Chapter 448: Only Choose Qinge for Underwear!
The Industrial Park currently has several phases of projects, and landscaping is a very inconspicuous part of the construction process.
Tang Ye readily replied, "Anything Brother Gao requests is absolutely no problem. I will notify the Industrial Park later."
The main reason Tang Ye agreed so readily was that he trusted Gao Ping.
Tang Ye was never a person who refused to listen to reason.
He possessed both a side that was upright and incorruptible, and the worldly wisdom to be tactful and flexible.
Gao Ping was a person with a great sense of propriety and would never put him in a difficult position, let alone when a small project would not affect the overall situation.
Gao Ping had helped him many times before, so this could also be considered an opportunity to repay a favor.
Tang Ye's attitude was already within Gao Ping's expectations; he did not dwell on it too much, and the topic was brushed over lightly before being dropped.
The two did not drink a drop of alcohol and chatted about the current official situation in Hanzhou; since they both had to work in the afternoon, they said their goodbyes with a tacit understanding.
After getting his car, Tang Ye called Cao Lei and gave him the contact information for Gao Ping's niece.
"Old Cao, contact this company and carefully audit their qualifications. If there are no issues, you can let them do two or three small projects. Don't lose your principles just because I introduced them."
Cao Lei understood perfectly: "Don't worry, County Magistrate Tang, I will supervise it well."
Tang Ye could help people make connections, but he had to stick to his principles.
He had already handed the stepping stone to Gao Ping's niece; if the other party were to be perfunctory, he would not turn a blind eye, even with Gao Ping's favor involved.
Of course, he understood Gao Ping's character.
If Gao Ping did not have confidence in his niece's company, he would never have lowered himself to ask for help.
Tang Ye remembered Sun Hai mentioning yesterday that he wanted to participate in municipal engineering, which indeed contained quite a few tricks.
Looking at the speed of making money, real estate or large-scale infrastructure might seem lucrative, but in reality, municipal engineering materials are the hidden code to getting rich.
They require little technology or capital, have no hidden safety hazards, are not competitive hotspots, and are not easily targeted.
Landscaping, in particular, is a sustainable industry; not only can it be profitable in the early stages of a project, but there are also fixed maintenance fees every year thereafter.
However, Tang Ye had little interest in these industries, so when Sun Hai expressed his thoughts, he suggested he participate in other projects.
In his view, while making money is important, the industry one engages in must have vitality and be able to create long-term value; only then is it more meaningful.
……
Gao Ping had just returned to his office when his phone rang.
Gu Jing's voice came through: "Uncle, how did the talk go?"
"There's no need to talk about such things; as long as I speak up, Tang Ye will definitely agree. You go to the Suiyuan Industrial Park in the next few days and take the company's materials to Cao Lei, the deputy director of the Management Committee. He is responsible for auditing your documents. If the qualifications are fine, he will report them to Tang Ye, who has the final decision-making power."
Gu Jing breathed a sigh of relief and laughed: "Suiyuan County is about to see major development, especially the Industrial Park project; I heard they are investing tens of billions. Since you have such a good relationship with County Magistrate Tang, why don't you help me secure a few big projects?"
Gao Ping warned sternly: "You have to eat one bite at a time; do things thoroughly and solidly first. The landscaping project looks like a small one, but the later maintenance is also a source of steady, continuous income. You must hurry to build the landscaping base and lock in some large trees transplanted from the mountains; there is a lot of profit margin in this."
Gu Jing had worked in the Garden Bureau for many years and knew the tricks of the trade well: "Many companies are also eyeing Suiyuan."
"That is why I have always emphasized that in doing municipal projects, besides using connections, you must put quality and qualifications first. I know your company's strength; if you weren't competitive, I would never have recommended you to Tang Ye. You lack the qualifications in other fields, and if I were to force a connection for you, it would be irresponsible to you. Don't bite off more than you can chew; focus on doing what you are good at first!"
Gu Jing laughed awkwardly: "I'm curious what kind of person could make someone as picky as you admire them from the bottom of your heart."
Gao Ping teased: "If you were three or five years younger, I would definitely introduce you to him, so you wouldn't have to be nagged by your mother about marriage every day."
"Forget it, marriage only lowers one's standard of living; I'm not willing!" Gu Jing pouted and hung up the phone.
She calculated in her heart: Her uncle has already built the bridge; with this connection, she must find a way to win a second deal.
Suiyuan's future development potential is huge, and the company must shift its focus here.
Back in his office, Tang Ye's phone vibrated.
The name Lin Ziyang popped up on the screen.
"County Magistrate Tang, let me tell you about Hu Yang's interview. Although he lacks work experience, he is proficient in both English and Korean. Qinge is preparing to enter the Korean market, and the team happens to need talent with such minor languages like him," Lin Ziyang reported.
Tang Ye nodded: "You arranged it very well."
"Speaking of the Korean market," Lin Ziyang said with excitement, "the new underwear designs Qinge launched for Korean consumers have had an excellent response. This is mainly due to Ms. Qi Meiyu's ability to develop overseas markets. I have to say, your vision in insisting she join the team was unique."
Tang Ye detected the complex emotions in his words—Lin Ziyang and Qi Meiyu had previously had disagreements over business philosophy.
The former felt they should lock their focus on E-commerce.
The latter felt they should expand channels.
"Ziyang, your contribution to building E-commerce channels for Qinge is also irreplaceable. Qinge started from E-commerce, and as the capital chain improves, it is transitioning from a cost-effective route to mid-to-high-end. The core customer base is locked on young women aged 18 to 30, especially female college students. They have a high acceptance of new things; if we strengthen the brand's international label, we can further enhance their sense of identification."
Lin Ziyang's voice became light: "I had people conduct research on various university forums, and now a consumer trend of 'only choosing Qinge for underwear' has appeared in many university towns."
"The future market ultimately belongs to the young," Tang Ye laughed. "In addition, you can look into the beauty industry. South Korea and Japan are relatively developed in this field."
"The beauty industry is indeed still a blank slate domestically," Lin Ziyang said thoughtfully.
"The female economy is in an upward phase, and the beauty industry will also usher in a boom. The threshold for this industry is not as high as you might think," Tang Ye analyzed. "Let Hu Yang adapt for a period of time, and you can let him try to get involved. He studied in Korea for many years and was influenced by foreign culture; don't look at how decadent he is now, he used to dress very fashionably and liked dyeing his hair and wearing makeup."
To put it bluntly, Hu Yang used to be a "spirit guy."
In 2007, this type of group was still a niche in the country.
Lin Ziyang suddenly realized that Tang Ye letting Hu Yang join Qinge was not just to support an idle person.
It was to take precautions and start playing a big game of chess!
Hanging up the phone, Tang Ye stroked his chin and pondered; Qinge Underwear was becoming the intimate choice for countless young girls.
The satisfaction and pride of the creator welled up from the bottom of his heart.
His gaze fell on the cover of a provincial magazine—the cover person was Gu Wenqin.
She had changed her hairstyle, no longer keeping long hair, but changing to short hair; her features were still delicate and pretty, but her temperament had gained a touch of maturity and steadiness.
Things have changed and people are no longer the same.
Today's Gu Wenqin has become a famous female entrepreneur in Hanzhou……
