At the dinner table, officials toasted An Jingzhi frequently and spoke nice words to him.
There were these people for three consecutive days, and there were so many of them.
"Mr. An, our country started late in development, and now everything is difficult. Hong Kong businessmen like you are willing to return to invest in our country, and our country welcomes you with open arms."
"Mr. An, you started from scratch and created a world for yourself in Hong Kong Island with your own abilities. You are the pride of our country."
"Guangdong Province seems to be developing quite well, but you don't know that the conditions in other parts of our country are far worse than here. We still need the joint efforts of our compatriots at home and abroad."
"We developed late, and we lag behind others in many things. There are some things we can't make, and we may not even be able to buy them from others if we want to."
An Jingzhi raised his hand to stop the other person. This person was praising him and complaining at the same time. It seemed that he wanted something from him.
After three days of contact, An Jingzhi actually had a good impression of them. They were all officials who worked hard to benefit the people.
Of course, they also have a good impression of An Jingzhi.
I originally thought he was another arrogant investor who thought the moon was rounder abroad and that life in the colonies was superior.
Unexpectedly, the other party's attitude towards the mainland was surprisingly good, and they were also very polite to their officials.
If it weren't for these three days of interaction, several officials would not have dared to make this request.
One of the older officials from the investment promotion department rubbed his hands, looking embarrassed.
"Mr. An, if that's the case, I'll just say it straight."
"Our country's foreign exchange reserves have always been insufficient. Don't you want to invest these five million US dollars domestically?"
"Can I exchange it directly into RMB for you?"
After saying this, the man obviously felt that his request was a bit excessive.
The country will definitely convert it into RMB according to the official exchange rate, but the current official exchange rate is far lower than the market exchange rate. If it is really all converted into RMB, An Jingzhi will be the one who suffers.
An Jingzhi naturally wouldn't care too much about contributing to the country's development.
"Okay." An Jingzhi said.
Several officials looked at each other with their eyes wide open, obviously not expecting An Jingzhi to agree so readily.
If these five million US dollars can all be converted into RMB, it will add another five million US dollars to the national treasury.
This is equivalent to the national total in previous years.
Several people were so happy that they got drunk that night.
