A certain book friend gave this book a three-star evaluation vote, I'd say big brother, didn't you click wrong? Five stars are available, isn't that right?
Feng Xiaotian was terrified at this moment, the two middle-aged men beside him had a very capable and composed expression, one look and you could tell they were not ordinary people. Feng Xiaotian didn't know what their identities were or why they had found him, in his panic he thought: Could it be... they want to rob me?
Feng Xiaotian thought of this and immediately tightened the pouch containing money, stuttering: "I don't have any money... you guys..."
At this time, the man sitting on the right side of Feng Xiaotian finally spoke up: "You're Feng Xiaotian, right? Don't worry, we're just taking you to see someone, and nothing will happen to you."
Feng Xiao Tian was taken aback by these words and thought to himself: Take me to see someone? Who is it? Why do you guys seem a bit like the mafia or something?
The man stopped talking and didn't say another word, Feng Xiaotian's heart was still racing, he also didn't dare to speak, afraid of provoking the two men. The car fell silent for a while, after more than ten minutes, the car finally came to a stop. The two middle-aged men opened the door and said to Feng Xiaotian: "Feng Xiaotian, follow us upstairs now."
Feng Xiaotian had to get off the car after hearing this, here is a residential area, which belongs to a very luxurious type, with armed police standing guard at the entrance. Feng Xiaotian felt slightly relieved when he saw the armed police, such a regular place, at least didn't have to worry about the other party being black, triad or evil society.
As he followed the two people into a room on the third floor of the residential building, he looked up and saw someone who was somewhat familiar. After thinking for a moment, he remembered: wasn't this person the one who helped Daisy find a translator last night? Why did he want to find him?
Feng Xiaotian was thinking this way when the man smiled and said: "Are you Feng Xiaotian? My name is Guo Xiangqian, let's sit down and talk."
Guo Xiangqian pulled Feng Xiaotian to sit down in the living room, and then continued: "Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you, I just want to ask for your help."
Feng Xiao Tian heard this and hesitated: "Uncle Guo... what can I help you with?"
Kuo Hsiang-ch'ien heard this and stared at Feng Hsiao-t'ien for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "You little devil really has skills, actually becoming Miss Tai Fei's personal translator. Heh heh, I'm looking for you precisely because of Miss Tai Fei's matter."
Feng Xiaotian instantly understood everything when he heard this - earlier, the drivers had told him that Secretary Guo had gone to Sanjiang Hotel last night, and the person in front of him had seen someone with the surname Guo at the entrance of Sanjiang Hotel last night, now bringing up the matter of Dai Feier, so he must be Secretary Guo without a doubt.
Feng Xiaotian thought of this and opened his mouth: "Uncle Guo, are you the Secretary Guo of the Municipal Committee?"
Kuo Hsiang-ch'ien was taken aback by the words, and then laughed: "That's right, I am Secretary Huang's special secretary. Everyone in the unit calls me Secretary Kuo. Young man, how did you know?"
Feng Xiaotian felt completely at ease after hearing this, since it was a government person, they must be looking for him regarding Mr. Mellon's investment matters. The other party was now asking for his help, so naturally they wouldn't do anything bad to him. He saw Feng Xiaotian smile slightly and say: "Uncle Guo is good, I met you last night at the entrance of Sanjiang Hotel, when you were talking to Miss Dai Fei about translation matters. After you left, I took the initiative to become her translator."
"Are you doing this for the 200 US dollars reward?" Secretary Guo laughed and said.
Feng Xiao Tian smiled and nodded: "Indeed, I suppose you've investigated me already, right? You should understand my situation."
Secretary Guo was originally smiling, but when he heard this, he was stunned. Indeed, he had detailed information about Feng Xiaotian in his hands. As someone like him, he wouldn't act blindly. Guo didn't expect that Feng Xiaotian's thoughts would be so meticulous. Just by hearing himself say that it was for the money, he already guessed the reason behind his words.
