Tang Kai was taken aback after hearing Wangsa’s words.
He had no idea that Ling had taken over Su Yu’s territory. Su Yumanded nearly fifty thousand soldiers and ruled over a poption exceeding a million. Judging by the strength Ling has shown, there was quite a gap in every aspect other than money.
Yet, such an impossible thing had happened?
"Did they fight?" Tang Kai asked anxiously.
"No, I’m not clear about the exact details, but they must have reached some sort of agreement which will only be knownter. However, my main reason for this call is not to discuss this, but to ask you if you are interested in being my business partner." Wangsa revealed his real purpose.
"A business partnership? Why? You shouldn’t be short of money?" Tang Kai asked, puzzled. Could Wangsa be short of money? While he himself might be, his family certainly wasn’t.
"No, It’s not about being short of money, but rather, I am looking for someone to partner with me in running a business. I feel a bit uneasy doing it alone." Wangsa exined.
Uneasy?
So there was a business that Wangsa wasn’t confident about.
Unable to guess what it could be, Tang Kai asked, "What kind of business?"
"A constructionpany." said Wangsa.
"A constructionpany?" Tang kai eximed in surprise.
"Yes, you probably don’t know, Ling is nning a huge infrastructure project in his territory- roads, bridges, towns, hydropower stations, and even arge-scale city n.
This is all money. The total estimated investment is not less than ten billion Asia Dors, even more. Think about it, that’s a huge piece of the pie. " Wangsa said with excitement. He just loved money-making deals.
Tang Kai was also surprised at therge investment, but this was very much Ling’s style. Generous, decisive, and focused on basic livelihood construction. However, he still had concerns: "But we don’t have any construction experience, and what are you uneasy about working with Ling? He shouldn’t stiff you."
"Boss Tang,ck of experience is not a problem. We can acquire a constructionpany. As for my unease, it’s not with Ling, but rather that bringing you in would increase our chances of sess. For such arge project, if I were to partner with someone, you would be a better fit." Wangsa candidly stated.
His mind was rather shrewd.
Looking back on the development of the territory, he realized that among the businessmen with good rtions and private connections with Ling, there were only the two of them. He had his unique position and his family also had great power in Thand.
Tang Kai had business dealings with Ling in gems and jewelry, and this sole supplier qualification was not an ordinary rtionship. Other businessmen seemed to have no close contact with Ling, and Ling didn’t associate closely with the merchants in the territory.
Therefore, given these premises, partnering with Tang Kai was inevitable.
Although there were already businessmen in the territory who had constructionpanies before, those were small-scale, without the qualifications and experience to construct hydropower stations or high-rise and super high-rise buildings.
And they were basically all local people who had started from scratch in the territory, so their capital is not much, and they couldn’t afford to acquirerge constructionpanies overseas.
But they could.
Wangsa had Thand backing him.
And Tang Kai could acquire apany in Huaxia. After all, Ling’s territory was now adjacent to Huaxia, and hiring skilled and experienced workers from there seemed to be something Ling had thought of.
A huge pie worth billions.
Even if they got only one-fifth, they would be ecstatic. That’s why he made this call, wanting to partner with Tang Kai. They could go together to meet Ling. Even if they had to fund the project initially, they had the capital. This was the second reason for finding Tang Kai, to share the risk of the initial investment.
Also, to deepen his rtionship with Tang Kai.
This should be his first cooperation with Tang Kai, and the fruit wine business was merely them acting as distributors.
Once Tang Kai monopolized all the gems and jewelry underneath Ling’s tens of thousands of square kilometers, Tang Kai’s worth and influence in the industry would skyrocket. Establishing a good rtionship with Tang Kai was also one of his family’s objectives.
Hearing this, Tang Kai was also tempted. Though he had no experience in this field, he could just acquire apany—he didn’t need to understand the ins and outs himself. However, he had already made so much money, what if Ling felt that he was too greedy?
Tang Kai expressed his concern: "Commander Wangsa, we already have so many money-making projects on hand. If we get into construction as well, won’t it look a bit... you know, as if we are being too greedy?"
Wangsa nonchntly said, "Boss Tang, you’re overthinking it. Why would you not try to grasp this windfall opportunity? We have the edge because of our rtionship with Ling. At the end of the day, Ling’s money has to go somewhere, doesn’t it?
