Airport lobby.
Dong Xuebin's words indeed surprised many people.
No one had expected that Secretary Dong would immediately correct the mistake for Jiaolin County upon his arrival, not only relieving their embarrassment but also instantly changing the atmosphere. In fact, Secretary Dong's previous remarks were all based on the information provided, merely repeated verbatim, but in this situation, only Secretary Dong's intervention would be effective, because he was the Top Leader, the highest-ranking leader among all the officials present.
President Zhou was quite surprised after listening, "I didn't expect Secretary Dong to be so knowledgeable about our company."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "Of course, how could we not know President Zhou's famous name?" He pointed to the young man from the Investment Bureau who had made the mistake and said, "It's just that this Little Comrade of ours is new and not yet familiar with the business, and lacks experience, so he doesn't know President Zhou well, haha."
President Zhou was also very pleased, and he, who had always been serious, rarely showed a smile, "Secretary Dong is too kind, even remembering the date of our company's listing, I am truly flattered."
The two exchanged pleasantries, and the atmosphere became increasingly better.
Next, Dong Xuebin didn't neglect the others, looking at Wang Ying, who had introduced herself earlier, and another middle-aged man who hadn't spoken much, he smiled, and then said to the erring youth from the Investment Bureau, "Xiao Chen, let me educate you further, this is Director Wang Ying, this is Director Zhang Shuaibing, although Director Wang and Director Zhang's companies are not yet listed, their company scale is no smaller than President Zhou's, for example, the hot piece of land in the Shanghai New District, the news just reported it a while ago, that piece of land was acquired by Director Wang, and it's still the Land King in the surrounding area, who in the industry doesn't know about this? And Director Zhang's company, although currently in a period of transformation, is preparing to enter the media industry. But the capital accumulated through real estate in the past is an astronomical figure, and they were among the earliest real estate developers in the country. Which of the older generation of real estate tycoons doesn't know Director Zhang? You, study more, even misremembering such famous Bosses in the real estate industry, how can you do Investment Promotion Work?"
The youth from the Investment Bureau nodded repeatedly, assuring, "Yes, Secretary, I will definitely work harder in the future and won't make this kind of mistake again!"
In fact, these three Bosses have some fame in the industry, but they can't be considered real estate tycoons, not to that extent. Dong Xuebin said this intentionally to elevate them.
Wang Ying felt very comfortable listening, "Secretary Dong is praising us too much."
Zhang Shuaibing also took a closer look at Dong Xuebin, feeling that this County Party Secretary was really not simple. Even the Investment Bureau staff, who specialize in this, had misremembered their information, but Dong Xuebin, as the County Party Secretary... actually remembered them so clearly, without a single mistake? No wonder he became the County Party Secretary at such a young age, indeed, one cannot judge a book by its cover.
Behind them.
The people from the County were discussing.
"Holy crap. Secretary Dong really memorized it?"
"How is that possible, a hundred Investors, memorized them all?"
"I spent a full three days memorizing these things, and I still didn't remember many of them. Many that I did remember, I've forgotten a lot now. Secretary Dong is so busy, he barely has any time to Sleep these days, going Home at ten or eleven o'clock every day. And going to the cultural festival site at five or six o'clock the Next Day, this... how does he have this time? And isn't the Investor part the responsibility of the County Government? It was decided last time. Why would Secretary Dong need to remember these?"
At this time, more Investors from the same flight came over.
Also three people, but they arrived at different times, obviously not knowing each other very well.
Zhang Dongfang and Wei Zhixuan quickly went up to greet them, "Hello, welcome, welcome."
It was always this line, making people feel that the sincerity wasn't that great. Dong Xuebin looked at his watch, the flight he was waiting for probably wouldn't arrive anytime soon. Since he had already stood out, he might as well take care of it to the end. Dong Xuebin also attached great importance to the Investor part, because even if he brought in celebrities or held parties, the ultimate goal was still to attract investment from the Investors, which was the most fundamental purpose.
So, Dong Xuebin went up again, "Oh, this must be President Chen of Dongyu Group?"
President Chen was stunned, "Have we met?"
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "We haven't met, but I've seen you on TV. President Chen's group has been gaining momentum recently, acquiring several electronic component factories, your name is like thunder in my ears."
President Chen smiled slightly, "You're too kind, you're too kind, and you are?"
A person from the Investment Bureau immediately said, "This is our County Party Secretary."
President Chen's expression froze, and then he enthusiastically went up to shake hands with him.
Dong Xuebin didn't neglect the other Investors either. After saying a few simple words to President Chen, he turned his head again, looking at a middle-aged man. He had just heard a few people from the Investment Bureau talking in low voices, it seemed that this person was also an Investor, but he wasn't on their invitation list, so they were also stammering, not knowing how to address and communicate with him.
But Dong Xuebin smiled and reached out his hand, saying, "Director Dong."
Director Dong had been watching them talk and communicate, never expecting someone to call out his surname all of a sudden. He was well aware that he was just a businessman of moderate size, not that famous, and he had come uninvited. His name wasn't on the invitation list either, so Director Dong was very puzzled.
Dong Xuebin shook his hand, "There was a Charity Auction at the beginning of the year. I saw you on TV. I remember you bid for a screen at the time, and the money from the final auction was all donated to the Hope Elementary School. I have always admired philanthropists. Welcome, Director Dong, to our County to investigate investment opportunities. It's an honor."
Director Dong was really surprised, "I came this time uninvited."
Dong Xuebin said, "It was an oversight in our work. We originally thought we couldn't invite you. Who knew you would come? If we had known, we would have definitely sent you an invitation."
Director Dong laughed heartily, instantly finding this County Party Secretary extremely interesting.
In the following time, Dong Xuebin helped the people from the County Government to greet the investors. Several planes landed, and the investors arrived one after another. With dozens of people coming over, the people from the Investment Bureau were already dizzy, making mistakes frequently, but whenever this happened, Dong Xuebin would stand up and call out the name of every investor. Dozens of people from all over the country, Dong Xuebin actually knew them all!
Zhang Dongfang and the people from the Investment Bureau watched in their eyes, and they all stared wide-eyed for a moment.
Seriously? Memorizing the information by rote is one thing, maybe your memory is really extraordinary, but... people who weren't invited, people whose names weren't even on the information, you can actually recognize them?
Holy crap!
Your work ability is too damn strong, isn't it!? (To be continued)
