Seeing Bao Kaiyu and Zhai Zhihua agreed, Chai Ren finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally brought Tang Qing into his ’circle of interests’, more than just the previous ’acquaintanceship’.
As long as he maintained a good relationship with Tang Qing, he believed that his future gains would be significant.
Chai Ren happily said, "Good, since everyone has no problem with equity distribution and contribution ratio, let’s get this done as soon as possible. You all should know, in Beijing, there are many people in the real estate business and the backgrounds are quite complex.
Although each of our families is strong, it is not easy to take a piece of the pie in this field. However, at least we have a head start. The urban area in Beijing is expanding outward, and soon, the suburbs will become urban areas. These pieces have already claimed by many people, but I believe that with our joint efforts, everything will not be a problem."
He paused, Chai Ren’s ’nonsense’ was not really aimed at Bao Kaiyu and Zhai Zhihua, but for Tang Qing, mainly to explain to him how deep the waters are in Beijing’s real estate industry, and the great difficulty for him not to resent the extra 200 million RMB).
Although Chai Ren thought Tang Qing was reasonable and should understand, he still needed to make it clear.
Seeing Tang Qing nodding in agreement, Chai Ren also felt relieved. His rambling was not in vain.
Chai Ren continued, "We will start establishing the company in the next few days, I will take care of the company’s procedures, I’ll have it done within three days. However, your contributions do not need to be in place within three days. You need to have them in by the end of this month. You should have a little over twenty days. I have set my sights on three plots of land, all old factories in Beijing with large areas. I will be responsible for contacting and purchasing the lands."
As for Zhai Zhihua, there is no rush for the loan, let’s talk about it after we get these lands. I will find new lands to purchase with a loan then. The 1 billion RMB should be enough to get these three plots of land. Then we can use them as collateral to get a loan to buy new land."
After hearing Chai Ren’s words.
Everyone nodded, showing their agreement.
Then, the people discussed the company’s name. Each person suggested a name, and after voting, Chai Ren’s ’Jinghua Sky Real Estate’ received the highest number of votes and was unanimously passed.
Subsequently.
They discussed company details, who would manage it, how to supervise, dividend rules and so on.
In the end, at Chai Ren’s suggestion, Tang Qing invited the Sky Eye to join them as a third-party financial governance company. Within their range of cooperation, it was responsible for the four shareholders of ’Beijing Jinghua Real Estate.’ The real estate company would pay appropriate remuneration to ’Sky Eye’.
Great, now Sky Eye had to recruit more people, Tang Qing reckoned Dou Jiao would call him to nag again soon.
Seeing that everything had been discussed.
It was getting late so Bao Kaiyu and Zhai Zhihua hurried home. They were both married men now, unlike Chai Ren, well, he would be married in another two months’ time. Now these two seldom stay out late.
Straightforwardly.
When they were younger, was there any fun they hadn’t had? Now they were nearly thirty, not young men with an explosive hormone rush, they didn’t have much interest in going around looking for excitement everywhere.
Although they still had a bit of a playful heart, thinking of their children at home who needed assistance with homework, and their adorable daughters crying out to see their dads, they were immediately transformed into father figures.
"Chai, good luck! By this time next year, I’ll be ready to come and celebrate the baby’s full month." Chai Ren was also going home tonight and not staying here, so Tang Qing walked with him to his car.
"Well, I can’t guarantee that, there’s no way I’ll have a kid without getting married." Chai Ren said with a sigh. Adding up gestation and the baby’s first full month, that would be eleven months, meaning Zhan Xi would have to get pregnant the month before the wedding.
The difficulty of this seemed hellish, Chai Ren didn’t even dare to think about it. Because damned, he and Zhan Xi hadn’t even done anything yet. Thinking about it made him feel frustrated. There was nothing he could do about it. On the one hand, he was as busy as a dog with the family’s mission, running around everywhere, with so many different things to think about, there was little time for romance. Second, he was not in a hurry, it was not like he hadn’t experienced women; there was no rush.
"There’s nothing impossible. Plan carefully." Tang Qing teased.
"I’ll do my best. By the way, how much do you plan to put in the red envelope." Chai Ren turned to the matter of red envelopes with a smug look.
"We’re such good friends, talking about money is so vulgar." Tang Qing joked.
"...Not talking about money, and you’re planning to scrounge a meal, huh?" Chai Ren was very cooperative, demanding ’angrily’.
"Yes, we’re all fathers now, and on such a happy day, can’t we even spare a meal?" Tang Qing said as a matter of course.
"Fine fine fine. Choose your friends wisely. You’d better go home now, be careful ’safe’, otherwise, who knows whose baby might arrive first." As they got to his car, Chai Ren made a final retort.
However.
Chai Ren’s retaliation was unkind.
"...End of friendship, goodbye."
Having said this.
Tang Qing turned around and walked away.
He sighed.
’Sigh.’
Why hurt each other like this.
"Hahaha... See you tomorrow." Chai Ren laughed loudly, having won back a round and was in great spirits.
He really liked chatting with Tang Qing in this kind of atmosphere.
After watching Tang Qing disappeared at the entrance of ’Autumn Palace’.
Chai Ren went home in his car.
One hour later.
Chai Ren returned home.
His home was situated in a heavily guarded mansion, with extremely stringent security measures inside and outside, including surveillance cameras, patrols, police dogs. It operated twenty-four hours a day, indicating that it was home to critical individuals.
Seeing the lit study, Chai Ren knew that his father, Chai Guoqiang, was waiting for him.
