"I can see that although Mr. Ye is young, he must be doing big things. Our couple's wish is also to serve the motherland and break the monopoly of foreigners in the field of anti-corrosion materials, so we, the couple, are willing to follow you. We agree to Patent shares in the new company. We also want to ask Mr. Ye to take shares in the current company and invest a sum of money to expand production. In the future, the current company can be built into the production base of the new company. What do you think of this plan?"

Ye Fang thought about it seriously and felt that this plan was feasible. The specific details of the plan would be left to Wang Jun and them after returning to the capital. He nodded and agreed, "It shouldn't be a big problem. You go back as soon as possible to prepare relevant company information, and then come to Beijing." , I will ask the group’s lawyers and financial department to contact you and sign an agreement as soon as possible.”

"Thank you, Mr. Ye." Xiong Jingyi didn't expect that things would go so smoothly on the first day.

"It's me who should thank you." Ye Fang said sincerely.

"I dare to ask Mr. Ye, anti-corrosion materials require a lot of capital investment before they are successfully developed. I wonder if our company..."

Li Wendong's implication is that he doesn't know how strong the endurance of Ye Fang's company's continuous investment is. Once this kind of R&D investment is started, it must be continuous. Restarting after a break is equivalent to starting over, and the time cost is too high.

Ye Fang smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about funds. It's not your worry. What you should worry about is whether the progress of the research and development results can be worthy of my capital investment. As long as your research and development is successful, you will be the biggest contributor to the new company. He is also a hero of the country.”

"Once this new type of anti-corrosion coating is successfully developed, it will be supplied to specific targets, such as civil aviation aircraft, shipping freighters and even the national military industry. Customer development in this area does not matter in Beijing, even if the research is successful, it will not be sold."

"I said you only need to be responsible for research and development, and you don't need to worry about product sales. Paints are also divided into several product series: high, middle and low. I will handle the sales channels for the high-end product series, and Sister Xiong will be responsible for the middle and low-end. I The worry is that there will be orders in the future but no production capacity, so in the future we will build production bases in suitable places across the country. However, all this construction planning has prerequisites, do you know what the prerequisites are?" Ye Fang looked at Li Wendong and asked.

"I know, it's the result of my research and development." Li Wendong said while pushing up his glasses frame.

"Yes! Your research and development is the premise, otherwise everything is empty talk." Ye Fang glanced at Li Wendong and said, "I don't know if there are talents or companies like you in China. If there are, I will buy them back. Companies want profits. Usually I won't put eggs in one basket. I can give you R&D time and R&D funds, but it won't be too long. It's not that my capital investment can't keep up, but that national construction will not wait. You. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Ye. As long as there are continuous R&D funds, I guarantee that there will be breakthroughs in new anti-corrosion materials in the next two years." After hearing Ye Fang's words, Li Wendong assured.

"Okay, I hope our cooperation can be successful." Ye Fang shook hands with Xiong Jingyi and his wife respectively, and then said, "I hope we can meet as soon as possible in Beijing."

"Definitely!" Xiong Jingyi replied firmly.

Just when the three of them were about to say goodbye, Lang Wenyao came over with several staff members. After seeing Ye Fang, he shouted, "Mr. Ye, why are you here?"

"Why, I just want to take a look." Ye Fang said with a smile when he saw Lang Wenyao.

Lang Wenyao wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued, "Brothers Lin from Brother Manufacturing Factory said you invested [-] million in them. Is this true?"

"Two hundred million?!" Xiong Jingyi and Li Wendong looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Ye Fang asked in surprise.

"Their factory has now withdrawn from the exhibition area. It is really unruly not to report the investment intention to the organizer. Although it is not Binhai's local investment promotion, it can be regarded as the achievement of this meeting. If I knew that you have investment in Binhai If you have investment intention, I will take you directly to the Binhai local exhibition area. The companies you are visiting are not Binhai local companies, and they are all traditional companies with little development. Let’s go! I will be your guide and introduce you. Our Binhai enterprise." Lang Wenyao said.

Xiong Jingyi knew that Lang Wenyao was the leader of Binhai City Government. Just as she was about to step forward to say a few words, Li Wendong stopped her and told her not to cause trouble at this time.

"Okay, I'll go take a look with you, let's go." After taking two steps, Ye Fang turned back to Xiong Jingyi and his wife and said with a smile, "See you in Beijing!"

"See you in Beijing!" Xiong Jingyi smiled at Ye Fang and nodded.

Looking at Lang Wenyao's somewhat flattering attitude, Xiong Jingyi and his wife became even more curious about Ye Fang's identity. They did not expect that such a young man would allow a leader of the Binhai City Government to assume such a low profile.

"Jingyi, who is this young man?" Li Wendong asked curiously.

"Although he is young, he is definitely not a simple person." Xiong Jingyi concluded.

"What should we do next? Should we stay here until the end of the exhibition, or should we go back and prepare materials now?" Li Wendong asked.

"You stay here first, I will go back to the company immediately to prepare materials, and then we will go to the capital together." Xiong Jingyi said.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Li Wendong said.

At this time, Lang Wenyao guided Ye Fang to the Binhai local enterprise exhibition area. Looking at the past, Ye Fang was indeed much taller than other exhibition areas, but there were still relatively few real high-tech companies. This was also determined by the current national conditions of the country. There are already sprouts of high-tech companies, but many companies are deterred by the continued investment in R&D. The traditional manufacturing industry is seeking to transform from low-end manufacturing to high-end manufacturing, but due to insufficient talent reserves and company management The limitations of top-level management make it difficult to move forward. We are now in a critical period of national industrial upgrading, with many traps and many opportunities.

China's venture capital industry is still in its infancy and is mainly concentrated in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, with the majority of companies in Beijing. However, faced with thousands of projects, venture capital institutions with hidden risks are hesitant to stop.

The country is at a turning point. Many investment consulting institutions are trying to gauge the country's development, and relevant corporate consulting reports are emerging one after another. After all, there are only a few people like Ye Fang who can get the list of enterprises in the national key development industries and future development directions. Perhaps the country wants to promote it step by step and open up an economic development path with Chinese characteristics by leveraging the sensitive olfactory nerves of private enterprises.

Ye Fang suddenly felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was heavier.
