The arrival of the small RB completely shattered Ericsson's advantage.

They had initially held the initiative, but now they had completely lost it. Bob was getting anxious and wanted Redding to contact Xing Baohua.

Unfortunately, this guy kept avoiding them.

The city government already knows about the sudden arrival of so many foreigners. The news came from the capital that they've come for a business trip.

The provincial foreign affairs office notified the city to make preparations for receiving them. Upon learning that so many foreigners were coming, the city's top official simply said, "Give them a good reception."

Until the details are clear, the bigwigs will not come forward for the time being.

Director Jiang from the Municipal Government Office was also notified to join the reception team.

But this guy knew instinctively that he had missed his chance. Whether Ericsson's foreign team can get what they want is another matter. If they don't get what they want, will they invest in this city?

However, there is still a chance. Maybe that young man can help and perhaps one of the foreigners who come can leave some investment behind.

Director Jiang, who had a sudden realization, decided to find an opportunity to have a good talk with that young comrade.

The Japanese are quite capable; even when they came to central Shandong, they used their connections to visit key leaders and hold a brief meeting.

The city hotel went out of its way to accommodate these foreigners. The hotel manager was pleased, and Xing Baohua's room was kept in reserve for him.

They even send someone to clean it every day.

The assistant to the motorcycle manager, Henry, was named Leon, and he looked to be in his thirties. He was also over 1.8 meters tall and somewhat thin.

After arriving at the hotel, I called Xing Baohua first, hoping to meet with her alone.

After thinking about it, Xing Baohua declined for the time being.

It's not appropriate to meet at this time.

Of course, polite words still had to be exchanged. Xing Baohua told Leon that he hoped they could have a proper chat when they came to visit.

Shortly after Xing Baohua hung up the phone, a car arrived outside. Ruding got out and went directly to Xing Baohua's office.

Upon entering the room, he complained to Xing Baohua, "Xing, this isn't fair to your business partners. Since you chose Ericsson, why did you invite other companies over? Your attitude is very unfriendly to Ericsson."

"I find you hilarious, you know? I already went through with you guys. A deposit is required, and I can offer you the best priority. Too bad you don't want it? I need to sell the stuff I've developed. Since Ericsson is still hesitating, can't I find someone who isn't?"

“Xing, tell me your account number. The two million US dollars deposit will be in your account soon. Bob can sign the contract with you tomorrow morning. How about it?” Redding said anxiously.

There's no time to lose! Each newcomer is richer than the last. Ericsson is a giant, and a long-established brand. But financially, it still lags far behind Motorola and Sony.

Who knows who will come next? Who knows how many invitations Xing Baohua sent out?

Xing Baohua shook his head and said to Redding, "Sorry, my friend. It's unfair to the clients I invited if you're paying a deposit now. I don't mind if you have a fair competition."

“Xing, let’s not compete. How about this: six million US dollars, we’ll sell the patented product that’s actually useful. Buddy, you have to understand, those companies might not be able to offer you that much,” Redding said.

Xing Baohua shook his head and said, "Since they're here, I should at least hear their final price after bargaining! To put it bluntly, I'm a partner with Motorcycle, otherwise why would they give me the two-way paging system?"

The underlying message was that Motorola would provide a safety net. Regardless of the final price, Xing Baohua still wanted to supply Motorola. His statement was intended to put pressure on Ericsson.

The initiative is in their own hands; they can play it however they want. Ericsson was just playing tricks, wasn't it? Before they could even finalize their plans, Xing Baohua had already started pulling out his own.

The effect is even better than Ericsson's fancy designs.

After failing to persuade Xing Baohua, Rui Ding returned home.

Xing Baohua arranged for a thorough cleaning of the factory, as many people would be visiting in the next couple of days, and he was prepared to receive them.

Xing Baohua wanted to arrange for the motorcycle company to visit and discuss business on the second day. He planned to arrange for Sony representatives to visit on the third day.

The municipal office has already sent people to assist, and quite a few people from the town have also come.

Xing Baohua had informed Secretary Huang of the village in advance, asking him to come and help as soon as possible.

Actually, there was no need to give him advance notice; the town had already told him beforehand.

With a highly organized person in charge at the factory, Xing Baohua was able to free up a lot of time.

To showcase the powerful performance of the local area network and wireless devices, Xing Baohua, Liu Quan, and others further optimized the equipment.

Thirty televisions were arranged by the city government office to be used as monitors.

There are plenty of learning machines being produced during this period; use them freely, then repackage them and resell them after use.

This is even better than the pre-shipment test results, after all, it's a product that has been tested.

With everything prepared, Xing Baohua was just waiting for people to come to his door.

The next morning around 9 a.m., staff from the city government office called ahead to say that the people had started walking from the hotel toward the electronics factory.

The whole process takes about half an hour.

Xing Baohua also lacked the financial and material resources of a machinery factory to organize a welcoming ceremony.

In fact, Director Huang wanted to have representatives from the primary school students come to participate in the welcoming ceremony, but Xing Baohua refused.

It's all for adults, why are we making kids do it? Are they just bored and have nothing better to do?

Even if he later establishes his own factory-affiliated school, Xing Baohua will not allow the children to participate in the welcoming procession.

This habit needs to be corrected.

The group arrived, and the foreigners got off the bus one by one. Xing Baohua and his management team greeted them. A big shot from the city had come. Although he had the title of deputy, he was still a big shot in charge of the company.
