Wilson paused for a moment, then said, "It was Deputy Director of the Finance Department, Raul, who took money from Shen Dong and secretly issued an import permit to Shen Dong without my knowledge. I'm sorry, but for some reason, I am powerless to help with this matter."
Li Ka-shing knew without a second thought that Wilson must have some leverage over Raul, so he said, "I understand. Mr. Wilson, I just placed an order for hundreds of thousands of tons of building materials, at a price far exceeding that of Chen Dong. Could you ask the Malaysian company to give me a discount?"
Upon hearing this, Wilson was alarmed and said, "Sir Lee, we must uphold the spirit of the contract. However, I will explain the situation to my brother, and I believe he will respond accordingly."
That's utter nonsense.
Li Ka-shing knew Wilson's brother's character well.
Getting him to spit out the money he's already taken is harder than climbing to heaven.
After hanging up the phone, Li Ka-shing called Li Zekai over.
After discussing it, the father and son decided to lower the price of sand to HK$110 per ton and the price of cement to HK$750 per ton, which was lower than the price of sinking.
Upon learning of this situation, Tang Peijun immediately reported it to Shen Dong.
Shen Dong laughed and said, "Li Ka-shing really is going to start a price war with me."
Tang Peijun asked, "Brother Dong, what should we do?"
Shen Dong said, "We have already made enough profit from building materials, so let's not think about making any more money from them."
Tang Peijun said, "You mean we should fight this price war with Li Ka-shing to the very end?"
Shen Dong waved his hand and said, "When we were discussing this last night, President Ling and President Guo came up with a solution that's better than no solution at all. Don't worry about what Li Ka-shing does, and don't reprice the sand and cement. We'll just sell them to everyone first. No matter how much Li Ka-shing lowers the price, we just need to be lower than him."
Tang Peijun replied, "Understood."
Shen Dong's cement and sand are much cheaper than Li Ka-shing's. Even if he gave them to real estate developers, he would only lose 20 or 30 million, which is not a big deal.
But it's different for Li Ka-shing's side; the shipping costs alone exceed the value of the sand and cement themselves by several times.
In addition, the Wilson family set an alarmingly high price, so Shen Dong remained completely unfazed by the price war.
"Old Tang, take your lawyer and go take over Zheng Tong's Sunshine Office Building."
Tang Peijun smiled and said, "Do you think he will keep his promise?"
Shen Dong shrugged and said, "If Zheng Tong doesn't give it to you, don't force him. Just tell the media about it."
Tang Peijun had a sudden thought and said, "Then I might as well just take the media and go acquire office buildings."
Shen Dong was taken aback, then gave a thumbs up and said, "This method is too underhanded, but I like it. It's best to find several more. If he gives it to us, then let the media publicize that President Zheng is a man of his word and keeps his promises. If he doesn't give it to us, then he's a deadbeat, and we'll tear off his 'high-class' label."
Tang Peijun smiled and said, "I understand."
Zheng Tong is a man of his word.
Before Tang Peijun arrived, he had all the materials prepared.
The relevant financial situation is also very clear.
Tang Peijun was very satisfied and said to Lai Guangyao, CEO of Zheng's Real Estate Company, "The Zheng family truly deserves to be one of the most famous wealthy families in Hong Kong. Just the fact that they are willing to accept defeat in a bet is something that not everyone can do."
Without an agreement or recording, just a verbal agreement between the two, Zheng Tong handed over a real estate project worth more than 2 billion yuan to Shen Dong without hesitation. There are indeed not many people who can do this.
They mostly resort to cheating.
Compared to over two billion, saving face is nothing.
Lai Guangyao had no good feelings towards Ascendas Real Estate Company. It would be unbearable for anyone to see the office building, which was about to be put into operation, being handed over to someone else.
"President Tang, is everything alright?" Lai Guangyao asked with a gloomy face.
Tang Peijun said, "No problem."
Lai Guangyao said, "Then please issue a letter of acceptance. Anything that happens in the Sunshine Office Building in the future will have nothing to do with Zheng's Real Estate Company."
Tang Peijun raised an eyebrow, asking suspiciously, "You didn't plant a bomb here, did you?"
Lai Guangyao rolled his eyes in anger and said irritably, "I was even planning to bomb it flat with missiles."
Tang Peijun chuckled and said, "Don't be angry, it was just a joke."
He handed the prepared acceptance letter to Lai Kuan Yew, who then left without looking back.
Tang Peijun rubbed his nose and said, "This guy is really impolite. However, this Sunshine Office Building is really well built. I can suggest to Brother Dong that Tengfei Group's headquarters be located here."
Thinking of this, Tang Peijun made a phone call to Shen Dong.
...
Shen Dong was being pestered by Ou Yongen to go to the shooting range.
She will be participating in a shooting competition on Hong Kong Island three days later.
Recently, Ou Yongen has been spending almost every day at the training ground.
Previously, Ou Yongen did not disturb Shen Dong because he was busy with various things.
Now that she had finished her work, she immediately came over to "invite" Shen Dong.
As soon as the two went downstairs and got into the car, Shen Dong received a call from Tang Peijun.
After listening to Tang Peijun's introduction, Shen Dong said, "Is this office building really as good as you say? I'm a little skeptical."
Tang Peijun said, "Brother Dong, if you have time, you can come and see for yourself. I think it was built just for our Tengfei Group."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "Okay. I'll go take a look now. If it's nice, then we won't rent it out; we'll keep it for ourselves."
After hanging up the phone, Ou Yongen sighed and said, "You go ahead and do your work, I'll go to the shooting event by myself."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "No need. Let's go to Tsim Sha Tsui first to take a look at the sunny office building that Lao Tang mentioned, and then go to the shooting club."
"Sunshine Office Building?"
Ou Yongen's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Is it the office building that the Zheng family just finished renovating?"
Shen Dong was taken aback and asked, "You know?"
Ou Yongen said, "Of course. I've been keeping an eye on this office building for a while now. I even went to see it a month ago, and it's really great. The only problem is that the rent is too expensive. Otherwise, I would have moved my law firm there."
Shen Dong said helplessly, "My woman is actually worried about the rent for an entire building. Haha, I doubt anyone would believe that."
Ou Yongen said, "Please be mindful of your place. Have you forgotten that you are just a little man I, Ou Yongen, can discard at any time? If one day I ever dislike you, I will not hesitate to kick you out."
Shen Dong asked, "So, do you hate me now?"
Ou Yongen thought for a moment and said, "Not yet. But I feel it will be soon."
Shen Dong raised an eyebrow, suddenly held up five fingers, and said, "Do you see what I have in my hand?"
Ou Yongen shook her head and said, "There's nothing there."
Shen Dong said, "Wrong, there is a beautiful necklace."
After saying that, Shen Dong reached out and grabbed, which startled Ou Yongen so much that she quickly closed her eyes.
