On the other end.
A group of second-generation rich kids wanted to hear what Tang Qing was discussing with Chai Ren.
But none dared to get closer.
Even.
There weren’t any who came over to try and get chummy. Social circles are ubiquitous, and Chai Ren’s circle is of the highest tier. Unless one reaches that level, even within the same circle, there are degrees of closeness. One must not overstep.
"Tang... Uncle."
Chai Ren’s daughter.
Under the guidance of the Zhan Xi family.
Blurted out an embarrassingly awkward title.
Tang Qing was speechless.
I’m only twenty.
And already being called Uncle, Lin Jiaxue has become Aunt, fortunately, in the future, I’m destined to be the ageless heartthrob. My own wife will still look youthful after ten or twenty years, so I won’t fuss over it.
"Call me Brother."
Tang Qing still wanted to put up a fight.
"Uncle."
"Brother."
"Uncle."
"..."
Chai Ren’s daughter’s persistence elicited laughter from a few people. Watching them laugh, Chai Ren’s daughter joined in, and suddenly, Tang Qing had the urge to hurry up and have a daughter with Lin Jiaxue.
Forget it.
There’s no rush.
Let’s talk after university graduation. With the system, I possess capabilities beyond the average person’s imagination. My life is going to be long, so there’s really no need to hurry about continuing the family lineage.
"Speaking of which, Tang Qing, I’m planning on having a second child, so I’ll need your help with the diet," Zheng Lin said.
Although he isn’t the eldest son of the Zheng family.
He too has the mission to carry on and glorify the family name. A daughter will eventually marry out. Even today, with more open-minded thinking, such millennia-old notions aren’t that easily erased.
I heard since the beginning of Zhan Xi’s pregnancy.
She’s been eating special food provided by Tang Qing.
The taste.
When his wife visited Zhan Xi’s place, she couldn’t stop praising it. Normally, only fruits and vegetables can be bought from the special supply store in Qingyan City, and meat is only seen when Tang Qing invites them over.
Knowing the ingredients are rare.
Therefore.
Regarding the issue of children.
That’s why he asked.
"No problem," Tang Qing nodded.
"When my girl is a bit older, I want another one too," Chai Ren said.
"It seems like for a short period ahead, we will all be revolving around the kids," Zheng Lin shook his head. Raising a child and watching her grow is indeed bliss, but the most cherished time is when they are little.
If they are too small.
One mistake in caring.
And it results in crying and fussing.
Once a bit older.
They start to have their own ideas, especially when they reach high school. A myriad of problems will follow. If the daughter falls into early romance and gets deceived by some other family’s brat, and rebels against her own family.
That’s a real headache.
After the children get married.
It will be a cycle again, worry about the children, then start caring about the grandchildren.
In the end.
If one makes it through.
Perhaps you might get to see the great-grandchildren, if I keep thinking about this, I might as well call it a day, "Tang Qing, by the way, how are the IPO plans for Qingyuan Technology going? Has it been approved on their side?"
"It’s been approved, but the date is not set yet. I estimate that it will be after Comet Group and Microcrystalline Technology," Tang Qing said. Maximize profits for the three companies by spacing out their capital influx periods.
"Are you staggering the times?"
"What, looking to make a quick buck?" Tang Qing smiled.
Zheng Lin chuckled: "Hehe, I’ve got that idea, besides, I’m trying to earn some milk powder money for the kid at home."
Milk powder money?
Tang Qing let out a laugh.
The three companies.
After a series of maneuvers.
Chai Ren and the others could at least make ten to twenty billion. This milk powder really is expensive, "Overall, I’m setting it within a month and a half, meaning there will be intervals of about twenty days or so."
"Great, that’s really generous of you, your company shouldn’t even lack the interest to operate this time around." Chai Ren said happily, he wouldn’t dare to make claims about other companies, but Tang Qing’s ones.
Not making money.
Would be against all reason.
Each and every one.
Almost unicorn-level.
Globally recognized, this IPO has the whole world’s capital watching, it’s just a pity that the easiest ones for them to handle are only Comet Group and Qingyuan Technology.
One in Hong Kong.
The other in Xin’an City.
Familiar.
But over in the United States.
Microcrystalline Technology’s stock underwriters won’t possibly give them too many subscription shares, at best they’ll make a quick buck on the secondary market, which is not as secure as the other two, but it’s better than nothing.
"In fact, no, with the company’s high market value, we’ve already made a huge profit, and we don’t want to join the fray." Tang Qing looked down on this petty profit; not to mention making money, he would even let his fighters put money into it.
The vast wealth scavenged from all over the world.
If not spent.
What’s the use of keeping it?
A total of twenty billion dollars.
This money.
Won’t just be thrown in all at once; next year, when the global financial crisis breaks out and global stock markets are broadly in the red, that’s when this money will start flowing in on a large scale, as good steel should be used on the blade’s edge.
When nations start to intervene in their markets.
His company.
Will benefit the most; if it’s rising against the trend, when going with the trend, the sky’s the limit. Based on this logic, Tang Qing didn’t plan to push the stock prices of the three major companies to sky-high levels right from the start.
Step by step.
Slow and steady.
Being stable is more important than being quick.
At this point, Chai Ren raised another question: "Speaking of which, Comet Group is about to raise twenty-six billion dollars in capital this time, do you really need to spend half of it on building data centers?"
"Our current data centers still have forty-five percent redundancy, and moreover, they still have the capacity to expand. If they were fully fitted with equipment, their data processing capabilities would be more than triple the current amount."
Normally.
Chai Ren and the others don’t handle the company’s operations.
But not this time.
In private.
He asked this question.
"It’s very necessary." Tang Qing nodded, "What consumes the most bandwidth in our company?"
"Comet Video."
Chai Ren blurted out.
"Right, the prevalence of the internet is still growing, and the demand for servers will continue to increase. Not to mention the new projects I’m preparing, just take TV and movie on-demand services; there’s still huge room for growth."
"Qingyuan Technology is about to develop a new TV box that discards traditional set-top boxes and cable TV, going for the internet, allowing people to perform on-demand, playback, and viewing on TV."
"This way, our bandwidth and servers both need to be upgraded, and even if we pack all of the current major data centers with equipment, it would still be slightly difficult to meet the demand for the next three years."
"Furthermore, the company’s new project is an even bigger user of bandwidth. For now, I’ll keep the specifics of the project under wraps. In any case, within five years, Comet Group’s market value is bound to surpass two hundred billion dollars, or even more."
Tang Qing said with a confident look.
Immediately.
Stars shone in both of their eyes.
Looking at Tang Qing.
As if looking at RMB.
Two hundred billion dollars.
Even with inflation, converting it into RMB, it must somehow exceed a trillion, right? And the stocks they hold in their hands, even though they’ve diminished somewhat after this IPO, when put together make up more than twenty percent.
That’s worth at least three hundred billion.
Damn.
Tang Qing’s words.
Directly ignited their hearts.
"Really?" Zheng Lin asked eagerly.
Goodness.
That’s a lot of money; the women who had been listening to the conversation were also covering their mouths in surprise, with only one concept in their heads: five years later, Comet Group’s market value would exceed two hundred billion dollars.
Their own husbands.
Through this.
Their net worth would surge past a hundred billion RMB in seconds.
"If I say it’s possible, it will be."
Tang Qing said with a light smile, and added in his mind: even if it isn’t, I’ll make it so. Besides, even without cheating, reaching this market value isn’t a challenge.
