Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Pan Zhuangzhuang sang loudly to the sea; this guy is pretty chuunibyou most of the time.

Kunji, Lezai, and Wangcai rolled around on the beach. In Lezai's eyes, Kunji had become the second kindest person to him in the whole village because Kunji had bought him a huge cartload of candy, enough for him to eat for a long time.

It really was a whole cart; this guy had pushed all the shopping carts from the supermarket back with him.

An Xiaohai ranked first, Kunji second, Lin Xuan'er third, and Pan Zhuangzhuang has fallen out of the top three.

"Hai, what do we do next?" Pan Zhuangzhuang asked, exhausted from shouting, as he lay down next to An Xiaohai on the beach.

"make money."

"Make money?" Pan Zhuangzhuang asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, make money. How can we compete with them if we don't have money? The most important thing is to make enough money first."

"You've made so much money, isn't it enough?" Pan Zhuangzhuang asked in a low voice.

"Not enough, far from enough. Don't forget, besides those drug dealers, there are others who want to get back at me."

"Is it Zhou Tie's biological mother's group?"

"Yes, it's that group of people," An Xiaohai nodded.

The woman in the photo was very easy to recognize; Zhou Tie's features were very similar to hers. An Xiaohai guessed that this woman was very likely Zhou Tie's biological mother.

I had long suspected that Zhou Tie might be the illegitimate son of some high-ranking official, and now it's confirmed.

This matter is easy to investigate, there's no rush.

"Okay, it's good that you have an idea. Let's stick to the old rules. You don't need to tell me the reasons. I'll do whatever you tell me to do."

"You've been working in Guoqiang South for two years now, have you built up any familiar clients?"

"Of course there are, but these clients don't have a large volume of business. The big clients are maintained by the boss himself, and I can't get involved at all."

"That's enough. It's actually for the best. Go find a shop over there, and we'll open the shop first."

"But the rent for shops over there is very expensive. A shop of two or three square meters costs two or three thousand a month. In a better location, it can cost four or five thousand, or even five or six thousand."

"Zhuang, don't worry about the money. As long as it solves the problem, it's worth it no matter how much it costs."

Remember not to be foolish and just take the money directly to rent a shop. This is a lot of money for us, so we need to do more research, haggle patiently, and borrow money from as many people as possible.

Whether you get the loan or not is irrelevant, but you must maintain a humble attitude. If someone is willing to lend you money, accept it, and remember to write an IOU.

"I understand, that's why I'm afraid of losing everything."

"It's certain that it will be smashed inside! Zhou Tie's biological mother will definitely find all sorts of reasons to keep causing trouble for us, and our shop will definitely have a very difficult time operating."

They might even dig traps for us to fall into, so Zhuang, remember, you must stay calm.

You are in the spotlight. The longer you hold on at the forefront, the more time and space you can buy for me.

You must be patient and try every possible way to deal with them. If you can't hold on any longer, borrow money, borrow money through any means possible, even high-interest loans are fine, but it takes time, you must buy more time, understand?

"I understand. Don't worry, leave it to me."

"I'll send Kunji over to help you. He's a very skilled thief, so you need to make good use of him."

"So he was a thief! No wonder you said you'd put him in charge of sourcing the goods; it's a risk-free, highly profitable business!"

"You're overthinking it!" An Xiaohai rolled his eyes at Pan Zhuangzhuang. "Kunji is mainly used over there to keep an eye on people. If any suspicious people appear, Kunji will keep a close eye on them."

It feels like fishing; the other side has woven a huge net to trap us. Only by understanding all the nodes of this net can we find its weakness and then completely break it.

Once the net is broken, we can then target the people who were caught on it, understand?

"Understood. In short, I'll be on the front lines, drawing the attention of those corrupt officials, while you work behind the scenes."

But what about those drug dealers? Are you going to deal with them alone?

"Of course it's me alone, it's best if it's just me alone. Do you really want to drag all of you down with me?"

Don't worry, I have a solution.

If that woman finds out I'm trying to fill the shop's hole by dealing with all sorts of shady people, she'll loosen her grip on things.

This is actually buying us time and space, and also distracting her. If I stay with you all the time, it will actually make things easier for her.

