Chapter 507 (2/2)
“So, what do you think? Does the scale looks kinda small?”
Long Zhengyu climbed up to the top of the Land Rover, as he smiling said while pointing at the enclosed construction site.
“Well, it’s ordinary. I’ve already seen construction sites several hundred times larger than this, if you ask me,” said Tang Xiu lightly who stood beside him.
Long Zhengyu rolled his eyes at him, “Bah, cut the crap! Hundreds of times larger than this New City is akin to building a new Imperial Capital, huh? Anyways, do you mind if I ask you about something?”
“What is it?” Asked Tang Xiu with a smile.
“What do you plan to do after the New City project has been completed?” Asked Long Zhengyu. “Are you going to have your Magnificent Tang Corp preorder some properties for future stores or residential uses? I’m telling you, once this New City starts selling, it will become very crazy. Though the original floor price may be quite high, the price will probably increase and double after a few years.”
“What about your Long family? How many will you hoard?” Asked Tang Xiu with a smile.
“At least about 100 stores and a few hundred more luxurious houses,” said Long Zhengyu confidently.
“Huh? Are you sure your family can afford to fork out that many funds?” Asked Tang Xiu with a strange expression.
“Aren’t the banks there for this?” Said Long Zhengyu with a smile. “Besides, once the Nine Dragons Island and the Walled Hill Village projects have been completed, my family will regain large amounts of capital. In time, we can pay back the loan to the bank and have a new one.”
Tang Xiu couldn’t help laughing, “Ah, it turns out that your family has this idea! My Magnificent Tang Corp does see the upcoming added value of the New City’s real estates, yet we are not sure of how many properties we are going to take as of now. We’ll be waiting for the opening price to be announced, and then we’ll see how much money the Magnificent Tang Corp is able to come up with!”
“To be honest, the recent development of the Magnificent Tang Corporation kinda makes me jealous. But heck, nothing I can do about it. It’s my fault not to joining in,” said Long Zhengyu with a smile.
“You may not have joined us, yet there’s your little brother’s share in one of those healthcare products that is not yet listed on the market. How can you say that your Long family hasn’t invested anything in my Magnificent Tang Corp, huh?” asked Tang Xiu bluntly.
Long Zhengyu smirked, “That good-for-nothing Lil’ Bro of mine truly can be said to have been struck with great fortune ever since he met you. I can tell from the three products produced by the Magnificent Tang Corp: the Gods Nectar, the Scar Removal Cream, and Skin Care Lotion, that your healthcare business will boom as well. Anyways, I heard that your company has encountered quite some troubles recently. Do you want my help?”
“It’s just a trivial problem. Not worth of you concern. I should be able to solve it within a few days,” said Tang Xiu with a smile.
“I know that, and I’m aware of your abilities. I’m sure you can take care of it.” Long Zhengyu nodded. “Nevertheless, just call me if you ever need my assistance, got it?”
“Roger that!”

At the Magnificent Tang Corporation.
Kuwako Yamamoto came out of the Magnificent Tang Corp.’s edifice with a few of her subordinates after the meeting with the company’s General Manager, Kang Xia. The contract between her and Kang Xia had been smoothly signed, which stated that she could order 20,000 bottles of Gods Nectar annually from the Magnificent Tang Corp.
Inside the building above, Kang Xia was standing before the window of General Manager’s Office with a smiling face. She then looked at Tie Zhongkui who just came out of the next room and asked, “What have you found?”
“One from the list Boss gave me tapped the conversation between you and Kuwako Yamamoto about the negotiation. So, their Boss behind the scene must have heard about the content of your conversation as well.”
“I originally thought that they would report it back to their Boss after they left. I didn’t expect them to be so direct and bold, though. It seems that Kuwako Yamamoto’s road to be the Head of the House of Yamamoto will be quite difficult!”
“The House of Yamamoto has quite a lot of members. They are also quite powerful and possess huge influence, hence the very fierce and intense internal fighting. It’s kind of a given that it won’t be easy for Kuwako to be the Head of the Yamamoto House. Furthermore, Japan is a bastion of male chauvinism, and women have a low status in their society. This variable also increases the difficulty for Kuwako to become the next Head of her House.
“Though I don’t believe in her ability, I trust Boss’s judgment,” said Kang Xia with a smile. “Since he wants to make her the future Head of the House of Yamamoto, as well as the future Master of Northstar One Blade School, she will definitely achieve it.”
Tie Zhongkui nodded, “Chief Kang, if there’s nothing else, then I’ll take my leave as I need to prepare something. We’re currently executing a scripted play, and the climax will be played just about tonight.”
“Work hard! I wish you can do it well and make Boss pleased,” said Kang Xia with a smile.
“Will do!”

Amidst the dim lights of the night, in the courtyard of a dilapidated residential building in the southern suburb of Star City, dozens of elite experts from Japan were hiding in all corners. Inside the house was Kuwako Yamamoto in her night travel suite, wiping her katana with a serious expression. On the chair opposite hers was Ono Takayama, who was currently smoking with a glint in his eyes.
“Young lady, it’s almost time. We must move.”
