That very evening.
In the morning in Huaxia.
Tang Qing suddenly received a call from Ge Feng.
"Tang Qing, are you interested in making some quick money?" Ge Feng asked directly.
"Quick money?"
Tang Qing questioned.
"Yes, it can be considered an investment and can yield high returns in a short term. And it’s not a small venture," Ge Feng assured.
"What business?" Tang Qing asked.
"Buying stocks, ERV, you know about this company, right? It’s currently the internet company with the most potential. I seem to recall you and Chai Ren often play games from its subsidiaries. It’s about to go public..."
Ge Feng highly recommended it.
"..."
Tang Qing immediately realized that Ge Feng was also preparing to invest in ERV and couldn’t help but let out a wry smile. This wasn’t the first call he had received marketing ERV; Chai Ren had tried to pull him in a week ago.
Apart from Chai Ren.
Uncle Tang Kai had asked about investing in it, having heard about it from somewhere.
He had given a positive response at that time.
It was a feasible investment.
And so.
Tang Kai’s investment company was also preparing to get involved.
This showed just how popular ERV was at the moment.
What’s the most important thing in the capital market?
Confidence.
Once ERV had captivated the confidence of the capital, it possessed an insane attractiveness. However, Tang Qing really wasn’t interested in getting involved in this matter. "Forget it, I’d rather earn money honestly."
Ge Feng was stunned.
"You’re not going to pick up easy money?"
"You guys pick it up. I’m not familiar with stocks," Tang Qing lied.
Hearing this, Ge Feng chuckled, which was understandable. On the other end of the phone was a billionaire, "Alright, you’re the big boss who disdains such small change. By the way, I’m getting married next month. Do you have time to attend?"
A marriage alliance.
There was no such thing as a marathon of love. If it felt right, they just went for it.
"Japan?" Tang Qing asked.
"It’s mainly here in the United States. The wedding will only take place once. But in Japan, we’ll also have a meal with the bride’s relatives and friends. It’s not as grand as here," Ge Feng explained.
"What date?" Tang Qing asked.
"Next month, the twenty-sixth," Ge Feng said.
"Let me check, hmm, okay, I’ll make sure to come," Tang Qing looked at his schedule which was relatively free, and he wanted to get more acquainted with the Ge Family.
Receiving a positive response.
Ge Feng happily said, "Haha, good, I’ll be waiting. My father and the others also want to see you."
"I intend to do so."
After ending the call.
Tang Qing and Lin Jiaxue went off to school.
On the other side.
Ge Feng reported to his father, Ge Tian, who was sipping tea beside him.
"Not picking it up? He really is an interesting young man," Ge Tian chuckled.
In his understanding.
Tang Qing liked to make money through solid efforts, disliking such ethereal ventures. This ’high integrity’ and disinterest in greed made him look with admiration upon Tang Qing, and thus, Tang Qing unwittingly acquired a new label.
"Father, why are you so anxious to meet Tang Qing?" Ge Feng suddenly asked.
"Anxious?"
"My wedding was moved up, and you emphasized inviting Tang Qing. If I can’t see there’s a problem, then I’m a fool," Ge Feng had previously thought it was a normal rescheduling, but being born into such a family.
It was hard to be naïve.
Ge Tian was pleased with his son’s insight, saying, "You’re right. This rescheduling is indeed related to Tang Qing because what he’s doing now is a bit dangerous."
Ge Feng was alarmed, "What danger is Tang Qing in?"
At this point.
Ge Tian’s expression grew somber.
"The steel factory he’s managing in Africa as well as the power grid company he’s co-investing in with some forces in Congo Gold are suspected by the United States to be Huaxia’s pawns; they believe the actual controller behind the steel factory is from Huaxia."
Tang Qing had created such a stir in Africa.
How could those with intent be deceived?
The steel factory was one thing.
But then you also helped them generate electricity, paying out of your own pocket, and both factories weren’t making money in the short term. Such a business would only appeal to a nation, but given Tang Qing’s age, how could he possibly lay such a plan?
It was too much of a leap.
Africa.
It wasn’t considered a strategic location by the United States, because there was really nothing enticing about it, unlike Huaxia. The United States’ infrastructure had almost stagnated for decades, with very little demand, and the nation itself was rich in mineral deposits.
The United States had little interest in Africa’s resources.
Huaxia was different.
With a large population and vast lands, Huaxia’s per capita resources were quite pitiful indeed, necessitating large-scale imports, and Huaxia’s massive low-end manufacturing industry needed Africa’s consumption.
The United States did not have this concern.
Even so,
The United States didn’t want Huaxia to stretch its hands too far.
After all,
Africa was not far from the United States, only the Atlantic Ocean away. Tang Qing, time and again, had been laying out plans in Africa, and it was beginning to feel like a hand angling into one’s bowl, which naturally drew attention.
After listening to his father’s explanation,
Ge Feng was silent.
It seemed
the family was in a rush to invite Tang Qing over
to see how to solve this problem; those watched by the US government often didn’t have good outcomes, as this involved the great powers’ gambits, something no businessman could withstand.
"What does the family plan to do?" Ge Feng hurriedly asked.
"The family hasn’t come up with a specific plan yet," Ge Tian shook his head.
"Tang Qing won’t be in trouble, will he?"
"He won’t, in the short term, but if he rattles some people’s nerves, anything could happen. However, I always get the feeling he seems unafraid of anything," Ge Tian gently shook his head.
"Do you think so? I haven’t noticed that," said Ge Feng, puzzled.
"..."
Ge Tian thought to himself,
If you knew the current scale of Zhongyu Special Guard, you wouldn’t think like that. I ask you, within Huaxia, how many dare to brazenly build a security company to this extent?
Those who dare to do so are either
fearless to a fault
or downright mad.
Clearly,
Tang Qing was not mad.
So, he must be of the fearless sort, unafraid of capsizing someday. It was hard to know just how big the ship he stood on was. But this Tang Qing, though worrying, also made him look with admiration.
...
The next day.
New York.
Manhattan.
Nasdaq.
Today’s Nasdaq was particularly bustling.
After the fighter rang the opening bell, ERV fully stepped onto the world stage. ERV’s stock was priced at fifty-three US dollars per share, unlike Huaxia, where the minimum purchase is by the lot.
Which means one hundred shares are the minimum sale.
In the United States, it’s possible to trade one share at a time.
Otherwise, a single lot costing several thousand US dollars would be out of reach for the average stock investor. After the bell rang, the fighter didn’t leave; while waiting for the stock price to rise, he also took the time to answer questions from journalists.
"How much do you expect ERV’s closing price to be today?"
"Over one hundred US dollars."
"With the financing now complete, has it exceeded your expectations?"
"No, ERV is worth it."
"..."
Facing the journalists’ questions, the fighter answered steadily and unhurriedly,
without any of the excitement typically shown by other bell-ringers.
And the market did not disappoint.
In mere ten minutes,
The stock price rose from fifty-three US dollars to sixty-two dollars and continued to climb, with massive buy orders appearing one after another, only to be superseded by even larger ones.
Madness.
Had just begun.
