His sharp, hawk-like gaze was fixed on Xiao Weiguo, flashing several times as if trying to see right through him.
After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth and spoke.
"Young man, I must admit that what you just said was indeed quite brilliant, and it really touched my heartstrings. You could say that you successfully moved me."
Unfortunately, all of this was in vain.
After all, this matter involves a wide range of issues and has a huge impact; it is by no means something that I alone can decide on.
After you return, I will need to discuss this with several other colleagues and then combine everyone's opinions before making a final decision.
Therefore, what you have said so far is far from enough to convince us. You must provide sufficient reasons that will reassure and reassure everyone.
Xiao Weiguo listened quietly to what the other person was saying, without showing the slightest surprise on his face.
In fact, he had already anticipated Feng Guodong's words and felt that they were completely reasonable.
He knew that he was just an ordinary businessman, and if he could gain the recognition and support of these key figures, it would be tantamount to indirectly winning the trust and favor of the entire country.
But thinking about it from their perspective, how could they, as people who bear the heavy responsibility of safeguarding the national interest, easily entrust such an important and large-scale matter to a mere businessman like him?
Therefore, Xiao Weiguo was very clear at this moment that if he wanted to truly eliminate the concerns and worries of the leaders above and thus successfully complete this task, he had to demonstrate a more determined resolve and full sincerity.
Only by achieving this level of commitment can we hope to put those decision-makers in high positions at ease.
Xiao Weiguo took a deep breath, trying to calm his agitated emotions.
He stared intently at Feng Guodong in front of him, his eyes gleaming with a resolute and determined light.
Finally, he slowly opened his lips and solemnly said:
"Uncle Feng, I fully understand the profound meaning behind everything you just said."
Here, I, Xiao Weiguo, can make a solemn promise to you.
In order to successfully build this powerful force and swiftly suppress those dark and evil forces that harbor ulterior motives and plot against us, I will not hesitate for a moment, even if it costs me all my wealth!
No matter how large the amount of funds required, I am willing to bear it all myself and will never use a single penny of the national treasury.
Not only that,
At this point, Xiao Weiguo gritted his teeth slightly, as if he had made a great decision, and then continued.
"This force, which I have fully supported in establishing, will always obey the unified command of the state, strictly accept the state's comprehensive supervision, and flexibly comply with the state's reasonable deployments. I myself will absolutely not arbitrarily deploy or interfere in its internal management affairs."
Do you think my expression of sincerity is sufficient?
Xiao Weiguo's resounding words were like a thunderclap in everyone's ears, moving several people present.
You have to understand, his generosity is tantamount to him paying out of his own pocket and personally serving the country!
Although he will naturally reap certain benefits after the deed is done, from the perspective of the overall situation, Xiao Weiguo's actions are undoubtedly a huge sacrifice he is willing to make for the sake of all the Chinese people.
In fact, at first glance, it seems that once this new force is officially established and put into operation, it will completely sever ties with Xiao Weiguo, and apart from the initial investment, there will be no connection between the two whatsoever.
However, aren't those in leadership positions also made of flesh and blood?
They also possess a rich emotional world. Even though they usually adhere to the principles of fairness, justice, seriousness, and rigor, who doesn't truly understand human relationships and social customs?
After all, everyone knew perfectly well what Xiao Weiguo's purpose was in going against the majority and working tirelessly, both financially and physically.
That is why Xiao Weiguo has no worries about the country treating him unfairly.
After hearing his words, Feng Guodong was slightly taken aback, but quickly regained his composure, and his face did not show much emotion.
He slowly raised his hand, gently grasped the handle of the teacup in front of him, and then leisurely brought it to his lips.
However, at that moment, a hearty laugh suddenly burst from his mouth.
"Hahaha!"
The laughter was as loud as a bell, echoing throughout the room.
After laughing, Feng Guodong gestured to the crowd with his other hand and said.
"Come on, everyone, have some water, don't be shy!"
As he spoke, he took a small sip of the tea in his cup.
Just then, the tightly closed door was gently pushed open a crack, and a figure slipped in.
It turned out to be Feng Guodong's secretary. She walked quickly to Feng Guodong's side with light and cautious steps, then bent down and spoke in as low a voice as possible.
"Sir, the scheduled meeting time has arrived, and the next group of guests is waiting outside the door."
Upon hearing this, Feng Guodong put down his teacup, braced himself on the table with both hands, and stood up.
After straightening his clothes, he smiled and addressed the crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm really sorry, I have other matters to attend to, so I can't keep you here any longer today."
I hope we'll have the opportunity to meet again someday.
As he said this, his gaze lingered on Xiao Weiguo, and he emphasized the point slightly.
"Especially you, Comrade Xiao Weiguo, I really look forward to seeing you again!"
Forty minutes passed in a flash, and Xiao Weiguo knew he absolutely couldn't say anything more at this point; his superiors knew what was going on. Someone would give him instructions on what to do next.
Bai Zhenxuan was the first to stand up and lead the way in saying goodbye to Feng Guodong.
"Old friend, I'm sorry to have troubled you today because of the younger generation. Next time you come to Jiaonan, I'll treat you to some good wine."
Feng Guodong reached out and shook Bai Lao's hand, speaking softly.
"It might not be trouble; perhaps it's a pleasant surprise?"
Goodbye, Uncle Feng!
Xiao Weiguo shook hands with Feng Guodong, then turned and followed Elder Bai out of the hall.
Feng Guodong did not sit down. He stood with his hands behind his back, watching the slowly closing door and the figures disappearing into the distance, a smile on his face.
"Not bad, young man."
