Forged in the fires of war: The Qi family's generals rewrite the fate of eastern Hebei.

"I have enough confidence in the foreign investment negotiation conference, and I think a preparatory group should be established for the first Handong Province Foreign Investment Negotiation Conference."

"What do you think of me personally serving as the group leader, with Comrade Yuanming, Comrade Qihang, and Comrade Lichun serving as deputy group leaders?"

After he finished speaking, Secretary Gong's gaze swept across the entire room, exuding an imposing aura without anger.

Jin Zhicheng remained silent, as did Zhou Kaihua.

Wen Qihang took the lead and spoke.

"I support."

"Me too."

"I support it too."

The three deputy team leaders simultaneously expressed their support, and the outcome was now decided.

After leaving the provincial party committee meeting room, Zhou Kaihua and Jin Zhicheng got into the same car.

As soon as the car started, Zhou Kaihua couldn't wait to speak.

"Governor, Secretary Gong's request this time is extremely ambitious!"

Jin Zhicheng was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then sighed.

"Kaihua, attracting investment is not just a matter for our Handong province; it's a national strategy, an unstoppable trend."

"If that's the case, it won't be good for you, Governor?"

“What’s the advantage or disadvantage? As long as it can contribute to the people of Handong, I think it’s all beneficial.”

Jin Zhicheng said this, but as soon as he returned to the governor's office, he immediately instructed his secretary to communicate with some foreign-funded enterprises and absolutely not to participate in foreign business negotiation meetings.

At this point, the foreign business channels that Jin Zhicheng had cultivated over the years came into play. The representatives of these foreign businesses in China were unwilling to offend a provincial governor, so they all agreed.

So much so that when the preparatory team invited these foreign businessmen, their representatives all politely declined.

Ning Yuanming gathered all these matters together and went to the secretary's office to report them.

After finishing his report, Ning Yuanming said somewhat unhappily.

"Secretary, there's no need to even think about it; it must be someone sabotaging us behind the scenes."

Who are these "certain people"? Do I need to spell it out?

"Comrade Yuanming, calm down. As the saying goes, there's always a way out. If we can't get through Europe, we can get through other countries!"

"I refuse to believe it. With tens of millions of people in Handong, those foreign businessmen wouldn't be tempted?"

Even at this moment, Secretary Gong still displayed strong confidence, an attitude that inspired Ning Yuanming, so Ning Yuanming asked.

"Secretary, what should we do next?"

"Alright, I'll handle the rest. You just need to take care of the reception."

The secretary said he would handle it himself, which made Ning Yuanming a little curious. How would the secretary handle it?

After Ning Yuanming left, Secretary Gong first contacted some foreign businessmen in Bianxi, a total of nine companies.

These nine foreign-invested enterprises did not refuse Secretary Gong's invitation and all accepted.

However, nine foreign-invested enterprises are definitely not enough for the foreign investment negotiation conference, especially since this is the first conference, and we must make a name for ourselves.

Therefore, Secretary Gong decided to call in more people.

He wanted to show Jin Zhicheng and his ilk what a dimensional reduction attack really was.

Want to make him submit? That's absolutely impossible.

Secretary Gong dialed Fang Zhenhua's number, and as soon as the call connected, Secretary Gong immediately spoke.

"Old Fang, we need your help again this time."

"What major event has happened that has stumped our Secretary Gong?"

Gong Kaichen chuckled and recounted the events of the first Handong Province Foreign Investment Negotiation Conference, while also highlighting Jin Zhicheng and his group's underhanded tactics.

Secretary Gong knew very well that Lao Fang would be very unhappy if he heard this.

As expected, Fang Zhenhua snorted coldly on the other end of the phone.

"A bunch of scoundrels, tell me! How do you want me to help you?"

"I heard you have some connections in the US. Could you help me find some more foreign companies this time, preferably those with a strong intention to sign contracts?"

How many stores do you need?

How many companies can you attract?

"I'm afraid if I attract attention, it will scare you."

"Haha, I'm a brave person, I'm never afraid of being scared."

"Okay, wait for my news."

Secretary Gong put down the phone, unsure of how many connections Fang Zhenhua could leverage.

But Secretary Gong would never have imagined that Lao Fang would give him such a huge surprise this time.

In the army commander's office, Lao Fang thought about Secretary Gong's matter for a while, then immediately left the army headquarters and took a car outside.

Instead of going anywhere else, he went to the liaison point of the Third Bureau of the General Staff in Handong and made a phone call to someone through their telephone.

Mr. Fok from Hong Kong.

Over the phone, Fang Zhenhua told Huo Sheng about the situation and then asked Huo Sheng to contact Yuri and mobilize all available connections.

Huo Sheng not only readily agreed, but he also assured Fang Zhenhua over the phone that he would organize a delegation of Hong Kong businessmen from Hong Kong Island to go to Handong.

Fang Zhenhua was naturally very grateful for Huo Sheng's kindness.

After Huo Sheng and Yuri made contact, a massive network of connections was mobilized.

Three days later, while Jin Zhicheng and his colleagues were still watching Secretary Gong's performance, the phone of the preparatory group for the first Handong Province Foreign Investment Negotiation Conference was ringing off the hook.

The Hong Kong business community decided to organize a delegation of 22 companies to travel to Handong.

In the United States, there are a total of 47 American-owned companies, including giants such as General Motors, Caterpillar, Johnson & Johnson, HP, and John Deere.

In addition to the United States, 34 companies from the island nation, including Toshiba, Panasonic, and Sony, as well as 16 companies from South Korea, including Samsung and Hyundai, also made calls.

