Rebirth: Super Banking System

Chapter 186: Chapter 157 New Investment (Please Subscribe!) _1

After sending Zhou Jiao back, Tang Qing drove alone to Liu Qian’s place. As agreed during Chinese New Year, he was there to repay the four million dollar loan. The original agreement stipulated repayment after the New Year, and naturally, he couldn’t go back on his word. With a bit of free time these days, he hurriedly paid off his debt.

He even considered repaying the 300 million RMB loan early. After all, the money sitting idle in his system accounts, although not generating any additional interest, was also not making any profits. The money he earned was already enough for transactions. With no purpose other than looking pleasing to the eye, it was essentially wasted.

However, he quickly repressed this impulse.

It wasn’t because he couldn’t bear to part with the agreed exchange rate difference, but rather, he was worried that his haste to repay his debt might give Liu Qian the wrong impression. Even though they had grown familiar and had a decent relationship, Liu Qian wouldn’t dare move against him casually, but one still had to guard against others. Relative to Liu Qian, Tang Qing was still a fledgling. Staying cautious wasn’t wrong.

Moreover, he hadn’t completely figured out Liu Qian’s background. Previously, he had been thinking of ways to thoroughly investigate Liu Qian, but how could an ordinary civilian easily uncover Liu Qian’s ’grey industry chain’? And he didn’t have anyone capable of undertaking such a task. This was not something that could be done simply through inquiries and bribes.

If it were a normal company investigation, there would be traces to follow. He could search online, buy out internal employees, employ hackers, use corporate spies, and if he wanted to be careful, employ all these methods at once. But for Liu Qian’s illicit deals, you couldn’t even find the key people, let alone any registration and filing information. Normal methods simply didn’t work. If you dared to inquire one by one, you could possibly end up dead the next day. The task was certainly not an easy one.

Sky Eye, firstly, didn’t have the ability, and secondly, it was not suitable to participate in such dangerous affairs. Once again, Tang Qing felt the need for a dedicated intelligence organization to handle such ’dirty and tiring’ jobs. Yet finding a trustworthy and competent person to manage such an organization was not easy. People were unpredictable.

At this time, even Sun Chao did not reach this level of trust in his mind and was still under consideration. Gratitude alone did not mean he could do anything for Tang Qing. As his business expanded, he couldn’t possibly fully trust the people he hired. Money could sway people’s hearts and a gun could make a person spill everything.

Damn it, Tang Qing wanted to curse again. If he had taken the regular path, like other business protagonist, he wouldn’t have urgently needed such extremely trustworthy people. He would have just needed proper supervision. But every time he looked at the weapons in the mall, he knew that his future path was totally different from those protagonists in novels. These firearms were certainly not for his own use. Keeping those who did use them a secret was a challenge. As his business grew, more people would pay attention to him, more would be envious, and who knew who might sell him out.

Just thinking about it made him feel miserable. Having money didn’t amount to anything. What did it matter if he had billions in deposits and an off-the-chart strength value? There were too many things he couldn’t do. The lack of a trustworthy person puzzled him, and he had no way to solve it. The things he could solve with money, others could also solve with money. The road was fucking getting harder and harder.

Forget it, he didn’t want to think about it anymore. It was giving him a headache.

After being notified and examined, Tang Qing’s car entered the villa area.

Since he wasn’t a resident here, Tang Qing had to call Liu Qian to get permission every time he entered or left. After all, this was one of the top villa areas in Qingyan City with a lot of dignitaries. Even Liu Qian, the developer, didn’t dare to easily break the rules. Plus, he genuinely wanted to know when Tang Qing was arriving to make arrangements. After entering the villa area, Tang Qing took out four million dollars in cash, so there were 32 million less in his account.

When he arrived at Liu Qian’s villa, Liu Qian was, as always, standing at the door to greet him. After exchanging pleasantries, Tang Qing handed over the money. Gangzi and another person started counting the bills on the spot. Although the amount wasn’t much and there was already a level of trust established, the remaining processes had to be completed to avoid any disputes later. Clear and transparent was the best way.

The banknote detector buzzed continuously while Tang Qing and Liu Qian sipped tea.

"Uncle Liu, apart from repaying the debt, I am here to thank you for your help with my company. I didn’t expect you to prepare so thoroughly in advance, saving us a lot of effort," Tang Qing said with a smile, adhering to the saying, ’when someone gives you face, you should accept it graciously.’ Liu Qian quietly helped save his company a lot of workload for free, and he naturally would express sincere gratitude. Even if Liu Qian had ulterior motives, so what? Who the hell would like to interact with someone who wanted nothing from them?

As the saying goes, it’s not afraid of being used by others, but rather being perceived as useless. Some people might feel great satisfaction in being perceived as useless, and there was nothing more to say about them. So Tang Qing was never afraid of why others were dealing with him and helping him. Since they helped, it was a favor. Once repaid, their relationship was slowly solidified. If you were to refuse, they might wonder whether you held something against them, just as when you give a gift while asking for a favor. If you accept, they are relieved, but worried about making a mistake. Otherwise, it’s you who are anxious, afraid they might not do their best.
