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

Chapter 255 Who can blame them for being young?
Fang Qingye naturally wouldn't blame Luo Yan. If she really mentored Wang Yu properly, this junior of hers might actually become an important backbone of Tuofang Technology in the future.

Although he didn't graduate, his intelligence is undeniable.

Could we also use Luo Yan's method of rotating the finance staff who were sent to other companies?
When they graduate, give a heads-up to the heads of these companies.

Luo Yan personally came to the lakeside to supervise the construction, which put Fang Qingye at ease. The two then discussed the details of receiving city leaders for an inspection the next day, before driving home, as they had a meeting at the company that evening.

The next morning at eight o'clock, Fang Qingye finished breakfast, changed into a suit, and drove his Mercedes-Benz to the county government compound in the new city. There was a bus parked inside. When Fang Qingye parked, he saw two Audi A8s, and the license plates belonged to Song Qingdong and Qian Weimin.

Sure enough, Fang Qingye saw Song Qingdong and Qian Weimin in the courtyard. They were both dressed in suits and chatting with the bureau chiefs who were also going there. Just as Fang Qingye was about to go over, she suddenly heard someone call her: "President Fang!"

He turned around and saw a young man in a suit and tie, who turned out to be Li Le, the deputy general manager of Shengtai Industry.

Was he invited as well?
Fang Qingye found it very strange.

Shengtai Industry mainly engages in the entertainment industry, and now it is venturing into the transportation industry, which has absolutely nothing to do with manufacturing.

But it seems I don't have much to do with manufacturing.
It's not exactly true that I invested in Dajiang, but only a very small number of people knew about it.

Since the other party greeted him warmly, he should also greet them with a smile, so he walked towards Li Le.

"Qingye, I figured you'd come." Li Le's voice was lowered.

"Actually, I'm wasting a spot here." Fang Qingye looked at the small groups of people in the courtyard, most of whom were going to the industrial park for the ceremony.

There were officials like He Xiaoqi, director of the Development and Reform Bureau, Zhang Tao, director of the Industry and Trade Bureau, his second uncle Fang Jianhua, entrepreneurs, and of course, busy staff.

"How can you say that? You played a huge role in bringing BYD to Nanxin," Li Le said. "Now that the first new car has rolled off the production line, how could the county leaders forget you, their hero?"

What kind of meritorious person am I? You're just flattering me to death.

Fang Qingye was also aware that there must be a reason why she was invited to participate in this ceremony.

But as long as one has self-awareness, especially in front of someone like Li Le.

"Li Le, please don't say that. Bi Yadi's smooth arrival in Nanxin is thanks to the county leaders and many cadres. I only offered a small suggestion." Fang Qingye said modestly.

"I heard that Mayor Zhang is going to inspect your Nanxin Lake development project?" Li Le asked again.

"Yes, that's the arrangement." There's nothing to hide.

“I said at the Great World that day that this is a great project, it will bring both fame and fortune,” Li Le exclaimed.

Fang Qingye smiled slightly and said nothing.

"Mr. Fang, how about we collaborate on projects in the future?" Li Le asked again.

"Let's go, get on the bus." The two walked towards the bus.

The group arrived at the industrial park by car and stopped at the entrance of Biyadi's No. 1 factory. They were greeted by leaders from Biyadi. Fang Qingye recognized the leader as Lü Xiangyang, the vice president of Biyadi, who was now in charge of the Nanxin Biyadi production base.

The county attached great importance to this ceremony. Not only did the executive vice mayor of the city attend in person, but the top leaders of the four major county-level bodies also participated, as did Miao Hongbin, who is in charge of the industrial park.

The county's convoy arrived first, and about ten minutes later, an Audi and a Passat drove into the factory area one after the other; city leaders had arrived. County leaders and three senior executives from BYD rushed forward to greet them, and the scene appeared somewhat chaotic.

