Chapter 930: Chapter 899: Soliciting, A Brilliant Proposal
Huo Yingjie looked at the visitor and smiled, "Uncle Xiao Si, how come you have time to drop by?"
Tang Qian felt somewhat embarrassed, but thinking of the excellent opportunity, he chuckled and said, "Hehe, since you’ve asked, I won’t beat around the bush. No one visits without a reason! I have something to discuss, so I’ll just get to the point."
"Go ahead," Huo Yingjie said, adding that he might not help even if Tang Qian spoke—he still remembered that Tang Qian was a playboy.
"I heard that Fuxi Automobile has already started production over in Nan City and is now looking for dealerships. I’ve been seeking new projects lately, so when I heard the news, I came to probe a bit." Tang Qian spoke strategically, though, in truth, he had already found out what he needed to know. He was essentially here to pay his respects and work the relationship, hoping to secure the dealership rights.
So, it was about that!
"What are your advantages?" Huo Yingjie asked. Tang Qian was indeed wealthy, but he was also notorious for his romantic escapades with countless women.
However, that didn’t matter. It’s alright if you’re competent.
Tang Qian’s eyes lit up upon hearing Huo Yingjie’s question.
There was a chance!
"Yingjie, look, I can do business. I managed everything well in the past, proving my ability," Tang Qian said. "Besides, compared to others, I have connections in Yanjing and am familiar with business rules."
Huo Yingjie pondered for a moment and then nodded, "You are indeed talented, everyone knows this."
"Hehe, thanks." Tang Qian didn’t dare act arrogantly in front of Huo Yingjie. "The businesses I’ve had before, I gave them all to my ex-wife. And I don’t want to be involved in industries related to her, so I want to find new projects to work on."
Huo Yingjie actually approved of Tang Qian’s approach. If you cut ties, then do it completely.
"Oh, for such projects, with your abilities, you could directly find the concerned parties," Huo Yingjie said. "The Qi Family is in Yanjing."
"Hehe, although the Qi Family is involved, I also know your wife is a stakeholder, and she might be the main person in charge in Yanjing," Tang Qian said. "You are He Tiantian’s husband, and I haven’t had the best reputation. Before approaching He Tiantian, it’s only proper for me to discuss it with you to avoid any misunderstandings!"
He did have some self-awareness!
"Hehe, you do think things through," Huo Yingjie chuckled. Seeking the Qi Family directly wouldn’t be as effective; they treat all potential partners equally, regardless of any ties to the Tang family. But starting through He Tiantian is different.
Perhaps one could say that convincing He Tiantian would mean achieving twice the result with half the effort!
After all, this is about a key dealership, and it must have He Tiantian’s approval because she will be the one managing it later.
In contrast, the Qi Family would return to Nan City after settling these matters.
"I’m looking for a good project, and since we know each other, I thought I’d give it a try here," Tang Qian said. "Yingjie, if you agree, could you possibly introduce me to some connections?"
If Huo Yingjie was unwilling, Tang Qian would have to find another way.
Huo Yingjie thought about it. Since He Tiantian was currently very busy, he nodded, "Alright, you can stay for dinner, and later you can share your ideas and preparations with Tiantian. As for whether you can become a dealer, you will still have to pass an assessment."
"Thank you." Tang Qian smiled, eager to get started. "I will definitely work hard. Thanks, Yingjie."
Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "No need to thank me."
The two then began to discuss other matters, enjoying the conversation.
Today, He Tiantian got home early, thinking that she hadn’t dined with her family for several days. When she arrived, the child was already asleep.
Ah, career is important, but so is family.
On the drive home, He Tiantian was thinking about whether she should find an assistant. Let the assistant get busy, and she could focus on the overall direction without handling the trivial matters.
When she arrived home and saw there was a guest, she looked closely—it was Tang Qian!
"We have guests?" He Tiantian smiled. "Hehe, Young Master Si Tang, what brings you to my place? Oh, I heard yesterday that Ning Huihui, one of your past flings, went to shoot a movie. Why didn’t you see her off?"
He Tiantian had a poor impression of those who engaged in promiscuous relationships.
"Hehe, my dear niece-in-law, I was wrong before, but I’ve reformed now. I’m divorced from my ex-wife, leaving with nothing; Ning Huihui and I had a thing, and although she had some ulterior motives, I still can’t ignore her. After the breakup, I helped her career-wise, and now we go our separate ways," Tang Qian explained awkwardly, now considering his past behavior embarrassingly-rash.
In front of his juniors, he had lost all face.
But to secure a new project, he had to swallow his pride.
"Hey, what you do is your business, just don’t bother others with it," He Tiantian said. "Young Master Si Tang, you’re a busy man. You wouldn’t come without a reason, so what do you need from my husband Yingjie?"
Get it over with quickly and leave sooner.
Tang Qian, feeling a bit embarrassed, chuckled and said, "Tiantian, I was wrong before, but I’ve reformed now. Today, I came to visit Yingjie; besides, I wanted to discuss a potential partnership with you."
"Partnership?" He Tiantian was surprised. "Are you interested in my braised meat shop or my studio?"
Tang Qian smiled and handed over a folder. "These are my prepared materials. Have a look."
He Tiantian took them and began to read, taken aback.
"This... You want to be a Fuxi Automobile dealer?" He Tiantian asked, surprised as she continued to read.
Tang Qian nodded. "Yes, my plan is outlined there."
He Tiantian was silent, reading on.
He Tiantian was no longer the naïve owner of a small braised meat shop from her previous life. After years of experience, she had become a shrewd businesswoman.
Although her business wasn’t large, it had been enough to train He Tiantian.
After carefully examining the material, He Tiantian looked up and asked, "Uncle Xiao Si, where did you get the half million on here? Weren’t you left with nothing after your divorce?"
Tang Qian was startled for a moment, then chuckled, "I, Tang Qian, keep my word. I gave all my marital assets to my ex-wife, but the half million was a loan to a friend before I got married. He got into business and has only recently paid me back. This money shouldn’t be part of the divorce settlement."
"I see," He Tiantian smiled. "Uncle Xiao Si, it’s no wonder you’re a successful businessman, otherwise you wouldn’t have been able to run the business so well. I noticed your proposal looks pretty solid. As for the location, I’m not familiar with Yanjing; let’s go have a look together when I’m free. Also, if you’re available tomorrow, I can introduce you to the Qi Family Siblings, and we can all have a good talk then."
Tang Qian had come for exactly this reason.
He Tiantian didn’t have a close relationship with Tang Qian, but agreeing to this much was due to the impressiveness of his proposal.
