"Comrade Sun is joking. Nothing of the sort. How could I dare say such a thing? You know the situation of our chamber of commerce, we are severely short of funds. If Comrade Zhang Liunian is willing to cooperate with us, all our members will warmly welcome him, how could we be unhappy."
Chairman Wen continued to display his shameless spirit.
Seeing that he refused to admit it, Comrade Sun coldly snorted and said, "If Comrade Zhang Liunian cannot get by in Pengcheng in the future, I will hold you accountable.
Furthermore, forget about your ninety million. Because he and Zhang Ya are jointly participating in the new railway station project, all his money will be invested in this project.
If you dare to ask him for money again, or set your sights on him, I will not let you off."
"What? Zhang Liunian is participating in your railway station project? How is that possible? Didn't you say you wanted to..." resolve the two chambers of commerce, and only then agree to let the third person join?
How did this Zhang Liunian get involved?
Chairman Wen's words were not finished, but everyone present understood his meaning.
That is, how did Zhang Liunian become involved in the new railway station project?
It couldn't be that he had pacified the two chambers of commerce, could it?
That's impossible, because they still exist.
"It seems you have heard about this matter. Then you should understand that our conditions will not change, unless the person who completes this condition is qualified to participate.
Comrade Zhang Liunian successfully joined because he completed the task."
Comrade Sun's words contained a lot of information: firstly, Zhang Liunian had indeed joined them in the project, and secondly, the downfall of the Hong Kong businessman was related to Zhang Liunian.
The member of the National Chamber of Commerce who had been speaking up immediately exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible, how could Zhang Liunian possibly accomplish this? How could he, by himself, bring down the Hong Kong businessman? This is absolutely impossible.
We also don't believe he could do this.
So, by what merit can he participate in the coveted railway station project?"
Chairman Wen was also shocked. The downfall of the Hong Kong businessman was done by Zhang Liunian?
How could that be? How could he, a small individual business owner, achieve this?
This is absolutely impossible...
"Why? Just because he can help us build a better Pengcheng, just because he can help us defeat the Hong Kong businessman. If you also have this ability, this opportunity will be yours.
It's a pity that none of you are as capable as Comrade Zhang Liunian. The good opportunity was sent to you, but you couldn't grasp it."
These words were full of sarcasm and also filled with Comrade Sun's dissatisfaction with the National Chamber of Commerce.
What right did they, who only caused trouble, have to belittle Comrade Zhang Liunian like this?
That Comrade Zhang Liunian was several times better than them.
"..." The members were instantly silent, not knowing what to say.
Seeing this, Chairman Wen stepped forward and said, "Comrade Sun, could there be a misunderstanding?
How could the collapse of Hong Kong be Zhang Liunian's doing?
Don't misunderstand me, it's not that I look down on him, but his personal conditions are indeed not as strong as ours.
He is just someone who has recently arrived in Pengcheng, with no people and no connections. How can he achieve this? You must not be deceived by him."
Chairman Wen also did not believe that the Hong Kong businessman was brought down by Zhang Liunian, and even suspected that Comrade Sun and the others had been deceived by Zhang Liunian.
"I think you are the one who is blind. Just because you cannot do something, it does not mean others cannot.
And you say we are deceived. I think you are the ignorant ones."
Comrade Sun felt he didn't want to talk to Chairman Wen anymore. Before he could speak again, he said, "Alright, don't get in our way here.
Comrade Zhang Liunian, we'll go inside and chat. Don't waste time with these blind people."
After saying this, he took the lead and walked into the restaurant.
"We're coming right away."
Zhang Liunian smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to sidestep Chairman Wen, a hand blocked his way.
Zhang Liunian looked at Chairman Wen's hand, stopped, and asked, "Chairman Wen, do you need anything else?"
"Are you really going to invest all of your ninety million in the railway station project?" Chairman Wen was still unwilling, as they were also short of money.
If Zhang Liunian really invested all his money in Comrade Sun's project, they would have to find new ways to attract investment.
Zhang Liunian raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you just hear? With such a good project, why keep the money? Wouldn't you agree to invest if it were you?"
"You can still..." Chairman Wen was unwilling, but before he could finish, Zhang Liunian interrupted him.
"This is my business, and it's not for you to dictate." After saying this, Zhang Liunian led a group of people into the private room number one.
After they left, Chairman Wen's face instantly turned frighteningly dark.
Seeing this, the members collectively dared not speak, all watching their chairman's anger. After a long while, Chairman Wen finally spoke and said, "Let's leave," and then led them out of the restaurant.
However, not long after, the member who had been speaking up couldn't help but say, "How can that Zhang Liunian participate in such a good project cooperation, and invest all his money? What about our car project?"
"..."
His words spoke the minds of the members of the National Chamber of Commerce.
If Zhang Liunian was gone with his ninety million, who would they find to get the second ninety million?
Looking around, there was no one else in Pengcheng who could do this. Now, they were in real trouble.
"Can't we also get a loan from the state? If nothing else works, let's try that," Chairman Wen said after thinking. Besides attracting investment from merchants, their only option was to borrow from the state.
"But we have offended quite a few people in power these past two years, they might not lend us the money," the speaking member continued.
"..."
These words really hit their sore spot.
And it was true.
They had only been busy fighting with the Hong Kong businessman for the past two years, and had indeed offended people from top to bottom. It would be difficult to get a loan through application.
"But we still have to try."
Chairman Wen knew it wouldn't be easy, but he didn't want to give up the opportunity easily.
Now that the Hong Kong businessman was gone, and they were the sole dominant force in Pengcheng, they could go all out with their projects. He wouldn't let anything stop their progress, be it money or people.
Zhang Liunian was unaware of what was happening here. At this moment, he had reached a complete cooperation with Comrade Sun and the others, and handed over the deposit slip for ninety million to Comrade Sun.
"This is your shareholding contract. After the railway station officially opens, we will distribute one year's dividends annually." Comrade Sun pushed the document belonging to Zhang Liunian over. Zhang Liunian received it excitedly.
This contract was worth hundreds of billions. With this stock alone, his family would have enough to eat and wear for several generations.
"Understood," Zhang Liunian said, taking it and putting it away carefully.
"Chen Jiayuan has been confirmed to have fled to Hong Kong. Be careful when you go there in the future," Comrade Sun said after the most important matter of the day was settled, and began to give instructions.
