Chapter 626: Manifestation of Reputation

Hangcheng, private club.

Inside the antique private room.

Meng Chuan sat upright, personally pouring a cup of freshly awakened Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao for Tian Chengye opposite him, his posture humble and appropriate.

On that face that always hung with a bit of arrogance, there was now a hint of exhaustion and lingering fear that could not be concealed.

"Director Tian." He pushed the teacup over: "Congratulations, I've heard about the Huineng Electronics matter."

Tian Chengye smiled, picked up the teacup, and blew on the heat lightly: "It can be considered basking in the light of my Jingjing."

His words were filled with emotion and gratification that could not be concealed.

It had been only five short days since that birthday party that changed everything.

Tang Yi Precision had already officially dispatched an expert team to connect, and the preliminary technical cooperation plan had already been placed on his desk.

Even before that, he had quietly completed the repurchase of equity from those two small shareholders who had always been at odds with him at an extremely low price.

Now, his shareholding in Huineng Electronics had exceeded 80%!

He could almost foresee that under the escort of this aircraft carrier, Tang Yi Precision, Huineng Electronics would soar into the sky on the domestic new energy track!

Of course, what also made him excited was.

His daughter Jingjing had also been rearranged by Tang Song, saying she was to join that famous Deju Renhe as a "global special project partner."

After being suppressed for more than half a year, the current Tian Chengye had quite a bit of the high-spirited ambition he had when he started his business twenty years ago.

Meng Chuan sighed along with him, then lowered his voice: "Director Tian, I don't know if you've heard. Conrad—he's in trouble."

"Oh? What happened?"

"Yesterday, BNY Mellon issued an official internal notice. Conrad was stripped of all his duties as VP of the Private Wealth Management Department,"

"and transferred to Johannesburg, Africa, responsible for the connection of basic business there."

The hand Tian Chengye was holding the teacup with paused imperceptibly, an extremely wonderful expression appearing on his face.

For elites of Conrad Mellon's level, this was no longer a simple transfer; it was a complete exile of his career.

"So—" Meng Chuan's posture was extremely low, even carrying a hint of pleading: "Director Tian, I know it's very abrupt to say this. But see if you can help arrange another meeting with Mr. Tang; I want to express my most sincere apologies to him in person."

The reason he asked Tian Chengye out today was to "seek help."

Although Xinghan Investment had a large family and business, it absolutely couldn't withstand that level of dimensionality-reduction strike.

Tian Chengye looked at this "capital prince" who was high-spirited not long ago, now so terrified.

An indescribable feeling surged in his heart.

He put down the teacup and pondered for a moment: "Meng Chuan, I understand your mood very well. Don't worry, I'll keep this matter in mind. I'll find a suitable opportunity to talk to Jingjing and let her try her best to help coordinate."

Getting this answer, Meng Chuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Director Tian. Speaking of which, Director Tian, you really have gained a golden turtle son-in-law!"

Tian Chengye smiled without saying a word.

By now, after several days of crazy fermentation and mutual probing by insiders.

Tang Song's identity was no longer a secret in the eyes of interested people.

After all, the WOFE institution Rongliu Investment was in Yancheng.

And following closely behind, keywords like 【Tang Jin Family Office】, Kate Trust, and the 10-billion-dollar mother fund also surfaced.

The entire chain was connected in an instant.

A chairman of a top Asia-Pacific private equity firm who was under 26, controlled 10 billion US dollars, and had the Kate family and the mysterious "Tang Jin" standing behind him.

Such a true dragon crossing the river had actually been quietly dormant in a place like Yancheng.

In fact, in Tian Chengye's own circle, a monstrous wave had already been set off in the past few days.

I don't know how many people wanted to meet Tang Song through him, but he had been blocking them off for the time being with Huineng Electronics as an excuse.

Walking out of the club and sitting into the black Maybach.

Tian Chengye leaned against the back of the chair, his thoughts still unable to calm down.

