The next morning, Shen Dong instructed Song Zihao to transfer the money to the account designated by Li Ka-shing.
As a result, the New Territories warehouse became entirely Shen Dong's property.
"Damn it, money really doesn't last long."
Shen Dong sat in his boss's chair, patting his forehead as he spoke.
To acquire the New Territories warehouse, Shen Dong spent a staggering US$5.2 billion, leaving him with only US$2 billion of the funds he brought back from the United States.
Tang Peijun, who had only been discharged from the hospital a few days earlier, was very excited and said, "Brother Dong, although the New Territories warehouse is a bit expensive, its assets are really excellent. I looked at their financial statements, and wow, for three consecutive years, the profits have reached more than 300 million US dollars. It's simply a hen that can lay golden eggs."
Song Zihao chimed in, “That’s right. Besides the high profits, there’s an even bigger advantage: it helps us quickly build connections. Over 80 percent of the medium and large-sized companies in Hong Kong trade with the outside world, and controlling the New Territories warehouse is like holding their throats. They will have no choice but to rely on us. As a result, our status and influence in the business world will inevitably skyrocket.”
Shen Dong waved his hand and said, "Alright, I know better than you how important the New Territories warehouse is. The problem we have now is who will be in charge of managing the New Territories warehouse."
Previously, the CEO of the New Territories Warehouse was Al, but after the change of ownership, Al will definitely be ousted.
Shen Dong must find a suitable person to replace him to prevent problems from arising in the operation of the New Territories warehouse.
Song Zihao frowned and said, "We can only find professional managers from outside. We can't find anyone internally who can handle the New Territories warehouse."
Tang Peijun hesitated for a moment, then said, "I have a classmate who is a very good choice. His name is Zhang Hang, and he used to be the deputy general manager of Wharf Holdings. He was dismissed after Bao Shifu took over Wharf Holdings."
Shen Dong asked, "What is Zhang Hang doing now?"
Tang Peijun said with a wry smile, "I sell fish balls in Tsim Sha Tsui."
"puff"
Shen Dong nearly spat out his coffee, exclaiming in surprise, "The vice president of Wharf Holdings has fallen so low as to sell fish balls in the market? Old Tang, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Tang Peijun said, "The shipping magnate took Kowloon Wharf from the American conglomerate, and the American conglomerate used Zhang Hang as a scapegoat, pinning all the blame on him. From then on, no one in Hong Kong dared to hire him. Helpless, Zhang Hang had to make a living by selling fish balls."
Shen Dong asked, "Why don't you help him?"
Tang Peijun shook his head and said, "I've wanted to bring Ahang into our company for a long time. But this guy is arrogant and refuses to accept my offer. He even said he'll definitely find a mentor who appreciates him, which almost drove me crazy."
Song Zihao said, "The Wharf incident happened more than ten years ago. Does Zhang Hang still have that capability?"
Shen Dong stood up and said, "Whether he has the ability or not, we'll know once we talk to him. Come on, President Tang, President Song, I'll treat you to fish balls for lunch today."
Upon seeing that Shen Dong was going to meet Zhang Hang, Tang Peijun was overjoyed and immediately led the two to Zhang Hang's shop.
Half an hour later, the three of them walked into an inconspicuous fish ball shop in Tsim Sha Tsui.
"Ahang, I need to talk to you." Tang Peijun said casually when he saw that there were no customers in the store.
Zhang Hang said helplessly, "Ah Jun, why are you here again?"
Shen Dong looked at Zhang Hang and found that he was about the same age as Tang Peijun. He was wearing a white chef's uniform, but it couldn't hide his extraordinary temperament.
Even though he had fallen so low as to make a living selling fish balls, Shen Dong still saw a sense of confidence and arrogance in Zhang Hang's sharp and deep eyes.
Tang Peijun said, "Stop talking nonsense and come over here quickly."
Zhang Hang sat down at the table and said, "Say what's on your mind quickly, I still have to make fish balls."
Tang Peijun said, "Let me introduce you. This is my boss, Mr. Shen Dong, the president of Tengfei Company, and the other is Mr. Song Zihao, the general manager of our Tengfei Investment Company."
Zhang Hang raised an eyebrow, looked at Shen Dong, and said, "Are you the Mr. Shen who defeated the American conglomerate and the four major tycoons to take over the New Territories warehouse?"
Shen Dong laughed and said, "This news spread pretty fast."
Zhang Hang said, "I've been keeping an eye on New Territories Warehouse since its stock price fluctuated wildly ten days ago. I originally thought the four major tycoons were the most likely to succeed, but you snatched it away. Well done!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Dong immediately became interested and said, "It seems that you haven't given up on yourself while selling fish balls."
Zhang Hang nodded and said, "Of course. In the past ten years, I have been enriching myself. In my spare time, I have studied all the subjects of the Harvard MBA program on my own. Compared with before, I think I have made great progress. The only problem is that I lack a platform for me to display my talents."
After speaking, Zhang Hang looked intently at Shen Dong.
Shen Dong asked, "Are you interested in the New Territories warehouse?"
Zhang Hang replied without hesitation, "I am very interested. If I were to manage the New Territories warehouse, I am confident that I could increase its profits by 20 percent."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "You're just making empty promises to me."
Zhang Hang said, "Give me a week to fully understand the operation of the New Territories warehouse, and then I will develop an operation plan that will satisfy you."
Shen Dong said, "I can give you this opportunity to prove yourself. Not only you, but others will also get this opportunity. A week later, I will organize a defense meeting where you will present your management and operation plans. Whoever stands out will depend on your abilities."
