Chapter 1946: The Unreconciled Liu Wei

Seeing Jian Qiu kissed Zhou Andong on the lips, her eyes filled with deep, inseparable tenderness.

"A billion USD, you won't regret it?"

Zhou Andong laughed. "Someone will help us pay this money."

"Someone will help us pay?" Seeing Jian Qiu asked, confused. "Who would give us a billion USD?"

"The Japanese!"

Seeing Jian Qiu knew Zhou Andong had been making moves recently, targeting Sony, but she didn't know the specifics.

Zhou Andong explained the situation regarding Sony and over a dozen other Japanese companies involved in fraud.

"Last October, Xiangjiang Qiudongfang and Jiandong International made over 6 billion in the sugar market, and the Japanese cake is much bigger than the sugar market.

It's hard to say exactly how much we can make, but it definitely won't be less than what we made in the sugar market last year. Taking out a billion to help the country research the space station is a small matter.

Moreover, this matter was just reported today. It will definitely ferment in a couple of days. When we announce the donation of a billion USD to the country for space station research, it will definitely cause a sensation.

A billion USD is indeed a lot, and it's a significant donation, but for us, it's also a good opportunity for publicity."

"Husband, why do I like you so much?" Seeing Jian Qiu rubbed Zhou Andong's face hard. "Is this money being donated in the name of the company or in your personal name?"

Zhou Andong pondered for a moment, then asked Seeing Jian Qiu, "What do you think?"

"I'm more inclined toward you donating in your personal name," Seeing Jian Qiu said with a smile. "If the donation is in the name of a company, whether it's the group, the distillery, or Xurishang, who can take out a billion USD?

If Xiangjiang Qiudongfang or Jiandong International donated directly, it wouldn't achieve the publicity effect. Besides a limited few, who knows that these two foreign companies are yours?

If the money is remitted to the Yugong Group, in what name would it be remitted? Investment or loan? No matter the name, it's very troublesome.

But it's different if you donate in your personal name; you can transfer the money directly to the designated account. Moreover, the whole country knows who you are. Donating in your personal name can not only increase the company's visibility but also enhance your personal reputation."

"My wife is still the smart one." Zhou Andong laughed heartily. "The matter of being rejected from joining the International Space Station will definitely be a topic of public opinion for a while. When it cools down, the operations in Japan should also be over. Announcing the donation then will definitely cause a huge sensation."

Last year, the so-called rich list had the richest person with a net worth of only over 600 million, and that was in RMB.

Zhou Andong, however, donated a billion USD at once, which is equivalent to donating the net worth of more than ten of the richest people.

If this couldn't cause a huge sensational effect, then it would really be hell.

"There's one more thing." Seeing Jian Qiu leaned against Zhou Andong's chest. "For the design of the China Tower, Uncle An pulled Xiao Qin into the project team.

It's mainly for learning and participation, but I think she will be credited in the end. After all, you are the client, and she is your own sister. Setting aside Uncle An's relationship, other cooperative units will definitely give this face."

Zhou Andong said, "I have thought about letting Xiao Qin participate in the China Tower design. The reason I didn't greet Uncle An is because I knew Uncle An would pull Xiao Qin into the project team.

As for the credit, I hadn't thought about that. After all, Xiao Qin will only be a sophomore next year; she has plenty of time and plenty of opportunities. However, if Xiao Qin can be credited, that's naturally a good thing.

The title of one of the designers of the China Tower carries significant weight. In the future, whether Xiao Qin is pursuing a master's degree or being evaluated, having this experience will definitely yield twice the result with half the effort."

"I think Uncle An should be thinking the same thing." Seeing Jian Qiu nodded. "That's why he pulled Xiao Qin into the project team."

"By the way!" Zhou Andong said mysteriously. "I just made five yuan."

"You—made five yuan?" Seeing Jian Qiu didn't react for a moment. "What do you mean?"

"Before you came back, a group of students ran to Anqiu Hutong..." Zhou Andong explained the matter. "I took a photo with that little girl and made five yuan."

Seeing Jian Qiu said with a smile, "Did you take the photo because you saw that the little girl was pretty?"

"Slander! Your words are a pollution to my pure soul." Zhou Andong said righteously. "Which woman is pretty enough to be prettier than my wife?"

"You're the only one who can talk." Seeing Jian Qiu tilted her head and rolled her eyes at Zhou Andong. "Didn't you notice that the little girl recognized you?"

"How could I not have noticed?" Zhou Andong said, tucking Seeing Jian Qiu's scattered hair behind her ear. "The camera that little girl was holding looked expensive at a glance.

Even if it was borrowed, one must have the ability and connections to borrow it, so that little girl definitely isn't short of money. But not being short of money doesn't mean she's stupid enough to take five yuan to take a photo with a cleaner who looks like Zhou Andong."

Speaking of this, Zhou Andong chuckled. "But in the end, she really took out five yuan to take a photo with me, which proves she recognized me.

It's just that the little girl didn't expose me in public; not only is she a bit smart, but she also has a bit of a scheme."

The two leaned against each other on the sofa, chatting, the atmosphere quite warm and sweet.

At the same time, in that small villa halfway up Xishan, Liu Wei sat on the sofa with a livid face.

The expression on Liu Hanhai's face was very calm, and one couldn't tell what he was thinking; he remained silent.

"Click!"

Liu Wei took a lighter to light a cigarette and took a fierce drag.

"Fourth Uncle, I really didn't expect to lose so miserably, to be kicked off the table, and to lose to that mud-legged Zhou Andong. I'm really not reconciled."

Liu Hanhai let out a long breath. "I felt that today's meeting wouldn't be simple, but I didn't expect us to be kicked off the table."

Liu Wei stood up abruptly and paced the living room twice.

"Fourth Uncle, we can't just swallow this loss; we must find a way to get back at them, otherwise where will the Liu family's face go?"

Liu Hanhai also picked up the cigarette on the coffee table and lit it. "This loss, we really have to swallow it dry, and you have to call back the investigation team in Jiangzhou immediately. If we wait for the leaders of the General Logistics Department to notify us to return, we'll be in trouble."

Liu Wei's face twisted, his teeth biting hard on the cigarette filter. "Is there really no way at all? Even if we can't flip the table, we can't let Zhou Andong have it easy."

"Don't you see it clearly yet?" Liu Hanhai said, somewhat disappointed in his nephew. "In this card game, Zhou Andong has always been the dealer, but in the end, he didn't sit at the card table. There's a big problem here."

"What big problem could there be?" Liu Wei snorted. "He can be the dealer because he blocked the listing of Zhongbao, which is the result of the General Logistics Department's compromise. Do you really think he's qualified to sit at the card table?" ===== CHAPTER 1947 =====