"Okay, I understand. I'll listen to you. Anyway, you're not going to be polite with me."

"That's right."

The group played around on the beach for a while longer when Chen Shuifen came to call for someone. It turned out that Tian Qiaoming had brought Song Xiaoyu.

Song Xiaoyu hadn't changed much, but her complexion was much better than before, and she looked radiant. Tian Qiaoming wanted to talk to An Xiaohai about serious matters as soon as they met, but An Xiaohai stopped her with a look.

After chatting with them for a while, An Xiaohai took them away from his home and went directly to Tian Qiaoming's company.

"Xiao Hai, we've come to see you today to discuss Qiaoyu's shares. What do you think...?"

"Brother Tian, ​​wait a minute!" An Xiaohai interrupted Tian Qiaoming, and after organizing his thoughts, he said, "Brother Tian, ​​sister-in-law, thank you for trusting me so much and valuing me so much, but there are some things I must make clear to you first."

"Go ahead!" Tian Qiaoming took a deep breath and sat up straight.

"Alright, I won't go into the details, but you all need to know that I have an enemy, a high-ranking official. I don't know who he is yet, but he must be a very high-ranking official, most likely a provincial-level official."

Tian Qiaoming and Song Xiaoyu exchanged a glance.

They knew a little about the fact that someone was targeting An Xiaohai at the First Prison; Tian Qiaoguang had mentioned it to them. They initially thought it was a prison official, but it turned out the situation was much more serious.

This is a bit tricky.

The common people can't fight with officials. Tian Qiaoming runs a company and does business. If he really gets into such trouble, it would be a fatal blow to Qiaoyu.

"So let's not talk about shares," An Xiaohai continued. "I appreciate your friendship, but believe me, it really won't work. If I invest, I'll ruin you both."

"No, there's a way!" Song Xiaoyu suddenly said, "The shares can be held in trust."

"Nominee shareholding?"

Yes, held on behalf of someone else.

You can sign a shareholding agreement with Qiaoyu, where my husband will hold your shares on your behalf. We will set certain conditions in the contract, and once those conditions are met, the shares will be transferred directly to your name.

If this condition is not met, the agreement is void.

In this way, you can enjoy the benefits of the shares without leaving any trace in the eyes of outsiders.

Shareholding agreements on behalf of others are protected by law, but no business registration change is required until certain conditions are met.

"I see..." An Xiaohai was both touched and surprised. He hadn't expected that Tian Qiaoming and his wife would be so loyal to him.

Tian Qiaoming also glanced at his wife. In the past two years, Song Xiaoyu's attitude towards An Xiaohai had changed drastically, mainly because An Xiaohai's abilities were simply too strong.

Not only is he technically skilled, but An Xiaohai also has an exceptional ability to predict and control the market.

Thanks to An Xiaohai's reminders, Qiaoyu has avoided many detours in the past two years, which is evident to all. Without An Xiaohai, Qiaoyu could not have reached this point so quickly and smoothly.

"Alright, that's a good option. Brother Tian, ​​if you're not afraid, I have no objections."

"That's great!" Tian Qiaoming also breathed a sigh of relief.

"I knew you'd agree. Just sign this!" Song Xiaoyu took out a shareholding agreement that she had prepared long ago from her bag. It even had the company seal and signature on it.

An Xiaohai took the contract and glanced at it, his brows immediately furrowing.

"An Xiaohai owns 30% of the shares of Shenhai Qiaoyu Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd., which are held on his behalf by Chen Qiaoming... When the company's annual profit exceeds one million, the shares will be officially transferred to An Xiaohai's name... During this period, An Xiaohai will enjoy all the share dividends."

"What's wrong, Xiao Hai? 30% is the maximum share we can offer. In this company, I own 30%, Xiao Yu owns 30%, Engineer Zhao and the other technical staff own 10%, and the rest is all yours."

Tian Qiaoming said somewhat nervously.

"Brother Tian, ​​you've misunderstood!" An Xiaohai waved his hand. "It's not that I think it's too little, but rather that this share distribution is very unreasonable."

You didn't give too little, you gave too much. There are too many shareholders, and the company won't go far like that.

"What?!" Tian Qiaoming and Song Xiaoyu exchanged a glance, their eyes widening simultaneously.
