Chapter 310 (2/2)

“Got it!” Long Zhengyu nodded.

Moments after, Tom Reggie and Mo Awen arrived.

“I’m really glad to know that you came back, Mr. Tang! By the way, this friend is…” Tom Reggie warmly shook hands with Tang Xiu as he then turned to look at Long Zhengyu.

Tang Xiu introduced, “He’s a friend from my country. I especially called him here to discuss a business cooperation for a certain project. It’s also exactly why I invited you to come since I’m going to ask you whether you’re interested to earn some money from me.”

“From you?” a puzzled expression appeared on Tom Reggie’s face.

Tang Xiu explained the matter and then finally said, “You’re a local tyrant here in Saipan, you can handle things more conveniently than Long Zhengyu. So if you wanna join us in this, you gotta make a decision now.”

Shock suffused in Tom Reggie’s eyes as he inquired, “But can you really… come up with more than 20 billion funds, Mr. Tang?”

“20 billion may be a huge sum of money, but it’s not a problem for me. What I care about is the progress of the work and the quality. I can get the money as long as you have the ability,” said Tang Xiu with a smile.

“That’s all right.” Tom Reggie nodded heavily, “I’m interested in this profitable project anyway. What’s more, I’m doing a business with a big boss such as you, Mr. Tang. Anyways, Mr. Long, since this is Mr. Tang’s project, do you have any ideas in mind for cooperation?”

“About the earning share issues, let’s have a separate negotiation later,” said Long Zhengyu.

“Alright!” Tom Reggie nodded and laughed.

“I don’t want to know about the issues between the two of you, so you can discuss it between yourselves,” said Tang Xiu. “In short, you just need to handle the project quality and its progress for me. By the way, do you both want to see the island I bought?”

“Certainly. Besides, we don’t know the current situation on the island yet. So we can arrange the specific and concrete construction project after we have finished the fieldwork survey,” said Long Zhengyu.

“How about now? This matter shouldn’t be delayed, right?” asked Tang Xiu with a smile.

Long Zhengyu looked at Tom Reggie.

The latter had a difficult to describe expression as he said, “Would you please wait for a while, Mr. Tang? I have some important things I have yet to deal with. Give me half a day. After I have finished handling my matters we’ll leave early in the morning tomorrow. Is that fine with you?”

“Alright then. I’ll be resting here today!” said Tang Xiu with a smile.

Tom Reggie immediately said, “I’ll arrange accommodations right away.”

Waving his hand to him, Tang Xiu said, “I’ll stay here. Long Zhengyu is one of us anyway, no need for the civilities. You can go busy yourself! Let’s have dinner after you’re done with your things.”

“If so… I’ll take my leave first.”

With Tom Reggie leaving, Long Zhengyu squinted his eyes and said, “This Tom Reggie is not bad, Tang Xiu. Seemingly a straightforward man to me.”

“If he has no boldness and resolution, how can he do a big business? Tom Reggie has an unusual identity and used to be a very fierce man. His mind and decision making abilities are good, so get along and speak openly about whatever you have in mind with him,” said Tang Xiu with a smile.

“Relax! Besides, the most important thing in a cooperation is integrity and trust, which I can vouch for myself. Anyhow, have you contacted your family since you left Beijing? I heard from Ouyang Lulu that your paternal aunt was looking for you, but she couldn’t contact you.” Long Zhengyu laughed.

Paternal aunt?

Tang Min’s face appeared in Tang Xiu’s mind as he then shook his head and said, “I haven’t contacted anyone. Aside from contacting several important people after I came abroad, I haven’t called too many people. But, what did she contact me for?”

“I dunno,” Long Zhengyu shook his head. “Call and ask Ouyang Lulu if you want to find out about it. Or you can call her directly.”

Tang Xiu was silent for a moment as he nodded, “I’ll contact her later. Let’s go! I’ll take you to a Thai massage. This place has a good one. That’s right, I also made an acquaintance here, a very vigorous and heroic-spirited person as well as generous and loyal.”

“Who?” asked Long Zhengyu.

“I don’t know what he does since I didn’t ask him.” Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “But he should be a Big Boss, though. He called himself Old Fatty Li, so I called him likewise.”

“Old Fatty Li?” astonishment covered Long Zhengyu’s face. “Are you saying he’s the Northeast Steel Magnate—Li Laoshan?”

“Yea, he seems to be called Li Laoshan,” said Tang Xiu with a smile.

Raising his thumb up, Long Zhengyu exclaimed with a sigh, “Damn, I really didn’t expect you would meet and make acquaintances with Li Laoshan here. That fella is a terrific guy, notoriously proud and haughty in the country. Unless you can fascinate him with your skill, otherwise he would have normally ignored you.”

“Eh?” Surprised, Tang Xiu said in astonishment, “You mean… he’s crazy?”
