Chapter 200: Tang Ziyi's reasoning
"So, you still say, we need this large fleet for our guards?" Ling Qingyu widened her eyes.
"Of course. Besides, your guards like police work too; I'm sure of my opinion." Tang Ziyi defended her decision.
Ling Qingyu remembered the conversation she had with Su Ruomei and Jiang Yu. What Tang Ziyi said was most likely the case.
"But that doesn't constitute buying so many, especially, when you can merely increase the armor MRAPs." Ling Qingyu said. "Shouldn't increasing the number of these beasts or producing more armor Jeeps probable than your choice?"
"Your words make sense but I suggest you let your guards use more civilian vehicles unless the situation calls for it." Tang Ziyi replied. "And I think they'll enjoy my choice better."
Ling Qingyu went speechless and rubbed her chin. Indeed, a little money to allow her guards to indulge seemed not a bad idea. Her less than a trillion yuan was stuck inside her pocket, nowhere to spend at the moment.
Apart from corporate takeover and business plan, Ling Qingyu rarely spent the wealth.
Tang Ziyi added: "In addition, having more vehicles means they can patrol around and safeguard our properties at the same time. For instance, your company in the metropolitan area and enlarge the protection presence."
Tang Ziyi was correct. Civilian vehicles seemed better suited for the task. Ling Qingyu imagined an MRAP placed near her company.
People were more than likely to panic and unnecessary alarms could be raised, which was in contrast to Ling Qingyu's goal.
"Out of all the vehicles, you buy Toyota." Ling Qingyu said in doubt.
"What's with your voice? Toyota is a reliable car manufacturer and the richest one in net worth among the car companies. Plus, the price is cheaper. Instead of having one BMW, I can have 2 Toyota instead." Tang Ziyi said.
Ling Qingyu rolled her eyes. "Fair enough. But you have to know there are very few Toyota brands in this country compared to Alyssia Continent."
Tang Ziyi shrugged. "I know this country was invaded by Country J in the past. And as you can see from Yang Qingyue's reaction to the siren type, people aren't as resistant as we presumed. They might not be too much against it but they didn't like to use the past invaders' product."
"Alright. Now that everything is settled. It's no use talking about this to you." Ling Qingyu gave up.
"Come on, please look from another perspective." Tang Ziyi said. "You have another protective circle outside the perimeter with your guards' presence on these cars. It'll deter when they also see the police sign."
Ling Qingyu felt Tang Ziyi's words made sense. A lot of flexibility was gained from the fleet upgrade. She felt safer, staying in Province N, after hearing Tang Ziyi's description.
If only her money weren't squandered in the vehicle purchase. "You even said sarcastically when I bought so many vehicles and now you did just the same." Ling Qingyu complained. "I almost forgot, what's with the lorry truck?"
Tang Ziyi had only opened her mouth when Yang Qingyue's voice interrupted. "Hey, I heard a commotion going on and came out; I didn't think to see such large motorcades. Are the vehicles here to supply my fleet again? Sister, you're donating these for me?"
The trio turned around and also saw officers behind Yang Qingyue, including Wang Xiuying, Mu Xiaoqian, and Sun Qiqi. It seemed recording evidence had been completed.
"Oh, Sister Tang bought these to supplement my guards' maneuverability." Ling Qingyu said. "You can take some of them, if you like."
Tang Ziyi's smile almost cracked at Ling Qingyu's distinctive reaction. When did she suddenly become generous all of a sudden? Huh, as soon as Yang Qingyue appeared. (0 v 0)
Ling Qingyu relentlessly pursued her consumption yet if Yang Qingyue begged Ling Qingyu, Tang Ziyi was certain, she would gift them without a thought.
Now, who was squandering money here?
Xiao Yue bowed her head a little and covered her mouth, chuckling at Tang Ziyi's speechlessness.
Yang Qingyue refused immediately when she heard they were for private purposes. She shook her head. "No need. Sister Tang must have purchased them for a reason."
"Exactly, and that's what I'm trying to explain to my boss." Tang Ziyi added from the side. "Plus, our guard unit can patrol around the area and take part in some police work. If something beyond our control occurs, we can request help from you but for the most part of the security, it's easy." Tang Ziyi lowered her voice.
"That's an excellent idea. It frees us from the unnecessary resources. You can even help our jurisdiction too, provided your group remains under my watch during working hours." Yang Qingyu said. "I'm not in control but only supervising. What's more, your groups should be responsible for security only."
Ling Qingyu and Tang Ziyi nodded, which was exactly what they had in mind. Su Ruomei would become the chief of her guards as usual. She had the necessary skill sets and experience.
"So, what's the matter with the lorry?" Yang Qingyue asked what Ling Qingyu wanted to know.
"Actually, this one is rented for a day for you." Tang Ziyi explained.
"For me?" Yang Qingyue repeated in doubt.
Ling Qingyu's eyes were stunned too. Okay! When are you beginning to even gift others, especially with my money?!
"The lorry is here to transport the motorbikes, which are going to be donated to you." Tang Ziyi finally explained the purpose of the lorry truck.
Ling Qingyu's eyes narrowed. When did she buy motorbikes? Did Tang Ziyi buy them when she went outside this time?
Seemingly noticing Ling Qingyu's questioning face, Tang Ziyi smiled. "100 motorbikes produced by us. What, you don't think as someone who can easily manufacture an armored truck faces difficulties for motorbikes?"
Ling Qingyu realized it should be the product of Athena and Tang Ziyi. Her confidante appeared to like tinkering stuff with her daughter.
"100 Motorbikes!" Yang Qingyue gasped. Just from the sheer number of donated items, Yang Qingyue almost had a fever. From cars to motorcycles, she felt happier than before.
There was no longer a symptom among her subordinates called lack, starting from today. She had also decided to search for a few motorbikes to enhance her police force and the gift from Ling Qingyu was like charcoal in a heavy snow.
Other than gratitude, Yang Qingyue had no words.
Tang Ziyi said. "In fact, the motorbikes are to be used by you to increase public trust in the police force."
Ling Qingyu's ears twitched, awaiting the next sentences from Tang Ziyi's lips. The officers and Yang Qingyue also perked their ears.
The officers were keen to improve public opinion. Although they had somewhat regained trust under the leadership of Yang Qingyue, it was still slow.
Slowness didn't mean bad; gradual improvement was the road their prefecture police force must work hard on, laying a strong foundation of trust and capabilities with the public.
However, no one would refuse speeding up this project. Particularly, Yang Qingyu wanted to know from Tang Ziyi's perspective.
"After watching Sister Ling's work, an amazing idea pops up in my mind. In addition to enhancing traffic law enforcement, the bikes can be utilized to appeal to the public." Tang Ziyi said.
"How?" Yang Qingyue said, almost getting impatience toward Tang Ziyi's wayward style of speaking.
Ling Qingyu realized what Tang Ziyi had in mind and guessed the methods, which might be seen from past life.
