Tokyo.
The morning sun was on the rise.
Inside the hotel’s Presidential Suite.
Tang Qing, draped in a bathrobe, stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows, gazing at the distant cityscape, feeling only one thing: crowded. An endless urban sprawl, not many high rises, the tallest building being a TV tower.
In the distance.
Thanks to the decent air quality, Mt. Fuji was faintly visible.
Looking at this city.
Tang Qing’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Here.
One day.
Would welcome a new order.
The executors of the ’Japan’s Emerging Consortium Plan’ were methodically casting a vast net, waiting for the day to emerge and become an undeniable presence in this land.
...
After breakfast.
They took a flight back to Nagoya.
As soon as they got off the plane.
They saw the clear skies.
"Nice weather," Ge Feng exclaimed.
"Perfect for fishing."
Tang Qing nodded.
"Brother, can’t you change it up? I remember you used to like painting, and you had such a great talent for music, but then you developed a liking for fishing! And with a bare hook, no less," Qin Shiqi immediately jumped in with a complaint.
Back then.
Painting.
Music.
Wood carving.
Tang Qing could be considered a master in all.
Now... still seemingly a master, it was rare to see Tang Qing immerse himself in these hobbies; one could interpret it as ’reaching the pinnacle,’ but as for bare hook fishing, this hobby, she really couldn’t comprehend.
"The process is more important than the result," Tang Qing said with a smile.
Ge Feng chuckled on the side, "That’s profound."
"What I heard is: You’re silly!"
"Really?"
"Take off the ’Really’."
"Heh heh, oh, you’ve got cars?" Walking to the roadside, Ge Feng saw a row of six Mercedes-Benzes and was taken aback; just in Tokyo, it was six Mercedes-Benzes that had taken them to the airport.
Now.
Here were six of the same models again.
"Hmm, it’s always good to be prepared. Security has specific people to arrange it," Tang Qing explained. This model of bulletproof Mercedes-Benz was parked in at least fifty units at the ’Security Main Storage’ in Myanmar.
Security Main Storage.
Aside from the large military equipment storage,
it was a secret warehouse specifically responsible for dispensing security equipment to warriors around the world, located in the mountainous area of the Myanmar Economic Zone, not far from the Gold Smelting Factory. Inside, it housed almost all of the mainstream bulletproof-modified car models in the world.
Just the inventory of cars.
Surpassed two thousand.
Valued at over ten billion RMB.
Always ready for any potential task, supplying those military trucks and Hummers for Zhongyu Special Guard; these, like the Gold Smelting Factory, had turned the entire mountainous area into a military zone.
Today.
The Underground River Gold Mine still tirelessly collected gold for him.
About two and a half tons daily.
Adding in Algeria and over a dozen newly discovered gold mines, nearly four tons of gold were accrued daily. Looking at the warehouse full of glistening gold, surpassing five thousand tons of gold reserves.
Tang Qing no longer felt anything.
Most of these gold reserves.
Would still be kept hidden, but to further increase external confidence in the Asia Dollar, in October, after the stock market opened, Myanmar Bank would announce part of its gold reserves.
Not much.
Just two thousand tons.
This amount.
Would already place it as the fifth largest gold reserve-holding country in the world.
Behind the United States, Germany, Italy, France, and just a bit higher than Huaxia, if truth be told, this ranking didn’t have any fundamental significance, as gold was no longer the universal currency for international transactions.
If I really run out of money, I could still use it to settle my accounts.
But.
It’s meant for bolstering market confidence.
That’s enough.
Of course.
This reserve isn’t the gold holdings of a nation but merely the Central Bank’s reserves; gold held by individuals, institutions, and in other forms like minerals do not fall within this statistic.
So.
A two-thousand-ton gold reserve may seem higher than that of Huaxia’s Central Bank, but if we’re talking about a nation’s total gold holdings, Myanmar’s nationwide reserves plus Tang Qing’s gold actually don’t quite measure up to Huaxia’s.
...
Hearing this,
Ge Feng nodded.
Tang Qing’s display of wealth once again surpassed his imagination; having double the number of bodyguards and even cars. When he, a scion of a major family, went out, he only brought two bodyguards with him.
He just couldn’t compete!
If he dared to put on such a show,
His grandfather would definitely knock on his head with a smoking pipe until it rang out. The Ge family didn’t shun luxury—their many private jets weren’t just for show—but they couldn’t tolerate wastefulness. Tang Qing’s behavior was definitely bordering on extravagance.
Everyone got into their vehicles,
Heading for Maruyama Takeshi’s resort hotel.
Inside the car,
Tang Qing rolled down the window.
He enjoyed the warm breeze,
Feeling extremely comfortable.
However, the only annoyance was Japan’s traffic, stop-and-go, crawling along. They hadn’t traveled far when suddenly the convoy ahead came to a halt; Tang Qing received the message that a multi-car accident had occurred up ahead.
The entire lane was blocked.
Being stuck in traffic was tedious.
If
There were also the persistent buzz of a fly, it would be even more maddening, because just then, a voice reached his ear, "Miss, hello, my name is Shimogawa Nori, pleased to meet you."
Tang Qing turned his head to the left,
And saw a young man hitting on his wife. His confidence stemmed from the green Lamborghini he sat in; it must have been expensive, but in Tang Qing’s eyes, something costing a few million RMB was honestly cheap.
Moreover,
Lin Jiaxue had no idea what he was saying and looked quite confused. She didn’t know this person; why was he talking to her? So, she turned to Tang Qing and innocently blurted out, "Tangtang, is he lost?"
Tang Qing couldn’t help but laugh.
His wife was truly adorable.
"Probably is, I’ll handle it."
After that,
He said to Shimogawa Nori, "Neither my wife nor I have any interest in knowing you."
"Your wife?" Shimogawa Nori glanced at Tang Qing and then at Lin Jiaxue. Such a young girl was already married? Impossible, he couldn’t believe it, surely it was just an excuse to get rid of him.
"No way, you guys look more like siblings," Shimogawa Nori speculated.
"You really have some imagination."
Saying so,
Tang Qing rolled up the window.
He didn’t want to waste his breath.
Come on.
Did he really have to prove his wife was his wife?
What a joke.
Seeing this, Shimogawa Nori frowned slightly, a bit dissatisfied at being ignored. Still, seeing Tang Qing’s convoy of Mercedes-Benzes, he could tell he wasn’t dealing with an ordinary person, and couldn’t bring himself to lose face by trying to hit on her again.
Soon,
The convoy was on the move again.
With a press of the accelerator,
"Rumble~~~"
Shimogawa Nori’s Lamborghini shot out, probably in a rush for something. Truthfully, seeing such a car in Japan was quite a novelty for Tang Qing. As for the luxury car market, it was very small in Japan.
There wasn’t much of a one-upping culture.
They preferred to drive domestic cars, which were fuel-efficient and affordable. In his more than two weeks there, traveling through most parts of Japan, this was the first foreign-brand sports car he’d encountered.
Here,
People liked to modify cars.
And buying ready-made sports cars wasn’t really popular.
