  Maotai is a national liquor, not comparable to the likes of Jiujiang Liquor. But for Jimmy, coming to Jiujiang County and being able to drink Jiujiang Liquor brewed by the local distillery, especially one made by this young man's father, holds special significance.

  As Yang Jie poured the clear white wine into two sea bowls, the people at a nearby table also noticed Jimmy's situation, and everyone stood up to watch Jimmy and Yang Jie.

  Yang Jie single-handedly picked up the large bowl, nodded to Jimmy, and then drank down the liquor in the bowl with a heroic posture. The 56-degree white wine was gone in less than half a minute, entering Yang Jie's stomach. Seeing Yang Jie holding up the empty bowl, indicating that he had finished drinking, Jimmy followed suit, stood up, and directly drank the white wine in the large bowl in one gulp.

  "Good!" The two drank with such gusto and grandeur that they immediately drew a round of applause from onlookers.

  Jimmy and the other three foreigners had never experienced such a bold way of drinking, Jimmy was even more excited because of the cheers from others, looking at the bowl in his hand, Jimmy still felt that it was not enough, facing Yang Jie who was slightly flushed, he smiled and said: "Jie, this drink is really addictive, let's have another bowl?"

  Yang Jie's drinking capacity was pretty good, but it was only about one and a half kilograms. The food he ate at noon had already been absorbed by Xiao Wu, so he was basically drinking on an empty stomach. He downed five liang of white wine in one gulp, and could still work normally in the afternoon. If he drank another bowl, he would probably make a fool of himself.

  Looking at Jimmy, who had drunk nearly a catty of white wine beside him, he was still like nothing had happened, speaking clearly and distinctly, with clear eyes, without any sign of intoxication. With Yang Jie's capacity for liquor, he really wasn't his match.

  Zhou Dalong and others saw Jimmy drinking with Yang Jie, thinking that it was all over, but unexpectedly Jimmy picked up another bottle of Quhe grain liquor, wanting to fill the two sea bowls on the table, which made them anxious.

  In the afternoon, they went to a machinery factory for inspection. Yang Jie getting drunk was nothing serious, but if Jimmy got drunk, that would be troublesome. At this time, Zhou Dalong couldn't help but use a wine cup with Yang Jie and was somewhat dissatisfied with Jimmy's reckless way of drinking.

  "Jimmy, we still have to inspect the machinery factory this afternoon. Let's save this drink until after your inspection is over, okay?" Yang Jie saw that the faces of several leaders at the table had changed and knew that he had been a bit too boastful earlier.

  "Jie, to be honest, this inspection is basically over. As long as Yunhe County can give us satisfactory tax incentives and preferential policies, our Hongfeng Group can sign an investment intention agreement with Yunhe County," said Jimi, shaking his head.

  Yang Jie hastily translated Jimmy's words, and Zhou Daliang and others couldn't help but smile when they heard what Jimmy said.

  "Yang Jie, tell Mr. Jimmy that regarding the preferential treatment of tax reduction and exemption, we will formulate it according to some relevant policies of the state and Jiangnan Province with the most lenient standards, and we will definitely make Red Maple Group satisfied."

  Jimmy listened to Yang Jie's translation, smiled and nodded his head, saying: "Yuehe County is very sincere, and our Red Maple Group is also quite satisfied with the investment environment of Yuehe County. The specific cooperation details and policy preferential conditions will be handled by Roland and Jameson from today on, so, Jie, you can now rest assured to accompany me for a drink?"

  Yang Jie was taken aback by Jimmy's last sentence, he didn't expect Jimmy to publicly announce that the stone project would directly enter into formal negotiations between the two parties, skipping the itinerary of continuing to inspect in Rongcheng County, just to have a hearty drink with him.

  After Yang Jie translated Jimmy's original words to Zhou Dalong and other leaders, the leaders all felt a sense of being at a loss for whether to laugh or cry. If they had known earlier, they would have just found someone with a large capacity for liquor to accompany Jimmy and that would have been the end of it.

  Director Chen Yuan from the next table walked quickly to Zhou Dali and Zhang Dasen, leaned over and said in a low voice: "Mr. Luo Lun said that Mr. Jimmy is good at drinking wine, it's rare for him to get drunk after so many years, Yang Jie's way of drinking with Jimmy made Jimmy very satisfied, so he hopes we can satisfy Jimmy's requirements, everything about the project will be easy to discuss."

  Zhou Dalong heard this and a strange color flashed in his eyes. No wonder every time they had dinner, Jimmy would never refuse their toast. It turned out that Jimmy was a connoisseur of good wine, and it was rare for him to get drunk in his life. It can be seen how novel and satisfying he found Yang Jie's way of taking away the wine cup and replacing it with a large bowl.

