Chapter 1714: Wearing a High Hat

~7 min read 1,352 words

"Chairman Zhou, hello."

Deng Jinfu shook hands with Zhou Andong with a face full of smiles, but this smile of his was uglier than crying.

This old thing never dreamed that the few people standing at the door of the private room watching the excitement at Dongtai yesterday were actually Zhou Andong.

So, as soon as he saw Zhou Andong in the morning, he was dumbfounded, afraid of being recognized, and kept shrinking his head and hiding in the crowd.

Now that he was named by Yang Mulin, he had to bite the bullet and come out, praying in his heart that he wouldn't be recognized.

Zhou Andong seemed to hear his inner voice and said with a smile: "Director Deng, hello. Please take care of me in the future."

No one introduced him, and Deng Jinfu didn't say his name, yet Zhou Andong opened his mouth and called him Director Deng.

Except for Deng Jinfu, who was scared into a cold sweat, the others didn't think much of it.

After all, Zhou Andong was going to invest in Wancheng, so it was normal to understand the city leaders, especially the leaders of the Investment Promotion Bureau.

"Chairman Zhou, you are too polite."

Seeing that Zhou Andong didn't expose him, he secretly breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Being able to cooperate with Chairman Zhou is Wancheng's good fortune, and the good fortune of the people of Wancheng. I believe that with your investment, Wancheng's economy will reach a higher level, and the people's lives will be happier."

Zhou Andong wouldn't wear such a high hat; he was afraid he couldn't bear the weight and would break his neck, especially in front of Jian Zhengrong.

"Wancheng is a charming city with beautiful scenery. The mountains here and the water here nurture the magical charm of nature, which is fascinating."

"Wancheng is a multi-cultural ethnic city. The most hospitable people of all ethnic groups and the colorful ethnic culture blend and grow here."

"Opening the modern history, Lin Zexu ordered the public destruction of opium on Humen Beach, which lasted 23 days and destroyed a total of 2.37 million catties of opium. In 1840, Britain launched an aggressive war with the excuse of the Humen Opium Destruction, and Humen became one of the important battlefields of the Opium War."

"Guan Tianpei and Chen Liansheng led the soldiers and civilians of Humen to fight bloody battles, leaving behind many moving stories that are worth singing and weeping. It not only maintained national sovereignty and national dignity but also demonstrated the determination of the Chinese nation to oppose foreign aggression..."

"Wancheng is a red city, the ancestral home of the revolutionary pioneer Mr. Sun Yat-sen, and an important battlefield for the anti-Japanese war behind enemy lines in South China, led by the Dongjiang Column."

"The soldiers and civilians of Wancheng united as one to resist foreign insults, and more than 36,000 people sacrificed their lives, writing magnificent chapters with their blood and lives."

"Wancheng is also an important birthplace of Lingnan civilization, especially the earliest breeding ground of Cantonese culture. The Nanshe ancient village culture, the Keyuan Lingnan School of Painting, as well as the Cantonese opera culture, dragon boat culture, and lion dance culture that are still widely spread today, are all representatives of Lingnan culture."

"Wancheng is the pioneer of reform and opening up. Riding the spring breeze of reform and opening up, it opened roads through mountains and built bridges over water, realizing the development miracle from a traditional large agricultural county to a world factory."

"In the early days of reform and opening up in 1978, Wancheng seized the opportunity of industrial transfer from the Xiangjiang region, introduced a large amount of Hong Kong capital, and the first 'three-plus-one' trading-mix enterprise, Taiping Handbag Factory, was officially established in Humen, opening the prelude to national processing trade."

"Immediately following, the volcanic development of luggage, travel shoes, toys, electrical appliances, etc., made Wancheng a production and export base of hundreds of millions of pieces, known as the world's number one city for processing trade."

"Wancheng is even more of an inclusive city. The city spirit of 'embracing all rivers and being pragmatic' allows people from more than 40 countries and 56 ethnic groups to merge into one, learning, working, and living in Wancheng..."

Zhou Andong's remarks were recorded completely by the accompanying TV station reporters.

And city leaders like Jian Zhengrong and Yang Mulin had eyes that lit up even more after hearing this.

They had always wanted to create a city business card and were thinking about how to promote Wancheng.

Zhou Andong's remarks could be completely used for promotion.

"So!" Zhou Andong looked at Deng Jinfu and said very sincerely: "Being able to come to Wancheng to invest, seek business opportunities, and seek development is an opportunity given to the Yugong Group and Qiudongfang by Wancheng and the people of Wancheng."

Deng Jinfu smiled awkwardly. In his cognition, Zhou Andong often confronted heaven and earth in the media.

This guy's personality is flamboyant and high-profile, and coupled with being so young, he has achieved achievements that are difficult for people to reach.

It is conceivable that such a person must like to hear good words and like to be flattered.

As long as his attitude is good, and he praises and compliments a few words, he will definitely be able to gain his favor.

In this way, the two established a "friendship" and naturally wouldn't talk nonsense.

But he never dreamed that the real Zhou Andong was completely different from what he had understood before.

Only at this time did he realize that his previous understanding was so superficial.

Although Zhou Andong is flamboyant and high-profile in his conduct, his mind is exceptionally clear.

His flattery just now, no matter who it was aimed at, would definitely make them lose their sense of proportion.

But it was of no use at all with Zhou Andong, and instead gave this guy an opportunity to act cool.

In front of city leaders, he brushed a wave of favor, but made himself look like he had no level of speech.

Yang Mulin looked at Deng Jinfu with dissatisfaction. Aren't you usually quite eloquent?

Why did you speak so thoughtlessly this time?

Ma Pi also requires technique.

You have to speak human words when you see humans, and ghost words when you see ghosts.

When you see Zhou Andong, you have to speak divine words.

But just now, you said a bunch of nonsense.

If Zhou Andong was so easy to fool, and wore no matter how high a hat, could he still be standing here today?

It is estimated that he would have been buried somewhere by someone long ago.

Jian Zhengrong looked at Deng Jinfu with deep meaning; he felt that this old boy was a bit wrong today.

Next, Yang Mulin introduced others to Zhou Andong, and then they went to the restaurant.

…………………………

Japan, Tokyo!

The Okura Hotel is one of the most prestigious hotels in Tokyo, located in Toranomon, Minato-ku, Tokyo.

Opposite is the United States Embassy in Japan, so the hotel's security is very high.

Walking for a few minutes, you can reach many streets where food gathers.

When it's time to eat, you can dine at the hotel's restaurant.

The hotel is also very close to Tokyo Tower; if walking, it only takes twenty minutes.

Walking into the hotel is the lobby, and on both sides of the corridor on one side of the lobby are restaurants, bars, and flower shops.

The British youth Marco was sitting by the window in the restaurant, drinking red wine.

Opposite him sat a very beautiful British woman, elegantly cutting steak.

"The data is fine, the transaction can be completed."

Marco shook the wine glass, watching the red liquid change into different shapes in the glass, a smile appearing on his face.

"You leave first tomorrow, and I'll leave after the transaction is completed."

The woman picked up a napkin and wiped her mouth: "Why not leave together?" ===== CHAPTER 1715 =====
