Chapter 291: Be My Little Brother

"Young Master Zheng, this is an apology gift I have prepared for you. Please, do accept it."

"Yes, yes, yes, I have prepared one as well!"

At Zheng Qian's level, what couldn't he afford to buy?

He didn't need any gifts at all.

But they still had to send them.

Isn't there a saying: you don't remember what you've given, but you remember for a lifetime what you haven't?

How could they not send anything!

"This is a villa estate I own at Beiyan Lake in Jiangnan. Please keep the keys safe!"

Chairman Zhu Hongfu took out the villa estate he had treasured for a long time—one he couldn't even bear to stay in himself—and gifted it to Zheng Qian.

This type of villa spanned an area larger than several football fields combined and was custom-built by top Italian designers.

The total cost came to approximately 2 billion!

Lin Chengye had originally prepared a villa as well, but it couldn't compare to Chairman Zhu Hongfu's.

He took out his collection of sports cars instead to gift to Zheng Qian.

"Young Master Zheng, I purchased a Lamborghini Veneno K from the manufacturer; there is only one in the world. I haven't even registered the license plates yet; it is absolutely brand new!"

The Lamborghini Veneno K was leagues above a standard Veneno; it was equipped with the best of everything.

Besides that, both men took out a bank card and placed them on the table.

"This is a small token of our respect. We hope Young Master Zheng will not be angry."

The two bank cards each contained 1 billion in cash.

A ripple of emotion stirred within Zheng Qian.

He had only intended to scare them a little, but he hadn't expected to force out so many valuable items.

2 billion in cash, a top-tier villa in Jiangnan, and a Lamborghini Veneno K.

Good heavens.

Is this what high society is like?

No, can't break character and laugh!

Zheng Qian accepted them with great composure.

Seeing Zheng Qian accept the gifts, Chairman Zhu Hongfu and Lin Chengye finally breathed a small sigh of relief.

However, the heavy stone in their hearts had not yet landed.

Because Zheng Qian was simply too calm.

It was as if Zheng Qian already possessed all these things.

They were completely unremarkable to him!

For ordinary people, these were the goals of a lifetime of hard work.

Zheng Qian's attitude was indifferent and relaxed.

It was as if the top-tier Jiangnan villa were just a pile of broken bricks and tiles.

The one-of-a-kind Veneno K was just a pile of scrap metal.

I have better versions of these things than you do!

Most people, when receiving gifts, would be hesitant and shy about accepting them.

But Zheng Qian accepted them without a second thought, and even with a look of disdain.

Is this what the top young master of Kyushu is like?

The demeanor Zheng Qian displayed made the two men even more certain of their thoughts.

"If there's nothing else, you can leave. I still want to listen to some music!"

"Don't ruin my mood."

"Yes, yes, yes. We'll leave right now!"

The two men exchanged glances and, after delivering their gifts, very tactfully left the KTV private room.

The entire room was silent as cicadas in winter.

No one dared to easily break this highly intimidating silence.

"Oh, right."

Zheng Qian spoke first.

"Little Fan, Little Zhang."

"How do you plan to develop in the future?"

Fan Minxue and Zhang Lekang had been buttering him up for so long; if he didn't give them some benefits, Zheng Qian would feel a bit bad.

He currently owned three cruise ships and one modern merchant vessel.

Excluding the original profits of The Group, Qianhe Group, Zheng Qian had hundreds of billions in cash lying in his personal account, ready to be deployed at any time.

It was time for the scale of Qianhe Group to expand.

Is it finally our turn?

"Young Master Zheng, I'll listen to you!"

"Young Master Zheng, however you want me to develop, that's how I'll develop!"

How could the two of them dare to speak out of turn!

Since Zheng Qian asked like this, he must have his own plans.

If they didn't listen, Zheng Qian might just beat them until they did.

It was better to just obey Zheng Qian directly; they could even earn a reputation for being obedient and sensible.

"How many cargo ships do the two of you have combined?"

"If I recall correctly, it's over 30, right?"

Zheng Qian recalled an analysis report.

Cold sweat broke out on both men.

It was indeed over 30 ships.

Zheng Qian might have already formulated a plan to deal with them.

Otherwise, how could he have investigated so clearly?

"Young Master Zheng, the two of us combined should have 34 cargo ships. In which direction would you like us to develop?"

Zheng Qian rubbed his chin.

He hadn't really thought it through yet.

He heard news from Yezhou that shipping capacity was insufficient.

"How about this: do you have any plans to restructure?"

Restructure?

Restructure into what?

The two men had been in the shipping business for half their lives and only really knew about the sea.

"Zhang Lekang, didn't you always want the operating rights for a cruise ship?"

"I will give you the platinum princess, with a 50/50 split of the profits."

"But you must hand over 70% of Kangming Shipping's shares and be incorporated under Qianhe Group."

Kangming Shipping was only slightly larger than Yamei Shipping, with a market value of a few hundred million.

Using 70% of the shares to exchange for the operating rights of a cruise ship, and with a 50/50 split at that.

This deal was simply too profitable!

Zhang Lekang had long intended to get into the cruise ship business.

Cruise ships were great!

Good money, less work, world travel, and the ability to socialize with wealthy individuals.

If this deal were put on the market, who knows how many people would fight tooth and nail for it.

Zhang Lekang didn't even think about it and agreed immediately.

"The jiuzhou dream is slightly larger than the platinum princess and has a different style, which can be experienced by those foreign friends."

"If you agree to manage the cruise ship, you must hand over 5% more shares than Little Zhang, which means handing over 75% of your shares to Qianhe Group, and you must also be incorporated under Qianhe Group."

Changsong Shipping was slightly larger than Kangming Shipping.

But this deal was still profitable!

Do it!

With the big tree of Zheng Qian to rely on, they would definitely make more money in the future than they did running their enterprises alone.

Given Zheng Qian's development trend, it was estimated that it wouldn't be long before he became the top dog of Kyushu shipping.

Rather than being annexed later, it was better to surrender early and join Zheng Qian's ranks.

Fan Minxue also agreed.

Zheng Qian nodded with satisfaction.

The cruise ship operation was resolved.

Fan Minxue and Zhang Lekang were also taken on as underlings.

The beauties nearby were dizzy from listening to this.

In just a few words, they had concluded a deal worth hundreds of millions!

"Alright then, let's leave it at that for tonight."

Zheng Qian said as he stood up.

Manager Nie Kai, Zhang Lekang, Fan Minxue, and Yin Yanyan also hurriedly stood up, not daring to sit a moment longer.

"Young Master Zheng, not going to stay and play a while longer?"

"No more playing, I've had enough, it's time to go back."

Zheng Qian thought to himself that if he went back late, there was no telling how Song Yaxian would be sarcastic toward him.

This girl didn't care about his status; if she didn't like something, she would just give him a piece of her mind.

She was even more fierce than Xia Xixi.

Why were all the secretaries he hired like this?

Zheng Qian couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Young Master Zheng, since you are tired, let's stop here for today."

"Seeing that you've had some alcohol, you shouldn't drive. I'll send someone to take you back."

Zheng Qian nodded; that made sense.

He didn't know where Manager Nie Kai had found a Rolls-Royce, but it was quite impressive.
