Back at the company.

Good news also came from Jiang Fei's side: Shenzhen Development Bank has completed its ex-rights and ex-dividend process and has completed its rights issue at a rate of one share for every ten shares held.

At this point, Chen Dong's account will hold 160,000 shares of Shenzhen Development Bank stock.

Aside from the promised reward of 10,000 shares each to Jiang Fei and the others, there were still 110,000 shares remaining in the account.

Don't underestimate these 110,000 shares; they're the real goose that lays golden eggs.

Even if Chen Dong does nothing now, the total value of these stocks will reach several hundred million in twenty years.

With the leather jacket contract now signed, today is truly a double celebration.

As the boss, he said with great pleasure.

"Thank you all for your hard work these past few days. Today, I'm treating you all to a meal at the biggest restaurant in Shenzhen to celebrate our company having its first flagship product."

"The boss is so generous!"

"Thank you, boss!"

To be precise, they were just queuing up to buy stocks, and Chen Dong had already given each of them 500 yuan in cash as a reward for this.

The remaining task was to clean up Longteng Foreign Trade Center inside and out.

If you could earn a thousand yuan a month just by cleaning, countless people would probably fight tooth and nail to do it!

The restaurant is a state-owned restaurant, and it has a very large area.

Besides Chen Dong and his group having dinner, there were seven or eight other tables occupied by other business owners.

They were talking about the hottest stock market trend recently.

However, Chen Dong and his group ignored this group.

After everyone sat down, Jiang Fei poured wine for Chen Dong and stood up to say something.

"Brothers, let's toast the boss with this first drink. It's the boss who provided us with a job that guarantees a stable income no matter what."

Whoosh!

Everyone stood up, raised their glasses, and shouted.

"To the boss!"

"Thank you everyone, but I should be the one toasting you all this time. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. Let's all drink to this!"

Chen Dong raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. The others followed suit and downed their glasses as well.

After everyone put down their glasses, Chen Dong continued.

"We shouldn't be talking about work while we're eating, but there are some things I still want to say now that everyone's here."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone pricked up their ears.

"Now that the company has its first product, it won't be so easy for us to gather together for a meal like we are today after today."

"I think the time when we get together again will be the time for me to give everyone their year-end bonuses."

"Therefore, I propose that this second glass be a toast to the great success of our first product, and also to wish everyone's income to rise steadily. Let's all drink to that together."

As he spoke, Chen Dong filled his glass to the brim and gestured to the others.

"Dry!"

When the boss spoke, everyone stood up.

"Dry!"

"Dry!"

"Dry!"

After finishing his drink, Chen Dong gestured again.

"Brothers, this third toast is my way of saying goodbye to you all. I wish this shipment a safe arrival in Yanjing, so that Longteng Foreign Trade can take its first solid step forward. Let's all drink to this!"

"Dry!"

After a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere gradually became lively, and everyone toasted each other. Chen Dong stopped drinking, as he needed to contact people in Yanjing later.

Although with Wang Meng's connection, securing the freight cars was a done deal, the necessary procedures still had to be followed.

After everyone had drunk their fill, Chen Dong addressed the people at the table.

"After this meal, tell everyone to go back and prepare. Submit your ID photos to me before noon tomorrow, and I will arrange for someone to process your visas for going abroad."

"Going forward, we will focus our work overseas."

Upon hearing this, Ah Long inquired.

"Brother Dong, do people from our unit also need to apply for visas?"

"That's right!"

Chen Dong nodded and said.

"Everyone should get one, it's better to be prepared."

"If we wait until the business there is fully operational and we need a lot of manpower before we can do it, then it will be too late."

"Okay, I understand. I'll go tell them later."

......

Two days later.

Ah Long, along with members of the First and Second Divisions, escorted goods to Yanjing.

Chen Dong, along with Ah Hu and Wolong, took the earliest flight to Yanjing.

These days, airplanes aren't exactly comfortable, and Chen Dong once again experienced the thrill of "flying through the clouds."

However, in order to save time, he had no choice but to endure it.

After exiting the terminal, Chen Dong and his two companions took a taxi to a location he had planned beforehand, which would become one of the future landmarks of Yanjing: Xiushui Street Market.

"Climb the Great Wall, visit the Forbidden City, eat Peking duck, and stroll through Xiushui."

This is the place I'm talking about, a must-visit for many overseas tourists.

Of course, it's still the old Xiushui Street.

Xiushui Street was established in 1980. At first, it consisted of just a few scattered shops among embassies and diplomatic apartments.

At that time, there were not many residents in the vicinity, and the consumer market was not viewed favorably.

Who could have imagined that ten years later, it would become a "folk trade center" that overseas tourists flock to visit and shop at?

As soon as the group arrived at Xiushui Street, they saw that it was filled with many blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners.

They skillfully moved between the various shops, embarking on a shopping spree.
