Chapter 763: Chapter 719: Dongying People Making Trouble_1
The arrogance of the people from Dongying, the feeling that they snub everyone else, was sothing that Nie Zhenbang had witnessed before. There existed a well-known saying amongst them. They would use top-quality products themselves, send second-rate products to Europe and Arica, and sell third-rate products to Huaxia.
Nie Zhenbang chose not to comnt on the countless casualties that the war had inflicted upon his people, resulting from the relationship between Dongying and Huaxia.
Since the inception of the economic reforms, foreign investnt has been pouring into the country. The various investnts made by people from Dongying on the mainland almost always yielded successful returns. This trend nurtured their condescending characterization unknowingly
However, such attitudes were bound to fail when confronted by Nie Zhenbang. At this mont, the excessively presumptuous views expressed by the representative from Sumitomo Corporation caused visible displeasure amongst the attendants, especially Tang Bingquan and Lu Chengdong. The words uttered by him were a direct insult to Governor Nie.
Tang Bingquan imdiately rose to his feet and said, “Mr. Kada, you need to mind your language. This is Comrade Nie Zhenbang, our governor of Bashu Province.”
But Tang Bingquan’s words had no effect on Mr. Kada from Sumitomo Corporation. With a look of utter disdain on his face, he said to Nie Zhenbang, “Governor, I, Kada Nobu, am formally protesting to you on behalf of Sumitomo Corporation of Dongying. We had already reached a verbal agreent with the Red Star Factory. Now, you are defaulting on your promises, and you will have to bear all the resulting consequences.”
...
At this point, Nie Zhenbang appeared unperturbed, ignoring his comnts altogether. He sternly said, “What is happening with the Public Security Bureau of the City? How did they allow these irrelevant people to barge into this eting. Secretary Bingquan, I suggest so thorough housekeeping at Tianfu City Public Security Bureau. This eting is convened by the governor’s office, in other words, it’s a governnt discussion eting. How can these irrelevant individuals be allowed to barge in? Is there no order left in our governnt operations? Soone get these people out of here imdiately.”
Tang Bingquan understood, Nie Zhenbang was rely using this situation to take a dig. The ntion of restructuring the Municipal Public Security Bureau was nothing but an excuse. The real objective was to get these Dongying attendants kicked out.
Imdiately, he nodded and ordered, “Li Jianwu, arrange for the city police to escort these people out.”
With that command from the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Li Jianwu, the Vice Mayor and concurrently the Director of Tianfu City Public Security Bureau, felt as if he had been handed the ultimate authority. Everyone championed against the people from Dongying. Originally from the Army, Li Jianwu disapproved of their audacity, especially their disregard for the Governor of an entire province. Now, with this command, he would imdiately spring into action. Even if there was a diplomatic dispute or an incident, and even if the sky fell, soone taller would hold it up. With Governor Nie present today, he would be the one to deal with the consequences first.
Imdiately, Li Jianwu gave a signal, and the few policen standing nearby quickly sward in and lead Kada Nobu and his companions towards the exit.
At that mont, Kada Nobu was confounded. Throughout his ti in Huaxia, he was accustod to the local governnt and officials bending over backwards for Dongying investors. Being a representative of Sumitomo Corporation stationed in Huaxia, he had a deep understanding of the Huaxia system. He knew that for local governnts, attracting foreign investnt was a significant achievent and key selling point. Hence, Kada Nobu developed an air of haughtiness based on their constant appeasent, regardless of their status.

However, this sudden move by Nie Zhenbang left Kada Nobu speechless. He was filled with fury. He began to rant, uttering a series of fluent sentences in Japanese.
The translator by his side ticulously translated his words, “This is a gross act of betrayal on all your parts. I am going to report this incident. I am going to ensure that all the officials of Bashu Province are disgraced. You all just wait, a ti will co when you will have to beg .”
His words made Nie Zhenbang’s expression darken. As he heard the frustrating shouts echoing through the hallway, he sternly said, “Outrageous! My grandfather was able to force you Dongying invaders to surrender. Today, I, Nie Zhenbang, am eager to see what tricks you can pull.”
These words made quite an impact, especially on Tang Bingquan and Lu Chengdong. Tang Bingquan looked startled, wondering how he could have forgotten about the prestigious lineage of the man in front of him, who was from an authentic and truly revolutionary background.

Room 1701, Block A, 17th Floor, Limin Building, Tianfu City
This is the location of the Tianfu City Office of Sumitomo Corporation.
At this mont, within the office, Kada Nobu was furious, smashing the complete set of purple clay tea ware on the table to the ground.
anwhile, Kawakawa Keiji, the acting Section Chief of Sumitomo Corporation’s Tianfu City Office, stood upright next to him. He spoke up in a low voice, “Sir, since the officials of Bashu Province are being so arrogant, I suggest we inform the dia in our country and Huaxia about this incident. Then, we should release a press statent stating that we have been unjustly treated and have decided to pull out from this investnt.”
