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

Chapter 780 Su Yutong has found the key point
If Luo Yang hadn't stopped him, Fu Bin would have almost rushed to Yang City.

He readily agreed, stating that Guoyang Real Estate would definitely undertake the construction of this new energy vehicle industrial park, regardless of whether it was located in Jiangning Development Zone or elsewhere.

After the call ended, Luo Yang hung up the phone and, after a short pause, dialed Jiang Yuanshan's mobile phone.

The phone rang repeatedly until it automatically disconnected.

Luo Yang thought for a moment and did not dial again.

This happens either because the phone is not nearby or it is inconvenient to answer a call.

The former is less likely, because Jiang Yuanshan is with his assistant, and it's impossible for his phone to be missing.

Sure enough, not long after, Jiang Yuanshan called.

"Yangyang, I was in the conference room with some leaders and it's inconvenient for me to answer the phone."

He explained, "I'm out now. What do you need me for?"

Jiang Yuanshan is returning to Yang City tomorrow, and he hasn't received a call from Luo Yang since last night.

In his view, that meant Luo Yang had also given up.

If things continue as they are, Jiang Yuanshan doesn't plan to wait any longer. He'll just report according to what he discussed with Luo Yang last night, leaving the success to fate. As for what happens to Official He...
Anyway, it wasn't exactly deception, since several truly valuable companies did relocate to the development zone. Even if the high-ranking official He didn't get what he wanted, he couldn't blame Lao Jiang and Luo Yang.

You should know that General Manager Jiang has already planned to relocate the core industries to the development zone. Just based on this boldness, Official He will have to use his personal connections to do so.

“Dad, after our conversation last night, an idea popped into my head. Because it wasn't fully developed at the time, I started organizing and refining the plan after we ended the call.”

Luo Yang had already prepared his reply: "I just spoke with another potential partner, and they also expressed their willingness to join us."

"Oh?"

Hearing that his son-in-law did not answer the questions he had raised, Jiang Yuanshan asked with some doubt, "And partners? Could they be the suppliers in the upstream and downstream supply chains?"

“Dad, this partner also invested in a project in our hometown, which helped the city and the land department resolve a long-standing, difficult problem.”

Luo Yang didn't follow his father-in-law's lead and continued, "Do you know about the Shuangfeng Town Industrial Park?"

"Wasn't it you who recommended this company, which is responsible for primary land development and building industrial parks, to Lao Tang?"

Jiang Yuanshan said without any surprise, "I remember you were the one who solved the problem of land occupation quotas for abandoned small chemical plants?"

Back when Tang Hailin was the head of the land and resources department, Luo Yang went to his door with the proposal and persuaded the director. The proposal was then approved by the city. Originally, the project was intended to be handed over to the city investment company, but they felt the project was too risky and backed out. In the end, Luo Yang brought in a boss from Shanghai to take over the industrial park project located in Shuangfeng Town.

Moreover, as far as he knew, both the first and second phases of the project were successful, and the company had already broken even and started making money.

"The business partner I just contacted is Fu Bin, the owner of Guoyang Industrial Real Estate."

Luo Yang first revealed the partners, and then gave a general description of the concept of the new energy vehicle industrial park.

"Dad, what do you think?"

After rambling on for a while, Luo Yang asked, "If you present this business plan, I wonder if it will fulfill High Official He's wish?"

Once He Gaoguan achieves his wish, he will definitely fulfill the conditions he promised Jiang Yuanshan.

In addition, the new energy vehicle project that Luo Yang and Jiang Yuanshan collaborated on can also solve some of the problems related to the implementation of the industry.

In addition, a major high-tech industry player has been introduced to the Jiangning Development Zone. Combining these factors, it's definitely a win-win situation.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while.

"Yangyang, your call came just in time."

Jiang Yuanshan suddenly spoke, his tone tinged with regret: "When you called just now, we were in the conference room of the Jiangning Development Zone Management Committee office building. We were told that the deputy director would be there, but so far only a deputy head of the investment promotion office is receiving us. The conversation was also rather dry, and Lao He didn't look too good either."

"Dad, did you bring your laptop with you?"

