Chapter 22: Rejecting All Forms of Investment!

"Hello?"

"Hello, are you King Chen Yang?"

"Yes, this is him."

"Hello, my name is Wu Pinyan, the general manager of the Chinese Company Yunxing Waimao."°

"What does Mr. Wu want from me?"

"I have the idea of ​​investing in your country and intend to lead a team to the Kingdom of Yan Guo to take a look, but your country has not yet established diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of the Dragon... Well, I just want to ask, how should I go to the Kingdom of Yan Guo?"

Chen Yang suddenly realized that if a citizen of one country wants to travel to another country, he or she must have a visa interview, a visa on arrival, or just apply for a visa normally.

Yan Guo had just been established. There was no immigration department or entry-exit office, but it was a country.

If someone wanted to come, they could only contact Chen Yang directly.

However, Chen Yang did not intend to let the other party come.

Yan Guo is now a deserted island. There is no place to live when you come here, and you have to worry about snakes, insects, rats, and ants biting your butt.

And he doesn't have the heart to welcome these people now.

Investment and other things, to be honest, he is not lacking for now.

It's not that he is arrogant and disdainful, but the timing is wrong.

If you only look at Yan Guo's situation on the internet, it is definitely the most worthy country for investment at the moment, with enormous space for returns.

Once he reached Yan Guo and looked at the island resembling a primitive forest, that confidence would be mercilessly defeated by reality in an instant.

Therefore, Chen Yang doesn't plan on letting anyone visit the island until the infrastructure is completed.

"Sorry, Yan Guo is not accepting any form of investment at the moment. If Mr. Wu is willing to invest, he can wait."

"At most two months, Yan Guo will open the Immigration Administration Department. If Mr. Wu wants to come, he can submit a request through the Immigration Administration website."

Wu Pinyan was perplexed.

What's the situation?

Was he rejected?

To come to Yan Guo, he temporarily registered a company and came as an investor.

But he never expected Chen Yang to refuse.

It's logical that if someone is waving money to invest, the other person should be very excited and happy. Why is this Chen Yang doing the opposite?

He racked his brain and couldn't figure out what went wrong.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Pinyan dialed Lin Zhongguo's number to report the matter.

Lin Zhongguo also didn't understand. He pondered for a while and said, "He said the Immigration Administration Department will be opened in two months?"

"Yes."

"Two months..." Lin Zhongguo said, "Is it possible that your Longteng Plan could be completed in two months?"

"Impossible!" Wu Pinyan said. "Though I am not involved in the construction, I can confidently state that it is impossible to complete infrastructure of this scale in two months."

Lin Zhongguo countered, "Don't be so pessimistic. With enough human and financial resources, two months is not an impossible task."

They were from China and had witnessed infrastructure miracles more than once.

As long as there was enough manpower for overtime, what were these infrastructure projects?

...

That day, the phone calls to Chen Yang didn't stop.

From China, from the United States, from the United Kingdom...

The phone numbers came from various countries, and all of them were from investors interested in visiting Yan Guo for inspection, but Chen Yang turned them all down.

Chen Yang's throat hurt after so many refusals.

Helpless, he could only make an announcement on the official website: Yan Guo would not accept any form of investment or inspection for the time being.

And simultaneously, he shared this announcement on his social media.

"Am I wrong? Yan Guo doesn't accept investment?"

"You don't even want people's money?"

"Boss, what plan is this? Why can't I understand?"

"Are you only looking at half of the things? The focus is between the lines. It's not about refusing investments, but inspections!"

"The construction of infrastructure in the Yan Guo Kingdom has not yet been completed. Under these circumstances, what could they discover in an inspection?"

"The chief is right to refuse the investment. At this moment, we should focus on developing the infrastructure and wait until urbanization is complete before considering anything else."

"Learning to crawl before walking is the right step. The chief is very lucid."

"That's true. Allowing inspections now could easily cause negative impacts."

Chen Yang initially thought so, after all, the timing wasn't ideal.

However, as the calls increased, he began to have a vague sense that someone was trying to manipulate him.

Do these investors not know the current state of Yan Guo?

What is there to be explored on a deserted island?

Perhaps some people really want to conduct inspections, but Chen Yang suspected that some of them were not interested only in inspection.

He feared that, under the pretext of an inspection, some were planning to spread negative news.

Rejecting them was the right choice in every aspect.

Chen Yang's rejection left authorities and major financial groups from various countries extremely disappointed.

They really wanted to send money, but they couldn't, which was truly disappointing.

Yunxing Waimao (云星外贸) is a Chinese phrase that can be translated in several ways depending on the context. However, the most common interpretation is: Yunxing Foreign Trade.

And Yunxing (运兴): Means "good luck", "prosperity" or "fortune".
