"Then we'll ride the donkey and watch the show, let's see."
Li Bingqing responded angrily and turned to leave.
"I'm sorry Song Qiao, it's all my fault..."
Wu Meng lowered her head guiltily. This matter started because of her, and it would definitely cause a lot of trouble for Song Qiao.
Song Qiao smiled slightly and gently patted her head.
"How can this be your fault? A small merchant from Bear Country, even without this incident, we would have competed for the port project.
"It's just that this guy is not worthy of beating me."
As Song Qiao spoke, he pulled the two women to the dining table and started eating, as if he hadn't taken the afternoon's events too seriously.
Afternoon.
The investment promotion conference was to be held in thirty minutes.
Many people had already arrived early.
To put it bluntly, whoever owned the port project today would be a major reshuffle in the city's business circle.
The sheer anticipation was enough to drive everyone present crazy.
"Governor, regarding the port project, Mr. Koninyev is very interested in investing. He is willing to offer a high price to introduce more advanced equipment."
Li Bingqing, beaming with pride, led Koninyev to Zheng Shan, as if seeking credit.
"Oh?"
"Mr. Koninyev is willing to invest in us?"
Zheng Shan's eyes lit up. He carefully observed the other person, his face unable to hide his pleasant surprise.
He was well aware of Koninyev's status in Bear Country. The man had immense economic strength, and with his support, the province would reach a new level.
As the provincial leader, this would undoubtedly be a significant achievement.
If he added the merit of dealing with Mike this time.
Perhaps his next promotion would be a crucial step.
"Mr. Koni, please sit down. I didn't expect you to be so interested in our port project. Please rest assured, we will definitely provide you with policy support."
Zheng Shan chuckled, even lowering his guard as a provincial leader.
He enthusiastically invited Koninyev to sit next to him.
"Mr. Governor, although I want to invest here, I find that my personal safety cannot be guaranteed."
Koninyev's face was ashen, clearly still angry about being beaten by Song Qiao in the morning.
"Oh? Mr. Koni, have you suffered any grievances here? Tell me about it, and I will definitely uphold justice for you."
Zheng Shan, a shrewd individual, understood Koninyev's meaning with a single sentence.
This was clearly a complaint.
Thinking of this, he looked up at Li Bingqing with a half-smile, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.
Koninyev wouldn't have come up with this idea himself. It must have been Li Bingqing's suggestion.
"This morning, I was beaten by someone at the investment promotion conference. I hope the Governor can punish him properly, otherwise, I will immediately withdraw my investment."
Koninyev was direct and stated his demands to the Governor without any circumlocution.
"What?"
"Someone actually dared to lay hands on Mr. Koni at the investment promotion conference? This is outrageous!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Shan's face darkened immediately.
If this matter was not handled properly and reached the ears of his superiors, let alone gain merit, it would be a blessing if he wasn't held accountable.
"Who did it? Bring him here immediately. I want him to apologize to Mr. Koni properly."
He waved his hand, signaling his secretary to quickly investigate the matter.
He then started talking to Koninyev himself, trying to extract valuable information.
He wanted to know how much money the man intended to invest this time.
In less than a moment.
The secretary nervously led Song Qiao into the office.
As soon as he entered, Zheng Shan's face broke into a smile.
"Xiao Song, why are you here at this time? Come, sit down, let me introduce you..."
"It's him, he's the one who hit me."
Just then, Koninyev stood up excitedly from his seat, pointing at Song Qiao and shouting. Although his voice was loud, his eyes revealed deep fear.
"It's you?"
Zheng Shan's previously smiling face froze instantly.
The conflict in his expression flickered.
He needed Koninyev's help more at the moment, so he could only inconvenience Song Qiao.
He deliberately put on a stern face and said coldly to Song Qiao:
"Xiao Song, I'm not one to say this, but you were too impulsive. Apologize to Mr. Koni quickly. For my sake, let's resolve this matter without making a big deal out of it."
His tone was laced with a hint of blame, which made Song Qiao frown immediately.
"Xiao Song, apologize quickly. Don't be rash."
Secretary Gao, who had been standing by, quickly tugged at Song Qiao's sleeve, signaling him not to push back.
Otherwise, if the Governor became angry, even he wouldn't be able to protect Song Qiao.
"Xiao Song, do you know how much Koninyev wants to invest in our port project? He is a distinguished guest of our province, and you dared to hit him. If not for your past merit in dealing with Mike,"
"I would have punished you long ago."
Seeing that Song Qiao remained standing and refused to apologize, the Governor's face darkened further.
"No way, can a mere merchant from Bear Country make you so concerned?"
Song Qiao chuckled dismissively.
"I invited Mr. Lunyitake, isn't it for the benefit of our province? Do I have the right to ask Koninyev to get out of China?"
Song Qiao's tone was filled with mockery, clearly unafraid of the Governor's threat.
Since Zheng Shan enjoyed chasing profits so much.
Facing a greater temptation, Song Qiao didn't believe he could resist.
As expected.
As soon as Song Qiao spoke, Zheng Shan's eyes lit up.
He had long heard that Lunyitake was in China this time to represent his father in cooperating with a mysterious businessman.
He never expected that this person would be Song Qiao.
Now, Koninyev's anger was insignificant in his eyes.
Compared to the Lunyitake family, although Koninyev was wealthy, he was merely a slightly larger ant.
Zheng Shan knew clearly which of the two sides held more value.
As for how to choose, as long as he wasn't an idiot, he should be able to make a decision.
"Governor, please don't be deceived by him!"
Seeing that Zheng Shan was about to turn his back on him, Li Bingqing quickly reminded him from the side.
However, the next second.
Lunyitake pushed the door open and stood directly by Song Qiao's side.
"Mr. Song, please rest assured. My father said on the phone just now that our Tuck family will invest in this port project at all costs."
Lunyitake's words instantly silenced the entire room.
Song Qiao nodded with satisfaction and cast a provocative glance at Li Bingqing.
"Li Bingqing, from now on, this port project belongs to Xinkai Capital. If you have any objections, feel free to come at me!"
