Shen Dong carefully observed the locations of these three places, all of which were the most popular areas in Yandu in his previous life. So he asked, "How big is the area of each mouth in this character '品'?"
Upon seeing a potential opening, Yin Xicheng immediately said, "They're all between sixteen or seventeen mu."
Shen Dong suddenly smiled and said, "Mayor Yin, it seems you are very concerned about the urban planning of Yandu."
Yin Xicheng said, "This is my duty. Mr. Shen, what do you think?"
Shen Dong said, "Let's go to the site and take a look. If there are no problems, we can discuss the price tonight."
Yin Xicheng said happily, "Great! Let's go now."
Shen Dong and Yin Xicheng spent the afternoon driving around the second and third ring roads of Yandu.
Shen Dong was very satisfied with those plots of land.
Earning tens or even hundreds of times more in the future shouldn't be a problem.
At 9 p.m., Shen Dong’s team held an emergency consultation with the Yandu Municipal Government and set the price of these land plots at 1.5 million yuan per mu, and finalized a preliminary sales agreement.
Yin Xicheng had someone prepare a written report and submitted it to his superiors for approval overnight.
When Shen Dong returned to the hotel, it was already 2 a.m.
In order not to disturb the four beauties' rest, Shen Dong made do with the night in Li Jie's room.
The next day, Shen Dong had just finished breakfast when he received a call from Yin Xicheng.
"Mr. Shen, our application has been approved by the higher authorities."
"Mayor Yin, judging from your tone, it seems that it has been accomplished."
"The higher-ups agreed in principle, but there was one stringent condition."
"What are the conditions?"
"We want US dollars."
It turns out that in this era, Xia Kingdom's foreign exchange reserves were pitifully small, only a little over five billion US dollars.
This is a significant disadvantage in international market transactions.
Shen Dong is a super-rich man in Hong Kong Island with a net worth of tens of billions of US dollars.
The government wanted to get US dollars from him.
Shen Dong pondered for a moment and said, "The official exchange rate between the US dollar and the Chinese yuan is about 5.5, while the black market rate is 1:7. I'd like to know what rate you'll give me?"
Yin Xicheng said, "6.5."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "Mayor Yin, this exchange rate is too low. As a Hong Konger from Xia Country, I plan to make a large investment in our country. If the higher authorities can give me an exchange rate of 1:7, I can obtain billions of US dollars in foreign exchange from major international banks for you. At that time, I will use the foreign exchange to invest in the mainland, and the country will profit from the international market after receiving the foreign exchange. Our cooperation can be described as a win-win situation."
Yin Xicheng said, "Mr. Shen, please wait for me. I will report what you said."
Shen Dong said, "No problem."
Five minutes later, Yin Xicheng called, saying that an important person wanted to see him.
A sharp glint flashed in Shen Dong's eyes.
The fact that the top leader of Yandu City could relay a message speaks volumes about the important person's identity.
Soon, a government vehicle picked up Shen Dong and left the hotel.
Li Jie originally wanted to follow, but Shen Dong stopped him.
The car that Shen Dong was in was clearly specially made. The windows were all sealed off, and the driver's seat was separated from the back seat by a metal panel. You couldn't see the outside scenery at all from the inside or outside. It was almost like an isolated world.
What does this mean?
Shen Dong was somewhat unhappy.
If you don't trust yourself, then don't cooperate with yourself.
If they're going to cooperate with me, why pull this stunt?
The car made countless turns before finally stopping half an hour later.
Shen Dong got out of the car and found himself in a courtyard.
The courtyard has red walls and glazed tiles, and is surrounded by shady green trees. Two soldiers in military uniforms, holding steel guns and with piercing eyes, stand motionless on either side of the entrance.
Perhaps it was arranged by some master, because although the courtyard is not large, it gives people a sense of majesty.
Even Shen Dong, who had experienced countless life-and-death situations and knew nothing of fear, couldn't help but feel a sense of pressure.
"Could it be that one?"
Shen Dong had some guesses in his mind.
"Mr. Shen, hello, I am Liu Hui, please follow me."
A middle-aged man in his forties, wearing glasses, walked up to Shen Dong and said with a smile.
Holy crap!
Isn't this the person who will frequently appear on television news in the future?
During this period, he should have been working as a secretary for that old man who was deeply loved by the people of Xia.
In other words, he guessed right; it really was the old man who wanted to see him.
Shen Dong nodded to Liu Hui and followed him into the main room at the back of the courtyard.
Seeing the sprightly old man in his eighties on the sofa, even someone as composed as Shen Dong couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
"Mr. Shen, hello, you are younger than I imagined," the old man said with a smile.
After calming himself down, Shen Dong said, "Old Master, you can just call me by my name. To be honest, I still find it a little hard to get used to being addressed as 'Sir'."
Seeing that Shen Dong was neither servile nor arrogant when meeting the old man, and showed no restraint whatsoever, Liu Hui's face showed a surprised expression.
This young man is truly extraordinary!
No wonder they were able to make such a name for themselves in Hong Kong and overseas.
The old man was somewhat surprised, but mostly happy.
What he least wants to see is people becoming so nervous that they can't continue the conversation.
Clearly, Shen Dong is much bolder than those regional officials, which makes the conversation more interesting.
"Haha, it's been a long time since I've seen a young person like you. Good, very good, please have a seat, let's have a good chat."
