Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 1041: Cooperation of the Six Families
As Tang Wei took Tian Xiaomeng away, Tang Xiu came to the backyard alone. He met some acquaintances on the way here, such as the patriarch of the Bai Family in Guangyang Province, the patriarch of the Huang Family from Fukang Province, and some familiar faces he knew in the business community. Of course, there was also someone that interested him, who was his father-in-law, Mu Jianhua.
After greeting them and exchanging pleasantries, Tang Xiu came to the main hall and saw his grandfather, Tang Guosheng, accompany some old men. He came and greeted. “Everything has been settled, Grandpa.”
“It's cool. I heard from Duanmu Lin that your appearance is also great this time, Son, ” Tang Guosheng said happily. “By the way, come here. I'll introduce you to these elders .. ”
Chu Heng, patriarch of the Chu Family. Song Gang, the head of the Song Family. Mu Hongtao, the patriarch of the Mu Family. Bai Yichen, the patriarch of the Bai Family. And lastly, Li Shirong, the head of the Li Family.
After Tang Xiu greeted each one of them, he then smilingly said, “Grandfather, please talk between you first. I haven't greeted Grandma, and I have to go out to greet the guests as well. ”
“You are exempt from receiving guests, Xiuer. Yunpeng and Yunqing were enough to handle it. “Tang Guosheng waved and said,” By the way, we have some issues to discuss here, and the elders want to talk to you as well. ”
After hearing this, Tang Xiu pulled out a bench and sat down next to Tang Guosheng. Then, he curiously asked, “What's the problem?”
Tang Guosheng exchanged glances with the other elders and said, “There was a big project planned in the country recently, which was the opening and development of Mang City in the western region. This is a huge project with total investment exceeding 100 billion yuan — and it could exceed hundreds of billions of yuan if there is an unexpected event. No matter how good the national policy may be, the country cannot afford to buy the necessary funds. Therefore, it has been decided that a national tender for it will be implemented. We have just discussed it and we hope to get the right to develop it. ”
“But there's something I want to know first, Grandpa.” Tang Xiu furrowed his brows and asked, “What makes Mang City worth developing?”
“There are three aspects.” Tang Guosheng began to explain, “First, the geographical position of Mang City is very special — it is at the intersection point of three Western provinces. If it can be turned into a real metropolitan city, the country will invest some funds to establish a road connection that fully connects it with the three provinces. Second, there will definitely be important tourist areas in the country later on because the place itself has an excellent natural environment with a large number of animal species protected by the country. Therefore, it will attract many domestic and foreign tourists, which in itself is worthy of development. And the third .. ”
Tang Guosheng stopped explaining as he got to that point.
Wearing an inquisitive gaze, Tang Xiu felt that the first two reasons were somehow somewhat forced. After all, for investment projects that exceed 100 billion yuan or even hundreds of billions, these two reasons are far from enough. After thinking about it, he asked, “What's the third reason?”
“That's because of mineral deposits,” said Tang Guosheng. “Large copper deposits were recently discovered in a mountain near Mang City. The state will soon build a mine to exploit the copper deposits there. At that time, the number of inhabitants would increase substantially, and it would qualify to become a major city. ”
“Copper mine?”
A shocked expression appeared on Tang Xiu's face. If the mineral deposits were really that big, mining did require a large number of workers, and they would even move their families there, he said, while the development of the city will also attract more people to settle there.
Suddenly, Tang Xiu noticed another problem as he looked up and asked, “May I know the current participant or the project leader of this Mang City?”
Tang Guosheng exchanged glances with the other five old men and they all nodded with smiles on their faces. The first one then laughed and smiled. “This Mu Family, Mu Xinfeng.”
Tang Xiu instantly understood as he looked at Mu Hongtao, the patriarch of the Mu Family. He finally understood why Mu Hongtao was qualified to sit here today. It should be noted that this family is not equivalent to Chus, Song, Bais, or Lis. Frankly, the Mu Family paled in comparison to each of these families.
“Investment for this project is rather large, and serious loss problems will definitely arise if there is a management error. However, since the six great families have agreed to cooperate, I think we can avoid this situation. However, there are two other issues that I am most concerned about. But if we can handle it, we can expect the project to run smoothly. ”
“Can you tell us what those two problems are, Tang Xiu?” Ask Mu Hongtao.
“First, who will be the union leader of the six great families? And how much money can six families provide? ”Tang Xiu said with a stern face.
“Principal partnership?”
Tang Guosheng and the other five elders exchanged disappointed looks. After a long time, Mu Hongtao then broke the ice. “But I won't have any problems if the Tang Family takes the lead position,”
The other four Family patriarchs thought for a moment and then nodded approvingly one after another. Tangs have become famous recently and will soon become the most powerful family in all of China. It was indeed acceptable to let the Tang Family take the lead.
