After having lunch with the old man in the courtyard, Shen Dong said goodbye and left.
The old man not only personally saw him out of the courtyard, but also gave Shen Dong his private number, granting him the right to contact him at any time, which made Shen Dong feel flattered.
Just before getting into the car, Shen Dong turned to look at the white-haired, thin old man, then suddenly turned back and said softly, "Grandpa, the economy of Northern Su is facing extremely serious problems. I predict that the country may collapse within five years. I've heard that some international financial groups in Europe and America have already started taking action in secret. You'd better pay attention to this."
A glint of light flashed in the old man's eyes. He nodded and said, "I will. Thank you, Xiao Shen."
Shen Dong said, "Perhaps I'm being too pessimistic. In any case, old man, you must take care of your health; the country can't do without you."
After saying that, Shen Dong bowed deeply to him, then turned and got into the car.
Although the meeting lasted less than three hours, the old man's personal charm and noble sentiments earned Shen Dong's utmost respect.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so reckless as to reveal the secret to the old man.
After the car drove away, the old man asked, "Liu Hui, what do you think of this young Shen?"
Liu Hui said, "He has an extraordinary demeanor, unique insights, a far-sighted vision, and a strong sense of national pride and self-confidence. I think he is a comrade worth winning over."
The old man nodded and said, "Every time Xiao Shen talks about Xia Guo, his eyes light up. We don't need to win him over, because his decision to bring over 20 billion yuan to invest in China has already shown his inclination."
"You know what? I'm really happy to meet such a frank and unpretentious young talent like Xiao Shen. With his foresight and unique insights, I believe he will definitely have a place in the world in the future. Perhaps we will need his help in many things in the future."
Liu Hui said, "So you gave him your private contact information."
The old man chuckled and said, "They've given us 20 billion US dollars in foreign exchange, we can't let them feel disheartened. Compared to the other four in Hong Kong, I prefer this little guy."
Liu Hui said, "Grandpa, wasn't what he said about the Northern Soviet Union a bit alarmist?"
The old man was silent for a moment, then said, "No investigation, no right to speak. The fact that Xiao Shen dares to tell me these things shows that he is very confident in his predictions."
Liu Hui nodded and said, "I will organize an expert group to go to the Northern Soviet Union to conduct research."
The old man hummed in agreement and said nothing more.
Shen Dong did not tell anyone about his meeting with the old man.
In the afternoon, he went to see the eleven courtyard houses.
The decoration of these courtyard houses is hard to describe, but their good location and large area make them a very good investment project.
Shen Dong finalized the contracts almost immediately, with a price of 2,500 yuan per square meter, totaling 46 million yuan.
Chu Feng and the other two received brokerage fees of over 400,000 yuan each, and they were all overjoyed.
In this day and age, 400,000 is no small sum; it's enough for them to start a small company.
On the way back to the hotel, Chu Feng asked, "Brother Dong, has the matter of the three major textile factories been completed?"
Shen Dong said, "It should be almost certain. What? You have an idea?"
Chu Feng chuckled and said, "No. I mainly wanted to ask how the textile factory workers are being dealt with?"
Shen Dong said without hesitation, "My solution is just one sentence: those who work, stay; those who don't, take your pay and get out."
Xue Shan chuckled and said, "Young Master Chu, congratulations on finally escaping the misery of the textile factory."
Chu Feng rolled his eyes and said irritably, "You're just gloating."
Shen Dong asked, puzzled, "Is working at the textile factory really that important to you?"
Chu Feng now has a net worth of over a million. Even if he worked in a textile factory for his entire life, he wouldn't earn that much money, given the current salary standards.
Shen Dong didn't quite understand why Chu Feng liked the textile factory so much.
Chu Feng sighed and said, "It's all because of my old man. He wanted me to go into politics, but I'm not cut out to be an official. So he had no choice but to put me in a state-owned enterprise, saying that this was also contributing to the country's development. Do you think this old man has something wrong with his head?"
Shen Dong said, "These old men have crawled out of piles of corpses. For this country and nation, they risked their lives and shed their blood. Even though they are no longer young, they still have the world in their hearts. I have nothing but respect and admiration for them."
Upon hearing Shen Dong's words, Chu Feng, Xue Shan, and Lin Jia all showed expressions of surprise.
If these words had come from someone from inland China, none of the three would have found them problematic.
But if it comes from Shen Dong, then it's different.
Since Shen Dong has never been to the mainland and has never received an education there, how could he have such a strong sense of patriotism?
Chu Feng smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, I feel that you are even more patriotic than I am."
Shen Dong said, “When you go abroad, you will find that if a country is not strong, its citizens will be looked down upon. I know that many people yearn for the United States and countless children go there to study, but I want to tell you that this is just the surface. Apart from top talents and the super-rich, the lives of ordinary people are very, very bad, and they often have to endure discrimination from others.”
Lin Jia asked curiously, "Mr. Shen, how did you feel about your trip to the United States?"
Shen Dong said, "It's very average. Especially the food, it's at least two thousand years behind ours. Anyway, I will only do business in the United States in my life, I will never settle down there. There's no place like home, and it's never as comfortable to live in our own country."
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Young Master Chu, you've worked at the Second Textile Factory for several years, so you should be very familiar with this industry. After I merge the three major textile factories into Tengfei Textile Factory, would you be interested in becoming the factory manager?"
Shen Dong has high hopes for this future textile tycoon.
On the surface, he seems carefree and like a spoiled brat who doesn't know anything, but in reality, Chu Feng is a person with a strong sense of responsibility.
This can be seen from his willingness to lower his standards and search for partners everywhere for the sake of the second textile factory.
As for ability and skill, someone like Chu Feng, who grew up in a large family, is many times stronger than the average person.
With just a little guidance, they can stand on their own.
