Rebirth of the Rising Sun

As expected, Alwaleed immediately cooperated after Bai Caixia said this, "It's only natural for a brother to be close to his sister. How could I be jealous? I won't, I won't. What I hate most is eating that thing. It's too sour, haha."

Alwaleed's silly smile startled Feng Sizhe. He was the future heir of the Aqid Group, after all. How could he be so good-tempered? Could it be that Bai Caixia was too powerful and gave him the symptom of being controlled by his wife? But that shouldn't be the case. The Middle East is a patriarchal society. Generally, men with some status would marry several women. This is obvious from this point of view. But why was Alwaleed so obedient and even gave him a respectful feeling?

Who is Feng Sizhe? He is a smart man. It is not easy to hide things from him. He just thought about it briefly, and when he saw Bai Caixia's arrogant look, he seemed to have thought of the answer. He asked, "Why? Did you tell him about your brother?"

"Yeah." Bai Caixia had no intention of hiding this from Feng Sizhe, and there was nothing to hide. "Yes, I told him. Otherwise, I'm afraid he would be dissatisfied with our investment in Ducheng Province."

Listening to Bai Caixia's explanation, Feng Sizhe nodded and said, "Well, just tell it. Anyway, your brother's affairs are no longer a secret. Maybe it won't be long before he returns to China."

Bai Caixia's eyes lit up when she heard Feng Sizhe say this. "What? My brother is going back to China too? Is he going back to China to invest?"

In recent years, Bai Zhifei was commissioned by Feng Sizhe to go to Country E. He stayed there for many years. In order to make his career go smoothly, all the information about him in the country was integrated and destroyed. Gradually, this person was forgotten. Even Bai Caixia, the biological sister, wanted to visit her brother several times, but was stopped by Feng Sizhe. There was only one reason, that is, if someone went to see Bai Zhifei now, it would hinder his plan.

Thinking that her brother must have gone to do great things, Bai Caixia missed him very much, but she had to bear it. Now when she heard Feng Sizhe say that her brother might be coming back soon, how could she not be excited? That was her brother who had depended on her since childhood.

Feeling Bai Caixia's body trembling slightly in his arms, Feng Sizhe couldn't help but pat her body gently, "Okay, cry for a while if you want to. Your brother has indeed paid too much this time, but it is undeniable that what he has done is worth it. He has even made great contributions to the country. He is great."

"Yeah." Listening to Feng Sizhe's praise for her brother, Bai Caixia kept nodding her head, affirming his words.

After crying for a while, Bai Caixia's emotions finally stabilized. Then the three of them sat down in their seats and began to talk about the cooperation between the two sides.

It was not until this matter was discussed that Alwaleed was able to get a word in. "Governor Feng, should I call you that?"

Feng Sizhe smiled and said, "Of course."

"Okay, then I'll tell you. I've read your province's preparation materials. There are a few items I don't quite understand and I'd like to ask Governor Feng for a reasonable explanation." Alwaleed said with a very serious attitude. No matter how these people usually get along, when it comes to business, they are all very serious. This is a characteristic of people born in the family. No matter when and where, the family's interests are always put first.

"Of course, feel free to ask any questions you have." Feng Sizhe still said with a smile. Zhang Yang's prepared materials were basically his own ideas, so if there were any questions, he certainly had the right to answer them.

"Okay, then Governor Feng, you said in your report that we can invest in any field in your province except for the state-protected industries, and we have absolute operating rights. Is this true?" Alwaleed's facial expression did not change when he asked this question, but he was actually very excited in his heart, because when Chang Sun Zhi reported this matter to him, he was also shocked.

According to his own understanding, in all industries invested in the Republic, especially those cooperating with the government, basically few businesses have independent management rights. Generally speaking, they are half and half with the government, that is, the decision-making power of a matter belongs to the government and the investors. The benefit of this is that it can curb the power of the merchants to the greatest extent to prevent them from doing anything out of line. Although many merchants are dissatisfied with this, they have to accept such conditions. As the saying goes, when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. But now the Capital Province has indeed set a precedent, which means that in the future, the investment of the Aqid Consortium in the Capital Province will finally have independence, and they can make their own decisions. This can be said to be a breakthrough.

