Chapter 368: Chapter 300 Fenghua Asset Management Company (Please Subscribe!) _1
It was half past four in the morning.
It was still dark outside.
However, the diligent vendors had already started transporting the city’s daily needs in, making it far from quiet.
With the last stroke completed.
Tang Qing finally finished the sketch that had taken all night. Looking at the massive painting that covered one wall of his room, he nodded in satisfaction. It was all in black and white, and he had no intention of adding color. Although full and vibrant colors are nice, they couldn’t express the spirit of ’battlefield survival’. Black and white, life and death, good and evil, only these could be depicted thoroughly in black and white, especially the sense of vicissitude and ruin.
Tang Qing also stamped his special seal on it, a master seal carver he found online had carved the seal from Hetian jade. The price was not cheap, it cost one hundred thousand RMB, but Tang Qing did not haggle. He regarded haggling as an insult to China’s traditional craftsmanship. Sure enough, Tang Qing felt it was worth the price, whether it was material or other aspects.
On it was an ’artistic name’ that he took a lot of thought to come up with --- Qing Xue. A somewhat feminine name, he took a character from his name and Lin Jiaxue’s. Looking at it, it seemed a bit foolish. No, it was very foolish, but he was happy with it. After all, this was not meant for sale, and he was not seeking fame. It was just a personal hobby that helped him pass the time.
However, he was feeling a bit troubled now.
Where should he hang it?
On his own wall?
He was joking, there was no room to hang it.
Forget it, he would just keep it, maybe he could give it away someday.
He decided to sleep for an hour first...
...
The next day.
A company named Fenghua Asset Management was established in Qingyan City.
This was the company Tang Qing would use to take over Sky Eye’s loan business. Regardless of the company type, it did not matter what the company was actually doing or what its name was. He found the company name online. Naming was such a nuisance, and who knew how long this company would exist.
Although the license and such were not ready yet, this did not affect the carrying out of the loan business, because the creditor was an individual and not a company, so there was no need for a company seal. Most of them were old customers who had an initial level of trust.
The office was located in the same building as Sky Eye, with only five people, but the office space was not small and the environment was very nice. The staff were all robots, there was little business at the moment, and there was no need to add more people for the time being. The setup was a chairman, two business people, and two security guards, quite rudimentary. Of course, the part-time finance person was not included.
Early in the morning.
On the way to school.
Tang Qing called He Zixin.
Although Tang Qing had just left the house, He Zixin was already at the company because she had the company keys. There were three sets of keys, one with Dou Jiao, one with her, and one with the other deputy general manager. Naturally, Dou Jiao did not need to come early to open the door, but the two deputy general managers needed to take turns to come in half an hour early.
"Boss Tang, what can I do for you?" He Zixin hurriedly answered the phone when she saw it was Tang Qing’s number.
"Manager He, once you start work, call for all the data related to the loan business to be compiled. At ten o’clock, someone will come to get it, you just have to hand it all over to him. From now on, Sky Eye will no longer be in the loan business," Tang Qing said.
Upon hearing Tang Qing’s orders, He Zixin was delighted. To be honest, having the loan business split made He Zixin breathe a sigh of relief. If a company is involved in private lending and somehow becomes accountable in the future, that would spell trouble. Sky Eye, such a huge family business, He Zixin did not want to overturn this increasingly enormous ship due to some insignificant, unprofitable thing.
She had expressed these concerns to Dou Jiao a long time ago, but Dou Jiao, who seemed to have a powerful background, paid no mind. However, that was Dou Jiao’s confidence. He Zixin, a deputy general manager, certainly had no confidence to challenge the law.
"Not a problem, Boss Tang. I will have the materials prepared immediately. By the way, what’s the name of the person coming to pick them up?" He Zixin asked.
"Hmm... this..." Tang Qing was momentarily at a loss for words. He wasn’t entirely sure of the intelligence analyst’s name. After thinking about it, he went on: "Manager He, the person who is coming is the chairman of Fenghua Asset Management Company. He will arrive promptly at ten o’clock, he will definitely be there on time."
The soldiers’ time could be set in the command room. Their sense of time and discipline was very strong. When they said they would be there at ten o’clock, they would never exceed a ten-second margin of error.
He Zixin was also shocked by Tang Qing’s ’memory’. The company was definitely Tang’s, no doubt about it, but he actually forgot the name of the chairman. That was something else. The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to laugh.
"Understood, I got it. I will prepare the materials right away. Does this company accept Sky Eye’s oversight?" He Zixin asked again.
