Chapter 986: Chapter 865 Reassurance (Subscribe Please!)
After sending Second Uncle and his party away,
Tang Qing had the fighter take Wang Yan and the others back home.
Returning to the villa.
The villa had been lively for several days, but now that it had returned to its usual tranquility, Tang Qing always felt as if something was missing, feeling somewhat desolate, especially with the rain outside growing heavier, a sense of desolation emerging from the bottom of his heart.
At that time,
a gentle body pressed against Tang Qing from behind.
Lin Jiaxue wrapped her arms around Tang Qing from the back, and he caught her hands, gently rubbing them. Seeing Tang Qing’s low spirits, Lin Jiaxue could only offer comfort to her man this way, telling him she was still there...
A moment later.
"Jiaxue," Tang Qing whispered.
"Hm?"
"Let’s go play the piano."
"Okay."
Of course, Tang Qing’s piano playing wasn’t exactly a ’decent’ activity. Every time they played the piano, if Tang Qing was there, he’d sit behind Lin Jiaxue, and his hands and feet would never stay idle. Sometimes, unable to hold back, the two of them would burst into passionate flame.
Burning fiercely.
...
May 10th.
Wednesday.
After staying at home for two days,
Tang Kai rushed to the Myanmar Economic Zone.
Liu Qian accompanied him, intending to inspect his invested copper cable factory and to escape the heat since Qingyan City was unbearably hot this May, and to make matters worse, there was no rain.
The car drove through the streets of Xin’an Town.
Liu Qian noticed an increasing number of Huaxia people here.
This, Liu Qian perceived not only visually but also economically, as his copper cable factory was receiving an ever-increasing number of Huaxia orders. Even producing at full capacity, they were booked up until three months later.
His copper cable factory expanded again and again.
All output was readily absorbed. Previously, it mainly served the Myanmar Economic Zone and Myanmar, but now, many businesses from Thailand and Huaxia were purchasing their products due to a very simple reason: the price.
Where there is a profit margin, 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝔲𝔟.𝔠𝖔𝖒
there you will find the traces of businessmen.
Due to the Myanmar Bank Group’s bulk purchasing,
the volumes were enormous,
giving them immense bargaining power.
This kept the prices of various mineral raw materials constantly suppressed, leading to low factory prices for copper. With advanced equipment, their comprehensive costs were even lower than in Huaxia, and when Liu Qian saw the cost calculations, he was somewhat astounded.
Competing with Huaxia enterprises on price,
he actually won.
At the same price point, his factory’s products were more competitive than the local products of Huaxia, and the factory’s full capacity operation each day made Liu Qian grin from ear to ear due to the smoothness of business here.
Besides the factory in Xin’an Town,
he also set up a factory in Myanmar, but the imperfection was that in the Myanmar Economic Zone, there were restrictions on the number of copper cable factories. However, Myanmar was not governed by the Myanmar Economic Zone, leading to an increasing number of competitors.
This was troubling for Liu Qian.
How nice it would have been if Myanmar implemented the same industrial allocation system as the Myanmar Economic Zone. But just thinking about it seemed unrealistic; for things to go as he wished, Deputy Leader Ling would have to take Lang Cai’s position, and the Myanmar Bank Group would have to replace the Myanmar Central Bank.
And possess the ability to set economic and industrial policies.
But,
how could that be possible!!!!
...
After arriving at Tang Kai’s villa in Xin’an Town,
Liu Qian went to his factory, aware that Tang Kai was here for important matters. Though he didn’t know the details, he also knew it wasn’t something he could partake in or solve. He just needed to take care of his own affairs.
Soon,
three luxury cars stopped at the villa gate,
and three people got out.
Wei Jun, Tang Liang, Wangsa.
If Tang Kai could receive the news, these three were naturally able to catch some wind of it too. They were all extremely nervous; if Deputy Leader Ling really took back the fruit wine sales rights, it would be a disaster for them.
Not to mention the loss of substantial economic interests,
even their current position couldn’t be guaranteed.
They had no written agreements with Deputy Leader Ling regarding the fruit wine sales rights; it was solely based on Ling’s promise. Just one word from Ling could determine their rise or fall, and their fate; this was no exaggeration.
They had barely sat down,
when Wangsa, frowning, began to relay the information he had.
"Boss Tang, the latest news is that they’ve found Lang Cai and are preparing to pressure Deputy Leader Ling with him to redistribute the fruit wine sales rights. Even if they don’t achieve that goal, they plan to increase the number of distributors, cutting into our sales territories."
