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

Chapter 648 Shall our two companies engage in a complete strategic partnership?
The Maybach stopped at the entrance of the nursery, and Fang Qingye personally went to the door to greet it.

Besides herself, Ma Yun was accompanied by a man named Li Tianjin, her personal bodyguard, who was said to be a Tai Chi master.

"Mr. Ma, please come in and have a seat, have some tea," Fang Qingye warmly invited.

"Come back and have a drink, fishing is the priority," Ma Yun said.

"alright, please wait."

Fang Qingye didn't stand on ceremony. After returning to the nursery and tidying up briefly, she got into her Mercedes and drove out of the nursery towards the outskirts of the city.

This time, we went to Yingchi in Baipu Town.

In the car, Fang Qingye took out her phone and called Wang Lei.

"Wang Lei, what about what I told you a couple of days ago?"

"Don't worry, Qinglin, I'm waiting for you back home right now."

"Alright, let's set the time for 5 pm. We can just grab something to eat for lunch."

"Okay. Do you need me to bring you food?"

"No need, anglers don't care about these things, haha."

It is early May now, and the lotus leaves have fully unfurled. Pink and white lotus flowers are scattered among the green leaves, and the tracks of fish swimming can be seen under the water. Occasionally, bubbles rise from the silt.

The weather was nice today, a cloudy day. The two chose their spots and started fishing, while Yue Kai and Li Tianjin stood vigilantly a short distance away, observing the surroundings.

The real intention is not in the wine, and Fang Qingye's purpose today is not merely to fish.

Fang Qingye sat on a small stool, looking at Ma Yun who was fishing seriously a few meters away from him, and said, "President Ma, a few days ago, Chen Danlu, the vice president of our Jinghai Bank, visited President Zhang Jianfeng in Hangzhou."

"Looking for Zhang Jianfeng?" Ma Yun turned her head to look at Fang Qingye.

"Yes, we want to discuss a collaboration with Taobao and Tmall."

"The results of it?"

"I was ruthlessly rejected by Mr. Zhang."

"Hehe." Ma Yun laughed, "There's a business that Zhang Jianfeng doesn't do? Don't tell me, I'm guessing it's data, right?"

"Haha, that's right, did you order this, Mr. Ma? That we won't do data business with anyone?" Fang Qingye joked.

"Not to the point, but Zhang Jianfeng should understand the importance of data to Taobao and even the entire Alibaba."

“I do need your Taobao and Tmall data, but all of it. I only need the data from Jinghai,” Fang Qingye said.

"Mr. Fang, what new idea are you coming up with this time?" Ma Yun asked.

"This time it's not; it's to complete a task assigned by the city government."

Fang Qingye briefly told Ma Yun about the small-scale agricultural microcredit conference she had attended in the city some time ago, and how she and the three vice presidents had discussed solutions.

"This is the best solution I can think of to the problem of 'banks being unwilling to lend and farmers being unable to get loans,' especially in the future when online shopping becomes mainstream," Fang Qingye said.

Ma Yun didn't speak, but looked up into the distance.

In the distance, there is a wheat field. It is early May, and the wheat is almost ripe. A gentle breeze blows and the wheat waves roll.

He turned his gaze back to Fang Qingye: "Last year, Alibaba launched a program called the 'Thousand Counties, Ten Thousand Villages Plan,' aiming to invest 10 billion yuan over 3-5 years to establish 1000 county-level service centers and 100 village-level service stations, helping agricultural products reach cities and industrial products reach rural areas. Agriculture and rural areas have great potential."

“That’s right, after all, there are nearly 3 million rural workers, but the first thing to solve is the financial problem. If the problems facing rural finance are not solved well, there will be no future,” Fang Qingye said.

Jack Ma naturally understood what Fang Qingye meant. After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly said, "How about we have a complete strategic partnership, Mr. Fang?"

