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

Chapter 123 "Our Fang family's glory depends entirely on you!"

Hu Huaiwen did not mention that he led the team out for an inspection, but asked Fang Qingye directly, which clearly had the flavor of an "exam".

Fang Qingye was already prepared and not nervous at all. He smiled and said:

"I'm not an expert, but I work in a bank and often interact with businesses. Sometimes, when I chat with bosses, they say choosing a partner isn't about how big a deal you make, but rather whether you actually have the ability to deliver. I believe BYD has that capability, as last year they launched the F3DM, the world's first dual-mode electric vehicle that doesn't rely on professional charging stations, becoming the first to commercialize electric vehicles."

"This is very important. If we can make the first model, we can make the second model, and we can also quickly commercialize and mass-produce it. We want to be a new energy vehicle manufacturing base in Nanxin. If we can't commercialize it quickly, it will be meaningless to us."

"But I heard that Land Flying Boat has also produced electric cars."

The person who spoke was Fang Jianhua.

Fang Qingye glanced at his second uncle and felt a little strange.

My second uncle did not join the inspection team to Shenzhen. Why is he so interested?

But he still replied: "They are not producing electric cars, but scooters for the elderly! There is a world of difference between the two! It's like a bicycle manufacturer suddenly wanting to produce motorcycles. It definitely won't happen overnight."

"In addition, Landwind does not have the qualifications to produce cars! You don't even have the qualifications to produce cars, and you claim to be developing high-tech new energy vehicles. I think it's bragging." Fang Qingye said.

"They can cooperate with other car manufacturers, the so-called 'shell company', which is not uncommon among companies."

It was Fang Jianhua asking questions again.

Fang Qingye understood this time. In fact, the questions asked by his second uncle were the questions that County Magistrate Hu was interested in and wanted to ask, but he just asked them through his second uncle.

Thinking of this, Fang Qingye smiled slightly: "Second Uncle, the phenomenon of 'borrowing a shell company' that you mentioned does exist, but the question is, why not go to BYD, which already has the production qualifications, instead of going to Land Feizhou, which still needs a shell company? Going to the far side instead of the near side."

"There's another technical question." Before Fang Jianhua could ask any more questions, Fang Qingye continued:
"That's the type of battery used in electric vehicles! Publicly available information online shows that the Land Flying Boat still uses traditional lead-acid batteries, but BYD developed lithium iron phosphate batteries as early as 2004 and achieved mass production the following year! This battery material is highly safe, has a long cycle life, and is environmentally friendly. It is the future power source for new energy vehicles!"

After hearing what Fang Qingye said, Hu Huaiwen said, "Xiao Fang, it seems that you are very knowledgeable about new energy vehicles."

"Not really, County Magistrate Hu, I just shared some of my views based on the information I collected online." Fang Qingye was very humble.

"These opinions make sense." Hu Huaiwen nodded. "However, BYD's senior management is not easy to talk to. I can't even meet with their CEO Wang."

At the end, Hu Huaiwen sighed.

I went to BYD but was turned away?

But it’s no wonder. According to the data released in 2008, BYD’s revenue has reached 277 billion. It has production bases in Pengcheng and Xi’an. How could they take a small company like Nanxin seriously?

But that's how investment is done.

Thinking of this, Fang Qingye smiled and said, "County Magistrate Hu, I believe you must have a way to lure BYD here."

"Huh? You are more confident than me?" Hu Huaiwen laughed.

"Xiao Fang, what you said today makes a lot of sense. After our expert group carefully evaluates it and deems it necessary, I will invite BYD to Nanxin even if it means three visits!"

"Then I wish you success in advance, County Magistrate Hu and Director Miao!" Fang Qingye took the opportunity to pick up the wine glass.

"Come on, do it!"

Hu Huaiwen also picked up the wine glass and everyone drank it all in one gulp.

After the meal, Miao Hongbin wanted to invite Hu Huaiwen to sing in the karaoke bar, but was rejected: "Just have a meal, everyone go back and have a good rest."

Miao Hongbin naturally no longer insisted.

Before leaving, Secretary Duan Anping, who had been silent at the table, suddenly whispered to Fang Qingye, "Assistant Fang, what's your cell phone number?"

Fang Qingye immediately told her his cell phone number.

Duan Anping took out his cell phone, entered a number, and then dialed. Fang Qingye's cell phone rang.

"This is mine. We can contact each other if anything happens." Duan Anping said again.

"Ok."

County Magistrate Hu and Duan Anping got into the dark green Toyota Prado, a car that had been waiting for the driver outside, and left.

Miao Hongbin had also called the company's driver, but Fang Jianhua did not.

"Director Fang, Xiao Fang, how about we go together?" Miao Hongbin called out.

"It's okay, you go first, my car will be here soon." Fang Jianhua said.

"Okay, Xiao Fang, let's go fishing on the weekend!" Miao Hongbin greeted Fang Qingye again, then got into the Passat.

"Xiao Ye, let's take a few steps first." Fang Jianhua said, and the two walked forward along the road.

The night was quiet, and the sound of singing could be heard faintly from the karaoke bar not far away.

"Xiao Ye, I think you are more suitable for staying in the officialdom than me." Fang Jianhua suddenly said something out of the blue.

Fang Qingye smiled.

"Second Uncle, you're only 41 this year, right? You're already the head of the County Finance Bureau at 40, and you still say you're not cut out for government?!"

"But, to be honest, I think my ability is limited." Fang Jianhua sighed.

Fang Jianhua is right.

Fang Qingye clearly remembered that his second uncle served as the director of the Finance Bureau for several years and was later transferred to the Development and Reform Commission as the director. Both were important departments, but he was unable to get promoted any further. He lingered at the position of section chief for more than ten years until he was in his fifties, when he was given the position of vice chairman of the county CPPCC as a consolation.

There are certainly issues of personal ability, but more importantly it is a lack of connections, opportunities and resources. After all, the Fang family only has one section-level cadre, him.

Thinking of this, Fang Qingye said, "I'm not interested in being an official, but I do have some skills in making money. Uncle, just work hard and don't worry about the money. I'll fully support you! To be honest, I've made millions trading stocks."

"What, several million?!" Fang Jianhua widened his eyes in surprise.

"About seven or eight million, and there will be more in the future! So if you need money, just ask for it, and don't make any mistakes in this regard! Our Fang family's glory depends on you!" After saying that, Fang Qingye jokingly patted his second uncle's shoulder.

"You little brat, you have no respect for your elders," Fang Jianhua scolded with a smile.

"You've made so much money from stock trading. Have you told your parents?" Fang Jianhua asked curiously again.

"No, Uncle, you have to keep it a secret for me for now. If Qinglin wants to study abroad in the future, I'll cover the tuition!"

"Hey, Qinglin has really changed a lot. His grades have improved a lot. I wonder if he can get into the top high school class."

"Of course I can! If that doesn't work, find someone! Pay for the points!"

The uncle and nephew walked and talked along the path.
