Following the sound, a very tall and sturdy old man strode in.
He was wearing an old navy blue tunic suit, with two pens in his breast pockets, and thick glasses on his nose.
He doesn't look like a big leader, like a rural teacher.
Zhang Jiaqiang stood up in a hurry and said, "Hello Uncle Feng, look at what you said, I seem to be so unconscionable?"
Uncle Feng stretched out his thick palm to hold Zhang Jiaqiang's hand, looked at him and said.
"Well, he's quite handsome. He looks a lot like Brother Zhang when he was young. No wonder you two hit it off immediately!"
Zhang Jiaqiang smiled awkwardly, he really couldn't answer this, and hurriedly gave up his seat when the topic changed.
Uncle Feng looked around at everyone and said, "Everyone, please sit down. Today is to support Jia Qiang, and I have asked you young people to come and keep me company. Don't be restrained!"
Director Yang was very discerning and immediately called the waiter to serve food and wine.
Wang Aijiao took the initiative to sit next to Zhang Jiaqiang, looking ready to pour wine and serve dishes at any time.
Director Sun Da, who was in charge of industry, just nodded politely to Uncle Feng and sat on Uncle Feng's left hand side, as if he didn't like to talk to Zhang Jiaqiang.
Soon the fragrant white wine filled the cup.
Uncle Feng picked up the wine glass and said, "Jia Qiang, you are a guest from afar. This glass of wine is my welcome to you on behalf of Jiangcheng!"
Zhang Jiaqiang said silently, "I'm welcome to invest, right?"
He hurriedly picked up the wine glass and responded, and everyone followed suit and drank from the glass.
Only Director Sun Da just touched his lips and put down the cup.
Zhang Jiaqiang saw this and thought that it was the first time he met this person and he should not be so disrespectful no matter what.
Especially people in the officialdom pay more attention to face. Even if they don't like you, they won't turn against you in person.
Judging from the age of Director Sun, he has become a director in his own right when he is less than forty years old. He can be regarded as a young and promising person with unlimited future.
Presumably the backstage should be very tough, even higher than Uncle Feng, so it makes sense that he looks down on Uncle Feng's juniors.
Thinking of this, Zhang Jiaqiang stopped paying attention to this person. Anyway, coming here this time had nothing to do with him.
The atmosphere at the wine table was quite lively, and soon Uncle Feng led everyone to drink three glasses of opening wine, and immediately handed over the drinking task to his deputy, Director Yang.
"The leader has had three drinks, so naturally I can't lose my temper. In this way, Mr. Zhang, I'll toast you three drinks alone. This will deepen your impression, okay? I'll do whatever you want with me!"
Director Yang was very polite and took care of the fact that Zhang Jiaqiang came alone and was afraid that he would drink too much.
Zhang Jiaqiang reciprocated the favor, and the two of them drank three full glasses.
As soon as Zhang Jiaqiang put down his wine glass, Officer Wang next to him immediately filled it up for him and added a piece of duck gizzard to his plate.
"Mr. Zhang, you can't just drink wine without eating vegetables. Try our local specialties. These are duck gizzards carefully made from a year-and-a-half old duck. It's delicious and nourishes your stomach. Drink more and eat more!"
After Zhang Jiaqiang thanked him, he took the initiative to pick up the wine glass.
"Uncle Feng, I am so enthusiastic with you all, and I would like to express my gratitude to you. Let me start with Uncle Feng and give everyone a drink!"
Today Zhang Jiaqiang needs to keep a cool head. Now he has weighed more than half a pound. After he responded, he was going to stop drinking and wait for today's drama.
When the wine was served to Director Sun Da, the guy actually picked up his cell phone and touched the wine glass with his lips while making a call, without even saying a polite word.
Zhang Jiaqiang always ignored such spoiled children and immediately put down the wine glass calmly, pretending that nothing happened.
Uncle Feng looked grim. When Director Sun put down his phone, he said in a deep voice.