There are a total of 119 foreign-invested enterprises.

About half of them are well-known large companies.

When the preparatory team delivered the list to Secretary Gong, he couldn't help but wipe his glasses.

No wonder Lao Fang told him before that he was worried about scaring him.

After seeing the list, Secretary Gong was not exactly frightened, but he was certainly shocked.

Is Lao Fang really that amazing?

He has such a strong network of connections in the United States, but does he also have connections in Japan and South Korea?

This is not hard to understand. Japan and South Korea share a common parent country, and after Yuri's business expanded in the United States, it became easy for him to enter Japan and South Korea as well.

Global defense and protection umbrellas, and even investments by the "red umbrella" (government-backed entities), have taken root in the United States and are growing rapidly under the protection of certain individuals.

Chapter 179 Tenth Master Takes Flight

Jin Zhicheng originally wanted to teach Secretary Gong a lesson he would never forget, but he never expected that the clown was actually himself.

When the list of so many foreign-invested enterprises was announced, Jin Zhicheng and his team were all dumbfounded.

These people instinctively felt distrust, but they quickly realized something was wrong after thinking about it.

Secretary Gong would never fabricate anything on this kind of issue.

Because Handong has made such a big fuss, it has alarmed the higher-ups, who have decided to send leaders down to attend the first Handong Province Foreign Investment Fair.

Therefore, it is conceivable that Secretary Gong would not fabricate anything.

That means it's not fake, which means the matter is real, and the foreign companies on the list are also real, which makes Jin Zhicheng and his team even more upset.

Secretary Gong naturally didn't care about Jin Zhicheng and his group's thoughts; he had already gotten through to Fang Zhenhua on the phone.

"Old Fang! You've really given me a big surprise this time! I'm actually quite curious, do you have such deep connections in the US?"

"Haha, you know I used to work in the intelligence department, so there are some things I can't tell you too much about. These are all state secrets. But I can tell you frankly, my connections are incredibly deep!"

Fang Zhenhua's biggest tactic was to recruit people into the Party on the spot, a point that Walden and Jack Welch deeply understood.

Moreover, over the years, Yuri has done a lot of things to recruit people into the party, and some senior executives of large companies in the United States have suffered greatly because of him.

"You rascal, I really have to thank you this time."

"Alright, no need for thanks. When you return to Beijing at the end of the year, have a good drink with me. Okay, I have urgent business to attend to in Sichuan. We'll talk later."

"What urgent matter could make you, a high-ranking army commander, take it so seriously?"

"It's a state secret, it has to be kept confidential, you know? But I can give you a little sneak peek, I'm going to see my two precious babies."

After saying that, Fang Zhenhua hung up the phone. He sat in his office and looked up at the blue sky through the office glass.

His purpose in going to Sichuan this time was to see two new fighter jets, the J-10 and the J-11.

Especially the Eleventh Master, who is completely different from the original timeline, so it's best to keep it a secret for now.

The Tenth Prince deserves special mention.

Under Fang Zhenhua's guidance, this newly developed third-generation fighter jet in my country has undergone tremendous changes.

First, there's its engine. This time, the J-10 uses the F110 engine, which has a thrust of 12.4 tons.

The American F-16 fighter jet uses the F110 engine, and in this life, the Tenth Prince has also caught up with good times.

This was originally an Air Force matter and had nothing to do with Fang Zhenhua, the Army Commander. However, this time the commander personally called on him, requiring Fang Zhenhua to go.

Those at the higher levels all understand this reason.

Fang Zhenhua first returned to Beijing, and then went to Sichuan with his superiors to visit Institute 611.

Upon arriving at Institute 611, he was warmly welcomed by all his comrades. Fang Zhenhua accompanied the leader to Tenth Master's side.

In this life, the Tenth Prince was truly fortunate to have caught a good time. Not only did he receive a new heart transplant, but with financial support, he also avoided the setbacks he experienced in the original timeline.

Looking at the yellow J-10 helicopter parked on the tarmac, Fang Zhenhua was filled with emotion.

This is the most important fighter jet of the Republic, and it was from this point that my country's fighter jets began to develop rapidly.

Princess Pomegranate, the Eight-Winged Archangel, and even the mysterious Ginkgo Leaf.

Tenth Master also has two other famous nicknames: Gust Killer and South Asian Killer.

Although it was reduced to a performance aircraft more than 20 years later, Fang Zhenhua's eyes still lit up when he looked at it now.

It's so beautiful!

Fang Zhenhua's sigh was overheard by President Song, who smiled and said...

"Commander Fang, you also think it's beautiful, don't you?"

Seeing that President Song was speaking to him, Fang Zhenhua smiled and nodded.

"Yes! What a beautiful fighter jet! Any weapon or piece of equipment that doesn't look good is definitely not effective in combat."

"Haha, Commander Fang is indeed an expert."

"By the way, Mr. Song, how's Project 11 going? Will we be able to see that plane this time?"

President Song gave Fang Zhenhua a meaningful look.

"Commander Fang, it seems you can't wait any longer?"

"You hid this plane so well, I still don't know what it looks like!"

"Haha, you'll see it in the next couple of days, it will definitely surprise you."

"Then I'll wait."

While the two were chatting and laughing, the test pilot had already boarded the plane. After performing a series of difficult maneuvers, the test pilot conducted a perfect test flight.

As soon as the plane landed, a large crowd couldn't help but surround it.

After the test pilot disembarked, General Manager Song immediately asked.
