The next day.
Morning.
Nagoya Chubu International Airport.
Ge Feng and his wife, as well as Maruyama Takeshi and his daughter, saw off Tang Qing’s family. After more than half a month of interaction, the relationships among them had become much closer, and the happiest among them was Maruyama Takeshi.
Ge Feng and Tang Qing were "old acquaintances."
But Maruyama Takeshi could only say he knew him.
Now,
they had reached the point where they could drop by each other’s houses. Although they hadn’t established any business cooperation, there were still real benefits to be gained. For instance, Tang Kai had increased his investment in the purchase share for the fruit wine by five times.
Although that wasn’t much,
He could also buy through other channels.
Money was not an issue.
But this was a form of recognition.
"Little Feng, cherish this friend," Maruyama Takeshi turned to Ge Feng and said.
Although Ge Feng did not understand why Maruyama Takeshi had such a good attitude towards Tang Qing, completely acting like a sycophant, he still nodded, "I will, this is actually what our family wants as well."
"Hmm."
...
On the airplane.
Qin Shiqi was being coaxed by her aunt to read.
At this moment,
Qin Shiqi did not have any resistance to this. The trip had been enjoyable, and having had a good time, she naturally needed to keep her promise to study hard. What was coming up was the defining year of her "destiny."
The National College Entrance Examination.
For her now,
the significance of the National College Entrance Examination was just to enhance her abilities and broaden her horizons. Earning money? How lacking in ambition that would be. Her cousin and his family were all super wealthy, and she had also witnessed many grand events along with them.
When it came to money,
she didn’t feel much excitement anymore.
Since in terms of wealth,
she could never compare to Tang Qing in this lifetime, she might as well strive for academic achievements and pursuits. Relatively speaking, studying hard was much easier than trying to earn billions of dollars.
Her capabilities were limited.
It was better to choose the simpler task.
...
Afternoon.
The plane arrived in Sanya.
The group came to Tang Qing’s Seaview Villa; this was the first visit for Tang’s parents. Previously, his uncle and Qin Shiqi had visited, and initially, Tang Qing had offered to exchange his parents’ villa in Qingyan City for another one.
But Mother Tang disagreed.
She said it was too much trouble to clean a bigger place.
They were also not used to having servants around, feeling that their current life was quite good and they should not become extravagant and forget their origins, etc. In the end, after such ideological education by his mother, Tang Qing had to give up the idea.
In the evening,
While Tang Qing was "basking in the sunset" on the rooftop,
A phone call came through.
"This is Boss Tang?"
"Who is this?"
"Hello, I am the secretary of the Sanya Municipal Government. Having heard of your return, Mayor Zhong would like to invite you for a casual meal. I was wondering if you would be available tomorrow." The way this was put together made the person on the other end a bit embarrassed.
But considering Tang Qing’s status,
he did not dare to use a commanding tone.
Hearing this,
Tang Qing knew someone had leaked the news of his return. As to who, it didn’t matter anymore; this was never a secret, as many airport staff were aware of it.
After some thought,
He decided to meet.
"How could I let Mayor Zhong go to such expense? In that case, Mayor Zhong, if you have time at noon tomorrow, you are welcome to visit my place. I think you should know where I live," Tang Qing said.
Attend a banquet?
Forget it.
If it were a banquet, they would surely invite a bunch of people to accompany him, and dealing with so many people was not fun. If he were the one to invite, then they couldn’t possibly bring a crowd here for a free meal.
This difference
was something Tang Qing cared about a great deal.
The person across paused for a moment, clearly seeking instructions from their leader, then they agreed.
"Do you know them?" Tang Kai asked from the side.
Tang Qing shook his head.
"I don’t."
"Looks like they’re here to pull you in for investment," Tang Kai said with a laugh. For those seeking Tang Qing, other than this purpose, there was a very small probability it was for anything else. He had settled in Qingyan City, and the city previously did hope he would invest more.
But then Tang Kai invested in a large number of projects.
Far exceeding their expectations, so it had been a long time since they had sought Tang Kai for project collaborations. Even for the various sponsorships for regular activities, they would not ask Tang Kai for money anymore.
Face.
It was mutual.
Tang Kai was not a soft touch.
The Tang Family.
Was not somewhere they could just come begging for alms; as for going to Tang Qing’s company to beg, not many dared to knock on that door. Otherwise, Dou Jiao alone would be able to find someone in minutes to come and talk sense.
"Maybe," Tang Qing replied.
Once he finished speaking,
some information appeared in front of Tang Qing’s eyes.
Know the enemy and know yourself,
and you will always be victorious.
Very quickly,
Tang Qing learned of some matters. It turned out that the person had recently taken office and urgently needed to show some achievements. Therefore, they set their sights on him, the wealthiest Chinese person, to see if they could pull in some projects.
This point,
Tang Qing could understand.
If given the choice, who would want to beg?
This place was different from the inland provinces; this was an island, and the policies set out on high meant that many industries could not develop. Apart from tourism and real estate, they had always wanted to make a breakthrough elsewhere.
...
The next day.
Morning.
Tang Kai took the Tang family out to sea for fun, not returning until the afternoon, leaving only Tang Qing alone in the house. Father Tang still felt it was inappropriate, worrying if it might seem disrespectful, but he was still ushered onto the boat by Tang Qing.
Tang Qing explained to him.
The Tang Family.
Was no longer the Tang Family of before, able to have the right to choose their friends. As the country’s wealthiest person, he had to welcome someone with the whole family, a scene that Tang Qing did not like.
Shortly after they went out to sea,
an Audi car drove into Tang Qing’s villa.
Two people wearing suits got out.
One was young, and the other, a middle-aged man, also looked efficient. Seeing Tang Qing at the entrance, alongside the bodyguard but no other Tang Family members, the two did not feel anything was amiss.
They were looking for Tang Qing.
"Boss Tang, hello, I am Wei He, the one who spoke to you yesterday, and this is our Mayor Zhong," the young man stepped forward to introduce.
Tang Qing shook hands with Zhong Lesheng.
"Welcome, both of you, please."
"Sorry to disturb."
As they walked into the living room.
"Boss Tang really knows how to enjoy life,"
Mayor Zhong Lesheng began with the usual bland pleasantries, though it was indeed what he felt. The entire villa’s decoration looked exceedingly luxurious but did not fall into clichés.
"It’s okay, just something I threw together..."
"..."
After a few more trivial exchanges, Zhong Lesheng swiftly got to the point.
"Boss Tang, the purpose of my visit, I believe you can guess. Personally, I am very proud of your company’s achievements. In many respects, it is Boss Tang’s enterprise that has brought us to the forefront of the world."
"Sanya, previously primarily supported by the tourism and related real estate industries, however, in the future, this type of single economic model cannot last long. We also hope to have a city landmark in other areas... "
Once he started,
he went on for ten minutes.
Mainly introducing the local advantages, hoping that if Tang Qing had any suitable projects, he could consider launching them here, as they would provide the utmost support and assistance.
Having heard the elaboration,
Tang Qing slightly shook his head.
"A city’s landmark, I believe, is not just an industry, but also an image – the image presented to the outside world. For instance, Qingyan City is currently positioned as a cultural and tourism city; that’s its industrial landmark."
"Another one is the image landmark, the impression all visitors have when they travel here. That, I think, is more important than the so-called industrial landmark. After all, people come here to relax."
