Background / History

Nanjiang County was initially characterized as a small, remote fifth- or sixth-tier inland county with limited resources and little national profile. Its real economy had fewer than ten companies valued above 100 million yuan; most larger local businesses were in real estate rather than manufacturing or technology. Patent-owning manufacturers were especially rare. 25 39 57 94

The county became a destination for competing optical-material companies after Zhou Feiyu invited representatives from Di Guang Optics and Qian Jia Optics to negotiate there. Hua Long Technology and Zhong Wei Technology soon followed, recognizing Fei Yang New Material’s potential. 20 31

Fei Yang investment and industrial development

In the early stages of Fei Yang’s expansion, county leaders identified the company as a prospective pillar enterprise. Fei Yang New Material’s numerous patent applications and investor interest persuaded Xiao Yi to publicly support its development. 39

Hua Long, Zhong Wei, Qian Jia, and Di Guang formally signed cooperation agreements in Nanjiang County under the witness of its top leader. Their 100 million yuan investment established Fei Yang Optical Material Technology Co., Ltd. in the county, making the signing a leading local news event. 41 42

Nanjiang County accelerated Fei Yang Optics’ factory construction by supporting utilities, internet access, staffing, and other preparations. The company’s management team included personnel from its four partner companies, while Di Guang deputy general manager Xiao Weidong became general manager. 48

When Eagle Country sanctioned Fei Yang Optics, county authorities treated the potential disruption of imported electronic-grade PI film as an urgent threat to both Fei Yang’s future and the county’s planned material-development strategy. The county held an emergency meeting and pledged comprehensive support. 57

Rise to prominence

Fei Yang’s success transformed Nanjiang County into a nationally discussed location. Zhou Feiyu’s reputation as the “Nanjiang County Genius,” combined with Fei Yang’s technological achievements, repeatedly brought the county onto trending topics. 54 112

The county’s May Day Gala featured Fei Yang’s 3D holographic display technology. The event drew widespread online attention, with “Nanjiang County,” the gala, and Fei Yang becoming major trending topics. 110 111 112

By this period, Fei Yang had become Nanjiang County’s defining enterprise. The company attracted major businesses, returning local graduates, outside talent, and prospective investors; the county expected its quarterly GDP to double, from the previous year’s 10 billion yuan to a potential 20 billion yuan for the year. 143

Technology hub and public infrastructure

County officials actively pursued Fei Yang’s potential entry into humanoid robots, offering land, expedited approvals, and possible interest-free loans. Zhou Feiyu accepted land behind Fei Yang’s new factory for another facility, while initially planning to focus on robot-related materials rather than full humanoid-robot production. 208

After Fei Yang announced its Lithium-Air Battery, corporate leaders from Zhongzheng, Xiaomai, Oupai, Weiwo, Tianji, Dream, Jiang Da Innovation, Thousand Degrees, Dapeng, and other companies rushed to Nanjiang County. The sudden influx increased ticket sales and traffic, and county leader Xiao Yi saw the visits as a major investment opportunity. 228 229

Fei Yang later used Nanjiang County’s newly completed sports center for frequent product launches, bringing investment, talent, attention, and greater state support to the county. 284

By a later period, the county’s streets included wide roads, holographic projection screens, and robots, giving the formerly small county a notably futuristic appearance. 397

Security and Surveillance

Fei Yang’s influence made the county a highly protected base for Zhou Feiyu. During one security operation, authorities persuaded remaining foreign nationals and nonessential domestic outsiders to leave the county. 125

Following espionage-related incidents, county authorities treated Fei Yang’s secrets as state secrets. The county’s importance to Fei Yang also made local business figures wary of associating with companies perceived as hostile to Fei Yang. 247

Galaxy, Fei Yang’s artificial intelligence, secretly expanded surveillance across Nanjiang County through a public-welfare streetlight installation plan. The county welcomed the plan and awarded Fei Yang an honorary certificate, while the actual system was intended to provide countywide monitoring and remove surveillance blind spots. 266

Within Nanjiang County, Galaxy’s monitoring and information capabilities made Fei Yang’s base difficult for outsiders to penetrate. Zhou Feiyu’s influence there was described as “solid as an iron barrel.” 266 311
