Chapter 391: Chapter 391: Tremendous Help_1

"Well, I definitely wouldn’t let you have any!" Tang Tianze actually cracked a joke.

The atmosphere was relaxed, and Shen Dong’s courage grew. He pursed his lips, pondering, "In the financial market, no one can claim they have a clear view, not even the old man, but he says finance is a derivative of the market. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand finance, follow the market trends."

"The future belongs to the internet, which means easy exchange of market information. The liveliness of information exchange signifies more opportunities for cross-sector collaboration, which is good for the market."

"Furthermore, the internet and its derivative industries will see explosive growth because, gradually, the nation and even the world will embrace internet-based living. So, what kind of change will this pie, involving billions of people, bring to society?"

"The old man believes that today is wonderful, and tomorrow will be even better."

With just a brief speech, Shen Dong had exhausted all his economic understanding, resulting in Tang Tianze’s deep contemplation.

For every second Tang Tianze stayed silent, Shen Dong felt a second of nervousness.

"Not bad," Tang Tianze finally gave a light two-word comment after a long while, gave Shen Dong a thumbs up, but said nothing more before turning to walk into the kitchen, "Try my cooking."

Shen Dong nearly cursed out loud. What did that mean? Make it clear!

The skills of a billionaire weren’t something to brag about, really quite ordinary.

If this meal were to be auctioned off, it probably could fetch tens of thousands in soft currency, but Shen Dong couldn’t taste anything special.

"How is it?" Tang Tianze asked with an enthusiastic smile, serving Tang Yuchan some dishes. His voice and smile betrayed no hint of anything being amiss.

"It’s delicious, really. My dad’s cooking is just so-so, only knows how to make dough drop soup." With every word Shen Dong said, he recalled books from his past life like "Workplace Tricks" and "The Art of Language."

Perhaps those books were actually proving useful. After some small talk, Tang Tianze finally got to the point.

He placed his chopsticks on the table, his gaze seeming to hold a different flavor, "I must admit I was shortsighted. Initially, I wasn’t optimistic about your project, but I am very fond of Hai City’s land."

"Now it seems that not talking about project profits, the derived chain of interests is quite substantial. Cooperation is a win-win."

The word ’cooperation’ took on a profound meaning, implying that Shen Dong and Tang Tianze were sitting in equal positions, discussing business together.

Shen Dong felt a rush of exhilaration. Just as he was about to speak, Tang Tianze unexpectedly brought out an acquisition proposal.

On seeing this, Shen Dong felt his heart turning cold.

Was it his performance that was problematic, or was Tang Tianze’s ultimate goal acquisition all along?

"Dad, what is this..." Tang Yuchan spotted it too and suddenly stood up.

Tang Tianze, as if blind to it all, clasped his hands on the table, his eyes filled with benevolence, "Doing business is like being a star. With fame, you get good directors, producers willing to pay top dollar, but without fame, stepping onto the screen is very tough; it requires a lot of sacrifices."

"Heh." Shen Dong couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, almost saying that no wonder Mrs. Zhang was not as famous as Tang Yuchan in the future.

However, Shen Dong no longer harbored such naive impulses, and with a faint smile, he looked at Tang Tianze, "You can ignore my achievements, that’s your business, farewell."

After saying ’farewell,’ Shen Dong turned and walked away.

He didn’t know why he’d spoken so decisively. In his heart, he desperately wanted to say something to prove himself, but gazing into Tang Tianze’s eyes, he couldn’t bring himself to say a word of submission.

What he wanted to say most was about the passing of thirty years, too childish... An oath of ambition didn’t need to be shouted out, especially not to outsiders.

"Dad, you really went too far." This was unexpected for Shen Dong; Tang Yuchan actually scolded her father and followed him out.

Shen Dong kept a straight face, and offered a token resistance, "There’s no need for you to strain your relationship over this..."

"Business is business."

Tang Yuchan let out a sigh, her tone laced with regret, "I should’ve realized earlier that Mrs. Zhang is in the middle of fundraising and might be short on funds."

"Is that so?" Shen Dong suddenly understood why Tang Tianze was asking about financial issues.

The man with deep scheming looked down on him, so, with no regard for restraint, he revealed his true inner thoughts.

He wanted to know if the listing this year would have a prosperous start.

Business-wise, it might.

But what was the scope of the Tang Family’s business? Glass factories, metallurgy, mineral resources...

Shen Dong felt a bit of schadenfreude, tilting his head as he looked at Tang Yuchan, "If your dad falls, will you hate me?"

"Are you sick?" Tang Yuchan said. She took out her mobile phone from her bag, glanced at it, and then hung up directly, "Jing City is left to Xu Zheng, I’m coming with you to Hai City!"

"What the heck, eloping?" Shen Dong deliberately made a surprised expression, placing a single hand over his heart and leaning back half-body.

Tang Yuchan’s face suddenly grew hot, remembering the disgraceful way she had been drunk that night, "Get lost."

She cursed and reached into her backpack again. This time she picked up the phone with an especially serious tone, "The money was borrowed.

I know, and I will pay you back with interest within a year, Tang Tianze. Doing business to the extent of leveraging your daughter, you really are something!"

With a snap, the flip phone was closed by Tang Yuchan with a flick, "For the logistics part, what ideas do you have?"

"Dragon Country can collaborate with major courier services. Hmm, the entry point should focus on contracting the last mile of freight delivery, door-to-door pickup, home delivery, and also, let Xu Zheng make a quarterly dispatch report for Jing City, advocating for establishing neighborhood-level courier stations among the major logistics companies."

"What?" Tang Yuchan was taken aback once again, neighborhood-level courier stations?

She blinked in disbelief, "Do you know how many neighborhoods there are in Jing City, neighborhood-level..."

"Hey, sister, don’t always think about investing money on something. Our marketing concept is to support entrepreneurship, like that little store. You give them money to collect packages on behalf of others; see how happy they will be."

Shen Dong had seen Tianniao Post Station and confidently said, "Where there are lazy people, there will certainly be diligent ones too."

"Great idea!" Tang Yuchan praised with her mouth, but in her heart, she repeated one sentence over and over again, "Don’t always think of stealing money." This phrase was so true; what are merchants best at? Getting something for nothing.

As they spoke, the two of them got into the Audi.

Tang Yuchan seemed serious, even sending the driver away, with an air suggesting she was ready to completely break with Tang Tianze.

Shen Dong understood without asking that Tang Yuchan didn’t like living in her father’s shadow and wanted to build her own career to prove herself.

This was an aspiration Shen Dong shared.

Mergers and acquisitions mean the loss of sovereignty; what does that imply?

Tang Tianze believed the project was promising and would greatly aid in securing financing, but he would rather give up that ’aid’ than work with Shen Dong!

Ha, that’s how much he despised Shen Dong.

What Shen Dong especially couldn’t accept was Tang Tianze’s utter lack of intention to retain him!

"Hey, I’ll ask one more time." Shen Dong thought about this and suddenly turned seriously towards Tang Yuchan.
