After soaking his feet in hot water.
And finishing a delicious dinner.
Dou Jiao was simply too full to move at all.
Clutching her stomach, she sprawled out on the sofa to help digest the food in an utterly unladylike manner.
She only dared to behave this way in front of Tang Qing and the others, since, growing up, her upbringing allowed her to be ’lively’ in her speech but absolutely forbade such lax mannerisms.
Lin Jiaxue and Tang Qing accompanied her, all four of them enjoying the hit show "Super Girls" on Mango Satellite TV. Of this year’s top ten contestants, Tang Qing recognized only a few who became well-known afterwards and frequently visited the entertainment news section to keep track of them.
Some rise while others fall.
Such is the nature of the industry.
Tang Qing didn’t like the atmosphere in the music scene a decade later.
He felt it became too restless, not because of the quality of the singers, but rather the quality of the songs shuffled in the mix.
While the number of new songs remained steady compared to the past, their quality simply couldn’t compare to the classic songs from these years, as well as those from the seventies and eighties from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Insipid songs were all-glamor and little substance.
Listening to them was just embarrassing.
In his previous life, Tang Qing hadn’t listened to new songs for a long time, only finding solace in old songs. Even upon listening to them over and over, they still had a certain appeal. At that moment, he didn’t know whether his aesthetic sensibilities improved or if he had simply gotten old.
Well then.
Tang Qing felt his train of thought had deviated a bit.
While the others watched with interest, Tang Qing lifted a glass of fruit wine and took a sip. Now, he is drinking fruit wine as a general beverage; first, it doesn’t get drunk, second, there’s too much in the basement and leaving it doesn’t make sense, and third, it tastes good.
Till now, the fruit wine has had only one flavor.
A mixed fruit wine.
If ordinary people attempted to make it, they’d wind up with a peculiar flavor, but when brewed with a mixture of the fruits grown in the training area, it resulted in no such random taste. After trying over a hundred versions, Tang Qing finalized this one flavor because it had the best texture.
After selling for so long.
It was natural that the fruit wine needed new varieties, so after Tang Qing tasted it, he selected three additional types, defined by quality not quantity. Two mixed fruit wines, and one was a single variety fruit wine, which was brewed using mango.
This was the best-tasting among the single flavored fruit wines experimented with.
He didn’t understand what principle it was based on, but it was soft and aromatic, with a texture different from ordinary fruit wines, and it was slightly more viscous but didn’t stick to the mouth. Furthermore, they all had the function of detoxification, and it would be officially launched at the beginning of next year.
At that time, the first step would be trying to gauge the market’s response. If it wasn’t favorable, they’d switch it. Anyway, this was dependent on his mood. With the initial fruit wine as the baseline, there were no fears that the new fruit wine wouldn’t be accepted - the worst-case scenario would be a return to the previous flavor.
Speaking of fruit wine.
Tang Qing was reminded of one of Pan Yue’s reasons for coming today. Although he didn’t explicitly say it, Tang Qing surely couldn’t fail to guess.
"Brother Pan, you run the liquor business, right? We’re all on the same side here, so I’ll get my uncle to round up 200 boxes of fruit wine for you each month. Does that work for you?" Tang Qing said to Pan Yue.
Pan Yue, who had been engrossed in the television show, paused.
Once he came to his senses.
His heart soared with joy.
Quickly nodding, he replied with excitement, "That’s more than enough, thanks, I really appreciate it." 200 boxes, how could he be unsatisfied? This was nearly as valuable as gold in the current global market.
Given it was a consumable product, the supply simply couldn’t meet the demand.
200 boxes.
Simply put, it delighted Pan Yue to no end.
Although he also belonged to the second generation of a wealthy family, he wanted to prove himself and show Dou Jiao’s family and elders his achievements. Even though he scored a lucky hit this time, luck too was part of his strength, was it not?
He completely supported Dou Jiao working in Tang Qing’s company.
The strength and power Tang Qing recently displayed couldn’t even be contended with by their family. Even though his second uncle was the second in command of Su Province next to Shanghai, he also felt that he didn’t have the confidence to feel superior against Tang Qing.
Through Dou Jiao, he learned that Tang Qing had business relations with many second-generation figures in Beijing; Chai Ren, Zheng Lin, the Bao Family, the Zhai Family – each one of them was stronger than their household. He was shocked when he first found out about this news.
When coupled with the influential Cui family backing Dou Jiao.
Pan Yue couldn’t even begin to imagine the amount of power that lay behind Tang Qing.
"Why the courtesy, Brother Pan? We’re all friends here. And by the end of the year, the output of fruit wine is going to increase. I’ll increase your supply to 300 boxes at that time, just as long as you don’t think it’s too little." Tang Qing laughed.
Pan Yue immediately shook his head and said, "No, not at all. 200 boxes is already enough, 300 boxes would be even better, hehe..." By the end of it, he didn’t even know if he was laughing or crying. Fruit wine was like a giant sign for him as a liquor distributor.
Profit from the fruit wine sales was secondary.
The main point was the effect it had on the sales of other types of alcohol.
"Look at you, grinning like a fool," Dou Jiao gave her soon-to-be husband a stern look, then turned to Tang Qing with a grateful smile. This little brother was reliable in critical times. She was so lucky back then.
Pan Yue quickly stopped his foolish laughter, yet he couldn’t hide the joy apparent on his face. It was because of this that Tang Qing thought of Pan Yue as genuine. People who can mask their emotions so tightly in an instant, honestly, Tang Qing did not like them.
