Chapter 1051: Betting on Tang Ye!

Tang Ye escorted Dou Fanggang, Dou Qingqing, and the others to the County Reception House.

"Chairman, the conditions in Yechuan County cannot compare to the big cities. If you feel it is inconvenient, please forgive me. You have been busy all day and must be tired. Please rest for a while; I will come to pick you up for dinner later."

Dou Fanggang laughed in spite of himself, "It is clear that you have put in a lot of effort. There is no need to be so formal."

Tang Ye then said to Dou Qingqing, "Junior sister, see you tonight!"

Dou Qingqing nodded and said, "Okay, see you tonight!"

Tang Ye got into the car, sat in the back row, and frowned slightly.

Although Dou Fanggang had concealed it well, he had discovered some issues.

Dou Fanggang's health did not seem very good, and he did not know what he had been through.

In Tang Ye's heart, Dou Fanggang had always been a very important person.

Because the first political achievement in his life, the thing that changed his destiny, was brought to him by Dou Fanggang.

A drop of water in need shall be repaid with a spring.

Tang Ye felt that he owed him a favor.

However, regarding this cooperation, Tang Ye felt it had nothing to do with favors.

He had sent Dou Fanggang a proposal with significant weight.

This proposal would influence the development direction of Aiou Electric for the next ten or even twenty years.

He believed that as long as Dou Fanggang read it carefully, he would definitely be interested in this business opportunity.

This proposal was also the fuse that made Dou Fanggang come to Yechuan County to inspect the project!

……

A large suite had been tidied up at the County Reception House, kept spotless, with an air purifier placed in the corner, emitting bursts of white mist.

Dou Fanggang prepared to smoke, but Dou Qingqing walked over and took the cigarette from his lips.

"Who gave you this cigarette? The doctor warned you to quit smoking and not touch a drop of alcohol."

Dou Fanggang shook his head with a bitter smile, "When I was young, I was managed by your mother; now that I am old, I still have to be managed by you."

Dou Qingqing smiled proudly, "Having someone to manage you is a kind of happiness."

A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Dou Fanggang's mouth, and he immediately took a proposal out of his briefcase and handed it to Dou Qingqing.

"This is a proposal Tang Ye gave me just before he left; take a look!"

Dou Qingqing took the proposal and said in surprise, "This is a research report on the smartphone market. How did he know we intended to enter this field?"

Dou Fanggang smiled, "If he came to our group to apply for a job, I would give him a position as a Strategic Consultant without hesitation. He does not know our group's plans, but rather deduced the conclusion through an assessment of the economic environment.

Many peers are currently entering the mobile phone field, such as Haier, GREE, and so on; some appliance companies unrelated to mobile phones have seen the potential business opportunities in the mobile phone industry.

So he guessed that we are also taking precautions and are in the midst of preparations."

Dou Qingqing suddenly realized and picked up the proposal to read it carefully, "His line of thinking is different from the perspective of the group's strategy department. He believes that mainstream mobile phone manufacturers like Nokia and Motorola will be replaced by emerging mobile phone manufacturers within the next three to five years. Is this idea too extreme?"

Dou Fanggang was thoughtful, "Although his ideas are somewhat bold and have the intention of catering to me, I feel that many parts can still be adopted.

For example, he believes that future mobile phones will be primarily intelligent, so our current research and development direction should be to design mobile phones as miniaturized computers.

In addition, he believes that as mobile phone technology gradually matures, Huaguo will occupy a place in the international technology field. In the future, not only will mobile phones become more intelligent, but cars and home furnishings will also usher in unprecedented major changes."

Dou Qingqing nodded slightly, "It is hard to imagine that this was written by a politician."

Dou Fanggang smiled, "Huaguo's civil service is a place where elites gather. Tang Ye studied under the Dean, and during his postgraduate period, he was the core of his team; he often said to outsiders that Tang Ye was his favorite student. I have observed Tang Ye, and Tang Ye has extraordinary sharpness in strategic decision-making. He had been on exchange in Shaan Province for less than a year before he handed in a perfect answer sheet.

As for this report, if a think tank company were to set a price for it, it would be worth at least three million!"

Dou Qingqing sighed with emotion, "You are very harsh on people; I didn't expect you to rate him so highly!"

Dou Fanggang laughed in spite of himself, "He does things without a single flaw; his only shortcoming is that he is too perfect."

"Is being perfect also a mistake?" Dou Qingqing asked in surprise.

"Water that is too clear has no fish."

Dou Fanggang thought to himself that his daughter still had too little experience; to become a perfect person in officialdom, one has to pay a greater price.

……

Around six in the evening, Tang Ye arrived at the Reception House to welcome Dou Fanggang to the dining location.

The people attending the dinner were all important figures in Yechuan County.

Through this dinner, Tang Ye let Dou Fanggang come into contact with these people.

If he really intended to invest in Yechuan County in the future and encountered any problems, these department heads would also know that this was an important enterprise brought in by Tang Ye and that it should be handled as quickly as possible.

After the dinner ended, Tang Ye escorted Dou Fanggang to the Reception House and then left.

After closing the door, Dou Fanggang took a deep breath and remarked to Dou Qingqing, "Tang Ye's observation skills are too strong. Did you notice that not a single person smoked at the dinner today?"

Dou Qingqing said in surprise, "Now that you mention it, I did notice. He did not urge anyone to drink, and no one present smoked. No outsiders know about your illness."

Dou Fanggang sighed, "He must have discovered it through some minute details."

Dou Qingqing nodded and muttered, "This person's hidden depths are too great."

Dou Fanggang smiled, "You aren't living with him, so what does it matter to you whether his hidden depths are great or not? I have already decided; this project is confirmed. Tomorrow, you arrange for the General Manager's Office to handle this matter. The originally planned investment of 20 million will be increased to 50 million!"

Dou Qingqing looked at Dou Fanggang in surprise, "Dad, this is too surprising!"

Dou Fanggang did not explain too much to Dou Qingqing.

This time, he was not just investing in a project, but placing a bet—investing in Tang Ye the person!

Although Tang Ye had great hidden depths, he was an upright person.

If one day something happened to him and his daughter encountered danger, Tang Ye would certainly give his daughter a helping hand for his sake.

Dou Qingqing watched as Dou Fanggang suddenly began to stare blankly, and then seeing the white hair at her father's temples, she suddenly felt a bit heartbroken.

Ever since her father was diagnosed with cancer, his personality had clearly changed.

Previously at board meetings, Dou Fanggang had always appeared very aggressive, but now he was always very silent.

Several years ago, Aiou Electric went public, and the shares were diluted.

He worried that after the news of his illness leaked, the other shareholders would have ulterior motives.

Starting from last year, Dou Fanggang had already begun letting her participate in the company's management.

Nowadays, the Yechuan County project is also a project Dou Fanggang tailor-made for Dou Qingqing.

If one day he were to meet with an accident, Tang Ye could serve as a fallback for his daughter.
