Chapter 1481: The Explosive Signing Ceremony

Ten-thirty.

The signing ceremony begins.

In an exhibition area covered with a sunshade, Dong Xubing, Zheng Dayou, and several investment promotion staff sit behind the main table, watching the investors not far away. Everything that can be done has been done; now it's time to see the results. Whether it's success or failure, it's all in vain until the investors sign. Anyway, Dong Xubing has no regrets. These days, he has put in the greatest effort, using all his strength in this signing ceremony. If, in the worst-case scenario, the investment target of seventy million expected by the county is not achieved, Dong Xubing can do nothing about it.

One second…

Three seconds…

Five seconds…

County leaders are also resting and waiting at the nearby exhibition stand. It's clear that the faces of many officials are filled with tension and anxiety.

No one knows how the outcome will be.

All everyone can do is wait.

Finally, the first investor slowly walks towards the signing area. It's none other than Mr. Li, who had previously discussed the terms with Dong Xubing. He is accompanied by a secretary, possibly an accountant or legal advisor. They walk up to Dong Xubing, sit down, and smile.

"Mayor Dong."

"Mr. Li, you're the first."

"Haha, being the first is good, auspicious."

"Shall we go with the contract we discussed last time?"

"Sure, let's go with what we discussed before."

"Everything's ready, take a look."

"Xiao Zhou, have a look."

"Mr. Li, I've checked, no problem."

"Alright, let's sign."

Mr. Li is straightforward; he picks up the pen and signs the contract. Dong Xubing, as the county's representative for the signing, immediately signed his name and stamped it.

Putting down the pen, Mr. Li and Dong Xubing stand up, smiling, shaking hands. The contract is effective, and a five-million investment is settled. This is equivalent to the annual investment quota of Zhen Shui County for the past few years. A great start that lifts the spirits of the people in the county.

Next, the second investor arrives.

It's a boss interested in a livestock project, which was already discussed earlier. The contract is drafted. There is no need for further discussion or modification. They directly sign the contract.

Another three-million investment.

Over there, many investors go to the consultation area. There are quite a few people. Seeing this, Jiang Fangfang rushes over with her secretary to help deal with issues alongside Chang Juan and Chen Yunsong. With the Mayor in charge, many policy issues don't need further consultation with leaders, saving time. As for Secretary Meng, he is chatting with some officials and the signed investors about when the funds will be in place. The division of labor is clear, and the signing ceremony becomes lively. The atmosphere seems very good, and many hesitant investors, seeing this, also head to the consultation area to inquire about project details or the maximum limit of preferential policies.

One person… three people… five people…

Five million… three million… seven million…

Domestic investors, one by one, enter and exit the signing area. Some are eager, signing right away, while others have concerns. They discussed the contract details with Dong Xubing for a long time before finally signing. Some even prepare to temporarily change clauses. After reviewing their contracts, Dong Xubing hands them over to a legal advisor for confirmation before signing.

The signing area becomes instantly chaotic.

As the signing representative, Dong Xubing is involved in discussing projects with these investors, so he has to review each contract and oversee the signing. Sometimes, Dong Xubing even has to deal with two or three investors simultaneously, ensuring they don't see each other's contracts and incentive policies to avoid potential issues. Therefore, Dong Xubing is running back and forth between partitions, handling one thing after another. His buttocks can hardly touch the chair, and his mouth doesn't stop.

"Yes, they are all the same."

"Hey, Mr. Liu, this clause won't work."

"Mr. Sun, wait a moment, I'm coming over right away!"

"Old Zheng, print out Mr. Sun's contract first; I can't leave my spot."

"Yes, this clause can be canceled. Great, happy cooperation."

Such a heated scene is something Dong Xubing and the Investment Promotion Bureau did not anticipate. Everyone is energized and excited.

Ten million…

Twenty million…

Twenty-five million…

Thirty-two million…

The total investment amount is skyrocketing!

Meng Rui and the county officials are also watching with excitement!

Finally, after forty minutes since the start, the total investment has reached a staggering 38 million from domestic investors. So far, the foreign investors haven't even made a move.

Slowly, the scene calms down a bit.

More than ten minutes passed, and no domestic investors came to the signing area temporarily. Many people are talking quietly; some are still in the consultation area, probably hesitating. Of course, there are also those who sit there indifferent and some who are certain they won't invest leave early.

Waiting and waiting.

Waiting and waiting.

Is there no one else?

Dong Xubing suddenly finds himself with some free time.

At half past eleven, the first foreign investor finally appears!

It's a woman named Anna, the only foreigner who had previously expressed investment intentions in Zhen Shui County. Dong Xuebing and the Investment Promotion Bureau have had extensive discussions with her. Anna didn't bring a translator and spoke in English right away. Dong Xuebing and his team were prepared, and a staff member quickly translated for him. The contract is finally ready after resolving some details that hadn't been discussed.

A contract bound in both English and Chinese.

Anna signs her name with a smile, and Dong Xubing also signs.

"Pleasant cooperation." Dong Xubing shakes hands with her with a smile. He notices that many county officials not far away are also excitedly standing up.

When foreign investors take action, it's obvious that their investment amounts are much higher than domestic investors, with Anna's project being 23 million RMB!

Now, the total investment has reached 61 million!

The signing amount has almost reached the county's expected 70 million in just a short hour. At this point, no one doubts whether Zhen Shui County's Investment Promotion Association will be successful. Achieving this amount makes them the biggest winners. As for what happens next, it's just a matter of more or fewer signings. Everyone wants to know how much investment their county can secure this time.

At this rate, could it even surpass 100 million?

Impossible, right? They are just a small county. It's worth noting that the entire investment amount for Meihe City last year was not even two billion!"
