Reborn, back to a small county town to become a wealthy family

Chapter 777 A Single Pole Thrown Up
If you want to know why Jiang Yuanshan went to the provincial capital, you can just make a phone call.

But now that she's with Jiang Fan, and they haven't seen each other for more than half a month, there's no need to ruin the atmosphere now. It's not too late to contact each other later.

After having lunch in the city, the two had no interest in shopping and went straight back to Luo Yang's villa.

As soon as I entered, they started sticking to me, right from the lobby.

I don't know who made the first move, but it was a huge, passionate affair that didn't calm down until after 2 p.m.

"Honey, I haven't seen you for two weeks straight, and I feel so empty inside."

As the burning sensation gradually subsided, Jiang Fan, having caught her breath, turned and hugged Luo Yang's waist, resting her cheek against her man's chest, murmuring her innermost thoughts.

Luo Yang sat half-upright on the edge of the bed, his long arm around Jiang Fan, his large hand gripping her slender waist, expressing a man's possessiveness.

He knew it was just an emotional outburst and didn't need a response, so he remained silent.

"Honey, did your trip to the US go smoothly?"

After regaining his senses, Jiang Fan began to inquire about Luo Yang's career: "I heard you say you were going to discuss a collaboration, and you seemed to be in a good mood, so it should have gone well, right?"

"Yes, it's settled."

Luo Yang said softly, "I had several things to take care of on this trip, and they all went smoothly."

"That's it"

Jiang Fan tightened her grip on his arm, looked up into Luo Yang's eyes, and said, "Honey, won't you be going to the US all the time from now on?"

"You."

After hearing the question, Luo Yang laughed.

He gently stroked Jiang Fan's nose with his finger and said softly, "Why beat around the bush with me? Just ask me what you're thinking."

After Luo Yang exposed her thoughts, Jiang Fan's cheeks flushed instantly.

She looked away shyly, shifting her body to press herself even closer to Luo Yang.

"They're just worried."

Jiang Fan pouted and said, "You already have a lot of things to do in Shanghai. If your business expands to the United States, you'll have even less time to come back to Yang City."

"Silly girl, what am I doing paying so many high salaries to support so many subordinates?"

Luo Yang smiled and said, "When a company is first established, there is no other way because if the entrepreneur does not control the details, the company is prone to failure. Once the company has grown in scale, the details can be handed over to professional managers. The entrepreneur only needs to control the strategic direction of the company's development. Getting too involved in the lower-level management will not only tire you out, but will also reduce the efficiency of the company's operation, which is not worth it."

"whee."

Jiang Fan chuckled, rubbing her cheek against Luo Yang's chest as she said, "My husband is so amazing!"

"Snapped!"

Luo Yang laughed and scolded, "Don't flatter me. I know my own limitations. I haven't reached the level you just mentioned yet. Perhaps it will take another four or five years of honing my skills before I can handle it with ease."

At this point, he added, "Just like Dad is now."

"Tch, old Jiang is only good at bullying his own kind."

Jiang Fan wrinkled his nose and snorted, "He's been in business for over twenty years and is still stuck in a small place like Yang City. He may be successful, but if he were to leave Yang City, he might not be as good as you."

This little cotton-padded jacket is leaking.

If Old Jiang heard what his daughter said, he would cry his eyes out.

"Don't underestimate your dad."

Luo Yang defended his father-in-law, saying, "He runs a real economy business, and it's in a sunrise industry like new energy. He would succeed anywhere."

There was absolutely no exaggeration in his words.

Just imagine, if companies specializing in new energy battery research and development, production and manufacturing, photovoltaic industry, and electric vehicles were to relocate out of Yang City, other cities would welcome them with open arms. Even a top-tier city like Shanghai would be very welcoming and would offer substantial policy incentives.

Hearing Luo Yang praise his father-in-law like that, Jiang Fan, as the daughter, didn't say anything, but she was actually quite happy inside.

"Honey, so according to your wishes, should we still come home a few days a week from now on?"

Jiang Fan doesn't care about anything else now; what she wants to know most is whether Luo Yang will still come back every weekend and stay in Yang City for a few days, just like before.

"Well, there won't be any major adjustments."

Luo Yang affirmed, "Some time ago, I had the company's technical staff develop an office software, which is currently in trial use. This OA system allows most company matters to be processed online, freeing me from being tied to my desk."

"Eh?"

