Chapter 928 - 929: Matsumoto Koji’s Frustration
Another team member said to Matsumoto Koji, "Mr. Matsumoto, there’s another way—we could change to another city. However, all our preliminary work would be wasted, and we’d need additional time for research."
Matsumoto Koji shook his head and said, "That’s not an option. We’ve decided to invest in Minghe after extensive investigations. This decision was made by our headquarters. If I now suggest changing the location, the headquarters will surely hold me accountable."
"But given the current situation, we’ve encountered significant resistance. Unless we can collaborate with the Su Corporation or resolve the conflict, investing here would be unrealistic."
"Damn it!" Matsumoto Koji couldn’t help but curse again. He had come here to invest, expecting the local companies to seek collaboration with him, but now, not a single company dared to approach him voluntarily. Instead, he was forced to actively seek partnerships. This infuriated him to no end.
Unwilling to give in so easily, Matsumoto Koji dialed Shen Dongyang’s number once more.
"Mayor Shen, I came to your city to invest, yet I’ve encountered such rude behavior. As mayor, can’t you ensure the safety of foreign businessmen like me?"
Shen Dongyang replied directly, "Mr. Matsumoto, we welcome law-abiding foreign businessmen here in China with courtesy and respect. But let me remind you: that’s under the condition of obeying the law. I investigated yesterday’s incident, and Mr. Matsumoto was the one acting inappropriately first, which led to the situation. The Su Family is still seeking accountability on this matter, so you’d better prepare to be deported back to Japan."
Matsumoto Koji exclaimed in shock, "Deported? Are you kidding me? I’ve brought two billion US Dollars’ worth of investment to Minghe, and now you’re telling me I’ll be sent back?!"
"Mr. Matsumoto, regardless of the amount of your investment, you cannot infringe upon the rights of our citizens. While your two billion dollars could bring some changes to Minghe, even without your investment, Minghe will continue to develop just fine."
"You... Mayor Shen, aren’t you concerned about your career? Your reputation?"
