Rebirth: Super Banking System Chapter 2447 - 2287: New Home
Previously on Rebirth: Super Banking System...
Back in the day.
Gree never dealt in refrigerators, yet with refrigeration tech at its core, the difference in know-how between air conditioners and fridges remains fairly small. Plus, what's the point of starting from scratch?
Just buy out a fridge manufacturer.
Tough task?
Thanks to these huge international deals pouring in, Gree's foreign earnings this year have surged over twice as much as last year's.
Crunch the numbers.
For this year,
exports now make up over 30% of Gree's overall income, making her "take good care" comment feel right on point.
At present.
It's turned into a powerhouse.
Last year,
Qingyuan Technology alone raked in 400 billion RMB in revenue. Both sales and earnings numbers are jaw-dropping, and that's without counting the rest of the firms.
Tang Trillionaire.
In just a handful of years.
Could it evolve into Tang Ten Trillion?
Hmm!
That's highly likely.
...
Once the toast was done.
Ms. Dong wandered off to another spot, aware that Tang Qing had a packed schedule. Out of all the business leaders there, hardly anyone didn't crave a chat with this young powerhouse.
In that instant.
Tang Qing found himself swamped.
"Boss Tang, congrats! Tianpeng Flying Device has really shone again." Yet another CEO from a public company approached to offer greetings and praise for Tianpeng.
"Haha, pretty good."
Tang Qing answered with a grin.
Tianpeng.
All those early-year orders got shipped out to the initial trio of clients just last month.
- Myanmar.
- Huaxia.
- Australia.
Today.
December's here.
Australia's in summer mode, hot and dry with risks of wildfires everywhere. Still, thanks to how well the Tianpeng firefighting planes perform, the damage hasn't been too bad.
Witnessing that.
Additional nations are showing interest, including the United States with its own order. Business is business, so even though Tang Qing isn't a fan of the U.S., sales must go on.
Those fierce blazes.
Ordinary folks bear the brunt.
"Boss Tang..."
"..."
"Boss Tang..."
"..."
Folks known and unknown lined up one after another for toasts, and Tang Qing welcomed them all without turning anyone away. Since they only cross paths yearly, acting superior just isn't called for.
...
By ten o'clock.
The feast wrapped up.
Guests departed.
On the road.
Ma Yun snagged another lift and intended to bunk down at Tang Qing's villa overnight. In the past, Ma Yun shied from such arrangements, but Tang Qing stood out as the exception.
Some years ago.
During trips to Davos, Switzerland, he'd crashed at Tang Qing's places several times. After all, Zurich boasted an old castle, while Davos had that scenic lakeside home.
Skip the stay,
and it'd mean cramming into some hotel.
On reflection,
bunking over felt way cozier.
Amid their talk,
Tang Qing brought up a timeline: "We’ll leave on the 5th of next month."
"Great."
Ma Yun responded with delight.
Destination?
The Arctic, of course. Back at last year's Davos, Ge Feng of the U.S.-based Ge Family proposed an end-of-year icebreaker adventure up north.
He made the invite list too.
The Arctic.
Truth be told,
he'd never visited before. Post-Arctic, he'd fly straight to Switzerland for the Davos forum, plus link up with Hummingbird collaborators.
Hummingbird on his mind,
Ma Yun's emotions stirred deeply.
From the outset,
when Hummingbird kicked off with zilch, Ali snapped up 10% equity for $1.5 billion—what a steal in hindsight.
These days,
Hummingbird's valuation tops $300 billion.
True enough,
post-IPO on Myanmar's exchange, Ali's share dropped to 6%, yet it's worth nearly $20 billion still.
From fifteen.
To two hundred.
Over tenfold growth, enough to spark jealousy in anyone.
On top of that.
Mid-month, Hummingbird's next U.S. offering round fires off, bound to boost its value further and validate his vision.
Similarly.
It highlights how Tang Qing's knack for miracles keeps getting stronger.
...
Following day.
Morning hours.
Tang Qing headed back to CCTV for a "Dialogue" episode taping. With their solid past teamwork, CCTV pulls him in annually.
Outside that,
they leave him be.
On that note,
Tang Qing gladly accepts, showing CCTV the respect.
Afternoon shift.
He visited a residential area.
---Qinyuan.
"Hello, Boss Tang."
The area's property chief approached with respect and greeted him; this complex stems from joint investments by Tang Qing's underlings, built through a year of hard labor.
Just three days prior,
handover was complete.
By the gateway,
folks lugging bags big and small could be seen hauling stuff in. Rather than handing off property duties, they set up a fresh management firm.
Overseen by Sky Eye.
...
Near the community's entrance,
Tang Qing's arrival sparked a buzz. The bulk of movers were staff from his affiliate firms, lots of whom took off work just for today's relocation.
To dodge weekend crowds.
Gazing at Tang Qing,
gratitude filled their hearts. Such a standard Beijing flat would run millions normally, but sans markup and with firm aid,
so,
they're shelling out just over a million to own one. Absolutely amazing. Peers at rival outfits turn green with jealousy.
For this group,
word is over 36,000 units got erected. Back at investment time, not everyone qualified, but now, a year on,
nearly every unit's assigned.
After grabbing keys,
laying eyes on the places,
satisfaction overwhelmed them. Top-tier finishes, furnishings and all, picked out during assignment for variety, not cookie-cutter.
Every unit.
Stands out.
In picking,
tons of furniture choices awaited, letting them craft setups via combo tools to match their tastes.
And for that,
a mere 50,000 hit their wallets.
Finishes plus furnishings,
all under 50,000. Clear as day, outsourcing renos and shopping for pieces would never clock in below 150,000.
Firm surely covered heaps.
At that moment,
tears welled up for many.
...
Plus,
the whole development sprawls wide, boasting fine greenery, and structures stay modest. Peak height for living blocks hits twelve stories.
On purchase,
each household scores a gratis garage spot.
Wow!
Unheard of in other housing buys. Unused ones can fetch minor rent via property ops monthly.
Within towers,
dual lifts cover four units,
stairs skip area counts, vast lawns are real turf for play, facilities abound fully.
Supermarket.
Gym.
Swimming pool.
Cinema.
Restaurant.
...
Daily joys unfold right inside, barely needing to step out. Beijing hukou comes bundled, easing kid education frets.
Of all perks,
the crowd-pleaser tops with... those twin massive office towers flanking the front gate, gleaming under sun rays—the longer the gaze, the fonder the heart.
Since,
work lies close by for loads.
That perk,
has folks nearly leaping in glee. Beijing gigs' biggest drag? The grueling trek, minimum an hour,
worse,
hours lost in traffic jams.
Sure,
post-hire into Tang Qing's groups, most skip extremes, perks solid enough to nix cheap distant pads.
Also,
dorms await many.
Yet,
joy,
stays comparative. As others jam subways, a short stroll to the desk catapults bliss sky-high.
