Chapter 119: Gifting Money
Translator: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales
Tang Xiu had always opened his arms regarding businesses that would make money. In this kind of a materialistic era, money was the measurement of success and failure. Without money, one would be unable to traverse around the world and it would be very difficult to move without it, so he knew perfectly well about the importance of money. For his cultivation, he needed cultivation resources and materials, even though he was chained to his schooling, Tang Xiu had always been thinking about how to make a fortune.
He was a well-educated person and a master in the zither, Go, calligraphy, and paintings!
He could be said as a multi-talented person and was very proficient in all kinds of fields when he lived in the Immortal World for 10,000 years. Drawing an architectural design for him, was easy. And he had the confidence that if he were to draw the architectural design on Earth, his design would absolutely become a landmark building which would make everyone’s eyes shine brightly.
Long Zhengyu’s eyes beamed as he slowly said, “I have two friends from the capital and they have been preparing to invest on building construction in Star City. But the kind of building they want has to have the most magnificent, extremely unique, and an iconic building characteristic. Our Long Family has already decided to cooperate with them and the total investments of our 3 parties is 5 billion yuan. Of course, we will also consider adding more additional funds if there are any problems with the investment funds later. As for the 10% of shares that will be given to you, it won’t change even if we add additional investment funds later.”
5 billion?
Tang Xiu stared blankly as he looked at the earnest and serious expression on Long Zhengyu’s face. It took quite a while before he got his composure back. He was not shocked by the 5 billion yuan of investments, but instead got struck by that 10% shares.
That shares… wasn’t it the same as giving it to him?!
Tang Xiu slowly collected himself as he was at a loss of what to say before he replied, “500 million only to buy a design, you’re really rich even if you have the money to burn, aren’t you?”
Long Zhengyu said with a laugh, “It’s perhaps an Arabian Night to buy a design for 500 million yuans. But they and I think that it’s worth the price. You know that 500 million is not only able to buy the design, but also can buy a friendship and tie you up to our cause! Those 2 friends heard about you from me and they want to be friends with you!”
Friend?
Whilst scoffing and laughing inside but calm on the surface, Tang Xiu then said, “They are so confident that they and I can become friends?”
Long Zhengyu said with a laugh, “There is a saying that the heavens would never forsake people with ideals. Whether or not they can be friends, we’ll find out from our future exchanges. Now, you only need to answer me, are you willing to accept this business?”
“Sure, why wouldn’t I?!”
Tang Xiu’s brows pricked as a resolute and affirmation taste could be seen on his expression.
Long Zhengyu took out a cigarette. But when he was about to lit it, it was as though he suddenly remembered something as he looked at Tang Xiu and asked, “Do you mind if I smoke?”
Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “When will I have to give the construction design to you?”
Long Zhengyu said, “Temporarily, there’s no need to rush it. The initial phase for the project would need 2 months of preparation. Wait for a few days for us to mark the land for the building. I’ll take you over to see it, and then you can start drawing the architectural design. Brother Tang, your task is the key. Don’t let me down.”
“I won’t let you down!” Tang Xiu said lightly.
You received money from others, and you pay it with your own work.
Tang Xiu had a perfectionist nature so he naturally would give his best to design a qualified architectural design blueprint. However, he was also thinking about another problem in his mind, that was, re-planning the Nine Dragons Island. The foreign rich person’s design who developed Nine Dragons Island before, had one big flaw in his opinion since it did not include and properly use the most important feature of 9 spiritual veins.
Nine Dragons Island was a Feng Shui treasured trove of which he absolutely could not develop it wastefully and carelessly.
Long Zhengyu recalled Tang Xiu’s design for the Walled Hill Village as a trace of worry in his heart instantly vanished. Being able to carve a diamond one would not need to shape a porcelain. And since Tang Xiu did not fear to take on this single sale, Long Zhengyu believed that he could meet all the expectations and satisfied him. Even those two guys would perhaps be surprised by then.
“Since you agreed to take care of it, I am assured!”
Long Zhengyu gave the affirmation.
Tang Xiu said, “Are there any other things?”
Long Zhengyu smiled wryly, “Brother Tang has pointed the door out to the guest, eh! Anyway, since you have something to do, I won’t disturb you no longer. Wait for the news from me, once we have chosen the land, I’ll contact you.”
“Alright!” Tang Xiu nodded.
After having sent Long Zhengyu off, Tang Xiu entered the warehouse. He was eager to concoct the Golden Bell Liquid now and strove to improve his cultivation.
This time, the prepared materials were particularly sufficient, either being the fierce beast’s bones and the bought medicinal herbs, he could try concocting a dozen of times.
Inside the warehouse, Tang Xiu walked toward the fine iron pot and poured in water, filling half of the pot. Then, he began to boil the water. To concoct Golden Bell Liquid, a lot of boiled hot water would be needed. The moment the water had been boiled, he respectively put the fierce beasts’ bones, teeth, meats and tendons, and other materials into the water. After the boiled water was nearly half used, he put a few traditional Chinese medicine into the pot.
The fierce beast’s bones were harder than ordinary wild beast bones. And boiling it with boiled water would be very difficult. However, after Tang Xiu had put in a few medicinal herbs, the corrosiveness was greatly strengthened. He also quite regretted that the Poisonous Demon Cane he obtained previously had already been used up, otherwise, added with the Poisonous Demon Cane, the effect would have been better.
