Rebirth: Super Banking System Chapter 2339 - 2179: Sea Trials
Previously on Rebirth: Super Banking System...
Eavesdropping.
"Tough days?"
A grin crept onto Tang Kai's face. Yes, during his escape to Thailand, kicking off as a humble street seller, he was adrift in an unfamiliar place, utterly without foundations.
Taking on random gigs.
Erecting market booths.
Hawking products.
Launching shops.
...
That path was genuinely grueling.
Facing harassment.
Getting sidelined.
Suffering shakedowns.
Enduring prejudice.
...
Carving out an existence from nothing in a distant nation, the trials and obstacles encountered are beyond what most can fathom. Success arises only from surviving the harshest trials.
Nowadays.
He has risen above the battles at last. No one's triumphs arrive without effort... well, except for Tang Qing, who remained obscure until his final high school year.
Post-graduation.
Existence.
Appeared summed up in those four simple words: Effortless progress. The cause? He chalked it up to Tang Qing encountering a 'key figure,' propelling the Tang Family to its present heights.
...
Sipping tea.
Conversing.
Recalling old times.
Several folks bantered casually on the mansion's terrace, and since Tang Kai's arrival was known, neighbors from the same upscale area dropped by to greet him.
Exceptionally cordial.
At present.
The Tang Family stands at its peak, wielding significant sway across numerous nations, surpassing the stature of these acquaintances and shaping into a global powerhouse.
Reflecting on it.
Jealousy stirs.
Yet deep satisfaction too.
In the end.
They share Chinese roots, and witnessing a Chinese clan reach such eminence fills them with national pride. In the past, they saw Lee Ka-shing as the shining example of Chinese business magnates.
But viewing it today.
Whoa!
Fine.
He's merely wealthy on a solid scale, nothing more. The Li Family's couple billion in assets fades beside the Tang Family's fortune.
Furthermore.
Their reach doesn't match the Tang Family's expansive influence, leaving folks in awe of the enduring proverb that new geniuses arise in each era, vividly capturing Tang Qing's ascent.
Tomorrow.
Promises even greater splendor.
...
Nightfall.
Tang Liang's resort hummed with activity; after amassing riches, he ventured into new fields, constructing a luxury five-star hotel in Bangkok.
On this occasion.
Tang Kai hosted his longtime companions.
"Old Tang, cheers to you—thanks for the hookup, or my ventures wouldn't thrive like they do." A man in his forties lifted his drink.
In the past.
While Ling held the reins, developing Xin’an Town.
Back then.
During investment drives, Tang Kai served as the connector, drawing them into the fold. Today, all have reaped massive gains, multiplying their fortunes ten times over.
They grin from cheek to cheek constantly now.
"You flatter me."
"Without that daring move, this windfall wouldn't have come my way." Tang Kai replied with a humble chuckle. During those days, he invited select pals, though many hesitated.
As a result.
Only a fraction jumped in—close allies or the bold hearts. The outcome speaks for itself; participants can now step back from the grind.
Step away.
Enjoy ease, free from lifelong frets.
Plus.
The Myanmar Asia Chamber of Commerce's internal trade loops ensure steady business flows, provided no major blunders occur.
Luck plays no part.
"Haha, got to hand it to Boss Tang's sharp vision."
"You're too generous."
"..."
Around longtime buddies, Tang Kai displayed zero haughtiness, consistently projecting a modest and affable demeanor, stemming from his steady nature.
Plus the impact of Tang Qing.
Throughout.
Tang Qing exudes wisdom far beyond his years, with a mild temperament. Even amid vast fortunes today, he avoids strutting arrogantly.
Daily routine.
Professional dealings.
Social exchanges.
Interactions.
No hint of swagger from early victories, content but ever urging himself to emulate his nephew, shunning displays of riches.
Additionally.
The Tang Family now commands immense prestige.
Under scrutiny from endless gazes, restraint becomes essential to dodge needless backlash, and he believes Tang Qing shares this view.
However.
His assumption missed the mark.
Tang Qing's modesty.
Stems from grasping unfathomable authority, observing the realm from on high, dealing with realms ordinary folks could never touch.
Scheming global affairs.
Steering grand designs.
Lurking in shadows.
Genuinely indifferent to showing off.
...
Moments pass swiftly.
Over three days.
Tang Kai joined numerous events, reconnecting with veterans, forging fresh bonds, until Saturday's departure from Thailand back home.
Jetting to Sanya.
By midday.
He reached the evaluation site beside the dockyard; the prior Friday in Xin Province saw the plane in trials, now requiring ocean trials.
Of course.
His curiosity ran high too.
"Uncle."
On landing.
Tang Qing had arrived ahead, joined by eager pals, none absent, including reps from defense and guard units, drawn mainly by the plane.
Still.
Plenty of stares fixed on the underwater craft.
"Jun Bro."
By his side.
Stood Wei Jun. He skipped the prior Xin Province trial, yet the broadcast left him hooked, prompting this visit.
After all, his schedule allowed it.
"Little Boss Tang."
Wei Jun responded promptly.
Once upon a time.
In Ling's leadership days, their initial encounter with Tang Qing struck him as special, never dreaming of this level, yet he stuck to the old nickname.
A touch of honor in it.
Right then.
His eyes caught a colossal flyer, stationed on a trial vessel, as the submersible gradually surfaced from the harbor, its form strikingly elegant.
Immediately captivating.
"Is this... available for purchase?" Wei Jun inquired.
"Absolutely."
Tang Kai grinned in reply.
"You interested?"
"Definitely."
Wei Jun affirmed with a nod.
Truth be told, no exaggeration, zipping across waves in this submersible would thrill, and acquiring it lets him back Tang Qing.
"Got it."
"I'll let you know once it's on the market; it's still under trials, much like the plane, with the soonest launch by year's end next." Tang Kai explained.
"Sounds good."
Wei Jun skipped pricing questions.
Come on.
Billionaire status, with billions idle in his accounts, he'd never balk at a submersible's cost.
It's no sub.
...
Soon enough.
As the submersible plunged into the depths.
"All aboard!"
The group clambered onto the vessel, which from outside resembled a enormous crane ship, boasting huge hoisting gear like a monstrous fixture at the rear.
The front rose like a lofty spire, countering the load.
At the same time.
Forward protrusions like wings held spots for two helos, one bought, the other loaned by sea enforcers for support.
For such an trial.
Reporting was mandatory.
Hence.
Beyond sea police.
Multiple aid ships circled nearby, all from sea authorities, confirming precautions before launching the operation.
Like satellites orbiting a planet.
The armada.
Departed.
Heading southward, after one kilometer, the submersible dove down for standard checks, while the flyer whirred its vast blades, hoisting its bulk aloft.
Lingering steadily overhead.
After ten kilometers.
"Initial sea dive trial, commence!"
