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

Chapter 515 Ouyang Shaoqiang Arrives in Nanxin
Fang Qingye then smiled and said, "Your method will work too."

"Actually, it was Meimei who suggested it. She said that many companies, especially in real estate, like to borrow money to develop. They seem to be large in scale, but they are actually weak inside. Private enterprises are not like state-owned enterprises. They have very poor risk resistance. When they encounter difficulties in operation, banks do not think of providing financial support but rather withdrawing loans. This is completely different from how they treat state-owned enterprises. Kerry has already made a similar mistake and cannot repeat it in the future."

"Yes, that's true."

"Tomorrow I plan to visit several bank presidents to ask them not to withdraw loans. President Su of Dongfang Bank has already agreed. Is there no problem with you?"

"Don't worry, if the loan is due, you will have to repay it as required, but you can submit the necessary documents to apply for a loan renewal," Fang Qingye said.

"He really is a good brother," Song Dahai remarked.

“However, Da Hai, settle this bill for us first.” Fang Qingye suddenly remembered the receipt for the rented seedlings that Fang Fei had given him.

As he spoke, he took out the receipt from his pocket. "So that Fang Fei won't say that I, as her uncle, am not taking care of the nursery."

Song Dahai stared at the receipts worth several thousand yuan, paused for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

"No problem! Meimei will process it for you when you go to work tomorrow!"

Song Dahai is busy with the affairs of Kerry Group every day, and he is no longer the carefree man who used to drive a BMW and earn a salary of 3000 yuan.

It is said that when he drives past Shijiaba Market, he slows down to greet his former colleagues or watch the city management officers shouting to maintain order from afar, perhaps thinking about the happy days of the past.

But life has no turning back; we all have to move forward.

Whether they are poor or rich.

May arrived quickly. After spending the May Day holiday in Nanxin, Bai Ou went back to work in Shanghai.

Fang Qingye's work focus remains on Jinghai Bank, and he has decided to postpone his original plan to open an internet bank and P2P business.

First, improve the bank's internal management and integration, including talent development and technology reserves.

Especially the P2P business, which is like opening Pandora's box, must be handled with caution.

Banks no longer require employees to be in the office all day. They can go there in the morning to handle work and then spend the afternoon at the nursery, ostensibly to check on Huacheng Development.

In addition to her daily work, Fang Qingye also kept a close eye on the Japanese stock market, as an opportunity was just around the corner.

Tonight, while logging into my email, I suddenly received an email from Hong Kong, sent by Ouyang Shaoqiang.

In the email, he said that, as instructed by Fang Qingye, he had spent the past two months researching the stock markets of major developed countries, including Japan. He discovered a problem: investment funds have increasingly flowed from emerging market countries to developed countries in the past year.

Furthermore, in the US and Germany, where the economy is showing signs of recovery, stock prices have reached record highs. The same is true for the Japanese stock market, and he offered some specific recommendations for stock purchases.

Fang Qingye carefully read the email.

Yes, not bad.

Ouyang Shaoqiang's research is quite thorough, and his choice of stocks, Fang Qingye, seems good. Both the fundamentals and technical indicators of the stocks are quite suitable, including his choice of the Nikkei index.

It's a pity that we didn't take into account the shamelessness of some international financial giants, who, in collusion with certain American politicians, are about to wreak havoc on the global stock market!
You can't blame them; they weren't reborn.

At the end of the email, Ouyang Shaoqiang added that he would be coming to Shanghai in a couple of days on official business and hoped to meet Fang Qingye.

“No problem! But I’m in my hometown of Nanxin County right now. If you want to come, you can contact my wife in Shanghai, and she will send a car to take you.” After sending an email to the other party, Fang Qingye went online to browse other content.

The next morning, Fang Qingye received an email from Ouyang Shaoqiang. In the email, Ouyang Shaoqiang said he was very happy to be visiting Mr. Fang's hometown. He mentioned that he had never been to an inland county town before and would consider this trip a wonderful journey. "Heh, this Ouyang Shaoqiang is quite the smooth talker," Fang Qingye chuckled upon seeing the email.

Fang Qingye then dropped the matter.

Ouyang Shaoqiang attended a senior investment manager exchange meeting between Guotai Junan Securities in Shanghai and Guotai Junan Securities in Hong Kong. The meeting lasted two days in Shanghai, during which the two sides had in-depth exchanges on the domestic and international economic situation and the trend of the securities markets of several major countries this year.

After the meeting, the colleagues from Hong Kong had a great time exploring Shanghai. Many of them were visiting Shanghai for the first time, including the Bund, the Oriental Pearl Tower, and the City God Temple. They had a wonderful time.

However, immediately after Ouyang Shaoqiang finished the meeting, he contacted Ms. Bai Ou, the CEO of Tuofang Technology. Ms. Bai Ou had already received the news from Fang Qingye and expressed her welcome. Finally, they decided to set off for Nanxin early the next morning.

It's drizzling today.

Ouyang Shaoqiang sat in the Audi, looking out at the misty rain. The city's skyscrapers were quickly left behind, and large tracts of farmland appeared all around. It was the wheat harvest season.

The wind rustled through the wheat fields, and in the distance, white walls and red tiles stood, reminding Ouyang Shaoqiang of the phrase: "Jiangnan in the misty rain."

After a journey of more than two hours, we finally arrived in Nanxin County.

After getting off the highway, Ouyang Shaoqiang called Fang Qingye.

"Mr. Fang, I've already exited the highway and will be heading into the city soon."

"Have the driver navigate to the Chundu Hotel. I've already arranged for someone there to book a room for you," Fang Qingye said over the phone.

"Thank you."

Ouyang Shaoqiang soon arrived at the Chundu Hotel, where he was greeted by a girl named Zhang Xiaorui, who introduced herself as the office director of the Siji Nursery and Flower Company, and said that she was there on behalf of General Manager Fang Qingye.

"President Fang isn't at the bank?" Ouyang Shaoqiang was a little surprised.

He also knew that Fang Qingye had several companies in mainland China, so logically he should be working in a prestigious institution like a bank.

“He likes to stay in the nursery,” the girl replied, helping Ouyang Shaoqiang with the check-in procedures.

The driver drove back to Shanghai himself. Ouyang Shaoqiang quickly washed up at the hotel, then picked up his briefcase and went downstairs to meet Fang Qingye with Zhang Xiaorui.

"I'm sorry, Manager Ouyang, I can't drive, so I'll have to trouble you to ride on my electric scooter," the girl said apologetically.

Sure enough, there was a small electric scooter parked at the entrance of the hotel lobby.

“It’s alright.” Ouyang Shaoqiang readily agreed.

So I sat on the back of the electric scooter and drove northeast, enjoying the street scenery as I went.

The rain stopped.

This is a very ordinary small town in the south. Perhaps the girl took a shortcut and walked along a rather old street. The arcade pillars were mottled, and faded billboards were interspersed with signs of modern milk tea shops. The carved iron windows on the second floor were half-closed, and blue-printed cloths drying in the sun swayed gently in the wind.

As he walked and admired the scenery, Ouyang Shaoqiang soon arrived at the Four Seasons Nursery Company. When the electric vehicle drove into the nursery gate, he was stunned.

He will never forget what he saw.

Not far away, Fang Qingye was wearing a crew neck shirt, barefoot, with his trousers rolled up, digging a ditch with an iron shovel. You would never guess that he was a person with a net worth of billions.