Luo Yang thought for a moment and said, "I made a business plan last night. Give me your email address and I'll send you the file. It can be used as investment material for the project. I believe it should be able to attract the attention of influential leaders."

While writing the business plan last night, although some detailed data couldn't be filled in, Luo Yang was still familiar with the process. Therefore, he roughly estimated the land area required for the entire industrial park, the overall investment scale of the industrial park, and the estimated output value within three and five years after the industrial park goes into operation.
While these data may not be 80-90% accurate, they are at least 50% reliable.

When it comes to investment projects, the initial contact is often just a concept. If the investment data discussed during the meeting can be guaranteed to be 50% accurate, that's considered pretty solid.

Luo Yang has seen many such cases.

When they first approached the local government, the investors kept talking about investments of tens of billions of yuan, projecting that the projects would generate tens of billions of yuan in output value, billions of yuan in tax revenue, create tens of thousands of jobs, and drive local economic development.
However, when the project progressed further and the various data indicators were presented, the preliminary planning scheme was finalized, and the investment amount became several billion.

To put it even more dramatically, of the billions of yuan invested, the investors could only contribute less than one billion yuan; the remaining funds needed to be borrowed from local banks with the help of the local government.
Compared to the total investment amount, it's almost like getting something for nothing.

Jiang Yuanshan remained on the phone with Luo Yang. After returning to the conference room, he asked his assistant for an email address, gave it to Luo Yang, and then hung up.

What happened next was beyond Luo Yang's control; he could only rely on his father-in-law's improvisation.

He finished the half-smoked cigarette, calmed his thoughts, and began to deal with the backlog of company affairs.

As an aside, Zhengyang Group hasn't started installing OA office software yet and is still sticking to the offline approval process, so over the past two weeks, there have been several stacks of documents that need Luo Yang's approval.

It might not be possible to resolve everything by the end of today.

Since he was coming over tomorrow morning anyway, Luo Yang didn't stay buried in his desk the whole time. After processing about three-fifths of the documents, he put down his pen and went to rest at the tea table.

Actually, it's already past 4:30, and there's not enough time left to finish everything.

He planned to drink tea while waiting for news from Jiang Yuanshan.

I'd only drunk two cups of the first pot of tea when, instead of answering the phone, there was a knock on the office door.

"Boss, President Su just called."

After receiving Luo Yang's permission, Sun Jingyu pushed open the door and came in to report, "She just got off the highway and will be at the factory in about ten minutes. She's asking if you're here."

"Eh?"

Luo Yang paused in mid-air as he poured tea: "Didn't I tell you before that you didn't need to rush her?"

"I didn't urge President Su."

Sun Jingyu's expression grew anxious: "Have you forgotten? I contacted you last weekend to ask if you were coming back. You said that you would be returning to China on Saturday. President Su must have guessed that you would be back in Yang City on Tuesday, so she..." This simpleton has suddenly become clever.

The timing is about right. Normally, I would return to China last Saturday, adjust to the time difference on Sunday, handle some business in Shanghai on Monday, and return to Yang City on Tuesday. So Su Yutong calculated the time in the same way, which is why she did not return on Monday.

"Alright, let's talk about it when she gets back."

When Su Yutong arrived at the company, it was probably around five o'clock. There was only half an hour left before the end of the workday. Luo Yang still had to pick up Jiang Fan to take her to his mother-in-law's house for dinner, so he didn't have much time to talk to her about serious matters.

Sun Jingyu probably thought of this too, stuck out her tongue, and turned to leave.

Although it was said to be ten minutes, Su Yutong was actually seen seven or eight minutes later.

"Chairman, you returned to Yang City yesterday. Why didn't you have Assistant Sun inform me?"

After sitting down opposite Luo Yang, Su Yutong, looking somewhat tired, said apologetically, "I miscalculated your return time, so I stayed in Shanghai an extra day. I had a classmate reunion last night and drank too much, so I slept until after 11 a.m. this morning."

This girl is already a CEO, how come she's so honest?
Luo Yang quickly gestured to stop her from continuing.

"This is your private matter, there's no need to tell me."

He rinsed a cup for Su Yutong and then poured her some tea: "Also, you're now a senior executive at Zhengyang Group. Even within my entire business system, you'd be considered a high-level executive. If you don't have any free time for a day or two, wouldn't I become an inhuman capitalist?"

