When Wang Chao helped Du Bin home, it was already midnight.
Yafen was in her pajamas, watching TV while waiting for Du Bin to come home. Seeing him drink like this, she was a little unhappy and scolded him,"Why didn't you count? How could he drink so much with that Li Jinbiao?”
Wang Chao squatted on the ground and took off Du Bin's shoes. He raised his head and said,""They were both drunk. Li Jinbiao didn't even get up from his seat. He just lay under the table and vomited.”
"Why did you drink so much?" Yafen went to the bathroom and soaked a wet towel with cold water. She placed it on Du Bin's forehead. " I don't know why either. Anyway, they were drinking and quarreling." Wang Chao helped Du Bin take off his socks and said," It seemed to be because of the matter at Changhai City's Wood City. They quarreled for an entire night, but no winner was decided."”
The next morning, Yafen got up early to make breakfast for Du Bin. He first boiled a few eggs with plain water, then poured the soybeans soaked last night into the soymilk machine and began to grind the soybean milk. When everything was ready, she looked at the clock on the wall. It was 7:15. She went to Du Bin's bedroom to wake him up.
Du Bin was still half-asleep. His eyes were swollen and his whole body felt like it was falling apart. He washed his face briefly and walked into the dining room in his slippers.
"Look at you, your eyes are swollen. Why did you drink so much last night?”Yafen asked with concern. She handed him a bowl of soy milk with white sugar and said," Drink more soy milk to relieve your hangover. You still reek of alcohol. Seriously!"”
Du Bin picked up the bowl and drank a mouthful of hot soy milk. Immediately, a warm current entered his lungs and he felt much more comfortable. He sighed and said,"Sigh, I don't know what's wrong with Li Jinbiao. No matter what I say, it won't work!”Therefore, Du Bin told him the reason why he and Li Jinbiao quarreled.
Yafen felt that Du Bin did the right thing and said,"Li Jinbiao is blind. He only knows how to earn money, but he doesn't care about the lives of the people over there.”
" Yafen," Du Bin drank a bowl of soy milk and felt much better in his stomach. Seeing that there was not much soy milk left in Yafen's bowl, he eagerly scooped a bowl of soy milk for her and said," Can you help me get some money from your other sources to support the construction of our timber city?"”
"This is not easy to handle.”Yafen didn't expect Du Bin to suddenly make such a request. This really put her in a difficult position. But she couldn't stand Du Bin's repeated requests, so she agreed to give it a try.
Yafen went to work, Wang Chao drove downstairs, and Du Bin went to Jinyu Hotel.
When he pushed open the door of Li Jinbiao's chairman's office suite, the smell of alcohol hit his face. He was still sleeping soundly under the blanket. "Wake up, wake up!" Du Bin lifted the blanket and found Li Jinbiao naked and curled up there. Hey, this kid's old habits from university haven't changed. He's still practicing his Class A sleep! Du Bin thought in surprise.
Li Jinbiao snatched the blanket and covered himself with it. His eyes were dark and there was a thick layer of eye mucus at the corner of his eyes.
"Tsk! Why are you here again?" Li Jinbiao turned over in annoyance and gave his back to Du Bin.
"If you don't agree, I'll come here every day and eat and live with you.”Du Bin lifted the blanket and was about to burrow into it.
"Tch, you're really my ancestor!”Li Jinbiao pushed Du Bin off the bed in annoyance and pulled the blanket tightly. He sat up and said," Look at how you drank me. I didn't even go home. I don't even know how I got back to the office."”
"I'm sorry, Jin Biao." Du Bin smiled apologetically and sat on the edge of the bed. Li Jinbiao thought that he was going to crawl under the blanket again, so he was so scared that he quickly moved inside and grabbed the blanket tightly with both hands.
" Put on your pants first." Du Bin threw the pants under his pillow to him and said sincerely," Jin Biao, I know that you want to earn money. You want to invest less and earn more. This is nothing. I understand." But you have to understand me. I'm from Changhai. I was an orphan since I was young. It was the Changhai people who raised me. Otherwise, I would have been fed to the wolves long ago. Why would I waste my time here with you? Don't you think I'm going back to be a chief because I want to repay the people of Changhai City? But tell me, if the Timber City that I set up causes harm to the people of Changhai City and their descendants because of environmental pollution, won't I be a sinner? Then why did I build this stupid Wood City? Was it to pollute the environment, harm the people, and harm their descendants? In that case, wouldn't I be committing a sin? You're also committing a sin! Jin Biao, let's put ourselves in each other's shoes. If you were in my shoes and told me the truth, would you do what I did? If it was your hometown, would you still insist on the pollution control process?”