He entered.
He walked into the study and sat down in the chair opposite Chai Guoqiang.
"Is it done?" asked Chai Guoqiang carelessly, still reading his document without looking up.
"Done. Tang Qing has invested four hundred million RMB, acquiring a twenty-five percent stake in the real estate company," Chai Ren replied.
"Four hundred million? Does he have so much spare money?" Chai Guoqiang looked up in surprise.
Chai Ren nodded: "Yes, he said his friend was helping him invest in futures, gold and exchange rates among other things, with a profit every month. He can earn quite a bit of money. He even mentioned that he would have another three hundred million in a week. Apparently, this would be from the investment gains his friend helped him secure."
"Three hundred million a month, what do you think?" Chai Guoqiang asked.
"I...think it’s a lot," Chai Ren bitterly smiled. Despite not necessarily having three hundred million RMB each month, he reasoned that it shouldn’t be a problem to have eight to ten billion throughout a year. Otherwise, Tang Qing would not be able to start up various companies with that vast amount of money.
Chai Guoqiang’s face darkened.
"No one asked you whether the money was a lot or not, but whether that business is legal or not, or how it earned its profits. Do you really believe the money was earned from futures and gold?" Chai Guoqiang gave Chai Ren a sharp look.
"I have some doubts, but there is no trace indicating the source of Tang Qing’s money," said Chai Ren, who had already looked into Tang Qing’s bank accounts. However, he only found a few hundred thousand RMB in Tang Qing’s name and several hundred million in the accounts of Sheng Tang Corporation and its various subsidiaries. Those were operation funds, with only tens of millions that Tang Qing could effectively use.
As for the four hundred million promised by Tang Qing, he had no clue.
Presumably, it was hidden.
"A strange person, a strange incident." Chai Guoqiang said deep in thought.
Chai Ren quickly agreed, "Indeed, both Tang Qing’s friend and Tang Qing himself seem mysterious. Sometimes, Tang Qing does not appear to be a high school student, but can act quite naive and adorable."
"Tang Qing... Tang Qing... he must know something," Chai Guoqiang removed his reading glasses, tapping lightly on the table with them and making a ’dong dong’ noise.
"What might he know?" Chai Ren curiously asked.
"About his friend, the ’Black Prison’ incident in Africa, and even that unknown website - ’Tongtian’," Chai Guoqiang raised his head and looked into Chai Ren’s eyes as he said this.
"Tongtian? What’s going on with this website?" Chai Ren asked. He remembered logging in before, but he didn’t notice anything unusual, so he had hardly touched it for a long time. Hence, he was bewildered when Chai Guoqiang mentioned it.
With a shake of his head, Chai Guoqiang sighed, "You, indeed, don’t pay much attention to your partners. Didn’t I ask for the account of ’Tongtian’ last time? Do you remember what business it has inside?"
"I remember, it seems to be currency exchange, intelligence consulting, and task publishing. What’s up? It’s really useful. I just don’t have much need for it," after pondering for a moment, Chai Ren answered.
Chai Guoqiang chuckled, "Ha...ha... indeed, your sources of intelligence are too narrow. In your view, it may not be very useful, but you don’t know what it’s been up to recently."
"Oh? What has it done?" Chai Ren asked timely.
Chai Guoqiang slowly stated, "I don’t know about the currency exchange; I’ve never tried it. I did try the intelligence consulting, which seems to provide some not-so-important information, quite useful for ordinary people. But that third feature, the task publishing, has caused quite some trouble.
Did you know that, during this time, ’Tongtian’ has accepted a large amount of debt collection tasks? Even though they are not all under the name of Tongtian, the methods are the same – forcing people to repay money quickly and never failing."
"A debt collection company?" Chai Ren was surprised. Could task publishing be applied like this?
"You could say that. They take a commission of fifty percent for debt collection. As far as I know, just last month, their income must not be less than one billion RMB, and probably much more," Chai Guoqiang continued to explain.
"That’s a lot? How do they collect debts, through threats?" Chai Ren exclaimed.
"Smart." Chai Guoqiang ironically replied. In essence, he wanted to say: Isn’t that obvious? If you negotiate nicely with a debtor, who would pay back the money?
"Isn’t this essentially robbery?" Chai Ren vaguely grasped the ’key point’.
On hearing this, Chai Guoqiang shook his head, "No, I quite admire them, because their debt collection tasks aren’t indiscriminate. They have principles. For example, they don’t take on unjust tasks and ignore debts below ten million RMB. If the amount owed by the debtor is more than the debtor’s total debt, they will even leave some living expenses for the person being pursued.
These facts were told to me by an old friend in Australia. Just from the debt he recovered between his friend and another person, ’Tongtian’ would have earned a commission close to three hundred million RMB. They do not publish tasks via the website; they have local agents who contact the bosses. They find their clients through the agents.
To put it simply, what I understand by now might just be the tip of the iceberg for ’Tongtian’. I don’t know the relationship between ’Tongtian’ and ’Black Prison’, or whether ’Tongtian’ has other types of tasks. But with Tang Qing, a high school student, treating power as equals and not showing the slightest fear towards you, three aspects can be ascertained.
First, Tang Qing knows a lot of things that he hasn’t told us about.
Second, the power of his friend is formidable, to the point where they are not afraid of our family.
Third, he and his friend have an excellent relationship, so good that they wouldn’t hesitate to take action against any of us.
These three points might be the source of Tang Qing’s confidence."
