Soon enough,
the sisters, having picked out their swimsuits, rushed downstairs.
They arrived at the edge of the swimming pool.
"Plop."
An elegant diving posture.
Tang Nian’er had entered the water.
Qin Shiqi and her sister stood on the shore.
"Jiaxue sister, is the water... deep?"
Qin Shiyu looked at the swimming pool with some trepidation, she was a complete novice at swimming and had never swum before, and Qin Shiqi was the same, even with her bolder nature, she didn’t dare to emulate Tang Nian’er’s carefree style.
"This is the deep-water area, two meters deep. Follow me to the other side; over there it’s shallow, just one meter twenty, suitable for you to learn swimming," Lin Jiaxue took on the role of a swimming instructor.
Hearing that it was two meters deep,
the two sisters unconsciously took a small step back, their movements uniform, their expressions similar, which made Lin Jiaxue laugh.
"Come this way,"
Lin Jiaxue led them to the shallow end of the pool.
"Put on the teaching video," she said.
"Yes."
A female Fighter beside them turned on the massive wall-like TV next to the swimming pool, fiddled with it for a moment, and a swimming tutorial video started playing. That’s how Lin Jiaxue had learned as well.
If Tang Qing were teaching,
she wouldn’t have been able to concentrate on learning; Tang Qing’s hands were always restless.
"Jiaxue sister, the person in the video swims so effortlessly, why frog style and not freestyle?" Watching Tang Nian’er do the freestyle in the water, while the TV showed the breaststroke, Qin Shiqi expressed her confusion.
"Freestyle requires upper body strength. For girls, unless they train frequently, it’s best to start with the breaststroke. It’s easier to learn and relatively effortless. You can try it later," Lin Jiaxue explained.
"Oh."
Five minutes later,
"I think I’ve got it," Qin Shiqi felt that the few movements were very simple.
"Then go ahead and try, be careful," Lin Jiaxue said.
No sooner had she spoken,
than Qin Shiqi chose to dive in just like Tang Nian’er had.
"Plop."
She plunged in with a splash.
And then,
"Pfft... cough cough... cough cough... I almost choked to death, Jiaxue sister, I just swallowed a mouthful of water, will there be a problem?"
Qin Shiqi had met with a little setback.
Her face was flushed from coughing.
That made Qin Shiyu, who was standing on the side, cover her mouth and snicker.
Lin Jiaxue chuckled before explaining, "It’s all right, the water quality here is quite good, reaching drinking standards. When learning to swim, it’s inevitable to swallow a bit of water. Take it slow, Shiyu, you go down too, I’ll help you learn."
Afterward, Qin Shiyu also jumped in the water, with Lin Jiaxue supporting her waist, and they started connecting the movements in the water, while Tang Nian’er stopped showing off her solo skills to assist Qin Shiqi, coaching her through the motions.
Half an hour later,
Both of them had good talent.
The teacher was also diligent.
They finally learned how to breaststroke and tread water, coordinating their arms and legs.
The movements were not quite standard, but being able to move was what counted.
With swimming, once you learn to breathe properly, the other movements will gradually come with practice. What’s most feared is breathing incorrectly; get a snootful of water, and it’s sure to be... quite invigorating.
After lunch,
The girls all went for a nap.
Today was the first day.
Tang Qing had no plans to go out.
In the afternoon, he stayed in the villa, chatting with his second uncle and watching TV while the girls, each with their own projects, woke up from their nap. Lin Jiaxue, as the head of the group, led a few followers around the villa, wandering everywhere.
"Brother, before we leave, draw me a full-length portrait as tall as a person. You have to make me look gorgeous."
"I want one too," another chimed in.
"Bro, this fridge is so big, wow, it’s the size of an entire wall."
"Brother, this wooden carving of Sun Wukong is so cute, can you give it to me?"
"..."
Ever since Qin Shiqi requested that painting, Tang Qing’s ears had not had a moment’s rest. Laughter and cheerful voices from the sisters could be heard everywhere. Watching the figures darting around the villa, Lin Jiaxue was by their side introducing various things.
Tang Qing felt very content.
One thought remained in his mind,
It’s wonderful having you all around.
...
At four-thirty in the afternoon,
Tang Qing received a phone call.
"Director Tang, where is your equipment? From today, the gymnasium are starting their setup, and we’re just waiting for your rice to hit the pot," came the voice of Wang Fei from the phone.
"No need to rush, the installation and tuning of the equipment will be completed in half a day at most. It will arrive by the morning of the 4th; it won’t delay anything," Tang Qing said with a laugh, referring to the free commercial performances before the New Year, for which he had agreed to lend his sound equipment to several mega celebrities.
This concert.
The princess couldn’t stop thinking about the sound quality from the last time.
The concert hadn’t even been planned at all originally.
But last month, after being provoked by Liu, the "Uranus", in the Penguin group, she agreed on the spot and hurriedly prepared for this concert. At the time, Tang Qing swore that there would be absolutely no problems with the equipment.
Tang Qing also planned to use this opportunity to market this audio equipment service, charging according to the size of the venue. He believed that, in no time, audiences who had experienced perfect sound quality would never accept the noisy environment of the past.
