"This is the mainland. It's different from what we imagined. It's not poor, but there are more bicycles." Jian Huizhen said in surprise as she looked at the flow of bicycles coming and going.

"There are many poorer places in Xiangjiang than this."

"Poverty is relative. Besides, this is a provincial capital, not comparable to other cities." Lei Weidong shrugged, looked at Li Jie aside and continued:

"Azhen, have you called the investment promotion office? Should we come directly to your door or wait for someone to pick you up?"

After eliminating the robbers on the thirteenth floor, the operation at Cointreau Hotel comes to an end.

There were only six robbers left, and they no longer had the ability to set up obstacles on the second to twelfth floors. Not to mention people, they didn't even have explosives. They were all concentrated behind the bomb wall in the lobby on the first floor, fighting stubbornly, hoping to last until dawn.

It's a pity that they don't know who their opponent is. How could Lei Weidong give them a chance to resist and directly greet them with grenades and machine guns.

It was very easy to join up with the large army outside.

They destroyed the doctor's gang without hurting anyone and captured the doctor's lover Feifei alive. While everyone was happy that the operation ended successfully, the trouble had just begun.

The first is loss.

Although there were no casualties, there was serious property damage.

Not only was the thirteenth floor of the Cointreau Hotel burned down, but there was no way to escape from the fourteenth to thirty-fourth floors. Especially the floors where bombs were buried were as messy as if they had been blown by a typhoon.

That means the main building is fine, otherwise it would have to be rebuilt.

Because the loss was measured in hundreds of millions, the next day, Salena asked the legal department to find the insurance company and demand compensation according to the contract.

There is also the matter of decoration materials.

Through the fire on the 13th floor, it was detected that the decoration materials used by the construction company were substandard, and Salina found trouble with the construction company, Golden Gate Construction.

Gammon Construction is not a small company. It is a subsidiary of Jardine Matheson & Co., whose origins can be traced back to the head office founded by John Gammon in India in 1919.

His main business is construction and civil engineering in Hong Kong. He is the general contractor of many construction projects in Hong Kong and the Asia-Pacific region. He is commonly known as the big contractor. He even built the famous Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong.

Faced with Salina's accusations, Kinmen Construction denied it and insisted that it had nothing to do with it. It was the general contractor and the decoration materials were the fault of the subcontractors. It should seek compensation from them and it had nothing to do with it.

Salina was not surprised by Kinmen Construction's denial. Capitalists are all like Pixiu, they can only get in but cannot get out, so they formed a team of lawyers headed by Attorney Lin to litigate with them.

Be sure to bite off a piece of Kinmen architecture.

Kinmen Construction was not very strong, but its parent company, Jardine Matheson, was the dominant company in Hong Kong. Facing the aggressive Salina, they wanted to respond in other ways.

It just so happens that Lei Weidong has a lot of bad things about him, not to mention the fact that he has many girlfriends, and there are also many unreasonable things about his actions at the Cointreau Hotel.

For example, the weapons used were too powerful, and even the gangsters' flamethrowers were used. The fire on the thirteenth floor was caused by the misuse of flamethrowers.

There is also the matter of Li Jie.

The reason why Li Jie dared to kill the doctor in public was because of Lei Weidong's endorsement. Whether the endorsement was serious or not depends on who said it.

In short, Lei Weidong was targeted by Jardine Matheson, and one of the purposes of coming to the mainland was to avoid the limelight.

Of course, just avoid it. Yihe and Yangxing didn't even think about killing Lei Weidong. If Lei Weidong hadn't had a huge appetite and bitten Yihe and Yangxing, he wouldn't have taken such a trick.

The final result was that Lei Weidong and Jardine Matheson each took a step back, Jardine Matheson suddenly offered to pay millions, Lei Weidong was reinstated and received a medal, and then both parties went to find trouble with the material dealer.

As for Li Jie, when the court sentenced him to probation, he said that the matter was over.

"We can just wait here. Check the time. People from China Merchants Bureau should be here." Jian Huizhen said after looking at the watch on her wrist.

Lei Weidong's second purpose is investment.

When I borrowed Huo Daheng's club some time ago, I mentioned the matter of investment, but afterwards there were too many things, and neither Lei Weidong nor Salina could spare the time, so it was delayed.

Now that I have time, I naturally want to come over. I can forget about everything, but I must not forget about investing in the mainland.

The Mainland is not a cow that is going down in the sunset, but a giant dragon that is about to take off. If we don't embrace it now, why don't we wait until the situation becomes clearer?

The icing on the cake can never be as good as providing help when it is timely.

As for claiming kingship and hegemony in Xiangjiang and turning it into his own territory.

Lei Weidong can only say that his brain is rusty.

Xiangjiang is just a city. Water and electricity depend on the support of the mainland, and all the cattle and cows can run away, let alone individuals.

"It's not good to just stand there, Xiao Yang, who are you going to buy a few bottles of?" Lei Weidong said.

Shalina had too many things to do and couldn't leave, Jin Qing couldn't leave because of the car dealer, and Yun Piaopiao couldn't leave because of the movie company. Gu

Even if Bai Kailun looks at CID, he can't leave.

Only Jian Huizhen had nothing to do and accompanied Lei Weidong to the mainland.

As for Xiao Yang, she is Yang Caini.