"Xiao Sun, Jia Qiang started his career in industry. I am talking to you, so why don't you show it to me!"
Director Sun Da smiled at Uncle Feng, then picked up the wine glass and raised the glass to Zhang Jiaqiang across the table without getting up.
"Xiao Zhang, right? Since you're here, let's visit and study. Come and have a drink with us!"
Zhang Jiaqiang can ignore this guy, but he has to give Uncle Feng face.
He drank it all in one gulp and looked at the other person with the empty glass.
Unexpectedly, Director Sun touched his lips again and put down the cup.
Doing this made Uncle Feng look angry and said in a bad tone.
"Xiao Sun, what's going on with you? Do you want fish in the cup?"
Director Sun Da smiled apologetically, "I'm not feeling well these days and I can't drink. Please stop rushing in!"
This is finally an excuse, and everyone can live with it.
Uncle Feng's anger turned slightly, and he said angrily, "If you can't drink, just tell me in advance. It's great to rest at home!"
Uncle Feng picked up the wine glass and said to Zhang Jiaqiang to look good.
"Jia Qiang, you made a toast just now. Logically speaking, I have to give you a toast in return. You are a junior, and my uncle has the same drink as you!"
"Don't be polite, sir. I have a limited capacity for drinking, so I don't dare to drink too much. This is my last glass of wine. I'll lend you a flower and offer it to everyone. After drinking is harmful to your health, how about we drink tea and chat?"
Uncle Feng saw that Zhang Jiaqiang had a general understanding and immediately said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, this is the wine in the cup, and then let's change it to tea!"
The waiter came and removed the wine glasses and served tea to everyone.
Wang Aijiao poured tea for Zhang Jiaqiang and said, "On the news yesterday, you signed the contract for more than 20 square kilometers of land in one fell swoop. I saw it with my own eyes. I was so impressed by your demeanor at that time. I wonder if I can have the opportunity to interview you alone." What about you once?"
Director Yang immediately joined in the fun, "With a one-time investment of 200 million U.S. dollars, it is the first of its kind in Jiangdong District. I also admire Mr. Zhang very much!"
Zhang Jiaqiang said with a smile, "I'm just holding on, you two must not praise me so much, be careful I fall to the ground!"
Wang Aijiao covered her mouth and smiled, "Then I'll give you tea instead of wine!"
Zhang Jiaqiang had no choice but to take a sip of hot tea.
Uncle Feng looked at the heat and said, "Jia Qiang, you have invested so much over there, why don't you look down on our Jiangcheng when you come here?"
Zhang Jiaqiang said with a smile, "Don't hold me on fire. There are outstanding people in Jiangcheng, so how can you look down on them? I'm afraid I won't be able to get involved even if I want to invest!"
Uncle Feng said, "I heard that you have two factories in your hometown, and later you also invested in an industrial city in Longcheng. Jiangcheng has also been vigorously developing and attracting investment in the past two years. It is not easy for you to come here. Take a good look here. I’ll let the two of them accompany you to see if there are any projects you like!”
He said and pointed at Director Yang and Director Wang.
Zhang Jiaqiang understood that this time it would be impossible to be careless, so he said seriously.
"I have limited time this time and I am in a hurry to get back. I don't need to visit and inspect it. But when it comes to investment, I really like a project!"
Director Yang's eyes lit up, "Mr. Zhang, you said that as long as the project does not conflict with the current development, our Investment Promotion Office will fully cooperate!"
Zhang Jiaqiang said, "I have cooperated with Jiangcheng Lighter Factory several times. Now it is considered an in-depth cooperation. I plan to invest 20 million in the lighter factory to expand its scale. Is this suitable?"
Although the investment of 20 million is far from the 200 million U.S. dollars, it is still a considerable achievement.
Director Yang and Director Wang suddenly smiled, and Uncle Feng also felt bright on his face.
But before they could say anything, Director Sun banged the table.
The guy stood up suddenly and said, "Don't even think about it!"
