Upon hearing Shen Dong's words, Ding Yao was deeply shaken.
She had only met Lei Gong's son, Lei Fuhong, a few times and didn't take him seriously at all.
Ding Yao was shocked to learn that Shen Dong valued Lei Fuhong so much, and immediately decided to eliminate him completely.
Ding Yao bowed to Shen Dong and said, "Thank you again for reminding me."
Shen Dong waved his hand and said, "Compared to Lei Fuhong, whom I don't even know, I still hope you can take that position. Miss Ding, I wish you all the best."
Ding Yao said, "Thank you."
The internal strife within the Sanlian Gang has absolutely nothing to do with Shen Dong.
The reason he instigated Ding Yao's murderous intent towards Lei Fuhong was simply to make their fight more intense and result in more deaths.
To put it bluntly, it's all for merit points.
After the stock market crash in the United States, Shen Dong felt that he should learn how to trade stocks, so he spent 500,000 merit points to purchase advanced stock trading skills.
After acquiring this skill, Shen Dong realized that stock trading was not simple at all.
Not only does it require strong psychological qualities, but it also requires a vast foundation in financial theory and countless practical experiences. Shen Dong has basically reached the level of a top-tier financial and economic expert.
Shen Dong is now eager to acquire master-level stock trading skills, but he only has 630,000 merit points left, which is 570,000 away from achieving his goal.
Therefore, Shen Dong needs to work harder to earn merit points.
The fastest way to earn merit points is to take down those underworld bosses.
Although Big D has done many bad things, he has a good relationship with Shen Dong.
Eliminating him at this stage would be detrimental to Shen Dong.
Ding Yao and Lei Fuhong of the Sanlian Gang hadn't done too many bad things; they were just trying to drag those bastards who had sold heroin into it.
After more than two years of exploration, Shen Dong has figured out some of the system's logic.
It calculates merit points based on the role Shen Dong plays in a particular event.
For example, Uncle Ben, the leader of Tung Sing, was awarded 520,000 merit points by the system because it was Shen Dong's $20 million underhanded spending that played the biggest role.
If the internal strife within the Sanlian Gang can severely damage the gang, then Shen Dong will definitely gain a very high amount of merit points.
Of course, this was just something he did on a whim; what Shen Dong really wanted to kill was Lin Huai Le.
Like Big D, Lin Huai-le has been in the heroin business, killing countless people.
If they could just kill him, they might be able to get their hands on the remaining 570,000 merit points. That's why Shen Dong encouraged Ding Yao to team up with Da D to fight Lin Huai Le.
It would be great if it succeeded, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't.
At worst, Shen Dong will take matters into his own hands.
Anyway, since Uncle Ben died at Peng Yixing's hands, Shen Dong could easily impersonate Peng Yixing and kill him with a gun.
Two days later, Shen Dong and Tang Peijun, riding in a stretched Lincoln and escorted by six luxury cars, headed to the Four Seasons Hotel in a grand procession.
Inside the car, Chen Dong, dressed in a suit, crossed his legs and swirled a cup of coffee in his hand, asking, "Old Tang, how much did this car cost?"
Tang Peijun held up two fingers and said, "Two million US dollars."
Shen Dong frowned and said, "Damn, so expensive?"
Tang Peijun said, "Brother Dong, this is a symbol of status. For example, Li Ka-shing, his car is also a Lincoln, worth eight million US dollars, which is ridiculously expensive."
Shen Dong curled his lip and said, "I feel that this kind of car has no advantages other than being big. It's not as useful as a minivan."
Tang Peijun said, "There's nothing we can do about it; these kinds of cars are popular among the upper class in Hong Kong now."
Shen Dong turned to look at the brightly lit night view of the Central and Western Ring Road outside the car window, spat, and said, "They're all just burning money. When we reach Li Ka-shing's level, we'll all go to banquets in minivans and see what the media says."
Tang Peijun smiled and said, "They'll just say you're low-key enough. Speaking of the media, Brother Dong, shouldn't we buy a newspaper? In Hong Kong, it's very inconvenient for us to do things without our own mouthpiece."
Shen Dong said, "I've considered this issue long ago. It's not just the newspapers, but also TVB and ATV, the two largest channels of public opinion, which should ideally also be under our control."
Tang Peijun touched his nose and said, "The newspaper is easy to take over, but taking control of these two television stations will probably be very difficult."
Shen Dong said, "Even if we can't control them, at the very least we should have influence over these two TV stations."
Tang Peijun nodded and said, "I'll send someone to investigate their shareholding structure tomorrow to see if there's any chance of becoming a shareholder in either of the two TV stations."
Shen Dong said, "As soon as possible."
No one expected that during their casual conversation, the future media giant, Tengfei Media Group, would be established.
Four Seasons Hotel Central & Western District
A 20-meter-long red carpet stretched out from the entrance, surrounded by dazzling lights and a lively atmosphere.
A large group of media reporters stood on both sides of the red carpet, holding up their cameras and constantly pressing the shutter, the flashes almost turning the night into day.
"As expected of Li Ka-shing, he even has to book the entire Four Seasons Hotel for a banquet."
"He's the richest man in Hong Kong, booking a hotel is nothing to him."
Do you know who Li Ka-shing has been hiring?
"I heard that he originally only wanted to invite some bigwigs in the real estate industry to a gathering, but somehow it turned into a big gathering of Hong Kong's celebrities. There were not only business tycoons, but also many celebrities from the political and legal circles, and even more than a dozen entertainment stars came."
"Look, Zhou Minhui and Zhao Yazhi, who are famous all over Hong Kong Island, have also come."
"I heard that the two of them will be performing at the banquet."
......
The crowd at the scene was abuzz with discussion.
At the hotel entrance, Li Zekai greeted the guests on behalf of Li Ka-shing.
No matter who he was facing, he always greeted them with a smile and politeness.
When it was Zhou Minhui's and Zhao Yazhi's turn, Li Zekai first shook hands with them, then turned his gaze to Zhou Minhui and said, "Miss Zhou, I heard that you are Mr. Shen Dong's god-sister. I wonder if this rumor is true or false?"
Zhou Minhui nodded and said, "It's true. Mr. Li, do you know Brother Dong?"
Li Zekai gave a strange look and said, "Of course. My son and I are old friends with Mr. Shen, and we invited him this time as well."
Zhou Minhui laughed and said, "Brother Dong really has a wide circle of friends. He even knows you and Mr. Li Ka-shing."
Just then, Li Zekai's eyes lit up and he said, "Mr. Shen has arrived. Please come with me to greet him."
Zhou Minhui, completely unaware of Li Zekai's attitude towards Shen Dong, said, "Okay."
For Shen Dong, walking the red carpet is a first-time experience, whether in her past or present life.
Reporters around him were snapping photos frantically, and the constant flashes made his eyes blurry.
Fortunately, the red carpet was short, and with Tang Peijun by his side, Shen Dong avoided making a fool of himself.
