"Brother Qi, you don't need to put up this money yourself. Dongshan Trading and the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce can handle it."
In the tearoom, Li Jianjun, Lv Ao'er, Zhang Tianhua, Wei Wenhao, and others had gathered. Qi Tongwei had just explained his decision, reached in consultation with Liang Qunfeng and Zhou Zhengming, to make a direct donation and investment in the laboratory. Zhang Tianhua was the first to object. Initially, Qi thought this was just Zhang’s personal view, but to his surprise, everyone else voiced their unanimous agreement.
Ever since they had followed Qi Tongwei’s lead in shorting the ruble, they had all made a significant amount of money. A few hundred million was nothing to them; it was hardly worth mentioning. Furthermore, any future profits from this project would go to Dongshan Trading and Dongshan Technology—it was, in effect, an investment in their own business. Everyone understood perfectly well that this was their moment to step up and make themselves useful.
