After Tang Mo had laughed enough, the Prime Minister finally spoke, "In fact, you are already very wealthy, Mr. Tang. Frankly speaking, you might even be richer than those big bosses of the Shireck Consortium."
The Shireck Consortium is actually not owned by a single individual. Although most of the shares are held by a few wealthy families, the shares each of these families controls are quite limited.
But Tang Mo is different. The Great Tang Group is wholly owned by him, which makes his wealth more concentrated. However, Tang Mo still doubted that he was wealthier than those individuals.
So, Tang Mo shrugged his shoulders and defended himself, "I really don't have much money. You've seen it, laying steel tracks is a huge expense."
He was not lying; in fact, he really didn't have much cash on hand—most of his income had been reinvested in the construction of his factories.
