All the ideas Liu Shiqing proposed were risky - like the kind that put everything at stake for desperate measures to succeed. Usual businessmen would never act in such a way. Huaxia has always respected the authority of officials - your life and death lies in their hands, bared in a mere utterance. Businessmen wouldn't opt for confrontation with the authorities unless pushed to the wall. Only Liu Shiqing, who plays fast and loose with money and has the audacity to gamble everything, would dare propose such tactics to Quan Lizhou.
Quan Lizhou is not inherently skilled in business management. Plus, given Liu Shiqing is his boss, he instinctively follows orders. When Liu Shiqing's enthusiasm is high, he also chimes in to complete the proposed ideas. In this sense, both seem to share a common agenda.
"Boss, you wouldn't believe how comforting it is to talk to you. Any hurdles I see no longer feels like a challenge." Quan Lizhou flattered Liu Shiqing a bit.
