Pang Yan said solemnly, "What you're talking about is too big for me to decide on my own. It needs to be discussed at the board meeting. Let's leave it at that for today."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "I have 120 acres of residential land in Tseung Kwan O, and a piece of commercial land of varying sizes in Tsim Sha Tsui, Central, and Sham Shui Po. Yesterday, I also went to Shenzhen to purchase 1,000 acres of industrial land and several hundred acres of residential land. Mr. Pang, I have money and land, the only thing I lack is a qualified construction company. I hope you and your company can give this a good consideration."
Pang Yan asked, "Can you produce the relevant supporting documents for these land plots?"
Shen Dong said, "I will have Ahua bring you photocopies of these materials tomorrow."
Pang Yan asked, "What will you do if we don't agree to cooperate?"
Shen Dong laughed and said, "Then I'm sorry, your community plan will never be completed. I will find a suitable construction company to cooperate with and build seven or eight residential buildings for rent."
Pang Yan said, "So, we have no choice anymore, right?"
Shen Dong said, "That depends on whether you have the courage to go all in. My favorite business principle is 'win-win'. Because only through win-win can a business last."
Pang Yan stood up and said to Jian Aowei and Ou Yongen, "I'm sorry, I need to go back to the company immediately. I'm afraid I won't be able to have this meal with Mr. Shen."
Jane Aowei said, "You're busy."
After Pang Yan left, Jian Aowei looked Chen Dong over again and said, "I'm curious, how do you have so much capital and land? Of course, you don't have to tell me if it's inconvenient."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "There's nothing inconvenient about it. Most of this money and land was obtained by robbing. The only difference is that I never rob ordinary citizens, only those underworld bosses, such as Han Chen of the Triads. This guy robbed the Ni family of their wealth for decades and even killed their whole family. Later, I killed him, and the assets naturally fell into my hands."
Jane Aowei said, "You're quite frank."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Even if I don't say it, you can guess. So I might as well establish an honest persona to win your favor."
Upon hearing this, Jian Aowei burst into laughter.
At noon, Shen Dong treated Jian Aowei and Ou Yongen to a sumptuous lunch.
During the meal, the three chatted and laughed, talking about all sorts of things.
Shen Dong's unique insights and confidence in the future left a deep impression on Jian Aowei.
Watching the car slowly drive away, Jian Aowei uttered two words: "tyrant".
Ou Yongen laughed and said, "Godfather, aren't you overestimating Shen Dong a bit?"
Jian Aowei said, "Not at all. As long as Shen Dong doesn't get killed, I believe it won't be long before he surprises everyone. Hehe, Xiao En, you have good taste. But he already has two girlfriends, can you handle that?"
Ou Yongen blushed and said, "I'm against marriage. No matter who I fancy, it's just for fun. Once I'm done, I'll leave."
Jian Aowei gave her a deep look and said, "Those who play with emotions will eventually be played by emotions. You are not Buddha, you cannot control your own emotions and desires."
Ou Yongen pouted and took Jian Aowei's arm, saying, "Godfather, can you please stop being so aggressive? This isn't a courtroom, and I'm not your opposing lawyer."
Jian Aowei rolled his eyes and said, "You always use this trick when you can't win an argument with me."
That being said, Jian Aowei was still very pleased with Ou Yongen's coquettishness.
At 8 p.m., Shen Dong met Pang Yan again at the Bihai Nightclub.
Accompanying him was a middle-aged man named Long Qingqun.
Shen Dong had investigated and knew that Long Qingqun was the real person in charge of Longhai Real Estate Company.
Although Pang Yan is the CEO, he only owns three percent of Longhai's shares and has no real power.
However, the Long family owns 78% of Longhai's shares.
The "dragon" in Longhai comes from the Long family.
"Mr. Shen has built such a large business at such a young age, it's truly remarkable," Long Qingqun said with a smile.
Shen Dong said modestly, "Mr. Long, you flatter me. You started from scratch and built your fortune of billions in less than twenty years. Compared to you, I am still far behind."
Long Qingqun chuckled and said, "It seems you know me quite well."
Shen Dong said, "I want to cooperate with your company, so naturally I need to know something about your company. In particular, you, the chairman, are a key person I'm paying close attention to."
In fact, Shen Dong disliked Long Qingqun very much.
Looking at all the rotten things he's done, if you had to describe him in one word, Shen Dong would definitely use the idiom "insidious and vicious."
Unlike traditional businessmen like Li Ka-shing, he prefers to use underhanded methods; it's fair to say that almost every pot of gold he made was made through bloodshed.
Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, Shen Dong's ability to accumulate so much wealth in less than a year is no less than that of Long Qingqun.
However, only family members know their own affairs. Shen Dong has never harmed any ordinary citizen of Hong Kong Island and has never crossed his moral bottom line. This is the essential difference between the two.
Long Qingqun said, "Mr. Shen, after careful discussion, our board of directors has finally decided to cooperate with you."
Shen Dong said happily, "That's great."
Long Qingqun said, “I’ve looked at your land plots, and the locations are all excellent. Especially the two plots in Tsim Sha Tsui and Central, both in prime locations. Based on their size, each can be used to build two office buildings of over sixty stories. Once that’s done, the monthly rent from the four office buildings will bring you around four million in net profit, and you can break even in three to five years. I wonder if you have this plan?”
Shen Dong said, "I haven't considered the construction plans for these plots of land yet. In the coming period, I will focus my work on the two factories in Pengcheng. Once they are on track, I will deal with these plots of land in Hong Kong. Don't laugh at me, but my working capital is almost exhausted. Being able to undertake the construction of that residential area in Tin Shui Wai is my limit."
Long Qingqun said, "I can help you with the funding, at an annual interest rate of ten percent."
Shen Dong raised an eyebrow and asked, "Mr. Long, aren't you being a little too kind to me?"
There's always a reason behind unusual events.
Long Qingqun is the type of person who won't act until he sees something in return. Now that he's suddenly offering to build an office building for himself at such a low interest rate, how could Shen Dong not be suspicious?