"No, this company is not mine and does not accept oversight from Sky Eye," Tang Qing responded, careful not to admit it.
However, He Zixin could make educated guesses. Of course, it was Tang Qing’s. He just found someone to stand in as the chairman, a common practice in the business world. However, she really did not understand why Tang Qing wanted to enter the ’unprofitable’ loan industry.
Hold on.
He Zixin suddenly thought about the companies regulated by Sky Eye.
It seemed... that they hadn’t made much money over the years either; to be exact, the investment return cycle seemed long.
Well, thinking about it that way, He Zixin felt a bit relieved.
The world of the local tyrant.
Where money is not the concern.
"Understood, Boss Tang," He Zixin replied.
"All right, goodbye."
...
After hanging up the phone, He Zixin quickly ordered someone to clean up the customer and contract records. Naturally, some expired contracts also need to be archived. They can’t just burn everything. The loan business of Sky Eye hasn’t been significant, it was all packed into a rather large archive box.
Ten o’clock.
As the hourly chime rang, He Zixin’s door was knocked on, someone from Fenghua Asset Management Company was looking for her.
Very punctual indeed.
He Zixin hurriedly grabbed the prepared records and went to the door, only to see a handsome young man in his twenties standing at the door. His expression was friendly, but there was something about him that seemed distant.
Quite a character.
He Zixin examined the analyst and secretly admired him. However, there wasn’t the slightest romantic attraction, which left her puzzled. She was someone experienced and worldly, women often harbor certain fantasies about men, especially attractive men.
Today was strange though, she wasn’t promiscuous but was rather adventurous and this was common among women.
Had she really ’mended her ways’?
Unlikely, right?
Forget it, why dwell on it?
So, He Zixin didn’t think much about it anymore.
Little did she know that to prevent robots from catching the attention of normal people and attracting various trivial issues, each robot would emit a unique, barely perceivable scent that suppresses human hormonal secretion. The effect lasted over two days even in the proximity of five meters. Even individuals with strong sexual appetites wouldn’t have any inappropriate thoughts after exposure.
What about after two days? Well, by then the impression would already be vague, having been ’diluted’.
Even Tang Qing didn’t know about this. Or perhaps he’d been ’affected’ too.
"Hello, I am He Zixin, are you the Chairman of Fenghua?" He Zixin greeted cheerfully.
"Hello, Boss Tang asked me to come and collect something at ten o’clock." The analyst stretched out his right hand in a requesting gesture. There was a charming smile on his face, yet He Zixin grew even more confused upon seeing it. Why didn’t she feel any attraction despite his pleasant smile?
"Here you go." He Zixin handed it over without any hesitation.
"Thank you."
The analyst took the documents and turned to leave. 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Leaving He Zixin with a view of his retreating back.
"Impolite."
He Zixin muttered, but she didn’t think much of it, she wasn’t a lovesick fool.
She went back to her office.
The command room of Sky Eye’s loan business had all its records, but Sky Eye was unaware of it. So this was merely a procedure-following exercise, and the loan process was pretty straightforward. There wasn’t much to instruct.
Afterwards, one by one, the previous loan customers received a call about the transfer of business. They didn’t say much, as long as there was money to loan, it was okay if the provider changed. Although, anyone with a bit of sense would know that the real boss had just gone into hiding.
To maintain the borrowing limit of previous clients, Tang Qing directly transferred 50 million RMB to Fenghua Company. Of course, this money was all in the analyst’s name. As for this company, he didn’t own a single share.
From now on, Tang would use his real name on contracts for the system tasks, all other contracts would be under the ’Chairman’s’ name.
With this, one potential problem with Sky Eye was resolved and he had managed to extricate himself.
For a moment, Tang Qing was in high spirits.
He bought a pancake roll and enjoyed it as he walked.
All of a sudden, he saw a newly-opened dumpling shop with a decent crowd. Why not join them?
What about being late?
Well, eating was more important.
PS: To celebrate reaching another whole number Chapter, I’ve been writing for such a long time. Even if I wrote three million words, there wouldn’t be a thousand Chapters. To reach a thousand Chapters, I vow to continue ’writing’. This character for ’writing’ definitely doesn’t mean ’watered down’.
Haha, don’t worry, the main story of this book has not even properly started yet, we’re still at the setup stage, the three million words are definitely coming. I hope everyone will continue to support this book.
An incomplete book?
A poor ending?
That’s not possible.
