After parting ways with Li Aji, Tang Peijun immediately called Shen Dong.
Shen Dong and his group of more than fifty people are on their way to Shenzhen.
The reason Shen Dong brought so many people was not to show off, but because most of his brothers were from inland China and took this opportunity to go home to visit their families.
After hearing about the details of the two plots of land, Shen Dong laughed and said, "It seems that Li Aji is quite a ruthless person."
Tang Peijun said, "That's ruthless enough. I reckon Deng Bo's relatives are almost all dead by now. That saves us a lot of trouble. The lawyer has confirmed that there are no problems with the land ownership, and I will also have Ah Huan thoroughly investigate the situation of Deng Bo's relatives. As long as there are no legal issues, we can start cooperating with Li Aji."
Shen Dong was very satisfied with Tang Peijun's handling of the matter and said, "Alright, you handle it."
Seeing that Shen Dong had hung up the phone, Ou Yongen asked, "Will your cooperation with Li Aji succeed?"
Shen Dong nodded and said, "It's pretty close."
Ou Yongen said, "Then I do admire this leader of Wo Shing Wo."
Shen Dong was taken aback and asked, "Why?"
Ou Yongen said, "Because he dared to offend Li Ka-shing."
Shen Dong scoffed, "You admire me now? Then I've not only offended Li Ka-shing, but also the other three families. What do you say to that?"
Ou Yongen said, "You offended them because you have strength no less than theirs. But Li Aji is not. He may seem glamorous, but he's actually just a short mule."
Shen Dong rolled his eyes and said, "Miss Ou, please watch your words. There are two short mules in this carriage."
Ou Yongen smiled and said, "With Haitang's appearance and temperament, how dare you call her a short mule?"
Li Xinxin said, "He is trying to sow discord and deliberately drag Haitang into this."
Shen Dong said, "Heaven and earth bear witness, I did not mean that."
"Ha ha ha ha"
Amidst laughter and conversation, the group arrived in Shenzhen.
Shenzhen is changing every day.
Compared to two months ago, a large number of residential communities and commercial buildings have been put on sale again.
Especially in areas not far from the city center, the area is already very prosperous.
After checking into a five-star hotel, Shen Dong went directly to the Pengcheng Municipal Government and met with Chu Xinghua.
Chu Xinghua laughed and said, "Mr. Shen, why didn't you tell me you were coming to Pengcheng? I could have sent a car to pick you up."
Shen Dong rolled his eyes and said, "You, Leader Chu, are so busy with important matters every day, how could I dare to bother you?"
While making him tea, Chu Xinghua said, "Come on. You're much busier than me. I heard you went to the United States again and made a fortune in the gold market, crushing those big conglomerates."
Shen Dong said, "This is purely a rumor. I'm just going to make a little money; I don't have that kind of ability."
Chu Xinghua asked, "Tell me the truth, how much money have you actually made?"
Shen Dong held up one finger, and Chu Xinghua exclaimed in surprise, "Ten billion?"
Shen Dong nodded and said, "More or less."
Chu Xinghua gave a thumbs up and said, "That's amazing. Ten billion Hong Kong dollars could build all the docks in Pengcheng."
Shen Dong was taken aback and said, "What Hong Kong dollars? I meant US dollars."
"Splash!"
Chu Xinghua stood up abruptly, staring wide-eyed at Shen Dong in disbelief, completely losing the air of a leader from Pengcheng.
"At the current exchange rate, your 10 billion US dollars is equivalent to 55 billion Xia Yuan, which is one-third of our province's total economic output last year. Ah Dong, no, Mr. Shen, you're just too amazing, aren't you?"
Chu Xinghua's voice trembled slightly as he spoke.
Shen Dong laughed and said, "Comrade Chu, there are plenty of conglomerates in Europe and America that are richer than me. A mere 10 billion US dollars is nothing."
Chu Xinghua let out a long sigh, suppressing his shock, and sat back down in his chair. He said, "You're quite the character. Many people from the major families in Yandu have gone into business and made money, and they all become incredibly arrogant, their eyes practically looking up to the sky. But you've made 10 billion US dollars, yet you remain unassuming and don't show the slightest arrogance. That's truly rare."
Shen Dong said, "I'm not that naive. Old Chu, I told you before that I'm very optimistic about the inland real estate market. I plan to travel around major first- and second-tier cities across the country. If the conditions are right, I will buy a lot of land to build hotels and buildings. Do you think the local governments will welcome me?"
Chu Xinghua replied without hesitation, "Of course. Someone as super-rich as you will definitely receive the most favorable terms to welcome your investment. What are your plans?"
Shen Dong said, “My plan is to build one or more Tengfei Grand Hotels in each city, and they must be local landmarks. As for residential areas, the more the better. For now, we will only build five-story buildings for rent only. When the city develops to a certain stage, about ten or fifteen years later, I will demolish them and build high-rise buildings of dozens of stories to avoid affecting the city’s appearance.”
Chu Xinghua asked, "You're paying for it yourself?"
Shen Dong nodded and said, "Of course."
Chu Xinghua was puzzled and asked, "Then how can you make money doing this?"
Shen Dong laughed and said, "I bet that in fifteen years, land and housing prices in major first- and second-tier cities will increase tenfold or even dozens of times. By then, I can make a fortune just from land alone, not to mention housing prices."
Chu Xinghua gave Shen Dong a deep look and said, "This is a huge gamble for you. If you lose, you'll probably lose billions."
