Chapter 740

Governor, Chen Yang this kid is hiding deep! He silently took over the production and sales rights of Fruit Company's peripheral products.

Early in the morning, Huo Yunyan rushed to the governor's office to complain to Liu Jianghua. She had thought Chen Yang had withdrawn from the Fruit Company's OEM competition, but he unexpectedly opened another route, directly taking the production and sales rights of the peripheral products.

East River Electronic Factory invested huge manpower and material resources, even wining and dining the Fruit Company's representatives and inviting them to Dongjiangsheng for inspection, yet they could only earn a bit of hard‑labor money. Meanwhile Chen Yang oversaw nothing, with the factory building just begun, but he secured the online sales rights for all Fruit Company products and the self‑production, self‑sales rights for the peripheral products. Upon hearing the news, she almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Liu Jianghua could not miss the sour note in Huo Yunyan's words, and said lightly: "Director Huo, isn't this good? You produce the main products, they produce the accessories, complementing each other and progressing together. Only then can Dongjiangsheng's electronic technology development become more prosperous."

Seeing Liu Jianghua support Chen Yang's actions, Huo Yunyan said rather dissatisfied: "Governor, we painstakingly set up the stage, yet we can only earn a bit of hard‑labor pay. Chen Yang takes care of nothing, just moves his lips, yet he enjoys the good life—this is too unfair!"

Hearing this, Liu Jianghua laughed and said: "Director Huo, you can't say that. Without Chen Yang pulling strings, you wouldn't even have the chance to do OEM for them."

Besides, they must cooperate with Chen Yang to open the domestic market. I estimate that the production and sales rights of these peripheral products are the exchange condition between them.

Huo Yunyan actually also guessed this possibility. But the elites of the Provincial State‑owned Assets Commission and East River University of Technology had worked hard for over half a year, only to end up setting the stage for Chen Yang to perform… The more she thought about it, the more she felt stifled.

"Governor, could you possibly speak to Chen Yang and let him transfer the production rights of Fruit Company's peripheral products to us? They would only handle sales."

Liu Jianghua furrowed his brows and said: "If you take away the production rights of Fruit Company's peripheral products, what will happen to Chen Yang's new electronic factory?"

Huo Yunyan said dismissively: "That electronic factory has only just broken ground; it can switch to other industries. I heard his Old Hundreds Shoe Company is doing well, and we could totally set up a branch in Xingcheng!"

"No!" Liu Jianghua immediately rejected Huo Yunyan's contact. He said solemnly: "The Old Hundreds Shoe Company is a key enterprise currently under focus in Qingshui City. Comrades Kong Jie and Lin Jianguo have repeatedly expressed that they do not want the province to intervene again. For Qingshui City's economic development, I and Secretary Cheng have decided to support their work."

Huo Yunyan felt a bit regretful upon hearing that. After all, the Old Hundreds Shoe Company Limited had only formally started production half a year ago, yet its workforce already exceeded ten thousand. If we could also set one up in Xingcheng, it would definitely contribute a lot of GDP to Xingcheng.

"Governor, Chen Yang is this time sending a technical team to Fruit Company for inspection and study. If you insist on letting us compete fairly with him, shouldn't this inspection team also be given us some spots?"

Liu Jianghua looked at Huo Yunyan with a surprised expression and said: "When you negotiated with Fruit Company, didn't you think about going there to learn some experience?"

Huo Yunyan said with an embarrassed expression: "We did bring it up, but they refused. They said they would send a technical team to Xingcheng to guide the work, so there's no need for us to travel."

Liu Jianghua's face immediately turned grave. What he sees and what others want you to understand are definitely different. Even if they go to Beautiful Country, the other side will surely take some precautions. But he feels that as long as the inspection team is willing, they will definitely learn a lot of knowledge.

"Director Huo, then you pick a few sharp people to make preparations. As for Chen Yang's side, I'll go talk to him."

"Good!" Seeing Liu Jianghua agree, Huo Yunyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as everyone learns the same technology, she believes East River Electronic Factory still has the ability to overwhelm Chen Yang and ultimately seize the production rights of Fruit Company's peripheral products.

After all, East River Electronic Factory possesses the strong talent reserve base of East River University of Technology, while Chen Yang can only pick talent from private colleges in Xingcheng. The two are completely incomparable!

……

Chen Yang was in a meeting at the Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company when he received Liu Jianghua's phone call, and he immediately paused the meeting.

"Governor, what are your instructions?"

"Chen Yang, you kid are not bad—you landed several big deals in one go; I congratulate you here!"

"Thank you for your concern, Governor! For the economic development of Dongjiangsheng, we will surely devote ourselves until death."

"Hehe, someone like you I can't bear to part with. I heard you're sending an inspection team to Beautiful Country to study—can't you allocate a few more spots?"

"Governor, it won't be the people from East River Electronic Factory going, will it?"

"Hehe, you guessed right. However, I have no other intention—I just want them to learn more knowledge and contribute more to the future development of Dongjiangsheng's electronic technology."

"Governor, since you've spoken up, I definitely can't refuse. But I won't be responsible for their overseas expenses!"

"No problem, all expenses for this inspection team's trip to Beautiful Country will be covered by the province."

"Thank you, Governor!"

After Liu Jianghua's phone call ended, Chen Yang then turned his gaze to Zhong Feiyan beside him.

"President Zhong, East River Electronic Factory might send a few people to go with you to Beautiful Country. Once you get the list, please trouble yourself to communicate with Mr. Feil."

Zhong Feiyan said angrily: "The people from East River Electronic Factory really have thick skins! Yesterday they were still snatching our business, and today they want to tag along to Beautiful Country to learn technology—what kind of good deal is that!"

Chen Yang actually also looked down on Huo Yunyan's behavior, but since Liu Jianghua had spoken, he couldn't easily refuse. So he reminded Zhong Feiyan: "President Zhong, this is the province's arrangement; we still must put the bigger picture first. Once we're in Beautiful Country, we must definitely look out for each other and stay united. Don't ever let foreigners laugh at us."

Zhong Feiyan sighed, feeling helpless, and said: "You're the boss, you don't care, what can I, a subordinate, say?"

Chen Yang smiled and comforted her, saying: "Manager Zhong, even if East River Electronic Factory snatches away our business, it's useless. Without a strong sales platform to support them, the products they produce can only gather dust in the warehouse."

Zhong Feiyan heard this, the corners of her mouth slightly rose, and said: "Without the Old Hundreds E-commerce Platform helping to sell goods, their salespeople would probably have to set up street stalls."

As soon as she finished speaking, not only Chen Yang but the entire conference room burst into laughter.

One week later, Zhong Feiyan and Luo Hao led a team of over twenty people to Beautiful Country to begin an inspection trip. Among those accompanying them, aside from the six people arranged by East River Electronic Factory, the rest were technical elites from the Old Hundreds E-commerce Platform's technology department and Public Pass Payment Co., Ltd.

During this trip to Beautiful Country, besides the normal technical exchanges, Chen Yang also hoped that Luo Hao's technical team could learn more about mobile app technology.

After the first-generation fruit phone enters the domestic market, he hopes that the apps of Public Pass and the Old Hundreds E-commerce Platform can be listed in the fruit phone's app store.
