Chapter 742

Qingfeng Shan Zhuang, Tang Qingquan, who had just been released after much difficulty, was enjoying a massage from two sexy female attendants in the sauna together with Wu Jingzhong, when a sudden urgent knocking interrupted his mood.

"President Tang, how is the environment of Qingfeng Shan Zhuang getting worse and worse?" President Wu complained to Tang Qingquan beside him, clearly displeased.

"President Wu, calm down. I'll go see who's causing trouble without eyes." Tang Qingquan was equally annoyed. He quickly got up, put on his clothes, and had the female attendant open the door.

As soon as the door opened, a plump figure appeared before everyone's eyes.

Upon seeing the visitor, Tang Qingquan's face darkened further. 'Vice President Sun, when did it become your turn to run Qingfeng Shan Zhuang?'

The visitor was none other than Sunpeng, the vice president of S Company. Seeing Tang Qingquan's unpleasant expression, he apologetically said, 'President Tang, President Wu, sorry to disturb your rest. But I truly have an urgent matter to discuss with you!'

Tang Qingquan frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, 'What is it?'

Sunpeng immediately said, 'The racing game developed by Three Stone Technology Company is about to enter internal testing, and it's heard they've spent fifty million on promotion. Now major domestic gaming sites are heavily recommending their game.'

Upon hearing this, Tang Qingquan's face instantly turned grim. 'Vice President Sun, what does a game released by Three Stone Technology have to do with me?!'

Sunpeng said anxiously, 'President Tang, this game from Three Stone Technology is specifically launched to counter our company's Kart Racer. If it becomes popular, Kart Racer's performance will surely suffer. You and President Wu are both shareholders of S Company—how can you stand by while they seize our market?'

Tang Qingquan, having been confined twice, now finds his biggest annoyance to be his involvement with Chen Yang. He turned directly to Wu Jingzhong and asked, 'President Wu, what do you think?'

President Wu said nonchalantly, 'I only hold a small stake in S Company; even if it went bankrupt, it would just be a limit‑down loss in the stock market. Such a tiny amount of money, I haven't even taken notice of it.'

Seeing that President Wu also had no intention of provoking Chen Yang, Tang Qingquan coldly told Vice President Sun, 'President Wu's attitude is mine as well. Let me remind you once more: if you continue to act without propriety, the gates of Qingfeng Shan Zhuang will be permanently closed to you.'

Sunpeng's face shifted from disappointment to terror in an instant; after uttering a string of apologies, he fled Qingfeng Shan Zhuang in a sorry state.

He couldn't understand why Tang Qingquan and President Wu, who clearly disliked Chen Yang, had suddenly changed their attitude.

Meanwhile, while he was puzzling over this, the two in the sauna room resumed enjoying the service of the female attendants.

"President Wu, during the time I was confined, what exactly did you discuss with Chen Yang? I feel you've completely changed." Tang Qingquan looked at President Wu doubtfully. He dared not provoke Chen Yang again due to his family's reasons, but President Wu's background meant he had no need to fear the Wang family at all. He couldn't understand why the other party had changed his attitude.

"He recommended I buy Maotai stock. I thought he was setting a trap for me, so I ignored him. As a result, it has now doubled." President Wu sighed gloomily. Initially he also didn't accept Chen Yang's title of "Stock God," using various means to thwart him. He hadn't expected that Chen Yang would not only refrain from retaliation but also point him toward a lucrative path.

Compared like this, his breadth of vision is indeed inferior to the other's.

Of course, what he regrets most is not having followed Chen Yang's advice to buy a large amount of Maotai stock, which has cost him at least a hundred million in income.

"President Wu, although I dislike Chen Yang a lot, that guy's insight into the stock market is indeed quite good." Tang Qingquan also sighed. He understands Chen Yang's terror better than Wu Jingzhong does. That man is immune to the lethality of Financial Paraquat!

If I had known beforehand that the other party's life was this tough, even if beaten to death I wouldn't go looking for trouble.

At that moment, Wu Jingzhong suddenly called off the massage from the beautiful waitress, and solemnly said to Tang Qingquan: 'General Manager Wang, you're quite familiar with the boss of Three Stone Technology, right? Could you help pass along a message, just say I want to invest in their company.'

Tang Qingquan immediately understood the meaning, and said somewhat hesitantly: 'President Wu, if you want to get closer to Chen Yang, you can just go find him directly. Why bother with such a complicated procedure?'

Wu Jingzhong laughed and said: 'General Manager Tang, you don't understand this, do you? If you go directly to Chen Yang, the probability of him refusing is high. But if you invest in Three Stone Technology, this is a matter between me and Wang Lei; even if he has ideas, he cannot openly interfere.'

Tang Qingquan looked at Wu Jingzhong, puzzled, and said: 'President Wu, do you really think so highly of that racing game from Three Stone Technology?'

Wu Jingzhong said confidently: 'Although I haven't played this game, the fact that it can make S Company feel a strong sense of crisis definitely means it has something special.'

Moreover, Chen Yang's investments so far have never missed. He put in a lot of effort to create this game; the fifty million yuan promotion cost is probably just an appetizer, and there will surely be bigger moves later. If we get in late, we'll probably only be able to watch the excitement.

Upon hearing that, Tang Qingquan immediately took out his phone and dialed Wang Lei's number.

……

At the Ordinary People's Financial Investment Company, Chen Yang was playing the Extreme Speed Racing game when the office door was suddenly pushed open.

He looked up and saw Wang Lei walking in with a worried expression, so he casually asked: 'General Manager Wang, is there something wrong with the promotion?'

Wang Lei shook his head, sighed again, hesitated for a while, then said to Chen Yang: 'Director Chen, the General Manager Tang of East Prosperity International just called, saying that he and a friend named Wu Jingzhong want to invest in our company. I can't afford to offend the Tang Family, so I wanted to ask your opinion.'

Chen Yang smiled and said to him: 'If the company wants to grow, the more investors the better. As long as they are willing to put up real money, I am very welcoming.'

Wang Lei said rather glumly: 'We put in so much preparation work early on, and finally we were about to see results, but they, relying on a bit of family influence, just want to swoop in and take the ready-made fruits. This is too bullying!'

Chen Yang did not agree with Wang Lei's view, and he soothed him: 'General Manager Wang, many of our competitors also have official backgrounds. If we don't let the Tang Family in, wanting Extreme Speed Racing to become the leader in racing games would also be difficult. Even if we eventually succeed, the cost would be immeasurable.'

'Making games, the ultimate goal is to make money. A game that doesn't make money, even if it becomes popular worldwide, is a failure.'

Seeing that Chen Yang did not reject Tang Qingquan, Wang Lei felt relieved. He then asked doubtfully: 'President Chen, you and the Tang Family have been at odds in Modu to such an extent; even if you want to cooperate with official capital, you shouldn't be dealing with them, right?'

Chen Yang smiled and said: 'This world has no eternal enemies, only common interests. As long as the Tang Family does nothing that harms the company's interests, they can become business partners.'

'Besides, your family's foundation is in Modu; I also couldn't, for my own selfish reasons, put you in a dilemma.'

Upon hearing that, Wang Lei expressed his thanks gratefully. If he really offended the Tang Family, his own family would likely directly cut ties with him.
