Chapter 200: Chapter 169: Sky Eye Headquarters (Subscribe please!)_1
Just like that, Tang Qing had two days of peace. However, his staff was extremely busy. As the saying goes, the leaders talk, the followers run. The ordinarily idle Sky Eye was stuffed with many tasks by him. Not to mention, this time it was a huge acquisition involving billions of RMB. Many people volunteered to work overtime, cherishing this rare opportunity for practice even when they were at home.
Although only Dou Jiao and few others went to Province City, the workload here in Qingyan City was definitely not small. They were a team, and a lot of behind-the-scenes work was done by the people here. After all, not only was Liu Qian’s side conducting an audit on the jewelry company, as the investor, they couldn’t fully rely on Liu Qian’s side. They also needed to have their own accounts. Therefore, the Sky Eye division in Qingyan City was extremely busy.
Seeing the investment of hundreds of millions, it occurred to them just how wealthy their boss was. They already knew about Sheng Tang and the huge investment that made their mouths water. However, before they could recover from that surprise, Tang Qing announced another investment of hundreds of millions of RMB, in collaboration with Liu Qian.
Who was Liu Qian? He was a well-known tycoon in the provincial business world. The fact that Liu Qian could play with Tang Qing clearly showed that their boss was wealthy and powerful. Therefore, everyone worked with great enthusiasm, aiming not only to enhance their own capabilities but also to show Tang Qing their worth and gain his approval.
They were already familiar with the operation mode of Tang Qing’s companies and knew that Sky Eye was in a fairly high position. While they couldn’t determine the specific operation of the company, they had the right to supervision. For instance, this time, among the five people assigned to the jewelry company, there was a veteran from Sky Eye, who was chosen due to his good performance and slight experience.
They used to think that a company worth a few million didn’t have many prospects, but now they saw a promising future. Just like the lucky veteran who jumped directly from Sky Eye, he rose from being a team leader to the second in command of the finance department of a company with hundreds of millions in assets. He was under the dual leadership of Sky Eye and the jewelry company, drawing two salaries. It was like skyrocketing success, causing others to be envious.
Besides, over the past two days, the robots were already in place, secretly protecting their targets.
Though it was secretive, the actual implementation was a bit awkward. This kind of protection could only ensure that the target was in sight and couldn’t provide close protection. In case of an emergency, even a distance of ten meters would be quite far. For now, this was the best Tang Qing could do, especially for his two young cousins and Lin Jiaxue. He couldn’t possibly assign persons to the school as students, so the bodyguards could only find suitable locations outside the school and watch with telescopes.
Tang Qing had not anticipated that protecting someone secretly would be so troublesome. However, since it was robots doing the work, at least they wouldn’t be bored.
To avoid appearing too often, the analysts arranged for the bodyguards in Qingyan City to alternate in protecting the targets. Especially when it came to Qin Yugang. Given his vigilance and special routine, the so-called secret protection was quite challenging.
Protecting those in the city was not a problem, well it got a lot more complicated for the grandparents in rural areas and Lin Jiaxue’s grandparents. Villages were usually wary of outsiders. Tang Qing didn’t know how the bodyguards were going to protect them, but he felt sorry for the bunch of robots that had to do it.
It appeared that he needed to launch the communication server as soon as possible. By then, he could install more surveillance cameras and ’share’ the city traffic monitoring network owned by the Ministry of Public Security. Otherwise, the implementation of this security plan was going to be quite disappointing.
On the afternoon of March 4th, as soon as school was over, Dou Jiao called.
"Little brother Tang, we’ve found a suitable location for the Sky Eye headquarters. It completely meets your requirements and the price is also reasonable. Do you want to come and take a look? If it’s not suitable, we can look for another one." Dou Jiao got straight to the point. She was still in Province City, so she hadn’t been the one to locate the place. She hadn’t even used Sky Eye’s services, but directly asked her friends in the Qingyan City’s municipal government for favor. She felt that she was losing her principles, repeatedly using methods she disliked in the past to help Tang Qing, but she didn’t regret it.
"Ha ha, Sister Jiao Jiao is really fast. You worked hard. I’ll go take a look this afternoon. By the way, Jiao Jiao, when will you need the funds?" Tang Qing said cheerfully.
"I always need money," Dou Jiao replied moodily. Each time she thinks about Tang Qing investing tens of millions here and hundreds of millions there while Sky Eye remains at the scale of hundreds of thousands, she feels a bit resentful. However, she was not blaming Tang Qing as Sky Eye indeed had the power of supervision and audit. It could be said to be the upper department of those companies. It was just discouraging when the scale was only in the hundreds of thousands.
But things are getting better now. Sky Eye would have some expensive fixed assets. After the construction of the entire headquarters of Sky Eye, it would at least cost Tang Qing tens of millions or even more. Whenever Dou Jiao thought about it, she was excited. Although it’s not money, the market value has gone up.
"..." Tang Qing was speechless for a moment. He certainly understood the source of Dou Jiao’s "resentment’. That was also one of the reasons he let Sky Eye construct the ’base’ for the communication server.
"Hehe, alright, my little brother Tang. The negotiation here has already been completed. President Liu’s funds will be transferred over tomorrow, and your one hundred million will need to be transferred after the handover is completed around the 10th of March. By the way, what is the relationship between you and President Liu? You guys treat each other so well.", Dou Jiao laughed. She found the entire acquisition negotiation process was mysterious. She had not seen Liu Qian, the chairman, but only a vice-president from Tianqian Group.
That vice-president and his team were extreme respectful towards her which really surprised her. They did not know her background. Moreover, she knew Liu Qian was not short of money but still wanted to do business with Tang Qing. It obviously indicated that he wanted to express goodwill and form a beneficial alliance. Her little brother was becoming more and more interesting.
"Hehe, it’s nothing. We’re just friends. Please give me your account number before you need the funds, and I’ll transfer the money.", Tang Qing said vaguely.
"Cut it out, if you don’t want to say it, then forget it. On Saturday morning, specifically on the 12th at 9:30 am, you must attend the first board meeting of the jewelry company and meet everyone." Dou Jiao answered, not sounding very happy.
"Alright, I’ll be there a day early. This afternoon, I will go to see the place you found first.", Tang Qing agreed, while thinking that he had to think of excuses to ask for leave from his uncle and his colleagues. There was no airport in Qingyan City until the end of the year, so he could only go by car. However, it wasn’t far, and he would get there in four to five hours by private car on the expressway.
"Okay, just don’t forget. But even if you do, it doesn’t matter. I will remind you at that time.", Dou Jiao replied.
After having lunch, Tang Qing immediately called Sun Chao and went to the location arranged by Dou Jiao. Accompanying them was a vice-general manager of Sky Eye Consultation. They explained to Tang Qing the specifics of that place on their way. The vice general manager, whose name was He Zixin, was a thirty-two-year-old highly successful woman with rich job experience, which made up for Dou Jiao’s shortcomings.
Dou Jiao had sent him the details of this place in the morning, she even came to inspect the place herself and thought it was quite good. That’s why Dou Jiao decided to call Tang Qing.
This place was a huge site enclosed by a fence. All it had was a row of prefabricated houses and some open steel sheds. Previously, this place was used by a construction company to store various construction materials. Due to the urgent need of funds, they sold this place at a low price.
Tang Qing guessed that Dou Jiao must have used her connections, otherwise getting a place of nearly 30,000 square meters for only 15 million — and so quickly — was simply a steal.
