The next day.
As soon as Tang Qing woke up, he received the bank account and password that he had extracted from Tomohisa Ide and obtained a total of 330 million RMB in funds. It was not that Tomohisa Ide only had so much money, but many of his funds were in the company’s account, and some that were kept in Japan were unknown.
However, Tang Qing was not particularly interested in the rest of Tomohisa Ide’s money. At this point, an extra hundred million or two wouldn’t make much of a difference to him. In the past, he only had the profit from arbitrage, and the profits from exchanging dollars with Liu Qian could be completely ignored.
Now both the funds retained for various plans and the cash and assets reserved in Bangkok were plentiful. His avenues for accruing money had also drastically changed. For instance, raising the arbitrage limit, having the robots make money in the casino, or even implementing an expanded version of Plan No. 6794, could all solve part of his financial problems in a short period of time.
He didn’t keep the 330 million RMB for long and directly transferred it to Tang Yi. Because in a few days, the communication server would be available, and he planned to start implementing the internet surveillance plan in part. At that time, a large number of analysts would be needed, and the main task for these robots initially would not be surveillance - as there is not much to monitor at present, but rather intelligence collection.
By then, Sky Eye would just be one small mechanism in his empire. The final verification work would be placed on the command room’s side to make sure Sky Eye won’t misuse its power. He trusted Dou Jiao, but did not trust the potential ulterior motives of the working staff under the increasingly powerful Sky Eye.
Overall, within a short period of time this plan would not have much use. Even for several years, it might just be minor actions. However, the prospects were vast.
After breakfast.
Tang Qing and his two cousins left the neighborhood together, then went their separate ways. Along the way, Qin Shiqi ’extorted’ hundred yuan from him. Although she was curious about why Tang Qing always gave her brand-new bills that she didn’t want to spend, she no longer asked after several attempts of inquiry to which Tang Qing responded with nonsensical answers.
Tang Qing pulled out his phone and dialed a number after a few steps.
In a little while, the cheery voice of his uncle, Tang Kai, came through the phone. "Tangtang, so early, what’s up?"
"Uncle, when do you have time to come back?" Tang Qing asked with a smile. The situation was very clear now; there was no more threat to Uncle from both domestic and overseas, he naturally needed to report this ’good news’ to Tang Kai.
"How are things on your end? What did they say?" Tang Kai asked cautiously upon hearing this.
"Don’t worry, everything’s alright. They won’t come to bother you anymore." Tang Qing said.
"Really? Any requirements? Do I need to apologise?" Tang Kai asked anxiously.
"No requirements, there’s no need to apologise because, as far as I know, Lei Yang is not Le Peng’s biological son, so he won’t go after us for someone of that sort." Tang Qing said.
"Ah, that’s great. I’ll head back tonight." Tang Kai said excitedly. After being away from home for several years, he finally had the opportunity to return. If it wasn’t for other business, he would want to rush back immediately.
"Alright then, I’ll make a reservation first. We will have dinner together tonight." Tang Qing said.
"No, no, no. You can’t make the reservations, it should be me." Tang Kai hastily interjected.
"Alright, Uncle, there’s no need to be polite with me. I have to go to class now. I will invite everybody from our family, my uncle and the Lin family are also back. Don’t forget to prepare gifts, there will be many people." Tang Qing said with a smile.
"Haha, certainly, I won’t forget the gifts and will make sure everybody is satisfied. I will call you when I arrive." Tang Kai announced with a hearty laugh.
"Deal."
Following this, Tang Kai ended the call.
Sitting in the hotel, Tang Kai fell deep into thought. He had been keeping a close eye on Lei Peng’s information, but he also knew about Tang Qing’s deceit. However, he couldn’t figure out how powerful Tang Qing’s friend was, how quickly they managed to investigate the matter thoroughly, and even hospitalised Lei Yang.
Yes, he had already received the news that Lei Yang had turned into a vegetable the night before, but he had always refused to believe that it had anything to do with Tang Qing’s friend. Now that Lei Yang had just been admitted, and Tang Qing had immediately called him. It would be unbelievable to say that the two incidents weren’t related.
Looking at the two bodyguards behind him who had a policy of "don’t ask, don’t tell", he couldn’t help but speculate: Tang Qing’s friend investigated and found out that Lei Yang was not Lei Peng’s son, so he directly turned Lei Yang into a vegetable.
So direct, so violent.
This was what he thought was the most likely scenario.
Although he was Tang Qing’s uncle, Tang Qing’s assistance this time had made him somewhat uneasy. How was his nephew going to repay this favor?
He decided to put these thoughts aside. He still had a lot to do today. He would think of ways to return the favor later on.
Subsequently, Tang Kai hurried out to buy gifts.
As a billionaire, he could not give ordinary gifts. He needed to buy good ones. After seeing Tang’s parents, he had to return early. He had heard that there was a mess in Bangkok. Ba Song and several other bosses were almost killed at the same time, and the younger brothers below were starting to stir. He needed to return and stabilize the company.
....
After ending the call with his uncle, Tang Qing dialed his mother’s number.
After five seconds, the call went through.
"Naughty boy, you brought your phone to class again. Spit it out, what is it?" Mother Tang loudly exclaimed on the other end. If it wasn’t for the fact that Tang Qing’s academic performance basically had no room for improvement, she would firmly not allow Tang Qing to bring his phone. A six thousand yuan phone, it hurts to even think about it.
"Mom, you guys don’t have to cook tonight. We’re eating out as someone is treating us." Tang Qing said with a smile.
"Who’s treating? Is it your uncle or their family?" Mother Tang asked in confusion. The only people they knew were the Qin Yugang family. Besides the Lin family, but the Lin family lived not too far away so it did not need Tang Qing to give notice.
"Of course we know them, we’re even quite familiar. This person is also well acquainted with uncle and Uncle Lin, so I invited everyone tonight." Tang Qing said.
"Naughty boy, who is it exactly?" Mother Tang asked in a scolding and jovial manner.
"Hehe, I won’t tell. You’ll know by then. It’s the person who gave me money a few days ago," Tang Qing didn’t mention Tang Kai, he didn’t want his parents to anxiously wait all day. Instead, a surprise in the evening would be good.
"What, so he gave you money and now you’re having dinner on his dime?" Mother Tang’s pitch went up a bit.
"Well, we’re all familiar, so what’s wrong with that? Okay, enough about that. Go notify Uncle Lin and their family later, I won’t call them." Tang Qing said changing the subject.
Mother Tang lectured, "Mysterious, and even if we are familiar, you can’t take people’s money. I will bring the money and return it to them when the time comes."
"No... okay, then you bring it along with you."
Tang Qing initially wanted to refuse, but to avoid his mother’s constant questioning, he decided to agree. Anyway, his mother wouldn’t possibly give the money after meeting Tang Kai.
After instructing a few more things, Mother Tang hung up the phone.
"What happened?" Tang’s father working nearby asked curiously.
"Our son said that someone is treating us to dinner tonight. He said it’s someone we know and that it’s also the person who gave Tang Tang money a few days ago." Mother Tang said with a frown.
"We know him? Okay, bring the money and pay him back when the time comes." Father Tang thought hard but couldn’t figure out who it could be.
"I know, no need to tell me."
