Chapter 503: Chapter 413 Another Custody Group (Subscribe!)_1
The car was speeding along the highway.
Inside the car.
"Tangtang, aren’t you spreading yourself a bit thin? Can your Sheng Tang Group’s profit support all these?" Tang Kai asked with a bit of worry.
"There shouldn’t be a problem. Sheng Tang has already started borrowing from the bank, and I don’t need to invest more in the development of our domestic and Southeast Asian projects. When Sheng Tang Group goes global, I’ll evaluate again," Tang Qing nodded.
In Tang Qing’s view, the capital required for Sheng Tang Group to go global wasn’t much since what Tang Qing wanted to promote globally was Sheng Tang’s high-end luxury fashion brand, not just ordinary cheap clothing.
Shopping habits differ across countries, so there aren’t too many major luxury markets worldwide. The cost per store might be high, but the quantity is low. Hence, it’s not necessarily that new funds would be needed at that time.
"If the funds aren’t enough, I have some here," Tang Kai said. He felt he should support his younger family member’s ambitions, especially since he had the money to spare.
"I know," Tang Qing nodded.
He was rich, very rich indeed, but to show off in front of his elders wasn’t appropriate.
"By the way, did Liu Qian tell you he’s entrusted Sky Eye with the supervision of all his companies?" Tang Kai further asked.
Tang Qing nodded in acknowledgment, "Yes, right when the Sky Eye headquarters were just built, he discussed it with me. Considering our familiarity, I consented. I heard the feedback has been pretty good so far."
"Haha, of course it’s excellent. Liu Qian was praising Sky Eye in our phone conversation the other day. How about having Sky Eye provide service to your second uncle’s company too?" Tang Kai laughed. In their recent phone conversation, Liu Qian had gone in considerable detail about the changes brought by SkyEye’s supervision.
Not only in terms of property but also the establishment of a scientific management system, department reorganization, system changes, function mergers, termination of non-advantageous industries, expansion of core businesses, and other development suggestions. All these Liu Qian had considered before initiating a complete overhaul of his industries.
For the first time, he gained a direct understanding of the various problems within his industries. He wouldn’t have had the heart to allow any ordinary consultancy company to make such changes, but SkyEye’s general manager was Dou Jiao, and the chairman was Tang Qing.
That was enough assurance.
Despite the initial chaos Sky Eye’s management system caused among his employees, its effectiveness was undeniable.
In the past, Liu Qian had to utilize various trusted confidants to safeguard his interests within his enterprises, but under Sky Eye’s scientific management, expert analysis, and neutral disposition, Liu Qian felt a significant enhancement in his company’s finance and strategic direction.
This also resulted in his companies respecting and fearing Sky Eye as a supervisor, but it let him experience the sensation of all his subordinates showing awe. As a result, the entire group’s work efficiency was significantly improved.
It made management much smoother.
"Ah? Second Uncle, you want to entrust your businesses too?" Tang Qing was surprised.
Tang Kai laughed, "Tangtang, as you know, although I have a lot of practical management experience, I’m getting older and haven’t had any formal education. I lack an international perspective and in many respects, have my hands full. So, having your SkyEye help shouldn’t be a problem, at least it wouldn’t suddenly ruin my business."
After careful thought in the past few days, Tang Kai accepted that Sky Eye’s supervision is synonymous with financial transparency, but so what? Tang Qing is his family, and there’s no harm if Tang Qing knows the financial status.
After some thought, Tang Qing agreed, "Alright, but it will have to wait a while since Sky Eye doesn’t have any overseas employees yet. However, we can quickly hire people. As for training, I guess it will take about a month."
Isn’t supervising one entity pretty much the same as supervising two? It’s just more business, and it’s not like they won’t pay.
"Great, I presume my management work will be a lot easier from now on," Tang Kai was pleased.
As the largest jade and jewellery wholesaler in Thailand, his business was expanding. He was also doing jewellery business domestically and handling everything by himself was starting to get overwhelming. He trusted his various confidants, but none of them could match having an impartial family member like Tang Qing checking up on things.
SkyEye.
He believed it was a near-perfect business management method.
Absolute neutrality.
No managerial rights.
No interference in operations.
Only making reports behind the scenes.
Knowledgeable.
Excellent team.
Simply perfect.
Tang Qing chuckled in response.
Tang Kai might have taken it easy, but Dou Jiao was probably going to get a headache. This was her domain to manage. Last time when Liu Qian’s Tianqian Group and other companies joined, it caused Dou Jiao a lot of stress with recruitment and training matters.
However, afterwards, Dou Jiao was quite proud of her organisational skills.
Well then.
The recently relaxed Sky Eye will be busy again with a new batch of businesses to supervise, requiring new hires and training.
That’s also fine.
It not only helps to train Sky Eye’s staff.
It indirectly protects his Second Uncle’s industries.
And it generates some profit too.
Three benefits in one.
And so, on their way, Tang Qing and his Second Uncle chatted about various business matters, not just about the present, but also the future and other industries. With his foresight advantage, Tang Qing’s views were unquestionably unique, causing even an outsider like Youman to recognise Tang Qing’s strategic vision. Managing a multi-billion-dollar industry indeed required some skills. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝘤𝘰𝑚
Tang Kai was also surprised by Tang Qing’s deep understanding of future development in various industries. He felt nothing but happiness. It’s only natural that the younger generation should surpass the older one. It would be wrong if they couldn’t.
Of course.
While chatting, they didn’t forget their Second Aunt and cousin sitting at the back. So, Tang Qing occasionally cracked popular jokes from the future, making the two women giggle. It helped strengthen their relationship, reducing the feeling of unfamiliarity gradually.
Time flew by.
Four hours later.
Nearing six o’clock.
They only arrived back in Qingyan City then.
First, they checked into a room at Liu Qian’s Tianfu Hotel. After freshening up and changing, Tang Qing took them to Li Jianguo’s Seafood Restaurant, rather than dining in Liu Qian’s hotel.
He had sent over the seafood yesterday afternoon and had it stored at the Seafood Restaurant.
Upon seeing these treasures, Li Jianguo, who had had a taste of it, couldn’t help but salivate. However, he dared not help himself to a single piece to satisfy his craving. Tang Qing’s decision to keep it there was a sign of trust, and Li Jianguo couldn’t risk damaging that trust for the sake of some food.
As a result, Li Jianguo spent the night at the restaurant to ensure nothing was missing. He even bought a bunch of snacks and fruits to eat - because the allure of that seafood was too strong. Just looking at it without eating anything would drive a man to madness.
So there they were.
Tang Qing noticed that Li Jianguo seemed a bit dejected. "Uncle Li, what’s wrong? Didn’t sleep well last night?"
"..."
Could Li Jianguo admit it was because of his craving?