Upon hearing the new term, Jiang Fan seemed curious: "Honey, what is an OA system?"

"OA is short for Office Automation, which is a new type of office that combines modern office work with computer technology."

Luo Yang smiled and explained, "The OA system is one of the most frequently used systems by enterprise employees and managers. It can efficiently process business activities, increase the efficiency of communication between employees, thereby achieving the goal of improving productivity and efficient resource utilization."

"Is this OA software system really that easy to use?"

After listening to the detailed introduction, Jiang Fan looked up at Luo Yang again: "Should we also set up an OA office software system for Yuanfan Group?"

"I think I can give it a try."

Luo Yang thought for a moment and said, "After all, all three companies under Yuanfan Group are planning to go public, and they will face very complex management system issues in the future. The OA system can cover high-frequency collaboration scenarios within the enterprise, such as mobile attendance, expense reimbursement, document receipt and dispatch, electronic contracts, paperless meetings, etc. It not only improves the efficiency of collaborative office work, but also leads the future collaboration and management model of enterprises."

"Isn't it very troublesome to develop such a system?"

With so many advantages, it sounds like a high-end system, so Jiang Fan's first reaction was that developing such a system would require a huge investment.

"How should I put this thing?"

After thinking for a moment, Luo Yang replied, "It's not difficult, but it's not easy either."

"."

Jiang Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes, because those words were essentially meaningless.

"Don't roll your eyes, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Luo Yang couldn't help but give Jiang Fan a small punishment again before saying, "I don't understand technology, but our company hired a team and spent about a month developing it. Although the function is a bit simple now, the company is still small and doesn't need anything complicated for the time being."

The entire system is only used at the group level and has not been extended to branch offices.

When Luo Yang decided to develop an OA system, he also decided to adjust the group's structure, including the branch offices. Once the structure was adjusted, some branches would be gone and some new ones would join, requiring further adjustments.

Moreover, the businesses of the branch offices are different. If they are all integrated into one architecture, the functions and database of the entire OA software system will become complicated. It would be better for each branch office to develop its own office software system, which would be simpler and more convenient.

These were also points raised by the technology R&D team to Luo Yang. It's important to understand that a large-scale OA system needs to support multiple functions, such as document management, scheduling, task allocation, and online collaboration. These functions may have complex interactions and dependencies, requiring in-depth requirements analysis and functional design.

Moreover, OA systems involve multiple technical fields, such as front-end development, back-end development, and database design. It is necessary to select appropriate technology stacks and development frameworks, and design a reasonable system architecture to ensure the system's performance, stability, and scalability.

For small and medium-sized companies, the price of a basic OA system is generally around tens of thousands of yuan. Larger companies, however, may require more powerful OA systems, which could cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan.
"That"

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Fan asked directly, "How long and how much would it cost to develop an OA system suitable for Yuanfan Group?"

“Yuanfan Group is neither too big nor too small in its current size. Moreover, the electric vehicle sector is currently in the process of going public. After the official listing, all aspects will experience a period of growth. I don’t know much about this area. Dad should know the most.”

In fact, it's not just the electric vehicle sector; the photovoltaic and new energy battery sectors will also be seeking listings, and the likelihood of them becoming listed companies is quite high. Therefore, Yuanfan Group will experience a period of rapid growth in the next few years.

It wouldn't take long to tailor an OA (Office Automation) software system to the current scale.

"Fanfan, different OA systems offer different functional modules, and therefore the prices will vary. If more functional modules are needed, the cost will increase accordingly. If the company has special needs and requires custom development, this will incur additional costs. The complexity and workload of custom development will also affect the final price."

Luo Yang then added, "For small and medium-sized companies, the price of a basic OA system is generally around tens of thousands of yuan. For large companies, a more powerful OA system may be needed, and its price may be as high as hundreds of thousands or millions of yuan."

"That's alright."

For a company like Yuanfan Group, hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars is not a large expense.

Putting aside other things, companies spend hundreds of thousands to millions of yuan every year just on factory infrastructure and maintenance.

So Jiang Fan smiled easily and said, "If that's how it's calculated, let's just follow the structure of a large company and get it done all at once. Anyway, it won't cost much money, and it will save us from upgrading and replacing it again and again, which would not only waste money but also energy and time."

This doesn't sound like something a finance major would say; it unmistakably reflects the style of a spoiled young lady.

"It's not just about system development costs, but also service and maintenance costs."

