Chapter 3203

The guests went up to speak one by one. They had done some homework before coming, so they all had something substantial to say. Some guests below who had different opinions even raised their hands to ask questions and debate on the spot. The atmosphere of the forum was very lively from the very beginning.

This made Su Xinghui very satisfied. This was the effect he wanted to achieve.

If he held an economic cooperation forum and ended up doing all the talking himself, it would be meaningless, and it would also cause some city leaders to develop some resistance. If everyone was cooperating, but you were the one leading everything, then what was there to cooperate about?

Now that everyone was debating, different ideas were sparking, and reaching a consensus in the end was the best way.

Anyway, the forum was to be held for three days, so everyone had plenty of time to speak freely; there was no need to rush. Su Xinghui was also in no hurry to throw out his own ideas. He wanted to wait until everyone's ideas reached a stalemate before he went up to present his own. This way, he could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

This was much easier than trying to persuade others one by one.

This morning, the atmosphere of the forum was very lively, and the discussion continued until nearly twelve o'clock. Only then did the host, Xiao Liu, announce that the morning's discussion was over and invited everyone to the restaurant for lunch. Only then did everyone go to the restaurant with a sense of unfinished business. However, those who had the same or different opinions still had to sit at the same table and continue their discussions.

For this lunch, everyone didn't sit in fixed seats; everyone formed their own groups. This way of doing things made the forum seem less rigid and allowed these guests, who were not too familiar with each other, to get to know each other as quickly as possible, which would make the discussion more effective.

Su Xinghui sat at a table with Chi Yongjun, their seats side by side. Chi Yongjun hadn't expected the forum to take this form, but he felt this form was very good—very free and very open. He could also understand why Su Xinghui adopted this method.

Chi Yongjun whispered to Su Xinghui, "Xinghui, you're quite impressive. Do you want me to cooperate with you this afternoon?"

This morning, Chi Yongjun hadn't gone up to express his views; he was prepared to listen to others' views first.

Su Xinghui said, "Sure, you should express your views this afternoon as well."

Chi Yongjun nodded knowingly. He was going to cooperate with Su Xinghui to gradually throw out some viewpoints; this was a way of guiding the direction of the forum.
