Shen Dong told Ahua to take everyone back, leaving only four top experts by his side: Li Jie, Tian Yangsheng, Xiahou Wu, and Feng Yuxiu.
These five people together are enough to bring together not only Hung Tai, but also all the triads on Hong Kong Island.
They could escape without even firing a gun.
They arrived at a teahouse less than 100 meters from the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station, where Shen Dong, Hong Wen, and Cheng Qingquan sat together.
Cheng Qingquan clapped his hands, and Cheng Donglai came out carrying a pot of tea.
He personally poured a cup of tea for the three of them and stood obediently beside Cheng Qingquan.
Hong Wen coughed and said, "Ah Dong, you're so smart, you should be able to guess why we're here, right?"
Shen Dong nodded and said, "I guessed it. Brother Wen, I've always been a man of the rules. I abide by the rules of the underworld in the triads, and I abide by the rules of the business world. If Mr. Cheng Donglai had obtained a thousand taxi licenses, I, Shen Dong, would not have made any trouble for him. Hong Kong is so big, there are so many profitable businesses, I don't need to put all my eggs in one basket. This incident was entirely because Mr. Cheng Donglai broke the rules and used the power of the Cheng family to attack and suppress me, so I had no choice but to retaliate."
"Mr. Cheng, if you were me, could you swallow this insult?"
Cheng Qingquan said, "People fight for their pride, even Buddhas fight for a stick of incense. If it were me, I would fight back too."
Shen Dong clapped his hands and laughed, "I'm very happy that Elder Cheng would say such a thing."
Cheng Qingquan said solemnly, "Mr. Shen, this time it was all my son's fault. He has done something wrong and of course he has to take responsibility. But two billion is too much. Even our Cheng family cannot come up with it in a short period of time."
Hong Wen chimed in, "Ah Dong, you don't really want two billion, do you?"
"That was just an angry outburst. How could I possibly really want two billion?"
Shen Dong held up two fingers and said, "Mr. Cheng, I have two conditions."
Cheng Qingquan said, "Please speak."
Shen Dong said, "The first condition is that since the matter started because of a thousand taxi license plates, it should end with those thousand taxi license plates."
Cheng Qingquan immediately understood Shen Dong's meaning and said, "I will have someone deliver the HK$420 million check from Citibank to you this afternoon."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "Sure. My second condition is that I know your Cheng family owns a large construction company, and I want 50% of the shares."
The Cheng Group also operates in real estate and owns a construction company with full qualifications that allows it to build commercial and residential buildings up to sixty stories high.
Seemingly wary of Cheng Group, Li Ka-shing and several other real estate tycoons have been working together to suppress it in recent years, preventing Cheng's Real Estate Company from ever developing.
Shen Dong acquired a considerable amount of land from Han Chen, including a hundred acres of construction land in Tseung Kwan O.
In order to maximize profits, Shen Dong did not choose to cooperate with any real estate company.
Therefore, no construction has started on these plots of land to date.
If Shen Dong could acquire half of Cheng's Construction Company's shares, he could immediately begin construction on these projects, and profits would naturally follow.
Cheng Qingquan thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Shen, if you are interested in real estate, I can give you the entire construction company as a package."
Shen Dong was taken aback and said, "Mr. Cheng, you're not planning to go into the real estate business anymore?"
Cheng Qingquan nodded and said, "The Cheng Group is too conspicuous. Many real estate tycoons don't want us to enter this industry and compete with them for business, so they often join forces to suppress me. Basically, we lose tens of millions every year. We haven't made up our minds before, but now it's time to get rid of this burden."
Shen Dong asked, "How much money do you want?"
Cheng Qingquan said in a deep voice, "I won't take a single penny; I just want to be your friend."
Shen Dong remained silent for a long time before suddenly laughing and saying, "No wonder Mr. Cheng was able to start from scratch and build such a great business. His magnanimity and ambition alone are truly admirable. Alright, I'll take the construction company. Consider it a favor I owe you."
Cheng Qingquan wanted Shen Dong's favor, so he said, "Then it's settled."
Shen Dong picked up his mobile phone and dialed Ahua's number directly.
"Ahua, the meeting went very smoothly. Take Li home."
"clear."
Cheng Qingquan picked up his teacup and said with a smile, "Thank you."
Shen Dong bumped into him and said, "Of course."
With this clinking of glasses, the somewhat tense atmosphere in the teahouse eased considerably.
Cheng Qingquan, Hong Wen, and Shen Dong sat together and chatted for a full hour before leaving.
On the way back, Cheng Qingquan still had the image of Shen Dong's spirited expression when talking about the development of the mainland in his mind. He said, "Awen, I can now basically conclude that Shen Dong is from the mainland. No one from Hong Kong Island would have such a strong sense of belonging to the mainland."
Hong Wen nodded and said, "I sensed that too. Brother Quan, when you gave him the construction company, were you thinking of befriending him?"
Cheng Qingquan said, "This Shen Dong is no simple person. His views on some business matters are more unique than mine, and his vision is even more accurate. In addition, it's only a matter of time before Hong Kong Island returns to the mainland. It's much better to be friends with him than enemies."
Hong Wendao agreed, "You're right."
Cheng Qingquan turned to Cheng Donglai beside him and said, "Alai, don't think about revenge. You can't beat him, understand?"
Cheng Donglai said, "As long as my wife and children return safely, I promise I won't cause him any trouble."
Just then, his cell phone rang.
