Shen Dong patted his shoulder, sighed, and said, "No one knows better than me how tough it is to be an undercover agent. Ah Ren, Ah Ji, the reason I kept you here was simply to give you more options. I'm glad you chose our Tengfei Group."
Chen Yongren and Luo Ji exchanged a glance and said gratefully at the same time, "Thank you, Brother Dong."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "This matter should be kept to ourselves from now on. Although I am not afraid of my identity being revealed to the outside world, it is better to avoid trouble. We don't need to create trouble for ourselves."
The two replied in unison, "Yes, Brother Dong."
On the other side, Li Wenbin, who was in the car, felt his pockets and found that his bugging device was gone.
Remembering that Shen Dong had deliberately shaken his hand before leaving, Li Wenbin immediately realized that Shen Dong had already noticed his little trick.
"Damn, this Shen Dong is really cunning."
Li Xiu asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Wenbin said, "He had already guessed that I was carrying a bugging device, so he refused to admit that he was an undercover agent. Before leaving, he even stole my bugging device. It's outrageous."
Li Xiu laughed and said, "He did it on purpose. Given how cautious and careful this guy has always been, he wouldn't admit it even if there wasn't a bug."
Lu Qichang said, "Axiu, I find your reaction to the fact that Shen Dong is an undercover agent to be strange. You don't seem surprised at all."
Li Xiu said, "Because I once suspected he was an undercover agent."
Li Wenbin immediately became interested and asked, "Why do you suspect him?"
Li Xiudao said, “He’s just like me back then. He was in the triads, but he always stuck to his principles and bottom line. Haven’t you noticed? He was only ruthless to those gangsters, but he never hurt an ordinary citizen. He even did a lot of good deeds for the children in the orphanage. If all the triad bosses were like him, Hong Kong would have been peaceful long ago.”
Li Wenbin said, "No matter what, the fact that Shen Dong is an undercover agent is definitely a great thing for us. We can keep in touch with him regularly in the future, and maybe we can get some important information from him. After all, he used to be a policeman, and I believe he has some sense of responsibility."
Li Xiu and Lu Qichang both nodded.
Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Thanks to the joint efforts of the Hong Kong Island government and business community, the most difficult days for the Hong Kong Island stock market have finally passed safely.
Upon arriving at Tengfei Real Estate Company, Shen Dong listened to Tang Peijun's report.
"Mr. Shen, as you instructed, we have spent over two billion US dollars to purchase eight commercial buildings, six office buildings, and four residential areas. At the same time, we have also purchased three prime plots of land from several wealthy individuals, enough to build six commercial buildings or office buildings."
Shen Dong nodded and asked, "Have the relevant property management arrangements for these properties been completed?"
Tang Peijun smiled and said, "I was just about to report to you. I want to acquire Longhai's property management company."
Shen Dong was taken aback, then said, "Explain in detail."
Tang Peijun said, "Zhou Da, the property manager of Longhai, used to be my subordinate, and we had a very good relationship. He suddenly came to me before, wanting to join our Tengfei Real Estate Company. I didn't agree on the spot, but only said that I needed to report to you."
“These past few days, I’ve had people conduct a detailed investigation of Longhai Property Management Company and found that their management and services are top-notch. However, Ada and his team are not valued by the head office and their salaries are among the lowest. After learning that I had become the head of Tengfei Real Estate Company, he thought of bringing his people to join me.”
Shen Dong said, "We will have many rental properties in the future that need property management to safeguard them; this is the most important foundation. My original plan was to hand them over to an external property management company. Now that we have the means, let's set up Tengfei Property Management directly at the local level."
Tang Peijun said, "Okay. Once Ada arrives, I will recruit another batch of people and have professionals train them. Only those who pass the exam will be allowed to work."
Shen Dong hummed in agreement and said, "Let's do it that way. Is there anything else?"
Tang Peijun said, "President Shen, that plot of land near Kowloon, about 40,000 square meters, will be auctioned tomorrow. Would you like to go?"
Shen Dong's eyes flashed, and he said, "We have to go. Our Tengfei Real Estate Company has bought so many properties, which I believe has already attracted the attention of industry giants like Li Ka-shing. We have to go and make an appearance to announce Tengfei's entry into the market to these wealthy people."
Upon hearing Shen Dong's words, Tang Peijun felt a surge of pride and said loudly, "The thought of competing with these legendary figures on the same platform makes my blood boil."
Shen Dong said, "Cooperation and competition are the main themes in the business world. I like win-win cooperation, but I am never afraid of competition."
The following afternoon, Shen Dong and Tang Peijun entered the Jiadeli Auction House.
They arrived late, with less than five minutes left before the auction was scheduled to begin.
The wealthy people who came to attend the auction have all arrived.
Shen Dong immediately spotted Li Ka-shing sitting in the front center seat.
He was chatting with Li Zhaoshan, the founder of Li's Real Estate Company, who was sitting next to him.
Seemingly sensing Shen Dong's gaze, Li Ka-shing turned his head to look over.
Shen Dong smiled and nodded at him.
Li Ka-shing was taken aback at first, then smiled politely at him.
Li Zhaoshan glanced at Shen Dong and asked, "Do you know this young man?"
Li Ka-shing said, "I don't know him. But I feel that he has an extraordinary aura."
Li Zhaoshan chuckled and said, "This is the first time I've heard you give such high praise to a young man. He would be very proud if he knew."
Li Ka-shing said, "Perhaps they don't care at all."
Besides the two super-rich tycoons, Li Ka-shing and Li Siu-shan, other prominent families from Hong Kong Island also arrived.
Shen Dong glanced around and saw that they were all frequent figures in the news media.
He and Tang Peijun were relatively unknown, and the organizers arranged for them to sit in the two seats on the far right.
Tang Peijun said with dissatisfaction, "You're looking down on people like that."
Shen Dong said softly, "If you want to earn respect, you need to demonstrate the strength to silence everyone. Don't rush, within three years, we will definitely be sitting in the front row."
Tang Peijun nodded and said, "I believe you."
The auction officially began at 3:00 PM.
The host then introduced the 40,000-square-meter construction site in Kowloon.
It must be said that the location of this land is indeed excellent, situated in the most prosperous area of Kowloon, making it ideal for building commercial buildings.
If you're willing to spend the money to build something big, it could definitely become a landmark building in Kowloon.
The host said, "Ladies and gentlemen, our requirement is that whoever wins the bid for this land must start construction as soon as possible and build a commercial building of no less than fifty stories within three years. This is a mandatory requirement, and if they fail to do so, we will pursue their legal responsibility."
"Alright, the auction will now begin. The starting price is HK$200 million, and each bid must be at least HK$10 million."
