Lin Xun said with a disappointed look on his face: "Zhang Pingmin said that the final decision is in my hands, but he reminded me that these people are not easy to deal with. We can't avoid them and we can't afford to offend them."
I responded angrily: "This old fox is just short of telling you to compromise."
Lin Xun said helplessly: "You can't blame him entirely. What can he do in the face of these powerful brothers? Otherwise, should I agree to them?" She looked at me with a questioning look.
I slammed the table and said, "Absolutely not! Once the defense line is breached, the first to rush in are jackals, followed by tigers and leopards. In the end, all our hard work is just to make wedding clothes for others."
She looked at me blankly: "What else can I do?"
I asked, "What's the name of the CEO of Qihang Investment?"
She picked up a business card from the table and handed it to me. I glanced at it and saw: He Zhibin.
I said decisively: "I'll go meet him."
Lin Xun tried to dissuade him: "No, what identity do you have to meet him? A shareholder of Daxun? Or as the deputy county chief? Either way, it may cause trouble. We can't make such a meaningless sacrifice. I would rather hand over the company to you than put you in danger."
I looked into her eyes that were full of concern, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart.
I bit my lip tightly, my brain working rapidly, but I couldn't find a better response strategy for a while.
The air conditioning temperature in Lin Xun's office has been set to a very low level, but beads of sweat still seep out from between my nostrils.
I asked, "What stage has Daxun reached in its listing process on the Growth Enterprise Market?"
Lin Xun replied: “We will submit the materials to the Securities Regulatory Commission soon.”
I was puzzled: "How did they know that Daxun was going to go public when it hadn't even entered the application acceptance stage?"
She said helplessly: "These people have great powers and many channels of information. They have already laid out a dragnet, waiting to catch fish, and this time Daxun unfortunately became their target."
I thought what she said made sense, but it also made my last resort go up in smoke. I originally thought that once a full set of materials were submitted to the CSRC and the equity structure was basically finalized, I could use this as a means to shut out Qihang Investment.
On second thought, if these people knew that Daxun Group's IPO had progressed to the stage of submitting materials, they would not have come so blatantly to compete for it. They chose this moment to act, and they grasped the timing just right. I really admire their energy.
Since I couldn't come up with a good plan for the time being, I decided to settle for the next best thing and said to Lin Xun, "I must meet this He Zhibin. Knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in every battle. I have to find out more about him."
Lin Xun seemed a little anxious: "I told you you couldn't go, why are you so stubborn?"
I chuckled. "A deputy county chief who only cares about getting promoted and making money wants to marry the governor. Isn't this reasonable enough? You should be relieved now, right?"
Lin Xun's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he nodded, but then shook his head: "This method is feasible, but they are always picky, and you may not be in their eyes. What if he refuses to see you?"
I said confidently: "Don't worry about this, it's a good idea."
I quickly saved He Zhibin's phone number on the business card into my mobile phone.
Then, I looked at Lin Xun with a firm gaze and comforted him softly, "Relax, in this defense battle, I will remember the teachings of Sun Yat-sen's Art of War, to win by the right combination, to despise the enemy strategically, to take the enemy seriously tactically, to flexibly use mobile tactics, and to fight the enemy to the end."
She shook her head: "Guan Hongjun, the situation is urgent, and you are still so stubborn. You are really too mean."
I pretended to smile and said, "I'm not being rude. I'm willing to give anything to protect my girl."
Lin Xun's cheeks flushed, and she said softly but affectionately, "Get lost!"
I am not a lump of meat and cannot really "roll", so I straightened my chest, took a few steps, and walked out in a cool manner.
I returned to the county government office, leaned back in my comfortable office chair, enjoyed the cool air of the air conditioner, and repeatedly thought about how to engage in a head-on confrontation with He Zhibin.
After the strategy was mature, I picked up my phone and called him.
Obviously wary of 뀘, 뀪 asked in a cold tone: "Who are you?"
I introduced myself and listed my official title and position in detail.
I could clearly feel that He Zhibin's tone softened a bit, but he didn't show too much politeness. He just said calmly, "I wonder what County Magistrate Guan wants to talk to you about?"
I deliberately responded in a flattering tone: "Mr. He, your Qihang Investment is a breath of fresh air in the capital market of the province, and your investment vision is unique. I heard that you personally came to our small county to investigate investment. As a local official responsible for attracting investment, I should naturally pay you a personal visit. I wonder when you will..."
He interrupted me abruptly, with a hint of displeasure in his tone: "How did you know I was here?"
I pretended to be relaxed and perfunctory: "I am in charge of the investment promotion work of the entire county, so I naturally have many ways to obtain information."
He pondered for a moment and said, "I came here mainly to deal with some personal matters, which are not closely related to your scope of responsibilities. We are both very busy. If there is a chance, we can meet again next time I come."
There was no point in talking, and I had a feeling he was about to hang up the phone.
As expected, he said, "County Magistrate Guan, if there is nothing else, let's do this for now."
It seems that if I don't use some tricks, it will be difficult to even get a chance to meet him. I threw out a sentence: "The decision of Daxun Group is not decided by Mr. Lin alone."
This statement obviously hit the nail on the head. He was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone and asked, "Where do you think it would be more appropriate to meet, County Magistrate Guan?"
I chuckled. "Other places are too conspicuous. It's better to be more secretive. I think you can tell me the hotel you are staying in and I will book a room on the same floor. This way it will be safer to meet. What do you think?"
He fell silent again, and after a moment responded, "Okay, call me when you get there."
I answered simply, “Okay.”
Then he hung up the phone first.
The intention to harm others must not be there, but the intention to guard against others must always be there. Of course I couldn't go to his room rashly. I have to be wary of him setting up recording or listening devices.
The meeting was already scheduled, and I knew that I had to invite the protagonist of this scene as soon as possible, so I didn't dare to delay for a moment and hurried to the development zone.
At eight o'clock that evening, I opened the door for He Zhibin on time.
