That evening, the Bihai Nightclub reopened.
Compared to usual, customer traffic was down by half, and profits were only around 1.5 million.
However, the vast majority of the beautiful women who worked with the nightclubs did not leave.
As long as they're there, their former customers will come back sooner or later.
Cheng Qingquan is very efficient and decisive in his work.
The next morning, he had someone deliver a check for HK$420 million and a transfer agreement for Cheng's Construction Company to Shen Dong.
Shen Dong did not sign the contract immediately, but instead sent Song Zihao with financial staff to check the financial situation of Cheng's Construction Company.
As it turns out, Shen Dong was being petty and judging others by his own standards.
Cheng's Construction Company's accounts are very clear, with no loans or debts.
After signing the contract, Shen Dong began looking for a CEO for Tengfei Real Estate Company.
During this period, Shen Dong was in charge of the management of Tengfei Real Estate Company.
The problem is that Shen Dong can't devote all his energy to the real estate company, so he has to find a suitable person to serve as CEO and handle some of the company's trivial matters.
But in terms of the overall direction, Shen Dong has to make the final decision.
As an international metropolis, Hong Kong Island has the most business talent.
The job posting for a monthly income of HK$200,000 immediately attracted countless applicants.
"Brother Dong, here are forty-six resumes, all for the position of CEO of our real estate company. Please take a look." Song Zihao said respectfully as he placed a large stack of materials in front of Shen Dong.
Shen Dong picked up the resumes, flipped through a few at random, and frowned, saying, "These resumes are all cut from the same cloth, there's absolutely nothing special about them. Ah Hao, have you looked at them? Are there any particularly noteworthy people?"
"There's someone I find quite interesting."
Song Zihao found a resume for a man named Tang Peijun and said, "He used to be the CEO of Longhai Real Estate Company. For some reason, he was beaten and thrown out by Long Qingqun ten years ago."
For the past six months, Tengfei Real Estate Company and Longhai Real Estate Company have been in a honeymoon period.
The four office buildings in Central and Tsim Sha Tsui are expected to be topped out in about a month, and the largest residential complex in Tin Shui Wai is also under construction.
Once these two projects are completed, Shen Dong will be able to earn more than 300 million yuan a year just from rent alone.
With business connections, Shen Dong and Long Qingqun naturally met frequently.
Long Qingqun kept a very humble attitude, praising Shen Dong every time they met, and even lending Shen Dong 300 million yuan at a 10% interest rate.
They provided money and labor to build a house for Shen Dong. Shen Dong had never even heard of such a good thing, let alone seen it.
Needless to say, this guy is definitely up to no good.
Shen Dong picked up Tang Peijun's resume and looked at it. Apart from serving as CEO of Longhai Real Estate Company for eight years, his other experience was almost blank.
What interested Shen Dong was that he left a sentence in the last space, in very small font.
If you're not paying attention, most people wouldn't even notice it.
"Beware of Long Qingqun."
Shen Dong read it aloud and smiled, "Ah Hao, what do you think of this Tang Peijun?"
Song Zihao said, "It's hard to say now. It would be best if we could meet him."
Shen Dong said, "Call him immediately and bring him over. I want to see what kind of person this Tang Peijun really is."
An hour later, Shen Dong met Tang Peijun.
According to his resume, this guy is 44 years old this year, but judging from his appearance, he must be at least 60.
Even with careful grooming, his face still bore the marks of time, but his eyes remained resolute and deep, giving the impression that he was indomitable and unbreakable.
"Mr. Tang, it seems you haven't been doing very well these past few years?"
Tang Peijun said with a wry smile, "Displaced."
Shen Dong asked him to sit down, then asked with interest, "You made great contributions to the development and growth of Longhai Real Estate Company, but I don't understand why you two eventually parted ways?"
Tang Peijun said, “Long Qingqun and I have different philosophies. I believe that for a company to develop, it must take an upright path, while Long Qingqun prefers to resort to crooked means, often using unfair methods to seize land and harm those who are being relocated. Although he can do it without breaking the law, this method is simply unsustainable. In the end, I couldn’t bear it any longer and submitted my resignation to him. What I never expected was that Long Qingqun would actually attack me, not only breaking my leg but also trying to kill me. Fortunately, I fled overseas, otherwise, I would be a skeleton by now.”
Shen Dong asked, "What kind of business have you been doing overseas for the past ten years? Why did you come back?"
Tang Peijun said, "I run a financial company, but unfortunately it failed. Some time ago, I heard that you and Long Qingqun were developing a number of properties together, so I returned to Hong Kong and submitted my resume."
Shen Dong asked, "Since you've partnered with Long Qingqun before, you should be very familiar with his methods. I can't imagine how Long Qingqun could possibly snatch those properties from me?"
Tang Peijun said, "First, he will use every means to kill you, then forge several transfer agreements and take over your properties."
Shen Dong asked curiously, "A forged agreement?"
Tang Peijun said, “Long Qingquan is a master calligrapher who can imitate anyone’s handwriting. As long as he prepares the agreement, imitates your handwriting to sign his name, and then after you die, he can press your finger on it, and it will naturally have legal effect. I now suspect that he probably wants more than just these few properties; he may even want your other businesses, especially the Bihai Nightclub that makes a fortune every day.”
Shen Dong laughed heartily and said, "Talented and cunning, what a fine Long Qingqun."
Song Zihao said, "Brother Dong, we must be wary of this Long Qingqun."
Shen Dong said, "That's for sure. The fact that he lent us money at a mere 10% interest rate to build houses is suspicious in itself. How could I not be wary of him? Mr. Tang, would you be interested in becoming the CEO of our Tengfei Real Estate Company?"
Tang Peijun immediately replied, "Of course. However, it's best not to let Long Qingqun know of my existence."
