Chapter 1418: A Flying Mobile Phone!
Tang Ye made a phone call to Wu Zhou, the director of the Xiyang City Office in Beijing.
"Director Wu, an entrepreneur from our Dayu County is coming to Yanjing tomorrow for business. I would like to ask you to arrange a government vehicle for his transport. Also, please arrange a room for him at the Reception House. Make sure the room conditions are decent."
Receiving Tang Ye's call, Wu Zhou was clearly somewhat surprised.
Tang Ye had been studying full-time at the Central Party School for half a year, and this was the first time he had taken the initiative to contact him.
Wu Zhou knew full well that the deputy director, Li Hang, had been reassigned because Li Hang had intentionally caused trouble when he previously received Tang Ye.
Tang Ye was a trusted aide to Secretary Jiang, so Wu Zhou dared not be careless. "Please rest assured, County Magistrate Tang, we will certainly do a good job with the reception tomorrow."
After hanging up on Tang Ye, Wu Zhou immediately arranged the task.
"Chang Hong, an entrepreneur from Yechuan County is coming tomorrow. Arrange a vehicle and go to the airport to pick him up in person."
"Understood. I will go arrange it right away."
Wu Zhou was a bit uneasy. "This was requested by the County Magistrate of Yechuan County; you must take it seriously."
Chang Hong understood what Wu Zhou meant. "I won't drop the ball."
The next afternoon, Tian Yu got off the plane and, just as he exited the arrival gate, saw someone holding a sign waiting for him.
"Hello, President Tian. I am a staff member from the Xiyang City Office in Beijing, and my name is Chang Hong. I have been entrusted by County Magistrate Tang to come specifically to pick you up."
"Thank you for your hard work, Director Chang."
"This is part of our duty; please don't be so formal."
Chang Hong's attitude toward Tian Yu was extremely polite because she knew that Tian Yu was a guest whom Tang Ye had specifically requested be well-received.
Tang Ye appeared very easygoing, but in reality, he was particularly vengeful.
The deputy director, Li Hang, had been directly transferred from his post precisely because he had offended Tang Ye.
Tian Yu was arranged to stay at the Reception House under the Xiyang City Office in Beijing. Although the conditions were not as good as a four-star hotel, the location was quite good, being only two or three kilometers in a straight line from Tian An Men, and the environment was clean and tidy.
Tang Ye's thoughtful arrangement moved Tian Yu quite a bit.
This was because, although Tian Yu's company was now showing signs of improvement, it was actually just a small workshop.
He was quite surprised to receive such care from Tang Ye.
In the evening, Tian Yu took the Municipal Office in Beijing's government vehicle to the hotel where they were dining.
Tang Ye had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Tian Yu, he took the initiative to step forward and shake his hand. "Hello, President Tian!"
Tian Yu shook hands with Tang Ye firmly. "County Magistrate Tang, thank you so much for giving me this opportunity."
Tang Ye smiled faintly. "Mr. Feng shares a common hobby with you. He is an aeromodelling enthusiast, so when you chat with him later, you can focus on your shared hobby."
Tian Yu breathed a sigh of relief. "Understood, I know what to do."
About half an hour later, Feng Weiming walked into the private room accompanied by his assistant.
Tang Ye introduced them to Feng Weiming, "This is President Tian from Dayu Technology."
Feng Weiming smiled and shook hands with Tian Yu. "President Tian, it's a pleasure to meet you. County Magistrate Tang sent me your company's product as a gift. I couldn't wait to try it out yesterday, and the product quality is quite good."
Tian Yu secretly thought that Tang Ye had put a lot of effort into today's dinner, and he said with a smile, "Thank you for your recognition, Mr. Feng. Our company's products are not perfect in many ways, but our quality is absolutely the best among our peers."
Tang Ye smiled and signaled the waiter to serve the dishes, inviting everyone to sit down. "Let's all sit down and chat while we eat!"
