As soon as the words "investment promotion" were heard, Secretary Yang immediately leaped to his feet, completely shedding his previous listless demeanor.
*You were just complaining about a terrible headache a moment ago, weren't you?*
Lin Chunfeng, standing beside him, watched the suddenly energetic Secretary Yang with a speechless expression, as if the one who had been moaning about a headache was someone else entirely.
*Talk about changing faces on a whim. And then there's Wang Yu, who remains as calm and collected as if nothing had happened.*
*Indeed, I am still too naive. Compared to these two thick-skinned, black-hearted foxes, one old and one young, I still have a long way to go.*
Lin Chunfeng stood there speechless, as did the representatives from the Metallurgical General Plant and the Sanjing Conglomerate.
Especially Park Shu Sheng, the leader, who instinctively felt a very bad premonition.
*Why would companies from Sam Country come here for cooperation and investment promotion?*
*Those guys have their eyes on top of their heads, wishing everyone would grovel at their feet. How could they possibly lower their status to proactively seek cooperation for investment promotion?*
*And even if they were to come seeking cooperation, they would undoubtedly only approach places with developed economies and relatively strong…*
*Or, to put it more realistically, places with greater utilization value. Why would they come to a small place like Jiangyang County?*
*After all, our Sanjing Conglomerate spent a great deal of time on research and discussion before finding this low-profile, understated place to develop. Even then, we had the Metallurgical General Plant as a guide.*
*But now, Sam Country has arrived?*
*No, it's impossible for such a coincidence. They must be bluffing me!*
Park Shu Sheng was convinced. After a moment's thought, he revealed a look of understanding.
*They see our Sanjing Conglomerate dominating the market but can do nothing about it, so they've resorted to this tactic. They claim Sam Country companies are coming for cooperation to highlight their importance, hoping to make us back down and be more restrained.*
*Yes, it must be like this!*
*You fools, don't you know what kind of people those from Sam Country are?*
*If you had said Xizhou, we might have believed you a little more!*
*Our dignified Sanjing Conglomerate is not easily intimidated!*
As Park Shu Sheng was thinking this to himself, he saw the government staff member speaking again, reporting:
"However, those big companies from Sam Country have all stated that cooperation for investment promotion must be a prerequisite for cooperation with our Director Wang Yu's automobile factory!"
*The automobile factory again? Sam Country is also targeting him, Wang Yu?*
Secretary Yang and Lin Chunfeng suddenly began to believe what Wang Yu had said earlier. Perhaps he could really provide so many job opportunities?
"Keep talking, keep making it up!"
Park Shu Sheng sneered.
If he had any doubts before, he was now completely certain.
*How could Sam Country companies specifically seek cooperation with you, Wang Yu? And in exchange for investment promotion? Don't you know your own worth?*
*They're probably putting on a show for us!*
"I wonder if we, the Sanjing Conglomerate, can also meet these visitors from Sam Country? Perhaps they have cooperative relationships with us, and I can put in a good word for everyone."
Park Shu Sheng spoke directly. He intended to unmask their deception without any pretense.
*As for maintaining appearances and leaving some room for maneuver, our Sanjing Conglomerate doesn't need to consider such things!*
*Crushing the opposition and dominating the market is our consistent principle!*
"This..." Facing Park Shu Sheng's words, Secretary Yang hesitated. However, Wang Yu spoke first.
"Of course, there's no problem. Mr. Park is welcome to observe from the side."
Wang Yu smiled placidly, his thoughts inscrutable to anyone.
Seeing that Wang Yu had agreed, Secretary Yang said no more. Wang Yu was now their last hope, and they could only rely on his performance.
Before long, a group of people arrived.
The group, with their appearances and attire, looked like international visitors. They didn't resemble the people from Dong Can Country or their own nation, causing the Sanjing Conglomerate members to mutter inwardly.
*It really seems to be the case!*
"Hahaha, Wang Yu, you've gone to great lengths! To elevate yourself, you've put on quite a show! You've even hired so many foreign actors."
Fang Zhongtian spoke up, his sharp voice laced with mockery.
"I don't know where you found these foreigners to impersonate people from Sam Country. Do you really think we're blind?"
Fang Zhongtian said triumphantly, feeling quite pleased with himself.
*Exposing Wang Yu's scheme like this will surely earn me praise. My boss, Xu Guangping, and his boss, Park Shu Sheng, will definitely be pleased! It really pays to have sharp eyes.*
Fang Zhongtian was talking to himself, but no one paid him any mind.
All eyes were focused on these people from Sam Country.
They were all impeccably dressed, their attire well-made. Even a single piece of clothing from any one of them would be worth a considerable amount, seemingly beyond the means of ordinary actors.
More importantly, each of them exuded an overwhelming sense of pride and superiority.
If others believed themselves to be second only to heaven, these people acted as if even heaven should step aside, as if they had "The World's Number One" engraved on their foreheads, an expression that was highly irritating to behold.
*This is not something ordinary hired actors could portray!*
"Look, the hired actors Wang Yu found are even glaring at him, showing they have no respect for him. This proves that..."
*Slap!*
A sharp sound, and a resounding slap landed across Fang Zhongtian's face.
He was instantly dazed and disoriented.
"Ah? Mr. Park, why did you hit me?"
Cupping his head, Fang Zhongtian looked bewildered at the person who had struck him – it was his boss's boss, Park Shu Sheng.
"Shut up!"
Gritting out the words, Park Shu Sheng swung his hand again, delivering another slap to Fang Zhongtian.
This time, with two slaps, one from the front and one from the back, Fang Zhongtian was thoroughly punished. Everyone else was also confused, wondering what game these seemingly impressive Dong Can Country fellows were playing.
Then, under everyone's puzzled gaze, Park Shu Sheng meticulously adjusted his clothing and walked directly towards the group from Sam Country.
He bowed respectfully and politely, then spoke to the person at the front.
"President Jet, what brings you here?"