This husband and wife.
Tang Qing considered it fortunate to have met them.
Meanwhile.
Thinking back to when she first met Tang Qing, Dou Jiao couldn’t help but laugh.
She had been at the front desk of the car dealership, verifying the "casting the net by observing the fish" theory her father had taught her.
Just as she was ’hunting’, Tang Qing, like a fish, had delivered himself up to her. What happened afterwards still made her chuckle—scared by the idiot son of the manager, he quit his job and joined Tang Qing’s Sky Eye Business Consultation Company, which had just started with three hundred thousand RMB in startup funds.
She thought she’d just scrape by with a meal to eat.
Yet in the blink of an eye, over half a year, almost a year, has passed, and the development of Sky Eye has left her in disbelief. Amidst Tang Qing’s continuous heavy investments, it has grown to a scale of over a thousand people.
And Tang Qing, who just a year ago had total assets of only several million RMB.
Now, he’s become one of the prominent young tycoons domestically, with assets managed by Sky Eye exceeding thirty billion RMB, pioneering a new enterprise management model.
Thinking of all this.
It seems like it was just yesterday.
Dou Jiao was lost in recollections.
Looking at Dou Jiao.
Tang Qing suddenly felt that he should consider another thing—that is, the reorganisation of Sky Eye into a group structure. Currently, Sky Eye’s operations have grown too large.
During this period, not only was there the establishment of various branch offices, but also the cooperative consultation relations formed with various academics and scholars, as well as the company’s general external services, such as mergers and acquisitions, auditing, registration, and reorganisation services.
Even enterprise management software.
The content could be described as extremely diverse.
The existing management structure can no longer accommodate the development needs of Sky Eye, therefore, reorganisation is a must. With this thought, Tang Qing made up his mind to immediately tackle this issue.
"Sister Jiao, I’m considering a group reorganisation for Sky Eye, do you have any thoughts on this?" Tang Qing looked up and asked.
His question pulled Dou Jiao back to reality.
Dou Jiao was taken aback.
Talking about work, Dou Jiao’s expression became serious. She nodded and said, "Okay, Sky Eye has already formed a good internal cycle and has hematopoietic capabilities. Now is the time for Sky Eye to welcome major development, group reorganisation is a great thing for Sky Eye."
Tang Qing said: "Hmm, that’s good, let Sky Eye start preparing next week, and present the plan to me as soon as possible. The principle is clear division of responsibilities. You will still be the Group President, and depending on the business, we may increase the number of Vice Presidents as necessary."
"Understood, I will send an email later and list it as Sky Eye’s main work for next week." Dou Jiao readily agreed with joy.
"Hmm, the headquarters will still be that building in Qingyan City. Such a large building is only just over one floor full. Also, since our branch in the United States has been established and we are officially launching our services, plans for branches in various Asian countries should also be included. Let’s start building the framework first." Tang Qing said.
This scaffold doesn’t mean no personnel if there’s no business
Sky Eye’s business is not calculated like this. For example, in Vietnam, if a certain company wants to invest, or wants detailed economic data and legal system services from Vietnam, these are not necessarily or fully available online.
Therefore, groundwork to gather information locally is needed.
In the short term, this might not seem to amount to much.
But at critical moments, that’s when its role is demonstrated. Tang Qing’s enterprises will span the globe in the future, naturally requiring Sky Eye’s influence to be global as well. Such investment is necessary, and he’s not concerned about the returns in the early stage.
In fact, Tang Qing has never expected Sky Eye to make money for him.
"That’s not a problem, but if various Asian countries are included in the branch office plan, the funds might be a bit tight." Dou Jiao said, Sky Eye is currently maintaining a balance of income and expenses, but if the branch offices were to expand on a large scale, there might not be enough money.
The ability of Sky Eye to generate profit is currently not strong, the management software has not yet gone public, to meet the target and operate normally, Tang Qing must invest more funds.
Tang Qing of course knows Sky Eye’s financial situation.
It certainly can’t bear the burden of this expansion.
Tang Qing nodded and said: "I know. I’ll arrange for the money issue. Next week, I will invest another two billion RMB in Sky Eye for branch expansion and early-stage operations."
Hearing this, Dou Jiao laughed and said: "Hehe, I knew our little boss has money. Rest assured, if the management software is accepted by the market, Sky Eye should be able to sustain itself in the future. I don’t believe that our Sky Eye can’t make money."
Dou Jiao, clenching her small fists, was filled with fighting spirit.
The fact that this company has never made money for Tang Qing has always been a frustrating matter for everyone in Sky Eye. Therefore, they faced the profitable projects of the recent period with utmost spirit to maintain the normal operation of Sky Eye.
This time, with Tang Qing’s huge sum of money.
Dou Jiao expected the Sky Eye team to fight again, determined to earn back this money for Tang Qing.
"Good to have the fighting spirit." Tang Qing said satisfyingly.
Having heard the conversation between the two, Pan Yue was not surprised. He was astonished that Tang Qing was rich from the first time they met when Tang Qing invested sixty million in real estate.
It seemed as though Lin Jiaxue had also accepted it. A week ago, Tang Qing had spent a hundred million dollars in the United States. This time it’s only two hundred million RMB, it doesn’t seem like too much. Thinking about this, Lin Jiaxue looked at Tang Qing with eyes full of admiration.
What a competent man she has.
