2003: Starting with Foreign Trade

Chapter 362 Production Commences, A New Year.

Monday, August 2007, 1.

On New Year's Day, another new year began. Around 10 a.m., the Beicang Daqi Electric Vehicle Industrial Park was bustling with activity.

Luxury cars kept entering the newly established industrial park, attracting employees commuting to and from get off work to stop and watch.

"What's going on here? Why are there so many luxury cars today? Isn't it New Year's Day holiday?"

"Today, Flash is holding a production launch ceremony; these must be guests."

"It's New Year's Day, but they're holding a production launch ceremony. Doesn't that mean we working people don't get a holiday?"

"They're paying overtime. Besides, we can't even get in, so what's there to be so sour about?"

There are already quite a few small and medium-sized factories operating near the electric vehicle industrial park for some time now. Some of them make electric vehicle-related parts, while others make automotive parts. They were all attracted by the policies and by factories like Shanchi and Zhongtai.

Some factories also supply parts to Flash and Zhongtai. Although the two main factories have not yet started production, the surrounding economic effects have already been stimulated.

The small business owners were decisive. When there were favorable policies and business opportunities, they simply moved their factories here. After all, they had been renting before, so it didn't matter where they were.

This is the effect the Beicang District government wanted: to drive surrounding industries and form an industrial cluster through large factories.

Flash Motors' North Warehouse plant has actually been in full production for more than a week. Currently, Flash Motors' production capacity can reach 3000 vehicles per day, and the monthly production capacity no longer requires suppliers to control the shipment volume.

Today, we are attended by Flash's dealers, suppliers, and peers invited by Tan Jincheng. In addition, representatives from Beicang District are also here to attend the production launch ceremony.

Representatives from both Tianjin and Wangjiang attended the event. Nie Yunlai came from Wangjiang, while Yang Zhenting came from Tianjin. In addition to attending the commissioning ceremony of the Shanchi Beicang Industrial Park, Yang Zhenting also took the opportunity to meet up with his old friend Zhao Jinsheng.

For those of them who grew up together, it has become extremely difficult to see each other again after they start working.

Like Nie Yunlai, Yang Zhenting arrived on the 30th. The difference was that Yang Zhenting came on the 30th to meet up with old friends, while Nie Yunlai came just to hitch a ride with Tan Lihua.

With the New Year's Day holiday plus the weekend, Tan Lihua naturally came to Ningbo to reunite with his wife and children. Not only Tan Lihua, but also Zhang Guolong and his wife came together.

After a busy year, Zhang Xupeng, the big boss, finally has time to rest during the New Year's Day holiday.

This was Zhang Xupeng's mother, Liu Huiru, visiting Ningbo for the first time. Just like Zhang Xupeng, after Tan Jincheng won the Economic Person of the Year award, it caused a strong reaction throughout the country, especially in Yicheng. Zhang Xupeng, who grew up and started a business with Tan Jincheng and is still his business partner, also saw his reputation rise.

Goodness, after Boss Tan became rich, he brought such a large industry to his hometown, investing 10 billion yuan to build a thousand-acre industrial park, but he has nothing here.

So you're telling me your son is Tan Jincheng's lackey?

Is the assistant capable of independently managing a clothing brand and handling all of Flash Group's clothing business?
Okay, let's say you're a follower, but you're not like other followers. You're easily worth over 100 million, right? Investing in your hometown shouldn't be a problem, right?

Zhang Guolong and his wife have experienced the same helplessness and vanity that Tan Lihua felt back then, and recently, many of their relatives have been visiting their home.

Liu Huiru, who was visiting Beicang for the first time, had a similar reaction to Zhang Suzhi when she first arrived. She imagined that although her son was rich, he was still single and lived alone, and was often not at home, so his life must be chaotic.

However, upon entering the house, Liu Huiru was somewhat surprised to find it remarkably tidy.

"That was true at first, but after I helped him tidy up a few times, Pengya got a little embarrassed and started tidying up himself after that," Zhang Suzhi explained with a smile.

"No wonder! I was wondering why a bachelor's room would be so clean and tidy," Liu Huiru said with a sudden realization.

“Aunt Liu, it’s perfect that you’re here. Let’s go to Pengya’s villa together and see if you want to buy him anything.”

Tan Jincheng bought a detached villa in Huangshan Green Island, located near the Sports and Arts Center and Gymnasium in the district center. This will be the only group of detached villas in Beicang District in the future, but in two years, it will only be available for rent and not for sale.

Two years later, a new batch of residential buildings will be built opposite the Green Island community, named Huangshan Green Garden. Although it has the same name, it does not belong to the same community. The detached villas in Golden Green Island are covered by a large area of ​​green plants. In addition, they are only rented and not sold. After several years, even the local residents of Beicang know very little about it, making it seem very mysterious.

Tan Jincheng was fortunate to be in the right place at the right time. Even if it was only for rent and not for sale, it would be quite easy for him to move in given his current status.

It's said that Mr. Ma from Shenzhou also lives in the Green Island Community in Beicang, but I don't know if it's true or not.

When buying the villa, Zhang Xupeng also bought one. The two villas are close to each other and are decorated at the same time, with similar styles. Tan Jincheng is preparing to move in soon, and Zhang Xupeng is also thinking of doing so.