Pausing for a mont, Kawakawa Keiji continued, “Without us, the people of Huaxia certainly won’t be able to succeed with their technology. At that point, the dia will exert imnse pressure on them. Moreover, we can join forces with our national enterprises to pressure them further, eventually making them admit their mistake.”
“Fool!”
As soon as the words fell, Kada Nobu did not hesitate to scold angrily, looking at the sincere and fearful Kawakawa Keiji in front of him. Kada Nobu roared angrily, “Mr. Kawakawa, don’t you know the situation of the Red Star Factory? The existing technical strength and equipnt of this factory, if we can acquire it, will play a crucial role in our company’s layout in Huaxia. It will be able to conquer the previously untapped market for phenol acetone and bisphenol A in Huaxia. By announcing our withdrawal, are you trying to cause a huge loss to the company?”
“Ah! You’re right to criticize, Mr. Kada. Kawakawa was reckless.”
At this mont, Kada Nobu seed thoughtful, and his whole person cooled down. He nodded and said, “Mr. Kawakawa. Your proposal also has its rits. I think we can defa the Bashu Provincial Governnt and this Nie Zhenbang through the dia. Then, through the Consulate General of Dongying in Chuzhou, we can protest to the Huaxia governnt. With pressure from both sides, I don’t believe they dare to fight back.”
With these words, Kada Nobu looked serious as if he had been entrusted with a great responsibility. “Mr. Kawakawa. The task of contacting these dia outlets is given to you. I believe that you will not disappoint , nor the company.”
Hearing Kada Nobu’s words, Kawakawa Keiji looked excited at the mont, brought his feet together, and nodded, “Ah! Mr. Kada, please rest assured. This news will definitely appear on all major mainstream dia outlets tomorrow.”
…
“Huaxia Local Governnt Breaks Faith and Abandons Cooperation Agreent!” This was the headline of the largest newspaper in Dongying, Readers News.
Under this large title, they detailed the issue between Bashu’s Red Star Factory and Sumitomo Corporation. In the article, Sumitomo Corporation was depicted as an innocent victim. Sumitomo Corporation was portrayed as the saint rescuing the Red Star Factory. After making a lot of efforts and sacrifices, the Bashu Provincial Governnt unilaterally broke the contract and abandoned Sumitomo Corporation.
As soon as this news was published, it imdiately aroused the interest of major dia in Dongying, and many reporters flocked to interview Sumitomo Corporation’s headquarters.
At the sa ti, dia in Huaxia were also reprinting the original text. At the sa ti, many dia reporters were rushing to Bashu Province.
That’s not all, while this news was making a big splash dostically, the Consulate General of Dongying in Chuzhou also held a press conference at this mont.
The Consul General in Chuzhou, Nishino Hisami, reported in detail the so-called unfair treatnt that Sumitomo Corporation had suffered. On behalf of the Dongying Ministry of Comrce, he lodged a serious protest against Bashu Provincial Governnt and expressed strong dissatisfaction. Moreover, he demanded Bashu Provincial Governnt to imdiately stop this egregious act that hurts Dongying’s business community and clear the obstacles for Sumitomo Corporation’s investnt, ensuring the continued cooperation.
This declaration caused an uproar dostically. The matter has already been reported to the central governnt. At the mont, within the office building of the Bashu Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Governnt. On the fifteenth floor, it was inside Nie Zhenbang’s office.
“Governor, the dostic and foreign dia are all criticizing us. They accused our governnt of not keeping promises and credibility, tearing up the agreent and taking the bridge away after crossing the river. This ti, I’m afraid you’ll have to bear a lot of pressure.” Fang Yuan, the Secretary-General of the provincial governnt, was worried in the face as he stood in front of Nie Zhenbang’s desk.
In the past few days, Fang Yuan, too, had been under a lot of pressure. Reporters from dostic and foreign dia sward to contact the Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Departnt to apply for interviews. However, Qin Linlin, who was skilled at pleasing all sides, would never make a decision on this matter without authorization. As a result, it naturally landed on the Provincial Governnt Office.
Listening to Fang Yuan’s words, Nie Zhenbang seed quite calm. After the Dongying consul Nishino Hisami formally protested to Bashu Province, both Director Shen and Director Leng had called Nie Zhenbang one after another.
Nie Zhenbang also gave a detailed report about the matter to the two leaders. After Director Shen and Director Leng learned about the details of the incident, they gave Nie Zhenbang a word: “Righteous, moderate, neither humble nor arrogant. Handle it properly.”
In the past two days, the reason Nie Zhenbang stayed silent was not because he was afraid of these people. Nie Zhenbang’s principle has always been, if you don’t do it, don’t do it, but if you do, do it thoroughly. At this mont, he was temporarily enduring, and he was also thinking about how to deal with Sumitomo Corporation and how to make Dongying people lose face.
He was about to speak when the phone on his desk rang. The number displayed was familiar; it was from the office of the Provincial Party Secretary, aning it was a call from Zeng Taiping.
Seeing this, Nie Zhenbang imdiately picked up the phone and smiled, “Secretary Zeng. Hello!” (
