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

Chapter 206 Successful opening

After finishing these matters, Fang Qingye rushed back to Nanxin that afternoon. He was the one who had to handle the matter of changing the nursery's business license.

However, this is relatively simple: open a corporate account at a bank, obtain a tax certificate from the tax bureau, and then pick up the new business license from the industry and commerce bureau.

The change of land use for a small portion of the nursery was handled with the help of Fang Qingye's second uncle, Fang Jianhua. Although the state is now increasingly strict in managing the conversion of agricultural land to non-agricultural land, making the process very difficult, the area is relatively small—only 2.6 mu in total. This was not a difficult task for Fang Jianhua, and the change of land use was completed quickly.

Kerry Real Estate's subsidiary, Longtai Construction Company, immediately dispatched a construction team to the nursery to carry out construction according to the blueprints.

Fang Guisheng negotiated the subcontracting with Mr. Zhang, the original contractor of the orchard to the east. This involved the Lianhua Village Committee where the orchard was located, but it wasn't a big deal. Once the money was in place, a meal with the village secretary would solve everything.

Everything is proceeding according to plan. Fang Qingye has already transferred 500 million yuan to the nursery company's account as an investment.

Today is November 3rd, the 11th day of the ninth lunar month, which is also the day that Nanxin Four Seasons Flower and Seedling Co., Ltd. was officially established. Fang Qingye arrived at the nursery early on his little scooter.

Fang Qingye originally intended to simply hang a white sign with black lettering at the entrance of the nursery, but her grandfather disagreed.

Since breaking ground and opening a business are both big events, we decided to consult the almanac before consulting a geomancer. So we chose this day.

Such as opening a business, haircuts, consecration ceremonies, etc.
Since the event was officially launched, someone had to make an appearance, so Fang Qingye told a few of her close classmates to come and set off some fireworks.

The nursery was under construction and in a rather chaotic state, so Fang Qingye asked Zhang Xiaoqiang, a worker at the nursery, to greet the guests at the entrance.

At exactly nine o'clock, a BMW drove up to the road opposite the entrance of the nursery. Song Dahai got out of the car, took a roll of firecrackers from the trunk, and walked over with a grin.

"Mr. Fang, congratulations on your grand opening!"

"Thank you." Fang Qingye took the firecrackers and placed them at the entrance of the nursery.

"Meimei was supposed to come, but she was too busy with work to get away," Song Da explained. "Let me represent her. I took half a day off today to help out!"

"It's alright, she's busy with her own things, there's really not much we can do to help here," Fang Qingye said with a smile.

"Hello, Grandpa Fang." Song Dahai greeted Fang Guisheng again, then glanced at his phone.

"Where's the flower basket I sent? Why hasn't it arrived yet?"

Why send a flower basket?

"Of course, opening a business is a big deal, how can we not send a few gifts?"

A few minutes later, a tricycle came chugging closer, and the young man driving it jumped off and placed a huge flower basket at the door.

Fang Qingye looked and saw that the ribbon had the names of Song Dahai and Chen Meimei written on it.

"Dahai, the nursery is under construction and we can't receive you, so please stand at the entrance for a while," Fang Qingye said again.

"It's alright, I'll take care of setting off the firecrackers later." With that, Song Dahai took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Old Master Fang, and then lit one for himself.

Immediately afterward, Liu Dong and Bi Huanhuan arrived on their electric bikes. Wang Lei, Zhang Bin, and Qian Xiaoli, classmates who were usually close to Fang Qingye, brought firecrackers and flower baskets, making the entrance lively all of a sudden.

Zhang Rong also came, delivered a flower basket, and left in a hurry, saying he had to go quickly because he was extremely busy with work.

Just then, a tricycle delivered a large flower basket. Upon closer inspection, a ribbon on it read, "Congratulations from Xianfeng Stamping Parts Co., Ltd."

It was a gift from Tanaka Tani.

Soon, another car arrived, and Fang Qingye saw Tanaka Tani get out. "Mr. Tani, it's such a small matter, yet you've come all this way in person," Fang Qingye greeted him with a smile.

"Opening a business is no small matter, and I'm sure I'll be more than just one person here," Tanaka Tani said.

Sure enough, Fang Qingye saw several cars arrive one after another. The people who came to congratulate her were all from companies that had a good relationship with Fang Qingye. Some were bosses who came in person, while others sent their subordinates to deliver flower baskets to congratulate her.

Linyuan Group also sent a flower basket!
The Nanxin branch also sent a flower basket on behalf of the organization. Wu Shengli came and said with a smile, "President Fang, President Su is too busy with work. He couldn't come in person to congratulate you, so he sent me to wish you a prosperous business."

"Director Wu, you're too kind," Fang Qingye said.

President Su is Su Ming, who was recently officially appointed as the president of the South Branch, while Zhang Qunying was also promoted to vice president. Another vice president was assigned from the city branch.

Some jokingly say that the Nanxin branch has seen a surge of talented individuals and fierce internal strife in the past two years, but unexpectedly, Su Mingcheng, who was the least conspicuous, has become the biggest winner.

However, none of this mattered to Fang Qingye.

Wu Shengli stayed for a while and then left. Fang Qingye escorted him to his car.

To Fang Qingye's surprise, Huang Feihong, the owner of Zhou Baifu Jewelry Store, also sent a flower basket.

Huang Feihong said in his very broken Mandarin, "President Fang, I wish you a prosperous business and abundant wealth."

"Thank you, thank you." Fang Qingye quickly took the flower basket, and Zhang Xiaoqiang arranged it at the door.

Fang Qingye was somewhat moved.

During the bank-wide deposit-gathering campaign at the end of last year, Huang Feihong proactively called to ask if he needed to deposit money.

He even proactively asked himself if he needed to save money, and in the end, Huang Feihong helped him solve Zhang Rong's problem of saving 500,000 yuan.

When Huang Feihong approached her, Fang Qingye knew he was after her for the position of assistant bank manager, but now that she had resigned, she couldn't help him anymore.

They still personally came to offer their congratulations!

It seems I'll have to buy all the wedding hardware from Boss Huang; otherwise, I'd feel really bad.
Tenglong Industry also sent a flower basket. Of course, Qian Weimin wouldn't come in person; it was his office director, Chen Xilin, who delivered it. Naturally, he offered his congratulations before leaving.

Just then, an Audi A8L slowly pulled up to the side of the road, and a middle-aged man in his fifties got out of the back seat.

"Dad, what brings you here?" Song Dahai was a little surprised and quickly went to greet him.

The visitor was Song Qingdong, chairman of the Kerry Group!

Song Qingdong said, "If you can come, why can't I? I'm here to congratulate President Fang!"

"Uncle Song, you're too kind," Fang Qingye said as she walked over.

"Of course." Song Qingdong said as he browsed the flower baskets left behind. Suddenly, he noticed a flower basket with the words "Congratulations from Linyuan Group" written on it. He couldn't help but joke, "President Fang, I didn't expect Shi Jingsheng to send you a flower basket as well. That guy is always so arrogant."

"I guess our nursery signed a bonsai rental agreement with their company, so we can be considered business partners," Fang Qingye said with a smile.

"Oh? Your business has even expanded to Shi Jingsheng's place? Not bad, not bad. You go and greet the customers first, I'll have a chat with your grandfather for a bit."
