Chapter 909: Chapter 794: Love watching a big scene
Chai Ren was not interested in the so-called exciting drama.
What he cared about was Fuloz’s safety.
And the mineral deposits over there.
Most importantly, he could not involve the Chai Family in any way, even if he had to expose his transaction with Fuloz and shoulder all the consequences alone. It could not affect the Chai Family, and that was Chai Ren’s bottom line.
"That’s good then, Little Tang, just how much are you keeping from me?" Chai Ren asked Tang Qing with a bitter smile, feeling like each time was an unraveling of mysteries by Tang Qing. At that moment, Chai Ren deeply realized the significance of intelligence.
It was confidence.
The confidence to control the situation.
The confidence to remain composed.
The confidence to laugh and play freely.
But he had none of it.
No, that’s not true, domestically he did, as there was hardly anything that could trouble him, but abroad, Chai Ren increasingly felt like a blind man, where his so-called background proved almost useless.
If it were useful,
The previous dangers would not have occurred.
It was just ridiculous, in front of Tang Qing, Chai Ren always felt like an ignorant young man, unaware of the dangers lurking around him.
"Young Master Chai, actually, knowing too much is a kind of trouble too. I’m also troubled, with so many things revolving in my mind every day and so many problems to solve. I’ll just take on this trouble for you," Tang Qing said with a chuckle.
Chai Ren rolled his eyes.
What a thing to say.
Now you make it sound like you’re in the right.
"By the way, what if Moi and his group want to cash out early?" Chai Ren suddenly thought of a problem. Fuloz had agreed not to cash out early for safety reasons.
But now that might not be certain anymore.
"That’s possible, but don’t worry, we’re not short on money. It’s less than a hundred million dollars in total; we can give it, but there’s one thing to be mindful of, we only give it to Moi and Fuloz, not to anyone else.
And it’s only given when we ensure the two are not under someone else’s control or threat, and it must be given in installments. We talk about credit, but we need to talk about credit with the right people," Tang Qing said.
Chai Ren nodded.
The money was to be given because Moi and his group had put in effort.
Others wanting a share,
He wouldn’t agree to it either.
"Understood, I’ll handle it well," Chai Ren said.
...
Returning to his room,
Chai Ren immediately called Chai Guoqiang.
Although most people would be asleep at that time,
Chai Guoqiang was still working.
After listening to Chai Ren’s report, Chai Guoqiang took a deep breath and reflected on the current situation in Congo Gold. If it was true that someone was coveting the President’s position, wanting to kick out both Moi and Waite,
Then the chess game was huge.
Because under the current circumstances, if Moi was in trouble, Waite would be next. With this thought, Chai Guoqiang’s mind flashed through a list of names, but in the end, he still could not determine who was moving the chess pieces behind the scenes.
"Dad, make sure you don’t spread the word," Chai Ren said, remembering Tang Qing’s instructions to maintain secrecy.
Upon hearing this,
Chai Guoqiang snorted coldly, "You brat, as if you need to teach me. However, now that I am aware of this matter, I can’t possibly fail to report it. It concerns our country’s interests and foreign relations in Congo Gold."
Chai Ren became a bit anxious, "Dad, this... Could this be not so good?"
"What’s not good about it? You see, in this kind of situation, Tang Qing knows that you will definitely tell me, and I will definitely report it upward. He’s calculated that we will act with caution, and he’s not worried about anything else.
On the other hand, look at you, all flustered. You really should learn from Tang Qing, to remain calm and analyze the situation before rushing to make decisions. Do you think Tang Qing is dumber than you?" Chai Guoqiang said, frustrated.
Chai Ren was taken aback after listening.
He scratched his head.
It seemed to make some sense.
But looking at it this way, Tang Qing had quite a few tricks up his sleeve.
"Dad, is that so?" Chai Ren chuckled dryly.
"Forget it, I won’t discuss this further with you. Learn more from Tang Qing. He’s ’wise as an idiot’, knows everything, but doesn’t show it. Even our phone conversation is probably within his calculations," Chai Guoqiang said seriously.
"Wow, Tang Qing is that impressive!" Chai Ren said with a bitter smile.
"What do you think?" Chai Guoqiang countered.
"Fine, he’s impressive. All I know is that he’s a university student, the cook at his home makes delicious food, and he’s a very loyal person," Chai Ren quickly adjusted his mindset. Regardless of how clever Tang Qing’s mind was, he was still that sunny, big boy.
"Gotta hang up, I have documents to sign off on," Chai Guoqiang said.
"Rest early, Dad," Chai Ren said.
"Mhm."
...
One o’clock in the morning.
Tang Qing arrived at the Command Room.
"Tang Yi, how’s it going over there?"
Now he came every night to check on the latest developments in Congo Gold. It was rare to find such tumultuous situations in the world, with most of them buried in the archives.
"Reporting to the commander, over there, the project initiated by Congress has entered a fierce debate stage, with strong opposition from the local populace. Moi is hesitating whether to pause the construction projects because, paused or not, it’s a deadlock for him now.
Waite is currently watching from across the shore because whatever is happening has nothing to do with him, and won’t burn him. Meanwhile, both parties are thoroughly investigating who’s behind the planning, but so far, they are clueless.
Bo Man’s plan has entered the mid-phase. In a couple of days, he will begin his final push, completely disrupting the entire aid project to keep the funds on the Government of Democratic Republic of the Congo’s accounts, making them easily accessible for his use.
At the same time, Bo Man will also begin his plan against Waite. If things go as expected, Waite will resist fiercely. But a prepared mind against an unprepared one means that, barring any accidents, Bo Man is most likely to win."
Tang Qing kept nodding.
Passages of records were flashing before him.
If nothing unexpected happened, Bo Man was truly likely to ascend to the presidency of Congo Gold after careful years of planning. However, this didn’t align with Tang Qing’s interests.
Because, in Bo Man’s plan, for the act of selling the mineral deposits at a low price, a portion of the ’added tax’ would be heavily levied afterward. This was equivalent to directly taking a handful out of Tang Qing’s wallet first.
But that wasn’t all.
Bo Man had some ’ideas’.
He wanted to increase ’public’ stocks in all mining companies in the future, not less than twenty percent—a hefty appetite, but Bo Man would definitely succeed because the stocks weren’t just for him.
It was for the entire interest group he represented.
With such ’creative’ ideas.
How could Tang Qing possibly have a good impression of him?
He had no expectations for Bo Man’s rise to power.
After thinking for a while,
Tang Qing lifted his head and smiled faintly.
The bystander loves a big scene, and Bo Man wants to win, but he doesn’t allow it. However, during Bo Man’s complacent period, Tang Qing didn’t mind mixing his own interest demands. This was all part of his early planning.
"Tang Yi, pour some oil on their flame, slowly. Let’s begin." Tang Qing commanded.