Fang Qingye and the other guests didn't move. There were too many people to crowd around, and everyone knew who should go and who should stay.

Mayor Zhang, who was in his fifties and quite plump, shook hands with a group of leaders and three senior executives from BYD. After that, Secretary Liu invited Mayor Zhang into the factory.

"Mayor Zhang, please come in."

"Wait a minute." Mayor Zhang turned around and saw a large group of officials and business guests not far away. He suddenly waved to Fang Qingye: "Fang Qingye, President Fang."

"Mayor Zhang, hello." Fang Qingye quickly stepped forward and shook hands with the two.

"President Fang, originally Secretary Liu and County Head Hu didn't recommend that you investigate the Nanxin Lake development project; it was my last-minute arrangement. How are your preparations going? Am I going a little too early?" Mayor Zhang asked.

"The company's establishment is complete, and construction will begin soon. Mayor Zhang, please give us your feedback during this inspection trip; it will boost our morale," Fang Qingye replied with a smile.

"Hehe. Giving suggestions is not allowed, since you've hired experts, so I won't interfere. However, boosting morale is fine, and I hope you can make this project a success and a model!"

Seeing Fang Qingye and Mayor Zhang chatting, Qian Weimin, who was standing not far away, sighed and whispered to Song Qingdong next to him, "Old Song, this project was done by the three of us, but he got all the credit."

Song Qingdong chuckled and lowered his voice, "Who can blame them for being young? The country is now advocating for younger leaders at all levels, but that's not really the case in the business world. Who can blame us for our kids not being ambitious enough?"

“You have two sons, that’s good, but I only have one daughter. Sigh.” Qian Weimin sighed again after hearing this.

"So what if I have two sons? Neither of them is any good! Sigh, I'm not going to say anything more."

While the two bigwigs in Nanxin County were worrying about their next generation, Biyadi's vice president, Lü Xiangyang, warmly greeted the guests who came to attend the ceremony on behalf of the company.

Fang Qingye and Lü Xiangyang knew each other before. When they shook hands, Lü Xiangyang said with a smile, "President Fang, I heard you resigned from the bank?"

“Yes, last autumn,” Fang Qingye said truthfully.

“You’re going down the same road as me. Please come in. I’m quite busy today, but I’ll chat with you when I have time,” Lu Xiangyang said.

"It's okay, you go about your business."

Finally, Mayor Zhang, along with a group of leaders and guests, entered the factory accompanied by senior executives of BYD.

Fang Qingye followed them inside and saw a red banner on the wall of the factory that read "New Car Roll-off Ceremony at the New Manufacturing Base of Biardinan".

In the middle of the factory is a modern production line, with cars that are about to be completed parked on it. The car at the front has a big red flower hanging on its front.

However, the entire production line is not running yet, waiting for the ceremony to begin.

At 9:30, under the watchful eyes of guests and television reporters, the production line started up, and the first car adorned with a big red flower slowly rolled off the production line, eliciting thunderous applause from the factory.

Following this, Mayor Zhang, Secretary Liu, and Lü Xiangyang delivered enthusiastic speeches on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee and Government, the Nanxin County Party Committee and Government, and BYD Group, respectively. Secretary Liu praised BYD for its significant contribution to the development of Nanxin, while Lü Xiangyang expressed his gratitude to the Nanxin leadership for creating such a favorable environment for BYD.
Everyone then enthusiastically visited BYD's newly built workshop, listened to a beautiful female employee explain the production process of new energy vehicles, and finally held a symposium in the conference room of BYD's office building. The discussion focused on the company's development, the supporting facilities in the industrial park, and, in particular, the issue of localizing BYD's parts procurement.

Lu Xiangyang stated on the spot that BYD very much hopes to cooperate with local enterprises in Nanxin for mutual benefit, creating a lively atmosphere at the scene.

Fang Qingye suddenly remembered that Tanaka Tani was planning to make car brake discs for BYD. He wondered how the talks were going.
