Chapter 1451: Everybodys shock
The woman is very beautiful.
Mature beauty.
Although she looks in her forties, she exudes a mature charm from head to toe. Her outfit is just right a dark blue casual women's blazer, a white s.h.i.+rt with a lace collar, tight white casual pants, short black stockings, and high heels. It's not an overtly s.e.xy look but rather an enticing charm that seems ingrained in her.
Enchanting eyes.
Sensual face.
Casual demeanor.
s.e.xy figure.
She captivates everyone the moment she appears.
No one expected that the leader of this group of wealthy foreign investors would be such a flavorful and s.e.xy woman. Judging by the delighted expressions of the other foreigners, it seems like they have a good relations.h.i.+p with her. From their att.i.tudes, it's evident that this woman might have the most a.s.sets, perhaps even surpa.s.sing them significantly. Otherwise, in the eyes of these businessmen, if you don't have the ability, they wouldn't show such respect. Since the beautiful woman has become their team leader, it's likely that she has surpa.s.sed everyone in terms of a.s.sets, and there may also be business dealings or cooperation with them. This unexpected revelation surprises the people of Meihe City.
Is this beautiful woman only forty years old?
Could her company's a.s.sets have already exceeded a hundred billion?
"Ms. Zhang," the female leader from the province shook hands with the beautiful woman with a smile, "It's great that you're here. I was just halfway through the introductions, and there were many investors I was not very familiar with, plus some language barriers. I'll leave it to you here; I'm heading back."
The beautiful woman smiled, "Are you leaving so soon?"
The female leader said, "I have some urgent matters to attend to."
The beautiful woman said, "If I had known, I wouldn't have let you accompany us. Look at the commotion this has caused. Don't let it affect your work. It's okay; you can go back."
"Hehe, we'll meet again."
"Sure. I'll take care of the remaining introductions."
After informing Hua Li, the provincial leader waved to the provincial staff and left the park.
As soon as she left, Hua Li became the highest-ranking person present.
Hua Li immediately approached and shook hands with the beautiful woman, "Director Zhang, h.e.l.lo. I am Hua Li, the deputy mayor in charge of investment promotion in Meihe City. Welcome, welcome."
The beautiful woman chuckled, "h.e.l.lo, Mayor Hua."
Hua Li introduced, "This is our Investment Promotion Bureau Director, Lu Weiguo."
The beautiful woman smiled and shook hands with Lu Weiguo, "h.e.l.lo, Director Lu."
Lu Weiguo admired the beauty and temperament of this woman in his heart. Moreover, without saying much, he could tell that she wasn't one of those Chinese who rarely visited the Republic, as her Mandarin was very standard and even had a hint of a Beijing accent.
The scene fell silent for a moment.
The beautiful woman glanced at everyone present and smiled, "Sorry for being late. I met some old cla.s.smates in the provincial capital whom I hadn't seen for many years, so I came a bit late. Please forgive me." After turning her head, she spoke a few words in English to communicate with the foreign investors. Then, she looked at the people from Meihe City and said, "I've just finished introducing Mr. Frank and the others. Now, let me continue introducing the rest." Pausing momentarily, she continued, "Hehe, let me first introduce the youngest person among us. This is Anna, the third shareholder of Cole Group."
Applause erupted.
The foreign girl in her thirties playfully blew a kiss to everyone.
One of the local investment promotion staff also blew a kiss in response, but the next moment, their bureau chief fiercely stared at him, and he shrank back, not daring to say a word.
Everyone laughed good-naturedly, and the tense atmosphere immediately relaxed.
With the arrival of the beautiful woman, the atmosphere here had changed.
"Next is the fourth shareholder of Langwen Group. Let's call him Leiming. By the way, I should mention that the first shareholder is his father. Hehe," the beautiful woman said.
Then, a foreigner also stepped forward and said a few words.
The beautiful woman smiled and translated, "He says our place is beautiful, much better than the western part of the country, although I tricked him into coming. But now he forgives me, haha." The beautiful woman was humorous and articulate, and her use of "our place" immediately brought everyone closer.
Everyone laughed.
The beautiful woman continued, "Next is Reynar, the Chief Investment Advisor of Pengde Corporation."
Three
Five
Ten
The beautiful woman introduced all these people in the blink of an eye.
Her introductions were much more detailed than those of the provincial leader. Whether they were the second or third shareholder, she knew each company's specific business like the back of her hand.
As the people from Meihe City listened, they applauded while inwardly gasping.
