As soon as the investment promotion process was completed, the merchants were already eager to leave.
The merchants stood up, held Qian Lingyun's hand tightly, and said helplessly, "Mayor Qian, we have a general understanding of the cotton mill reorganization project. We will take these materials away and study them carefully after returning. If we encounter any questions, we will trouble you again.
This investment promotion conference was very successful. It is the highest-level city-level investment promotion conference I have ever attended. We sincerely hope that the cotton mill can be reorganized successfully as soon as possible... Goodbye. "
Looking at these merchants who have decided to leave, Qian Lingyun had a lot to say in his heart, but he couldn't say anything at this moment. He could only force a smile and said helplessly, "Thank you very much for coming to Pingyang to participate in the investment promotion conference. Please forgive us for the poor hospitality. We originally arranged a reception banquet, thinking that we could drink and chat together in the evening to enhance our relationship. It seems that we can only find another opportunity."
The merchants smiled and said, "There will definitely be opportunities in the future. Mayor Qian, goodbye then."
Although this "goodbye" was said with a smile, to Qian Lingyun, it sounded as if there was frost all over the sky, extremely cold.
These merchants came and went in a hurry, and their perfunctory attitude did not need to be guessed; it could be seen at a glance.
It was soon noon, and many merchants did not even have lunch before hurriedly taking the bus back to the provincial capital.
In an instant, the originally bustling banquet hall gradually became quiet as the guests left, and a deserted atmosphere began to spread.
As media and government workers at all levels packed up their things and left, the entire banquet hall suddenly became empty.
This really proves the saying that the happier you are at the beginning, the more disappointed you will be at the end.
In the conference room on the second floor of the city hotel, Qian Lingyun, Yang Wanquan, Zhang Yi and others all looked lonely and listless, like eggplants hit by frost.
Li Lin pushed the door and walked in with the report materials in his hand.
Qian Lingyun raised his head and glanced at him, then asked hurriedly, "Xiao Lin, have you finished summarizing? What did you gain from this investment promotion meeting?"
The summary mentioned here is to sort out the suggestions and ideas collected from merchants at the investment promotion meeting to see how many companies have the intention to invest in cotton spinning mills so as to follow up further.
Li Lin said somewhat disappointedly, "It has been summarized. But judging from the current situation, it is not very optimistic. Basically, no merchants have expressed the intention to invest in a cotton mill."
Although Ren Jianghai and Liao Xiaoqiang expressed to Li Lin their desire to invest in a cotton mill during an informal meeting, statements made in that situation cannot be counted and are therefore not included in the statistics.
It was impossible for Li Lin to report this so-called good news directly to Qian Lingyun just because of the casual statements made by these two companies. After all, if he gave them too much hope, the disappointment would be greater.
Hearing Li Lin's words, Qian Lingyun sighed helplessly, then looked at Yang Wanquan and Zhang Yi beside him, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Yang Wanquan then asked, "Xiao Lin, how many merchants are still here?"
Li Lin replied, "There are also representatives from the Textile Association, Mr. Ren from Jianghai Group, and Mr. Liao from Muqiang Group..."
Yang Wanquan said, "Well, it seems that the people who stayed behind are definitely interested in the cotton mill. Xiaolin, you have to work harder and follow up more to keep abreast of their developments."
Li Lin nodded and said, "Okay."
After Liao Xiaoqiang finished lunch and returned to his room, he just sat on the sofa and was about to drink some tea when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was Lu Yuanfeng calling. He suddenly became very nervous. He began to regret why he stayed in Pingyang and thought that he would definitely offend Lu Yuanfeng this time.
He answered the phone and said with a big smile on his face, "Mr. Lu... Mr. Lu, hello..."
Soon, Lu Yuanfeng's laughter came from the phone, "Liao Xiaoqiang, you are really brave! You actually ran to Pingyang without telling me. Everyone else left, but you stayed until the end. What? Do you really want to invest in the cotton mill, or are you determined to go against me?"
Liao Xiaoqiang was sweating from nervousness, and explained in a trembling voice, "Boss Lu, I don't mean to go against you. It's just that business has not been very busy recently, so I want to take a break in Pingyang for two days. You also know my financial resources. How can I afford to invest in a cotton mill? Boss Lu, you really misunderstood me."
Lu Yuanfeng snorted coldly and said, "If it weren't for the fact that you didn't reveal my identity, I would have sent someone to bring you back right now! Now, if you want to continue your business after returning to Hanjiang, then you have to do something for me!"
Liao Xiaoqiang didn't dare to refute at all, and said through gritted teeth, "Boss Lu, just tell me what you want to do. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse."
Lu Yuanfeng said, "Refuse? Do you dare to refuse me?"
Liao Xiaoqiang said quickly, "No... I don't dare."
Lu Yuanfeng continued, "Ren Jianghai from Jianghai Group is also in Pingyang. You should cooperate with him. The two of you should come forward and reach an agreement with the Pingyang Municipal Government on investing in the cotton mill as soon as possible. Remember, you should do whatever Ren Jianghai tells you to do."
Liao Xiaoqiang panicked. He said, "But... the cotton mill investment is so huge. How can Ren Jianghai and I invest so much money? Mr. Lu... do you think too highly of me?"
He thought that if the cotton mill was to be put back into production, it would require an investment of tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars, which he could not afford.
