Chapter 1479: Chapter 1323: The Luckiest Thing is to Have an Opponent (Subscribe Please!)
Autumn Palace.
Chai Ren and his group did not join in the excitement.
Each went back to their own homes.
They went to play with children.
They normally keep a low profile, and unless it’s with an acquaintance, they generally do not seek to expand so-called social networks. For them, any domestic connections are just a matter of taking a couple of turns.
...
Inside the box.
Tang Qing adeptly navigated amongst a group of business big shots. This time, they truly witnessed Tang Qing’s social skills and the depth of his knowledge that left them in awe.
Talking with the founder of Baidu about search engines.
Discussing data centers with Ren Zhengfei.
Discussing their newest generation of air conditioning products with the president of Gree.
Talking about chips with the chief engineer of Zhongwei Electronics.
Every conversation.
Dove deep into the foundational technology.
All of a sudden, they had the illusion that they were talking to their company’s chief engineer, an industry veteran expert. They had heard that Tang Qing was a top student, but this was... excessively domineering.
In the end.
"Boss Tang, we have so much to learn from you," Ren Zhengfei sighed. Tang Qing had completely earned his respect, with an understanding of communication technology that seemed deeper than even his, the president.
Keep in mind.
This was in a field irrelevant to Tang Qing’s own business.
No wonder.
He could become the wealthiest man.
At this moment.
He was utterly convinced.
Hearing this.
Tang Qing just smiled and said, "Human energy is limited; I study these out of interest. Actually, it’s already quite difficult for a person to fully grasp the knowledge in their own field."
Those words.
Were quite boastful.
It was just short of saying you all are old.
But nobody felt upset, a competitor who had reached the finish line first was entitled to tell others trailing far behind, "Take it easy, don’t wear yourself out."
"I will take this to heart," the president of Gree said. During their conversation, Tang Qing had articulated their latest air conditioning product in detail, even pointing out no less than three design flaws.
To be honest.
She now found it hard to imagine.
What future an opponent who was willing and able to delve into research could bring to the Huaxia business scene, but in this moment, she felt that what they should truly fear was not the investment of several tens of billions.
But the man Tang Qing himself.
He understood technology.
He valued technology.
And had the money to invest in technology.
The combination of these three.
Could make anyone despair. It seems that they need to increase their R&D investment; otherwise, they will definitely falter. No one wants to be eliminated, and this was also the main purpose of Tang Qing’s ’showing off’ today.
...
After the event ended.
Everyone returned to their accommodations.
That night.
Many of them suffered from insomnia, their minds repeatedly flashing back to that young face, reflecting on what they had done in recent years and contemplating the future of their companies. Suddenly, a fiery passion ignited within them.
Such an opponent.
Sparked within them a sudden urge to compete.
Moreover.
During dinner.
Tang Qing had said something that made them think deeply---"The luckiest thing in running a business is to have competitors. The most interesting thing is encountering competitors, and the most exciting thing is defeating them."
At this moment.
They felt they finally understood Tang Qing a little.
He.
Was a crazy man.
A warrior.
...
The next day.
Tang Qing spent the day as a guest.
That afternoon.
With the closing ceremony remarks, the annual meeting ended. Without joining the dinner, Tang Qing set off to return home; he had classes to attend the next day. Shortly after boarding the plane, he received a phone call.
"Tang Qing, have you left Beijing?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing this.
The other party seemed somewhat disappointed.
"Then forget it, I was hoping to invite you for a meal if you were here. Since that’s not the case, let’s wait until next time. I’m calling this time to thank you, they are now safe."
The caller.
Was none other than Pei Yang.
A week ago.
Wei Song and his companion had already arrived in Xin’an City, and the next day they headed domestic, flying to Beijing. Originally, Pei Yang wanted to find them jobs, but to his surprise, they were interested in going into business.
Not inside the country.
But rather, they were preparing to head to Myanmar.
It turned out.
On the return flight.
They met several Chinese businessmen.
All of these were doing business in Myanmar, and due to the Myanmar Bank’s commodity loans to Mozambique, their business naturally extended to Mozambique as well; this trip was essentially a factory inspection.
Consequently.
The two heard quite a bit about the situation in Xin’an City.
And so.
They were somewhat tempted.
If possible.
Since they couldn’t return to their original place, they thought it might be better to make a living in Myanmar. They owed Pei Yang too much, and with so many Huaxia businessmen around, they thought they could probably earn more than they would domestically.
Therefore.
After meeting with Pei Yang.
They brought up this idea.
Pei Yang didn’t say much at that time.
This was indeed a good idea, and moreover, the security over there was said to be very good. So, he silently contacted Chai Ren for the second time, asking him to figure out a way to get a shop there, because the two said they wanted to go into the restaurant business.
Wei Song and his colleague said they didn’t need help.
But.
How could he just stand by?
Once Pei Yang spoke.
Chai Ren didn’t refuse and called Tang Kai to see if he could help. Upon hearing the situation, Tang Kai indicated he could assist, but renting a place in Xin’an City was out of the question, as all the shops there were fully booked, and Xin’an Town was the same.
The shops were not individually owned; it wasn’t simply a matter of renting with money. In the end, they secured a shop location in Kachin City, where a new market was being built, and construction sites were everywhere, with a large concentration of workers living nearby.
Just like that.
Tang Kai found one for them.
Today.
Wei Song officially received the temporary business license, making it possible to commence business. Hence, upon receiving the news, Pei Yang first thanked Tang Kai, then made his second call to Tang Qing.
He thanked Tang Qing.
This gratitude.
Also contained a trace of shock.
After Wei Song was safe, he had been worried that the Tribe would come looking for them, but a few days ago, his grandfather called to reassure him. Clearly, the old man couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.
He is the direct grandson of the Pei family.
In his grandfather’s words.
He received a surprising piece of news. The Tribe, now in trouble, had no intention or time to bother Wei Song due to the person Wei Song had killed.
Just two days after Wei Song left South Africa.
Interpol knocked on the door.
Investigating a case of a missing United States citizen.
The South African side naturally cooperated actively, dispatching elite forces to assist the investigation. However, they weren’t very optimistic, as it was an issue from a year ago, and the difficulty of the investigation was immense, with almost no chance ..
However.
On the fourth day.
The team found solid evidence.
At that time.
It startled the South African police because the evidence revealed that it wasn’t just United States citizens being killed by a snakehead in South Africa, but it also implicated eight cases of missing foreigners in South Africa.
Involving the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Canada, and Saudi Arabia, amongst other five countries.
This time.
The nations that received the news were not pleased.
The media reported one after another.
For a time.
It caused a significant stir in those countries.
Several heads of state issued letters one after another, demanding the perpetrator be found and punished severely. However, as the South African Government investigated, the murderer had already been dead for over a month and was buried, so what explanation could they provide to the concerned countries?
Thus.
The South African Government’s gaze.
Turned to the Tribe that ran the snakehead business.
