Urban God-level Youth-Chapter 601 - 603 Banquet
Han Meng hurried over upon seeing this, gently patting his back, "Xiao Hao, are you okay?"
"Cough, cough"
Qin Hao responded, "Meng, I'm fine. You can go ahead with your work."
Having said that, he looked at Miao Jing, "Officer Miao, what did you say just now? I didn't hear you clearly."
A blush crept onto Miao Jing's pretty face, "I said if my family can't repay your money, I will offer myself as collateral."
Qin Hao looked at her and said, "Officer Miao, do you think you're worth three hundred million?"
Miao Jing showed signs of exploding, "What do you mean by that?"
Qin Hao explained, "I didn't mean anything by it, just that people can't be measured in money. Some are priceless, some are worthless. I can lend you the money, but I hope you will keep your promise, Officer Miao."
"I, Miao Jing, always keep my word," Miao Jing said with a firm tone.
Qin Hao took out a stack of cheques, wrote three hundred million on one of them, and handed it to her, "This is three hundred million."
Miao Jing took the cheque, glanced at it, then looked up at Qin Hao, "Thank you."
Qin Hao, "Officer Miao, next time you come, wear your uniform. It's more charming that way."
A blush spread across Miao Jing's cheeks, and she glared at him, "Pervert." With that, she left.
Back at home, Miao Jing handed the cheque to her father, "Dad, I've borrowed the money."
Miao Jianyuan was stunned, "You said you had something to do, was it to borrow money for me? Whose money is it?"
Miao Jing, "Who else has so much money? Of course, it's Qin Hao's."
Miao Jianyuan asked curiously, "How come he would lend you the money?"
Miao Jing replied, "He agreed after thinking it through."
...
Around six in the evening, Zhao Yuying returned, somewhat excited, she said to Qin Hao, "Today, a lot of TV and movie production companies contacted us, asking for our Blue Shadow special effects team to do special effects."
Qin Hao smiled and said, "That's quite good, the income just from special effects won't be meager every month."
Now that Yuhao Media had grown, he felt much more at ease. In the future, he could entrust everything to Zhao Yuying to manage. With this special effects technology, it would be hard for Yuhao Media Company to go bankrupt.
Zhao Yuying, "Yeah, but if they want Yuhao Media to do the special effects, they not only have to pay up but also have to offer up some entertainment industry resources."
She wanted to use the advantage of these special effects to expand the reach and strength of Yuhao Media, aiming to make Yuhao Media the largest entertainment media company in the country.
Soon after, Zhao Yuying's mother, Wang Zhi, walked in, "You child, not going home after getting off work."
Zhao Yuying explained, "Mom, there were some issues at the company, I was discussing them with Xiao Hao."
After a bit of conversation, Qin Hao looked at his watch and said, "Ms. Wang, Ying, Meng, I must leave for a banquet now."
Zhao Yuying, "Go ahead, be careful on the road."
...
Qin Hao got into the car, and five cars made their way to Innsil Hotel. He arrived outside the Innsil Hotel at 6:51 PM.
After getting out of the car, Qin Hao and his entourage entered the Innsil Hotel and took the elevator up to the door of Suite 2606.
There were quite a few bodyguards standing at the door of the suite, including several from Beihai Country. They were martial arts warriors specifically assigned to protect the safety of Sato Tarou up close.
Leng Xuan knocked on the door, and it was promptly opened by a middle-aged man whom Qin Hao did not recognize.
Upon seeing Qin Hao, the man's face broke into a smile, "Mr. Qin has arrived, please come in."
"Wait for me outside," Qin Hao said as he entered the private room, which was already full of people, including Sato Tarou and Xu Jiejian, as well as over a dozen other CEOs, none of whom Qin Hao recognized.
Most of these individuals were CEOs of government enterprises within the energy sector, each managing companies with total assets approaching nearly one hundred billion.
Nanxing Energy Group, led by Miao Jianyuan, hadn't even reached ten billion; in such a gathering, he simply wouldn't qualify to attend.

Xu Jiejian, upon seeing Qin Hao, said with a smile, "Come sit, Xiao Hao."
In the room, Xu Jiejian was the only one who dared address him as Xiao Hao; everyone else had to respectfully refer to him as Mr. Qin.
Qin Hao took a seat next to Xu Jiejian, his expression was calm as he glanced at Sato Tarou and then surveyed the others in the room.
Xu Jiejian said with a smile, "Xiao Hao, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Li from Tongben Energy Group, this is Wang Guanding from Zhongtai Energy Group..."
"Mr. Qin, hello, I've long admired your reputation."
"Mr. Qin, a belated happy new year, I've long held you in high esteem."
Qin Hao responded to each in turn, finally arriving at Sato Tarou, to whom Xu Jiejian said, "This is Mr. Sato Tarou from the Fu Feng Group."
Qin Hao was aware of the Fu Feng Group, the largest in the Sato Family's portfolio, a conglomerate controlling countless smaller groups.
Sato Tarou greeted Qin Hao with a smile, "Mr. Qin, I had heard of your great name back in Beihai Country, and seeing you today, you certainly live up to the reputation."
His reaction was so different from what it once had been, causing some astonishment in Qin Hao's heart. Wasn't he the one who wanted to kill me? Why is he saying these things now?
A flicker of confusion also passed through the eyes of others, weren't the two supposed to have bad blood? And they almost came to blows, so why did they not seem as adversarial as rumored?
Qin Hao replied calmly, "Mr. Sato is being too generous with his praise. Compared to the Sato Family, I still have a long way to go."
Though his words sounded modest, they were laced with a strong undercurrent; weren't the Sato Family supposed to be formidable? Why then are they speaking so meekly now?
Sensing the tone of the conversation was off, Xu Jiejian quickly interjected, "Xiao Hao, I heard there was some misunderstanding between you and Mr. Sato?"
"There was a small misunderstanding, but it's already been resolved," Sato Tarou said first.
Xu Jiejian: "That's good to hear, harmony brings wealth, let's all drink to that."
Everyone raised their glasses and took a sip. Qin Hao was puzzled by Sato Tarou's intentions, as the man seemed completely changed.
"Let's eat, everyone, eat."
After a few rounds of drinks and dishes, Wang Guanding from Zhongtai Group turned to Sato Tarou and said, "Mr. Sato, I heard your Fu Feng Group has developed the latest solar panel with an energy efficiency five times greater than previous versions?"
Sato Tarou nodded, "Indeed, our orders are now full. Many parts of the world have pre-ordered large quantities of our solar panels."
Wang Guanding continued, "Mr. Sato, may I inquire how much the research and development costs have increased?"
Sato Tarou replied, "Our latest solar panels have not only not increased in cost, but they've even decreased somewhat. This is something you all shouldn't worry about."
The crowd was visibly shocked by the news that costs had not gone up but had even been reduced.
Xu Jiejian said, "Mr. Sato, I hope we can reach a cooperation agreement; we will definitely have the largest demand."
As Xuan Country had the world's largest population, its power consumption was extremely high.
With a smile, Sato Tarou responded, "It's simple to cooperate with our Fu Feng Group. Whether the cooperation is successful depends entirely on what Mr. Qin decides to do."