Luo Yang smiled and said, "The implementation and service fees for the OA system, including on-site service fees and other additional project fees, as well as subsequent maintenance fees, are linked to the duration of OA usage, which is equivalent to a lifetime contract."

"So you just hired a bunch of R&D staff?"

Jiang Fan winked at Luo Yang and said, "But I think it's a bit wasteful. After the research and development is completed, are we going to keep this group of people just for later maintenance?"

“My group also has a video website and an e-commerce platform, and both of these companies need professionals in this field.”

Luo Yang smiled and said, "The team we recruited will later be spun off into a separate software technology company. Their clients will include the group company, its subsidiaries, and other companies in our industry. Of course, these are just the basic businesses; they will also develop their own business in the market."

"Hehe, does that mean I've become your client?"

Jiang Fan's beautiful eyes darted around, and she looked at Luo Yang with a radiant smile: "Little Luo, do you need any business now?"

Gee.
"Jiang Xiaofan, you have a good appetite. You're hungry again soon after you've just finished eating."

Seeing Jiang Fan's appearance, Luo Yang's anger flared up instantly.

He glared at the girl in his arms: "So you dare to provoke me like this? You're not planning on getting up for dinner, are you?"

They've been through the same thing before, killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of their own; they know each other inside and out.

Jiang Fan could only describe it as a mixture of love and fear.

"Eh?"

Jiang Fan avoided the limelight and changed the subject, saying, "We were just having a good business discussion, how did it turn into me provoking you?"

As he spoke, he deliberately revealed a smiling look in his eyes.

"Is Assistant Jiang trying to solicit a bribe from me?"

Since he enjoyed playing, Luo Yang decided to play along.

Jiang Fan served as Jiang Yuanshan's assistant, so it's not wrong for him to use that title here.

"Hmm, you decide what to do."

The smile in Jiang Fan's eyes grew even wider, spreading to his face.

Once she got into character, she smiled and looked at Luo Yang, saying, "If you can satisfy me, I'll leave this business entirely to you. A deal worth millions is a piece of cake!"

Luo Yang decided to do everything he could to satisfy Assistant Jiang.

The business talk lasted from around 3 p.m. until a little after 6 p.m.

Back when Zhao Zilong was forty years old, he rescued Liu Bei's son, Liu Shan, at Changban Slope, fighting his way in and out seven times. Netizens calculated that it took him about eight hours. Luo Yang, who was only in his early twenties, was slightly more skilled and only took three hours.

Luckily, we still had instant noodles at home, otherwise this dinner would have turned into a midnight snack.

After enjoying the feeding in bed, Jiang Fan fell into a deep sleep, while Luo Yang remained awake, lying next to her and using his phone to process many approval processes in the OA system.

Around nine o'clock, Luo Yang put on his pajamas, left his bedroom, and went downstairs to the living room.

After lighting a cigarette, he dialed the phone to contact Jiang Yuanshan.

“Beep. Beep.”

After the dial tone rang for seven or eight seconds, the phone was finally answered.

"Dad, this is Luo Yang. Is it a convenient time for you to talk now?"

Before Jiang Yuanshan could speak, Luo Yang asked his father-in-law if it was convenient for him to talk.

"I just got back to my room not long ago."

A familiar voice came through the phone: "You went back to Yang City today?"

Luo Yang told Jiang Fan the day he returned to China, and Jiang Yuanshan naturally learned of this information as well.

The fact that they're calling so late means they must have found out about your trip to Nanjing from your daughter.

"Yes, I'll be back once I adjust to the time difference."

After answering Jiang Yuanshan's question, Luo Yang continued, "I went to Yuanfan Building this morning, intending to talk to you about my trip to the United States and ask you a few questions. However, Fanfan mentioned that you were taken to Nanjing by High-Ranking Official He this morning, so I was just curious to ask."

"Your thinking is quite sharp."

Jiang Yuanshan chuckled on the other end of the phone and said, "Yes, you guessed right, it's related to our plan to invest in the new energy vehicle industry."

Good heavens, this matter has been reported to the provincial level by that high-ranking official, He.

Is it because they know Yang City can't keep such a large project, and they're planning to exchange it with the provincial government?

"Dad, we haven't reached a consensus on this matter internally yet."

Luo Yang joked, "What if it doesn't work out? Wouldn't that turn a good thing into a bad thing?"
