Ou Yongen's eyes were filled with admiration and adoration as she said, "Husband, I believe you can become the most amazing person in the world."
Shen Dong picked up Ou Yongen and strode towards the lounge, saying, "This is necessary."
Ou Yongen snapped out of her daze and exclaimed, "What are you doing?"
Shen Dong chuckled and said, "Let's test the quality of the beds in the lounge."
"Are you crazy? It's daytime."
"It's more interesting during the day."
Soon, the large bed in the lounge began to shake violently.
At 2 p.m., Tang Peijun rushed into Shen Dong's office.
"Brother Dong, no, President Chen, something's happened."
Shen Dong looked up and asked, "What is it?"
Tang Peijun said, "The residential complex we built in Yuen Long did not pass the inspection by the relevant government departments."
Shen Dong's expression changed, and he said, "How could this be?"
Tang Peijun said with a wry smile, "The environmental protection department and the fire department believe that our project does not meet their regulations and will not issue us a sales permit. I went to the site to investigate this morning, and there are absolutely no problems with environmental protection or fire safety."
Shen Dong said, "So someone is deliberately causing trouble?"
Tang Peijun said through gritted teeth, "It must be one of the four great families."
Shen Dong asked, "Who are the directors of the Environmental Protection Department and the Fire Protection Department?"
Tang Peijun said, "The Director of the Environmental Protection Department is Will, who will leave office in three months. The Director of the Fire Protection Department is named Zhang Chong, and he is a neutral party."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "You've done a pretty thorough investigation."
Tang Peijun said, "I have a list of all officials at the level of Deputy Secretary and above in the Hong Kong Island government. Brother Dong, what should we do?"
Shen Dong shrugged and said, "Don't do anything. Old Tang, that large residential area in Yuen Long is the largest on Hong Kong Island. If no one lives there after it's built, besides us, who else do you think will be in a hurry?"
Tang Peijun's eyes lit up, and he said, "It must be the government. That community in Yuen Long can solve the housing problem for thousands of families. If it can't be opened to the public for a long time because of environmental protection and fire safety reasons, those two departments will definitely be bombarded with complaints."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "That's right. So, Lao Tang, don't rush. The current situation is better to remain still than to act, and to use no move to break a move."
Tang Peijun frowned and said, "What I'm worried about is that the four big families will spread rumors that there are problems with the quality of our community."
Shen Dong said, "It won't happen in the short term, but it's uncertain in the long run. Here's what you should do: go find TV reporters and experts in environmental protection and fire protection, and have them film the situation in the community."
Tang Peijun said, "Brother Dong, you forgot, Asia Television and TVB dare not offend the four major powers. Even if the filming is completed, we have nowhere to broadcast it."
Shen Dong said, "I realized the importance of television stations last time, so I had Ah Hao investigate the shareholding structure of the two major television stations. As for TVB, forget about it, most of the shares are held by Shao Yifu, and we have no chance of buying his shares. But we still have some opportunities with ATV."
It turns out that Asia Television has been suppressed by TVB for many years.
Whether it's the TV dramas they film or the variety shows they produce, their viewership ratings are far lower than those of TVB.
The boss, Qiu Defeng, had been trying to change the situation, but to no avail.
Last year's stock market crash made things even worse for Qiu Defeng, as he couldn't afford the production costs of Asia Television.
Upon learning of this situation, Shen Dong immediately contacted Qiu Defeng.
The two agreed to meet at Asia Television at 4 p.m. today.
Tang Peijun said, "I hope we can get what we want."
Through these exchanges, even Tang Peijun realized that it was really difficult to have no television station on Hong Kong Island.
Shen Dong stood up and said, "Old Tang, you go ahead with your work, I'm going to see Qiu Defeng."
Tang Peijun nodded and said, "Okay."
At 4 o'clock sharp, Shen Dong met Qiu Defeng, who was nearly seventy years old, at Asia Television.
Despite his advanced age, Qiu Defeng's eyes remain sharp, clearly showing that he is someone who refuses to accept old age.
"Mr. Shen, seeing you really makes me feel old and that it's time to retire."
"Mr. Qiu, if you put it that way, then Mr. Shao Yifu, who is more than 20 years older than you, must have retired long ago."
Qiu Defeng laughed heartily and said, "That's true. Mr. Shen, please have a seat."
Shen Dong thanked him and sat down opposite Qiu Defeng.
Qiu Defeng said, "I have heard about Mr. Shen's affair with the four great families. I'm sorry I couldn't help you."
Shen Dong knew that Qiu Defeng was referring to the previous interview, and said, "I understand Mr. Qiu's concerns very well. If I were in his shoes, I would have made the same choice."
Qiu Defeng shook his head and said, "No, you are not the kind of person who would compromise. If you were in charge of Asia Television, you would definitely broadcast it."
Shen Dong chuckled and said, "I take your words as a compliment."
The two chatted for ten minutes, and seeing that Qiu Defeng still wasn't getting to the point, Shen Dong knew that this old fox had been waiting for him, so he said, "Mr. Qiu, I've come here today to ask if Asia Television needs financing?"
Qiu Defeng's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Mr. Shen, how much money are you prepared to offer?"
Shen Dong said, "HK$300 million for 25% of the shares. At the same time, I can provide Asia Television with an interest-free loan of HK$500 million, with a repayment period of five years."
Asia Television's total market value is less than HK$1 billion, and Shen Dong's price exceeds the market price by 20%, which can be said to be very sincere, not to mention the HK$500 million interest-free loan.
