Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

Li Ying concluded, "In short, you only have one statement to make when you meet Boss Zhao this time."

"We must participate in this negotiation meeting organized by the Provincial Party Committee; we absolutely cannot fall behind even a step."

"We're willing to pay any price to get an invitation to this conference!"

"You can discuss the specifics; this is my agreement on your behalf."

"As for whether it can be done, let's discuss it again when we get back!"

Chu Xiong asked with slight concern, "Big sister, there's no problem with the talks, but what if Hanergy Group uses its connections with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission to suppress us at the meeting?"

Li Ying had made preparations in advance: "Last year, I helped the Department of Culture and Tourism of Handong Province secure 12 billion yuan in cultural and tourism investment project contracts."

"At that time, Li Juan, the director of the Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, owed me a favor."

"After you get Mr. Zhao's approval, call her and say you want to ask her for a favor."

"Mr. Zhao has already paved the way for the negotiation meeting the day after tomorrow."

"We hope she can prepare a speech on the spot, with the theme of promoting 'collaborative development among enterprises,' so that she can speak up for us and emphasize that 'state-owned enterprises and private enterprises should be treated equally,' and that there should be no policy favoritism!"

Chu Xiong carefully noted down Li Ying's instructions and immediately dialed the phone number of Lin Maoxiong, the boss of Huitong Capital.

The call connected, and the man on the other end spoke in broken Mandarin, "How are you feeling, Mr. Chu? What brings you here today?"

Chu Xiong said politely, "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry to disturb your lunch break. I have a business deal I'd like to discuss with you."

The person on the other end of the phone looked serious. "Business? It's a very small business!"

"No wonder my left eyelid has been twitching all morning. It turns out that Mr. Chu, such an important person, has arrived. May I ask what business Mr. Chu intends to discuss?"

Chu Xiong turned on the speakerphone and got straight to the point: "It's like this, we need Huitong to issue a letter of intent for the He Group to increase its holdings by 5 million."

"Highlight our promising cooperation prospects with IF, and I need it first thing tomorrow morning!"

The person on the other end of the phone was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said, "I understand, President Chu is trying to promote Jianghe Group."

"I know that there is a trade fair in your Handong Province in a couple of days. It is organized by the Handong Provincial Party Committee and the Handong Provincial Department of Commerce."

"Apart from IF, a financial behemoth, the rest of the participants are all well-known companies from your Handong Province."

"It seems that President Chu is determined to win this cooperation!"

Chu Xiong was not surprised at all; these bigwigs in the financial world were all well-informed.

They are especially adept at sensing various policies and trends, faster than anyone else.

He had only just received word of the trade negotiation meeting to be held in Handong Province.

Unexpectedly, the other party had already noticed it first!

Chu Xiong said with a hint of sarcasm, "Boss Lin, you really have connections everywhere."

"This news is still internal and has not been officially announced to the public. It took me some effort to find out about it. I didn't expect that Boss Lin already knew about it."

Lin Maoxiong smiled and said, "This is what I do for a living. If I don't have good information, how can I invest?"

"However, to be fair, Jianghe Group is still the most capable."

"I heard that Jianghe Group is the number one private enterprise on this internal cooperation list."

After boasting for a while, Lin Maoxiong suddenly changed the subject, "However, President Chu, 5 million is no small sum."

"I know a little about Jianghe's current situation."

"The Jianghe Group has staked its entire fortune on this collaboration with IF."

“Once this letter of intent is posted, Huitong will have to bear the risks.”

"Although I am personally optimistic about Jianghe Group, I still have to give an account to the shareholders and directors."

"So, I hope Mr. Chu can understand my situation!"

Lin Maoxiong's tone clearly indicated that he was negotiating, and he knew that Jianghe Group desperately needed this momentum and public opinion.

I want to take this opportunity to take a big bite!

Li Ying sat to the side and gestured for him to hand her the phone.

After answering the phone, Li Ying got straight to the point, "Mr. Chu, how have you been?"

Lin Maoxiong changed his tone again, "Oh, Li Dong is also in Handong?"

Li Ying exchanged a few simple pleasantries and got straight to the point, "It's about that matter, Ah Xiong already mentioned it."

"I'll just say one thing: the greater the risk, the greater the reward!"

"Mr. Lin is a big businessman, he shouldn't be unaware of this principle."

"I would also like to remind Mr. Lin that you should not forget the fundraising difficulties your cross-border fund faced last year. Who used overseas channels to help you bring in three LPs?"

"If Huitong is willing to help us this time, we are willing to give up two percentage points of the profits from the intelligent logistics system at the end of the year."

A combination of soft and hard tactics, a two-pronged approach!

It neither offended the other party nor failed to give them a little something in return!

Sure enough, once the chips were thrown out, Lin Maoxiong's tone immediately softened, "Li Dong is still so straightforward!"

"Since Chairman Li has spoken, I can't refuse him this favor."

"I will have the company release the announcement at 9 a.m. sharp tomorrow morning. As for the electronic version, I will send it to you now!"

A short while later, my phone vibrated, and soon an email arrived.

Chu Xiong opened it and saw that it was indeed what they wanted. "This Lin Maoxiong is quite efficient."

"Sister, Huitong has highlighted the sentence 'Optimistic about the prospects of cooperation between Jianghe Group and IF' in bold and red."

"In addition, they added a sentence: 'Jianghe Group's intelligent logistics system is industry-leading.'"

"It seems this announcement is even more powerful than we expected!"

Li Ying rubbed her temples and tapped her knees lightly with her fingertips. "This is the sincerity shown after receiving benefits."

“Lin Maoxiong is an old fox. He knows that by helping us create momentum, we can not only earn two percent of profit next year, but also make Huitong stand out in the IF market.”

"If our cooperation is successful, the value of Jianghe shares in his hands will also increase accordingly."

"Immediately forward the letter of intent to the Ministry of Justice for review."

"Once confirmed, we'll forward it to the brand department. As soon as the announcement is released tomorrow, we'll immediately pin it to the top of the official website and industry media!"

Just then, Zhong Hui called, her voice slightly hurried.

Li Ying asked, "What's wrong? Is there any news?"

Zhong Hui said, "I just received news that IF has agreed to this negotiation with the Handong Provincial Committee."

"The time and place will be as agreed by the Provincial Party Committee. The entire IF working group will be present!"

"In addition, there are three other pieces of news, none of which are good!"

Upon hearing three pieces of bad news, even someone as composed as Li Ying showed a noticeable increase in tension.

However, she is now the leader and the soul of the Jianghe Group, so she cannot show any panic.

If even she panics, Zhong Hui and Chu Xiong will find it even harder to cope!
