Four million Hong Kong dollars is equivalent to 2.5 million yuan at the exchange rate, which may not be a small investment in the southern provinces, but in a poor and underdeveloped province like Hudong Province, especially in a remote area like Yiyang City, it is very valuable in the current environment of the embargo by Western countries.

What's more, the other party promised to accept and resettle half of the employees of Shengli Electronics No. 2 Factory, which is a "preferential treatment" rarely seen in foreign investment.

Not to mention the director of the China Merchants Bureau, even Peng Ming also has some intentions: this can be regarded as the first major political achievement that can be reported to his superiors since he took office.

At this time, they did not expect that the reason why Hong Kong businessmen insisted so much, and the reason why they were raising prices and rehousing workers, was entirely because they took a fancy to the land of Shengli Electronics No. 2 Factory. Although this land is still on the edge of the city, this Hong Kong businessman knows that it will not be long before the city will become the center of the city with the development of the city, and the land price there will definitely soar in the future.

When Peng Ming and the director of China Merchants were weighing and already moved, while the Hong Kong businessmen were calm on the surface but excited in their hearts, the phone on Peng Ming's desk suddenly rang again.

The secretary glanced at Peng Ming and just moved to answer the phone, but Peng Ming had already stood up and strode to the desk.

picked up the phone, only fed it, and a cheerful voice immediately came from inside: "Mayor Peng, hello, I am Lao Zhang of Fengjia County." ”

Peng Ming was stunned in his heart, he didn't know why this guy who didn't deal with him much before called in such a happy tone, and said with a smile: "County Magistrate Zhang, what's the good thing, see you so happy." ”

County Magistrate Zhang smiled: "It's a good thing. Mayor Peng, there is a Chinese-American who has confirmed to donate $500,000 to build roads in our county!"

"Ah, half a million dollars?" Peng Ming asked in surprise, his body involuntarily stood up from his chair, and asked, "Donate?"

County Magistrate Zhang said loudly: "Sure! After they have reviewed the highway drawings in two days, they can sign the agreement." When the time comes, we will have to ask Mayor Peng and your leaders to come to our county to check it, we have never seen such a large amount of donations. ”

The so-called gatekeeping is just to let the leaders know that everyone will be happy together.

The director of the China Merchants Bureau, who was accompanying the Hong Kong businessmen, also stood up in surprise and blurted out: "County Magistrate Zhang is talking about the Chinese-American surnamed Zeng, right? A few days ago, their county told me that the other party might donate $200,000, because the other party did not say that he would die, and they only prepared for me, and it was not good for me to report this uncertain matter to you, so I only arranged for them to entertain each other well and let them know more about our sincerity." …… , but how did you suddenly determine that it had increased by 300,000 dollars?"

In fact, as a municipal-level investment promotion bureau, the figure of 200,000 US dollars is not large, and there is no final confirmation, so he is not too relieved. But now half a million dollars is different, and it suddenly rises to the range of large investments.

According to the exchange rate at this time, 500,000 US dollars is equivalent to 2.5 million yuan, which is also equivalent to 4.1 million Hong Kong dollars, and for China, the US dollar is far more valuable than Hong Kong dollars.

Peng Ming listened to the words of the director of the China Merchants Bureau and asked into the microphone: "County Magistrate Zhang, is that Chinese-American surnamed Zeng? Didn't he say before that he would donate $200,000 and wait for a while before making a decision? Why did he suddenly change his mind today?"

County Magistrate Zhang said: "Yes, his surname is Zeng." Director Wang has reported to you?...... It wasn't clear to us at first why he suddenly changed his mind. When he came to my office this morning, he suddenly doubled his mouth, and the leaders of our county were all inexplicable, and after some understanding, they learned that the ultimate purpose of Mr. Zeng's return to China was to treat the sequelae of his gunshot wound.

He said that he has been suffering from this sequelae, life is better than death, and year by year he has become more and more strict, looking for hospitals all over the United States, many famous hospitals in Europe, and many traditional Chinese medicine doctors, and even witch doctors, and the money has been spent an unknown amount, but there is no improvement. But this time, he was cured a lot in Shiqiao Town, and they didn't charge him extra money. Out of gratitude, he gave $300,000 more. ”

Peng Ming also understood when he heard it, the disease that had plagued him for many years was removed, and he was certainly in a good mood, and the donation was naturally generous. He asked curiously, "Who cured him? Could it be that there are such capable people in the small town of Stonebridge?"

County Magistrate Zhang was in a very good mood and said, "This time is really a coincidence. It was a young man who cured him, and this young man was really close to this Mr. Zeng. At the beginning of the year, this Chinese-American wrote a letter to a Taoist priest who was over 100 years old and didn't know if he was alive or not, thanking him for saving his life during the Anti-Japanese War. Originally, no one could find the Taoist priest after the letter was mailed from abroad, and when he was about to return the dead letter, it was this young man who worked as a postman in Shiqiao Town, not only found the Taoist priest who everyone thought was dead, handed the letter to him, and also made the Chinese-Americans rush back to China.

Didn't this Mr. Zeng return to China a few days ago, but he didn't find the floating Taoist priest, and he was very disappointed. As a result, the young man didn't know what to say, so he not only comforted him, but also prescribed him a prescription, and after boiling a few pairs of medicines, he was mostly relieved of the sequelae of the gunshot wound. So, the Chinese-American put a lot of money into helping us build the road.

Mayor Peng, this young man has really helped us a lot. His name is Jiang Xinwei, and he heard his former leader say that he works in the second factory of Shengli Electronics in Yiyang City. I don't even know why he went to work in that inefficient unit. Listening to this Mr. Zeng's tone, he wanted to take this young man to the United States, saying that he would definitely make a lot of money in the United States with his medical skills, and his salary could be millions of dollars a year. I don't even believe that Yankees are paid so much. However, the child's parents strongly disagreed, and did not agree with what their son was going to America......"

When Peng Ming heard "Jiang Xinwei" again, he was really a little speechless: God, how much ability does this kid have? How can he be able to rejuvenate with his skillful hands? Can he cure diseases that cannot even be cured by big hospitals in Western countries? Is it possible?

"Could it be that this kid is really my lucky star?" Peng Ming, who had never been superstitious, couldn't help but begin to be confused. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Jiang Xinwei was mysterious, and after a while, his thoughts became stronger and stronger.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, asked about other situations in a normal tone, and then asked County Magistrate Zhang to ask Mr. Zeng if he was willing to attend the banquet of the city government, and instructed the county to receive the other party well, and then hung up the phone.

The office of this era is not as luxurious and spacious as the office of the 21st century, although it is also divided into an office area and a reception area, but the two areas are not separated, but the sofa is next to it to form a small circle, so Peng Ming's voice is often heard in the ears of Mr. Liu, a Hong Kong businessman.

Hearing that the Chinese American donated $500,000 and thinking of the way he was arrogant just now, Mr. Liu couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart, and for the first time doubted whether he could "take" that place today.