  At this time, Zhang Dasheng also secretly sighed in his heart. Yang Jie's unintentional move made Jimmy extremely satisfied, and even directly skipped the original inspection trip, agreeing to enter the formal negotiation stage between the two parties. The reason was just to have a good drink with Yang Jie.

  "Yang Jie, since Mr. Jimmy wants to drink with you, how's your drinking capacity? Can you keep up with Mr. Jimmy and have a good time?" Zhou Dalong asked seriously, staring at Yang Jie beside him.

  Yang Jie heard this and suddenly felt a bitter smile in his heart, looking at Jimmy beside him who was clenching his fists and rubbing his palms. He really couldn't get out of this situation now. "Secretary, I'll try my best!"

  Zhang Dasheng looked at Yang Jie with displeasure and said in a deep voice, "Yang Jie, whether the county can get the stone material project of Hongfeng Group now depends on you. You must treat this matter as a political task, no matter what method you use, you must satisfy Mr. Jimmy, do you understand?"

  Zhou Dalong heard that Zhang Dashan actually elevated accompanying Jimmy to drink to a political task, and didn't know that Zhang Dashan was going to frame Yang Jie's army. If Yang Jie couldn't satisfy Jimmy, and there were any twists in the next investment negotiations, it would definitely be recorded on Yang Jie's head by Zhang Dashan.

  However, for now, Yang Jie accompanying Jimmy to drink good wine is the top priority. Even if he knew that Zhang Da Xian was not kind-hearted, Zhou Da Long couldn't find any reason to stop him and could only remind Yang Jie: "Yang Jie, you take care of yourself, do your best, pay attention to your body, don't overexert yourself!"

  "Don't worry, Secretary Zhou, Yang Jie vows to complete the task with his life!" Yang Jie said directly to Secretary Zhou, not even looking at Zhang Dashan.

  "Activate the intelligent system!" Yang Jie thought to himself, waiting for Xiao Wu's image to appear in his mind. Once Xiao Wu's image appeared, Yang Jie hastily asked him in his mind: "Xiao Wu, can you convert the wine I drank into biological energy?"

  Xiao Wu was shut down by Yang Jie, and he felt very unhappy. Originally, his puffed-up little face had a hint of grievance, but after hearing Yang Jie's question, the grievance on his face instantly dissipated, and a pair of bright eyes stared at Yang Jie, shining brightly.

  "Of course! Anything you eat or drink can be converted into bio-energy by the system. Liquor is a good source of bio-energy, do you want me to extract the alcohol from your body and convert it into usable bio-energy for the system?"

  "Of course! From now on, whenever I drink, you can extract it and convert it into bio-energy!" Yang Jie heard Xiao Wu say this and immediately felt at ease. He looked at Jimmy beside him and took the initiative to take over the wine bottle from his hand, filling up both bowls on the table.

  Jimmy smiled brightly and nodded to Yang Jie, then picked up the wine bowl on the table and clinked it with Yang Jie's bowl before they both tilted their heads back and downed the white liquor in one gulp.

  The five liang of white wine entered Yang Jie's mouth, but before it could flow into his stomach, Xiao Wu extracted it and directly converted it into biological energy that could power the intelligent system. Even the five liang of wine Yang Jie had drunk earlier was also converted by Xiao Wu.

  The wine in his body was completely extracted by Xiao Wu, and Yang Jie, who had been a bit dizzy, immediately perked up and became completely sober, as if he had never drunk at all. He was extremely clear-headed.

  He raised the sea bowl in his hand, gestured to Jimmy that he had finished drinking, put down the sea bowl, and under the incredulous gaze of Zhou Daliang and others, opened another bottle of Quhe grain liquor and filled his own bowl again.

  Jimi not only had good wine, but also an astonishing amount of alcohol. On ordinary days, he would slowly drink a few kilograms of high-proof liquor, just like drinking a beverage, and wouldn't get drunk at all. But this time, when drinking fast with Yang Jie, one drink was equivalent to a sea bowl. Not only was the way of drinking novel, but it also felt particularly heroic and refreshing, making Jimi extremely happy and satisfied.

  After watching Yang Jie finish his drink, Jimmy, not to be outdone, took a big gulp of the white wine from the sea bowl and wiped his mouth with satisfaction. He loudly said to Yang Jie: "Jie! You're the most impressive young man I've ever seen when it comes to drinking, I like you, let's have another!"

  Xiao Yuan and Deng Xiaohui translated Jimmy's words to Zhou Dalong and other leaders, Zhou Dalong looked at Yang Jie who was drinking with Jimmy, a flash of color in his eyes, he turned to Zhang Daxian beside him and said: "Mayor Zhang, you just asked Yang Jie to take good care of Jimmy as a political task, look at Yang Jie drinking with Jimmy like this, he's practically betting his life on it.

  "If Yang Jie really satisfied Jimmy and helped the county bring in this project, then Yang Jie is the greatest contributor to this investment attraction project. How should the county reward him?"
