"Mr. Jiang, if you spend so much on liquor, will it put pressure on your investment funds?" Manager Zhao asked tentatively.

Jiang Hao naturally caught the implication in his words. Smiling, he said, "My investments on the mainland exceed one billion. This bottled water plant is only one of them. I can easily come up with a few hundred million. Buying some liquor is simply because I like it and enjoy looking at it."

The smile on Director Zhao's face deepened. "Mr. Jiang, please wait here for a moment. I'll call our director and help coordinate things for you."

"Oh, then sorry for the trouble, Director Zhao," Jiang Hao said politely.

"No trouble, no trouble at all."

Director Zhao went to make a call to his own director. After hearing the report, the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau kept clicking his tongue. "What a filthy rich tycoon. He's really loaded. We have to keep this investment. He spends ten million Hong Kong Dollars just buying liquor. If this investment falls through, it can only mean we haven't done well enough. I'll call the mayor right away."

The director of the Investment Promotion Bureau called his superior, and the mayor contacted the distillery to pull some strings and coordinate matters. More than half an hour later, Manager Cao arrived with his superior, Manager Cai from the sales department. Manager Cai said with a smile, "Following the factory director's instructions, we have specially set aside a batch of liquor for Mr. Jiang. You can settle directly in Hong Kong Dollars domestically. Would that be acceptable?"

Jiang Hao nodded with a smile. "Of course."

"For this batch of liquor, Mr. Jiang, we can issue export clearance certificates. You'll be able to take it to Hong Kong without any problem then," Manager Cai
