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

Chapter 259 The road is boundless
Song Dahai paused for a moment before saying, "I'll lend you 600 million. It's my personal money, and that's all I have right now."

"Thank you, thank you for lending me the money for a year. How much is the interest?"

"Why do you need interest? Just use it," Song Dahai said.

"How about this? I won't talk about private lending rates, how about we just use the one-year fixed deposit rate from a bank?" Tanaka Tani said.

"up to you."

Fang Qingye didn't speak for a moment, but after thinking for a while, she said, "Zhonggu, I'll come to your company tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow."

Tanaka Tani was surprised that Fang Qingye was going to his company at this time, but he still nodded in agreement.

"Alright, there's always a way out." Fang Qingye patted him on the shoulder. "Don't think about it anymore. Come on out and have fun, go sing with the pretty girls!"

The girl named Xiaoli, who was sitting next to Tanaka Tani, immediately grabbed Tanaka Tani's hand and said sweetly, "Come on, Mr. Tanaka, let's go sing karaoke."

"Let's go, let's sing!"

Tanaka Tani walked to the song request booth, picked up the microphone, and sang loudly:

Men, cry, cry, it's not a sin.

Taste the long-lost flavor of tears.

Even rain is a kind of beauty.
Andy Lau's "Men Don't Cry"

Fang Qingye and Song Dahai were fine after playing at the Great World until after 10 pm, but Tanaka Tani got completely drunk and the two of them had to take a taxi to send him home.

The next morning, after Fang Qingye got up and ate breakfast, she remembered what had happened the day before and took out her phone to dial a number.

It was a call to Bi Yadi's partner, Xiang Yang.

The call was quickly connected, and Fang Qingye said, "President Lü, hello. Do you have time today? I'd like to visit you at your company to discuss some matters."

"I have a meeting this morning, Mr. Fang. Please come over this afternoon at 2:30."

"Ok."

At 2 PM, Fang Qingye drove straight to the industrial park. As soon as her car entered the gate, she saw Wang Lei wearing a work badge and holding a document.

Wang Lei also saw Fang Qingye's car, so he quickly came over to greet her: "Qingye, are you looking for County Chief Miao? He's not here; he's gone to a meeting in the county."

"I'm not looking for County Chief Miao, I'm looking for General Manager Lü of Biyadi. We made an appointment in advance," Fang Qingye said.

Looking for a partner?
What do people do when they're looking for a partner?
Wang Lei naturally couldn't ask.

However, this classmate of mine is incredibly resourceful. He's not only familiar with county leaders, but also on friendly terms with some big bosses in the county. And now, he's even gotten involved with the CEO of BYD.

"How's work going?" Fang Qingye asked.

"It's much easier than before, much easier than in the township," Wang Lei said with a smile.

Wang Lei now works in the administrative office of the management committee, responsible for organizing meetings, transmitting documents, and other tasks. Today, he is wearing a casual suit and looks much more energetic than before, when he always looked disheveled.

After chatting for a few moments, Fang Qingye continued driving inside. Although the entire industrial park was built for BYD New Energy Vehicles, BYD did not occupy all of it; there were still some vacant standard factory buildings, mainly for future tenants.

Fang Qingye drove along the industrial park avenue for a few more minutes before arriving at the BYD factory area. After registering, she arrived at the entrance of the office building, parked her car, and went upstairs.

Lu Xiangyang's office was on the second floor, with a sign that read "General Manager." When Fang Qingye knocked on the door and entered, she saw Lu Xiangyang sitting behind a large desk, looking at documents.

Seeing Fang Qingye enter, Lü Xiangyang put down the documents in his hand, stood up with a smile, and greeted her, "President Fang, please have a seat. Xiao Liu, pour President Fang some tea!" Soon, a pretty female employee who looked like a secretary poured tea for Fang Qingye and then left.

“Mr. Fang, my tea is not as good as the tea you drink,” Lu Xiangyang said.