"What do you mean?" "Your Ele.me and my Taobao and Tmall are exchanging user consumption data! If our two data can be shared in some way, it's an endless treasure trove! The era of big data is coming! I dare say, in the future, whoever controls the data will win the world!" Ma Yun said.

Fang Qingye was somewhat stunned.

Holy crap, such ambition?!

"What, are you afraid of Tencent?" Ma Yun continued, seeing Fang Qingye's silence. "Tencent doesn't have an e-commerce background; this is our domain!"

"I'm not afraid of Tencent," Fang Qingye said slowly. "I'm afraid of the regulatory authorities. Do you think they'll approve of what we're doing?!"

This time, Ma Yun was stunned. She looked at the wheat field in the distance, sighed softly, and fell silent again. After a while, she said, "I'll give Zhang Jianfeng a heads-up. Have Chen Danlu talk to him again."

"Ok."

After finishing their business, the two focused on fishing.

Yue Kai ordered takeout for lunch. An Ele.me delivery rider came from town on an electric bike, took a plastic sheet from the bike and spread it on the ground. Everyone sat on the ground. Fishermen don't care much about these things.

Around 5 p.m., everyone prepared to head home. Ma Yun had a good catch this time, having caught 4 crucian carp and 2 grass carp, all about half a foot long.

"Let's go to my classmate's house for dinner tonight. I've already told him," Fang Qingye said warmly.

"Your classmate?"

“Yes, he’s my high school classmate. His hometown is in a nearby village. Sometimes when I go fishing with county leaders, I go to his house for dinner. It’s very quiet there,” Fang Qingye said with a smile.

"Hehe, then I shall respectfully accept your offer."

"Let me tell you, Mr. Ma, his parents are also excellent cooks. The most authentic Bai Pu dried tofu in Nanxin comes from here!"

Ma Yun left Nanxin at noon the next day. Besides drinking tea with Fang Qingye in the nursery, Fang Qingye also gave him a pot of spring orchids, Song Mei, before leaving.

After seeing Ma Yun off, Fang Qingye didn't wander off; she stayed with Bai Ou.

With my due date approaching, the doctor said I should move around frequently to help with labor. However, there are many cars and dust on the roads outside, so it's safer to stroll around the nursery.

After the two finished their meal in the nursery, Bai Ou, dressed in loose maternity clothes, leisurely looked at the orchids and touched the blooming roses, her belly protruding. Fang Qingye followed carefully beside her.

Today is Labor Day, and there are no workers at the nursery, so it's very quiet.

Bai Ou naturally knew about Fang Qingye's meeting with Ma Yun, and since Ma Yun had already agreed, the matter was very likely to succeed.

"Ye Zi, we need to develop a more suitable risk control model for this data from Taobao. Who do you plan to entrust with it? Lu Hui's Hengrong Data Technology?"

"Yes, developing various software and models for banks is my role for Hengrong Digital Technology. Jinghai Bank is not good at this, so let professionals handle the professional tasks."

"Yes, Ye Zi, now that this is done, Jinghai Bank can use this data and process it through a model to obtain a relatively accurate user credit system. You can then report back to Mayor Hu."

“But this method is not widely applicable. Ma Yun would never give this data to other banks. The fact that Jinghai Bank is using it is only because of my influence,” Fang Qingye said with a smile.

“That’s true.” Bai Ou nodded.

“However, in the future, we can adopt another model,” Fang Qingye said.

"What mode?"

Just then, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the sky. Bai Ou looked up and saw a miniature drone made in Xinjiang.

Since DJI's drone production base was established in Nanxin last year, it officially started production during the Spring Festival this year. Not long ago, DJI's latest generation Phantom 3 series was launched and immediately received enthusiastic market response.

Many people in Nanxin County also bought them, including those from the Four Seasons Nursery. Fang Fei bought one for the nursery, saying that she could use the drone to dynamically check the growth of potted flowers, or perhaps sit in the office and see if the workers were slacking off.

“Actually, we can rely on him too.” Fang Qingye pointed to the drone flying in the sky.