After knowing Tang Song's true identity, he had always had a hidden worry, which was how far his daughter and Tang Song could go.

After all, the two were still just boyfriend and girlfriend, far from talking about marriage, and the future was full of too many variables.

Just at this time.

"Buzz buzz buzz—" the phone suddenly vibrated.

Seeing the caller information clearly, Tian Chengye's eyebrows raised.

Chairman and President of Yansheng Bank, Cao Guohua.

Answering the phone, Tian Chengye laughed and spoke first: "Old Cao, why do you have time to call me today?"

He remembered very clearly, last time during the public opinion crisis of Zhongcheng Group, superimposed on the capital black hole of Huineng Electronics.

When he was in dire need of capital support, this old friend had been "on a business trip" for half a month, and his phone couldn't be reached.

Of course, he could also understand.

Banks, after all, send umbrellas on sunny days and collect them on rainy days; it's a matter of course.

Cao Guohua's signature, full-spirited laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Chengye, look at what you're saying, can't I find you, this busy person, to reminisce about the past when I'm free?"

"Always welcome!"

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a few sentences.

Cao Guohua finally cut to the chase: "Old Tian, I heard that the chairman of that famous Rongliu Capital in Xiangjiang,"

"is your son-in-law?"

Tian Chengye understood instantly, but pretended to be modest: "Not to that step yet, just Jingjing's boyfriend."

"Haha, sooner or later! I heard that at the birthday party, he gave Jingjing 200-300 million worth of Jinxiu Trading equity; tsk tsk, what a huge hand!"

Cao Guohua praised on the other end of the phone, then changed the subject.

A hint of unconcealable eagerness appeared in his voice: "Chengye, to tell you the truth, our bank is currently preparing for a new round of capital increase and share expansion, hoping to introduce some strong strategic investors with international backgrounds."

He paused and finally threw out the true intention.

"So I want to ask you, this future father-in-law, to help probe Mr. Tang's tone and see if he has any interest in investing in our Yansheng Bank and becoming our strategic shareholder?"

Tian Chengye held the phone, his brain running at high speed.

But he used a tone that was half-joking and half-embarrassed to prevaricate: "Old Cao, you really have given me a huge problem. I shouldn't interfere too much in the children's affairs, right?"

"Hey, you can't say it like that." Cao Guohua's tone became urgent: "How about this, Old Tian. See when you have time, I'll host, let's have a meal together! By the way, we can also discuss the credit line and interest rate concessions for your Zhongcheng Group in the second half of the year!"

This was a naked interest exchange.

Tian Chengye listened to the obviously lowered posture on the other end of the phone, a sense of refreshing satisfaction like revenge surging in his heart.

This was the effect he wanted!

"Fine, then let's contact again after I finish the Hangcheng matter."

"Alright, it's a deal."

Hanging up the phone.

Tian Chengye leaned against the soft leather seat, looking at the street scene rapidly receding outside the window, and let out a long breath.

His heart was filled with emotion.

The chairman of Rongliu Capital—

Tang Song's reputation, like a giant rock thrown into a calm lake, although it was only a fleeting glimpse, the huge ripples it stirred had already begun to spread rapidly in the top circle of this city.

A 10-billion-dollar-level investment platform, international capital background, and deep connection with top-tier manufacturing (Tang Yi Precision)—

Any one of these keywords was enough to cause local governments and banking institutions to list him as the "number one target" to strive for.

What they valued was the huge political achievements and development potential that Tang Song could bring to this land.

Tang Song himself didn't even need to show his face personally, didn't need to issue any statement.

He only needed to let others know of his existence.

His name, and the 【Rongliu Capital】 behind him, would be like a huge gravitational field, automatically attracting power,

capital, and desire to gather toward him.

"This is true power!" Tian Chengye looked at the street scene rapidly receding outside the window and muttered to himself: "I hope Jingjing can grasp it."