Some companies might not have a significant reputation, but many were well-known. The shareholders or investment advisors of these renowned corporate groups stood right before them, creating a dreamlike sensation. The pie that fell into their laps was indeed huge. It's no wonder the provincial leader personally accompanied and escorted the foreign investors despite having urgent matters; these were international companies.
Finally, the beautiful woman said with a smiling face, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Zhang Longjuan. I am the organizer and leader responsible for this investment inspection. Thanks to my partners' and friends' love and support, all affairs and negotiations are entrusted to me. During the inspection, if there's anything, feel free to find me. Although my business is developing in Africa, I was born and raised in the Republic, which is my homeland. I naturally hope to contribute to my homeland if possible, within my capabilities, even though the investment may not be substantial. I hope for pleasant cooperation in the days to come. Well, that's all."
Hua Li applauded enthusiastically.
Lu Weiguo and the others nodded and clapped.
No wonder she was chosen to be in charge among so many big bosses. She not only looked s.e.xy but also had a different level of eloquence.
"My home, my homeland."
What a great statement!
But everyone also understood that, despite what she said, business is still business. Without projects that could attract her, there wouldn't be any investment.
With the introductions complete, Hua Li, Lu Weiguo, and the others began chatting with the beautiful woman and the investors.
With the beautiful woman as the translator, they no longer faced communication barriers, and the atmosphere became pleasant.
Later on, Chen Yunsong sighed, "Director Zhang is very articulate."
Gong Na blinked and said, "Listening to her, it seems she genuinely has investment intentions."
Chen Yunsong said, "She has strong feelings for our Country. Maybe that's why she came back. This time, we might secure some substantial investments."
However, Zheng Dayou was not blindly optimistic. The woman named Zhang Longjuan was indeed competent, but the more capable a person, the more challenging they tend to be to deal with. How could it be that easy? She came all the way just to support the development of impoverished areas? People with such n.o.ble intentions were rare.
"Mayor Dong."
""
"Mayor Dong."
Zheng Dayou called him twice.
Dong Xuebing snapped out of his thoughts, "Hmm, what's going on?"
"Do we want to compete?" Zheng Dayou asked.
Many heads of investment promotion bureaus from different counties had already started conversations with the investors. Even if language communication wasn't smooth, they couldn't wait for the beautiful woman to translate every time. After all, there were too many people, and she couldn't translate for everyone. But the early bird catches the worm, and at least they could seize the opportunity. However, Zhen Shui County was left at the end without making any moves. Although they decided to focus on domestic small investors, there was always a chance. What if the other party decided to invest? They still had to give it a try.
However, Dong Xuebing glanced at the beautiful woman and shook his head expressionlessly, "No need. With so many people around, we can't join the excitement."
"But"
"Trust me."
"Uh, alright."
Zhen Shui County didn't approach.
Especially Dong Xuebing, who seemed very calm. He already had a plan in mind.
Meanwhile, Hua Li, Lu Weiguo, and others were already discussing the main topics with the beautiful woman and the investors.
Deputy Mayor Hua looked at her and said, "Director Zhang, have you finalized the itinerary for your inspection this time? If not, we can help recommend some places. Everyone has different project needs. We can provide many suggestions if you specify the type of projects you want to inspect. Let's choose a general direction and focus on it. What do you think?"
The beautiful woman smiled, "No need for that. We want to take a look by ourselves."
"By yourselves?" Deputy Mayor Hua was surprised. "But what about the project introductions? Don't you need"
"It's alright. We'll contact your side if we need someone to accompany us during the inspection. But for now, we don't need it."
Everyone was waiting to hear where they planned to inspect, but unexpectedly, she said this.
Hua Li said, "That's fine, but you should all be first-time visitors to our city, right? It's impossible to know all the directions and locations. We should have some local staff."
The beautiful woman chuckled, "Thanks, Mayor Hua, it's okay. I came to partic.i.p.ate in your investment promotion conference as a favor. I have friends here, so I won't get lost."
Hua Li was stunned, "As a favor?"
"Friends," Lu Weiguo blinked suspiciously.
Why did they not know who invited such a large group of foreign investors?
Then, the beautiful woman looked at the crowd behind her, smiled, and exclaimed, "My friend is also present. With so many people, I didn't see him just now." After that, she waved in that direction.
Zheng Dayou wondered, "Why does it seem like she's waving to us?"
Gong Na was also puzzled, "It looks like it. Who is she calling?"
Then, to everyone's astonishment, Dong Xuebing walked up with a wry smile, "Ms. Zhang."
"Mayor Dong, haha." The beautiful woman took a few steps as if she wanted to shake hands with Dong Xuebing. However, she gave him a polite hug instead.
Everyone stared in shock.
