Tang Qing’s attitude.
It was already a significant tilt of resources.
Wang Yan of course knew the last sentence was a joke. Did Tang Qing need to rely on her to make money? Impossible. The numerous gigantic companies under Tang Qing made money at an astonishing rate.
To say they made a fortune every day was not an exaggeration.
Although the box office run of "Civilization: Soul of the Stars" had ended, the peripheral products were still making a crazy amount of money.
Even an obscure mining company.
Could dig out a luminous pearl as tall as a person.
They even placed an item worth more than a billion in the living room, truly reaching a certain level of extravagance.
That statement,
was merely to reduce her gratitude.
He just wanted to help her realize her dream.
...
Next,
the focus of the conversation shifted to Tang Qing’s various businesses.
They were all curious about how Tang Qing started from scratch, no, how he reached his current net worth and status relying on Tang Kai’s family. Tang Qing’s explanation was quite simple.
"Put the right people in the right places."
That was all.
This explanation.
The three celebrities simply didn’t believe it.
If it were that simple, then making money would be too easy. Whether it was Sheng Tang or Comet Group, the investments were substantial, and to still be developing normally without being swallowed by ’someone with intentions’ was not that simple.
However,
since Tang Qing didn’t want to elaborate,
they didn’t ask any further.
They thought it was because of Tang Kai, but Tang Qing was too proud to admit it.
Seeing the strange expressions of the three celebrities looking at him, Tang Kai inwardly sighed. He had almost never exerted any effort in the development of Tang Qing’s career, in fact, it was Tang Qing who had often helped him.
That had allowed him to gain his current status.
From the initial status as the exclusive supplier of jade,
to becoming a fruit wine distributor,
and even later, a construction company and electric cars,
there was a touch of Tang Qing in them all, faint though it was, but indeed present.
From the time he learned that Tang Qing’s friends had helped him obtain his exclusive jade supplier qualification, he knew that all his economic activities in the Myanmar Economic Zone, as well as his good relations with Ling,
were inseparable from Tang Qing’s assistance.
But these were things he could not possibly disclose to outsiders.
In the evening,
around midnight,
it suddenly started to pour in Shanghai.
At Tang Qing’s urging,
several celebrities agreed to stay the night there; in an ordinary place, they would never stay at someone else’s house, unfamiliar places, who knew if the host might have ulterior motives.
But regarding Tang Qing,
they felt a strange trust.
...
The next day,
early in the morning,
the celebrities finished breakfast and, with gifts from Tang Qing, reluctantly left, already planning the next excuse to gather and freeload a meal together, as they were too embarrassed to come alone.
Pu Chaodong and his family also left shortly after.
Wang Yan and her daughter didn’t leave; they weren’t in a rush.
After a night of familiarization, Wei Yiyi, the lively girl, and Qin Shiqi hit it off like confidants, running all over the villa. They had intended to go swimming, but the rain hadn’t stopped, only turning into a drizzle.
At the door,
Tang Qing and his nephew Tang Kai watched the falling raindrops outside.
Uncle also liked watching the rain.
This was something Tang Qing had known for a long time.
After watching for a while,
Tang Kai frowned and said, "Tangtang, I heard something this morning. Someone in Myanmar is interested in the fruit wine distributor rights we hold. I heard they are actively seeking negotiations and operations with Ling. What do you think about this?"
Early in the morning,
Tang Kai had learned this news from a familiar partner.
This partner was the largest jade mining merchant in Myanmar, of course, excluding the Myanmar Economic Zone. It was the actual control area of the Myanmar government outside the special zone.
It was one of the eight Myanmar families in the Myanmar Asia Chamber of Commerce. After joining the Chamber, based on the principle of mutual support, this family started cooperating with Tang Kai, selling him large quantities of raw gemstones and consolidating Tang Kai’s position.
This time,
he had received the news from that person.
It was said that within Myanmar, several major families not part of the Myanmar Asia Chamber of Commerce were actively negotiating with Ling, wanting Ling to revoke the current fruit wine distributor rights and reissue them, preferably to people within Myanmar.
And they were tying it to the national interest.
