Chapter 1097: Chapter 957 Money Falling from the Sky
Evening.
Nine o’clock.
The banquet had ended.
Tang Kai and Wangsa each went back to their own homes.
It was still the same villa.
With his wife and daughter in Qingyan City, Tang Kai certainly wanted the family to be together, but for the Tang Family, and for a bit more security in the future, he had to personally come here; relationships couldn’t be built through business, nor could they be established with just a phone call.
It was a very draining and time-consuming task.
Looking at the moonlight outside the window.
Tang Kai took out his mobile phone and called Tang Qing, because Tang Qing had just appeared in the Penguin group chat, it seemed he hadn’t gone to bed yet.
"Second Uncle, what’s up?"
Tang Qing was watching a movie with Lin Jiaxue and the others at this time.
A war film.
Saving Private Ryan.
Couldn’t help but say.
It was quite interesting.
Beside him, Zeng Rou was still munching on popcorn, having learned that Tang Qing had a popcorn machine, she would come over daily for a bucket or two, claiming the corn here made exceptionally tasty popcorn.
Wang Yan and Wei Yiyi had left the day before yesterday to check out the concert venue in Hong Kong in advance and to rehearse as well.
"Tangtang, is it convenient for you to talk?" asked Tang Kai.
"It’s convenient, go ahead," replied Tang Qing as he went to the doorway.
"Do you know about Ling’s situation?" Tang Kai had now developed a habit of consulting Tang Qing regarding matters involving Ling, because what Tang Qing said would always be proven right in the end.
"Of course I know."
"Is there any risk?" Tang Kai hastily inquired.
Tang Qing thought for a moment, "To say there is no risk at all is impossible, but it should be small. Since Ling has been able to rise to that position, he must have the confidence to handle any crisis, otherwise he wouldn’t have made it there."
Tang Qing didn’t say everything.
Involving Ling’s position, really no one dared to be absolute, especially since the leap was too big, even if Tang Qing had absolute confidence, he couldn’t verbalize it, otherwise, Tang Kai wouldn’t believe it.
"I see..." Tang Kai nodded; of course there would be risks.
Tang Qing reassured, "Don’t worry, Second Uncle, just concentrate on your business. When the sky falls, there will be tall ones to hold it up. You care about the interests there, but doesn’t Ling care about them too? All we need to do is what we can, right?"
"That’s right, there’s not much else I can do anyway," Tang Kai nodded in agreement, then asked, "By the way, Tangtang, do you know why Kundun was arrested? The incident was so sudden, I couldn’t get any useful information here."
"I do know about that."
"For what reason?"
Tang Kai was startled; he had just asked casually, but his nephew really knew. Could it be that Tang Qing had been keeping an eye on the situation in Myanmar? That friend’s news alert must be really timely.
"You have to keep it a secret; they are blocking the news over there. It’s estimated that it’ll take a couple of days before it gets out, and they definitely won’t reveal the real reason to the public. This will only circulate among the upper class," Tang Qing instructed.
Upon hearing this.
Curiosity was piqued.
Tang Kai immediately promised, "Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone."
"Let me give you a hint, the personal doctor of Lang Cai was arrested along with Kundun," Tang Qing tipped off.
"What? Are you saying..."
As he spoke, Tang Kai hastily shut his mouth, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes. Connecting the two pieces of information, without much thought, led to a conclusion: Lang Cai’s critical illness was related to Kundun.
"Second Uncle, you guessed right, it’s enough that you know, let’s not spread it for now," Tang Qing said.
"I understand."
Tang Kai was not a blabbermouth; talking about such matters would only be trouble.
The reason for Kundun’s arrest came to mind.
Even Tang Kai felt a chill in his heart, power could make people so crazy, to do such inhumane things. Fortunately, such people had not risen to power, otherwise they would all be losing sleep.
He then spoke a few words about the Investment Company’s affairs.
Tang Qing hung up the phone.
"Tang Qing, what were you talking about? Why the secrecy, not letting us listen in?" Zeng Rou crunched on popcorn loudly.
"Business secrets."
Tang Qing smiled and sat down next to Lin Jiaxue, resting comfortably with his head on her leg and closing his eyes contentedly.
"Yeah, right..."
...
August 30th.
Ling officially met with the heads of various departments and states.
Even though they had just met two weeks before.
But now, his status had undergone a huge change. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝘤𝘰𝑚
During the meeting, Ling directly issued the goals for the next six months to all departments, more demanding than before, completely overturning the plan originally set by Lang Cai.
Since it was an improvement,
It wasn’t considered disrespectful to Lang Cai.
It was at most seen as taking a bigger step than before.
Everyone knew that Ling had taken on this role with a task at hand and would definitely try to achieve results. Considering Ling’s situation and ’awkwardness’, and the fact that Ling criticized several department heads without giving any face during the meeting,
Nobody else wanted to jump out and get scolded.
And after those few emphasized their difficulties, Ling provided solutions to all issues, word by word, leaving them speechless, and they could only sit down dejectedly in the end.
If Ling had set an impossible task,
They would have had a reason to argue.
But all the tasks Ling set were achievable.
In the end, not a single person dared to utter a word of dissent, which made Kan Qin and other deputy capitals wipe their foreheads. As expected, Ling was still Ling. When would such days ever end?
Six months?
With Ling’s methods,
What could they possibly do to drag their feet?
In the end,
Ling also announced several other major decisions, which swept away most people’s dissatisfaction.
First, starting from September 1st, Myanmar Bank will open up special loans for major projects to the Myanmar government, with a limit equivalent to one hundred billion Asia Dollars, and any government project of Myanmar can apply.
Second, starting from September 1st, each state could also receive up to fifty billion Asia Dollars in industrial and commercial support loans, with local private enterprises eligible to apply at the Myanmar Bank Capital Branch with their plans.
Third, issue one hundred trillion Myanmar Kyat in government bonds, with the Myanmar Bank Group fully subscribing, to improve the treatment of public servants and the construction of public welfare systems, as well as for office equipment purchases and other public expenses.
Fourth, cancel eight hundred trillion Myanmar Kyat of local government debts across all states, lightening their burden, but any new local debt must be strictly controlled to prevent inefficient loan project approvals.
To put it bluntly,
it was about throwing out benefits so that with their mouths full, people wouldn’t have the time to talk.
After hearing all this,
They all thought this was the direct reason why Lang Cai pushed Ling to power, making Ling bleed financially. This round of policies was like installing an engine on their running machine, but instead of burning fuel, it was burning money.
In this way,
Directly involved interests neared two hundred billion, and with the addition of bonds and the cancellation of local debts, everyone felt as if money was about to rain from the sky.
At the same time,
Ling didn’t remove himself from his position as governor of the Myanmar Economic Zone, he still retained it. Although it was somewhat strange, everyone could accept it. After all, if in the end Ling were to step down, he would need a ’staircase’ to do so.
