Chapter 119: Conclusion
The thirty-minute break had come and gone. The sunlight outside had shifted, drawing faint golden streaks across the floor of the TG Mobility boardroom. By the time Timothy and Mei Ling returned, the rest of the executives were already gathering again, taking their seats one by one. Coffee cups were replaced by tablets and notepads; the mood, though calm, carried a renewed sense of purpose.
Angela was the first to speak, her cheerful energy breaking the silence. "So, boss, are we ready to wrap this up? I think we've covered almost every continent except Antarctica."
Timothy gave a short chuckle. "Almost. But yes, it's time we tie everything together."
He stood at the head of the table as Hana dimmed the lights slightly. The large screen behind him displayed a single phrase: TG Mobility Holdings — Phase II and Beyond.
He looked around the room, at the faces that had helped him bring a dream to life. Each one of them represented a piece of the machine that was now moving faster than any of them had ever imagined.
"Alright," Timothy began. "Let's recap what we've covered today. We've finalized the Phase II expansion blueprint, agreed on our country allocations, and now, we've laid the groundwork for something much bigger, TG Motors' public offering."
He paused, letting the words sink in.
"Before we adjourn, I want everyone to be clear on our direction, responsibilities, and timeline. We're moving into the most critical stage of TG Mobility's evolution. The decisions we make in the next twelve months will determine not just our growth, but our legacy."
He turned toward Mei Ling. "Ms. Tan, would you summarize the financial overview for everyone?"
Mei Ling nodded and tapped the screen, pulling up a consolidated dashboard. The interface now displayed a multi-phase breakdown of costs, projected timelines, and funding sources.
"As discussed earlier," she began, "our regional expansion covers four countries: Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Malaysia. The combined capital expenditure stands at $22.6 billion USD, but after co-investments and government incentives, our effective outlay will be $10.7 billion USD. Funding will be structured through a combination of retained earnings, regional partnerships, and the eventual IPO of TG Motors."
She gestured to the pie chart now displayed.
Internal liquidity: 40%
Government incentives and partnerships: 35%
Future IPO proceeds: 25%
"Our internal reserves cover nearly half the cost," Mei Ling continued. "However, we'll need to maintain at least a $5 billion liquidity buffer to ensure uninterrupted operations and research continuity. That's why the IPO is essential, not just for capital, but for global investor confidence."
Angela leaned forward, resting her chin on her hand. "So when's the earliest we can start the IPO process?"
Mei Ling glanced at Timothy before answering. "Preparation begins immediately, structuring, auditing, compliance, but the actual launch won't be until late 2027 or early 2028. Market timing is everything. We'll go public when the EV sector stabilizes and our ASEAN production lines are fully operational."
Robert nodded in agreement. "Makes sense. The last thing we want is to debut during a market slump."
"Exactly," Mei Ling said. "By then, our factories in Rayong and Bekasi will be producing at full capacity, giving investors tangible results to trust in."
Timothy stepped back in. "That brings us to our operational timeline."
Hana changed the slide again, revealing a clean, structured roadmap.
2027 Q1–Q4 — Construction and setup of ASEAN gigafactories.
2028 Q1 — Initial production at Rayong (Thailand) and Bekasi (Indonesia).
2028 Q3–Q4 — Full ASEAN integration, Vietnam and Malaysia facilities online.
2029 Q1 — TG Motors IPO listing in Singapore and the Philippines.
2029–2030 — Expansion toward Europe (Poland/Hungary).
2031–2032 — North American entry and R&D hub in Texas or Georgia.
"This," Timothy said, "is the path we're taking. Every department must synchronize according to this schedule. Akira, your team will handle the technological roadmap, from battery innovations to AI systems in production. Mei Ling, you'll lead the IPO preparations and coordinate with our legal and financial partners. Robert, your focus will be operations, ensuring our new facilities adhere to TG's standards. Angela, keep our public image spotless and begin soft marketing for the IPO. Hana will coordinate project flow and act as liaison for interdepartmental alignment."
Everyone nodded.
"Okay, that would be it. It's been a pleasure meeting you guys again."
As the meeting concluded, the room slowly emptied. The executives exchanged polite handshakes and brief farewells before stepping out into the marble hallway. The buzz of conversation faded behind the closing glass doors, leaving Timothy and Hana alone for a moment.
Timothy loosened his tie slightly, letting out a long breath. "Well, that went smoother than I expected."
Hana smiled faintly as she organized her tablet and documents. "It did. Mei Ling was on point as always. Everyone seems aligned."
"Good," Timothy said, glancing around to ensure they were alone. "Let's head to the private room. I need a moment to process before we jump to the next part of the day."
They exited quietly and walked down the corridor to a smaller executive suite adjacent to the boardroom. The room was quieter, the blinds half-drawn, offering a muted view of the city skyline. Timothy sat down on the couch, while Hana placed her tablet on the glass table and joined him across.
She hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Sir… there's one more thing I need to bring up before you call it a day."
Timothy raised a brow. "Something urgent?"
Hana nodded. "It's about Jensen. He reached out again this morning — and not just him. A few of the semiconductor clients he's been coordinating with are requesting a meeting. They want to finalize the deal."
Timothy blinked, sitting upright. "Now?"
"Yes," Hana said carefully. "They've been in communication with our team in Batangas and California. But they're all flying here — to Singapore. Apparently, they're attending the tech expo at Marina Bay Sands."
Timothy sighed softly, leaning back into the couch. "I was hoping to keep this trip focused on mobility and expansion. The semiconductor side can wait until I'm done with the current agenda."
"I told them you were occupied," Hana continued, "but… they're insistent. They said this might be the best time since all major investors are already here for the expo. Jensen mentioned it's a rare alignment, everyone in one place."
Timothy exhaled through his nose, rubbing the bridge of his forehead. "Of course they are," he muttered. "Perfect timing."
Hana gave a soft, apologetic smile. "I thought you'd say that. Should I arrange it after tomorrow's investor session?"
Timothy paused, considering it. Then, reluctantly, he nodded. "Alright."
