I don't know what Xu Xiangqian was thinking, but he agreed without hesitation, "Okay, I'll go back and get it."
When he walked out of the room again, Li Xu said cheerfully, "If the money is fake, he should have reacted later."
Li Ping gave him a thumbs up, said "I'll go out and take a look", and then went out.
After a while, Xu Xiangqian came over. Li Xu looked at him in surprise. "Old Xu, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Xiangqian not only changed his clothes and tied a tie, but also tidied his hair. He also tucked a briefcase under his left armpit, looking like a boss.
Xu Xiangqian smiled complacently, "When we're talking about serious matters, we should dress formally and cleanly."
Li Xu looked at his outfit and was speechless. "Do you think it's appropriate for us to go together?"
"What's inappropriate about that? You're a poor relative of mine, so it's normal for you to wear something a little worse."
This was the story they had come up with. Xu Xiangqian was the cousin of the three Li brothers. In order to escape the war, Xu Xiangqian's grandfather led the entire family to flee to Hong Kong. Since then, the two sides have not been in contact for many years.
Now that we’re in touch again, I’m thinking of helping the Li family.
As for why this is done.
It’s very simple. The ancestors of the Li family did a favor to the Xu family.
Don't think that this statement has big loopholes and can be easily exposed.
Let me put it this way, these days as long as there is foreign exchange, the higher-ups don’t care whether their relationship is real or fake.
To put it bluntly, with the current communication technology, no one would spend so much effort to investigate the background of both parties unless they are extremely bored.
If you still don’t believe it, you can refer to examples from later generations.
You have to know that even in the era of relatively good communications more than 20 years later, many local governments were deceived by so-called Hong Kong capital. You can imagine how difficult it is to investigate the background of each Hong Kong businessman.
Of course, Li Xu was also worried that some people would have nothing to do after eating and would look for trouble, so before leaving, he asked Li Ping to buy some stationery and envelopes, and to buy more stationery.
After learning the location of the local government from the front desk, Li Xu and the others headed straight there.
Like Guangzhou, there is a lot of construction going on here, and the air is filled with dust.
When he arrived at the place, Xu Xiangqian's neatly groomed hair had turned gray, and the leather shoes on his feet were even more unsightly.
Li Xu fiddled with his hair and said, "Cousin, how about you borrow a place to clean yourself up first?"
Xu Xiangqian sighed, "I really don't know why you think this place is suitable for doing business."
After saying that, he strode inside.
Looking at his back, Li Xu couldn't help laughing, then quickly followed him.
When the staff learned that Xu Xiangqian was a Hong Konger who was going to invest and build a factory, they showed great enthusiasm. They first apologized for the environment outside, and then found shoe polish and other items to help him clean the dust on his body.
When Xu Xiangqian became glamorous again, the staff took him and Li Xu straight to an office.
As they entered, a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing glasses and with a square face, came up to them quickly. He held out his hands with a smile on his face and said, "This must be our distinguished guest from Hong Kong. Let me introduce myself. My last name is Qian, and my given name is Jin. I'm in charge of attracting investment. You can just call me Xiao Qian."
Hong Kong people have always been particular about auspiciousness. When Xu Xiangqian heard the name Qian Jin, he was very happy.
But family matters matter to family, so Xu Xiangqian didn't dare act pretentiously. He quickly handed the bag to Li Xu and shook his hand. "Director Qian, you're too polite. What's the point of being a distinguished guest? I was also a mainlander decades ago."
Qian Jin's eyes lit up. "Were you from mainland China before?"
"Well, to escape the war, my family fled to Hong Kong and settled there. I was only four years old at the time. Since then, my grandfather and father have always told me not to forget my roots, not to forget that my family came from the mainland. I have always kept these words in mind. By the way, my last name is Xu, double Xu, and my full name is Xu Xiangqian."
This situation was very common, and Qian Jin was not surprised. He just wanted Xu Xiangqian to invest more money. "Mr. Xu, I wonder if your father and his family have thought about returning home to look for their relatives. If so, I can help."
Hearing this, Xu Xiangqian seemed to recall something sad. His eyes instantly turned red and his voice became choked with sobs. "My father and grandfather passed away a long time ago."
Qian Jin's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself, "Oh no! I'm flattering the horse but it hits the horse's hoof."
"Mr. Xu, I'm so sorry, I..."
He was just halfway through his words when Xu Xiangqian interrupted him, "Director Qian, there's no need to apologize. I know you mean well. Let me introduce you. The person next to you is my relative in the mainland. His name is Li Xu, and he's my cousin."
Seeing that he really didn't seem angry, Qian Jin breathed a sigh of relief, then walked to Li Xu and shook hands with him.
But he was not as enthusiastic as when he greeted Xu Xiangqian just now.
After sitting down, Qian Jin asked someone to make a cup of tea for Li Xu and Xu Xiangqian respectively, and then started chatting with Xu Xiangqian.
Li Xu listened quietly without saying a word.
After a long while, Xu Xiangqian finally got to the point. "Director Qian, I'm here to build a fan factory. I wonder if you can offer any preferential policies?"
Qian Jin immediately sat up straight and said thoughtfully, "May I ask what your investment budget is?"
"I plan to invest hundreds of thousands of yuan to test the waters first. If the benefits are good, I will increase the investment later."
To be honest, this number made Qian Jin a little embarrassed.
An investment of more than 100,000 yuan was not enough to get much discount, but Xu Xiangqian used subsequent investment as a bargaining chip.