Du Bin's sincere words reached Li Jinbiao's heart. He knew that he was wrong. In fact, from the beginning, he knew that he was wrong and Du Bin was right. However, he really did not want to increase the funding by more than 100 million yuan to increase the process of pollution control. His heart ached for the hundreds of millions of yuan!
" Tsk, let me tell you." Li Jinbiao knew that he was in the wrong, but he did not admit defeat. He used another trump card and said," When I heard that I was going to Changhai City to invest in a factory, your neighboring county was also tempted. They are also ports and want to build a timber city. Their county party secretary and county head will arrive at noon today to invite me to invest. They said that as long as I can invest in the factory, they will agree to any other conditions.”
This sudden change was something Du Bin had not expected. If it was really as he said, wouldn't the cooked duck fly away again?
Du Bin glanced at him. Seeing his smug look, he knew that this kid wasn't bluffing him. It was the truth. Ai, now all the places were seizing the opportunity to seek development and attracting investment. Du Bin was clear about the situation in the neighboring county. Although their port could not compare to Chang Hai City's port in terms of scale, they had recently transferred a county party secretary. He was the secretary of the provincial government's executive vice governor. He was ruthless and powerful. It was said that he had privately proposed a slogan to surpass Chang Hai City in three years! If Li Jinbiao was dragged over by them, not only would he be defeated, but he might also be "helping the tiger"!
Thinking of this, Du Bin broke out in a cold sweat and said,""Li Jinbiao, you can't change your mind! You've already signed a contract with me, so why are you still secretly contacting others? Aren't you half-hearted? Isn't it 'defecting to the enemy?'"
Li Jinbiao saw Du Bin's anxious look and found it funny. He shrugged his shoulders proudly and said," Their conditions are much more favorable than yours. Not only did they not force us to do the pollution control project, but they also wanted to build the factory, water, electricity, roads, communications, and other facilities. They are 'building a nest to attract phoenix', understand? "It's much more worry-free for us to invest in them than in Chang Hai City. Tsk, the few bosses I brought to Chang Hai City are a little shaken.”
He had no choice but to compromise!
Du Bin knew that he had no choice but to compromise! The problem now was not that he and Li Jinbiao were angry, but a very, very serious consequence was waiting for him!
The current situation was no longer up to him. They either insisted on their own reasons or lost the investment of these bosses.
It wasn't until then that Du Bin realized that he had been unfair to Li Jinbiao from the beginning. He didn't treat him as an ancestor like the other bosses who came to invest. Instead, he treated him as a university classmate in the lower bunk. There were many elements that bullied him.
In the end, Du Bin and Li Jinbiao reached an agreement. Li Jinbiao also went to Changhai City to invest in a factory and strictly increased the pollution control project according to the standards. However, the additional condition was that Chang Hai City would be responsible for the leveling of the site, the construction of the 50,000-square-meter factory, and the construction of water, electricity, roads, heating, communications, and other infrastructure.
It was exactly what Li Jinbiao had said,"building a nest to attract phoenixes".
However, even though Li Jinbiao, the " Phoenix ", had to invest more than 100 million in pollution control, Changhai City was not any better. They had to invest more than 200 million or even 300 million in the " nest building " funds. Du Bin still had no idea where the funds came from. He still wanted to "cheat" Li Jinbiao, so he coaxed and begged him for help. Li Jinbiao had no choice but to go to the Provincial Department of Transportation to help Changhai City solve the construction funds for the three kilometers of cement road leading to the Wood City, as well as the cost of 100,000 square meters of cement floor in the Wood City.
The two of them sat on the bed of Li Jinbiao's suite, arguing and bargaining like the vendors and the aunties in the morning market. They argued until noon, and their mouths were dry.
Yafen called Du Bin and told him that she had communicated with the two directors. They agreed to help Changhai City solve the 15 million yuan support fund. However, Yafen said that Changhai City had to give them a 10% commission.
Good news and bad news!
