Such a shocking comeback surprised the reporters present. Mayor Yang had the absolute upper hand just now, so why was it reversed?
No wonder Xie Kun actually said it was unscientific, but as soon as he said it, he regretted it. After all, this was not the Jiujiang Group. He could say whatever he wanted. Saying it was unscientific was a clear way of questioning the votes of the committee members and the reform office. , if Xie Chang hadn't winked at him, he would probably still be standing there in a daze.
After he sat down, he was still in a bad mood, and the questioning expression on his face was almost undisguised. The reporters also wanted to know why the committee members were fine at first, but then changed their minds. Some people speculated that there might be something wrong with their materials. Question, some people speculated that Canglong might have played some trick.
Some people even think that this Oriental International may have a political background, and may be supported by the Reform Office, but no matter what, questioning is questioning, and they will never ask questions stupidly. This is a default rule. Unless the Reform Office wants to disclose it, after all, there are many commercial secrets involved.
The No. 1 and No. 2 figures in the Provincial Party Committee did not speak, but their expressions told everyone that they were obviously surprised, but they did not question it. Instead, they understood the result very well.
"The Reform Office is a newly established department, and everything is open and fair. I, Mr. Xu, guarantee with my reputation that the fairness of this vote was determined by the committee members' assessment of the strength of the two parties. Unless Secretary Yu is here You are willing to disclose the reason, otherwise even we cannot reveal that Oriental International has a second investor." Director Xu smiled.
After hearing this, the reporters roughly understood that although Director Xu said it was inconvenient to disclose, he told everyone clearly that in addition to Oriental International's investment, there was another big crocodile that joined the investment in Dongning, but Director Xu I stopped right there and gave an answer that everyone was dissatisfied with but also helpless.
"As the heir to the Mitsui Foundation, I am very disappointed with this vote. I didn't expect that our Mitsui Foundation was full of expectations for China, but in the end we ended up with such a result," Inoue stood up and sighed. It was clear in that way. I doubt there is something behind this.
But Inoue is not an idiot. He will not make a fuss in such an occasion. Even if he is the heir of the Mitsui Foundation, he must follow the rules.
"However." Inoue stood up and turned around. Everyone thought he was leaving, but unexpectedly he said, "Since China doesn't welcome us, then we should withdraw our capital."
Hearing this, the committee members and reporters were in an uproar. It was obvious that the Mitsui Consortium would not invest a dime in Dongning in the future, and what it invested would be taken back.
After saying that, he led everyone to leave. Of course they would not participate in the following cocktail party. This was not their celebration banquet.
But at this moment, Director Xu suddenly said: "Mr. Inoue, if Mitsui Mining is willing, you can discuss this matter with Secretary Yu, and it is not a bad idea to cooperate with Oriental International. Of course, this needs to be discussed by both of you to reach a consensus. win."
Inoue was stunned. He glanced at Soryu and found that he still had his legs crossed and had no intention of paying attention to him. So he was about to leave, but Fujii Kazuki said something in his ear, so Inoue took him with him. Then everyone walked towards Secretary Yu and Cang Long.
After some polite greetings, he got to the point: "President Cang, we at Mitsui Mining and the Mitsui Consortium behind it are willing to cooperate with you sincerely. I don't know what President Cang wants."
The meaning of his words is very simple. The Mitsui Consortium is very powerful. If Soryu cooperates with them, it can avoid a lot of risks and even achieve an equal share of benefits.
But Canglong didn't care, and instead said rudely: "You are the only ones with money in this world, so why should I cooperate with you?"
The words made everyone present heard that something was wrong, but they didn't say anything. At this moment, the No. 2 figure of the provincial party committee suddenly came over and said: "Xiao Yu, it's all investment. I think it can be discussed. Let's fight for it." After all the fighting, it’s not for the sake of Dongning in the end. It would be most beneficial to Dongning’s development if several aspects could come together and cooperate.”
Secretary Yu looked embarrassed, because the decision-making power was not in her hands, so the second-in-command looked at Canglong and said with a smile: "Young man is young and promising, but you can't act on impulse. Today's world is complementary and mutually supportive. We should Let go of your prejudices and achieve win-win results."
"Yes, President Cang, if we are allowed to participate in the cooperation, we are willing to share the general benefits with you equally." Inoue said with a smile.
But the expressions of Xie Chang and others changed. If they took half of the benefits and shared them equally, they would get even less. But now this is the best way. There is no other way. Canglong has completely taken the initiative. Well, as for Mayor Yang, he is eager for this. As long as the two sides can reach an agreement, then he, the mayor, will still have a chance. Although the situation in Dongning will remain the same as usual in the future, it is better than being removed from the black hat. powerful.
When the voting results came out, his face turned pale. Now that there is such an opportunity for relaxation, of course he is willing to support it.
