Chapter 184

Currently, the Pingyang municipal government is headed by Yao Zhurong, the father of Yao Luoying. Since he is coming to inspect the newly promoted second-largest import-export trade company in Pingyang, Yao Luoying is naturally more than aware of it.

"You've worked hard these past few days!"

Li Dongling looked at Yao Luoying, who was leaning on his shoulder. Her face looked weary at this moment, and she had thinned out a bit over the last few days, which only highlighted a certain bony beauty.

Yao Luoying looked at Li Dongling's expression, rolled her eyes at him, and stuffed a grape into his mouth, though there was a hint of a smile at the corners of her eyes.

After eating a few grapes, Yao Luoying suddenly stopped swinging her fair, slender legs, sat up straight, and looked toward Li Dongling.

"If Feiyan Technology can truly go public within these two years, whether it's listing on NASDAQ, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, or the Shanghai Stock Exchange, I will resign from my position as General Manager of Feiyan Technology!"

Yao Luoying's sudden words left even Li Dongling stunned for a moment. Looking at the Yao Luoying before him, Li Dongling felt she wasn't joking.

"If possible, I hope to serve as the manager of the Zhixing Foundation, managing charitable causes like the Qilin Award!"

Yao Luoying looked straight at Li Dongling with a soul-stirring gaze; the meaning behind her words was already self-evident.

Yao Luoying is not a woman with a heavy career ambition. If she serves as the General Manager of Feiyan Technology and then takes it public, she will have effectively proven herself, already counting as an outstanding figure among female professional managers!

As for going a step further, entering the Dongling Gao Ke Board of Directors, or fighting for power and profit, Yao Luoying had never thought about it; she didn't have that kind of heavy career ambition or utilitarianism.

Even now, Yao Luoying's tenure as General Manager of Feiyan Technology has been filled with constant gossip, especially recently, as Feiyan Technology's orders have exploded, making it the focus of the domestic tech industry.

Rumors regarding Yao Luoying's rise to General Manager of Feiyan Technology have spread all sorts of gossip, such as her getting the position because of her relationship with Yao Zhurong, or various rumors about her and Li Dongling.

If she were to truly enter the Dongling Gao Ke Board of Directors, Yao Luoying felt that public opinion would likely boil over, which would be unfavorable for both Li Dongling and Yao Zhurong.

If she were to develop a rift with Li Dongling, or even become enemies, because of her career or fighting for power within Dongling Gao Ke, that is not what Yao Luoying wants.

Different personalities have different fates. Some people have heavy career ambitions and, for the sake of their goals, may give up many things—such as family, love, kinship, friendship, and so on—eventually becoming the person in media reports who reaches the pinnacle of life and enjoys the spotlight...

But Yao Luoying's mindset lets her know that knowing when to retreat at the height of success is the best choice. From childhood to adulthood, she has always understood what she wants!

Looking at the Yao Luoying before him, Li Dongling's gaze was complex, and his expression couldn't help but become momentarily dazed.

Watching the expression on Li Dongling's face, Yao Luoying's bright eyes couldn't help but curiously look at his face. That look made Yao Luoying feel as if Li Dongling had experienced countless things, making her unable to resist gently stroking his face.

Focusing his gaze, Yao Luoying's face appeared before him. Li Dongling looked at her for a moment, then smiled, "Whatever you decide is fine; I support your decision!"

A smile appeared on Yao Luoying's face. She got up, lightly pecked Li Dongling on the face, picked up her things, and walked outside.

The next day, the newly appointed Yao Zhurong brought a group of people from the Pingyang municipal government to inspect Feiyan Technology.

Regarding Yao Zhurong taking over Luo Junwu's position, there was no disagreement within the Pingyang municipal government; Yao Zhurong's power now is even greater than Luo Junwu's was at the beginning!

And as soon as he took office, Feiyan Technology became a major taxpayer and exporter, directly giving Yao Zhurong a "big gift package" upon his arrival. This gift alone was enough for him to sit firmly in his current position.

There is also the Shangguan Economic Development Zone and the Torch Group currently under construction. Once they start operating, tens of thousands of jobs will be created across Pingyang, which will also become a brilliant stroke on Yao Zhurong's resume!

With Feiyan and the Torch Group, it is enough to ensure that Yao Zhurong will raise Pingyang's entire GDP by a large margin during his term. Not to mention the existence of Dongling Gao Ke—everyone knows that after Yao Zhurong's term in Pingyang, he will definitely have a smooth career path. Everyone in the municipal government is sharp; who would want to offend such a person? Therefore, since Yao Zhurong took office, the entire Pingyang municipal government has been almost entirely at his beck and call.

"Mayor Yao!"

Feiyan Technology is still in the same office building as Dongling Gao Ke, and this is Yao Zhurong's first inspection since taking office. Li Dongling gave Yao Zhurong plenty of face, and a group of Dongling Gao Ke executives came out to welcome his arrival.

