Rebirth: Super Banking System Chapter 2362 - 2202: Infiltration
Previously on Rebirth: Super Banking System...
Naturally.
Acting as a visitor.
Tang Qing stepped up onto the platform too, making a brief appearance while engaging in casual conversation to fill the moments. The audience paid little attention to his words; instead, they gazed up at the stage with keen interest.
Their gazes brimming with eagerness.
Impossible not to feel that way.
Who wouldn't feel jealous of such immense fortune, earning profits effortlessly, possessing wealth on a national scale, and spreading investments across numerous nations worldwide, far beyond the limits of single-nation firms.
During this month.
- Qingyuan.
- Microcrystal.
- Comet.
The quarterly financial statements from these three listed enterprises came out, giving yet another lift to their share values, as prices climbed right on the release day.
Wow!
Calculating it out.
The gains from this stretch alone caused a minor uptick in Tang Qing's fortune according to the November figures from Forbes.
In March.
Forbes unveiled its global wealth list, estimating Tang Qing's assets to grow by an additional 20 billion USD, solidly holding at 400 billion.
Switching to RMB.
Wow!
Three trillion.
Incredible!
Just a handful of months have passed, and while stock valuations often defy logic, Tang Qing's trio of firms carry minimal inflation with vast prospects ahead.
Observe.
Back in 2008 and 2009.
On the worldwide billionaire roster, countless fortunes dwindled, with Bill Gates and Warren Buffett nearly dropping hundreds of billions, yet Tang Qing surged upward defying the downturn.
That's!
True prowess.
That's!
Real assurance.
Utterly unlike most businesses, it escaped the financial turmoil entirely, thriving in both markets and essential operations, generating profits everywhere.
Envy!
Jealousy!
Stirring intense resentment in others!
...
Down from the platform.
At one secluded spot.
"Seriously, no one stepping up to knock him off his perch?" A youthful Caucasian man grumbled, full of jealousy toward a Huaxia individual pulling off such success.
Despite his own status as a consortium heir, envy consumed him.
billion dollars.
Frankly speaking.
Few such groups command that level of riches, and crucially, theirs are collective family assets, unlike Tang Qing's purely personal holdings.
Good looks.
Skill.
Riches.
At such a tender age, this brilliant rising star dims everyone else, fueling fantasies of binding Tang Qing and claiming his shares.
Naturally.
Mere daydreams, since the chances of success hover near nothing.
Next to him.
His friend, catching those words, gave a faint head shake. "If anyone planned to bring him down, it'd have happened already. Tang Qing holds a unique position, supported by Huaxia and tied to Myanmar."
"The first one's discussable."
"The second one."
"As you know, stances on Myanmar policy spark major rifts within the groups; messing with Tang Qing means delving into Myanmar affairs, stirring up a real mess internally."
"..."
At those words.
The youth fell silent.
Fine!
He realized that a simple link wouldn't matter, but the web of connections runs deep, including Microcrystalline Technology's holographic tech sourced from Myanmar.
Wan Qing Mining.
Heavens!
It engages in ongoing partnerships for Africa's steel sector. Comet Group, meanwhile, focuses mainly on Huaxia home turf, so any hit wouldn't prove deadly.
Lastly.
Qingyuan Technology?
Ha!
Give it a shot.
For Qingyuan Technology's phones, tablets, computers... their OS and chips link either to ERV or involve ties with global tech leaders.
Poke one area.
Everything shifts.
Plenty desire Tang Qing's downfall.
However.
Those wishing him well aren't scarce either. Lately, he's forged bonds with various powerful state entities and socialized freely at gatherings.
Standing behind Tang Qing.
Lies Huaxia too.
Meddling with Tang Qing... the mere idea sparks a pounding headache!
Drop it.
This falls beyond what a mere scion of a consortium can tackle or fret over. His playing field is far too elevated for easy sabotage.
...
Midday.
At the hotel.
Tang Qing shared lunch with a prominent figure, different from the previous year's. He recognized that soon enough, this individual would appear nightly on the News Broadcast.
Dining.
Conversing.
"Any intentions for the coming year?" The prominent figure inquired warmly.
"Same as always: work, daily life, learning." Tang Qing showed no signs of unease.
On hearing that.
"Ha-ha!" The figure chuckled, "Nicely put."
"You flatter me."
"Your firm's planes are outstanding; I've learned several tech features are highly original, impressive work, and I encourage keeping that momentum with bold innovations."
As he spoke.
The figure halted briefly, then gave a sheepish grin. "Apologies, off topic." It's an old pattern; he aimed for a casual dine, but it veered into review mode.
"No issue."
"Feel free to visit and review our facilities whenever!" Tang Qing replied with a grin.
"Excellent!"
In the realm of private firms.
Tang Qing's outfits place among the top two in assets, from the main entity to its branches, most dominate their fields as top players.
Spanning diverse sectors.
Hence.
Visits for oversight are quite likely; this month alone, he learned of Qingyuan Technology's yearly summary boasting close to 400 billion in earnings, utterly dominating the competition.
Of which.
The Epoch's next-gen device drove the bulk.
Delivering fifty million pieces.
Averaging five thousand each.
Thus.
Surpassing two trillion, with massive earnings that outstrip rivals by miles. A private powerhouse like this seemed inconceivable half a decade back.
Today.
It stands as a real force, truly heaven-sent for Huaxia! Though built on combined advancements, complacency evades them, pouring funds into R&D.
Six key tech hubs.
Word has it.
They house no fewer than seventy thousand scientists, buzzing with energy! And crucially—compassionate. Employees never face abuse, and overtime stays strictly controlled.
In essence.
An ideal.
A steadfast ideal! The closer the scrutiny, the deeper the respect!
"..."
Their talk flowed on about routine topics, joined now and then by aides, ensuring the lunch stayed lively throughout.
...
Post-lunch.
Tang Qing departed the hotel; such leaders juggle packed schedules, and even overseas, home duties demand attention, leaving only mealtimes free.
By the lake.
In the villa.
Tang Qing hosted more visitors once more; settling the next round of Hummingbird allies required action these days, keeping him busy with one-on-one talks.
Not hashing deals.
Just building rapport.
At present.
Hummingbird partnership conditions follow a standard format, leaving scant room for debate; all embrace it eagerly, with most seeking not the venture's gains.
But access to the network.
Shares.
Financing.
Backing.
Zero haggling involved. Tang Qing selected eleven for Hummingbird's follow-up group, reaching thirty-nine cumulative, for a grand total of fifty.
Remaining slots, in the years ahead, will fill slowly, chiefly since certain prospects fall short of criteria, yet Tang Qing eyes those national markets.
How to proceed?
Straightforward.
--- Infiltration.
Lacking a fitting ally, build one; so over the following pair of years, nations tagged as 'priorities.'
Will see power clashes.
The outcome.
Stands mostly foreordained, naturally, methods stay mild, as he's nurturing his influences, avoiding widespread disorder.
Conflicts.
Center mostly on familial authority tiers.
