95: Unexpected visitor
On the morning of the next day, after detailed consultations, the contents of the contract were finalized.
Both parties officially signed the contract, and Chen Yuqing promised that the first installment of investment funds would be wired to Heping Town's account within three days.
She aimed to start development and construction in the shortest time possible.
Before ten o'clock, Chen Yuqing and her group drove away.
He and all the team members stood at the main gate, watching the car carrying Chen Yuqing and her group drive off. Just as he was about to look away and turn back to celebrate, a coaster minibus drove over from a distance.
Such vehicles were rare; there wasn't even one in all of Yushu County. Yet, one had appeared here, causing everyone to stop in curiosity and continue watching the vehicle.
The coaster approached, and amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, it stopped not far from them.
The automatic door opened, and a figure familiar to Lin Zifeng and Jiang Yufei stepped off the vehicle first.
This person was none other than Wang Zhenfa, the aquatic products business owner who had been handing out brochures, whom he and Jiang Yufei had pursued a few days ago.
Seeing this person, Lin Zifeng felt a surge of joy in his heart and couldn't help but think, "I thought he only agreed to come to Heping Town to appease me!"
Unexpectedly, the man was a person of his word; he had come quietly without even making a phone call beforehand.
A happy Lin Zifeng stepped forward quickly and tightly shook Wang Zhenfa's hand.
"President Wang, why didn't you call me in advance? Please forgive me for failing to welcome you properly."
"I didn't notify Secretary Lin in advance because I'm not used to the hassle of being welcomed and seen off, and I was also afraid of disrupting Secretary Lin's work.
Come, Secretary Lin, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Zhao, Zhao Dezhi, who is in the hotel business.
This is Mr. Li, Li Lin, who is in the packaging business, and this is Mr. Zheng, Zheng Yang, who is in the transportation business.
This is Mr. Zhang, Zhang Hua, who is in the electric vehicle business. They are all my friends. At my suggestion, they came to Heping Town together, wanting to meet a young and promising Secretary like you.
Gentlemen, this is the Lin Zifeng I mentioned to you, the Party Secretary of Heping Town, Secretary Lin.
How is it? Is he just as young, promising, and talented as I described?"
Hearing Wang Zhenfa's introduction, Lin Zifeng quickly stepped forward, enthusiastically shaking hands with everyone one by one. "I welcome all of you.
On behalf of the Heping Town Party Committee, the Town Government, and the more than thirty thousand people of Heping Town, I warmly welcome you all to our Heping Town."
The few business owners who came with Wang Zhenfa were all experts in socializing. After some polite exchanges, Lin Zifeng introduced the other team members to them one by one.
While Lin Zifeng and Wang Zhenfa were exchanging pleasantries, Wei Ting and the others were stunned.
Except for Jiang Yufei and Cao Shuang, none of them expected that everyone on the minibus had come specifically to Heping Town to find Lin Zifeng, and that they were all business owners.
From their brief words just now, it was clear that besides sightseeing, these business owners were also taking the opportunity to conduct field inspections.
If there were truly suitable investment projects, it was not impossible for them to invest in Heping Town.
These five business owners were equivalent to five Investors! How could they not be pleasantly surprised and excited that they had arrived so quietly?
They all thought to themselves that even if just one of the five decided to invest, it would be a huge gain for Heping Town.
Even Zhang Zhenhua, who had always had other thoughts, had to admire Lin Zifeng's social skills.
Zhang Zhenhua thought to himself that Lin Zifeng had gone to an investment promotion conference, not only bringing back an investment but also making such friends, bringing several business owners all at once.
This guy having ability is one thing, but his luck is truly good! It seems the future development of Heping Town is about to enter the fast lane.
He should stop focusing solely on getting promoted and leaving Heping Town.
In the future, Heping Town would definitely become a place that Cadres from the whole county would fight to come to for gilding their resumes.
He should just be steady, work well under Lin Zifeng, and put aside other thoughts. As long as he did his job dutifully, if they were eating meat, wouldn't they let him have a sip of the broth?
He wasn't going anywhere; Heping Town could change his destiny. Even if someone offered him a Town Mayor position to trade, he wouldn't do it.
The crowd waited until Lin Zifeng introduced them before they reacted, shaking hands with the guests and greeting them warmly.
After greeting everyone, Zhang Zhenhua walked to the side and quickly gave instructions to Hu Yulin, telling him to take some people and hurry to make preparations.
Lin Zifeng saw Zhang Zhenhua's change, smiled, and felt even more relaxed.
Zhang Zhenhua had always been a variable in his mind; seeing his expression and actions just now, he had roughly guessed the man's thoughts, which was something he welcomed.
In this way, all the team members of Heping Town would be united.
After the pleasantries, everyone walked toward the compound together.
Arriving in the conference room, Lin Zifeng led his team members and engaged in a very friendly exchange with the guests.
As the person who had worked in Heping Town the longest, Zhang Zhenhua changed his usual silence and very proactively told the business owners about some of the anecdotes and local customs of Heping Town.
He also cleverly combined some local legends with the unique natural scenery, piquing the guests' interest.
Time quickly arrived at noon. Hu Yulin came up to Lin Zifeng and whispered a few words. Lin Zifeng nodded slightly, and Hu Yulin quickly retreated.
Only then did he say with a smile, "Distinguished friends, it is time for lunch. This noon, let us have you all test the combat effectiveness of our team!"
Wang Zhenfa laughed heartily. After laughing, he said, "Secretary Lin, friends, since arriving in Heping Town, we have felt everyone's abundant enthusiasm.
I would also like to enjoy wine and conversation with you all, but my friends and I are more interested in what this Secretary Zhang has been telling us.
Secretary Lin, what do you think about this: let's replace wine with tea at noon, and in the afternoon, we will go and see the places you all introduced. In the evening, how about we have a proper discussion?"
Lin Zifeng certainly wouldn't refuse; he was hoping for such a request from the other party!
It was just that, sitting in his current position, he had to make that suggestion when facing distinguished guests.
Just like that, the group chatted and laughed as they walked out of the conference room, heading toward the local restaurant.
This local flavor restaurant in the town had become their designated place for entertaining guests, and after these past few days, they had gained some experience in hosting.
After lunch, Lin Zifeng specifically asked Zhang Zhenhua to accompany them.
Zhang Zhenhua was overjoyed, knowing that his young Secretary had seen his change and fully accepted him, so he worked even harder.
Besides him and Zhang Zhenhua, Cao Shuang, Chen Shuangjie, and Jia Chunsheng also accompanied the group.
Five people matched five people. Because the guests were all men, he did not ask any female Comrades to accompany them.