After Yao Zhurong shook hands with Li Dongling with a face full of smiles, he then walked into Dongling Gao Ke together with Li Dongling in a friendly manner.

Yao Zhurong had been to the Dongling Gao Ke office building several times before, but in the past, when Yao Zhurong came over, he was always following behind Luo Junwu. This time, however, his status is different from before.

Looking at Dongling Gao Ke again, Yao Zhurong had different feelings, but he understood that Dongling Gao Ke was definitely one of the key factors in his ability to succeed Luo Junwu this time. No matter where he is transferred in the future, Yao Zhurong estimates he will never be able to forget this place!

"Currently, the Feiyan A10 has exceeded 5.5 million units in domestic sales and has initially entered overseas markets. It is performing steadily in places like Germany, France, and Italy, with overseas sales currently at around 110,000 units!

Global orders for the Dolphin radio have exceeded 2 million units, and orders are already scheduled through the second half of the year!"

In the conference room, Yao Luoying said to the group of Pingyang municipal government personnel. Hearing this, a smile couldn't help but appear on the faces of everyone present.

Whether it is the Feiyan A10 or the Dolphin, both are currently selling very well. While Feiyan Technology has certainly earned a massive amount of revenue, it has also increased jobs and tax revenue for Pingyang.

Since last year, the emergence of Dongling Gao Ke has allowed Pingyang's finances, which were stretched thin due to the downturn of many state-owned factories, to take a big breath of relief.

Now with Feiyan Technology, compared to the rest of Hanxi, Pingyang can finally stand tall. Not to mention comparing it to the provincial capital, at the very least, compared to its neighboring brother cities, life for the Pingyang municipal government is clearly much easier!

"Starting from the second half of the year, in addition to continuing to optimize the A10 and Dolphin radio projects and continuing to develop mini-radios, Feiyan Technology will also enter new fields!"

Yao Luoying continued. These words caused the somewhat noisy conference room to instantly become quiet. Yao Zhurong couldn't help but cast his gaze toward Li Dongling, who was sitting to the side.

"The field of car radios and car audio equipment will be the next field and key research project that Feiyan Technology will enter!"

"Wow!"

Hearing that Feiyan Technology was suddenly going to change course and enter the car radio field still surprised the Pingyang municipal government side. They are all sharp people; how could they not hear what Feiyan Technology was planning to do?

It was clear that they were not planning to expand the production capacity and scale of mini-radios anymore, but instead were going to switch paths and enter the car radio and car audio equipment field. This clearly exceeded Pingyang's expectations.

The reason Yao Zhurong brought the Pingyang municipal government group over for an inspection today was actually in the hope that Feiyan Technology could expand production capacity and increase more jobs.

Starting this year, the situation of state-owned factories has become increasingly sluggish, and there are not a few that have gone bankrupt. Pingyang is also under increasing pressure, so they certainly hope that Feiyan Technology can recruit more people for employment.

Yao Zhurong looked at the group of people in the conference room, and it instantly became quiet. He smiled and asked Li Dongling, "We came here today just to inspect; we have no intention of interfering with Feiyan Technology's decisions. Is the car radio market larger than the mini-radio market?!"

"Each has its own merits!"

Li Dongling spoke up at this moment, "A person cannot hang themselves from a single tree, and the same is true for Feiyan Technology. The car radio and car audio equipment market may have a larger demand than mini-radios!"

After the meeting dispersed, Yao Zhurong did not leave but instead came to the office. He directly expressed his stance to Li Dongling, "Whether Feiyan Technology wants to do car radio business or other products, the Pingyang municipal government absolutely supports it!"

Yao Zhurong was also expressing his own attitude. Regardless of whether Li Dongling needs it or not, no matter how much risk there is in Feiyan Technology entering car radios or other industries, he will support it. Whether it is loans or land use, there will be no problems on Yao Zhurong's side.

The high-profile Feiyan Technology is the center of attention in China no matter what it does, but in America, Feiyan Technology's name is not very loud. The Dolphin radio is selling hotly, but it hasn't reached the point of attracting the attention of Silicon Valley and Wall Street. Let alone Feiyan Technology, traditional giants in automobiles, machinery, oil, and aviation are not very well-regarded in America, and their stock prices have been quite sluggish in recent years.

And just at this time, Feiyan Technology suddenly released news again, but this time it wasn't about launching some new type of radio or announcing its entry into the car radio industry, but rather Feiyan Technology announced that it would enter the currently most fashionable internet industry and launch the Himalaya FM radio station!

This sudden cross-border move left a group of domestic companies somewhat confused, not knowing what kind of tricks Feiyan Technology was planning to play. But in America, relying on the popularity of the Dolphin radio, it quickly attracted the interest of a group of Silicon Valley internet companies and venture capital firms!
