212 Invitation; Everyone’s Envy!
Even though Song Wenwu had only met Lin Fan once, that time left a deep impression on him, and he would never forget it.
That was because it was Lin Fan’s grandfather’s birthday celebration.
Song Wenwu still remembered clearly…
At that time, all the higher-ups in Qing City, Jiangbei, and Jiang province went to celebrate Lin Fan’s grandfather’s birthday. Even Old Master Qin Weiming went.
From this, one could see just how high Lin Fan’s status was.
Song Wenwu had dreamed of meeting Lin Fan again, but he did not expect that he would be able to do so today.
Back then, Lin Fan had only casually glanced at Song Wenwu in the crowd.
However, he remembered him.
At this moment, Lin Fan saw that Song Wenwu had lowered himself and greeted him. He returned the greeting and stretched out his right hand, “Captain Song, right? Hello.”
When Song Wenwu saw Lin Fan shaking hands with him, he was extremely excited. He quickly said, “Mr. Lin, you can call me Lil Song. Lil Song will do.”
Their conversation was heard by everyone present, and their faces were filled with confusion and shock.
One had to know…
Song Wenwu was the captain of the city’s Finance Department.
When had everyone ever seen him so respectful and fawning over someone?
Moreover, the other party was a young man who looked to be in his 20s!
It was unbelievable.
Lin Fan smiled, “You’re about the same age as my dad. I’ll just call you Old Song.”
“Alright, alright,” Song Wenwu said happily.
Then, Lin Fan pointed at Huang De and said, “This is my good friend Huang De. He works at Hushui Street. He’s quite capable.”
“Huang De is a diligent person with a strong working ability. I’ve heard of him long ago,” Song Wenwu hurriedly said, “I didn’t expect him to be your good friend.”
It had to be said that Song Wenwu’s speech was really good.
In reality?
Song Wenwu had seen Huang De before, but he did not know his name.
Lin Fan did not point it out. He continued, “Huang Degang told me that there are too few businesses in Qing City, causing the living standards of the people to be too poor.
“I think what he said makes sense, so I promised Huang De that I would help find a group of companies to invest in.”
Then, he looked at his phone and said, “It’s getting late. Old Song, please help me invite Leader Zhao Jiaqi. I’ll invite Liu Qingping, the chairman of Liu Pharmaceuticals, Li Wannian, the chairman of Qing Kun Group, Zhang Zhou, the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City, and Wang Fengyi, the general manager of the Imperial Hotel, to have lunch together. What do you think?”
Liu Pharmaceuticals, Qing Kun Group, Xiao Wu Wholesale City, the Imperial Hotel … These were all large companies and enterprises worth tens of billions!
If he invited the CEOs of these companies to have a meal together and pulled in some investments, it would be a huge investment of hundreds of millions or even billions!
How many jobs would be created?
Just thinking about it made Song Wenwu’s throat go dry.
“Yes, yes. I’ll contact Leader Zhao right away,” he said hurriedly.
After saying that, Song Wenwu quickly took out his phone and dialed Zhao Jiaqi’s number.
Although Lin Fan had not called the CEOs yet and had only told him about it, Song Wenwu believed that he could call these people over.
He was Lin Fan!
Even if Lin Fan did not manage to get these big businessmen to come over, it did not matter.
Song Wenwu believed that Lin Fan just needed to say that he wanted to have a meal with them and those people would agree.
Leader Zhao would definitely accept the invitation too.
After a while, the call went through.
“Hello?” A dignified voice came from the phone.
“Hello, Leader. This is Song Wenwu.” Song Wenwu said.
“Captain Song, what’s the matter?” Zhao Jiaqi’s tone softened a little when he answered the phone.
Song Wenwu said, “Mr. Lin Fan asked me to invite you to have a meal with Liu Qingping, the chairman of the Liu Pharmaceuticals, Li Wannian, the chairman of Qing Kun Group, Zhang Zhou, the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale City, and Wang Fengyi, the general manager of the Imperial Hotel. Are you free this afternoon? ”
“Oh?” Zhao Jiaqi’s tone immediately became extremely high as he said, “Please tell Mr. Lin that I’m free. Also, if you haven’t booked a hotel yet, I’ll arrange for everyone to go to Qing City Grand Hotel.”
In many big cities, the restaurants named after the city were all top-notch in terms of taste, scale, and class.
Obviously, the Qing City Grand Hotel was one of them.
Song Wenwu put the phone aside and whispered, “Mr. Lin, the leader asked if you’ve booked a restaurant? If you haven’t, he’ll arrange for everyone to go to Qing City Grand Hotel.”
Lin Fan said, “Alright, then I’ll have to trouble Leader Zhao.”
Hence, Song Wenwu relayed Lin Fan’s words to Leader Zhao.
At this point, the call ended.
After the meeting ended, Lin Fan took out his phone and dialed Liu Yuhang’s number.
“Yuhang, are you and your dad still in Qing City?” Lin Fan asked.
“We’re still here. We’re going back to Jiangbei in the afternoon. Brother Lin Fan, what’s the matter?”
Liu Yuhang seemed to have heard the seriousness in Lin Fan’s tone, so he did not shout around like he usually did.
Lin Fan said, “That’s great. I want to have lunch with you guys.”
“Okay! My dad and I will definitely be there on time,” Liu Yuhang said.
In fact, they had a lunch appointment with a medicinal herb merchant in Qing City.
That was why they wanted to return to Jiangbei in the afternoon.
However, how could a small medicinal herb merchant compare to Lin Fan?
Liu Yuhang did not even think about it and agreed with Lin Fan.
Then, Lin Fan dialed the numbers of Li Wannian, the chairman of Qing Kun Group, Zhang Zhou, the chairman of Xiao Wu Wholesale Market, and Wang Fengyi, the general manager of the Imperial Hotel.
Like Liu Yuhang, the three of them agreed without hesitation.
After all, Lin Fan was their real boss.
If the boss invited his subordinate to a meal, he had to go even if the sky was raining knives.
Lin Fan said, “Alright, I’ve already arranged everything.”
After four phone calls, he easily made an appointment with four CEOs of billion-dollar companies!
It was as if these four were soldiers waiting for orders at any time.
Instantly, Lin Fan’s position in Song Wenwu’s heart rose a lot.
Lin Fan did not care about it and said, “It’s about time. Old Song, let’s go.”
“Alright, alright… We’ll go over,” Song Wenwu stuttered.
Lin Fan had just taken two steps forward when he realized that Huang De was not following him. He stopped and said, “Huang De, why aren’t you coming?”
“What? I… Do I have to go over too?” Huang De said somewhat stiffly.
He was already so shocked by what was happening in front of him that he could not control himself.
“These big entrepreneurs are all gathering together because of your suggestion. If you don’t go, who will?” Lin Fan smiled.
Everyone, including Song Wenwu, looked at Huang De with envy.
They understood that Lin Fan wanted to give all the credit to Huang De.
If the dinner later really reached an investment of hundreds of millions or even billions…
Huang De would have a meteoric rise!
