The leaders of Shuzhen were having a meeting in the conference room, discussing how the government should cooperate with their work after the relocation of the mythical beasts of Kyushu.

As the town mayor was making his final summary, a clerk suddenly walked in from the meeting room door and headed towards the mayor and the town mayor.

"Town Secretary, Mayor, we just received a call from the county government. They want you to come to the county for a meeting immediately."

Judging from what they're saying, it seems to be related to mythical beasts.

Could it be that the county doesn't approve of their company moving here?

The clerk asked the two leaders a question, completely unaware that his words were somewhat presumptuous.

In rural towns, the hierarchical relationship is not very clear. In many cases, all you need to do to be a town leader is be able to drink.

"The mayor and I are going to the county. You guys continue the discussion, especially about the substation; you need to be prepared for a power outage!"

After finishing his speech, the town magistrate turned to look at the mayor, and the two left together, while the meeting continued in the conference room.

The town leaders were summoned to the county, and the county leaders not only summoned the two people from Shuzhen, but also the leaders from the development zone management committee.

At this point, it is essential to coordinate the two units below; otherwise, if trouble arises, it will be difficult for everyone to look good.

Such coordination meetings are also a challenge for the county, as they are related to each county's performance record!

At the Beiping High-Speed ​​Railway Station, the equipment management director of the Antarctic expedition team boarded the high-speed train heading south with just a bag on his back.

After getting in the car, he took out a notebook from his bag, on which he wrote down his itinerary and the motorcycle manufacturers he would be visiting.

Our first stop is Sichuan, a hub for the motorcycle industry, home to companies like Jialing, Loncin, Zongshen, and Jianshe.

In the end, they decided on Kyushu Mythical Beasts, located in Dongshan. Although he had already inspected these motorcycle companies before, he thought, what if they had new technologies?

So we still have to make this trip, and Dongshan is the closest place to Beiping, so we can stop there on the way back and take a look!

To be honest, he didn't have much hope for White Tiger Motorcycle.

Even though there are many introductions about them online, he believes that they are just exaggerated claims by the manufacturers.

And so he began his journey, starting in a major motorcycle-producing province.

Hongdu's salesman came out of Quancheng Airport, took a taxi on the way, and chartered a car to Jiuzhou Shenshou Company.

The taxi from Jinan stopped at the entrance of the Nine Provinces Divine Beasts. The clerk took out his phone and dialed the number Yan Hang had given him before he came.

Li Zhenhua, who was operating the machining center in the workshop, felt his cell phone vibrate in his pocket, but he didn't hear it ring.

He took it out and looked at it, but didn't recognize the number. Following his usual habit, he hung up.

Next, focus your attention on the machining center, where you can see the parts being processed through the transparent cover.

His phone rang again soon. He saw it was the same number and suddenly wondered if it was the same call Yan Hang had made to him last time.

When he answered the phone and heard what the other person said, he felt speechless.

It's as if he has a grudge against Hongdu Factory. Last time Yan Hang called him, he thought it was a harassing call. Unexpectedly, this time, the salesman from Hongdu Factory was hung up on by him again.

The other party had already arrived at the company entrance, so he called Liu Xiaodong directly and told him to let him receive them, as he would be there shortly.

He wasn't showing off; the workpiece in front of him wasn't finished yet, and if he stopped midway, the accuracy of the workpiece would definitely be affected during the restart process.

He could only meet people after he finished processing the workpiece and turned off the machine.

More than ten minutes later, the workpiece was finally finished. It was then removed from the fixture and placed on a rack.

He turned off the machine and then walked towards Liu Xiaodong's office, still wearing his oil-stained work clothes.

Before even entering, I could hear Liu Xiaodong speaking loudly from inside.

He pushed the door open with his foot, went inside, and headed straight for the sink.

Seeing his appearance, Liu Xiaodong was not surprised at all.

The salesman from Hongdu Factory also stood up and called out to him.

"Mr. Li!"

Li Zhenhua looked at the salesman from Hongdu Factory. He recognized him as one of the salesmen from the group that had gone to Canada with him before.

"Oh, you're Tao Xin, right? What happened to you? You're no longer in sales? You've switched to purchasing?"

He asked the people of Hongdu while washing his hands.

"Haha, Mr. Li, I'm still in sales. The company was worried that a stranger wouldn't be able to communicate well with you, so they sent me instead!"

After washing their hands, they sat down on the sofa and started chatting.

"Hua Zi, Manager Tao just said that this time they will place an order for a total of 1,000 engines with Tao, including 700 1.2L engines and 300 1.8L engines."

As Liu Xiaodong spoke, he handed him the purchase order he was holding.

He took the order, glanced at it briefly, and asked Tao Xin in front of him.

"How many orders did Hongdu receive in total? You actually placed an order for a thousand units! That's a full five hundred aircraft!"

The number of orders puzzled him; he didn't understand why there were so many. Tao Xin immediately explained it to them.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Liu, it's like this, we received orders for a total of 412 aircraft at this year's Airshow China."

