Chapter 629: Chapter 620: Ning Tong’s Invitation Once Again
The time goes back to this morning.
Last night, Ding Qiang and Wang Xing drank together all night. Since he had decided to take action, how could he not move forward?
In the past, Ding Qiang indeed didn’t think about anything else, but now that his father was gone and it was just him and his mom at home, they had to stand their ground.
So, having made the decision, he naturally wouldn’t procrastinate. After all, Ding Qiang was a man of action, and this morning he went to find Qu Hongfei to discuss this matter.
To say ’discuss,’ actually Ding Qiang just wanted to get closer to Qu Hongfei, visit him often, and while he was at it, see if there were any opportunities for him to slip through.
Rationally speaking, on a legitimate business field, even if Ding Qiang matured overnight, that was just mental maturity in knowing how to conduct himself. As for speaking and handling matters, how could he learn without a mentor? So he was still as green as ever.
If it had been someone else and not Qu Hongfei, they would have probably just scoffed and embarrassed him.
There are countless people who want to make money; why should I support and take care of you? We’re neither family nor friends, and I even helped you before. How does it make sense for you to climb up the pole?
But Qu Hongfei knew that this person before him was related to President Su, and his boss was also very close with President Su, so he gave Ding Qiang a piece of advice.
On one hand, he could offer some convenience from his side; on the other, he told him to feel out President Su’s intentions.
"Brother Fei, I see our project is about to start, and coincidentally, I want to venture into the building materials business. I wonder if you can give me a job to do." Even if he was not used to curry favor with people for the first time, he knew that face means nothing in front of money. With money, who would dare say he lacks face?
Qu Hongfei naturally understood. Although he was a manager on this project with some power, even siblings keep some things to themselves, let alone just an outsider. After all, people’s hearts are hidden under skin; if this kid messes up, wouldn’t the responsibility fall on him?
"Our project is indeed about to start, and I could save some shares for you, but honestly, this project also involves President Su. With your relationship, isn’t it better to find President Su?"
"Qingzi?"
"Yes, even though President Su doesn’t manage this project, he’s also an investor. You wanting to find something to do isn’t just a matter of one word from President Su?
Besides, these shares can be given to anyone. Even without you, they’d go to someone else. Also, your money is not sufficient to take a large share. Flipping funds a few times will give you more capital but for the whole project, it’s just a drop in the ocean. Moreover, this material supply can’t be eaten by just one company. You guys getting a bit of the soup on the side is nothing; it’s no trouble at all."
As an old hand, Qu Hongfei can surely see through Du Qiang’s dilemma? He resolved it in just a few words.
Upon hearing this, Ding Qiang realized his share was so insignificant, plus it would just go to someone else if not him. Why not fight for it?
Also, it’s not like he’s getting benefits without effort; he was going to contribute. And in the building materials sector, without any foundation, the early stages would surely be tough.
With this thought, Ding Qiang felt enlightened. He then sent a message to Wang Xing asking if Su Qing was at the company, arranging for a lunch to talk, which led to this gathering.
Besides, Wang Xing also mentioned wanting to invest, so naturally, they should work together.
Hearing this, Su Qing laughed, pointing at the two of them, "Damn, you’re trying to butter me up now? Watched too much TV and planning to talk business with me, huh?"
"Of course, even though we don’t have your skills, we still can’t miss treating you to this drink, come on, let me toast to President Su." Wang Xing said as he raised his glass.
Su Qing waved his hand in fright, "Get lost, you two drunks trying to get me drunk? You two have no way of talking business like this.
But speaking of it, I do have some shares in that project. But honestly, I don’t understand the twists and turns, and with the capital you guys have, it’s not worth asking Brother Wen for it.
How about this, Da Qiang, your relationship with that Qu Hongfei seems alright? Then later you give me his contact; I’ll thank him and invite him to a meal another day to take care of you two, at least won’t let you suffer losses."
And Old A, why are you holding onto that money? You’re not buying a house, so why don’t you two each put in 300,000, and let’s make some money together? With more funds, you can earn more, don’t worry, this project has sufficient funds, and money is not an issue. Besides, with my relationship, ultimately, you’ll just have to work hard, and as long as you follow the steps, you won’t lose."
Hearing this, Wang Xing agreed without a second thought. He had about a few hundred thousand at hand; the money for the car he bought was enough from stock trading before, and daily expenses for himself and Miaomiao were more than enough, to the point they couldn’t even spend it all. What’s the point of holding onto it?
Plus, this business is approved by Su Qing, so how could he not be tempted? He might not know much else, but he knew that following his brother wouldn’t lead to a loss.
"Why don’t you also put in some money, Qingzi, and we can make this venture a thing for the three of us? Don’t worry, you won’t have to manage; Old A will be at work, so I’ll take care of it alone." Ding Qiang suggested.
If Su Qing was involved, it would be stable.
However, Su Qing declined: "Forget it; I’m an investor; it’s not like I need to do this. Besides, I don’t lack this bit; you two hold onto it. Once it’s set up, Old A, don’t just sit around on holidays; come and help. There’s no free lunch in this world."
Thus the matter was settled. Wang Xing and Ding Qiang found themselves a task, and it’s not too big a deal for him. It’s just a matter of a word, of course, the most crucial thing is how those two manage themselves.
After all, this project would probably last for a year or so; if Ding Qiang wants to continue afterward, it would depend on his own capabilities. He can only help give a good start, after all, no help lasts a lifetime.
The meal went on for over an hour. This was the first gathering of the three since Ding Qiang’s family’s incident, and the atmosphere was quite nice.
Just as they were almost done eating, Su Qing’s phone rang.
"Qingzi, who is it? Gotta be President Shen urgently calling you back for something?" Wang Xing joked.
Hearing this, Su Qing looked at the caller ID and raised an eyebrow. Seeing this, the two couldn’t help but be curious and glanced over, and the next second, both were momentarily stunned.
"Why is she calling you?"
"Yeah, Qingzi, isn’t she married to Zhang Chao?"
Hearing this, Su Qing chuckled and said, "Looks like someone’s ready to send me money."
The caller was none other than Ning Tong.
"Hello, Su Qing, are you free later? My dad wants to meet you."
"Sure, hopefully, Uncle Zhang has thought it through."
"Alright, same place as last time, see you!"
They exchanged a few pleasantries and then hung up.
"Qingzi... this..." Ding Qiang was a bit confused.
"Oh come on, don’t worry, Qingzi is just going to show off. Remember last time at the hospital? Qingzi has been giving that fool Zhang Chao a hard time; I can’t, I have to go too. How can you leave me out of something like this!"
Wang Xing laughed heartily. He knew about Zhang Chao’s family’s submission, as Zhang Chao had contacted him before.
Hearing this, Ding Qiang glanced at his friend: "Qingzi... didn’t make things difficult for you, did they?"
"What kind of ’difficulty’? I’ve told you, Zhang Chao came for me last time, been disliking him for ages, it’s fine, let’s go together" Su Qing said, full of nonchalance.
Hearing this, Ding Qiang nodded.
"Hey, do you have work later? Why don’t you head back?" Su Qing asked Wang Xing with a smile.
"How could I miss this? I’m definitely going. Besides, I’m from the sales department, it’s all about the performance. What’s wrong with going out for business? Come on, let’s go, can’t wait."
