After a moment of silence, Qiu's father asked, "What kind of work do you do now?"
Qiu Ti said, "I will be the deputy director of the finance department of Tengfei Group in the future, and I will help Brother Dong manage the money."
Qiu's father was taken aback and said, "How come you're only a deputy minister?"
Qiu Ti laughed and said, "I haven't even been to university, how am I qualified to be a minister? In two years, when Tengfei Group is on the right track, I will go to the best university abroad to study business administration. Xiao Yang, you should come to school with me too. I don't want you to stay in the small Tengfei Textile Factory for the rest of your life."
The small Tengfei Textile Factory?
Qiu Yang felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
Has my older sister's vision and perspective reached this level?
They didn't even take Tengfei Textile Factory, which was a combination of three giant textile factories, seriously.
......
It was already noon when we returned to Yandu from Xinglong County.
Shen Dong met a large group of people from Tengfei Group at the hotel, led by Ahua, Jimmy, and Tang Peijun.
"Is your trip going smoothly?"
Ahua laughed and said, "It went very smoothly. Brother Dong, wasn't this a bit too much of a fuss you made in Yandu?"
Shen Dong waved his hand and said, "This is nothing. In the next five years, I will invest 15 billion US dollars in the mainland and hoard a large amount of land in major cities. Believe it or not, in ten years, this 15 billion US dollars may become 50 billion US dollars. In twenty years, breaking 100 billion will be no problem at all."
Tang Peijun frowned and said, "Brother Dong, you've bet everything on the inland areas. If the inland economy doesn't develop as expected, our investment might go down the drain."
Shen Dong pointed to his eyes and said, "I've always believed that my greatest strength is my foresight. Even if I'm wrong about Xia Guo, it doesn't matter. We can easily earn back a mere 15 billion US dollars."
Ahua said, "Brother Dong, since you're so confident, let's go all out. But I don't understand, why do you want to build a museum? Is it also for the land?"
Shen Dong said, "Gold is valued in times of chaos, and antiques are valued in times of prosperity. This is my last chance to buy antiques. In two years, these antiques will probably be worth a fortune. Let's not talk about this anymore and go eat."
Jimmy laughed and said, "I keep hearing Ah Ren say that the snacks in Yandu are pretty good, and I'm getting impatient to try them."
Shen Dong said, "Then you'll have to wait until tonight. We'll have a simple lunch at the hotel today, and then Ah Ren will take you to the night market tonight."
After lunch, Shen Dong gathered the company's core members in the hotel conference room for a one-hour meeting.
The general direction of the negotiations has been set; the key is to finalize some investment details.
At 2 p.m., Shen Dong led his team to the Yandu Municipal Government.
Their negotiating team was very large this time, including not only the host Yandu Municipal Government, but also the Xia Kingdom's Commerce Department, Land Management Department, and Xia Kingdom Commercial Bank, demonstrating the government's emphasis on this investment.
Shen Dong was not involved in the specific negotiations.
After introducing his team, he made an excuse to leave the meeting room.
Li Fuming and Yin Xicheng exchanged a glance and immediately followed him out.
Like Shen Dong, neither of them needed to participate in the entire event.
"Mr. Shen, how about coming to my office for a cup of tea?" Yin Xicheng said with a smile.
Shen Dong said, "Okay."
The three arrived at Yin Xicheng's office.
Yin Xicheng personally brewed a cup of tea for the two of them.
Shen Dong took a sip; it was slightly inferior to Da Hong Pao, but still a top-quality tea.
Li Fuming sighed, "Mr. Shen, I really didn't expect you to invest so heavily in the inland areas."
As the deputy director of the Commerce Department who presided over the negotiations, Li Fuming was very clear about the agreement between Shen Dong and the old man.
Five years, a $15 billion investment—that's absolutely terrifying.
Shen Dong joked, "Would you believe me if I said I was tricked by the old man?"
"Pfft"
Li Fuming couldn't help but laugh and said, "I believe you. However, there are almost no people in the entire Xia Kingdom who could be the subject of your trap, old man. You should feel honored by this."
Shen Dong shrugged and said, "I'm now completely tied to our country's economy. If the country doesn't develop, I'm doomed. Last night, I was thinking, with so many developed countries abroad, why choose our Xia country instead of investing there? Why take on this risk that could have been avoided? Heh, tell me, am I stupid?"
Li Fuming said solemnly, "Mr. Shen, when you refer to the Xia Kingdom, you use the term 'us'? I think that's the reason."
Yin Xicheng said, "If I were you, I would make the same choice. It's not just about profit; more importantly, we both want to do something for this country and this nation."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "Yes, we are all descendants of the Chinese nation, and the blood of the Yellow Emperor flows in our veins. So, even if we lose the bet in the end, I, Shen Dong, will never regret it in my life. I firmly believe that China will definitely be able to rise to the top of the world again in the future."
Hearing Shen Dong's words, Li Fuming and Yin Xicheng were both deeply moved.
If the Xia Kingdom had more patriots like Shen Dong, what great things would it not accomplish in the future?
What the two were unaware of was that although Shen Dong's words came from the bottom of his heart, they also implied a statement to the Xia Kingdom government.
He wanted to show his superiors that he was a trustworthy Hong Kong businessman.
...
Business negotiations are very complicated and involve many aspects.
For example, when will Xia Guo Commercial Bank approve the loan for Shen Dong? When will Shen Dong repay the loan? In what way will he repay the loan? How many years can he use the purchased industrial land? What will happen to it after the expiration date?
Shen Dong and the old man only pointed out a general direction; how to implement it specifically depends on the outcome of negotiations between the two parties.
Compared to the few individuals in the past, the major companies of Tengfei Group now possess a strong talent pool, whose abilities and talents are in no way inferior to those of the professionals in the Xia Kingdom government.
In order to secure the greatest benefit for their respective sides, the two sides engaged in a heated verbal battle, arguing back and forth.
It wasn't until 8 p.m. that Shen Dong finally signed his name on the acquisition agreement for the three major textile factories. The subsequent investment negotiations will continue the next morning.
During the meal, Li Fuming gave a thumbs up and said, "Mr. Shen, your subordinates are truly a group of talented people. To be honest, we hired negotiation experts from all walks of life, but we never expected that they would not have the upper hand against your subordinates. Impressive."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "The competition within various industries, to put it bluntly, is a competition for top talent. Our Tengfei Group has always valued talent. Take that beautiful lady with glasses sitting in the middle today, for example, do you know how much she earns?"
Li Fuming asked curiously, "How much?"
Shen Dong held up five fingers and said, "Fifty thousand Hong Kong dollars a month. If she doesn't make any mistakes, she also gets various bonuses. All things considered, she can earn about one million two hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars a year. This is because she hasn't been with the company for long. By next year, her salary will be at least one million five hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars."
