Meanwhile, Yin Xicheng used his connections to find Shen Dong's contact information at the hotel.
Unfortunately, no one answered the phone in the room.
With no other option, Yin Xicheng simply brought his men to the hotel where Shen Dong was staying and waited in the lobby.
"Hey, Uncle, what are you doing here?"
Xue Shan walked into the hotel and saw Yin Xicheng, and asked in surprise.
Yin Xicheng said, "I'm here to see someone. Xiaoshan, what brings you to the hotel?"
Xue Shan waved a piece of paper in his hand and said, "Make money."
Yin Xicheng asked, "What is this? Can I take a look?"
"certainly."
Xue Shan handed the paper to Yin Xicheng.
Seeing the addresses and sizes of more than a dozen courtyard houses listed above, Yin Xicheng was even more puzzled and asked, "How can this thing make money?"
Xue Shan told Yin Xicheng about Shen Dong's plan to sell his courtyard houses, saying, "We get a 3% commission every time we help him complete a transaction. If my twelve courtyard houses go through, I can earn at least a million yuan. It's incredibly profitable."
Yin Xicheng said, "Mr. Shen is truly a man of great taste."
Xue Shan laughed and said, "Perhaps that's why he became a billionaire. Uncle, you're not also looking for Mr. Shen, are you?"
Yin Xicheng nodded and said, "I came to talk to him about investment. Since I don't have his contact information, I can only wait for him here."
Xue Shan pulled out a phone book and said, "I have Mr. Shen's pager number."
Yin Xicheng said happily, "Great, call him right away."
Using the hotel's phone, Xue Shan contacted Shen Dong.
Upon learning that a high-ranking official from the Yandu Municipal Government was at the hotel, Shen Dong quickly returned.
At this moment, Chu Feng and Lin Jia also arrived.
Upon seeing Shen Dong, the three of them's eyes lit up, as if they saw countless coins beckoning to them.
Nevertheless, the three did not immediately approach Shen Dong to talk, because Yin Xicheng was there.
Yin Xicheng is a high-ranking official in the Yandu Municipal Government, and privately he is the father of the three men. These three princelings still need to abide by the proper etiquette.
“Mr. Shen, this is Yin Xicheng, the person who spoke to you earlier.”
Yin Xicheng walked up to Shen Dong and extended his hand to Shen Dong with a smile.
Although he already knew that Shen Dong was very young, Yin Xicheng still found it hard to believe that such a young man, who was about the same age as his son, could have achieved so much.
Shen Dong grasped Yin Xicheng's hand and said with a smile, "Mayor Yin, I'm very sorry to have kept you waiting."
Be humble and composed!
Polite!
Remain unmoved by favor or disgrace!
Mature beyond his years!
Steadfast as a mountain!
Shen Dong's words triggered a flood of idioms in Yin Xicheng's mind.
Yin Xicheng said, "As long as I can see Mr. Shen, I will have no complaints even if I have to wait a day."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Mayor Yin, what you're saying might be detrimental to your upcoming negotiations."
Yin Xicheng said with a wry smile, "Everyone knows that people all over the country are trying their best to attract investment and vigorously develop their local economies. If we don't hurry, we might not even get a taste of the benefits."
Shen Dong said, "That's not necessarily true. Yandu is the center of Xia Kingdom, with more advantageous conditions than other places. Investors like us will try our luck whenever we have the opportunity. Mayor Yin, if I'm not mistaken, you should know about my negotiations with the Commerce Department, right?"
Yin Xicheng nodded and said, "Yes."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "This has really confused me. Who has the final say on my purchase of land to build factories, hotels, museums, and residential communities—the municipal government or the Commerce Department?"
Yin Xicheng said, "Your investment of over 20 billion yuan is the largest since the founding of the People's Republic of China, so neither of our two families has the final say; the decision can only be made by the higher authorities."
Shen Dong spread his hands and said, "Then what do you want from me?"
Yin Xicheng said, "Please go to the Municipal Government Planning Department. What your investment needs most is land. If we can determine the specific location in advance and submit it to the higher authorities, your chances of success will be much higher. And if we succeed, then we will be able to exceed our investment attraction targets for this year."
Shen Dong gave a thumbs up and said, "Mayor Yin, you're the best. Well then, it's almost noon, let's go to the hotel restaurant for lunch first. After lunch, we'll go to the Planning Department together, and hopefully we can take another look at the site."
Yin Xicheng smiled and said, "No problem."
Seeing that the two had finally finished discussing business, Chu Feng walked over and said, "Mr. Chen, we have found the courtyard house you asked us to look for."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "Thank you so much. Following our previous plan, could you please check if there are any duplicate courtyard houses?"
Chu Feng smiled and said, "It would be fairer for your people to do the inspection."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "Alright. Ah Jie, you can come now."
"Yes, Brother Dong."
Li Jie took the three people's lists and looked at them for only two minutes before exclaiming in surprise, "Brother Dong, all eleven courtyard houses are the same, except for Xue Shaoduo who found one that is near the Forbidden City."
Xue Shan said proudly, "That's the courtyard of one of my classmates. My classmate is going to study abroad, and his father decided to sell his courtyard house."
Chu Feng and Lin Jia both pursed their lips and remained silent.
Shen Dong said, "Young masters, Mayor Yin and I need to go out for an inspection today. We'll go see these courtyard houses tomorrow. What do you think?"
The three of them said in unison, "No problem."
After having a casual meal at the hotel, Shen Dong followed Yin Xicheng to the Planning Department.
