Chapter 387: Chapter 314 First Income (Subscription Requested!)_1
In the following days.
Amid the heated discussions among netizens, the fame of this website skyrocketed.
One by one, the children were found and rescued, and the bad guys were brought to justice, which put many ’insiders’ on edge.
They couldn’t help but be afraid. Exchange between peers was sometimes necessary, but as more and more of their peers were captured and disappeared, they became increasingly apprehensive and decided to take a break before ’re-emerging’.
Their plan was to wait out this cold winter, but what they didn’t expect was that this winter would last indefinitely.
It was icy cold, but it warmed people’s hearts.
This led directly to a surge in the website’s registration numbers, breaking the ten-thousand mark rapidly, and the scope of its services was also expanding. It was not only limited to newly lost children but also to adults, even including those who had lost touch decades ago.
This made Tang Qing feel helpless.
After more than a decade, it was almost impossible to find someone in a short time. One, the appearance had changed; two, the clarity of the surveillance video was too low to calculate; three, there was a lack of information at the time. It was extremely difficult to find anyone.
But Tang Qing didn’t reject these applications. He collected all of them, planning to search slowly.
The site didn’t have any communication area anyway, so even if they couldn’t find what they were looking for, it was impossible for them to lynch him online.
At noon on the third day.
The situation received a significant boost.
Because a large number of emails were again sent to local police stations.
These were all suspected targets.
Looking at the information in the emails, the local police were convinced, albeit unhappy about the extra workload, but they weren’t resistant. When the meal is delivered to your bowl, all you have to do is swallow. Not to mention, it was the right thing to do, they would also get a fair amount of bonuses and a sense of honor.
Take District Chief Wu Hao for example, he received an Audi and six motorcycles as gifts from Qi Heng.
A buzz arose on the internet which mirrored reality. Though no formal TV or print media reported explicitly, word of mouth was growing among the public.
At present, the search area was only in Shanghai. Other areas had not been launched yet, but Tang Qing wasn’t in a hurry. The website needed a two-week trial run to perfect necessary functions before it could take nationwide orders.
Registration was, however, open for search tasks in other provinces, with the caveat that their requests would only be processed after ten days. They were asked to wait patiently.
This naturally didn’t satisfy some.
With the guidance of some internet ’ghost army’, who love meddling, there appeared voices criticizing the website.
Observing those restless figures on the internet,
Tang Qing wore a cold smirk.
’Shell it out.’
’Keep on swearing.’
’Just don’t make a fuss in my territory.’
’Because it really gets on my nerves.’
’No era is ever short of people itching for a fight.’
The work he was doing was of public welfare. He didn’t care whether he had support or not.
His own conscience was the biggest support he had. The praises and criticisms of the outside world had nothing to do with him.
Boring and so dull.
In the command room,
Tang Qing watched the inflow of funds in the accounts with fulfillment.
This was much more than a thousand RMB!
Up to now, the ’appreciation’ funds in all the bank accounts had exceeded five million RMB. Qi Heng had given the most - a whole one and a half million RMB. The rest gave varying amounts.
Even many of the local tycoons expressed that as long as their children were found, money wasn’t an issue.
So what was he going to do with this money?
Tang Qing had an idea.
He did not lack money. He had no interest in hundreds of thousands, or even millions of RMB. Even if the unit was in dollars, he would just give it a second glance. He intended to donate all this money - to school construction projects, welfare homes, and the like. He knew that these accounts had long been targeted and it was better to donate it all generously, thus ’creating some good karma’.
But not now. Wait until the total in the account exceeds fifty million RMB, then find a company that specializes in handling this kind of matter. He didn’t want it to be skimmed off layer by layer, by whom, what company - that could be decided later. Just find someone genuinely willing to do good deeds to manage these funds.
He believed no one would have the idea to embezzle this money. Because by the time the accumulated amount reached fifty million RMB, the influence of the website may have already reached the sky.
However,
At this moment,
An inappropriate voice appeared on the projection interface.
It was a message from a fraudulent user. They wanted to cooperate, to extort the parents.
