Chapter 1134: Findings of the Investigation

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Old lady Zui Ying was a cultivator with many years behind her, but she was still a capable person herself, and the growth and development of her family were inseparable from her efforts. She just watched the conversation of these youngsters and didn’t have any thoughts at all. But then, she thought about establishing a relationship with Tang Xiu and smilingly interjected. “I may hardly involve myself in the business now, but the Shens have too many mouths to feed and we need to make a living as well. How about adding the Shens into the count too?”

Tang Xiu shot a look at Miao Wentang and Zui Ying. He just shrugged in response and smilingly said, “Well, I don’t care much how many people cooperate in this matter. It’s all fine with me as long as Brother Gu agrees.”

Gu Changmin himself was, of course, excited. He knew the status and identity of Miao Wentang and old lady Zui Ying. Adding Tang Xiu, the endeavor would absolutely be a success with the four cooperating. The joined forces of the four could even easily surpass the largest online shopping platform and those large logistics companies in China, right?

What is the capital for one to have the say in doing business?

Money is for sure the answer!

You can do it as long as you have money—and to a certain extent, money can even make you smash the sky. With the four forces cooperating, you can demand money with money and gain power with power. Why would you worry about not making money from the investment?

Jin Xingkui smacked his lips and felt quite helpless inside. Most of his capital had been invested in the newly developed real estate project. Although he’d be able to withdraw a large sum in the next six months, his hands were tied as of now. Therefore, even if he realized that this project was a sure shot to make money, it was unfortunate that the desire didn’t conform to his energy.

Suddenly, Ji Mu jumped into the conversation with a dry smile. “Uh, everyone… can you count me in this project? The Jis may not have much capital, but it’s great to take a ride with you all.”

The Jis of Changxi don’t have much capital?

Gu Changmin couldn’t help but roll his eyes. He may be a man with 10 to 20 billion in assets, but compared to the Jis of Changxi, he was like a dwarf—nothing to speak of. The Ji Family was a very prominent family in Changxi, and even if their net worth was less than 100 billion, they had at least 80 billion in assets.

However, he realized a certain issue and inquired. “Brother Ji, both my hands are open if your family wants to join in too. Besides, you and Brother Tang are friends. I’m fine as long as he trusts you. Only, there’s a big issue I’d like to ask. Can you act on behalf of your patriarch?”

“Well, although my father is still the family patriarch, he has already handed over most of the power in the family to me,” answered Ji Mu with a smile. “I can humbly say that I do have the right to act on behalf of the Ji Family.”

Gu Changmin was excited to hear that and replied, “That’s great, then! Five parties have collaborated and each of us has our own strength, so we can really expect a great outcome. Alright, let’s discuss the specifics…”

The meeting by chance now turned into a business investment cooperation forum. Neither Tang Xiu nor the others had ever thought about it previously.

However, it was just natural that no one would refuse any businesses that could make money, to begin with.

After the discussion, the five parties finally decided to invest 10 billion each, with a total investment of 50 billion. Although Gu Changmin himself couldn’t afford such amount, for the time being, he was still willing to borrow the funds from the bank to make it up to 10 billion yuan.

With the pre-project cooperation agreement done, Tang Xiu waved and said, “Alright, everyone. We’ve done the talking, I won’t involve myself in the business affairs. But I’ll call Kang Xia about the contents we just discussed. You can discuss the specific operations with her later.”

Due to the time, everyone booked a room in the Blue Starfish Mansion after the discussion and prepared to rest for a night before leaving. However, although Ji Mu also took a room for himself, he didn’t immediately rest but stay with Tang Xiu while watching the others leave.

“You got something in mind?”

Tang Xiu shot a glance at Ouyang Lulu. As she headed to the guest room, Tang Xiu turned to Ji Mu and asked.

Ji Mu nodded and said, “Do you have some time, well, in the next few days, by chance? I’m going to marry my girlfriend and I’m hoping that you can attend the wedding.”

“Damn. Your marriage has been dragged on to the present?” blurted out Tang Xiu in amazement.

“It’s not like I wanted to drag it until now, mind you,” replied Ji Mu with a wry smile. “It’s just there’s something wrong with the child, so it kept getting delayed.”

“What happened?” asked Tang Xiu with a slightly shifted expression.

Ji Mu shook his head but didn’t say anything. He then helplessly said, “Let’s leave it at that. Simply put, the child is gone already, and I’ve been with her for a long time recently, so her mood is much better now. But you haven’t replied to me whether you got some time for the next few days, Brother Tang.”

“You got the fixed date?” asked Tang Xiu.

“The first day of the next month,” answered Ji Mu.

Tang Xiu calculated the time and said, “The first day next month is just several days later. I’m not sure if I won’t have any issues I need to deal with, but I’ll definitely come to Changxi if I got nothing urgent. But if I do, I’ll send someone else to deliver you the congratulatory gift. Don’t mind it if it does happen, though.”

Ji Mu immediately let out a happy smile after hearing this. Then, he nodded and said, “I got you. It’s fine with me.”