“It’s all the same.” Fang Qingye took a sip of his drink and exchanged a few more pleasantries before saying, “President Lü, I’m here today to discuss matters with my friend, Pioneer Components Company.”

Before Fang Qingye could finish speaking, Lü Xiangyang looked troubled: "President Fang, I explained to you on the phone that this is a headquarters regulation. Although I am the vice president, I cannot violate the headquarters' regulations."

"Mr. Lü, you've misunderstood. That's not what I meant," Fang Qingye said with a smile. "I don't know much about automotive technology. I came to you today to inquire from a different angle. Mr. Lü, please tell me the truth: what is the quality of the brake discs produced by my friend's company? Do they really meet your company's requirements?"

“There shouldn’t be any problem with the product quality. Minister Wang from the purchasing department even talked to me about this issue.” After saying that, Lu Xiangyang hesitated for a moment, then said, “How about this, I’ll call the purchasing department and have them send someone to explain it to you.”

"Thank you very much."

A few minutes later, a middle-aged man in his forties wearing blue overalls and glasses arrived. Lü Xiangyang explained to Fang Qingye, "This is Wang Xiyuan, the deputy director of our engineering and technology department and a senior engineer. He is specifically responsible for cooperating with the purchasing department to test and audit the products of supporting suppliers. Let him speak for us."

Fang Qingye shook hands with him and explained her purpose. Then she heard Wang Xiyuan say, "President Fang, the brake discs produced by Xianfeng Stamping Parts Manufacturing Company are ventilated discs, which are also known as hollow discs. These brake discs are lightweight and have high manufacturing requirements, which perfectly meet our company's requirements. Unfortunately, their mass production cannot meet our company's requirements."

"So, if their company's mass production meets your requirements, they can become your company's supplier?" Fang Qingye asked.

Wang Xiyuan did not answer directly, but glanced at Lü Xiangyang before saying, "From the perspective of product quality and technology, I personally think it is acceptable."

“Hehe. Minister Wang is rather cautious in his speech.” Lu Xiangyang interjected, “President Fang, I have also spoken with County Head Hu and County Head Miao of your county. We are very happy to see local companies in Nanxin become suppliers for BYD. Let’s put it this way: if Pioneer’s annual production capacity can meet our company’s requirements, I can make them our brake disc supplier!”

"Thank you, Mr. Lü, and thank you, Minister Wang."

Fang Qingye didn't waste any more time. She said goodbye and left the industrial park. Seeing that it was only 3:30, she still had time. After thinking for a moment, she called Tanaka Tani.

"Nakatani, are you at the company right now? I'll come over."

"I'm here, come on."

Fang Qingye immediately drove to Liulin Town and arrived at Xianfeng Stamping Parts Company, where he was received by Tanaka Tani.

Perhaps because he drank too much last night, Tanaka Tani was somewhat listless.

"Zhonggu, may I visit your newly built production line?" Fang Qingye asked.

"can."

Fang Qingye followed Tanaka Tani downstairs to the workshop, the same factory where Fang Qingye used to store his computer while mining. It had been renovated, and now there were rows of neat production lines, with workers busily at work.

"To be honest, Aoba, this production line of mine is the most advanced brake disc production line in the country. It's almost entirely automated: loading and unloading, preheating, painting, baking, cooling, rust prevention, and air drying are all precisely controlled by computers." Tanaka Tani sighed again.

Fang Qingye didn't say anything, and then enthusiastically toured the company's newly built R&D center. By the time she finished, it was almost six o'clock.

"Let's go have a meal together," Tanaka Tani said.

Fang Qingye did not refuse.

The two ordered a few dishes in town, and while eating, they talked about the matter again. Tanaka Tani looked worried as soon as he mentioned it.

Seeing his expression, Fang Qingye smiled and said, "Zhonggu, I have a way to help you get through this difficult time."

"What method?" Tanaka Tani's spirits immediately lifted.

"I'll lend you the funds," Fang Qingye said slowly.
