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

Chapter 527 You're better than your brother! You're responsible! The company can't do without you!
The financing meeting of Dajiang Company lasted for three days and achieved the predetermined goal. Once the 4 million yuan raised is in place within the time limit required by the contract, the company will immediately proceed with the next step of expanding production.

Bai Ou and the others did not immediately return to Shanghai, because a delegation of more than ten people, led by Wang Haoyang, the county magistrate of Nanxin County, including Fang Jianhua, the deputy county magistrate in charge of industry, and directors and staff from departments such as development and reform, investment promotion, and trade, headed to Pengcheng to meet with senior executives of DJI and discuss investment matters.

As a newly appointed director of the board, Bai Ou naturally had to stay and facilitate communication between the two parties.

However, due to her special status, she did not participate in the specific negotiation process, but only acted as a liaison.

After three more days of contact, DJI executives said they would send a team of senior executives to Nanxin for an on-site inspection.

Bai Ou explained these situations to him in detail, and his second uncle, Fang Jianhua, also called him to discuss the contents of the negotiation.

Fang Qingye's view is that he has found companies for them, but whether they stay or not depends on their sincerity. After all, he only owns 10% of DJI and his decision is not final.

Fang Jianhua seemed quite confident about this: "The county is showing great sincerity this time, with unprecedented preferential conditions. Our Nanxin has good geographical conditions and infrastructure, and it's very close to Shanghai, which is conducive to foreign trade exports. The Dajiang leaders are quite interested, and with your help, this investment will definitely be finalized!"

Ah?
However, Fang Qingye knew that this time, he couldn't just ignore the investment like Shi Guangrong did in Wuyang County. He still had to take care of the things that needed to be taken care of.

Bai Ou flew back to Shanghai from Pengcheng on Friday. After returning to the villa, she drove back to Nanxin not long after arriving, intending to spend the weekend with Fang Qingye.

She usually comes back on Fridays, and then the two of them go to her parents' house for dinner. Every time the young couple goes back to her parents' house, her mother cooks a delicious meal.

After dinner, I would chat with my parents, then drive to Fang Qingye's parents' house to visit my in-laws. I would chat with them for a while, and then return to my own little home in Lakeside Residence around 10 pm. The next day, I would visit Fang Qingye's grandparents at the nursery. This was basically the routine for me.

Today, the young couple returned from Fang Qingye's parents' house. As soon as their car arrived at the gate of their villa, they saw a man and a woman walking towards them.

"Dahai, Chen Meimei!" Fang Qingye called out.

"Did your parents come over just now?" Song Dahai asked.

"Yes, we went back to visit? What brings you here? Shall we come up for a seat?"

"Okay, I have something to talk to you about."

"You guys go in first, I'll park the car," Fang Qingye said.

Bai Ou ushered the two into the courtyard, while Fang Qingye went to park the car.

After Song Dahai and Chen Meimei got married, they also moved to Lakeside Villa. His new house was in a row of villas at the back. Unlike Fang Qingye, who lived there only occasionally, the two of them lived there almost all the time.

Both of them were busy with the company and had even hired a nanny to cook for them.

When Fang Qingye entered the house, Bai Ou had already taken out grapes, watermelons and other fruits from the refrigerator and invited the two of them to eat.

"Bai Ou, we're all family, no need to be so polite," Song Dahai said.

"This isn't just politeness; it's helping us get rid of these fruits and vegetables," Bai Ou said. "I'm often not home, and Ye Zi often forgets about them, so the fruits and vegetables I buy for him often go bad in the refrigerator."

“The same goes for the sea; if you don’t put it in front of him, he won’t remember it,” Chen Meimei chimed in.

Hearing his wife's nagging, Fang Qingye and Song Dahai quickly grabbed a slice of watermelon and started eating.

"Ye Zi, my brother has been sentenced," Song Dahai said while eating.

"How many years was he sentenced to?" "Four years."

“It’s relatively light,” Bai Ou, sitting next to Fang Qingye, said. “According to relevant laws, Da Cheng’s case falls under the category of a serious major liability accident, resulting in three or more deaths or ten or more serious injuries, punishable by imprisonment of three to seven years. Da Cheng’s four-year sentence is relatively lenient.”

"Yes, I hired a well-known lawyer in the city, Mr. Zhou, and actively compensated the victim's family for their losses, so the court's sentence was relatively lenient."

"Four years will pass quickly. What about your sister-in-law? Is she divorced?" Fang Qingye asked.

"They got divorced. After the incident, my sister-in-law filed for divorce, and my brother initially disagreed. Later, my brother changed his mind, but my sister-in-law changed her mind again. However, in the end, my brother insisted on the divorce, and all their joint property was left to her, except for the children."

"To be honest, my sister-in-law's actions broke my brother's heart."

"Now that the judgment has been obtained, the two parties have completed the divorce procedures. But my nephew is still temporarily living with his mother at her parents' home."

Upon hearing Song Dahai's words, Fang Qingye couldn't help but recall an old saying.

Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately.

The topic was rather dull, so Fang Qingye changed the subject: "Dahai, how's the company doing these days?"

"Things are gradually returning to normal. Yesterday I went to see Secretary Lu, and he said that the county has approved the meeting minutes, and the Housing Management Bureau will soon issue a document, allowing Kerry Group to resume normal operations," Song Dahai said.

Fang Qingye laughed and said, "As long as we can resume normal business, sell houses, and resume construction, Kerry Group will be considered to have come back to life."

“Yes, this matter actually relies on my uncle. He worked in the city for decades and knows some leaders. Although he has retired, he still has connections. Otherwise, Kerry wouldn’t have allowed you to resume business so quickly. It would have been strange if they hadn’t investigated you for half a year,” Song Dahai said with emotion.

"And the banks are basically not withdrawing their loans. Your Jinghai Bank, Dongfang Bank, and Agricultural Bank have agreed to continue lending. It's just that China Construction Bank hasn't been settled yet. That President Zhang is hard to talk to. China Construction Bank is the main bank for real estate companies' loans."

Fang Qingye pondered for a moment after hearing this, and said, "I only have a nodding acquaintance with Director Zhang of the county branch of the Construction Bank, but I am quite familiar with Director Yang of the city branch of the Construction Bank. He is my college classmate. I will take you to the city to meet him at a convenient time, and try to get the Construction Bank on board as well. That will basically solve the funding problem."

“That’s great! Keep in touch and contact me anytime,” Song Dahai quickly said.

"Okay, I'll call and ask about it tomorrow."

"Ah, thanks to you and your husband, my uncle, and Meimei, we really owe Kerry this whole thing," Song Dahai said with emotion.

“Meimei does all the work at the bank, including organizing the company’s financial accounts and allocating funds. To be honest, I’ve wasted all these years. I don’t know anything and I can’t do anything.”

"Who said that? Dahai, although it was your uncle's idea, you still have to walk many paths yourself. And your other friends, although they couldn't help much, they helped a lot with small things. Tanaka Tani, Qian Xiaoli, Liu Min, now everyone in the group knows that you are better than your brother! You are responsible! The company can't do without you!"

The speaker was Chen Meimei.

Hearing his wife's praise, Song Dahai felt a little embarrassed, but his eyes were full of pride.

In any case, the most difficult period for Kerry Group is about to pass.

She's such a good wife.

Fang Qingye sighed inwardly, knowing that what men need most at this time is encouragement, especially from their closest loved ones.