3:00 PM.

Yansheng International Convention and Exhibition Center, 3rd-floor VIP conference hall.

This place gathered more than a dozen selected hard-tech startups and many first-tier investment institutions from within the country.

In the air, there was a tense and excited atmosphere peculiar to project roadshows.

Shen Yu Yan wore a capable professional suit for women and, accompanied by the senior leaders of the organizer, stepped into it gracefully.

Her fresh and beautiful appearance, curvaceous figure, and confident and upright temperament instantly attracted gazes of attention.

She smiled, nodded to the entrepreneurs and investors who took the initiative to come up to show favor, and walked to the position in front of the nameplate printed with 【Rongliu Capital】.

After the roadshow ended three days ago.

【Xinchuang Semiconductor】 and 【Guangyan Technology】 successfully aroused Tang Song's interest.

And today's closed-door docking meeting was for investment institutions and project parties to conduct deeper and more private marriage negotiations.

As a special assistant, she was participating on behalf of Tang Song this time.

When she appeared here, almost everyone cast gazes mixed with awe, enthusiasm, and inquiry toward her.

After all, Rongliu Capital had long since risen to fame and possessed considerable fame on a global scale.

Placed in a second-tier city like Yancheng, it was a true giant.

Just at this time, a slight commotion came from the entrance.

Shen Yu Yan looked up, passed through the crowd, and saw the organizer's general person-in-charge, Zhang Chengguo, personally accompanying a middle-aged man of about fifty, walking straight toward her direction.

Noticing Zhang Chengguo's cautious attitude, Shen Yu Yan's heart jumped, and the most impeccable professional smile instantly hung on her face.

Following closely, the few people had already arrived in front of her.

"President Shen." Zhang Chengguo laughed and said: "Let me introduce you, this is our Yansheng Development and Reform Commission's Li Xindong, Director Li."

Hearing this name, Shen Yu Yan's pupils contracted imperceptibly, and the whole person instantly became spirited.

She took the initiative to step forward, bowed slightly, her voice soft and respectful: "Director Li, hello. I am Shen Yu Yan of Rongliu Capital, very happy to meet you."

As an entrepreneur who walked out of the Yansheng official entrepreneurship base, she naturally knew the weight of the name Li Xindong!

Director of Yansheng Development and Reform Commission, a bureau-level leader, in charge of the province's industrial planning and major project approval power.

At the event of participating in the "Yanzhao Youth Entrepreneurship Support Plan," she had seen the figure of this big shot from afar on the podium.

In the past, she didn't even have the qualifications to contact the other party.

Now, she was introduced and treated so solemnly.

An indescribable emotion, mixed with excitement and trance, drowned her.

"President Shen, truly young and promising." Director Li's tone was gentle but full of penetration: "I just heard from Chengguo that,"

"Rongliu Capital also participated in this 【Yanzhao High-Tech Project Conference】, which shows the importance attached to our Yansheng science and technology innovation industry."

Shen Yu Yan immediately said: "Director Li, you praise me too much. Our President Tang has always emphasized that Yansheng is his hometown and also one of the most important strategic hinterlands for Rongliu Capital in the country in the future. Having the opportunity to contribute to the hometown's technological innovation is our unshirkable responsibility."

Director Li nodded approvingly: "President Tang has heart, and our Yansheng also needs enterprises like Rongliu Capital that have strength and feelings."

The few people exchanged pleasantries for a long while.

Director Li opened his mouth at the appropriate time: "President Shen, why didn't I see President Tang come personally today?"

Shen Yu Yan understood in her heart, but her face remained calm.

She smiled and explained: "President Tang attaches great importance to the two projects 【Xinchuang】 and 【Guangyan】 and has personally reviewed all the core materials. Delegating me to come this time is mainly to represent him and conduct deeper, one-on-one communication with the founders of the two enterprises regarding some cooperation details and future possibilities."