Just this set of equipment,
could bring in profits of several billion RMB a year, breaking ten billion wouldn’t be a difficult task. This was because other than concerts, there were various performances, big and small all over the place, official, or local, or sports events, large-scale activities, and so on.
It was extremely useful.
Although even if he earned ten or so billion RMB a year, it wouldn’t be of much use.
But it was still money.
The key was influence. Every celebrity in the world who wanted to hold a concert would have to go through his company. With that, one can only imagine to what extent Comet Film and Television’s influence in the music industry would grow.
"Really?" the princess confirmed.
Tang Qing laughed, "Of course, why would I lie to you? This is intelligent equipment that can be remotely controlled to adjust the direction, volume, and other parameters. Half a day is more than enough to complete the setup. Just you wait and see."
Reassured, the princess sighed in relief, "That’s great, but Director Tang, are you really not going to sing a song? Even a duet with me would be fine. You would definitely gain a huge following of loyal fans."
Besides being obsessed with Tang Qing’s equipment, she also had a fresh memory of Tang Qing’s singing voice.
If Tang Qing showed up to sing,
her concert would surely gain an extra highlight.
"Sister Fei, please spare me. I like listening to songs from the audience. Besides, I’m not involved in the singing industry or the entertainment industry. I hope to walk down the street without being recognized by anyone. What do I need fans for?" Tang Qing continuously shook his head.
Standing under the spotlight,
besides brightness, there are also people’s shadows.
Black and white, right and wrong, all will follow closely, like shadows accompanying a person.
The princess also gave up, saying, "Okay, then. Call me when you get to the big stage. If I don’t answer, I will instruct my assistant to let you in. How many seats do you need? I’ll reserve them for you."
Tang Qing thought for a moment and said, "Let me think, my uncle and a few of my younger sisters came today, so eight seats in total. Yes, eight seats should be fine. Is that okay?"
In such a venue,
the fighters would definitely mix in beforehand,
to check the security from all sides and to protect close by, there was no need to reserve seats for the bodyguard fighters.
"Director Tang Kai is coming too?" the princess asked in surprise.
Last time in Qingyan City, 𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝒸𝓸𝓶
the princess had seen Tang Kai when she was leaving. Both this uncle and nephew were not simple characters. It was also because of the help at the last annual meeting that she gained priority to purchase fruit wine and a quota much larger than the average tycoon.
She was already hooked on fruit wine.
All other alcoholic drinks had long lost her interest.
"Yes."
The princess happily said, "Great, I’ll reserve eight seats for you. After it ends, we can have dinner together. I heard from Zheng that your cook is exceptional, and I definitely want to try it."
"..." Tang Qing felt like he was at a loss.
"That’s settled then... Goodbye..." The word goodbye was drawn out very long.
"Beep beep beep..."
The person on the other end hung up the phone.
Well,
it seemed he was about to gain another freeloader. It looked like it was time to think of a way to charge for meals or something. Tang Qing pondered this in his mind.
"Is it about the concert?" Tang Kai asked from the side.
Tang Qing nodded, "Yes, I promised her last time that I would let her use the audio equipment for free a few times."
"Is that a loss?" Tang Kai asked with concern.
Tang Qing shook his head mirthfully, "In their view, based on my future pricing standards, I might have lost out. But behind closed doors, I can only say that I’ve made a profit, and a big one at that."
Hearing this, Tang Kai chuckled, "Haha, that’s good. In business, favours and deals can intersect, but you must stay vigilant and not be overly generous. However, in the end, you have to strive for a win-win situation."
"Don’t worry, Uncle, I understand."
Remembering something, Tang Kai added, "Oh, I looked at the electric car designs last night. They’re quite good. I’ve told the company to adopt them as they are, as the final product design. Now we’re applying for the design patent, and production will start soon."
"As long as it works," Tang Qing said with a hint of pride.
"Tangtang, since when did you know how to design machinery?" Tang Kai asked in amazement.
Tang Qing casually replied, "It’s called genius. If it were cars, I might not have managed, but electric vehicles are different. Just take the functional components—how hard could it be?"
"That’s true. With our electric cars selling like hotcakes in Huaxia, many small and large companies have entered this market. Because the threshold is low, a fiercely competitive future can be expected. I have to pursue a diverse design approach.
However, doing business in the Myanmar Economic Zone is easier. There is a quantity limit on every factory; not one more is allowed. My electric cars are selling exceptionally well there, and we have captured a significant market share in Myanmar.
It’s only outside the Myanmar Economic Zone, the electrical system in Myanmar itself is still not perfect. Insufficient power supply has prevented the market from fully activating. People there are still used to motorcycles," Tang Kai said, showing a touch of disappointment.
Selling electric cars in a place lacking in electricity but not in money
really is a very vexing issue.
Tang Qing replied, "Aren’t they building various power plants in abundance over there? The electricity problems will be solved soon. Compared to motorcycles, electric cars have clear advantages—easy to learn, low cost, and lightweight. They are definitely the way of the future."
This point
has been proven by the future market.
