During that time.
Various wineries once resisted.
Unfortunately.
It was all in vain.
In terms of taste and effects, apart from ’history’, they lost in all other aspects, getting trounced and ground into the dust by fruit wine. Now, the major global red wine merchants are all quietly licking their wounds.
They’ve completely become ’mid-range wines’.
Their pitiful state.
Is truly lamentable.
Fruit wine.
Has ascended to the altar.
Becoming the world’s sole ’high-end wine,’ for apart from lacking age, history, and a matching culture of wine, it’s faultless. Those who have tasted it, remember it for life.
Its status is unshakeable.
Looking at the porcelain bottle on the table, Tang Qing also thought about launching red wine, but as soon as he thought of those Western gentlemen reverting to their wine glasses at dinners, swirling the deep red liquid, Tang Qing immediately stopped this thought.
Since.
It has changed their habits.
Then don’t revert back.
Continue.
How it should be drunk will be decided by him as well, hence, in the middle of this year, fruit wine introduced a whole set of ceremonial apparatus and methods for drinking fruit wine. And all this was designed by Tang Qing.
There is nothing.
More interesting than changing the entire world’s habits in using something.
...
Watching fruit wine, the attendees all recalled a figure—Tang Kai. Frankly speaking, if Tang Kai were on the list, he would definitely secure the third spot on this year’s Hurun and Forbes Huaxia lists.
Even.
He might have a shot at second place.
However.
Currently.
Tang Kai’s residency is rather mysterious, due to his unconventional departure from the country. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
His Huaxia residency is not cancelled.
His Thai residency is also in place.
Both lists eventually did not rank Tang Kai in the Huaxia list, not because they don’t recognize his Huaxia identity, but because his major properties are overseas, with a very small business proportion domestically.
Moreover.
His assets are difficult to calculate.
After a final tally.
They just let it be.
Although uncounted, everyone present has their own judgment. Based on his business scope and industry status, they can approximately estimate Tang Kai’s net worth. At the very least, it starts at one hundred billion.
The largest jade and jewelry wholesale company in Thailand.
The best-selling electric car brand in Huaxia.
Asia fruit wine distribution.
It is said that he has many industries in Myanmar too—special steel, electric machines, batteries, construction, hotels, island development. He also does stocks and investment. Oh, and his electric vehicles are going public this month.
The scope of industries.
Is very broad.
An estimation of one hundred billion.
Is indeed very conservative and not an overestimate.
The Tang Family.
Seems like they’ve fallen from the sky, rising too quickly. This time, Tang Kai is not on the Huaxia list, but next March, Forbes’ global list will definitely include him.
By then.
They will know the true property of the Tang Family.
...
"Chairman Tang, thank you for your continuous support of Huawei," Ren Zhengfei raised his glass of fruit wine. He and Tang Qing were both competitors and partners, as well as clients and service providers to each other.
Overall.
It’s very complex.
"Don’t mention it, we’ve always been confident in your products," Tang Qing smiled and clinked glasses with him, his data center uses products from Huawei, or rather, from Zhihua Company.
"We will work even harder,"
Ren Zhengfei stated earnestly.
In his eyes, Tang Qing saw deep determination; he knew that Ren Zhengfei always had thoughts of surpassing ’Zhiya Technology.’ Huawei, or Ren Zhengfei himself, has their pride.
Previously.
They were disruptors.
Moving forward on their own.
Thorns were cut through.
However.
In the 4G project, a company called ’Zhiya Technology’ emerged out of nowhere. Their 4G technology solution shocked everyone, and eventually, with a simple gesture, they established what is now Zhihua Technology.
In subsequent collaborations.
They truly witnessed the strength of this company, which has consistently outperformed Huawei in the realm of technology, and hence, in various core products and plans, they played a decisive role.
Now.
Zhihua is successful.
The main provider of 4G equipment worldwide.
Yet Rent Zhengfei still has an obsession in his heart, and that is to surpass them. Zhiya Technology is not a Huaxia enterprise, and as a Huaxia entrepreneur, he feels obliged and responsible to charge into battle.
Regarding this.
Tang Qing is utterly indifferent.
Having ambition.
That’s good.
He stirred things up everywhere just to stimulate Huaxia entrepreneurs to fight for some pride. Launching 4G early was also because he saw its development was too slow; he had a smartphone but still had to disguise it as an MP4.
This.
Is the very reason why he had Zhiya Technology come over.
If Huawei shows promise in its subsequent developments and gets ’surpassed’ by Zhiya Technology, it’s not a big deal; they could always lie low. And if one day Huawei becomes complacent.
He would then stoke the fires anew.
In short.
What he hopes for.
Is merely for Huaxia enterprises to fight for some pride.
This bit of loss of interests.
He doesn’t care about it.
What about being technologically ahead of the curve? That also doesn’t matter. Of course, he’s not at the point of crippling himself; in the future, apart from him, Huaxia enterprises will have another force driving them forward.
--- A subsidiary of the Myanmar Bank Group.
Now.
Is just the beginning.
At the table.
After succeeding Ren Zhengfei.
Tang Qing took the initiative to toast the others.
Face.
Is mutually given.
Being at the forefront just now, he wasn’t attentive and got upstaged by Ren Zhengfei. The people present are generally twice his age; sitting like his own elders doesn’t look good, and outsiders might think the Tang Family lacks manners.
Even with wealth.
In Huaxia.
Age is also a universally accepted reason for respect, and Tang Qing agrees. Everything he has now is thanks to the efforts of the older generation, and he is standing on the shoulders of giants.
The necessary humility and respect.
Are a must.
However.
This is about treating people in private.
In business.
He still insists on principles. The market doesn’t believe in tears; if you enter the battlefield brandishing a sword, don’t expect your enemies to all be holding fruit and bananas. You must survive as a fighter.
Seeing each other once a year.
Better to leave a good impression.
Watching Tang Qing skillfully navigate among the big shots, they nodded secretly. In Huaxia, being ruthless and decisive in business does not invite questions, but if one fails at being a decent person, that’s a real issue.
During the meal.
Tang Qing also went around other tables, making the acquaintance of many people – scholars, professors, scientists, businessmen, government officials, and foreign attendees. They all highly praised Tang Qing’s behavior.
This person is not bad.
Of course.
Acquaintance.
Does not mean exchanging business cards; he only collects, doesn’t distribute. Everyone also understands why; Tang Qing works less than an hour a day and certainly doesn’t like to be harassed by their calls, which they can understand.
...
In the afternoon.
Tang Qing played the role of a speech guest again.
Anyway, it was just about sweet-talking.
He did it with ease.
In the evening.
Since there was hardly any time to interact with Tang Qing at noon.
Quite a few people learned of Tang Qing’s residence, and about thirty acquaintances agreed to meet at the Autumn Palace for dinner—which pleased Tang Qing. These people might be competitors in the future, but they could also become comrades in the same trench.