Director Li nodded: "President Shen, to tell you the truth, I came here this time, besides looking at these projects, mainly to invite your President Tang through you. Next Monday, I don't know if President Tang has time; I want to invite him to participate in an internal symposium."

Shen Yu Yan's gaze moved, and she instantly understood.

This was coming for "investment attraction."

Now the entire Yansheng was undergoing industrial transformation and upgrading, urgently needing the injection of capital and technology.

And the 10-billion-dollar mother fund newly established by Rongliu Capital had its core investment direction in new energy, biotechnology, high-end manufacturing, and artificial intelligence.

It perfectly matched Yansheng's future industrial planning.

"Director Li—" Shen Yu Yan's face showed an appropriate look of embarrassment: "Our President Tang just returned to Yansheng not long ago, and his schedule is very full. However, your invitation is really too important; I will contact President Tang immediately to see if we can coordinate the time."

Director Li waved his hand with a smile: "I understand, you ask first, we can adjust according to his time."

Shen Yu Yan bowed, picked up her phone, walked to the corner of the venue, and dialed Tang Song's phone.

She reported the situation concisely.

After exchanging a few words in a low voice, she walked back to Director Li, her face carrying apology and sincerity:

"Director Li, I'm really sorry. I just confirmed with President Tang; he is returning to his hometown in Quancheng tonight to handle some urgent matters, and he has to participate in the alma mater's school anniversary activity next Monday, so he might not be able to return to Yancheng until Tuesday afternoon."

Hearing this, Director Li not only didn't have the slightest disappointment but laughed instead: "No problem, alma mater school anniversary, this is a big event! By the way, I remember your President Tang is from Jingya, Quancheng, right?"

"Yes, this time he is going to participate in the 50th anniversary of Jingya No. 1 High School."

"Haha, being able to cultivate an outstanding talent like President Tang shows that the hometown's water and soil nourish people." Director Li smiled kindly at Shen Yu Yan: "Convey a word to your President Tang for me: school anniversary is a big event, must participate well, and feel the changes in the hometown and alma mater. As for the symposium, no rush, wait until he returns to Yancheng, we can make another appointment anytime."

"Alright, thank you, Director Li."

After exchanging pleasantries cordially for a while, Director Li left the conference room satisfied, accompanied by Zhang Chengguo and others.

Returning to the VIP lounge located on the inner side of the convention center.

The warm smile on Director Li's face faded, replaced by a piece of solemnity and thought.

He gave a low instruction to the secretary beside him.

The secretary understood immediately, picked up the work phone, dialed a number quickly, and then respectfully handed the phone over.

The call was answered quickly.

"Hello, Jiping, how have you been recently?"

"Hehe, it's not an instruction, it's just to communicate with you, and by the way—send you a huge opportunity."

"Recently, a private equity fund in Xiangjiang called Rongliu Capital has had big movements and received a 10-billion-dollar capital injection—the chairman of this company is named Tang Song, who is from your Quancheng Jingya—"

He introduced the situation of Rongliu Capital and Tang Song seriously.

Then he said slowly: "Mayor Jiping, Tang Song is the golden phoenix that flew out of Quancheng; he must have feelings for his hometown. This incense-fire sentiment, your municipal government must catch it."

"I'll give you another bottom line: the 'Star Fall Light Realm' project led by Tang Yi Precision also has Rongliu Capital as one of the main participants, and they are selecting core hardware foundries and supply chain partners nationwide."

In our province, we happen to have the most complete supporting industrial chain for Tang Yi.

If we can keep a part of this project's key production capacity in our Yansheng and form an industrial cluster—you should know better than me how significant this is for the manufacturing upgrading of our entire province."

"I also hope Quancheng can take this opportunity to promote industrial structure adjustment—."

Songmei Apparel, T2 live broadcast room.

The live broadcast was in full swing.