They felt it was okay to retain the rights held by Wangsa,
but the rights in the hands of Tang Kai, Wei Jun, and Tang Liang, all Chinese, were just making money for Huaxia. These people earned money that would not all stay within Myanmar, essentially harming the interests of Myanmar’s people.
In short,
their reasons were very solid.
Fully justified.
Tang Kai inevitably felt a bit nervous.
Now, the relations between Ling and Myanmar were increasingly close.
The relationship between the Asia Dollar and the Myanmar Kyat was extremely delicate, and Ling had just agreed to the Myanmar government’s second total loan of three trillion Myanmar Kyat. It was clear that Ling’s interests with the Myanmar government were becoming increasingly intertwined.
If Ling decided to "consider the overall situation" and compromise,
there was a very high chance he would retract the fruit wine distributor rights from him. How could Tang Kai not be anxious?
Seeing his uncle looking worried, Tang Qing smiled and said, "Uncle, don’t worry, it’s just a bunch of clowns."
"You knew already?" Tang Kai was startled.
He had only just found out himself. How could Tang Qing’s intelligence be so rapid?
"Yes, I heard," Tang Qing nodded in acknowledgment. News concerning his family was always a priority for the fighters. How could he not know if someone was coveting his uncle’s business?
"Can Ling withstand their pressure?" Tang Kai asked anxiously.
Tang Qing reassured with a laugh, "Hehe, pressure? Uncle, you’re overestimating them. What kind of person is Ling? Throughout his journey, hasn’t he always faced pressure? Lang Cai has always wanted to suppress and weaken Ling’s influence.
But after so long, have you seen Ling lose? Has he been defeated? So, take it easy. If he can withstand pressure almost like that of an entire nation, a few small fries can’t stir a wave."
"..."
Tang Kai turned his head, his eyes wide, looking somewhat unrecognizably at Tang Qing.
Those words.
So arrogant.
It was one thing for Tang Qing to have a clear view of the internal struggles in Myanmar, but to describe those major families as insignificant small fries in his eyes, just how much did Tang Qing know about the situation there?
To be able to regard the upper-class struggles of Myanmar with such ’heroism’ and ’ease.’
Tang Qing could determine the attitude of a country’s deputy leader with just a few words.
It all seemed very odd.
Tang Kai expressed his doubt, "Now Ling is deeply involved in close economic cooperation with Myanmar. I mainly fear that this will become a bargaining chip. The crisis of the Asia Dollar is accumulating more and more, and I fear they will use it to threaten Ling."
"Don’t worry, it’s nothing. They are just playing the same old tricks. Watch, in a few days, they’ll hit a snag and will bring Lang Cai into the picture to pressure Ling with righteousness. But Uncle, don’t forget.
Is Ling someone who easily compromises? Lang Cai has wanted to interfere with the Myanmar Bank Group for a long time to test Ling, and he will definitely support them. But to prevent these people from pushing too far, Ling will surely not agree," Tang Qing analyzed.
"Is... it like that?" Tang Kai asked blankly.
"Relax, Uncle, just enjoy the show," Tang Qing said with ease.
Tang Kai thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then I’m reassured. But recently, I’m getting more and more confused about what Ling is up to. He’s taking out loans, but he’s also not... too compliant. It feels like Myanmar’s situation is entirely enveloped in a riddle."
"Every riddle has a day when it will be solved, and that day shouldn’t be too far off," Tang Qing said lightly, looking at the drizzling rain in the villa’s front yard.
"Do you know something?" Tang Kai heard the implications in Tang Qing’s words.
"I have a guess, but I can’t tell," Tang Qing said with a smile.
Tang Kai shook his head helplessly, "Guessing? You, you’re always so mysterious, telling half and keeping half. Forget it, I won’t pry anymore. I’ll take your word for it, and just focus on doing business.
I’ll be staying for two more days before I head to the Myanmar Economic Zone to inspect the industries and also pay a visit to Deputy Leader Ling, even though I’ll know the outcome. But I can’t be complacent."
"Right." n𝚘𝚟𝚙u𝚋.co𝚖
