Chapter 2673 Somewhat Redundant

Qian Guowei sighed, "If Liu Bo really died of natural causes, this matter will be difficult to handle."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Don't rush to draw conclusions before the final moment... I will send a comrade to assist the provincial department in examining Liu Bo's body. You must protect her identity and prevent others from discovering anything wrong."

Qian Guowei said: "Okay, that comrade should be very powerful, right?"

Liu Fusheng said, "Well, she's from the Ministry of Public Security, her name is Sun Jing."

The incident happened suddenly, and Liu Fusheng had to treat it with caution. He could sense that Liu Bo's sudden death was definitely not an accident. If Tang Shaoying did not do it, then it must have been someone else who did it.

As for who this person is, Liu Fusheng had a vague guess in his mind. This guess was the "good variable" he and Du Fang had talked about.

Of course, this variable cannot bring immediate benefits to Liu Fusheng, and he still faces many problems now.

At the level of eastern Guangdong, Tang Shaoying was pressing him step by step. The Wei Qishan incident was just one of them. The gambling agreement between Chaojiang area and foreign businessmen was also being followed up in real time. Tang Shaoying often brought up this matter at the Standing Committee meeting, asking about its progress and putting pressure on Liu Fusheng and the leading cadres around him.

Now, among the provincial standing committee members, Xie Zhenqi, who most supports Liu Fusheng, is temporarily unable to perform his duties and his voice has been reduced to the lowest point.

On the military side, at the suggestion of Xie Zhenqi, Chief of General Staff Wang Jianping was temporarily in charge of military affairs.

After the incident jointly reported by the Xie Marshal Memorial Hall, Wang Jianping had already proved his position, so when the Xie family asked Liu Fusheng for his opinion, Liu Fusheng also expressed his agreement.

At the same time, news came from Yangcheng that Sun Hai and Zhao Youzhi had already agreed on everything, and Li Caesar would come in person next month to sign an investment agreement with Liu Fusheng.

Time flies. Liu Fusheng met the business delegation led by Li Caesar and Zhao Youzhi in the government conference room in Guangzhou.

Li Caesar was very enthusiastic. He took the initiative to shake hands with Liu Fusheng and said, "Hello, leader. When I was in the Federation, I really wanted to get to know you, but I also knew that you were too busy with work at that time and probably didn't have much time to interact with me."

Liu Fusheng smiled slightly. This Li Caesar wanted to gain the upper hand as soon as they met - he mentioned that he and Liu Fusheng had met before, in order to bring the relationship closer, and showed enough friendliness and enthusiasm, and even said that he had no time to deal with him.

When he was in the Federation, Li Caesar once gave Liu Fusheng his business card, but Liu Fusheng did not contact him on his own initiative.

Now that East Guangdong wants to attract investment, Liu Fusheng has invited Li Caesar to come over. In this kind of meeting, Liu Fusheng must be the one who is embarrassed.

Generally speaking, according to Li Caesar's words, Liu Fusheng should express an apologetic attitude.

But both parties are aiming for cooperation. If you make an apology before the cooperation has even begun, then the initiative must be handed over to the other party.

With just a few words, Li Caesar was able to control the pace of the negotiations. This guy's ability is truly remarkable.

However, Liu Fusheng certainly cannot do things at his own pace.

"With Mr. Li's words, I feel more assured about the cooperation we are about to achieve."

Li Caesar's expression froze slightly, because Liu Fusheng did not fall into the trap, but instead defeated him.

What Liu Fusheng wanted to express was that your Li family has long wanted to cooperate with the government of eastern Guangdong, but just couldn't find a way. Now I am giving you this opportunity, you must cherish it.

Li Caesar took a deep breath and smiled as he seated the host and the guest.

Zhao Youzhi, standing nearby, spoke first, "On behalf of the Caesar Group and our Zhixiong Group, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Yuedong Provincial Government and the Yangcheng Municipal Government for their warm invitation. I can see that Yuedong is showing great enthusiasm and sincerity this time."

"We will also hold investment negotiations with all leaders with full sincerity. We hope we can reach an agreement as soon as possible and help Guangzhou's economic development reach a higher level."

These words were written in a speech script. Zhao Youzhi had recited them privately countless times, and now when he spoke them in public, he sounded quite convincing.

Sun Hai smiled and said, "Before I express my welcome to all the entrepreneurs, I would like to correct Mr. Zhao on something. Our current cooperation is no longer limited to Yangcheng and Zhixiong Group. It has been upgraded to a cooperation between the Guangdong East Provincial Government and Caesar Group."

"In other words, I represent the Department of Commerce of East Guangdong Province, Liu Sheng is the main person in charge, and your representative is Mr. Li from Caesar Group."

As soon as the words fell, there was a slight commotion in the conference room.

The Yangcheng government representatives were particularly stunned. How could the negotiations have escalated to a provincial level? Could it be that this time they were trying to attract investment beyond just Yangcheng? If so, what were we even doing here?

Li Caesar frowned slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. No matter who he cooperated with, as long as he could make money, it didn't make much difference. What's more, it would definitely be more prestigious to directly connect with the provincial leaders.

At this moment, Zhao Youzhi remembered Tang Shaoxiong's plan, which was to instigate the relationship between Yang Qinghe and Liu Fusheng.

So, he said seriously, "I thank the leaders of East Guangdong Province for their attention to us, but at present, our Zhixiong Group and Caesar Group are only interested in investing in Guangzhou. We also hope to communicate with the leaders of the relevant departments in Guangzhou. As for other cities in the province, we will discuss it later when there is an opportunity."

His words immediately won the favor of many Guangzhou leaders. They had to be large enterprises from Hong Kong Island, with vision and responsibility. What they said was what they meant. They were investing in Guangzhou in the first place. Raising it to the provincial level and distributing the money to other cities was a joke, wasn't it?

Liu Fusheng said with a smile: "I heard that Zhixiong Group has reached a strategic cooperation agreement with Pengcheng, and the scale of investment is also very large. If your investment is limited to Yangcheng, what will happen to the previous agreement?"

Li Caesar narrowed his eyes and said, "Leader, you are in charge of economic development and are of course responsible for the entire province's economy, but we are pure businessmen and will only invest in projects that interest us. I don't want any additional conditions in this negotiation. Otherwise, I think there is no need to continue the negotiation."

Zhao Youzhi also nodded and said, "Yes, Vice Governor Liu, Mayor Sun and I have already negotiated the specific terms. Yangcheng needs a shot in the arm to boost its economy. If Mayor Sun hadn't shown enough sincerity, not only the Caesar Group, but even the Zhixiong Group wouldn't come to invest."

They sang the same tune and immediately set up a fight between Sun Hai and Yang Cheng.

Guangzhou needs investment to boost the economy and guarantee Sun Hai's promise. If you, Liu Fusheng, have other opinions, then let's not talk about it.

Sure enough, Sun Hai's expression changed slightly, and he tilted his head to look at Liu Fusheng.

Liu Fusheng pondered in silence, as if weighing the pros and cons.

After a moment, he said, "Well, since Caesar Group wants to invest in Yangcheng, then have a good talk with Mayor Sun. My participation in the negotiation today is a bit redundant."
