As they exited the airport,
they saw a huge promotional poster right outside the door.
------"Install vehicle exhaust filters to contribute to our country’s blue skies."
Tang Qing couldn’t help but laugh.
Such promotional posters
were now found all over major airports nationwide.
Now,
it had been over two months since Myanmar Environmental Technology Company and Huaxia signed their contract to jointly produce, and the collaboration was progressing rapidly; the related factories would be completed next month.
They would formally produce core components and consumable solutions.
At present,
through patent licensing,
aside from the solutions and filter meshes, all other simple mechanical devices had been outsourced to manufacturing enterprises in Huaxia, with the final assembly conducted at Myanmar Environmental Technology Company’s local subsidiary.
The inventory had already exceeded five hundred thousand.
And these already had owners.
A month ago,
Huaxia had directly mandated by administrative order a schedule for all polluted gas emitting businesses nationwide to install industrial filters by the end of next year; considering production capacities, all relevant businesses had to meet zero emissions standards.
Those who failed to comply would be shut down.
Simultaneously,
another order was issued a week ago.
Starting from October 1, all vehicles produced by Huaxia automotive companies must be fitted with filters, or their market approval would be withheld; the same applied to imported cars, which must also have filters installed, or Customs would detain them, not even allowing them to dock.
As for other vehicles currently in use by the public,
the government could only temporarily ignore them.
Because it was impossible to resolve everything at once.
Extra costs and double consumption were difficult for the average person to accept.
They could only be addressed gradually, and Tang Qing had heard that Beijing would introduce policies next month beginning with official vehicles, then state enterprises, gradually moving to vehicle registration with phased restrictions.
Vehicles produced before October 1 were not subject to these restrictions.
So a threshold would be set at vehicle registration to warn those aspiring to register their cars, with similar policies in other first-tier cities and provincial capitals to be implemented by the end of the year.
All in all,
he was set to make a fortune.
...
Nearing noon,
they finally returned to the villa.
Beijing’s vastness sometimes made it frustrating as ground transportation wasted a lot of time and taking the Metro was not an option, Tang Qing preferred smaller cities that were calm and spacious.
In the car,
Zeng Rou chatted incessantly.
She had mild symptoms of airsickness and would get sleepy as soon as the plane took off, but became lively immediately after disembarking.
"Tang Qing, when will we go to Sanya next time?"
As they talked, Zeng Rou pulled Tang Qing, who was in the passenger seat, into the conversation.
"Not sure," Tang Qing opened his eyes.
"You’re also wasting too much. If you don’t go to Sanya over the National Day, you won’t be able to during Chinese New Year. After the New Year, you’ll only have time on May Day or summer vacation. You only stay there once or twice a year, and your family doesn’t care."
Zeng Rou, as a tycoon’s daughter, found Tang Qing’s wastefulness too extravagant, this spoiled brat knew how to spend but also how to earn.
Tang Qing counter asked with a laugh, "Then what do you suggest?"
"Hehe, why not rent the villa to me during the Chinese New Year, and I’ll bring friends to have fun?" Zeng Rou showed her ’fangs’.
"Dream on," Tang Qing rolled his eyes.
"What, rent isn’t good enough?" Zeng Rou really loved that white, beautiful villa.
"No way."
"No room for negotiation?"
"None."
"Then... Can I borrow your yacht?"
"You’re dreaming."
"Can’t you let my dream come true?"
"No."
"Stingy! If my dad couldn’t afford it, why would I borrow from you?" Zeng Rou’s audacious remark left Tang Qing speechless, only able to say, "You make a compelling point."
In truth, Zeng Rou held no expectations.
Tang Qing was a person
who absolutely had a bit of a cleanliness compulsion, disliking strangers running through his well-prepared home, even if it was a place he lived once a year, and this was indeed Tang Qing’s true sentiment.
Your home.
How could you casually lend it to strangers, even if they wouldn’t cause any bumps or scratches, he was unwilling.
After a couple of exchanges,
Zeng Rou started chatting with Lin Jiaxue about her childhood. Usually, women talked about clothes and dressing up, but Zeng Rou realized after so long that Lin Jiaxue wasn’t very interested in these topics.
She didn’t use cosmetics,
and would only apply some lipstick.
Fashionable clothes were never lacking, each piece tailor-made, especially since her several servants were experts in clothing and styling, which really didn’t leave much room for Lin Jiaxue to engage in these topics.
Her clothes were custom-made by her company’s designers.
It wasn’t her place to comment on their quality, as they weren’t purchased from outside. 𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝒐𝙢
There was no choice.
Zeng Rou and Lin Jiaxue had to limit their discussions to other areas.
...
After lunch,
the two women rested at the villa.
Tang Qing drove to a construction site.
The huge site was enclosed by color steel plates, and standing outside the main gate, one could see that the buildings were already emerging from the ground; Pu Chaodong had been waiting there for a while.
"Director," Pu Chaodong approached with a group of people.
Tang Qing smiled and said, "Director Pu, these two months have been hard on you."
"Not at all, this is my job, this is the general manager of the construction unit, Bai Tong, and this is Director Tang from our group," Pu Chaodong introduced Tang Qing to a lean middle-aged man next to him.
"Hello," Tang Qing extended his hand.