One hundred of them were initially ordered by Prince Ahmed, and 112 more were placed in smaller, scattered orders later.

After the airshow, our Chief Designer Yan arranged to present a fully renovated aircraft to Prince Ahmed.

Prince Ahmed immediately took a test flight with our aircraft, and after his experience, he ordered another 300 the following day.

The final order quantity was 412 aircraft, so this order included 1,000 engines.

Listening to the other person's detailed explanation, he understood the reason and developed even greater respect for Old Master Yan.

I didn't expect the old man to be so clever, actually setting such a heavy bait for the other party, he was really willing to do it!

At this moment, he seemed to have discovered something important. What had the other party just called that camel? Prince Ahmed. He must have heard correctly.

"Tao Xin, I just heard you mention Prince Ahmed? He's a prince?"

"Yes, Mr. Liu, didn't he tell you his full name back then? Chief Engineer Yan looked it up after he got back, the meaning of Arabic names."

The title, Emir, is the first thing he is given. In Arabic, it means prince, royal, or chieftain.

When they met again later, Chief Engineer Yan confirmed with him that he was indeed a prince.

As Liu Xiaodong was chatting with Tao Xin, just as he was about to sign the purchase contract, Liu Xiaodong pressed his hand down.

"Why don't we wait a few days to sign? Let's gather all the factory employees together."

Signing the contract in front of everyone gives them something to look forward to and motivates them to work harder!

What do you think?

He didn't even consider whether Tao Xin agreed or not, and directly approved Liu Xiaodong's proposal.

This can be seen as him using his position to intimidate others, and it's also a response to the fact that their factory used him last time in Hongdu.

"That's good, let's do it this way. It'll just be a bit of a hassle for Manager Tao to stay with us for a few more days."

And so the matter was settled. Tao Xin originally thought this was just a delivery of an order, but he didn't expect it to be taken away so easily.

After leaving the mythical beast of Kyushu and returning to his hotel, he called his superior and explained everything that had happened.

In the county meeting room, many county leaders were also trying to mediate the fight.

Just now, two subordinate units almost came to blows over the site of the Kyushu Divine Beast factory.

The development zone doesn't want to release people, while Shuzhen wants them—they are natural opposites.

The mayor of Shuzhen muttered a sarcastic remark, which was overheard by the development zone, and the two sides started arguing.

The county officials could only mediate, and the magistrate, seeing the endless arguments between the two sides that never touched on any real issues, grew furious.

The magistrate slammed his right hand hard on the table, causing the teacup on the table to jump and spill water.

"Stop arguing, I was hoping you could resolve this peacefully."

But now I see you're not talking about anything serious, so just leave it at that.

The county government took charge, and the location of their factory was decided in Shuzhen, as I mentioned.

How does the county magistrate feel?

After speaking, he turned his gaze to the county magistrate. It was always the Party that commanded the gun, so the county magistrate naturally had to consult the Party before deciding on his own gun.

"You are the magistrate, so your decision is the final word. I think the magistrate's decision is very good, and it will save you from arguing!"

"Then let's vote by raising our hands. Those who agree with the county magistrate's proposal, raise your left hand; those who disagree, raise your right hand and make a fist. Let's begin!"

After the county clerk finished speaking, he immediately raised his left hand, and the county magistrate did the same.

With both top leaders having raised their hands in agreement, how could the subordinates possibly voice any dissenting opinions?

Then just like the other two, raise your left hand.

It's quite common for the county magistrate and the county clerk to reach a consensus.

Everyone present raised their left hands, even the two parties involved, who were feeling frustrated, raised their left hands to indicate their agreement.

The leaders on both sides of the development zone and Shuzhen were all in a helpless state.

Unexpectedly, the county benefited from the quarrel between the two families, and a sense of shared misfortune emerged between them.

After receiving a unanimous vote, the county magistrate said to Magistrate Peng, "Magistrate Peng, this matter will now be handled by you, the deputy magistrate in charge of industry."

"If you have any problems in the future, come directly to me and the county magistrate for resolution."

What was originally a discussion about relocating people from Kyushu has now become an unstoppable trend.

Furthermore, the management rights were handed over to the higher authorities, leaving neither the development zone nor the town with any management authority—two losers.

The management authority has been determined, meaning the county has the final say. Since the Nine Provinces Divine Beasts (a mythical creature) intends to develop in a larger area...

The county agreed to the plan and also presented the map of the land plots favored by the mythical beasts of the Nine Provinces submitted by Shuzhen for discussion at the meeting.

In the past few days, Li Zhenhua and his colleagues have also received the county's approval for their relocation.

They have also made all the arrangements for signing the order contract and are just waiting for the ceremony to take place!

At the Kyushu Divine Beasts Company, the open space was filled with tables, chairs, and benches. The county had also sent a local television station, and Deputy County Magistrate Peng, who was in charge of industry, had also come here.
