The next day.
The seventh day of the first lunar month.
The Spring Festival holiday had ended for many people. Before dawn, Qin Yugang boarded Tang Qing’s airplane to the Province City. As the district governor, the start of the new year greeted him with a schedule full of etings that would stretch to the end of the month.
At the provincial level.
At the municipal level.
At the district level.
Fortunately, Qin Yugang had already adapted. As long as he could identify the key priorities in his work, it wouldn’t be too hard. Problems that seed insurmountable for many people were almost trivial for Qin Yugang.
Attracting investnt?
He chuckled.
No matter what currency was needed, his nephew could get it for him.
As for career advancent?
No need.
He was already promoted quickly and exceptionally; there was no hope for a change in position in the short term. At most, he might get a lateral transfer. What he wanted most now was to improve the district’s economy and benefit more people.
What he lacked now.
First, was the improvent of his own abilities.
Second, the establishnt of solid political achievents.
...
At the manor.
Wan Qing Mining was hosting its first video conference of the new year.
"..."
"Chairman, last year, we secured loans totaling 5.7 billion USD from South Africa Standard Bank, HSBC, Huaxia Industrial and Comrcial Bank, and Myanmar Bank. Of this, 3.2 billion USD was used for acquisitions..."
The year 2007.
Wan Qing Mining made significant moves.
Following the acquisitions of iron and gold mines in Algeria, copper mines in Italy, as well as other minerals secured jointly with Chai Ren, the company had started a snowballing strategy in Africa and other regions.
Buy a mine—take out a loan—buy another mine.
In addition to mining.
Mine equipnt and slting factories also fell under their business scope. The achievents of the Wan Qing Industrial Park were rely one of last year’s focus areas, though it was undeniably an important one.
However.
Tang Qing still held back.
Don’t forget.
He had a "Global Mining Alliance Plan." Wan Qing Mining was only a part of the plan—not even a core component. Therefore, there was no need for Wan Qing Mining to stockpile too many minerals.
Because demand dictates everything.
If there’s no use for sothing.
It’s no different than dirt on the ground.
"This year’s company goals mainly include developing essential infrastructure at existing mining fields, internal adjustnts, and maintaining stability amidst the financial crisis, during which many may struggle," Tang Qing said to Qu Shan.
"Yes, Chairman," Qu Shan nodded.
At present.
Apart from the Wan Qing Industrial Park.
Other industries were both assets and liabilities. To fend off potential shocks, it was better to exercise caution this year. Thankfully, with Tang Qing as the boss, Wan Qing Mining wouldn’t be pushed toward the abyss by its debt scale.
...
"...In the photovoltaic sector, we already possess the most advanced technology. Based on last year’s signed contracts of intent, the Photovoltaic Division’s estimated total revenue for 2008 will exceed 10 billion USD."
"Of this, 70% will co from large-scale projects, while 30% will co from small-scale products. From growth trends, small photovoltaic devices show a sharper increase compared to large projects."
"Additionally, orders for military-grade photovoltaic projects are starting to rise, mainly from Europe and North Africa. Both regions have always been key markets for our business, especially countries like Saudi Arabia, where considerable potential remains untapped."
"..."
"Chairman, the press conference for the holographic imaging project has been finalized. It will be held in downtown Seattle, with invitations sent to global dia outlets and industry experts. The venue setup has already begun."
"Three days ago, several major underwriters sent us letters indicating their intent to exercise the overallotnt option to increase shares by 5% or even more. Per your instructions, I declined their request."
Speaking of this.
Zhou You couldn’t hide his excitent.
His billionaire dream wasn’t far away.
The overallotnt option.
It symbolized the confidence investors had in Microcrystalline Technology.
...
"Directors, Jinghua Real Estate’s projected revenue for this year is expected to exceed 100 billion RMB. The growth primarily cos from the mid-range property market, as villa sales show no significant acceleration."
"We anticipate that major cities will enter a new wave of housing price surges, with second- and third-tier cities also seeing interconnected increases, driving up mid- to high-end property prices further."
"In preparation for this, the company has completed extensive research in major cities and provincial capitals, planning to increase land acquisitions by 40% compared to last year."
"Additionally, alongside developing mid- to high-end residential properties, we are accelerating Jinghua Square’s nationwide expansion, increasing self-operated hotel counts, integrating property managent, and introducing high-quality rchants..."
In the study room.
Tang Qing listened absentmindedly.
This was Jinghua Real Estate’s board eting. The four shareholders had all gathered, but Tang Qing only held a quarter of the shares. For the next few years, it was all about compounding without dividends, leaving him sowhat uninterested.
However.
The other three shareholders were still listening intently.
"Very good."
"Good."
"..."
After the holiday.
Tang Qing seed to have daily major etings—a mix of companies he controlled and those he shared holdings in. This was far from over—he still had to personally attend the upcoming etings of Cot Group and Qingyuan Technology to arrange the start-of-year tasks.
Reflecting on the year’s achievents.
Inspiring at the start of the year.
As a boss.
This was an unavoidable part of the job.
Fortunately.
So companies with fighters occupying higher managent positions spared him from attending. One was QingYang Audio, whose upper managent comprised exclusively fighters, and the other was Hummingbird Comrcial Storage and Transportation Group, which hadn’t yet introduced external personnel into its senior managent.
On the first floor of the manor.
Two adult n were lost in thought.
One was Tang Qing’s father.
One was Tang Kai.
A stack of textbooks was spread out in front of them.
"The boundless grasses of the plain, they grow, they wither, year by year. Wildfires cannot destroy them; with the spring wind, they thrive once more. Haha, I still rember this one," Tang Qing’s father said.
