Reborn as a Noble’s Son - Chapter 462
Chapter 462: Chapter 432 Are you the Mayor?_1
On the surface, Soros seemed quite certain, but within, he was somewhat fearful and uneasy. This wasn’t some kind of special ability, but simply the acuity and vigilance developed by a top individual long wielding influence in the financial field.
At this moment, Clerk burst into the office, which slightly annoyed Soros. Clerk, as his assistant, had always been stable, so why was he acting like this today? In a deep voice, he said, “Clerk, my god, what’s happening? Is there a fire?”
Clerk seemed very urgent, anxiously saying, “It’s been eaten up, all eaten up.”
Hearing Clerk’s words, Soros sat down with a heavy voice, “Clerk, pass on my orders. The short positions on the index, clear them immediately. Close out as many as you can. We have already lost.”
At this point, to continue the struggle was meaningless. Soros was not the kind of person who can’t afford to lose. Grabbing the phone, he conveyed his intentions to other major players of the international hot money. For a moment, the capital started to become chaotic, everyone was looking out for themselves, trying to recoup their losses.
On Nie Zhenbang’s side, seeing this, he let out a sigh of relief, his fist clenched tightly. At this moment, after completing this battle, Nie Zhenbang also had a lingering sense of fear in his heart. One mishap, and his future could be completely ruined. With the Nie family’s current generation, expecting to rise again would be a hope for the next generation. But fortunately, they had won this time.
In the next few days, the stock index continued to rise. After a week, the stock index stood back above 8200 points. The exchange rate also held steady at 7.5 to 1. By this time, it could finally come to an end.
At this moment, Han Qi also entered the operations room. Looking at Nie Zhenbang, he had lost the tension he had twenty days ago, and casually said, “Mr. Nie, just now, I received a phone call from Mr. Li Chao and other bigwigs from Donggang. The Donggang Special Administrative Government, as well as the business community, have prepared a victory banquet and invite you to attend.”
Nie Zhenbang didn’t hesitate at this moment. After the completion of the battle, he returned to his identity as the Mayor of the Liangxi Municipal People’s Government. As a mayor, the most important job is to develop the economy of Liangxi City. Isn’t this a rare opportunity to attract investment?
He nodded immediately, “There is no problem on my part. Since it’s an invitation from the special zone government, as the representative of the central working group, it’s natural to attend. The victory belongs not only to the Donggang Government but also to Huaxia.”
August 9th.
The ballroom of the governor’s mansion of the Donggang Special Administrative Government. At this moment, the most high-profile banquet in Donggang was being held here. It can be said that the most influential people in Donggang had gathered here.
Outside the mansion, it seemed to have become a luxury car exhibition, with Mercedes-Benz S600, BMW 7 series, Rolls-Royce Silver Charm series. Bentley, stretched Lincoln and various other top luxury brands all lined up, dozens in total.
In the banquet hall, the tower of champagne flute was yet to be filled with champagne. It was empty and sparkling. Quite an eye-catcher.
Nie Zhenbang’s car arrived at the entrance of the governor’s mansion, Chief Executive Tong, Li Chao, Mr. Bao, Li Estate and other big names in the business and political circles of the local harbor had all come out to greet them. This caused the socialite ladies who came to the banquet to look sideways. Who was this person that was being greeted personally by the bigwigs from the harbor? Could this be a high-ranking official from the mainland government?
An inconspicuous car, the door opened, and Nie Zhenbang’s figure appeared in everyone’s sight. This surprised the celebrities present.
“So young, who is he that even the Chief Executive and Li Chao have come out in person to greet him?”
Someone who knew the context explained with a smile, “This is the man who saved Donggang and defeated the international capital. This level of reception, he truly deserves.”
At this moment, Chief Executive Tong also began to speak in his strange Mandarin. “Leader Nie, welcome, welcome. You have come to Donggang, and we should have entertained you sooner. Please forgive the delay.”
Chief Executive Tong could become the first Chief Executive of the Donggang Special Zone, naturally, he also had a keen political insight. His words were watertight, showing a humble attitude first. It’s not easy for a person who cares about formalities to get angry. After all, one does not slap a smiling face. Moreover, Nie Zhenbang originally was not a petty person. He also smiled and said, “Chief Executive Tong is being too courteous. Zhenbang is just here to assist the Donggang government as per the central committee’s assignment. This time, the Donggang government has shown a strong cohesiveness. This victory belongs to everyone, not just me.”
This humble statement won the favor of the wealthy people of Donggang. Mr. Bao also sighed, “Young man, you’re incredible.”
Next, Nie Zhenbang shook hands with Li Chao, Mr. Bao, Mr. Shao, Li Estate, and other people one by one. Under the crowd’s watch, he entered the banquet hall.
On the side, a waiter had already prepared a large jug of champagne. Opening the champagne, Chief Executive Tong and Nie Zhenbang together poured the champagne into the champagne pyramid. Starting with pouring wine into the glass at the very top, they let the champagne slowly flow into the glasses below, until, in the end, all the glasses were filled.
