Chapter 307: Overseas Investment Encounters Obstacles: Xiao Yue's Difficult Start

Xiao Yue's plane landed smoothly at Country Y's capital airport.

The hatch opened, and a gust of cold air filled with dampness blew in her face, causing her to involuntarily wrap her coat tighter.

Below the gangway, the unfamiliar city was looming in the mist. The towering Gothic buildings and the modern glass curtain walls complemented each other, like a huge oil painting unfolding before her eyes.

Xiao Yue took a deep breath. This land would be the battlefield for her struggle for some time to come.

As she walked out of the airport with her suitcase, she was surrounded by foreign faces speaking different languages ​​and people of all skin colors coming and going, which made her feel a little particularly lonely.

She thought of Shen Ting's hug and encouragement when he said goodbye, and a warm feeling surged in her heart, which made her more determined to complete this investment task.

After arriving at the hotel and settling in, Xiao Yue immediately contacted Lawyer Li and made an appointment to meet in the hotel's cafe.

Lawyer Li is a capable middle-aged Chinese man who wears gold-rimmed glasses and exudes professionalism and rigor in his every move.

He brought a thick stack of documents and explained the recent policy changes to Xiao Yue in detail.

"Ms. Xiao, according to the latest policies, there are more restrictions on foreign companies investing in Country Y..." Lawyer Li opened the document and explained the complicated legal provisions one by one.

Xiao Yue listened attentively, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

Each clause was like an invisible wall hindering her investment plans.

There are restrictions on office rental area, higher environmental standards, and even strict regulations on the nationality ratio of employees.

The aroma of coffee filled the air, but it couldn't dispel the gloom in Xiao Yue's heart.

She felt like she was trapped in a huge maze, where every step she took could lead to a trap.

Lawyer Li's voice continued, but Xiao Yue's thoughts had drifted away.

She remembered what Shen Ting had said: "Business is like a battlefield. Never be intimidated by the difficulties in front of you."

"Lawyer Li," Xiao Yue suddenly interrupted Lawyer Li's statement, with a determined light in her eyes, "These clauses do bring us great challenges, but..." She paused, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "I have a new idea." Xiao Yue did not complain, but quickly flipped through the documents brought by Lawyer Li, and lines of densely packed legal provisions flashed before her eyes.

Her slender fingers slid quickly across the tablet screen, browsing the latest investment policies and industry reports of Country Y.

Are there any restrictions on office rental area?

Improvement of environmental standards?

What are the regulations on employee nationality ratios?

These seemingly insurmountable obstacles, in Xiao Yue's eyes, were like puzzles to be solved, arousing her strong desire for challenge.

Lawyer Li originally thought that Xiao Yue would, like other corporate representatives, first complain about the harshness of the policy and then seek workarounds.

However, Xiao Yue's reaction was beyond his expectations.

She was not at all flustered, but instead showed extraordinary calmness and concentration.

He pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. This young girl was tougher than he had imagined.

The coffee shop is filled with the rich aroma of coffee mixed with the light sweetness of pastries.

Outside the window, the drizzle hits the glass, making a soft sound.

Xiao Yue seemed to be in an independent world, oblivious to the noise from the outside world.

She scanned the document at a glance, her mind racing, analyzing the meaning and impact of every clause.

Suddenly, Xiao Yue's fingers stopped.

She stared intently at a line of text on the screen, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

This is a clause regarding the policy of supporting the new energy industry, which she had previously ignored because it seemed irrelevant to her investment project.

But now, she keenly realized that this clause contained huge opportunities, which might help her partner Peter solve the financial crisis and even turn the situation of the entire investment project around!

"Lawyer Li, look here..." Xiao Yue's voice trembled slightly with excitement. She pointed to the terms on the screen and explained her findings in a hurried tone.

Lawyer Li leaned closer to the screen and read the terms carefully.

At first, he looked confused, but as Xiao Yue explained, his expression gradually became surprised, and finally, a hint of joy spread in his eyes.

"This...this is such a wonderful discovery!" Lawyer Li couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

In the office, Accountant Zhang and Translator Zhou, who were originally a little depressed, also came over. After listening to Xiao Yue's analysis, smiles gradually appeared on their faces.

Xiao Enterprise seemed to see a ray of light in the darkness, and the flame of hope was rekindled.

Xiao Yue's heart was pounding, and an indescribable feeling of excitement surged in her chest.

She felt like an explorer who had discovered a secret passage to treasure in a misty forest.

She picked up her phone and dialed a number...

"Shen Ting, I..." Xiao Yue made a video call to Shen Ting.

After the call was connected, Shen Ting's face appeared on the screen. There was a hint of fatigue between his brows, but when he saw Xiao Yue, his eyes immediately softened.

"How's it going? Is it going well?"

"I discovered a new policy that may be beneficial to us." Xiao Yue excitedly told Shen Ting about his discovery and explained in detail how to use this policy to help Peter solve his financial problems.

Shen Ting on the other end of the video showed worry in his eyes.

"Yueyue, this policy does seem good, but you have to be cautious. Country Y's policies change rapidly, and we must be fully prepared."

Xiao Yue understood Shen Ting's concerns, but she firmly believed in her own judgment.

"I know," she said firmly, her eyes gleaming with confidence.

There were some disagreements between the two and a tense atmosphere spread between them.

In the video, Shen Ting was silent for a moment, but finally compromised.

"Okay, but be careful. Tell me immediately if you have any problems." The worry in his tone remained unchanged, but his trust in Xiao Yue was also clearly visible.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yue felt relieved.

She knew Shen Ting cared about her, but she wanted to prove her ability more.

Just then, a man in a suit and tie walked up to Xiao Yue.

"Ms. Xiao, I've long heard of you. I'm David, representing D&K Company." D&K is Xiao's competitor in Country Y.

Xiao Yue responded politely, but her heart was on high alert. David's appearance was no accident.

"I heard that Miss Xiao has found a new investment direction. I'm really admirable. Could you tell me a little bit about it?" David's tone seemed polite, but in fact it was tentative.

Xiao Yue smiled slightly, her tone calm and confident. "It's a commercial secret. I can't comment."

David did not give up because of Xiao Yue's refusal and continued to try to find out information indirectly.

The onlookers around also stopped and watched the confrontation curiously.

Xiao Yue responded calmly and answered David's questions skillfully, neither revealing any substantial information nor giving the other party any evidence.

Her calmness and wit left David somewhat bewildered and amazed the onlookers around her.

After some unsuccessful attempts, David left in disappointment.

Xiao Yue watched him leave with a barely perceptible smile on her lips.

Although he successfully dealt with David's temptation, Xiao Yue did not let down his guard.

She knows this is just the beginning and there are many challenges ahead.

She took a deep breath, picked up the documents in her hand, stood up and walked towards the hotel entrance.

"Accountant Zhang, let's go."
