave from his work unit and went to teach in the mountains of the south.

Why did it appear in Beijing?

He was a married man and behaved intimately with other women. Li Yuanlang really felt sorry for Chen Yushu.

Even though their relationship as a couple is not good, Sun Zhi'ao's behavior is too much.

It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs. Li Yuanlang shook his head, simply closed his eyes slightly and said nothing.

As soon as he got home, Li Yuanlang first checked his cell phone. Fortunately, there was a signal.

This shows that Chen Yushu will contact him whenever there is news.

Li Yuanlang stood in the corridor, thought for a while, and went directly to his father-in-law's room.

When Lu Linsong saw Li Yuanlang, he put down the thread-bound book in his hand, pinched his brows and said, "I'm tired of reading. Come with me for a walk."

It was already mid-to-late May, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter.

Fortunately, as evening approached, there was a hint of cool breeze.

Lu Linsong has an upright body and walks vigorously.

Wearing a white half-sleeved shirt, black pants, and a pair of black shoes.

The two men walked side by side, with Li Yuanlang falling slightly behind.

This shows his respect for his father-in-law.

Not far behind him, his father-in-law's secretary and two guards followed.

Normally, you don't need it at all.

They always kept a distance from the couple.

This distance is difficult to control, it can neither be far nor close.

At least you can't hear the conversation.

"What do you think of today's events?" Lu Linsong asked.

“Expected.”

"Yeah." Lu Linsong walked slowly, looked up at the setting sun, and said meaningfully: "The setting sun is exactly the rising sun tomorrow morning. Look at the flaming clouds on the horizon, it will definitely be a sunny day tomorrow."

Li Yuanlang understood what his father-in-law meant, so he followed him and said, "It's better to have sunny days. Sunny days make people feel good."

"Haha." Lu Linsong smiled slightly, "Yeah, every time it's cloudy or rainy, my heart always feels clogged, stuffy, and irritable."

"This place is different from Chuzhong. I have a small vegetable garden to take care of there, but not here. Look at the vegetable seedlings I brought in Chuzhong, but they don't grow here. Do you think it's strange or not?"

"A place of water and soil supports a person. This is true for people, and the same is true for vegetable seedlings."

"What you said is reasonable. Indeed, the vegetable seedlings are familiar with the land where they grow. If they change the environment, they will not adapt." Lu Linsong asked as he walked: "Yuen Long, how is the progress of your negotiations today? Is it going well?"

"Alas!" Li Yuanlang sighed, "It was normal at the beginning, but in the afternoon Benge Company suddenly proposed that it would divide the 3 billion into two, and set up factories in Haixin City and our Deping respectively, and Haixin City would invest

1.8 billion, Deokpyeong 1.2 billion.”

"During the conversation with James, the other party's chief negotiator, I could clearly feel that the 1.2 billion part was actually a temporary decision made by Benge Corporation."

Lu Linsong suddenly stopped, put his hands behind his back and asked, "What is your reason?"

"During the morning break, James negotiated terms with me. The implication was that he wanted me to sell out information in exchange for their 3 billion investment, but I didn't agree."

Lu Linsong nodded frequently and continued walking forward, "This is in line with your principles. You cannot and will not do anything that betrays your conscience. Go on."

Li Yuanlang said: "I clearly feel that the negotiation trend after lunch has begun to enter the substantive stage. I know a lot about our Deping and ask detailed questions."

"Actually, at this time, Benge Company was already obviously willing to invest. James said it very straightforwardly, investing in Deping is also investing in me."