We don’t need to pull any strings; fairpetition should suffice. The bidding for thisrge-scale project definitely won’t involve onlypanies from Ling’s territory, as theyck the experience and credentials for it. So, in essence, we’ll bepeting with foreignpanies.
Think about it—thosepanies will run off as soon as they make their profits. This is not beneficial to Ling, but we will stay even after making money. We have no reason to leave, which effectively lessens Ling’s burden of currency exchange. Isn’t that right?"
Wangsa passionately tried to persuade Boss Tang.
Tang Kai nodded.
It truly was like that.
Currently, he and Ling were allies. Looking at the systems within Ling’s territory, although there isn’t a strict rule against exchanging Asia Dors for foreign currency, Myanmar Bank Group’s actions prove that they too value foreign currencies quite a bit.
Others run away after making money because they don’t do much business with Ling. However, we can use our profits to purchase gems and jewelries, as well as fruit wines, and so can Wangsa.
Considering this,
Ling might even want us to participate.
Tang Kai, being a decisive person, immediately responded, "Alright, I agree. We will coborate to form apany. Do you have any ns regarding which constructionpany to acquire?"
"None." Wangsa replied bluntly, not embarrassed at all.
"..." Tang Kai was speechless; Wangsa hade without any preparation at all.
Wangsa, grinning, said, "I just found out about this news and immediately came to find you. However, I do have experience in high-rise construction, and there are quite a few experiencedpanies here in Thand. But if we’re talking about super high-rise construction, you would have to acquire apany from Huaxia.
So my suggestion is that I acquire a high-rise constructionpany from within Thand, and you acquire a super high-rise one from Huaxia since you are more familiar with that area.
Importantly, Ling will definitely import cement from Huaxia. Because the domestic production won’t be nearly enough. You could also acquire a cement factory over there. As long as the price is right, I believe Ling will use it."
"A cement factory?" Tang Kai asked, surprised by the idea of acquiring a cement factory.
Wangsa exined, "Indeed, in Thand, just a moment ago, the Myanmar Bank Group’s procurement department ced a massive order for cement, and I know the demand is still high. This is aboutrge-scale construction on tens of thousands of square kilometers ofnd, and Ling’s building quality requirements are extremely strict.
Among the surrounding areas, only Huaxia can provide that much cement without affecting its construction schedule. This is another opportunity for a profitable business. As for a steel factory, it’s too expensive— we’ll just buy the rebars."
Tang Kai nodded and said, "That makes sense. But I don’t think they’ll start construction right away."
"No, apart from a small portion of the roads being allocated, the amount of work for many projectspletely outstrips the construction capacity of Ling’s territory. Not a single bid has been taken forrge-scale projects—I estimate it will take at least a week or two. We will prepare as if it will happen in one week and promptly acquire the constructionpanies. How about that?" Wangsa was quite impatient.
"Alright, we will register thepany tomorrow. Are you in Bangkok?" Tang Kai asked.
Wangsa smiled and reminded him, "Boss Tang, why do we have to register thepany in Thand? Wouldn’t it be more advantageous to register it in Ling’s territory?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Kai realized that by registering in Ling’s territory, they would be a local enterprise and would therefore have an advantage in the bidding. Heughed heartily and said, "Haha, look at me forgetting these details., alright, I’ll head your way tomorrow. Today, you should familiarize yourself with the registration process since you’re closer. In a few days, when I return to my country, I will sort out the constructionpany."
"Great, I’ll be waiting for you," Wangsa said happily— he had finally pulled Tang Kai onto his bandwagon.
The two ended their call.
And they both began to delegate tasks and set to work right away.
Tang Kai dialed Tao He’s number, asking Sky Eye to promptly investigate constructionpanies and cement factories in Huaxia that met their criteria. Meanwhile, Wangsa got people from his family to handle the construction qualifications in Thand, while he personally went to Xin’an Town to inquire.
Tang Kai even considered bringing Tang Qing on board to earn some ’pocket money’.
After all, as an elder,
Tang Kai was rather worried seeing Tang Qing’spany still struggling to break even, especially when Tang Qing seemed unfazed and kept pumping more money into it. To give Tang Qing some ’pocket money,’ he decided to discuss this matter with him in theing days.