Unlike the "exclusive live broadcast room" of He Yiyi, which was like a luxury walk-in closet, the design of the T2 live broadcast room had a more professional live broadcast atmosphere.

Ring fill lights cast light evenly from all around, the huge high-definition LED background wall cut to the brand's main visual in real-time, the mechanical arm gimbal cameras on the left and right sides moved slowly to capture images from different angles, and there was also a long track dolly camera in front of the stage responsible for "following" close-ups.

Lights, lenses, and the director's console cooperated seamlessly.

In front of the lens.

Li Wang Qingya wore a 【HEYISTUDIO】 coat, professionally explaining the count of the fabric, the details of the tailoring,

and how to wear completely different styles through different inner wear.

Gao Mengting, who was beside her, played the role of a "best friend," chatting with Li Wang Qingya about dressing tips with a smile, and from time to time, she would pick up different inner wear and walk into the simple fitting room on the side for quick dressing.

Her well-proportioned figure and beautiful appearance were very eye-catching.

This partner seemed to enjoy the feeling of guest-starring in the live broadcast very much.

In the shadow of the corner of the live broadcast room, Tang Song stood quietly.

His gaze passed through the busy operation team and fell on the real-time scrolling data screen.

Li Wang Qingya said loudly:

"Alright sisters, I know you've been waiting for a long time! What's going to be put on the shelves next is the city windbreaker with the highest return call for HEYISTUDIO! And this time, we listened to everyone's suggestions and made a small upgrade and revision to the details—"

As soon as she finished speaking, the operation team tacitly put the product link on the shelves.

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was pushed to a small climax.

At the same time.

"Brush!" The system light screen automatically unfolded in front of Tang Song.

Lines of text jumped out.

【November 17, 2023, the team you lead successfully broke through the milestone of monthly sales exceeding 100 million.】

【Through a perfect supply chain system, a healthy account matrix layout, and effective team management and equity incentives, you successfully forged Songmei Apparel into a mature enterprise with strong self-generating capabilities—】

【At this moment, standing on top of the fruitful results, feeling the confidence and cohesion radiating from the team from the inside out—you felt a huge sense of achievement.】

【You completed Plan Task 2: Performance Explosion】

【You unlocked the achievement "100 Million Club"】

【You received the reward: Charm +1, Comprehension +1, Enterprise Opportunity Card *1】

Tang Song only felt a burst of clarity in his head, and his thinking seemed to be faster.

He looked at the text on the light screen and looked up again at the colleagues in the live broadcast room who were still busy focusing.

A calm and profound joy and ambition surged slowly in his chest.

Finally completed.

This company, created by his own hands, realized a monthly GMV of over 100 million on this seemingly ordinary Friday night.

The rewards were also extremely generous, not only with precious charm and comprehension improvements but also an 【Enterprise Opportunity Card】.

The last time this card brought about a "heaven-sent encounter" with Bei Yuwei, and finally promoted the explosion of He Yiyi's IP.

And this time, what kind of surprise would it bring?

Open the system interface and check personal information.

【Player: Tang Song (86 Charm)】

【Role: Songmei Apparel - President】

【Height: 185CM, Weight: 80KG】

【Constitution: 83, Stamina: 84, Agility: 82, Comprehension: 86】

After continuously completing the two tasks of 【Control Annie】 and 【Performance Explosion】, his charm value directly reached 86 points; only 4 points remained until the next node.

He exhaled lightly.

Tang Song closed the system interface.

He raised his wrist to check the time.

The reason he waited until this time was to witness with his own eyes this historical achievement of 【Songmei Apparel】 breaking through the monthly sales of 100 million yuan.

The white moonlight should be almost home by now.

Tang Song's gaze gradually softened.

Since graduating from high school, the two hadn't been back to the No. 1 High School campus together.

Going back this time, he must let the white moonlight wear a high school uniform and tie up a high ponytail to fiercely make up for his regrets. ===== CHAPTER 627 =====
