Li Fenglin said, "In five days, Li Ka-shing will have hundreds of thousands of tons of cement and river sand arriving in Hong Kong. The price of one ton of cement exceeds two thousand Hong Kong dollars, and the price of one ton of sand is three hundred and twenty Hong Kong dollars. Mr. Shen, what are the prices of your building materials?"
This issue directly relates to the vital interests of all property developers on Hong Kong Island, and all the dozen or so businessmen present looked at Shen Dong.
Shen Dong looked at Tang Peijun beside him, and Tang Peijun said, "Members who join the association will receive HK$120 per ton of sand and HK$800 per ton of cement. Non-members will receive HK$200 and HK$1300 respectively."
"good."
"marvelous."
"Clap clap clap clap"
A round of enthusiastic applause erupted inside the private room.
After the applause subsided, Tang Peijun said, "Gentlemen, please don't be too happy yet. Let me finish. If we sell building materials at this price, it will inevitably have a huge impact on the interests of real estate tycoons like Li Ka-shing. If we offend them, our Tengfei Real Estate Company will certainly suffer strong suppression from them."
"As a newly established real estate company, we cannot withstand their wrath. So if everyone wants affordable building materials and to break through their monopoly, they must provide Tengfei Real Estate Company with a guarantee of security."
"Otherwise, we will only stand with these super-rich people and continue to engage in monopolies."
Guo Yangyuan asked, "What kind of guarantee do you want?"
Tang Peijun held up one finger and said, "The membership fee of HK$100 million per person will all be handed over to our Tengfei Real Estate Company. Within five years, we will provide everyone with enough cement and river sand in a guaranteed quantity and quality. After five years, the HK$100 million will be fully refunded."
"During this period, all members must unite closely. No matter who is unreasonably suppressed by top tycoons like Li Ka-shing and Li Zhaoshan, everyone should contribute money and effort to help them overcome the difficulties."
"If anyone betrays the association, the 100 million membership fee will be divided equally among all members."
"We have already prepared the relevant legal agreements, and everyone can consider them carefully."
Lei Shanlin exhaled a deep puff of smoke and said, "What's there to consider? Everyone knows how much cement and sand it takes to build a skyscraper. At the price Mr. Shen gave, we can earn back this 100 million very quickly. Where's the membership agreement? I'll sign it first, and then have someone transfer the money tomorrow."
Guo Yangyuan said, "I'll join too. Li Ka-shing and his team are too ruthless. If this continues, my company will be finished in less than three years. Damn it, I still have two projects that haven't even started yet."
Other business owners also expressed their willingness to pay money to sign contracts and have a good fight with those super business tycoons.
After the contract was signed, Cheng Qingquan smiled and said, "President Shen, with the strong support of thirteen companies, you should be at ease now, right?"
Shen Dong nodded and said, "Don't worry. Gentlemen, I had no choice. The other side is too powerful. I can only try to protect myself first. I hope you can understand."
Guo Yangyuan chuckled and said, “President Shen, we understand. Anyone else would probably have colluded with Li Ka-shing and his cronies to exploit and blockade us. Why would they take such a big risk to cooperate with us? I, Guo Yangyuan, admire your benevolence and righteousness the most. Everyone, let’s raise a glass to President Shen to thank him for his great kindness and righteousness.”
Everyone raised their glasses and said in unison, "Thank you, President Chen."
Shen Dong said, "Before we drink, let me say this: please keep this a secret. We'll announce it after Li Ka-shing has transported those hundreds of thousands of tons of building materials to Hong Kong Island. You all understand what I mean, right?"
Everyone burst into laughter and said, "Understood."
Shen Dong raised his glass and said, "Cheers."
At the banquet, everyone enjoyed themselves immensely.
At this banquet, Shen Dong was the youngest, but his composure, wisdom, magnanimity, and confidence left a deep impression on everyone.
Even the usually arrogant Guo Yangyuan told Cheng Qingquan in private that this young man was a born leader.
During the gathering, everyone unanimously elected Shen Dong as the president of the Hong Kong Island Real Estate Association.
After feigning reluctance for a few moments, Shen Dong became the association's first president without hesitation.
With the support of these dozen or so business owners, Shen Dong finally gained a foothold in the business world of Hong Kong Island.
After a satisfying meal, everyone went home in high spirits.
Cheng Qingquan deliberately left it to the end and said to Shen Dong, "Ah Dong, your battle with Li Ka-shing and the others is about to begin."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "Old Cheng, to tell you the truth, I seized Li Ka-shing's port when I went to Pengcheng a while ago. I guess he doesn't know about it yet."
Cheng Qingquan was taken aback at first, then smiled and said, "You're really something."
Shen Dong said, "Mr. Cheng, I see you've also signed an agreement. Are you preparing to re-enter the real estate industry?"
Cheng Qingquan said, "Why not?"
Shen Dong said, "Let me make this clear first, I will never return the construction company to you."
Cheng Qingquan said proudly, "I have a real estate company in both the United States and Malaysia, and the construction teams under my company are qualified to build any building up to sixty stories high. I also registered one in Hong Kong Island, intending to transfer them all over after the business grew, but the company ended up failing miserably. Fortunately, the real estate business in the United States and Malaysia is doing well, so I have kept them."
Shen Dong gave a thumbs up and said, "As expected, experience counts."
Cheng Qingquan laughed heartily.
At the same time, Li Ka-shing was at home talking with Li Wenbin and Li Xiu, who had come to visit.