After the waiter served the dishes, Tang Ye raised his glass. "Mr. Feng, President Tian, on behalf of the Yechuan County Government, I welcome you both to this appointment today. I especially hope that this meal today will be the beginning of a partnership between the two of you."
Feng Weiming stood up and raised his glass with a smile. "Thank you, County Magistrate Tang, for organizing this meeting today. Although this is my first time meeting President Tian, I feel like we are old friends. President Tian, I hope we can have more opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Tian Yu said excitedly, "Mr. Feng, I feel the same as you and hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate. I'll finish my drink first as a sign of respect."
During the meal, Feng Weiming and Tian Yu talked a lot about aeromodelling.
Seeing the two of them chatting happily, Tang Ye felt relieved.
As expected, his thorough research on Feng Weiming had successfully attracted his attention through the keyword of aeromodelling.
Tang Ye felt that if this field were explored further, it would definitely have great potential.
The next morning, Tian Yu went to Feng Weiming's company and signed a letter of intent for investment with Feng Weiming.
In the afternoon, he took a flight back to Yechuan.
The next day, early morning.
Tian Yu convened a meeting of the company's senior management.
At present, the company actually only had a dozen or so people, three of whom were partners.
Tian Yu took the letter of intent for investment out of his drawer. "Brothers, I have good news to tell everyone: I have secured an investor in Yanjing this time."
A look of surprise appeared in the eyes of the three partners.
"Old Tian, stop keeping us in suspense, tell us quickly, what is the investment amount?"
Tian Yu extended his right hand and spread his fingers.
"Five million?"
"No, it's fifty million! And this is just the first installment of the investment funds."
Everyone gasped.
"Fifty million! My god!"
"You aren't pulling our legs, are you?"
Everyone showed an expression of disbelief!
Tian Yu said seriously, "I'm not joking with you all. The first installment is indeed fifty million. However, after we receive the investment, we cannot be content with the status quo. We must upgrade our products. Next, we are going to manufacture brand-new products."
"What kind of products?"
Tian Yu said, "I want to make a flying mobile phone. Extreme Flight made the first multi-rotor in the country, but its payload is too low and its flight time is short. A New Zealand company distributes our flight controllers, and they mount 95 gimbals on multi-rotors for aerial photography. This is a bigger market. I cannot just watch a big opportunity pass by without doing anything. We don't just want to make money; we want to do big things. If we do it well, we can make big money; we don't care for small change."
The three partners looked at each other.
"Old Tian, we'll listen to you."
"That's right, in your words, we don't care for small change. Starting today, the technical department will work until they drop," said the partner in charge of the R&D department, clenching his fist.
Because Tang Ye was not in Yechuan, he did not attend the investment signing ceremony for Dayu Technology, and he arranged for Zhao Kaiyuan to represent the Government and attend the event.
After the event ended, Tian Yu dialed Tang Ye's phone number.
"County Magistrate Tang, today's ceremony went very smoothly. I am truly especially grateful to you."
"President Tian, I am very optimistic about you. I believe your company will certainly be able to achieve results in the future."
"Thank you for your encouragement; I will not let you down."
Hanging up the phone with Tang Ye, Tian Yu felt quite emotional.
His own personality was relatively introverted, and he was not good at dealing with other people.
Therefore, for him to go and run around for funds and make contact with investors was unrealistic.
However, Tang Ye had helped him secure sponsorship.
The key was that throughout the entire process, Tang Ye did not have any special requests.
The reason Tang Ye actively promoted this cooperation was mainly to set an example for the staff of the investment promotion department.
To let the outside world know about the good investment and business environment in Yechuan County after it obtained the status of a pilot county.
With this successful case, the investment promotion department would have more confidence when connecting with various enterprises.
Over the next two months, just as Tang Ye had anticipated, many capital firms and technology enterprises came seeking them out by reputation.
The economic situation in Yechuan County underwent a clear transformation!
