Chapter 371: Chapter 303 Expanding Business (Please Subscribe!)_1
After listening to Tang Qing’s explanation, Gao Ming heaved a sigh of relief.
He was truly afraid that Tang Qing, young and adventurous, would love the thrill of battle, sending his brothers onto the battlefield. Thankfully, this wasn’t the case. If Tang Qing dared to do such a thing, even Gao Ming’s great abilities wouldn’t save the company.
This was the bottom line.
Gao Ming continued, "Boss Tang, no problem, as long as it’s not going onto the battlefield, my brothers should be willing to work abroad."
"That’s good. Don’t worry Gao, there won’t be any danger abroad as long as they’re careful. I couldn’t possibly let them undertake such dangerous endeavors," Tang Qing said with a smile. The battlefield is a place for soldiers. Even if someday it becomes necessary to escort goods across unstable areas, he would outsource it to military forces or have it done by a group of soldiers embedded in the convoy.
He does not wish to cause unjustified harm to these men overseas, he wouldn’t be able to face himself if that happened.
Of course, if it’s simply bad luck, there’s nothing he can do about that.
"That puts my mind at ease," said Gao Ming, nodding his head.
"By the way, Gao, what’s the name of our company, and where’s the headquarters?" Tang Qing suddenly realized he didn’t even know the name of the company or where it was located, which he admitted was a bit silly.
"Our company is named Zhongyu Special Guard Bodyguard Company. Although ’bodyguard’ is in the name, we also do security work. Our headquarters is located in the suburbs of Province City where I bought a large piece of land to build our training and accommodation facilities," Gao Ming said, blushing a bit. But, he had no choice. The bodyguard business in China is tough. Being able to do security work on the side ensures his brothers don’t become unemployed.
Tang Qing didn’t intend to limit the company to bodyguard services but wanted it to offer comprehensive security solutions.
"That’s good. We can do both in the future. When we build a new training base in Qingyan City, my enterprises here won’t be few." Tang Qing said. Qingyan City was his stronghold. Besides his soldiers, he also wanted to establish some ’power’ here.
"Yes, Boss Tang."
Gao Ming had already started to play his role.
When the business talks ended with everyone well pleased, Han Leng poured all a glass and said, "Cheers, to the success of your cooperation."
"Haha, sure."
Several beers were downed, but not one murmur of drunkenness was heard.
"Little Tang, I heard from Sun Chao that he can’t even beat your one hand now. How about we give it a try after dinner?" Han Leng suggested, putting down his beer.
"That...might not be a good idea," Tang Qing said with a bitter smile.
Another fight, another one-sided battle; it just wasn’t interesting anymore.
"What’s wrong with it? We used to only be able to beat you when Sun Chao and I fought together. This time, I want to see just how much stronger you’ve become." Han Leng clenched his fist, and the crackling sounds gave away his excitement. It was an unhealthy habit, and it hurt his knuckles, but he couldn’t help it; it was an old habit.
"Alright then," Tang Qing finally agreed, not wanting to seem petty or rude. Besides, he needed to ’deter’ Gao Ming properly, because practitioners respect only the strong.
For a long time, Tang Qing had not been to the command room to fight with the soldiers. Mainly because there was nothing left for him to learn. All the standard, humanly possible moves and techniques, Tang Qing could do. But being a soldier is about being a war machine. The human body is not designed for those ’illegal’ moves that would surely break an arm or leg, and he didn’t want to learn that kind of self-torture.
Instead, he sometimes went to the training area for some target practice.
After destroying piles of guns, he lost interest.
When he upgrades and unlocks the new items in the mall in the future, if there are some larger items, he could try them out in the training area. Firing a barrage of guns? That seems a little wasteful, just firing a couple shots for fun would be enough.
To be honest, he thought the equipment in the current mall was already sufficient. Even if more weapons were unlocked, he didn’t know where to use them.
The weapons available in Myanmar were all pretty low end, but with the soldiers skilled in decapitation strikes, there were few straight-on conflicts even when under attack.
But they would be nice for self-defense.
Like if he had missiles in the future.
If there was a war-ravaged place that needed to clear some large targets...
He could fire a few rounds.
He just wasn’t sure how those countries would react when they saw unidentified targets on their radar.
After a lively lunch, Han Leng’s wife took care of the aftermath. They sat around drinking tea and chatting, listening to Gao Ming reminisce about some unimportant training or missions. Tang Qing felt a sense of longing when he heard about the struggles of Gao Ming’s company and his original aspirations.
Tang Qing felt this was worthwhile.
It was also a way of fulfilling his original promise to Sun Chao.
An hour later.
The food was mostly digested, and Han Leng’s wife had taken the children home.
The man in glasses was looking after the shop outside.
The three of them moved to the training room at the back.
It was early spring.
A little chilly.
But they were men of action and vigor, and stripped down to their vests.
Tang Qing stood on one side, Sun Chao and Han Leng on the other, and Gao Ming stood at the door, arms folded, eagerly watching the coming fight. Han Leng had said Tang Qing was incredibly strong, and Gao Ming believed it. But just how strong, he wanted to see for himself.
It had been a long time since Sun Chao last sparred with Tang Qing. After being mercilessly beaten and left questioning his life, he hadn’t challenged Tang Qing again. Getting thrashed was one thing, but Tang Qing was also his boss, and Sun Chao wasn’t stupid. No matter how much he itched for action, he knew better than to openly challenge Tang Qing. He had only used the security members of Sheng Tang to practice moves. For them, dealing with this lunatic was a nightmare. But given Sun Chao’s particular status, they all had to put up with it.
"Are you ready?" asked Tang Qing, looking at the two and smiling.
