Ahua smiled slightly and went with Xiahou Wu and Feng Yuxiu to get the money.
After all, this was a bearer check for 25 million US dollars, and only with two top-notch experts protecting it could Ahua feel at ease.
Shen Dong stretched out his arms and said, "Ms. Ou, thank you very much."
Ou Yongen hugged him and whispered, "The opposing lawyer clearly underperformed. Have you already taken care of Carmes behind the scenes?"
Shen Dong smiled and said, "That's not important. What's important is that we won the lawsuit."
Ou Yongen snorted and said, "You won the lawsuit, not me. Come on, let me introduce you to my godfather."
The two approached Jian Aowei, and Ou Yongen said, "Godfather, this is Shen Dong."
Jane Aowei didn't put on airs like a great lawyer. He extended his hand and said, "No wonder my proud goddaughter looks at you differently. Mr. Shen is indeed extraordinary."
As the younger generation, Shen Dong held Jian Aowei's hand, bowed slightly, and said politely, "Mr. Jian, hello. Ms. Ou Yongen and I are good friends. You can call me A Dong."
Seeing that Shen Dong was humble and polite, without a trace of the gangster air of a Hung Hing leader, Jian Aowei admired him even more and said, "Ah Dong, if you're not busy, how about we go for a cup of coffee together?"
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Please, elder, I dare not refuse."
The three of them went to a nearby coffee shop and sat down.
Jian Aowei said, "Xiao En, you did very well today. You've made great progress compared to before."
Ou Yongen pursed her lips and said, "Forget it. The opposing lawyer didn't even give it his all. My victory was unfair."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Attorney Ou, what the opposing lawyer does is his business. You have done your best. Now that we have won this case, I believe those other well-known clothing brands will no longer cause me trouble."
Ou Yongen said, "If you're in the clothing business, can't you hire your own designers?"
Shen Dong said, "I'm considering this. Once my factory in Pengcheng is built, I will truly establish my own brand, Tengfei Apparel. At that time, I will definitely tailor-make several of the most beautiful women's outfits for you."
Ou Yongen smiled broadly and said, "At least you still have some conscience."
Seeing Ou Yongen's expression, Jian Aowei sighed inwardly.
My goddaughter is hopeless.
"Ah Dong, what are your plans for the future? You seem to be doing legitimate work, so you probably won't stay in Hung Hing forever, right?"
Shen Dong said, "I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me, but my target is Li Ka-shing."
Jian Aowei gave a thumbs up and said, "That's ambitious. You just said you wanted to build a factory in Shenzhen, is it because you're optimistic about the future development of the inland areas?"
Shen Dong nodded and said, "That's right."
Jian Aowei said, "I know many wealthy businessmen on Hong Kong Island, and they don't seem to be very interested in investing in the mainland."
Shen Dong said dismissively, "This only shows that they are short-sighted."
Jian Aowei smiled and said, "You are very confident."
A startling light flashed in Shen Dong's eyes as he said, "The sea has no bounds, the sky is its shore; I stand atop the mountain, the peak is mine. If I don't even have this much confidence, I might as well go home and take care of my kids."
Jane Aowei exclaimed, "What a spirit! I look forward to the day you succeed!"
Shen Dong said, "I believe that day is not far off."
Ou Yongen, standing to the side, gazed at Shen Dong, who was full of lofty ambitions, with a look of infatuation on her face.
Just then, a middle-aged man walked in.
"Attorney Jane, Miss Ou, it's been a long time."
The visitor was none other than Pang Yan, the CEO of Longhai Real Estate Company.
Jian Aowei greeted him with a smile, saying, "Mr. Pang, it has indeed been a long time. Are you here for coffee too?"
Pang Yan shook his head and said, "No, I'm here to find someone."
Jian Aowei glanced around and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Pang Yan pointed at Shen Dong and said, "Him."
Jian Aowei was slightly taken aback, not expecting that Pang Yan, a real estate tycoon, would know Shen Dong.
Shen Dong smiled and said, "President Pang, you seem to have arrived a bit early, which may be very detrimental to your upcoming negotiations."
Pang Yan sat down next to Jian Aowei and said, "If you sell that land to someone else, the situation will be even more unfavorable."
Jian Aowei sensed that the two seemed to have business to discuss, so he said, "Xiao En, we should go."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Mr. Jian, my affair with President Pang is not a secret. You and Ms. Ou don't need to avoid suspicion. I'll be treating you both to dinner later."
Pang Yan said, "I wonder if I could be included?"
Shen Dong smiled and said, "As long as Mr. Jian and Ms. Ou don't mind, I certainly won't mind either."
Jian Aowei said, "Alright, then we'll respectfully comply."
Pang Yan looked intently at Shen Dong and said, "Mr. Shen, I'm willing to pay eight times the price to buy the land you own. What do you think?"
Shen Dong shook his head and said bluntly, "It's nothing. I don't need your 80 million."
Pang Yan frowned and asked, "Then what do you want?"
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Cooperation. I am very optimistic about the future of the property market. Your company has the best construction team in Hong Kong Island and is qualified to build buildings with more than seventy floors, so I would like to cooperate with your company to develop a property project."
Pang Yan's pupils contracted sharply. He said, "Mr. Shen, your ambitions are great, but you'd better be realistic. You should know that building a 45-story residential building costs at least 50 million Hong Kong dollars. How many such residential buildings do you think you can build?"
Can 50 million yuan really build a 45-story residential building?
Holy crap, this is way too cheap.
Shen Dong was shocked. He picked up his coffee, took a small sip, and calmed himself down before saying, "Thirty or forty buildings should be no problem."
"Depend on"
Hearing Shen Dong's arrogant words, Pang Yan wanted to pick up his coffee and throw it in his face.
It's utterly ridiculous that a short, stocky member of the Hung Hing triad claims he can come up with two billion to build thirty or forty buildings.
Jian Aowei and Ou Yongen were also visibly shocked.
Pang Yan chuckled and said, "Mr. Shen, if you can really come up with two billion yuan, I can represent Longhai Real Estate Company to cooperate with you in developing a real estate project."
Shen Dong could easily see that Pang Yan was doubting his capabilities, and said with a smile, "We can talk about the money later. Mr. Pang, I know you're planning to build the largest residential complex on Hong Kong Island in Tin Shui Wai, but I'm not entirely clear on the details. According to your plan, how many buildings will this complex have? How much funding will it require to complete?"
Pang Yan did not hide anything and said, "Including your land, it is a total of 320 acres. Our plan is to build four 60-story buildings, eight 45-story buildings, and twelve 36-story buildings. The total investment in infrastructure is about 3 billion Hong Kong dollars."
Shen Dong said without hesitation, "I want half."
Pang Yan's eyes flashed, and he said, "Are you sure you're not joking?"
Shen Dong said, "Of course."
