Gathering

Just last month, Xiao Yi had seen the news that Hua Long Technology was inspecting various provinces in the mainland, with an intention to set up in the provincial capital of Nanjiang Province, but it hadn't been finalized yet, only stating there was a seventy to eighty percent chance.

Next to the red banner that read "Hua Long Technology" was "Zhong Wei Technology." This name also sounded familiar to him; he seemed to have seen it somewhere before, likely in an official local newspaper or television report.

Zhou Feiyu stood beside Xiao Yi, and Xiao Yi's change in expression was naturally noticed by him. He smiled slightly and simply explained, "Leader, this is Hua Long Technology, ranked number one among mobile phone ODM manufacturers. It is also Feiyang New Material's first customer, and a relatively important one. They have also sent people from Peng City to attend Feiyang's opening ceremony. They are on their way and will arrive soon."

Xiao Yi nodded slowly. This news surprised him a little; the strength of this new company, Feiyang New Material, was somewhat extraordinary.

Raising tens of millions and having a valuation of over a hundred million would indeed surprise and excite Xiao Yi, prompting him to attend in person to congratulate them. But compared to the actions of Hua Long Technology, which involved investments of tens or even hundreds of billions, it shocked Xiao Yi and even made him feel solemn.

There was no other reason; the scale of the two was completely different!

If he could attract Hua Long Technology to invest and build a factory in Nanjiang County, bringing that super-large project that was supposed to invest over a hundred billion in the provincial capital to Nanjiang County, then his contribution would be immense, easily securing his promotion.

This is a big deal, it's better not to indulge in such unrealistic fantasies.

Xiao Yi quickly extinguished this little thought. He was a big leader in Nanjiang County, but when viewed in the context of the entire Nanjiang Province, he was as small as an ant. If he were to pull the project that Hua Long Technology was investing in the provincial capital to Nanjiang County, it might not be a good thing, but perhaps a bad thing. This was a major event.

Xiao Yi then asked about the other companies, "President Zhou, are Zhong Wei Technology, Qian Jia Technology, and Di Guang Optics also Feiyang's customers?"

"Zhong Wei is considered one for now. We are currently in the sample submission stage and haven't started mass production orders yet."

Zhou Feiyu smiled and explained, "As for Qian Jia Technology and Di Guang Optics, these two should be my competitors."

Xiao Yi found it very strange and immediately asked, "Competitors are sending you banners? Is there something special about this?"

"It's very simple. Their products are too outdated and not as advanced as mine, so they are eager to cooperate with me."

Zhou Feiyu answered simply, his expression very calm, but the meaning revealed in his words was incredibly domineering.

Winning by strength!

Xiao Yi completely understood and thought to himself, Good heavens, he's not being polite at all. It seems his technical strength is not just ordinary; my previous assessment was too conservative.

Xiao Yi thought of the patents that Feiyang New Material had applied for.

Undoubtedly, only a strong person with advanced patents, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, could possess the strength to make competitors bow their heads and show courtesy.

"Feiyang's technological strength is indeed extraordinary!"

Immediately, Xiao Yi praised him and then mentioned, "President Zhou, I see that Feiyang has applied for so many patented technologies. You are fully qualified to participate in the county's High-Tech Torch Program evaluation. Why haven't you submitted the materials?"

Zhou Feiyu was delighted and quickly said, "Thank you for your concern, Leader. Feiyang will submit the materials tomorrow."

Even if he were slow-witted, hearing the leader say this, he would know that he wasn't really asking why he hadn't submitted the materials, but rather reminding him that he could submit them.

"Okay!"

Xiao Yi nodded with satisfaction.

Time passed minute by minute, and the people who came to show their support also arrived one after another.

The leader of the group from Di Guang Optics this time was still Vice President Xiao Weidong.

Qian Jia Technology's boss, Yang Jiacheng, didn't come. The person who came was the Board Secretary, Wen Changhua, who was also a high-ranking executive at Qian Jia Technology, equivalent in level to a vice president. He had come with Yang Jiacheng last time and was considered "acquainted" with Zhou Feiyu.

Four or five people came from Zhong Wei Technology. Besides Zhou Feiyu's old acquaintance Peng Fan, the others were quite unfamiliar. After being introduced by Peng Fan, he learned that the leader was Chen Xi, the Executive Vice President of Zhong Wei Technology, the one he had spoken to on the phone that day, a well-known figure with a considerable reputation in the mobile phone industry.

"President Zhou is indeed young and promising!"

Seeing him in person, Chen Xi couldn't help but feel a great sense of emotion.

Many people from Hua Long Technology also came. The team was led by Zhao Yongyong, a Vice President in charge of strategic investment business. The others included Wu Feng, a project director, Wang Wei, Zhou Feiyu's old classmate, and another manager responsible for procurement and a manager responsible for quality.

Zhou Feiyu naturally exchanged pleasantries with Wang Wei.

Facing the people from Hua Long Technology, Zhou Feiyu's attitude was even more enthusiastic, as they were a customer who had placed an order.

