Liao Xiaoqiang is one of the merchants invited by the Pingyang government. His Muqiang Investment Group is also a well-known large enterprise in Hanjiang.
At noon, he was ready to go to Pingyang City to attend the cotton mill's investment promotion conference. He had to attend countless such conferences a year and had long been accustomed to them.
He was somewhat interested in the investment promotion and restructuring of Pingyang Cotton Mill. After all, his first pot of gold came from the acquisition of state-owned assets.
Just as he was about to leave for Pingyang, he suddenly received a call from Yuanfeng Group.
Although he did not have much business dealings with Yuanfeng Group, the power behind Yuanfeng Group was too strong and he could not easily offend it.
He answered the phone nervously. Before he could speak, a cold and strong voice came from the other end, "Mr. Liao? This is Lu Yuanfeng!"
Liao Xiaoqiang's heart trembled when he heard this. He stood up from his seat in the boss chair in shock and asked in a trembling voice, "Boss Lu...Boss Lu? Why did you think of calling me? If you have any instructions, just tell me."
"Don't attend the investment promotion conference in Pingyang tomorrow. Do you understand?" Lu Yuanfeng said, as if ordering a subordinate.
Although Liao Xiaoqiang was puzzled, he didn't dare to ask since Lu Yuanfeng didn't say anything, so he smiled flatteringly, "Okay, okay, I'll follow Mr. Lu's arrangements. The cotton mill in Pingyang doesn't make much money anyway, so it's better not to go! Hehehe..."
He didn't dare to offend Lu Yuanfeng, but if he did offend the Pingyang Municipal Government, the worst that could happen was that he would not go to Pingyang to do business in the future.
But he couldn't leave Hanjiang! If he offended Lu Yuanfeng, it would be difficult to do business in Hanjiang in the future.
Although Lu Yuanfeng's father retired from the position of governor and was transferred to Yanjing to take up a sinecure.
However, he has worked hard in Hanjiang Province for more than ten years and promoted and won over a large number of Hanjiang cadres. Now these cadres basically serve as leaders in key positions. It can be said that Lu Yuanfeng's family is the core figure of the local powerful faction in Hanjiang Province.
In front of a powerful figure like Han Jiang, what is the Pingyang Municipal Government? Even if you offend all the leaders in Pingyang, you can't offend Lu Yuanfeng!
As a shrewd businessman, Liao Xiaoqiang has a clear understanding of the interests involved and knows exactly who he should listen to and who he should not.
He showed a mean face and flattered Lu Yuanfeng, "Boss Lu, you can just ask someone to call me for this little thing, why bother calling me in person? How about this, when are you free, give me a chance and let me arrange a meal for you?"
Lu Yuanfeng sneered and said, "Forget about the meal. Hurry up and inform your colleagues and tell them that it was me, Lu Yuanfeng, who said that anyone who dares to go to Pingyang to attend the investment promotion conference is against my Yuanfeng Group! Let them think carefully!"
"Yes, yes, rest assured. I will tell my friends to follow Mr. Lu's lead. We will never go to such a bullshit investment promotion conference. Hahaha..." Liao Xiaoqiang smiled on the surface. In fact, he kept cursing Lu Yuanfeng in his heart. You are stretching your hands too far, aren't you? Why do you care so much!
After hanging up the phone, he slumped down in the boss chair weakly. The beautiful secretary came in and asked him when he would leave for Pingyang.
He said to his secretary with a helpless look on his face, "Why the hell am I going? I'm not going!"
The secretary opened her mouth slightly, a little surprised. Seeing that the boss was angry, she twisted her hips and came over to give the boss a massage.
At this time, Liao Xiaoqiang's cell phone rang again.
He picked up the phone and saw that it was from the Pingyang Municipal Restructuring Office. He just glanced at it and hung up.
Not long after, Liu Haidong called. He politely asked Liu Haidong, "Mr. Liu, what can I do for you?"
Liu Haidong asked him straight away whether he was going to the Pingyang investment promotion conference and why he didn't answer the phone.
Liao Xiaoqiang was very surprised, thinking, didn't Liu Haidong just go to Pingyang to invest and build a factory? Do you really think that the Pingyang Municipal Government is your bread and butter? Is it necessary to protect Pingyang so much?
He didn't hide anything and told Liu Haidong directly that he couldn't go because of his poor health. Liu Haidong hung up the phone helplessly when he saw that he couldn't persuade him.
A few minutes later, Hou Yaodong from Dongsheng also called.
This time, Liao Xiaoqiang seemed to attach great importance to this call. After all, Dongsheng Group and Yuanfeng Group were both entities he could not afford to offend.
His attitude was obviously much more humble. He smiled and said to Hou Yaodong, "Boss Hou, why did you call me in person? Do you have any advice?"
Hou Yaodong asked him directly in a cold tone, "I heard that you were not feeling well and couldn't attend the Pingyang Investment Promotion Conference. I don't believe it! Tell me the reason!"
Liao Xiaoqiang was stunned. Was it for the Pingyang Investment Promotion Conference again?
What benefits did Pingyang City give them that deserved their hard work and help?
Liao Xiaoqiang looked a little embarrassed and sighed, "Boss Hou, please forgive me for offending you. To be honest, there is indeed someone who does not allow us to participate, but I cannot reveal the identity of this person!"
"Hmph! You don't dare to offend them, but you dare to offend our Dongsheng Group, and you dare to offend me, Hou Yaodong?" Hou Yaodong said coldly.
Hearing this, Liao Xiaoqiang was terrified. He quickly explained, "Boss Hou, you misunderstood. How dare I offend you? How about this, let me think about it and then give you an answer, okay?"
In desperation, Liao Xiaoqiang had to resort to the tactic of delaying the attack. Every second counts. After tomorrow, at worst he would go to Hou Yaodong's house to apologize!
Hou Yaodong didn't push him too hard. He said coldly, "I'll give you half an hour to think about it!" and hung up the phone.