Secretary Guo was stunned for a moment, then straightened his back and no longer looked as casual as before. He said seriously: "Feng Xiaotian, you should now know why I asked you to come here?"
Feng Xiao Tian smiled slightly and nodded: "I know, it's about Mr. Mellon's investment."
Secretary Guo's words just now had a probing meaning, and unexpectedly Feng Xiang Tian said it without the slightest difference. It wasn't until now that he finally understood: this slender young man in front of him was absolutely not as simple as he looked!
Guo Secretary thought of this and spoke up: "Feng Xiaotian, do you think there's hope for this matter?"
Secretary Guo's words were very clear: Can you get the investment deal done through Miss Dai Feier?
Feng Xiao Tian heard the words and smiled, then asked in return: "Uncle Guo, I'm still young and don't understand much about investments. Can you tell me what advantages our Sanjiang has in this regard?"
Feng Xiao Tian didn't say he could handle the matter himself, but instead threw the problem to Fang. However, his implied meaning was also very clear: if you want me to help, shouldn't I at least know some specific details? Otherwise, how can I even open my mouth to others?
"Secretary Guo didn't seem to understand Feng Xiaotian's meaning. Upon hearing this, he smiled and said: "Mr. Meilong's investment project is very large this time, we have three competitors - Jingcheng, Linjiang, and Anxi. Anxi can be ignored, now only Jingcheng and Linjiang are left. Currently, we don't have an advantage over either of them, so we want to find a breakthrough from Miss Dai Feier. Mr. Meilong loves this daughter very much, although he may not listen to Miss Dai Feier's suggestions on business matters, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must try."
Feng Xiao Tian heard this and asked: "Uncle Guo, what is Mr. Mei Long's investment project?"
Secretary Guo thought for a moment and finally spoke the truth: "Mr. Mellon intends to invest in producing highly automated industrial equipment in our country this time, which is a weakness in our domestic industry, so we need Mr. Mellon's technical support very much. This project is of great significance to our country, of course, mainly depending on where Mr. Mellon will locate the investment. You know, the investment amount for this project is quite large, according to Mr. Mellon's plan, he will invest 300 million US dollars in our country."
Feng Xiao Tian was deeply shocked by these words! Three billion US dollars, if converted to RMB... tens of billions! No wonder the municipal government is so enthusiastic about this, even going so far as to think of ways to win over Dai Fei Er in order to get this investment.
Secretary Guo finished speaking and stared at Feng Xiao, his face full of hopeful color, no wonder, his main task now is to win over Miss Dai Fei, if this matter can be effective, he will also rely on this merit to further advance in his official career.
Feng Xiao Tian fell into deep thought, and it wasn't until after a long while that he finally spoke up: "Uncle Guo, I can help with this matter."
After careful consideration, Feng Xiaotian finally agreed to Secretary Guo's request, which was certainly for a reason - just as Secretary Guo showed a pleased expression, Feng Xiaotian continued: "However, I also have conditions..."
Secretary Guo's smile on his face immediately froze when he heard this, and then he opened his mouth and said: "What conditions do you have?"
Feng Xiao Tian smiled slightly and said: "If I help the government attract such a large investment, shouldn't the government reward me?"
Secretary Guo thought for a moment after hearing the words, then said: "I can reward you in my personal capacity, but first declare that the amount of the reward will not be too much."
Feng Xiao Tian heard this and chuckled: "As long as there's a reward, that's all that matters. Besides..."
Guo Secretary heard that Feng Xiao Tian still had requests, so he furrowed his brow and said: "What else do you have to ask for? Just say it all at once."
Feng Xiao Tian didn't mince words and directly laid out his terms: "I'm sure you're also aware of what happened to me recently? My demands are simple - the policeman who hit me must be severely punished! Also, that computer should be returned to me as part of the reward. If these two conditions aren't met, I won't lift a finger."