Of course, small businessmen can make their own decisions on investment, but because they do not cooperate with the government, they cannot get many projects. If they can cooperate with the government, they can basically get big projects, and they can have independent management rights in these big projects, which is really the dream of many businesses.

After Alwaleed asked this question, his heart was in suspense. He was really afraid that Feng Sizhe would answer at this time that it was just a joke and should not be taken seriously. If that was the case, then he would be happy in vain. For the sake of his wife Bai Caixia, especially for the sake of Tangsheng International Group, he still had to invest in Ducheng Province. If that was the case, all he could do was to reduce the investment amount as much as possible. Anyway, I have invested, and you should not force me to tell you how much.

Feng Sizhe still smiled like the wind. "Yes, Mr. Alwaleed, I can tell you clearly that all of this is true. Of course, there is a prerequisite, that is, the government will not invest a penny. What we invest in is the policy and the government's credibility. At the same time, on the surface, we must have at least 51% of absolute controlling rights. This point must also be shown in the documents, and our people also need to know this."

Feng Sizhe's words were not superfluous, but must be said. Although he had already approved of this plan, it did not mean that others would agree. If the Chinese people knew that the government had lost the right to operate, some people would become suspicious and would take radical actions. If so, then the problem would be really serious. After all, in China, stability always comes first.

"Of course, of course." Alwaleed nodded repeatedly to Feng Sizhe's supplement. These were originally agreed upon in advance, so he was naturally aware of it. Now that he finally got the definite answer from Young Master Feng, he was of course a little excited. But even so, he still felt like he was in a dream, and he couldn't help but ask, "Governor Feng, you have to keep your word. Otherwise, if things are confirmed and you want to change them, I won't be able to explain to the family."

"What are you talking about? Would my brother Sizhe lie to you?" Bai Caixia got angry when she heard this, and stared at her husband with her beautiful big eyes.

"Yes, yes, Governor Feng is definitely not that kind of person. I just overthink it." Alwaleed lost his temper immediately after seeing his wife get angry. Ever since he knew that Bai Caixia's brother was the boss of E Country's Feida Bank, a bank in a rival country of the rich country, he felt that he was inferior to her. There was nothing he could do about it. Who told him that he was no match for her in terms of financial resources?

Seeing Alwaleed being so lowly and even submissive in front of Bai Caixia, Feng Sizhe felt amused in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud. "Don't worry, I always keep my word, I can guarantee this."

Thinking that Feng Sizhe is not only the head of a province, but also the heir of Tangsheng Group who can succeed at any time, Alwaleed nodded quickly. Yes, who is that person? Would he joke with him like this?

With this premise, both sides naturally felt much more comfortable in the talks. Next, they talked about the areas of investment of the Aqid Group in the Capital Province and some specific details. It can be said that this cooperation has become a foregone conclusion.

The next morning, Feng Sizhe did not show up at the Century Hotel because he had more important things to do. At this moment, Young Master Alwaleed began to show up openly. He even told Comrade Shi Qing, the Deputy Minister of Commerce and the person in charge of the reception, that he had something important to announce and hoped to hold a press conference to show his seriousness.

Shi Qing naturally guessed what Alwaleed meant. He thought that the investment issue of the Alwaleed Group had been confirmed. This was also the top priority of his work at this time. He certainly would not refuse. At his call, he immediately began to notify various newspapers.

The incident was immediately known to Hou Weidong, acting governor of Sanxiang Province, who was staying at the Century Hotel day and night.

When he received the news, he was a little depressed at first, and then he was ecstatic. He was depressed because the Aqid Consortium had made such a big decision, why didn't they inform him in advance so that he could be prepared? He was ecstatic because the matter was finally settled, and he could put his heart at ease.

In Hou Weidong's opinion, the province that could cooperate with Aqide was of course Sanxiang Province where he was. Apart from himself, there seemed to be only one delegation from Ducheng Province in the Century Hotel, and the head of that delegation was just a secretary general of the provincial government, whose function was not as high as that of an ordinary vice governor. How could he take this person seriously? Thinking that he was about to hold a press conference and announce this decision that was beneficial to him, Hou Dashao raced against time to use his power to find more reporters. He wanted to use this incident to hype himself up and let everyone know how capable he was. He had just taken office in Sanxiang Province and had won such a big project. This achievement was definitely the most influential.