In their previous life, the two of them bought houses in the same neighborhood, a fact that seemed to have remained unchanged. "Let's go take a look then," Liu Huiru said with a hearty laugh.

She came here not only to escape the New Year's holiday and have some peace and quiet, but also because Zhang Xupeng said he was moving and wanted her to come and see his new home. However, whether it's Liren Garden or Huangshan Green Island, it's a new home for Liu Huiru.

In Liren Garden, Nie Yunlai didn't sense much of a wealthy atmosphere; he felt that the two of them lived no different lives from ordinary people.
However, upon entering the villa complex of Green Island Community and the home of Tan Jincheng and Zhang Xupeng, Nie Yunlai experienced for the first time a difference from ordinary people. The modern decorating style, reasonable layout, and expensive furniture were striking.

Nie Yunlai used to work in investment promotion and had seen some of the world while traveling on business, but he had never been inside the home of a truly wealthy person before, and he couldn't help but marvel at how well the rich lived.

Tan Jinyue was running up and down the stairs, shouting that this was her new home, while Tan Jincheng was whispering to Gu Qingqing, pointing and gesturing as if they were discussing something.

"What a pity," Nie Yunlai sighed inwardly.

The pity wasn't for others, but for himself. He was at the grassroots level with no connections, and by the time he retired, reaching the section chief level would be the best he could hope for. But now, as a liaison officer, he had helped his boss introduce a key investment project for the entire province, and it seemed that he saw hope for further advancement.

The breakthrough point is undoubtedly with Tan Jincheng. He and Tan Jincheng are true fellow townsmen, and he speaks the same accent as his parents.

He has a daughter who is about the same age as Tan Jincheng and is quite pretty; Yicheng is known for its beautiful women.

It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to introduce her to Tan Jincheng, otherwise their relationship might have progressed further and become even more stable.

However, he then looked at Zhang Xupeng beside him. Although he was not as good as Tan Jincheng, he was still a promising young man who was able to independently take charge of the apparel business of Shanchi Group, which showed that he was also quite capable.

Nie Yunlai's eyes darted around. Sometimes, when an opportunity is right in front of you, you have to seize it. As for whether it will work out, that's up to fate.

Both of them are very capable and have a good reputation. They have always been very low-key since they became famous and have not engaged in any dissolute or extravagant behavior. In particular, he has even met Zhang Xupeng.

"Mr. Zhang, I have a good-for-nothing son who's about to graduate. Could you please help me find a job?"

In fact, Nie Yunlai was more familiar with Zhang Xupeng than with Tan Jincheng. Zhang Xupeng had often gone to Wangjiang because of the garment factory, so asking Zhang Xupeng for help now didn't seem too presumptuous.

Zhang Xupeng didn't think much of it; this wasn't the first time he and Tan Jincheng had helped each other arrange jobs.

What do you study?

“She studied accounting, but failed the postgraduate entrance exam and is thinking of finding a job. I don’t have much ability to help her.”

Zhang Xupeng thought about it and realized that GXG needed to build an operations team and open a large number of stores in the future. They really needed to increase manpower in the finance department. Accounting was a perfect fit, and they could be put to good use after two years of training.

“Alright, if Nie Ke doesn’t mind that his daughter is too far away from you and comes to work in Ningbo, then let her come. I will arrange for someone to take care of her.”

"Of course I would complain. There are no job assignments now, and it's not easy to find a job. Mr. Zhang and Mr. Tan are like family to me, so I feel more at ease working for you."

Hearing their conversation, Tan Jincheng smiled and winked at Gu Qingqing.

In the past two years, Tan Jincheng has frequently dealt with people from government departments. He never dares to look down on the people around the leaders, especially the younger ones, who receive better treatment. Who knows what opportunities these people will have in the future?
Nie Yunlai only has one daughter, so he had obviously inquired about this matter. The fact that he didn't ask him to arrange a job for his daughter, but instead went directly to Zhang Xupeng, was something Tan Jincheng could probably guess.

Having raised Tan Jinyue as his own daughter and being a father himself, he fully understood Nie Yunlai's behavior. Who wouldn't want their daughter to marry better?
Any old father who saw the boy with the will-o'-the-wisp showing up at his door would want to give him a good beating.

Although there are some differences from his previous life, Tan Jincheng does not intend to interfere. No one knows whether a marriage is suitable until it is tried. Zhang Xupeng was a millionaire in his previous life, but he still had to resort to blind dates to get married. His dating skills are really not good.

Perhaps, there was a personal factor (Nie Yunlai) pushing him from behind, which allowed him to mature earlier in matters of the heart.

Seeing Tan Jincheng looking in their direction, Nie Yunlai smiled and said, "President Tan doesn't have any objections, right? I'm just giving you preferential treatment in front of you."

Tan Jincheng winked playfully at Nie Yunlai: "Why would I have any objections? On the contrary, I would very much welcome more outstanding talents to join our Shanchi Group. The girls in Xinba are all very excellent."

Nie Yunlai blushed.

However, he was quite happy that Tan Jincheng was willing to make this happen.

I probably don't have any female readers, so I won't wish you all happiness~