"If we have different ways, we should not conspire against each other." Cang Long's tone was firm and decisive.
This caused everyone's expressions to change, especially the provincial No. 2 figure. Inoue's expression was even more livid. If he hadn't been in front of so many people, he would probably have lost his smile a long time ago.
"We can't do anything forever, President Ao," Kazuki Fujii said suddenly.
"Yes, Teacher Cang, we are all businessmen, and all we care about is profit, since" even Chairman Wei started to say nice things.
"Since everyone has said so, well, I will give you a chance." Canglong suddenly changed the subject and smiled.
When the others heard this, they also breathed a sigh of relief. Although Canglong's tone was still so rude, as if it was a charity, now they still want it even if it is a charity.
"Menglong Group and Wansheng Group can participate in our Oriental International cooperation, but" Canglong looked at Inoue Renren and Xie Chang and his son, and said with a smile, "As for other groups, they can go wherever they fall in love. That's still the same sentence. Different road non-phase plan."
When he said this, Canglong glanced at all the important people present, his eyes showed no fear, and showed firmness, so everyone's expressions were very ugly, Inoue even put away his smile, and said coldly: "I'll just If you don’t believe that your family can swallow such a big cake, don’t be overwhelmed.”
At this point, Inoue came close to his ear and whispered: "You Chinese have a saying, don't eat when toasting, you will have to drink as a penalty. Since you have to drink as a penalty, don't regret it. Sooner or later you will come." Please, unless you kneel in front of me, otherwise." After saying that, Inoue turned around and left with others, and no one stopped him. Everyone present continued to talk, and there was a possibility of a fight. The best The solution is for one party to leave.
But after hearing this, Canglong's face turned cold. He didn't intend to provoke Inoue. After all, it was all about interests, so there was no need to be so cruel.
"Inoue Kazuo should really want to know who is supporting me behind the scenes." Canglong suddenly said loudly. This sentence not only attracted the attention of Inoue Kaozu, but also attracted the eyes of those who didn't know yet.
Director Xu looked at Canglong and wondered what he was trying to do. After all, he had already won, so why continue to cause trouble like this.
"Are you going to tell me?" Inoue turned around and said, "Apart from Longteng International, who else has such huge financial resources to support you."
At this point, Inoue's tone was full of dissatisfaction with this vote, and everyone present suddenly understood why things had such a big change.
"Haha, haven't you guys always thought that you were very rich? I'll let you lose and be convinced." Canglong looked like I'm going to piss you off and said, "Let's invite a CEO from Dubai Petroleum Company. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the United Arab Emirates, our international friend Prince Hamulat."
Hearing this, the faces of everyone present changed. Especially when the Dubai Petroleum Company was mentioned, some committee members swallowed their saliva. Although they saw this item in the agreement submitted by Canglong, they still couldn't believe it. But when Prince Hamlet walked out of the backstage wearing a long robe, whether he knew it or not, his expression changed.
Canglong walked over and held Prince Hamlet's hand. He saw a bit of dissatisfaction in the prince's expression, but he still had a smile on his face.
"Prince Hamlet owns 49% of the shares of Oriental International Group. Although His Royal Highness is not the CEO, he is the largest shareholder besides me. I think this is not something that should be concealed. After all, we are legitimate Investment." Soryu said and looked at Inoue.
At this moment, Inoue's face was ashen, and if you looked carefully, you would find that his body was shaking, but he still walked over.
Because the Mitsui Consortium is not willing to offend this prince from the Middle East. After all, they control oil, and Japan's oil consumption ranks among the top ten in the world. Naturally, there are many cooperations with the prince, even if he is now cooperating with Soryu partner, but in a certain respect he is also a partner of the Mitsui Foundation.
"If we had known that His Highness the Prince was interested in Dongning, our Mitsui Consortium would definitely have given us our full support." The smile on Inoue's face was forced out, trying not to look at Soryu's arrogant expression.
As for Xie Chang and his son, they were stunned the moment Hamlet came out, and they have not come back to their senses until now. Compared with this prince, their Jiujiang Group is the best among the best. Xie Kun immediately felt that he The phrase used to scold Cang Long became a description of himself, as if he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Hamlet wanted to say something, I was asked by Canglong to make fun of him, but the etiquette training told him not to say such substandard words on such occasions, but he had to show that he was on Canglong's side. , at least to complete his mission of making soy sauce. Although he knew very well that a firm stance was very inappropriate in terms of national interests, but in order to maintain the weak friendship with Canglong, he thought for a long time and felt that he should do this.
So, he put his hand on Cang Long's shoulder and said: "We at Dubai Petroleum Company are looking forward to this cooperation and will fully hand over the funds to Oriental International for operation. I am even more optimistic about Mr. Cang's future because we are brothers."