She was the unluckiest person in the Cointreau Hotel robbery.

Because she was saved by a heroic doctor and had a close relationship with Feifei, Yang Caini naturally became the target of police suspicion. If Lei Weidong had not acted as her guarantee, she would still be in the police station and be interrogated endlessly.

As misfortunes never come singly, Yang Caini's boyfriend, the handsome and skilled policeman in the movie, was killed. The murderer was Sangbang, and the order was given by a doctor.

As for the reason, Feifei explained during the interrogation that it was because the doctor fell in love with Yang Caini and did not want her and her boyfriend to have the opportunity to kiss me, so she had him killed.

Yang Caini got a reputation as a troublemaker for no reason.

I couldn't stay in the hotel or at home, so I had no choice but to accept Lei Weidong's invitation to come to the mainland. As for whether it was a sheep entering a tiger's mouth and being sent to my door, I couldn't care so much.

"Someone is coming, and the target is us, a man and a woman, the female seems to be." Li Jie suddenly said.

"You are Mr. Lei Weidong mentioned by Mr. Huo. I am Yang Jianhua from the Provincial Department. This is Section Chief Wang from the Investment Promotion Bureau. The two of us will be responsible for hosting your trip to the mainland."

Yang Jianhua came to Lei Weidong and introduced himself generously.

"Li Jie, long time no see. I heard that you went to Xiangjiang to seek revenge from a doctor. Congratulations on getting your revenge." Yang Jianhua and Li Jie obviously knew each other.

"Yang Jianhua, why are you in the provincial department instead of being transferred?" Looking into Yang Jianhua's eyes, Li Jie knew that he had made a mistake. The department that Yang Jianhua worked in was one that could only see but not speak, and could not sue parents or children.

Work.

"This is not the place for you guys to talk. Let's go to the hotel first." Seeing Li Jie's expression of embarrassment, Yang Jianhua took the initiative to change the topic.

"Mr. Lei seems to be very interested in the mainland." After seeing Lei Weidong getting into the car, he kept looking out the window. Yang Jianhua, who was doing intelligence work, felt keenly that Lei Weidong had something on his mind, so he asked.

"yes!"

Lei Weidong nodded, "I didn't feel it when I was in Xiangjiang. Only after arriving in the mainland did I realize that this place is really big. The area of ​​the provincial capital alone is already larger than Xiangjiang.

With such a large territory and so many people, once it develops, it cannot be compared to a small place like Xiangjiang."

"So, Mr. Lei, he is very optimistic about the prospects of the mainland." Yang Jianhua was very interested in Lei Weidong.

This is not only because of Lei Weidong's identity, but also because of his tone of voice.

As the intelligence chief in charge of the Xiangjiang area, Yang Jianhua has met many businessmen from Xiangjiang.

Although these people are compatriots, when they go to the mainland, they are treated as superior to others, and their investment seems to be charity.

Unlike Lei Weidong, after just a few words of conversation, Yang Jianhua discovered that Lei Weidong saw that there was no discrimination common among Xiangjiang people in the mainland and that he was on an equal footing.

Also, Lei Weidong's Mandarin is extremely standard, even better than that of a mainlander like her. It feels like she was trained in a mainland school through nine years of formal education.

But Lei Weidong grew up in Xiangjiang and went to Eagle Country for a few years when he was a teenager. He had no time to learn standard Mandarin, which made Yang Jianhua full of curiosity about him.

"If I weren't optimistic about the mainland, I wouldn't come here to invest." Lei Weidong said with a smile.

"I don't know what Mr. Lei wants to invest in, whether it's a factory, a shopping mall or a hotel." Section Chief Wang from China Merchants Bureau asked.

When it comes to investment, Yang Jianhua is not responsible for it, but Section Chief Wang is responsible for it.

"The factory must be built, but what to build?" Lei Weidong motioned to Yang Caini to take out the prepared instant noodles and said, "I have several large chain supermarkets in Xiangjiang.

I wanted to make a one-stop operation of production and sales. Since I had never worked in a factory and had little experience, I thought of starting from a small place, making instant noodles first, and then making ham sausages and other items when it gets bigger and stronger.”

"I've seen this before. It's available in every supermarket in Xiangjiang. It's just that there are not many produced in the mainland. It's really popular." Looking at the instant noodles in his hand, Section Chief Wang nodded.

I was very happy.

The investment in an instant noodle factory is at least several hundred thousand, or even millions. As long as the funds are in place, my task for this month will be completed.

"In addition to factories, I also want to open a hotel, a five-star hotel." Lei Weidong continued, "I acquired a five-star hotel in Xiangjiang, and just when I wanted to show off my glory, there was a robbery.

Although there were no casualties, the equipment was severely damaged and it would take at least a year to reopen, which meant that employees had to take a year off, which caused huge waste.

I just want to go to the mainland and have a look. If a five-star hotel cannot be opened, then a four-star hotel will be opened. In short, the staff cannot be left idle with nothing to do."

"This matter is a bit big. I need to report it to the leader." When he heard that Lei Weidong wanted to invest in a hotel, or a five-star hotel, Section Chief Wang almost fainted with joy.

As expected of the client introduced by Mr. Huo, he is very wealthy and has invested at least tens of millions of dollars in a five-star hotel. If such a large investment can be kept in the provincial capital.
Chapter completed!
