A day passed by quickly!
Perhaps it was due to Sibiya’s arrival that Tang Xinwan felt restless throughout the day, even zoning out while working.
“Are you really planning to go to tomorrow’s banquet?” Ye Cangtian asked.
“Yes, of course I’m going!”
Tang Xinwan snapped back to attention and sneered, “I am the president of the Chamber of Commerce. Since Sibiya is here to discuss cooperation, why shouldn’t I go?”
Although she considered the other party a dangerous romantic rival, Tang Xinwan would not back down simply because of their status.
She not only intended to attend the Saudi royal banquet but also to push for the cooperation agreement.
This was not just an opportunity for the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, but also an opportunity for her Tang family!
If she were to be timid and not go in such a situation, she would truly be foolish!
“By the way, I’m planning to merge Haitien Pharmaceuticals with the Tang family’s other businesses in the next few days to create the Tang Corporation, and have my uncle serve as the group’s vice president. What do you think?”
Tang Xinwan was now the new head of the Tang family and had absolute control over all of the family’s assets. The reason for the merger was to facilitate management.
Moreover, once the Tang Corporation was established, in addition to Haitien Pharmaceuticals, the other industries would have an additional label signifying their strength.
This would undoubtedly be a good thing for the Tang family!
Ye Cangtian pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, “It’s actually quite good to have Uncle serve as vice president. Although he used to target you, it was for the sake of the Tang family.”
In recent days, his uncle Tang Yongchang’s attitude towards him and Tang Xinwan had greatly improved. In fact, Tang Yongchang had strongly supported Tang Xinwan’s appointment as the new family head.
For this reason alone, Ye Cangtian had a new appreciation for his uncle.
Tang Xinwan thought the same. Seeing that Ye Cangtian had no objections, she nodded, “Then I’ll tell Uncle later. Once the Tang Corporation is established, our group’s strength will definitely rank among the top three!”
Haitien Pharmaceuticals’ current market value already surpassed that of many corporate groups, and the Tang family’s other industries were also flourishing everywhere, especially in real estate.
Since the collapse of the He Group, the real estate industry had not only failed to decline but had also provided opportunities for various real estate companies to grow.
The Tang family’s real estate had also transformed from an unknown small company into one of Yangzhou’s leading real estate giants.
Therefore, once Haitien Pharmaceuticals and the Tang family’s other industries merged to form the Tang Corporation, its strength would undoubtedly surpass that of the original He Group!
At that time, the Tang family would also be qualified to become one of Yangzhou’s top three prominent families!
Looking at Tang Xinwan, who was filled with ambition, Ye Cangtian couldn’t help but feel a great sense of emotion.
It was difficult for women to succeed in business, but Tang Xinwan, as a woman, had managed to reach this point. Who knew the hardships and efforts she had endured?
However, he still supported all of her decisions, as she was his woman!
…
In a five-star hotel, which had become the temporary palace of the Saudi royal family.
It had to be said that the Saudi royal family was truly rich and powerful.
This was Yangzhou’s most luxurious five-star hotel, or more accurately, its specifications had reached the level of a quasi-six-star hotel.
Yet, the Saudi royal family had directly booked the entire hotel!
At this moment, in the hotel’s presidential suite, Sibiya was listening to a report from her finance department secretary. After a while, she asked in surprise, “She actually agreed?”
“Yes, Your Highness!”
“Good, then prepare the materials. After the banquet tomorrow, we can discuss the specific cooperation matters with the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce!”
“Your Highness, this is our royal family’s first investment in China. I honestly don’t understand why you chose Yangzhou…”
The female secretary was somewhat puzzled.
Although China’s economy was growing rapidly, most of it was concentrated in first-tier cities. Investing in such cities would have been a more stable choice.
But Yangzhou was only a second-tier city, far inferior to the major cities in terms of economic development and cultural heritage.
If the investment failed, it would also be a loss for the royal family.
Ten billion euros, while not a significant amount for the Saudi royal family, was still a considerable sum of money!
Sibiya’s expression turned cold as she looked at her secretary, “Are you questioning me?”
The female secretary was terrified and quickly explained, “That’s not what I meant, Your Highness. I was just worried about the other adults in the royal family…”
“Hmph, I don’t need everyone to agree with my decisions!”
Sibiya’s icy expression made the female secretary tremble with fear.
Seeing that the secretary was no longer speaking, Sibiya waved her hand, “You may leave. Just focus on your duties, and don’t worry about anything else!”
“Yes!”
The female secretary withdrew.
Sibiya then asked, “Where is Saki?”
“His Highness the Prince is still in his room. He tried to escape earlier but was found by us in the underground parking lot,” a female guard reported as she entered.
“He really is…”
Sibiya was amused and exasperated. She then nodded, “I understand. Keep a close eye on him these few days, and have him come see me.”
“Yes!”
…
A moment later, Saki walked into the suite’s living room and saw his sister staring at him with a stern expression, making him feel awkward.
“Sis!”
“Heh, you still know to call me sis?”
Sibiya’s face was stern, her expression cold, and she raised an eyebrow, “Still trying to escape?”
Saki quickly waved his hands to explain, “No, I was just bored and wandering around.”
“Stop explaining. I know your character well enough.”
Sibiya sighed slightly, looking at her useless brother with helplessness. “I know you don’t like staying in the palace, but even if you want to go out for a stroll, you shouldn’t act like this!”
After all, as a direct descendant prince, he was the heir to the royal family. Any accident occurring outside could completely disrupt the entire royal family.
Even though the royal family was wealthy now, many hostile forces were watching them.
If the royal family became unstable, those hostile forces would immediately pounce. Therefore, the royal family could not afford the disappearance or any accident involving the future heir.
Although Saki was fond of playing, he now knew he was wrong and felt a little sheepish.
“Sis, I know I was wrong. I just don’t want to inherit the royal family so early. Look, I don’t understand anything, and I’m not as capable as you. My methods aren’t good either. If such a large royal family falls into my hands, it will be ruined sooner or later!”
He knew his own limitations. Rather than being overly playful, it was more like he was evading responsibility!
Sibiya looked up, puzzled, “Who said you have to inherit the royal family so soon?”
Saki pouted and argued, “Don’t lie to me. I know you asked me to come back this time to inherit the royal family. Father doesn’t have much time left, does he?”
“…”
Sibiya gave her brother a helpless look, then said with a wry smile, “Father has woken up. Although I am currently handling royal affairs on his behalf, you won’t be inheriting the royal family so soon!”
“Really?”
“Really. Father was so angry when he found out you were missing that he couldn’t eat for a few days. So, no matter what, you have to go back with me this time!”
After speaking, Sibiya said seriously, “As for inheriting the royal family, I’ll give you two years. Two years from now, you can inherit it, how about that?”
Saki hesitated. The reason he had fled the royal family was his fear of inheriting it. Hearing that there were two more years, he felt relieved for a moment.
However, he still considered it carefully, then said, “Two years it is. But you can’t keep me confined to the royal family. For example, if I want to go out sometimes, you can’t stop me.”
Sibiya pondered for a moment, then nodded.
“As long as it’s within a safe range, I can agree to that!”
