What Li Ka-shing didn't know was that Zhang Shiqiang had already come to hate him.

After sending Li Zekai back to the chicken farm with his two henchmen by the roadside, Zhang Huan killed him.

After Zhang Huan led everyone away, Zhang Shiqiang, who had been pretending to be dead, insisted on lying there for half an hour until he was sure no one was around before he stood up.

"Li Ka-shing, I'm going to kill you." Zhang Shiqiang's eyes were ferocious, filled with hatred and anger.

Having been in the underworld for so long, this was the first time he had been manipulated like a puppet.

He dug a large pit and buried his dead brothers in it. Zhang Huan then left Hong Kong Island under cover of night.

The next day, as soon as Li Ka-shing arrived at the company office, he saw his right-hand man, Huo Zhenning, waiting for him at the door.

Li Ka-shing's heart skipped a beat, knowing something big had happened at the company, and he quickly asked, "A-Ning, what's wrong?"

Huo Zhenning said succinctly, "Our company's port construction and operation project in Pengcheng has been snatched away by someone else."

Li Ka-shing frowned instantly and said, "Let's talk in the office."

The two opened the door and walked into the office one after the other.

Huo Zhenning gave Li Ka-shing a detailed report.

“Tengfei Port Operations Group? I’ve never heard of this group before,” Li Ka-shing said.

Huo Zhenning said with a wry smile, "President Li, have you forgotten Tengfei Real Estate Company?"

Even with Li Ka-shing's composure, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "You mean Shen Dong? How could he possibly come up with 12 billion?"

Huo Zhenning said, "I hired a private investigator to conduct a comprehensive investigation of Shen Dong and found that he is indeed not an ordinary opponent."

Li Ka-shing said solemnly, "Explain in detail."

Huo Zhenning said, "Two years ago, Shen Dong was just the right-hand man of Uncle Bo, the leader of Hung Hing in Tuen Mun. For some reason, he suddenly seemed to have a breakthrough and, in just three months, not only rose to power but also started a legitimate business. Later, a rebellion broke out in Hung Hing, Jiang Tiansheng was driven out, and Liang Kun took over as the leader. Shen Dong, being adept at navigating both sides, seized the opportunity to push his underling, Ah Hua, to the position of leader in Wong Tai Sin District. Then, he built an instant noodle factory and a garment factory there, and from then on, his development went smoothly."

Li Ka-shing asked, "Why did Shen Dong venture into the real estate industry?"

Huo Zhenning said, "His land mainly came from the Ni family of the Triads. Back then, Han Chen killed the entire Ni family and obtained the wealth that the Ni family had accumulated over twenty years. In the struggle with Shen Dong, Han Chen was defeated and killed, and all the wealth went into Shen Dong's hands, including a lot of land and real estate."

"Later, Long Qingqun appeared and partnered with Shen Dong to develop these lands. The two had their own ulterior motives and schemed against each other. In the end, Long Qingqun failed and became a stepping stone for Shen Dong."

"It is said that Shen Dong is very close to the mainland. He took HK$2 billion to invest in Shenzhen and built the largest garment factory and instant noodle factory in the whole country and even the whole of Asia. They have a very high market share in the south. It is estimated that these two businesses can bring him an income of HK$100 million per month."

"In addition, he has been acquiring land and building extensively in Shenzhen. Several commercial buildings and residential communities have already been completed, and many more are under construction. Surprisingly, all of his properties are only for rent and not for sale. I guess he is very optimistic about the future of Shenzhen's real estate industry."

"There are rumors that Chu Xinghua of Pengcheng has a very good relationship with him. Every time Shen Dong goes there, Chu Xinghua personally receives him."

Li Ka-shing asked, "Just how much wealth does Shen Dong actually have?"

Huo Zhenning took out a form and handed it to Li Ka-shing, saying, "His assets include Tengfei Real Estate Company, Tengfei Entertainment Industry Company, Tengfei Instant Noodle Company, Tengfei Clothing Company, Tengfei Taxi Company, Tengfei Investment Company, as well as the newly established Tengfei Port Operation Company, Tengfei Bicycle Company, and Tengfei Beverage Company. Among them, the most mysterious is Tengfei Investment Company. The general manager is Song Zihao, who has been to prison. He is leading a group of traders to stir up trouble in the US stock market. You just asked me why he has so much money? I suspect that this money is likely from the huge profits he made in the recent stock market crash in the US, but no one knows exactly how much he made."

Li Ka-shing looked at the table carefully, his expression becoming extremely serious, and asked, "How much annual profit can he achieve?"

Huo Zhenning said, "We estimated that the annual profit of Tengfei Entertainment Industry Company should be between HK$500 million and HK$800 million."

Li Ka-shing's eyes widened, and he asked, "How much?"

Huo Zhenning explained, "Tengfei Entertainment Industry Company includes multiple hotels, KTVs, restaurants, and nightclubs. The Binhai Nightclub alone has a monthly turnover of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Including other industries, 500 million to 800 million is already a rather conservative figure."

Li Ka-shing habitually rubbed his forehead and said, "Continue."

Huo Zhenning said, "Tengfei Instant Noodles Company and Tengfei Garment Company have annual profits of around HK$1 billion. They are currently undertaking large-scale expansion projects, preparing to seize the inland northern market. Once completed, their profits next year are likely to exceed HK$2 billion. Tengfei Taxi Company's profits are relatively stable, around HK$600 million. Tengfei Real Estate Company is not profitable yet, but its profits will be astonishing in two years. Tengfei Investment Company remains a mystery."

"Judging from his current development trend, I conservatively estimate that within three years, Shen Dong's annual profit will exceed two billion US dollars, and that is with the fact that he only rents out his properties and does not sell them."

Upon hearing this, Li Ka-shing couldn't help but gasp.

He originally regarded Shen Dong as a promising young man who could be easily suppressed, never expecting that he would turn out to be a tiger that could devour people.

These assets combined could reach HK$50 billion. Although they are still somewhat less than his, Shen Dong is only a few years old. If he continues to develop, he will surpass him sooner or later.

If Li Ka-shing knew that Shen Dong had 10 billion US dollars in his hands, buying up stocks in the US stock market at rock-bottom prices, he probably wouldn't think that way.

"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young."

Li Ka-shing exclaimed in admiration, "Ah Ning, what do you think we should do next?"

Huo Zhenning said, "We've been keeping the Pengcheng government waiting for more than half a year in order to get the best loan terms. Now that Shen Dong has snatched them away, I think he's probably doing this to retaliate against us. Otherwise, he would have no reason to suddenly set up a port operation company."

Li Ka-shing shook his head and laughed, "You're still too young and hot-tempered. The port business isn't that easy."

Huo Zhenning said, "President Li, please don't think that way. The CEO of Tengfei Port Operation Company is Liang Xiaomeng, and he was in charge of building Mawan Port. He is an absolute genius. I wanted to poach him back then, but Liang Xiaomeng refused. With him here, there shouldn't be any major problems with the construction and operation of Tengfei Port Operation Company."

"The most terrifying person is not Liang Xiaomeng, but Shen Dong. He invested a full two billion US dollars to build the port, and he was willing to give away 10% of the share to the Pengcheng government for free."
