"Brother Dong."
"Brother Dong."
Zhou Minhui and Zhao Yazhi greeted Shen Dong with smiles.
Shen Dong was taken aback and asked, "Are you in charge of greeting guests?"
Zhou Minhui said, "We just arrived too."
Li Zekai said with a half-smile, "Mr. Shen, I heard that you and Miss Zhou are siblings. Since you've arrived, I asked her and Miss Zhou to greet you together."
Shen Dong could certainly hear the sarcasm in Li Zekai's tone, and said calmly, "Mr. Li, you are very kind."
Li Zekai said, "Mr. Shen, the river sand and cement our company purchased from Malaysia have arrived at the port. I wonder if you've made up your mind? We can discuss the price further?"
Shen Dong laughed and said, "Mr. Li, you don't really think that only your Li family can transport river sand and cement to Hong Kong Island, do you?"
Li Zekai raised an eyebrow and said, "I don't think I've heard of any other companies offering to sell you building materials."
Shen Dong said, "This only shows that you are ignorant."
Hearing their blunt conversation, Zhou Minhui and Zhao Yazhi realized that their relationship was not good.
Li Zekai scoffed, "Mr. Shen, you are a guest, and I will not engage in a war of words with you. Over the years, without exception, everyone who has dared to challenge the Li family has lowered their proud heads. I hope you can be an exception."
Shen Dong sighed and said, "I thought that after this kidnapping ordeal, you would have become more humble, but it seems I was wrong. Mr. Li Zekai, I solemnly warn you, never mess with the wrong person. Hehe, you and your father should be glad that I have retired from the underworld. Otherwise, according to my old temper, I would have wiped out your entire Li family long ago, and you wouldn't be allowed to be so arrogant in front of me."
Li Zekai said coldly, "The fact that you make such a threat only proves that you've run out of tricks."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "You're still too young. I'll show you and your son what happens when you offend me, Shen Dong."
After speaking, Shen Dong patted Li Zekai on the shoulder like an elder would to a younger person, and walked past him.
Tang Peijun glanced at Li Zekai with disdain and immediately followed.
Zhou Minhui and Zhao Yazhi, who were standing to the side, were quite embarrassed. They politely said something to Li Zekai and then followed Shen Dong into the hotel.
Zhou Minhui quickened her pace and caught up with Shen Dong, asking, "Brother Dong, is your relationship with the Li family not very good?"
Shen Dong laughed and said, "It's not just not very good, it's extremely bad. What? Are you scared?"
Zhou Minhui quickly replied, "No. I just think you're amazing, daring to offend even the famous Li family."
Shen Dong said, “It’s not that I offended the Li family, it’s that the Li family offended me. Miss Zhou, at today’s banquet, there is a high possibility that a violent conflict will break out between me and Li Ka-shing, which may even affect the future business direction of the entire Hong Kong Island. Later, you and Miss Zhao would better not stay by my side, lest the Li family, unable to deal with me, take their anger out on you.”
Zhou Minhui and Zhao Yazhi were somewhat stunned upon hearing Shen Dong's words.
A conflict with Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong's richest man?
Will it influence the overall business trend of Hong Kong Island?
My God, this is terrifying!
The two women had always thought that Shen Dong was just a rich gangster boss, but now it seems they had clearly underestimated him.
Upon entering the hall, one finds it already packed with guests.
The men were all dressed in suits and ties, while the women were dressed in flamboyant attire.
Everyone was holding their red wine and chatting enthusiastically.
Shen Dong glanced around and noticed that the guests in the hall seemed to be divided into several circles, including the political circle, the business circle, the legal circle, the entertainment circle, and so on.
Among them, the entertainment industry has the lowest status. Shen Dong saw Brother Long, who is famous all over Asia, bending over and toasting a boss with a big smile on his face.
The political circle holds the highest status, and many business celebrities are very humble when chatting with them, without the slightest trace of their usual arrogance.
The legal profession is unique; they form their own circle and are neither arrogant nor humble towards high-ranking political officials or business tycoons, always maintaining composure and elegance.
The business community is the most active, and they have connections with the political, legal, and entertainment circles.
Shen Dong said softly, "What a vast world this is."
Tang Peijun laughed and said, "That's always been the case in Hong Kong's high society."
Li Ka-shing, who was chatting with several tycoons including Li Zhaoshan and Zheng Tong, saw Shen Dong standing at the door. His eyes flashed, he apologized to the group, picked up a glass of red wine, and walked towards Shen Dong.
As the host of the banquet, Li Ka-shing's every move will be closely watched by everyone.
Therefore, everyone's attention was focused on him.
Everyone looked surprised when they saw him stop in front of a young man.
"Who is that young man? I don't think I've ever seen him before."
"Could he be the child of some political bigwig?"
"Bullshit. Even if he were the son of the Hong Kong Chief Executive, Li Ka-shing wouldn't need to treat him like that."
"Look at this young man's aura, so profound and imposing. He's not at all reserved even when facing Li Ka-shing. I bet this guy is definitely not simple."
......
The crowd was buzzing with discussion.
Among the group of lawyers, Jian Aowei took a sip of red wine and looked at Li Ka-shing and Shen Dong with great interest.
As one of the most famous senior barristers on Hong Kong Island and also a member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council, Kan O-wai's status is extraordinary, and he is always looked at differently wherever he goes.
He doesn't really like these kinds of occasions; he only came to watch the excitement.
Shen Dong did not hide his business plans from Li Xinxin and the other two women, and Ou Yongen also spoke his mind to Jian Aowei.
The moment Jian Aowei learned from Au Wing-yan the day before yesterday that Shen Dong was going to establish the Hong Kong Island Real Estate Association, he knew that today's banquet was not simple.
Now it seems that this was indeed the case.
Haha, interesting!
On the other side, Cheng Qingquan also showed a bright smile.
In the past few days, more than a dozen real estate developers have joined the Hong Kong Island Real Estate Association, bringing the total number of members in the organization to twenty-eight, covering almost all aspects of the real estate industry.
The funniest thing is that Li Ka-shing invited them all to the banquet.
Cheng Qingquan is now particularly looking forward to seeing what expressions Li Ka-shing, Li Zhaoshan, Cheng Tong, and other tycoons will have when they see 28 large and medium-sized real estate companies in Hong Kong unite to fight against their monopoly.
......
Li Ka-shing walked up to Shen Dong and said with a smile, "Mr. Shen, I had someone investigate your company. At only twenty-something years old, you have been able to establish a company like Tengfei Group. That's truly remarkable."
Shen Dong said, "Sir Li, you flatter me. Tengfei's other businesses are just small-scale operations. What I really value is the real estate industry. Therefore, I have handed over the management of other companies to my subordinates and focused on real estate myself."
Li Ka-shing said, "Mr. Shen, the real estate industry is very special; it's not something you can do just because you have money."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "You're right, I've already felt it. By the way, Sir Li, it seems you still owe me an apology."