Su Yutong covered her mouth and laughed.

After laughing, she picked up her teacup, took a large gulp, and then said, "Chairman, although I'm already in the senior management ranks, I know my own limitations. If I don't work hard and achieve outstanding results, I'll be embarrassing you."

As she said these words, Luo Yang deliberately raised her wrist and glanced at her watch.

There's still half an hour until I get off work.

He chuckled and teased, "What, Mr. Su, are you planning to keep talking until 5:30?"

Su Yutong's cheeks flushed red instantly.

"Speak, what's the matter that you rushed back so urgently?"

"It's the online sales model you mentioned last time."

When it came to business, Su Yutong's expression became serious: "Sexy lingerie is more suitable for Taobao, but the brand of Xiangshe Furen is not suitable for this platform. After you left Yang City last time, I did some market research and found that currently only Tmall is an online sales platform that matches our brand's image."

In fact, Su Yutong also researched Pinduoduo and C-Station and found that the e-commerce platform in Luo Yang's hands was even less suitable.

One company has penetrated lower-tier markets even more effectively than Taobao, while the other currently focuses on comics and other content and has not yet launched an online store model, let alone sold clothing.

"so what?"

Luo Yang looked at Su Yutong and asked, "What are you planning to do? Or how can I help you?"

"At first, I thought about whether I could imitate JD.com and create an e-commerce platform specifically for selling mid-to-high-end women's products. But after researching the market, I found that Tmall was already doing it, and doing it quite comprehensively."

Su Yutong replied, "Moreover, Tmall relies on the e-commerce giant Alibaba Group. If we want to catch up from scratch, we'll probably be wiped out before we even get started, so this approach is unrealistic."

"Your mind is still relatively clear."

After listening to Su Yutong's analysis, Luo Yang commented, "Don't even mention starting a business from scratch. My Pinduoduo has already invested tens of millions of yuan, and it can only survive in the cracks between Taobao and JD.com. It's currently holed up in a corner of South China, not daring to show its face."

Although Pinduoduo will start to ramp up its efforts after October, there's no need to talk to Su Yutong about this now.

After all, no matter how well this online platform develops, it doesn't match the style of online sales of women's clothing.

Now that we've realized this path is blocked, what are you planning to do?

As if assessing a subordinate, Luo Yang asked with a smile, "Are you planning to have Mrs. Xiangshe set up shop on Tmall?"

"This is the best solution I can think of right now."

Su Yutong nodded and said, "Chairman, that's inevitable. Tmall started strong, and the market is optimistic about it. In fact, its sales volume ranks first among similar platforms. We have no reason to give up such a high-quality channel."

"Yes, you're much more mature than before."

Luo Yang nodded in agreement with her line of thinking.

"Chairman, there's still something I don't understand."

Su Yutong rushed back to Luo Yang's office half an hour before the end of the workday, clearly not to tell her boss that her women's clothing brand was going to be launched on Tmall.

"What doubts?"

"You also mentioned live-streaming sales last time."

Su Yutong winked at Luo Yang: "During my trip to Shanghai, I asked a lot of friends and classmates, and none of them knew what live streaming platforms were currently available for selling women's clothing, except..."

At this point, she stopped.

Why did you stop talking?

"Chairman"

"Go ahead and say it, are you still embarrassed?"

This time it was Luo Yang's turn to be surprised and curious.

"There are live-streaming sales of goods in the broadcasting sector."

Seeing her boss insist, Su Yutong continued explaining, "It's that classic advertising slogan: 2-carat top-grade Austrian crystal diamond, eight hearts and eight arrows, not 98,000, but only 998."

Dead memories suddenly started attacking me.

Good guy!
Luo Yang almost exclaimed, "Wow!"
That scene was absolutely the epitome of early live-streaming sales.

Luo Yang even had a feeling that, compared to the first generation of live-streaming e-commerce on radio and television, the first generation completely surpassed the latter in terms of atmosphere and language artistry.

If the traffic volume is similar, Douyin live streaming sales may not necessarily be able to beat the first-generation sales superstars who shouted themselves hoarse.

Su Yutong found the key point.
