Scarblade Qiang exclaimed, “One million yuan annual salary? Also with 10% shares? How much money will you invest actually?”
“I don’t know how much, but I don’t think I can allocate much for the early investment.” Tang Xiu said.
At the side, Miao Wentang said with a confused expression, “Brother Tang, we’ve transferred one billion to you before and 1.5 billion just now. How come you say you don’t have much money? Besides, listening to your talk just now, you seem to be preparing to settle up a new business. What type of business is it?”
“Well, it’s winemaking. I want to build winery.” Tang Xiu said calmly.
Scarblade Qiang was shocked as he watched Tang Xiu and Miao Wentang with a look of disbelief. One billion plus 1.5 billion was 2.5 billion. Such amount was still not enough to be considered a lot?
Looking at Scarblade Qiang’s expression, Tang Xiu understood what he had in mind as he said lightly, “Anyway, I have a 2.5 billion yuan debt, while I also have just started my company and am in need of additional investment. So I won’t be able to invest much funds for the early phase of building a winery. But at least, it would be around 100 million yuan.”
“Hiss…”
Scarblade Qiang sucked in cold air upon hearing this.
An early investment of 100 million was just only a small investment? How big the winery this Boss wanted to build, and how large this liquor business he really wanted?
Miao Wentang looked at Tang Xiu with a strange expression and probed, “Brother Tang, if you’re really short on money, I’ll think of a way. Gimme a couple of days so I can gather several hundred million yuan. Anyways, how about I buy some of the shares from you? I won’t meddle with the management, and will only get my dividends from the shares. How about it?”
Shao Mingzhen quickly said, “I’ll also prepare one hundred million to buy shares.”
Scarblade Qiang’s body was trembling. He was thinking about the promise Tang Xiu gave him about 10% of the shares. Such an amount was enough for him to have a well-off life for good. 10% of 100 million was 10 million, and if it was added with several hundred million again, then he would become a millionaire quickly.
This… could this be what the Heavens say that good people will have good retribution?
However, the reply from Tang Xiu astounded him.
“Both of you, you can always contact me at any time if there are other adventures in the future. But you can forget about things related to business. I’m a businessman myself.”
Looking at each other with dismay, Miao Wentang and Shao Mingzhen could only smile wryly. They had a hunch that the winery Tang Xiu was planning to build was definitely not simple. He was highly likely to have many means that could make this liquor business bigger and great. And such a kind of opportunity apparently had just slipped away from them.
Tang Xiu looked at Scarblade Qiang and said, “Anyways, what’s your name? I don’t know how I should address you!”
Scarblade Qiang quickly said, “Boss, I’m called Dai Qiang. But you can also call me Scarblade Qiang or Little Qiang if you want.”
Tang Xiu casually replied, “Since people in your circle have been calling you Scarblade Qiang when you were socializing with them, so I’ll call you the same! Anyways, I will soon leave Qingshan Town and go to Cangbei City as I still have something to take care of there, and then go back to Star City afterward. So, are you going to go with me now or you still have to take care of your things first?”
“I’ve arranged everything yesterday. I’ve also talked to my wife. Once I’ve settled in Star City, I’ll be taking her and our child there and let my son study in Star City.” Scarblade Qiang replied.
“Okay, when your son has arrived there, I’ll help you arranging the school for him.” Tang Xiu said.
With a grateful expression, Scarblade Qiang said, “Thanks a lot, Boss.”
Tang Xiu waved and said, “Let’s go now!”
Looking at Miao Wentang, Shao Mingzhen, as well as their men, Scarblade Qiang was secretly feeling timid and dread. He indeed was used to robbing others, and his hands were even covered with blood. But he didn’t know as to why Tang Xiu, Miao Wentang, Shao Mingzhen or even those strong men gave him a dangerous feeling.
As he looked at Tang Xiu who was about to board the car, he spoke with a low voice, “Boss, should I drive my car and follow you from behind?”
“You have a car?” Tang Xiu asked.
Scarblade Qiang pointed to a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado that was parked on the nearby roadside and said, “That’s my car.”
Tang Xiu thought for a moment as he looked at Miao Wentang and said, “Since he has a car I’ll take a ride on his! Let’s drive to Cangbei City and part ways there.”
“Alright!”
Miao Wentang and Shao Mingzhen nodded.
Upon hearing Tang Xiu’s words, Scarblade Qiang immediately became a bit attentive to please him. He ran to the SUV’s trunk with one of the strong man as he reached out his hand to take Tang Xiu’s travel bag.
“Let me do it!” Tang Xiu also came to the trunk and calmly said.
Scarblade Qiang forced out a smile and said, “Boss, let me do the little things such as carrying your bag!”
After having said that, his hands moved to carry the travel bag.
“Ugh… what’s this?”
Scarblade Qiang was stunned. He had exerted quite a bit of strength and even tried lifting the bag twice. At this moment, he even used all of his strength, but he could only lift the bag a few centimeters high. Since he released his grip, the bag fell again onto the trunk.
Tang Xiu patted his shoulder as he said with a smile, “Well, let me do it!”
