Chapter 1082: Thoroughly Convinced

Tang Xiu and Kang Xia exchanged glances and both were happy inwardly due to the quantity of the order. It must be noted that each Hectometer Aeroglider unit was priced at two million yuan, so 10,000 units would 20 billion yuan; whereas the energy battery was 200 yuan each, which meant they would get 200 million yuan from selling one million units.
How much did they invest previously to develop this Hectometer Aeroglider, you ask?
Tang Xiu inwardly laughed. The total investment he gave to Mo Yi’s tech team for the development funds was 200 million yuan. And Kang Xia had reported to him that only half of it was used.
Furthermore, this was just the beginning!
The moment that money came rolling in would be when the Hectometer Aeroglider began to enter the market and sold to the public. There would be countless people, various countries, and numerous forces competing to buy it. At that time, the fortune they would obtain would simply be too many to count.
As Tang Xiu thought up to this point, he looked at Duanmu Lin and said, “Senior Duanmu, after our Magnificent Tang Corporation finishes developing the upgraded version of the Hectometer Aeroglider, we won’t only give the state 50% discount, but I’m also willing to share 20% of the global profit sales as donation.”
In response, Duanmu Lin shot a deep gaze to Tang Xiu. After a long time, he gave a thumbs up and praised. “I won’t say thanks, but you can expect the support from the state when the Hectometer Aeroglider is sold globally in the future.”
“Alrighty!” Tang Xiu firmly nodded.
In fact, he knew perfectly well that if ordinary people, or if some super-rich tycoon owned this kind of heaven-defying and a state-of-the-art product, the state would, in all likelihood, go so far so as to control them, and even confiscate it. After all, the profits would be beyond just being lucrative; even the state wouldn’t be able to ignore it.
However, he was not any Tom, Harry, or Jerry. The state wouldn’t dare to strongarm him. No matter what era, the world was still run based on the hard truth where “might makes right”.
Tang Xiu looked at Kang Xia and said in a deep voice, “Allocate 10% of the profits for charity when the Hectometer Aeroglider is sold globally. Establish schools and hospitals to help all those in need in China. This 10% allocation must never be disturbed no matter how much we earn.”
Kang Xia looked back at Tang Xiu with admiration and love. She knew his heart. He always treated his enemies ruthlessly, but the deepest recess of his heart was full of kindness. She could even imagine that 10% of the profits earned from selling the Hectometer Aeroglider would be a huge figure, and yet he still decided as such. She could imagine how many people would benefit from it in the future.
The figure would absolutely be sky-high!
Duanmu Lin looked at Tang Xiu with a slightly different expression. The previous Tang Xiu had medical ethics and did some good deeds out of kindness. But his decision now would change the fate of countless poor people! This was… virtuousness out of a righteous principle.
After signing the contract, Duanmu Lin and the Special Abilities Bureau’s top executives no longer stayed. They didn’t even have dinner as they hurriedly left Jingmen Island.
At dinner, Tang Xiu took Kang Xia and Yuan Chuling’s group of four to have a meal in the hall. After satiating their hunger and thirst, the shock that shrouded Yuan Chuling’s group had completely disappeared. Tang Xiu asked the waiter to remove the leftovers and changed the servings into tea. Then, he took out a cigarette and lit it up.
“Yuan Chuling, Yue Kai, and you, Hu Qingsong. You three should understand now what big business is, right?” asked Tang Xiu with a smile.
“Yeah, I just witnessed it. I admit.” Yuan Chuling forced a wry smile with twitching lips.
“In actuality, today’s business deal is only one of the deals carried out by my Magnificent Tang Corporation. It wasn’t that big of a deal at all,” Tang Xiu continued with a smile. “If anything, I’ve been thinking about you guys. The fortune earned by my company is hard to imagine for you as the capital from the deals between me and the country, or with other prominent business owners, is sometimes bigger than the deal you just witnessed. The three of you are my classmates and also my brothers, yet you just ran to Jingmen Island for a dog fight for some trivial pocket money. How do you feel about that?”
Yuan Chuling let out a dry smile and said, “Big Bro Tang, if I were to say that I feel confident and good about myself, you’d definitely slap me and pull my ears. Frankly, my old man is the person I’ve been admiring the most since he’s a self-made man who fights against the world with barely anything, yet he earns so much money and now becomes a powerful man. But you’re my biggest idol now. I give you my word that I’ll definitely look up to you in the future. I’ll strive hard and manage my business well so I can make a fortune myself.”
“What Old Yuan said are my thoughts exactly, Big Bro Tang,” echoed Yue Kai. “I won’t be careless and neglect my responsibility by fooling around again later, and I’ll seriously consider my future path. Also, even though I’ve told you many times that I’m thankful to you, I won’t say it this time and put it in my heart.”
Hu Qingsong scratched the back of his head and dryly smiled. “Uh, well, Big Bro Tang. You know I don’t have such great abilities, nor do I have big ambitions. But today, you really gave me too much stimulation, you know. Well, I just meekly ask you whether you have a younger brother to serve you tea and the likes, though. I’ll do everything you tell me even if it is to sleep!”
