Che Zhihui and Chen Chusheng quickly sat up straight, their ears perked up.
Xu Zhengyang said:
"Contact all the government departments in Santai City—public security, fire department, law enforcement, education, environment... and include the public departments of the surrounding counties as well.
Tianyu Motors will provide them with a batch of new cars for free!
Moreover, in the future, whenever they need to replace or add vehicles, they can enjoy a 40% discount on purchases from Tianyu."
Che Zhihui nearly jumped out of his seat in excitement.
Free?
Doesn't that mean giving them away? Providing them as gifts?
With so many departments, including the county, how many cars are we talking about? At least a thousand or two!
Giving away so many cars, this is...
But he quickly seemed to grasp the core of Xu Zhengyang's words.
"With this, we'll ask for a condition from above!"
Xu Zhengyang held up a finger and said:
"Above must support us so that when taxis are updated, they can only order Tianyu vehicles, and we will offer a 10% discount.
We want to completely overhaul the cars in Santai City!"
Xu Zhengyang gestured grandly.
Che Zhihui couldn't help but admire Xu Zhengyang.
Compared to organizing contests or hiring influencers, Xu Zhengyang's method was more aggressive.
By skipping all meaningless publicity and advertising costs, Tianyu would directly replace the official cars in Santai City.
It's easy to imagine how much money the officials would save with such a deal—they would definitely replace as many cars as possible!
But Xu Zhengyang clearly didn't care about this expense!
He didn't even mind if someone used their power for personal gain to get a car for themselves.
What mattered was whether these cars would be marked with the official logo!
Moreover, as long as good relations are established with the traffic management department, future taxi updates will also be Tianyu cars.
This is the best kind of advertisement.
You in South China are criticizing me, and the public doesn't understand what's going on.
Even the government departments are replacing their cars with Tianyu vehicles.
Official certification!
If there were any issues with the car's quality, would the officials use it to advertise inferior products?
And if taxis are also updated to Tianyu, with Tianyu cars all over the streets, the reality speaks louder than words—who could say the quality is poor?
This is the effect Xu Zhengyang wanted.
Che Zhihui and the others might have thought of this, but they didn't have Xu Zhengyang's audacity, so they never considered this approach.
"I understand! I'll contact them right away; I know these people!"
Chen Chusheng slammed his thigh and said excitedly.
There's no need for Xu Zhengyang to handle the details; Chen Chusheng was familiar with these officials and could handle it smoothly.
Xu Zhengyang only learned later that Che Zhihui had transferred the controlling shares of Tianyu Motors to him.
Che Zhihui had become an employee under Xu Zhengyang.
Xu Zhengyang didn't care much about this, but Che Zhihui was undoubtedly very wise.
Because, regardless of future development, considering the engine production alone, although Che Zhihui's shares were reduced, as long as he stayed close to Xu Zhengyang, the value of his remaining shares would increase.
Moreover, the most important thing was that Che Zhihui no longer had time to be the president; he had to focus on being a technician!
He believed that with enough time and resources, he could develop even better and more comprehensive engines, ensuring Tianyu Motors would lead in future car competition at the same price point.
This was his passion, his original intention for making cars!
Thinking about it, the Tianyu car is several notches above the South China car, even though both are priced similarly.
What can South China use to compete?
After temporarily setting aside the car matters, it was almost mealtime. Xu Zhengyang invited Lin Yourong, and they left Tianyu Motors.
"What do you want to eat?"
Xu Zhengyang asked casually as he got into the passenger seat.
Lin Yourong fastened her seatbelt, which snugly traced her curves, making her smile secretly. She shook her head and said she didn't know.
Xu Zhengyang always asked her what she wanted to eat whenever they were together, showing respect even in these small matters, which made Lin Yourong very satisfied and smile happily every time.
"Then let's go to 'Shi Yi Shou,' and eat whatever's available."
Xu Zhengyang used to be indecisive about what to eat, but after opening his own restaurant, he was more interested in seeing what his restaurant had left.
Even picky eating was cured...
At this moment, the entrance of 'Shi Yi Shou' restaurant was crowded with people, some waiting in line outside, and others chatting on nearby benches.
After all, it's a park; if you have to wait for a table, where better than sitting in the park?
Xu Zhengyang saw there was no parking available and decided not to make special arrangements but to park a bit further away.
There was a cinema near the park, so Xu Zhengyang parked in the cinema's parking lot.
Since Lin Yourong had backed in and the exit was very close, it was hard to tell if the car had just been parked or was about to leave.
But just as they were about to get out of the car, a girl furiously yanked open Xu Zhengyang's car door.
Seeing Xu Zhengyang sitting in the passenger seat, she angrily slammed the door shut, stepped back, opened the rear door, and sat down without saying a word.
"Drive! Go!!"
She seemed to have tears in her eyes, her face full of anger as she shouted at Xu Zhengyang and Lin Yourong.
Xu Zhengyang and Lin Yourong frowned, looking at her.
At this moment, three people came running from outside—a couple and another man in designer casual wear, who approached with a look of helplessness and knocked impatiently on the rear window.
"Hey, are you done making a scene?"
"Get out! I don't want to see you!"
The girl shouted through the glass at the boy outside, tears streaming down her face. Then she turned to Xu Zhengyang and yelled:
"Can't you hear? Drive! Get out of here!"
After finishing, she covered her face with her hands and began to sob.
Xu Zhengyang gave Lin Yourong a look, who then turned off the engine. Xu Zhengyang got out of the passenger seat.
The man gave Xu Zhengyang a knowing look, and with a smug expression, said to the girl:
"See? They're getting out! Are you still going to make a scene? Hurry up and get out!"
Unexpectedly, Xu Zhengyang opened the rear door and said to the crying girl:
"Get out."
The girl looked at Xu Zhengyang with disdain, thinking he was afraid of the boy's revenge, and told him with a scowl and tear-streaked face:
"I'll say it one last time! Get in the car! Drive!!!"
Before she could finish, Xu Zhengyang grabbed her by the hair and roughly pulled her out of the car!
