Chapter 260: Special Significance! A Nearly Extinct Reward!
Chapter 260: Special Significance! A Nearly Extinct Reward!
Ruan Xiao spoke at length on the stage before finally stepping down.
Liu Xian then took the stage and said, "What Mr. Ruan has said has truly resonated with me, so we, in You City, will spare no effort to support this project and ensure its swift implementation."
"Over the past few days, our county has received many investment applications, and we have carefully reviewed each of them."
"We have selected the top 10 investors from among them, and Mr. Ruan has already given his guidance, confirming that these 10 investors are indeed the most suitable."
"We will now announce the names of the 9 investors, excluding Liyuan Farm."
At this moment, all the tycoons were filled with anticipation.
Liu Xian didn't waste any more time and began announcing the names.
First was the Hanguang Group, followed by the Guangshuo Group.
Both of these groups had connections with President Zhang, so they were naturally the first to be approved for investment.
Next, Liu Xian continued to read out the names.
If one paid attention, they would notice that most of these companies could provide some form of support to the project, rather than being chosen solely based on their wealth or company size.
Therefore, many tycoons, including the head of the Xingyun Group who was sitting next to Zhang Lin, sighed in disappointment.
They had not been selected and would have to pass by this super high-quality project.
Chen Shengfei was in a similar situation.
He arrived late, and the meeting was already underway when he entered.
He originally thought he would be selected.
After all, his company was involved in the soybean industry and had made some investments in You City, earning a favorable impression.
However, once he learned that the special strategic department would be supporting this project, he realized that his chances of participating were slim.
Thus, he wasn't particularly surprised by his rejection.
After all, compared to those who were selected, his company's strength was not as significant.
However, he still planned to get involved in the project in some way.
If he couldn't participate in the project's direct investment, he could invest in the related industries.
For example, his company was already involved in the soybean oil business, and he could invest in a factory in You City.
He had learned a lot of internal information from President Zhang.
This soybean technology could speed up the growth of soybeans, but the concept of "fast" was not clearly understood by most of the tycoons.
However, he knew from President Zhang that this technology could allow soybeans to mature within a month.
So, if he started building a factory now, it would be ready by the time the soybeans were mature, allowing him to source materials locally.
Many other tycoons had similar ideas and were already sending messages on their phones.
Clearly, another round of investment competition was about to begin.
However, none of this had any bearing on Liyuan Farm.
After announcing the selected investors, Liu Xian continued, "The selected investors will attend an internal meeting tomorrow to discuss the specific investment details. If you have any suggestions, you can bring them up after the cooperative is officially established."
With that, the investment meeting came to an end.
The process was quite simple, and most tycoons were merely along for the ride.
If Mr. Ruan hadn't suddenly brought his team down, the meeting could have been even simpler. The county would have only notified the selected investors, and the other tycoons wouldn't have been invited, at least not until the subsequent investment opportunities in soybean-related industries.
This grand display was purely for show.
After all, with Mr. Ruan's presence, even President Zhang wouldn't have come otherwise.
But no one could say anything about it.
For the tycoons, this was also an opportunity to gather information.
After all, they could now know who the investors in the project were.
If they planned to invest in soybean-related industries in You City, building a good relationship with these investors would be beneficial.
Moreover, interacting with other tycoons was also a way to expand their networks.
As the meeting ended, some tycoons began to leave.
Zhang Lin stood up, ready to leave with Ma Jun, but Liu Xian and Mr. Ruan approached them.
"President Zhang, this is Mr. Ruan who has come from above. He wants to thank you in person."
Liu Xian immediately explained his purpose upon meeting Zhang Lin. Zhang Lin, upon hearing this, immediately greeted Mr. Ruan, "Greetings, Mr. Ruan."
No matter the situation, being a bit more enthusiastic and courteous is always the right approach.
"President Zhang, you are indeed a young talent," Ruan Xiao also shook hands with Zhang Lin. "I truly appreciate the contributions you have made this time."
Naturally, Zhang Lin responded with polite words, "Mr. Ruan, this is all within my duty. I believe keeping this technology under wraps and developing it slowly is a waste. It's better to contribute more to the local community. Helping Mr. Ruan was just an added benefit."
"Such virtue is truly rare in a businessman like President Zhang," Ruan Xiao couldn't help but remark. "Nowadays, many people in business pursue profit and rarely think about the community, let alone remember the principle of our country's goal of the rich leading the poor to prosperity."
This was his sincere sentiment.
Regardless of whether the young man's words were just polite formalities, his actions matched his words.
Liu Xian had already taken out his phone and was filming their interaction.
Because this was of great significance.
It might become valuable historical reference material in the future.
This scene also drew the attention of the surrounding tycoons, who all wore envious expressions.
Don't underestimate this simple handshake; it carried significant meaning.
At least, after this handshake, many people would think twice before acting rashly against this young man.
They weren't talking about business, but about official matters.
Even at the provincial level, if someone wanted to cause trouble for this young man, they would have to consider the consequences.
After all, Mr. Ruan had just thanked and praised this young man. What would it mean if someone dared to act against him?
It was like a golden soft armor with thorns, making anyone who dared to reach out fear being pricked.
After thanking Zhang Lin, Ruan Xiao left directly. He had many things to attend to, and coming to You City was mainly to confirm the soybean project.
Now that the project was confirmed, he could return with peace of mind.
But before boarding the plane in Ming City, his secretary immediately reported to him, "Sir, Mister from the United States has been requesting a meeting, wanting to renegotiate the soybean import deal. They are willing to offer a discount on the procurement price."
"Tell them I'm not available!" Ruan Xiao said with a cold laugh.
He was tired of dealing with those people from the United States.
Really, buying their products, and they still complain and try to raise prices. Who gave them the nerve?
...
Liyuan Farm.
After Zhang Lin and Ma Jun returned to the farm, they went back to the research institute.
Zhu Chuanxiong and Gu Song came to visit him, joining him in the office to make tea and express their gratitude.
They could see that even the Xingyun Group wasn't selected, and the fact that their two companies were chosen to participate in the investment was solely due to the influence of their young master.
Soon, Old Zhu and Old Gu arrived, still in their bathrobes, clearly having just finished a soak at the mountain spring health center.
Zhu Chuanxiong and Gu Song couldn't help but remark when they saw their fathers:
"Ah, I finally understand why you two are unwilling to leave Young Master's place," Zhu Chuanxiong said with a sigh. "The mountain spring health center project is truly enjoyable, making you reluctant to leave."
Gu Song nodded, "If we could, we would hand over our groups to our sons and come here to enjoy life. Unfortunately, our sons aren't capable enough."
Old Zhu and Old Gu didn't pay much attention to their sons' remarks, instead focusing on making tea for themselves.
Zhang Lin smiled at this.
It's often said that wealthy families are filled with power struggles and disputes, even leading to conflicts between fathers and sons. But it seems that's not always the case.
Like Old Zhu and Old Gu, they were eager to retire early.
Zhu Chuanxiong and Gu Song, however, were quite frustrated by their fathers' attitudes.
It seems that everything isn't absolute and is also related to character and family values.
As Zhang Lin was thinking this, he was pleasantly surprised by the game notification that appeared in his mind.
Because the farm's developed area had reached 20,000 acres, the game system had given him a new reward.
This reward was truly nostalgic, something he used to enjoy when farming back home, but which seemed to have become nearly extinct.