The display industry, especially the mobile phone display industry, is not small, but it's not large either. The executives of Zhong Wei Technology and Hua Long Technology might not be familiar with each other, but they definitely knew each other. When they met here, they naturally greeted each other. As for Qian Jia and Di Guang, the two material manufacturers, they were even more familiar with the people from Zhong Wei and Hua Long. They were all suppliers to Zhong Wei and Hua Long, and they had done a lot of public relations work. Seeing them at this moment, after a moment of shock, they also stepped forward to greet them.

"President Xiao, it seems that Feiyang New Material has already won over both Hua Long and Zhong Wei."

At the subsequent ceremony, Xiao Yi spoke on stage, congratulating Feiyang New Material on its opening. The people from Qian Jia and Di Guang sat below the stage. Wen Changhua, the Board Secretary of Qian Jia Technology, couldn't help but whisper to Xiao Weidong, the Vice President of Di Guang.

Xiao Weidong shrugged, his tone calm. "No choice, their material is good."

Wen Changhua looked up at the stage, then continued in a low voice, "Regarding the investment, I don't think there's much hope for our two companies. Looking at the stance of Hua Long and Zhong Wei, especially Zhong Wei, even President Chen has come out. It seems they are determined to invest. It's possible that Feiyang will go into Zhong Wei's embrace."

Xiao Weidong chuckled and looked at him, asking in return, "President Wen, do you really think so?"

Wen Changhua looked puzzled and said, "Doesn't President Xiao think so?"

Xiao Weidong shrugged again, then said nothing more, only cursing inwardly, They are all old foxes, why are you playing 'Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio' with me?

"...Once again, I thank all the leaders and friends for attending the opening ceremony of Feiyang New Material Technology Co., Ltd. The company has prepared a sumptuous lunch, and everyone is invited to join us for a meal later. Thank you!"

There was nothing much to say about the ceremony. It was just some polite and lively words, inviting leaders and friends to speak a few words on stage, and then Zhou Feiyu, the host, went up to give a speech, talking about the plans for Feiyang New Material. In fact, it didn't have much significance.

However, although these things were insignificant, many things in life are insignificant. It is precisely these insignificant things that make life not seem so dull and boring, but full of vitality.

The ceremony ended with Zhou Feiyu's words of thanks, followed by inviting everyone to have lunch and holding the afternoon talks.

In fact, the main event was in the afternoon, and everyone present knew it well.

"Huh, what are they doing here?"

After getting off the stage and inviting people to the cafeteria, Li Shihan, who was walking beside Zhou Feiyu, suddenly looked towards the factory gate. There, a back figure surprised her greatly. It was her Second Aunt's Husband, Li Xingwen.

Zhou Feiyu was startled and looked in the direction she was looking. He immediately saw the familiar back of Second Aunt's Husband, Li Xingwen, hurriedly pulling a young man away from the factory gate. The figure was very familiar.

So it was him!

Zhou Feiyu's thoughts stirred, but then he just smiled and didn't pay attention to this incident, which wasn't even a minor interlude. He said to Li Shihan, "Let's go."

"...30% of the shares for 30 million. In addition, our Hua Long is willing to cooperate with President Zhou with the greatest sincerity. We will not participate in any future R&D project management work, and will only participate in production operations and financial management to a limited extent."

Qian Jia and Di Guang, as suppliers, had their talks scheduled last. Hua Long Technology, as a customer who placed an order, was scheduled first for talks, and Zhong Wei Technology second.

The county leaders and Director Dong's group went back after lunch. Before leaving, they didn't forget to urge Feiyang New Material to submit the application materials quickly, and also gave Zhou Feiyu their private phone numbers, telling him to contact them if he needed anything.

Turning around, Zhou Feiyu first began negotiations with Hua Long Technology. The people from Hua Long had also been waiting for a long time.

After some initial pleasantries, Zhao Yongyong, the Vice President of Strategic Investment at Hua Long, presented Hua Long's conditions. Obviously, these conditions were proposed after much investigation.

Zhou Feiyu shook his head before he even finished listening. "Too low."

Zhao Yongyong smiled and said, "President Zhou, please let me finish. In addition to the above, Feiyang New Material can leverage Hua Long Technology's large platform to quickly acquire almost all domestic customers who can use the FY-01 material, and even global customers. This is something that no other company can compare to. I believe that it would take at least five years for Feiyang New Material to achieve this on its own. How many five years are there in a lifetime? I also believe that President Zhou will not only develop the FY-01 material. Is President Zhou willing to waste these five years managing this one material?"

Good heavens, his words both praised Zhou Feiyu and pointed out the facts, giving the impression that only Hua Long Technology was the correct choice.

However, Zhou Feiyu remained unmoved.

Wang Lei and Li Shihan beside him also didn't react much. They had heard Zhou Feiyu explain before. Only Xiao Jianguo was excited and mentally stimulated, feeling a little breathless. At this moment, he had only one thought: No wonder my old classmate dared to start a business. So he's this awesome? Damn! I was right to come back this time. I deserve to be rich for the rest of my life!
