Shen Dong's smile vanished, and he said coldly, "My company was built from scratch over two years, while you're just a rich second-generation heir who reaps the benefits without sowing. Young Master Li, do you think you have the right to speak to me like that?"
"you..."
Li Zekai was furious.
Li Ka-shing said, "Mr. Shen, I think we need to have a serious talk."
Shen Dong said calmly, "From the day you tried to take over my project, there's nothing left for us to talk about."
Li Zekai said, "You're just an ungrateful dwarf."
Shen Dong said, “I am indeed a short mule. Eight years of Hung Hing have taught me a lesson: when dealing with friends, loyalty comes first, and you will gain many friends and partners who will share life and death with you. When dealing with enemies, you must be ruthless and cold-blooded, without any mercy, and you must wipe them out completely. I think these two principles should also apply to the business world.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than the Li family's butler rushed over.
"Sir Li, Young Master Li, something terrible has happened! A group of bandits have stormed our villa, killing anyone they see and even blowing up the house."
"What did you say?"
Li Ka-shing's expression changed drastically, and he stared straight at Shen Dong.
Li Zekai roared angrily, "Shen Dong, you have the audacity to bomb our Li family villa!"
"No way?"
"Bomb the Li family villa? Who would dare to do that?"
"Could it really be Shen Dong?"
"If it's him, that would be terrifying."
"It might actually be him."
......
Everyone turned to look at Chen Dong.
Shen Dong frowned and said loudly, "Young Master Li, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I'm not crazy, why would I bomb your Li family villa?"
Li Zekai said, "Of course it's for revenge."
Shen Dong was both amused and exasperated. He said, "Yes, I am indeed very angry that your Li family is trying to seize my real estate project. But now the building materials have already been delivered to my construction site. What's the point of me retaliating against you?"
Cheng Qingquan said, "Sir Li, I dare to swear on my life that Mr. Shen was absolutely not responsible for bombing your villa."
Guo Yangyuan said loudly, "That's right, I also vouch for Mr. Shen with my life."
"And me too."
Count me in.
"It's definitely not Mr. Shen."
Members of the Hong Kong Island Real Estate Association offered guarantees for the project.
Jian Aowei nodded to himself; this kid had already made his mark.
Zheng Tong coughed and said, "Sir Li, it seems the butler didn't finish speaking."
Li Ka-shing asked, "Old Zhang, what's the situation at home right now?"
The housekeeper, tears streaming down her face, said, "Aunt Luo, Aunt Liu, and the seven bodyguards are all dead. Fortunately, Wang Qian led everyone in a desperate fight, and after killing four thugs, they managed to retreat. But before they left, they blew up our villa."
Li Ka-shing asked sternly, "Did they say who they are?"
The butler took an envelope from his pocket and said, "This was left by the leader of the bandits."
Li Zekai tore open the envelope directly. Inside was a card with only one sentence: "Li Ka-shing, you didn't expect this, did you? I'm not dead. Now I not only want your HK$1 billion, but also the lives of you and your son."
Li Ka-shing was somewhat bewildered.
Judging from the words on this card, it seems that Zhang Shiqiang did not receive his HK$1 billion, and even suffered a great loss, almost dying.
The key point is that I didn't send anyone to look for him, let alone take back the HK$1 billion.
What exactly went wrong in the middle?
Seeing Li Ka-shing deep in thought, Shen Dong said, "Sir Li, what does this letter say? Can you tell everyone? I don't want to suffer this injustice."
Li Ka-shing came to his senses, coughed, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, this matter has nothing to do with you."
Shen Dong rolled his eyes and said, "Please, Li family, stop framing people so easily. This is the second time."
Li Ka-shing immediately felt extremely embarrassed.
Cheng Qingquan said, "Sir Li, since something has happened in your family, I think we should end this banquet here."
Li Ka-shing nodded and said, "Alright."
And so, the banquet hosted by Li Ka-shing came to an end.
If I had to describe it in one word, it would be "a promising start but a disappointing finish."
What disgusted Li Ka-shing in particular was that the banquet had become a stage for Shen Dong.
His impassioned speech and the establishment of the Hong Kong Island Real Estate Association will surely make headlines in major media outlets.
And these wealthy families will be completely reduced to the villains who fear no power, like Shen Dong.
Thinking of this, Li Ka-shing rubbed his forehead and said, "A storm is coming."
Li Zekai said, "Father, should we call Wilson?"
Li Ka-shing waved his hand and said, "As long as Wilson knows about this, he will definitely come to us tomorrow."
Li Zekai said viciously, "That bastard Shen Dong, I'll make him pay sooner or later."
Li Ka-shing sighed, "I have to admit, Shen Dong is even more outstanding than I imagined. He used building materials to win over real estate companies across Hong Kong Island, and at the same time established the Hong Kong Island Real Estate Association, with himself as its chairman. This series of moves not only hit our weak point, but also allowed him to gain a firm foothold in the Hong Kong Island business circle, becoming second only to us. Impressive, truly impressive."
Li Zekai asked, "Father, what should we do with the hundreds of thousands of tons of building materials we purchased?"
Li Ka-shing was silent for a moment, then said, "We'll wage a price war. Even if we don't make a profit, we have to sell them."
Li Zekai said with a wry smile, "The Wilson family is asking for too much. Our room for negotiation is probably far less than that of Shen Dong."
Li Ka-shing said, "We'll sell even if it means losing money. This is our first battle with Shen Dong, and I'm going to make sure he doesn't get off to a bad start."
Li Zekai nodded and said, "Okay."
When he arrived at his villa, Li Ka-shing almost thought he had come to the wrong place.
A quarter of the house was destroyed by the bomb, the meticulously manicured lawn was trampled into a mess, and there were bullet casings everywhere on the ground.
This ultra-luxury villa, worth a staggering $120 million, is now completely ruined.
After this incident, even if the house is repaired in the future, Li Ka-shing will not move back in. The key issue is that it will probably be difficult to sell the property.
The police had already arrived, led by Li Wenbin, an old friend of Li Ka-shing.
"Sir Lee, I think we should have a serious talk."
Li Ka-shing nodded and said, "We really should have a serious talk."
The two walked to a pavilion, where Li Wenbin pressed the recording device and asked directly, "Sir Li, do you have any key suspects in this villa attack and bombing case?"
Li Ka-shing handed the card left by Zhang Shiqiang to Lin Wenbin and said, "He made it."