A satisfied look flashed across Tang Guosheng's narrowed eyes. He then stretched out his hand and chuckled. “That boy, Tang Dong, has accumulated quite a lot of experience after so many years, so he should be able to lead the matter. However, I am sure everyone understands the state of my Tang Family — we have limited funds at the moment. ”
“Mus can provide 20 billion yuan in a month. More than that, I fear it will affect our other business, ” Mu Hongtao said.
“It's the same with us!” Added Bai Yichen.
“Mine too!” Song Gang, the patriarch of the Song Family.
“I agree with others!” Said Li Shirong, the patriarch of the Li Family, adding with a smile.
“Masing each of the five families has spent 20 billion yuan, so the total is 100 billion. But since our Tang Family took the lead of this project, then we will provide 40 billion yuan, which adds up to 140 billion. This figure may seem like a lot, but developing a city will require more than that. However, we will also have a sustainable income once the development is done, so the following construction plans must be guaranteed. If the final stage of development is not funded, each family can add additional funds to adjust the proportion of profit sharing. Grandpa, I'll spend 40 billion yuan. I'll tell someone to transfer the money to you later. ”
Tang Guosheng smiled with satisfaction and nodded. “Transfer to Tang Dong directly. But he will have the authority to deal with Mang City's investments. ”
“Understood!” Tang Xiu replied with a nod.
The other five patriarchs of the family were shocked. They never thought that Tang Xiu could actually provide 40 billion yuan. Everyone knew that Tang Xiu’s Magnificent Tang Corporation had been established for less than two years. Coupled with its rapid development and growth, the company has burned its capital, especially with the construction of its industrial park in Shanghai.
40 billion! That is the amount each family can provide, but it will also slightly affect their cash flow. If they had to spend more capital than that, they might even break.
At this moment, it was only then that they realized why Tang Guosheng decided to wait until Tang Xiu arrived to discuss the matter of Mang City. They now understood why Tang Xiu could participate in this matter. It was because Tang Xiu had capital and wealth!
Mu Hongtao smirked saying, “Well, it looks like my grandson has found a man with a good future! Tang Xiu, come visit my family more if you have time later. You and Wanying are not too young anymore, and I think you should plan your wedding date. Although it's also fine if you guys get engaged first if you think it's too early! ”
“Really old fox!”
The other ancestors cursed inside. Mu Wanying was famous as the First Belle in the capital and they had heard of it as well. For her being Tang Xiu's lover made them rather envious. They secretly sighed inwardly why they did not have granddaughters who could be the First Belle of Beijing — otherwise, they could marry her to the Tang Family, or better, making Tang Xiu their granddaughter's husband.
Tang Xiu did not want to participate in the discussion about the following steps of the content and details of the cooperation. Although Tang Guosheng usually valued his opinion, he had no problems on the matter. It had been a few days after he left the Island of the Nine Dragons. Although Mo Awu renewed it daily, he still wanted to rush back to the Island of the Nine Dragons to resolve the matter there as quickly as possible.
However, he also feared that he would most likely become a poor person after taking 40 billion yuan. Although his income had been very good recently, it was either from Kang Xia who sent him the profits from the New Metro of Star City, or the money he had earned from selling medicinal pills, all the money he had made previously added together could only reach 40 billion yuan .
After leaving, Tang Xiu turned to the side room and saw a group of women there laughing and joking around his grandmother, Qin Changyue. A smile suddenly appeared on his face as he greeted some familiar elders and nodded to the unknown. Then, his eyes were fixed on Mu Wanying.
“Tang Xiu!” Mu Wanying exclaimed with a happy and surprised face as soon as he saw her.
“Any interesting thing you talked about with Grandma?” Tang Xiu asked with a smile.
A glint of embarrassment flashed across Mu Wanying's eyes as he whispered, “I didn't say anything and just accompanied Grandma to chat about the family's daily life, you know.”
“Hehehe, you easily feel embarrassed, girl Wanying.” Qin Changyue said with a smile, “I just told him that you and Wanying are no longer that young, Xiuer! It's time for both of you to consider marriage. I just talked to your mom about it. Even if you still have to complete your studies, it's OK to at least get married first, isn't it? Moreover, this old lady could not wait to hold onto her great-grandson. ”
Tang Xiu let out some dry laughter and nonchalantly replied, “I'll give you a letter of approval for the engagement later, Grandma. But well, there are things that should still tend to be out there, so I'll take Wanying first. Please continue your chat, Grandma. ”
How could Qin Changyune not be able to see Tang Xiu being careless? He shook his head and spoke to Su Lingyun nearby with a smile, “Lingyun! You have to convince Xiuer that he is no longer a young boy, understand? Don't tell me you don't want to hug your fat granddaughter! ”
“I know that, Mom. That's for sure, ” replied Su Lingyun with a smile.
After removing Mu Wanying from the wing room, then Tang Xiu let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “Don't listen to the elders' nonsense, understand? Besides, we have too many things at the moment, so the wedding has to wait. But if they keep pushing her, let's find time to get engaged and do a formal ceremony first. What do you think?”
“Yeah, I'll just listen to you about it.” Mu Wanying laughed.
