Chapter 1041 - The Six Family’s Cooperation (2/2)
“The Mus can provide 20 billion yuan in a month. More than that, I’m afraid it will affect our other businesses,” said Mu Hongtao.
“You can also expect 20 billion yuan in a month from the Chus,” added Chu Heng, the Chu Family’s patriarch. “We can still provide 20 billion yuan more if the funds are insufficient for later development, but we’ll also face difficulties if it’s more than that.”
“It’s the same with us!” added Bai Yichen.
“Mine too!” replied Song Gang, the Song Family’s patriarch.
“I concur with everyone else!” said Li Shirong, the Li Family’s patriarch, added smilingly.
“Each of the five families has taken out 20 billion yuan, so the total is 100 billion. But since our Tang Family is taking the leadership of this project, then we’ll 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’ll also have continuous income after the development is carried out, so the following construction plan should be guaranteed. Should the late-stage of development be underfunded, each family can add additional funds to adjust the proportion of the profit share. Grandpa, I’ll take out 40 billion yuan. I’ll tell someone to transfer the money to you later.”
Tang Guosheng let out a satisfied smile and nodded. “Transfer it to Tang Dong directly. But he will have the authority to deal with the Mang City’s investment.”
“Understood!” replied Tang Xiu with a nod.
The other five family patriarchs 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. Added with its rapid development and growth, his company has been burning its capital, especially with the construction of its own industrial park in Shanghai.
40 billion! It was an amount each family could also provide, yet it would also slightly affect their cashflow. If they had to cough up more capital than that, they may even fracture.
At this moment, only then did they realize why did Tang Guosheng decide to wait until Tang Xiu arrived to discuss the Mang City issue. They now understood why Tang Xiu could participate in this issue. It was because Tang Xiu had the capital and wealth!
Mu Hongtao grinningly said, “Well, it seems like my granddaughter has found a man with a good future! Tang Xiu, come visit my family more if you got time later. You and Wanying are not too young anymore, and I think you should plan your wedding date. Though it’s also fine if you two get engaged first if you think it’s too early!”
‘What an old fox!’
The other patriarchs cursed inwardly. Mu Wanying was famous as the First Belle in the capital and they had heard about it too. For her to be Tang Xiu’s lover made them somewhat envious. They secretly sighed inwardly as to why they didn’t have a granddaughter that could become the First Belle of Beijing—otherwise, they could marry her to the Tang Family, or better, have Tang Xiu as their granddaughter’s husband.
Tang Xiu didn’t want to participate in the discussion of the following steps of the cooperation content and details. Although Tang Guosheng usually valued his opinions, he didn’t have any concern about this issue. It had been a few days after he left the Nine Dragons Island. Although Mo Awu updated him every day, he still wanted to rush back to Nine Dragons Island to solve the problems there as fast as possible.
However, he was also afraid that he would likely be dirt poor after taking out 40 billion yuan. Despite his recent excellent income, be it from Kang Xia who sent him the profits from the New Metro of Star City, or the money he earned from selling medicinal pills, all the money he earned previously added together could only barely make up 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 several familiar elders and nodded to the unfamiliar ones. Then, his eyes fell on Mu Wanying.
“Tang Xiu!” called out Mu Wanying with a happy and surprised face immediately after she saw him.
“Anything interesting you talked about with Grandma?” asked Tang Xiu smilingly.
A flash of shyness flashed across Mu Wanying’s eyes as she whispered, “I didn’t say anything and just accompanied Grandma to chat about the family’s daily lives, you know.”
“Hehehe, you easily got shy, Wanying girl.” Qin Changyue smilingly said, “I just told her that you and Wanying are no longer that young, Xiu’er! It’s time for you both to consider marriage. I just spoke to your mother about it. Even if you still have to finish your studies, it’s fine for at least to get a wedding first, no? Besides, this old lady can’t wait to hold her great-grandson.”
Tang Xiu let out a few dry chuckles and perfunctorily replied, “I’ll give you a letter of approval for the engagement later, Grandma. But well, there are things I still need to tend to out there, so I’ll take Wanying out first. Please continue your chat, Grandma.”
How could Qin Changyune not able to see Tang Xiu being perfunctory? She shook her head and spoke to the nearby Su Lingyun with a smile, “Lingyun! You must convince Xiu’er that he’s no longer a young boy, got it? Don’t tell me you’re not anxious to hug a chubby grandson yourself!”
“I know that, Mom. That’s for sure,” replied Su Lingyun with a smile.
After taking Mu Wanying out of the wing room, only then did Tang Xiu sighed in relief and smilingly said, “Don’t listen to the drivel of those elderlies, got it? Besides, we got too many things at hand at this moment, so the marriage must wait. But if they keep pushing it, let’s just find the time to get engaged and do the formal ceremony first. What do you think?”
“Well, I’ll just listen to you about that.” Mu Wanying chuckled.
