Qian Lingyun noticed that Yang Wanquan and Zhang Yi looked unhappy, and knew that they were feeling unbalanced because they saw Li Lin was so popular.
So he suggested to the two of them, "Leave this to Xiaolin. You two have been tired all day. Go back and have a rest early. The highlight is tomorrow morning."
Yang Wanquan and Zhang Yi nodded slowly, followed Qian Lingyun and walked out of the meeting room.
When everyone saw Qian Lingyun and the others were about to leave, they stopped what they were doing, quieted down, and looked at Qian Lingyun.
Qian Lingyun waved his hand and said, "Everyone, talk to Team Leader Li Lin for a while. You can tell us what you think in advance. I'll ask the office to send some midnight snacks over later. When the event is successfully concluded tomorrow, the municipal government will arrange a thank-you banquet. Then we can have a few drinks."
Upon hearing this, everyone was very tactful and politely shook hands with Qian Lingyun and the other two and said goodbye.
After Qian Lingyun and the other two left, Li Lin was the only one left in the conference room facing a dozen guests alone.
"Everyone please take a seat. It's getting late, so let's hurry up and have a few words. I will first briefly inform you about the procedures for tomorrow's investment promotion conference. If anyone has any opinions, please raise them and we will discuss it later." Li Lin said.
Upon hearing this, Liao Xiaoqiang quickly smiled and said, "Since it was arranged in advance by Team Leader Li, I don't think there will be any problem. There is no need to discuss it at all. We all have no objections, hehe..."
All of us? What qualifications do you, Liao Xiaoqiang, have to represent all of us?
Humph, flatterer!
All the merchants looked at Liao Xiaoqiang with contempt.
Liao Xiaoqiang felt the hostility of the crowd, but he didn't take it to heart. Instead, he stood up and stood on the side of the Pingyang Municipal Government and said to everyone, "Everyone, we are old acquaintances. We have worked together in the textile industry for many years. We are all good buddies."
"In front of Team Leader Li Lin, I have a suggestion. How about this? Anyone who is interested in the asset restructuring of the cotton mill can just raise their hands and state how much money they can invest and how much technical equipment they can bring. If anyone has any concerns or doubts, they can also ask directly."
"I'm sure everyone has heard about Team Leader Li Lin's heroic deeds in the Han River. Why not take this opportunity to open your heart to Team Leader Li Lin and make friends with him? What do you think, right?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. No one could have imagined that Liao Xiaoqiang would dare to speak so clearly tonight.
This is a public property. Li Lin is the person in charge of this investment promotion. Is it appropriate for you to openly ask to make friends with him? You are so bold!
Li Lin was also surprised. He did not expect Liao Xiaoqiang to be so straightforward. However, from Liao Xiaoqiang's cunning eyes, Li Lin saw that he was not really trying to bring these businessmen together to invest, but had some kind of selfish motive.
As for what he wanted to do, it was hard to guess for the moment.
He watched quietly, his face calm.
At this time, several merchants had begun to become impatient with Liao Xiaoqiang's performance of stealing the show.
Someone snorted and refuted him, "Boss Liao, the investment promotion conference hasn't started yet, and we haven't even visited the cotton mill. Isn't it too hasty for us to express our opinions now?"
"Yes, Xiao Liao, we all respect Team Leader Li Lin, and I believe Team Leader Li Lin can see that. But business is business, how can it be confused with friendship? You are being irresponsible when you say this!"
"As long as Team Leader Li Lin doesn't mind, we are willing to make friends like him. However, investment involves a lot of things, and we cannot jump to conclusions without investigation and research. I hope Team Leader Li Lin can understand our difficulties..."
Liao Xiaoqiang looked at everyone's performance and was not surprised at all. Instead, he smiled complacently, as if he had expected this result a long time ago.
Hearing this, Li Lin stood up with a smile and said to everyone, "My opinion is the same as yours. I still hope that you can draw conclusions after you have a deeper understanding of the situation of the cotton mill. I agree with what the friend just said. Business is business..."
He turned his head to look at Liao Xiaoqiang, and then said, "I understand Mr. Liao's kindness. On my own behalf, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you. I wonder what Mr. Liao thinks of the reorganization of the cotton mill? Is there any intention to invest?"
The reason why Li Lin asked this was to test whether Liao Xiaoqiang was just pretending or was really determined to invest.
Who the hell doesn't know how to say some polite words to smooth things over? He couldn't stand Liao Xiaoqiang's pretentious behavior and wanted to test his true thoughts.
In fact, Li Lin had a brief conversation with Hou Yaodong on the phone on his way from Dongsheng to the city hotel.
When he heard Hou Yaodong mention Liao Xiaoqiang, he reminded Li Lin that Liao Xiaoqiang was too shrewd and that one must be careful when dealing with him to avoid falling into his trap.
In addition, he revealed to Li Lin that Liao Xiaoqiang played an important role in the loss of contact with the merchants. If you want to know who is behind this, you can start with him!
When Liao Xiaoqiang heard Li Lin's question, he hesitated for only two seconds, then smiled and said, "Team Leader Li Lin, although I have not conducted on-site research at the cotton mill, I made my first pot of gold by investing in state-owned enterprises. I naturally have a good impression of state-owned assets."
"So, we, Muqiang Investment Group, are very willing to reach a cooperation with your city. I can state my position first. I will definitely invest in the cotton mill. As for the share, we will discuss it later."
After saying that, Liao Xiaoqiang looked at Li Lin with a proud look on his face.
Li Lin was a little surprised. He thought Liao Xiaoqiang was just pretending, but he didn't expect that he was really interested in investing in the cotton mill and his attitude was firm.
After hearing Liao Xiaoqiang's remarks, all the merchants were dumbfounded.
In their impression, Liao Xiaoqiang is the kind of person who won't act until he sees the rabbit. Why is he acting so abnormal today?
How could they decide to invest in a cotton mill in public without conducting any research or investigation?
It's a bit unexpected!
Everyone began to speculate, wondering, could it be that Liao Xiaoqiang was investing in Li Lin under the guise of investing in a cotton mill?
After all, Li Lin is the one who killed Sanding personally. Although his rank is not high now, he must have a bright future!
It is not uncommon for businessmen to invest in politicians. And the ways of investment are even more bizarre... Some give gold and silver, some give wives, some give lovers, some give houses... In short, there are endless ways, and they will not stop until they achieve their goals!
Thinking of this, all the merchants felt ashamed. They did not have the courage to invest hundreds of millions of dollars like Liao Xiaoqiang, so they felt a little inferior when faced with Liao Xiaoqiang's passionate determination.
Finally, someone couldn't sit still anymore, stood up, and said to Li Lin apologetically, "Team Leader Li, it's getting late. I think we should go back and rest first. We can discuss it in detail after the investment promotion meeting tomorrow."
The others also stood up and politely said goodbye to Li Lin.
