Chapter 161: Delivering Charcoal in the Snow (1)

Early the next morning, when Chen Ping and Jiang Nan were still having breakfast, they received a call from President Ma, saying that they hoped to have a meal with them at noon and discuss the financing platform's capital injection.

Upon hearing this news, Jiang Nan suddenly panicked. After all, President Ma was the one who supported them most when they were attracting capital injections. In Jiang Nan's opinion, President Ma called to talk about this matter so early in the morning, obviously he was preparing to give up. If even he gave up capital injections, Jiang Nan would not dare to imagine what the result would be.

However, at this time Chen Ping still said to her optimistically: "Don't draw conclusions so early. Now he is just calling us to have a meal and talking about capital injection. How do you know that he will give up like everyone else? Maybe he is here to help in time?"

Jiang Nan reluctantly smiled and said, "I believe this will be the case."

Judging from Jiang Nan's expression, Chen Ping knew that Jiang Nan said this more to comfort herself. In fact, she still didn't believe that there would be a miracle. Although Chen Ping was sure, he couldn't find any convincing words when he was entangled in such various unfavorable factors.

Jiang Nan said to Chen Ping with some distress: "But Chen Ping, don't be too tired of yourself. Even if the project of this financing platform is really stranded in the end, you don't have the chance to rise again. There is really no need to hang yourself on this tree, and you will be exhausted. It's really not worth it!"

Jiang Nan's words made Chen Ping feel a little amused. He felt that this woman was sometimes so stupid, because Jiang Nan, you said before that you believed that this financing platform would have a chance to turn around, but now you said that you should not be too tired and that you have a chance to make a comeback. Don't you clearly believe in the development potential of this project?

However, as for what Jiang Nan said, it was really related to President Ma whom they were going to meet today. Last night, when Chen Ping returned to his room, he used his ability to perceive the future and looked at the future of President Ma whom he will meet today. Since this ability to perceive the future consumes his spirit and makes him very tired, and he will also increase the feeling of fatigue as the number of uses increases, although Chen Ping has been resting for a night, in Jiang Nan's opinion, he still seems to have not had a good sleep all night.

Of course, this fatigue is still very valuable, because Chen Ping discovered in the perceived future that President Ma was an extremely courageous businessman, and in the perceived future, he was also the first person to take the lead, inject capital into the financing platform and make the most money. It was because Chen Ping felt this that he was confident that President Ma was very likely to be here to provide timely assistance today.

It’s just that Chen Ping couldn’t explain this to Jiang Nan clearly, so Chen Ping had to say to Jiang Nan: “Jiang Nan, don’t worry, I’m a good person in my work.”

Jiang Nan obediently said to Chen Ping: "Chen Ping, you just need to believe that in this incident, you are not alone, you have me with you, so you must not put all the burden on your shoulders and hold it in your heart. No matter what you have, let me take it with you, okay?"

"Of course." Chen Ping said, and kissed Jiang Nan's forehead lightly.

Although Chen Ping was very sure of President Ma, for the sake of security, he still made sufficient preparations with Jiang Nan in the morning.

At noon, Chen Ping and Jiang Nan arrived at the hotel together. President Ma was already waiting in the private room. When he saw Chen Ping and Jiang Nan coming to greet him, it was obvious that he had no enthusiasm from the last time. Jiang Nan's heart sank, but Chen Ping still said hello to President Ma as if he was not aware of it, which made President Ma look up to Chen Ping.

Then several people sat around the dining table, politely toasted a few glasses of wine, and after expressing their enthusiasm and courtesy, President Ma finally entered the topic and said to Chen Ping: "Mayor Chen, I heard that there are some problems with the financing platform of Luzhuang City, right?"

Hearing President Ma’s question, Jiang Nan’s hands subconsciously shook, but Chen Ping quickly gently held Jiang Nan’s hand under the table, which calmed Jiang Nan’s heart. Chen Ping answered President Ma without changing his face and said, “Yes.”

"I heard that just the day before yesterday, Jiangnan Daily and Linjiang Daily published articles criticizing the financing platform. Then the day before yesterday and yesterday, the three chambers of commerce in Dongwu City and Linjiang successively revoked the infusion of financing platforms. Are these things real?" President Ma asked again.

Chen Ping still nodded and replied: "It's true."

"So can I understand this way that the project of this financing platform has been greatly disturbed in the province and is very likely to be stranded and cannot be launched normally?" President Ma continued to ask.

President Ma asked questions one by one, which made Jiang Nan unable to sit still anymore. However, just as she was about to explain something to President Ma, Chen Ping kept holding her hand and pinched her a little. Jiang Nan woke up suddenly. She remembered what Chen Ping said to her before coming and wanted to believe him and hand everything to him, so Jiang Nan suppressed the anxiety in her heart and then waited.

After stopping Jiang Nan, Chen Ping replied as usual: "Of course President Ma can understand this way."

President Ma raised his eyebrows unexpectedly and said, "Mayor Chen is surprisingly frank. I thought Mayor Chen would at least give some explanations for these issues."

"If I were to those who had no vision and had a small mind, of course I would have to explain it more. In fact, I have done these things a lot these days, but I always believe that for those big people with long-term vision and courage, too much explanation can only be an insult to them!" Chen Ping said.

President Ma smiled and said, "Mayor Chen's praise made me a little flattered, but one thing that made me curious is, isn't Mayor Chen afraid that I will leave if I turn around or directly make a request to withdraw the capital injection?"

"Actually, I'm very worried. Even for President Ma, I'm more worried than any other chamber of commerce," Chen Ping said. "Because other chambers of commerce are shaking, even if there is no such thing, they will change their minds sooner or later. But President Ma, you are different. I can see that President Ma is a firm supporter of the financing platform."

"It seems that Mayor Chen is still very confident in me!" said President Ma.

Chen Ping nodded and said, "Yes, but I am also very confident in my projects. Now many chambers of commerce have accumulated a large amount of funds. However, because there are very few domestic investment channels, these funds can only be placed in the bank. However, now Luzhuang has to set up a financing platform, which can not only help enterprises solve financial problems, but also enable the chamber of commerce to operate the money, and enjoy absolute security under the supervision of the government. I don't believe that such a win-win method of making money will be despised by President Ma."

After hearing Chen Ping's words, President Ma laughed and said, "Mayor Chen said it well. Such a win-win and safe method should have been dreamt of every chamber of commerce. Of course, I will not give up. Not only will I not give up, I think I also have to convince my board of directors to ask the chamber of commerce to increase the capital injection of the financing platform by another one billion!"

Chen Ping also smiled at this time: "Then I would thank President Ma so much. I believe that after the financing platform is formed in the future, President Ma's chamber of commerce will definitely be the core financing provider of the financing platform!"

"Then I thank Mayor Chen for his strong support!" After saying that, President Ma raised a thumbs up to Chen Ping and said, "It's impossible not to say that Mayor Chen, you are really good at negotiating. It would be a pity that Mayor Chen would not be a businessman. Otherwise, I would be able to witness a business empire named Chen!"

Chen Ping said modestly: "President Ma has been too rewarded. In terms of business vision, I am still not as good as President Ma. I am still an honest bureaucrat. I just want to serve the people. As long as I am dismissed from public office one day, President Ma can reward me with a job."

"Then I must arrange a boss for Mayor Chen to be the boss! How can a talent like Mayor Chen be buried?" said President Ma.

Chen Ping smiled and raised his glass and said, "But no matter what, on behalf of the Luzhuang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, I would like to thank President Ma for his strong support. I wish us a happy cooperation."

President Ma also raised his glass and said, "Happy cooperation!"
