Chapter 1220: Chapter 1221: Old Qi’s Speculation
With Chiang Qing’s matter settled, Ning Ge took the train back to Qing City to discuss in person the investment that Cheng Lao Si had mentioned over the phone.
Moreover, Ning Ge also planned to inform Qi Taiguo about the matter regarding Chiang Qing.
When Ning Ge returned to Qing City, Cheng Yaozu was already having too much fun to leave.
They first talked about the investment introduction. Ning Ge was never very interested in business, so whether to introduce investment or not was indifferent to him. Now that the Cheng family was investing, he had even less concern.
With the interests of several families tied together, having more did not hurt.
Therefore, Cheng Su would prepare the plan. As for the amount to invest, that was the Cheng family’s matter. Since they intended to expand the business, the funds should be substantial, especially since they would need to buy land for expansion and directly purchase the factory, all requiring significant capital.
Such substantial investment was essentially an asset restructuring, meaning Jam Company would undergo significant changes, keeping everyone busy.
After discussing the investment, Cheng Yaozu told Ning Ge about the matter concerning the Loo Family, with Qi Taiguo listening in as well.
"Shenglong is strange. Sometimes their cargo trucks are very light, other times very heavy, but the cargo is the same. From the outside, there’s nothing particularly wrong. For more in-depth information, we haven’t found anything yet," Cheng Yaozu said.
"You can tell the weight of the trucks?"
Cheng Yaozu replied, "You can discern the weight of the contents just by looking at how deep the tire tracks are."
"Can’t you see what those goods are?" Ning Ge asked.
"After all, we’re not in the underworld," Cheng Yaozu said tactfully. "But just from the transport side, Shenglong is very cautious. Watching them get through customs relatively smoothly makes me wonder if there’s a channel there that needs checking."
Ning Ge snorted, "Come on, there’s no such thing as a family that’s all clean."
Cheng Yaozu raised an eyebrow, "Does your family have any?"
Ning Ge rubbed his nose, "Our family doesn’t, but I might, just not much."
"That’s all I can say!" Cheng Yaozu replied. "Something’s definitely off with Shenglong, but for what’s hidden in their cargo, it might take a while to figure out!"
"Then infiltrate them!" Ning Ge said sternly.
Cheng Yaozu pondered, "Is the Loo Family really that bold?"
"This isn’t just a threat to Cheng Su anymore. It’s the bigger picture, and if it’s serious enough, it might even pose a national threat!" Ning Ge said, pursing his lips and glancing at Qi Taiguo.
Cheng Yaozu was startled.
"It’s said that the Loo Family’s transport fleet also helps deliver supplies for the higher-ups, secured by Jiang Conghe!" Qi Taiguo, quiet till now, suddenly spoke up.
Ning Ge and Cheng Yaozu both looked at him.
Qi Taiguo stood up, paused, and with a hint of uncertainty in his eyes, said, "If, and I mean if, there’s something mixed in with those supplies that shouldn’t be there, would any irregularities be detected if they were sent out?"
"What do you mean?" Ning Ge couldn’t grasp it immediately.
"For instance, if it’s contraband, even if discovered, with the ledgers presented, who would suspect anything? Jiang Conghe is now a commander, and getting his signature isn’t difficult, is it?" Qi Taiguo explained slowly.
Ning Ge shot up, looking at him with fear, and Cheng Yaozu was equally shocked.