In here.
His information was the most well-informed; Wei Jun and Tang Liang were basically fishing in the dark.
"Deputy Leader Ling is in the Special Zone. I have already made an appointment. In half an hour, we will go visit together," Tang Kai said without elaboration, as the situation was developing exactly as Tang Qing had predicted.
The only tension was the unknown risk.
Until the final gavel falls.
Who the things belong to can’t be determined with absolute certainty; one must remain vigilant.
The others had no better ideas, so at this time, they could only try to gauge Ling’s attitude first. Wei Jun and Tang Liang were the most nervous because Wangsa and Tang Kai’s subsidiaries both had vast other industries.
Without the fruit wine,
they were just small shrimps.
...
Half an hour later,
After multiple inspections,
they arrived at Ling’s office.
Everyone was a bit nervous; Ling now held a high position and wielded wealth that was beyond their imagination. Although currently walking a tightrope, there was a possibility of slipping off, and that could potentially drag them down too.
However,
Once on board,
it wasn’t so easy to get off, unless Ling decided to kick them off, but they really didn’t want to leave the ship right now.
"Gentlemen, welcome. Why do you have time to visit me today?" Ling had become much more personable and greeted the four with a smile.
The three turned their eyes towards Tang Kai.
Because they had agreed before coming let Tang Kai act as the spokesperson. Tang Kai’s face was already filled with smiles as he said, "Deputy Leader Ling, we just came to see you and take the opportunity to report the sales situation of the fruit wine to you."
"Oh? What about the sales of the fruit wine?" Ling asked.
Tang Kai delivered his prepared remarks, "Deputy Leader Ling, the sales data for the fruit wine is excellent, and it is always in high demand, much loved by consumers from various countries. We are very thankful that Deputy Leader Ling gave us the opportunity to be distributors.
We have made quite a lot of money, and to express our gratitude to Deputy Leader Ling, we plan to invest a large portion of the profits from fruit wine sales into the economic construction of the Myanmar Economic Zone. And well, we wanted to inform you in advance, to see if there are any good projects, hoping for Deputy Leader Ling’s support."
This was the best sincerity they thought they could offer.
By investing the money earned mainly in the Myanmar Economic Zone, it would give Wangsa much less reason to complain, and when Ling needed to circulate funds, she would have a justified basis to protect their interests.
"It seems your information is quite up-to-date," Ling said with a smile.
"Just a bit, you flatter us," Tang Kai chuckled.
At this point, Ling’s expression grew serious, "Regarding your investment in the Myanmar Economic Zone, I welcome it, but don’t just focus here. There is plenty of need for investment in such a large place as Myanmar."
"What do you mean?" Tang Kai asked cautiously.
"I can promise that the rights to be distributors will remain with you four. However, to keep everything as it is, you need to look further ahead. Only if you treat everything with equal importance, can I completely reject those people’s suggestions," Ling spoke very plainly.
This included Tang Qing’s wishes as well.
Besides plugging Wangsa’s mouth, it was also an opportunity. In the future, the investment return rate in Myanmar could definitely compete with, if not surpass, Huaxia’s, and the earlier the investment, the greater the return.
Ling’s words greatly pleased them.
However, with his preparations, Tang Kai merely let go of his nervousness.
"Deputy Leader Ling, rest assured, we know what to do," Wangsa said happily.
And so,
The meeting, lasting only for ten minutes, ended.
The four achieved their goal and were reassured.
Exiting the building,
Wangsa said excitedly, "I will go back and think about what to invest in right away. Deputy Leader Ling is visiting Naypyidaw on the fifteenth, and before then, we need to show our stance. Manager Wei, Boss Tang, you guys should get ready too."
"Okay."
...
Two days later,
The news of the four making large-scale industrial and infrastructure investments in Myanmar spread.
...
In Naypyidaw,
In Lang Cai’s office,
Upon receiving the news, the corner of his mouth curled into a smug grin, and he murmured with some pride, "Hehe, a direct strategy is useful after all. Merely leaking some information can draw in so much investment, profitable."
As for those families,
Lang Cai didn’t care about their interests at all.
As long as the profits flowed back,
The fruit wine distribution rights
Were no longer essential.
Some celebrate while others worry; it’s an inevitable outcome. These families wanted to use him to gain interests, and Lang Cai had similar thoughts.