He didn’t make any moves himself, just stood there with his hands at his sides. From his point of view, these two men already posed almost no challenge. If there were three of them, he might be a bit more careful. Having an extra pair of hands would make the fight several times more difficult.
Even for special forces, facing four or five knife-wielding hooligans at once would ensure defeat. There is no reality where one man can take on over a dozen thugs.
Soldiers, however, are not human.
"Very confident, aren’t we?" Han Leng laughed.
"Not really, it’s just that win or lose doesn’t really seem to make a difference," Tang Qing said somewhat embarrassed.
"Here we come," Han Leng warned, undeterred.
"Okay," Tang Qing answered, raising his hand.
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Chao’s two men instantly attacked.
Looking at their movements, Tang Qing wanted to say: Really, nothing has changed. They’re using such sharp techniques right off the bat, did they ever consider the feelings of my little brother,
That’s right, one went for a direct side kick to his head, and the other used a dirty trick.
Tang Qing shook his head.
Their speed is a bit slow.
After unlocking Level 1 genetic lock, he couldn’t control his speed and power, but after unlocking the Level 2 genetic lock, their attack speed posed no threat at all to him.
Just as the afterimage passed, Tang Qing blocked the leg to one side of his head with one hand, and kicked away the other leg with his foot.
"Bang..."
He stepped back.
First move, just to remind Tang Qing to be careful.
Next, after Sun Chao began to doubt his life, Han Leng also started to question everything he had learned so far.
Under their full-force attack, Tang Qing’s expression never changed. He always seemed relaxed, his power and speed suppressing both of them.
Five minutes later.
"Stop." Han Leng stepped back.
"What happened?" Sun Chao also stopped his attack.
"Two people aren’t enough, captain, let’s all go together." Han Leng told Gao Ming.
"Is this okay?" Gao Ming was taken aback.
"Come on, I want to see if I can handle it. This time, I’m going to fight back." Tang Qing said with a smile.
"Okay."
Gao Ming took off his coat, revealing his robust muscles, and the three people surrounded Tang Qing in a fan-shaped formation.
Three minutes later, as soon as the three people approached, all their functions were neutralized by Tang Qing’s various techniques. No one could get close to Tang Qing, all their tricky techniques and even their kill moves were all send right back by Tang Qing.
"Bang..."
Han Leng was kicked back by Tang Qing once again.
"I’m done." Han Leng waved his hand.
The other two also stopped attacking.
"You guys were great." Tang Qing said with a smile, a hint of playfulness in his eyes, for three people, he would need to summon all his focus just to barely win.
You guys?
Not you.
Alright, they got smacked by Tang Qing once again.
But like monkeys seeing Tang Qing, they saw hope in their future paths. If it were not for their special relationships, they would not be able to help reporting.
"Little Tang, you’re very strong, but, don’t show off too much in the future, otherwise, if people noticed, it wouldn’t be good. Your strength, among all the people I’ve met, can be counted on these fingers, those are all national treasurers. You guys should also pay attention to keeping secrets." Gao Ming advised. So long as Tang Qing didn’t harm the national interest, he was already prepared to stand on Tang Qing’s side.
"Understood."
"Got it."
"Thanks for the reminder, I will be careful." Tang Qing thanked him, but if it weren’t for his trust in the relationships with Han Leng and Sun Chao, he wouldn’t have demonstrated his skills so openly.
"I really don’t know how you trained." Han Leng said sourly. Could this be what they call a genius?
"Eat well, sleep well, pay attention to exercise, maybe that’s what they call inherent talent." Tang Qing started to blabber.
The others looked at Tang Qing strangely.
"Alright, I’ll go back to class first, I’m an hour late." Tang Qing checked his watch and said.
"Go on, come play when you have time, although the water here is too shallow to harbor a dragon like you." Han Leng wiped his sweat and said,
"What are you saying? I’m just a bit busy. By the way, Uncle Han, do you want to start a bigger shop?" Tang Qing suddenly changed the topic.
"I don’t want your money," Han Leng shook his head.
"It’s not a gift. I have a friend who has a loan company, the monthly interest rate is 1 percent, I can give you half of that, which is the same as a bank loan, and it doesn’t require collateral, I trust in Mr. Han’s credit." Tang Qing said.
"This..." Han Leng hesitated. People tend to aim high, he still wasn’t old, only in his thirties, he certainly has the ambition to succeed.
Seeing Han Leng’s interest, Tang Qing promptly said, "Let’s decide on this. Your shop here is a bit small, open a bigger one in the city, and open a fitness gym next to it. You can focus on both, think about it, this isn’t a gift."
"Well... Alright, I’ll think about it." Han Leng still needed to discuss it with his wife, but he believed she would agree. If not for the lack of money in the past, he wouldn’t have opened the shop here.
"Here’s the address and phone number of the company. Once you make up your mind, just go there, and mention your name. Once you sign the contract, you can get the money the same day. Within 3 million RMB should be enough for you to open a decent store." Tang Qing handed over another business card from Feng Hua Company.
"3 million? That’s definitely enough, how much is the rent in the city center." Han Leng was also stunned by this move, at an interest rate of 0.5%, there’s no difference from giving it away, and no collateral needed.
"Haha, that’s good. Not only outdoor supplies, but you can also do some sports clothing and the like. I don’t know much about it. Uncle Han, do what you think is right," Tang Qing suggested.
"Alright, thank you." Han Leng gave his sincere thanks. He didn’t help Tang Qing much, but Tang Qing helped him a lot. Sun Chao, Gao Ming, and now it’s his turn. He felt like he owed Tang Qing a lot.
Tang Qing shook his head and said, "What’s there to be polite about? You taught me so much back then. Although I never called you a master, our relationship is closer than most. The only thing to note is, don’t tell my uncle about this."
"Okay, I’ll keep it a secret." Han Leng promised.