Upon seeing this demand.
Tang Qing instantly became furious.
"Tang Yi, find this guy for me. Damn, is there any humanity left? Go, let the soldiers teach him a good lesson. Anyone who comes up with such indecent ideas... remember, in the future if anyone sends such messages, as long as it’s not a ’trap’, give them a good lesson for me. If they have a criminal record, find all the evidence and throw it in."
If it weren’t for the lack of law enforcement power, such people should be thrown in for ten to eight years.
And to avoid being phished, he would not teach just anyone a lesson.
"Yes, commander." Tang Yi replied.
Several people in a county in Jiangxi province have no idea how severe the punishment they are about to face will be.
Besides, there were many people asking for cooperation, technical exchanges, and advertising slots, but Tang Qing did not want to deal with them at all.
The website issue came to an end.
Tang Qing didn’t pay any attention to it after that.
Let the netizens discuss it.
He has a lot of things to do in a day, and he doesn’t have much time to pay attention to these things.
Just when the Internet was abuzz with discussion.
Chai Ren had also convinced the other shareholders to allow Tang Qing’s ’friend’ to participate.
After the video conference,
Chai Ren took a long breath. Luckily, these partners had a good relationship with him, not just because of mutual interests. Otherwise, without having seen the strength of Tang Qing’s friend, they might have screwed things up.
He wouldn’t have been able to handle the situation then.
Then Chai Ren hurriedly made a phone call.
"Mr. Chai, hello." A familiar voice came.
"Hello, I’ve got everything done on my end. They will each give up a little stock. In the end, the stocks are like this: I own 12 percent, each of you owns 8 percent, and the assets controlled by Yunqi Investment are worth about 30 billion RMB. So, you’d actually be investing 2.4 billion RMB. Considering the services you provided, we decided that 2 billion RMB would be enough. I wonder what your thoughts are?" Chai Ren hastened to say.
"Please wait, I need to consult with the boss."
"Alright."
Tang Qing, who was drawing, received the message and immediately let the soldiers agree. Two billion RMB is not too much. Although it may need to be transferred from the remaining funds of various tasks and would empty his personal account’s available balance, it’s worth it. The initial plan was only to obtain a piece of the pie. Having gained so many quality and powerful networks, the goal has been achieved.
"No problem, we agree."
Upon hearing this, Chai Ren was also very pleased. This thing had finally been accomplished. Thinking about the treatment he would enjoy, he felt pretty good.
"Then when are you coming to sign the contract? I’m waiting for you in Beijing," Chai Ren asked.
"Tomorrow morning, I’ll be there," a soldier said.
You?
Chai Ren was confused.
"Isn’t your boss coming?" Chai Ren asked.
"No need. A stake worth just over two billion is not worthy of being held in our boss’s name." Following Tang Qing’s instructions, the soldier pretended to be nonchalant.
It’s not actually boasting, the conversion is just less than 400 million U.S. dollars, it’s not necessary to bring out the ’big BOSS’, and it retains a sense of mystery.
This statement really choked Chai Ren.
Over two billion?
Not worthy?
Why the need to belittle others?
"Well... okay, call me before you get on the plane, and I’ll pick you up at the airport," Chai Ren said with a wry smile.
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Chai Ren was speechless. After a lot of fuss, the other person didn’t care about this thing at all. This thing was worth two billion; in China, the wealth ranking could be in the top three, right? How rich was this ’friend’?
Never mind.
Comparing oneself with others can be lethal. In the past, when others compared themselves with him and felt inferior, now that he is comparing himself with others, it’s as if he is getting a taste of their former feeling.
But losing to such a powerful force.
He didn’t see any problem with that.
They were not from the same tier or active range, there was no need to compete.
The other party was indeed strong, but that was overseas. In China, his power and influence were the strongest, there was no need to belittle oneself.
PS: I’m busy all day tomorrow, so I stayed up late to write this Chapter tonight. My shoulders are sore, I’m exhausted. The next Chapter will be released tomorrow night, not necessarily on time, but it will definitely be there.
