Chapter 1073

If Shang Jianhong were to reimburse them, it wouldn't be much of a matter, but that wasn't how things were done. Therefore, he could only nod and say, "Fine, this place is not bad. You're holding this event the day after tomorrow, right? Then let them stay here for these two days to help you set up the venue and such."

Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Thank you, Director Shang."

Shang Jianhong said, "Don't be so formal with me. Just call me brother."

Su Xinghui then called out, "Brother Shang, then you should call me by my name too."

Shang Jianhong nodded and said, "Alright, Xinghui. I'm quite busy these two days and can't come every day, but on the day you hold the event, I will definitely come."

After Shang Jianhong left, Su Xinghui handed the three people he had sent to help over to Li Daqing, letting Li Daqing and the others study with them how to arrange the venue and how to introduce the situation to the investors.

Saying it was "studying together" was actually a way to save their face. Li Daqing and the others all knew that this was actually letting them learn from their peers in Pengcheng. In every aspect, the gap between them and the others was too large; they were only in a position to learn.

Over these two days, Su Xinghui met with Xiang Tianlu, Mai Yonglun, Xiong Ruisong, and Qiao Dashu. They all said they had helped Su Xinghui invite some friends who would definitely show up on time to support him. They didn't dare say everyone would be able to invest in Pengjiawanzhen, but there should still be quite a harvest, and they would also be there to help drum up support on the sidelines.

Su Xinghui expressed his gratitude to each of them. He knew that for them to be able to do this much was already quite remarkable. If he truly wanted to get investors to invest, he still had to rely on Pengjiawanzhen's own investment environment and appeal.

Of course, Su Xinghui was quite confident about this point. Currently, Pengjiawanzhen's conditions in all aspects were quite good, and in this great era, these investors had money in their hands and always needed to invest. As long as Pengjiawan's conditions were not worse than other places, Su Xinghui had the confidence to bring them to Pengjiawan.

April 2nd was a Sunday. On this day, the investment promotion meeting of the Pengjiawanzhen Government, Shangjun County, Hudong Province, was grandly held at the Hudong Provincial Office in Pengcheng.

To tell the truth, when the staff of the Hudong Provincial Office in Pengcheng learned that Su Xinghui and his group were from a town government in Hudong Province coming to hold an investment promotion, they looked down on them quite a bit. A town government learning from others to hold an investment promotion? Wasn't this just messing around? They probably just spent public funds to go sightseeing.

This was only because someone in Hudong Province had greeted the office in Pengcheng, so the office staff did not make things difficult for Su Xinghui and his group. They smoothly opened rooms for them and rented the conference hall to them. However, behind their backs, they said plenty of strange things, especially a few locals from Pengcheng who were waiting to see their joke, believing it was impossible for many people to come and show support.

But unexpectedly, early that morning, many units came to send banners and flower baskets, almost covering the entire office building with banners. The entrance was also filled with flower baskets, the sound of firecrackers never stopped, and the people coming to show support were an endless stream.

There were many units listed on those banners; many companies, enterprises, and government institutions in Pengcheng had sent them. The most prominent ones, of course, were the banners sent by the Pengcheng Municipal Government and the Pengcheng Municipal Government Investment Promotion Office, which made the office staff widen their eyes.

One had to know that in the past, even if a municipal government from the interior came to Pengcheng to hold an investment promotion, they might not necessarily get the Pengcheng Municipal Government and the Investment Promotion Office to send such banners. Could it be that their town government was more impressive than a municipal government?

Thinking back to how someone from the Hudong Provincial Government had specifically called to greet them before they arrived, it was not hard for the office staff to imagine that these people had an unusual background. Immediately, their enthusiasm for the visitors from Pengjiawanzhen multiplied. The director of the office took the initiative to send his subordinates to help them receive guests, distribute materials, and collect flower baskets.

With their help, Li Daqing and the others were much more relaxed. There were too many people coming today; relying on just the few of them would definitely not have been enough. Fortunately, there were the three people sent by the Pengcheng Investment Promotion Office and the few people sent by the office to help, which allowed them to barely manage.

Seeing so many people, Li Daqing and the others were all grinning from ear to ear. Although they had anticipated that with Su Xinghui's ability and connections, the number of people coming wouldn't be too small, they hadn't expected so many. This time, their Pengjiawanzhen was destined to make a name for itself.

Although they were busy to the point of exhaustion, they were all in extremely high spirits and didn't feel tired at all. With smiles on their faces, they kept receiving guests and explaining the investment policies of Pengjiawanzhen to them.

This was only because the office's conference hall was large enough; otherwise, it really wouldn't have been able to accommodate so many people.

The land for the Hudong Provincial Office in Pengcheng was bought by the Hudong Provincial Government when the Pengcheng Special Economic Zone was just established. At that time, land in Pengcheng was still relatively cheap, so this plot of land was not small. The Hudong Provincial Government built the Hudong Building on this land, with one part used as the office in Pengcheng and the other part rented out for business.

This left conference hall was a full three to four hundred square meters. Originally, Li Daqing and the others felt this conference hall was too big, fearing that if few people came, they would lose face. Now they knew that this conference hall was just right.

At eight o'clock, Shang Jianhong arrived. Su Xinghui hurriedly went up to meet him and said, "Brother Shang is here. Thank you so much for showing your support, and these banners, they were all arranged by you, right?"

Shang Jianhong laughed and said, "Xinghui, don't be so formal with me. It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning."

After Su Xinghui exchanged pleasantries with Shang Jianhong for a moment, he ushered Shang Jianhong inside. Once Shang Jianhong arrived, the people coming up to greet him never stopped. The investors present naturally all knew this deputy director of the Pengcheng Investment Promotion Office; the deputy director of the Investment Promotion Office, of course, dealt with investors the most.

Shang Jianhong greeted these investors one by one. He put his arm around Su Xinghui's shoulder and said to these investors with a smile, "Town Mayor Su is my little brother; everyone must support his work."

Shang Jianhong's attitude toward Su Xinghui was very affectionate. Seeing this attitude in the eyes of these investors, their view of Su Xinghui naturally changed. This Town Mayor Su was incredible; even Director Shang was calling him brother.

After Su Xinghui ushered Shang Jianhong inside, he turned his head and saw another group of people walking into the conference hall entrance. Yu Ruizhi, Yu Ruoqiu, and the others were all walking in front. He hurriedly greeted Shang Jianhong and went to meet Yu Ruizhi and the others.
