I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 150 A lavish feast surrounding Biyadi has quietly begun.
"That's really what I think," Tanaka Tani said frankly.
“Part of my company’s business is supplying car doors for automobile production, but it accounts for a relatively small proportion. If BYD comes to Nanxin to build a new production line, I would like to try to become their parts supplier.”

"Hey, why are you doing this? Isn't your company doing quite well?" Song Dahai, who was standing next to him, asked, somewhat puzzled.

"The profits are indeed quite good right now," Tanaka Tani sighed.
“Dahai, you don’t understand this industry unless you’re in it. The competition is fierce. What will happen next year if things are good this year? Nobody knows. But if we can get on the good side of BYD, I heard their annual revenue is close to 300 billion. Putting everything else aside, as long as I get all the car door production in Nanxin to work, I’ll be set for life!”

Ah?
You know what, Tanaka Tani has a pretty good eye.

Others might see BYD's investment in Nanxin as just a spectacle, but he saw it as an opportunity to make a fortune, though the risks involved were also significant.

Thinking about this, Fang Qingye pondered for a moment and said, "Zhonggu, your idea is very good, but I've heard that Biyadi is very picky about its suppliers. They not only require them to have the technology and for their products to meet their requirements, but also that Biyadi requires suppliers to advance the funds themselves! If you don't have strong financial resources, you can easily be dragged down."

"I know that. I'm currently making supporting products for other companies, and I've been putting up the costs myself. I have no choice but to do it," Tanaka Tani said with a wry smile.

"I plan to set up a research and development department in the company and buy a BYD F3DM electric car, the latest model produced by BYD, to study the material and manufacturing process of the car doors."

As he spoke, he refilled Fang Qingye's beer glass and said with a smile, "Qingye, everyone says that you are now a big shot of County Chief Hu. If they need your help in the future, you'd better help them."

It seemed Tanaka was determined to do this, so Fang Qingye smiled and said:

"What big shot? I was just sharing my thoughts on introducing BYD. If I can help in the future, I definitely will!"

"Alright, let me toast you first to express my gratitude!" Tanaka Tani said, raising his beer glass.

After the barbecue, Song Dahai didn't drive his BMW because he wanted to drink, so Fang Qingye simply took him home on her own scooter.

The evening breeze was exceptionally refreshing.

On the way back, Song Dahai, who was sitting in the back, suddenly said, "Ye Zi, do you think it's certain that BYD will invest here?"

"As I said before, I wouldn't say it's 100%, but there's an 80-90% chance," Fang Qingye replied, then added, as if remembering something, "What, your dad wants to get involved too? In infrastructure?"

“I didn’t hear my dad say that,” Song Dahai replied. “But I think our Kerry mainly develops real estate. Putting everything else aside, building such a big factory must require building employee dormitories and even planning residential communities, right? It would be good to be able to take on this job.”

“This is indeed a big opportunity, and residential development is one of your company’s strengths,” Fang Qingye said with a smile.

“Okay, I’ll go back and talk to my dad about it,” Song Dahai said.

"Hey, Dahai, didn't you say you didn't care about your company?" Fang Qingye asked.

"After all, he's Song Qingdong's son. How could I not care at all? If the family company is doing well, then I can do well too," Song Dahai sighed.

Fang Qingye listened without saying anything.

As he grew older, Song Dahai changed; he was no longer the carefree young man he once was.

Two days later, during a casual chat with Song Dahai, Fang Qingye learned that Song Qingdong had long had his eye on this piece of cake, and that it was even bigger.

When contacting county leaders, subtly express your thoughts: If BYD comes to invest in Nanxin, shouldn't the infrastructure and supporting facilities of the industrial park rely on local companies?
As the saying goes, "Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders."

The county leaders certainly understand this principle and hope that these tasks will be done by local companies so that businesses can make money. This would solve the employment problem and increase local tax revenue, so why not?
However, the negotiations with Biyadi have not yet been fully finalized, and the county leaders are hesitant to express their opinions.

A lavish feast centered around BYD has quietly begun.

Fang Qingye didn't care much about this.

Of course, if there are exceptional projects and companies, investing a portion of your own money as a shareholder without participating in their operations is also a great option. Investing in high-tech companies like Dajiang has its advantages, and investing in local, "homegrown" businesses also has its benefits.

Let's wait for an opportunity.

BYD also acted quickly, sending another high-level delegation to Nanxin in mid-June for inspection. This time, the delegation was led by their chairman, Wang Chuanfu. After the inspection, the two sides signed an agreement. BYD will invest 40 billion RMB in Nanxin to build a new energy vehicle production base with an annual output of 30 vehicles, and plans to put the company's latest E6 new energy sedan into production there.

The base is being constructed in two phases. The first phase is expected to complete all infrastructure construction by mid-2010, with the first batch of E6 cars to be produced by the end of the year.

To this end, a grand signing ceremony was held at the county government. Not only county leaders, but also provincial and municipal leaders attended, and media from the central, provincial and municipal levels were invited. A banquet was held in the evening, and Fang Qingye also attended the signing ceremony and banquet as a special guest.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening when Fang Qingye got home. She washed her face and then turned on her computer.

At banquets like this, everyone drinks in moderation and doesn't drink much, but even so, he was already flushed and made himself a cup of tea to sober up.

Just then, he saw a lotus flower avatar flashing on QQ. It was sent by Xia He, so he clicked on it.

"are you back?"

It was posted an hour ago.

"Just got back," Fang Qingye typed.

Another message came quickly: "You're not drunk, are you?"

"how is this possible?"

"Then I'm relieved. Aoba?"

"Ok?"

"I feel like your mind is increasingly elsewhere from your work."

"What, have I not been putting in any effort at work lately? Really? I've been out in the sun visiting several companies to check things out." Fang Qingye typed.

“That’s not what I meant. I feel you’ll leave the bank sooner or later.”

Fang Qingye was silent for a moment after reading the message Xia He had typed. Then Xia He typed another message:
“Hey Qingye, I’ve always planned to train you to take over my job. I’m handing over the Nanxin branch to you after I’m gone.”

"Hey, senior, you keep saying you'll leave it to me, but I haven't seen you do anything about it," Fang Qingye joked.

"Things are looking promising, and I estimate I'll be leaving Nanxin this year."

"Oh, really??" Fang Qingye was a little surprised and asked several questions in a row.

"Why, you can't bear it?"

"Yeah, with you as the bank manager, my life is so much easier! Besides, you cook so well, where am I supposed to eat when you leave?" Fang Qingye joked.

"That's easy, come with me to Huijing, I'll make it for you every day."

"Oh my gosh, senior, are you planning to take care of me?"
