Sixteen courtyard houses?
Upon hearing Shen Dong's words, the young couple were at a loss for words.
Qiu Yang asked curiously, "Brother-in-law, why did you buy so many courtyard houses?"
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Besides being likable, courtyard houses also have great collectible value. If you don't buy them now, you might not be able to buy them later. I advise you to do what I did and buy several courtyard houses; they will definitely appreciate in value in the future."
Qiu Yang touched his nose and said, "Let's talk about it when we have money. Brother-in-law, don't worry, we'll take good care of these courtyard houses for you."
Just then, Qiuti walked over and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Shen Dong briefly explained the situation, saying, "With Qiu Yang and Xiao Ye here, I can finally rest assured about things in Yandu."
Qiu Ti smiled and said, "Then you should give them more monthly salaries."
Shen Dong shrugged and said, "You can take care of the monthly salary. Qiu Yang, Xiao Ye, I'm going back to Yandu soon. The municipal government is signing the contract in front of me, and there are still many details they can't finalize. I might not be able to attend the wedding banquet tonight, so I apologize in advance."
Qiu Yang said, "Brother-in-law, you go ahead with your work. Compared to the investment project worth hundreds of billions, our wedding banquet is really nothing."
Shen Dong shook his head and said, "Qiuyang, remember my words: family is the most precious treasure in the world. Money can be earned back, but if you lose your family, you lose everything."
Qiu Yang nodded heavily and said, "I've got it."
Half an hour later, watching Shen Dong's car slowly drive away, Qiu Yang said, "Sister, brother-in-law is really amazing. I want to be like him in the future and become a useful person to the country."
Qiu Ti sighed and said, "Your brother-in-law grew up in an orphanage on Hong Kong Island and has lived a life of hardship. Only he knows how many hardships and tribulations he has gone through."
“You’re right, he is indeed a remarkable person, but at the same time he is also a very pitiful one. I’ve been with your brother-in-law for two years, and I still don’t know what he’s thinking. Xiaoyang, never be like your brother-in-law. You can’t bear the burden on his shoulders.”
......
The two parties spent three full days discussing Shen Dong's various investment agreements before they were all finalized.
During this period, Shen Dong sent Song Zihao to the United States to mortgage some of his company's shares to a bank and obtain a loan of five billion US dollars.
After the contract was signed, Shen Dong did not hesitate and handed over the US$450 million for the purchase of three textile factories and thousands of acres of land to the finance department of the Yandu Municipal Government.
As for how they divide it, that's none of Shen Dong's business.
"Mayor Yin, the investment negotiations are complete. Thank you for all the help you've provided us during this time."
In the mayor's office of Yandu City, Shen Dong expressed his gratitude to Yin Xicheng.
Yin Xicheng quickly said, "Mr. Shen, please don't say that. I haven't even thanked you for the achievements you've brought me yet. The 450 million US dollars in foreign exchange not only solved the country's urgent needs, but it is also extremely important to me personally."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "So, Mayor Yin is going to be promoted?"
Yin Xicheng waved his hand and said, "It's still early, but this achievement is real. Mr. Shen, where are you going next? Should I put in a good word for you?"
Shen Dong said, "No need. With over 100 billion in loans, my Tengfei Real Estate Company will be making massive investments. I dare not say anything else, but Tengfei Hotels and Tengfei Residential Communities will definitely cover major first- and second-tier cities across the country within the next two to three years."
Yin Xicheng pondered for a moment and asked, "Mr. Shen, there is a large area in the Third Ring Road of Yandu that will be renovated. I wonder if you would be interested?"
Shen Dong asked, "How big is this area?"
Yin Xicheng said, "It covers about 6,000 mu, and all of them are four-story tenement buildings."
Upon hearing this, Shen Dong immediately became interested and asked, "How will the residents be resettled? How much will the compensation be?"
Yin Xicheng said, "The compensation is 2,000 yuan per square meter. Apart from the 30-odd households, all the other residents have agreed. As for the land price, it is at least 500,000 yuan per mu. In total, it is about 4 billion yuan."
Buying 6,000 acres of residential land for 4 billion yuan—if this happened 20 years from now, all real estate developers would probably go crazy.
Suppressing his excitement, Shen Dong said, "Besides the government, there shouldn't be many real estate companies in Xia Guo that can come up with 3.8 billion, right?"
Yin Xicheng said, "It's not that there aren't many, it's that there aren't any. We originally wanted to divide these 6,000 mu of land among different real estate companies for joint redevelopment. If you're willing to take it over, it will save us a lot of trouble."
Shen Dong asked, "Will there be a problem if I only rent and don't sell?"
Yin Xicheng smiled and said, "As long as you're willing to rent it and the price is right, of course there's no problem."
Shen Dong asked, "What are your conditions? Tell me everything."
Yin Xicheng said without hesitation, "It must be completed within three years. The building must be at least twelve stories high, and the greening rate must be at least 25%. If you are interested, you can attend our auction next month."
Shen Dong was taken aback and said, "I still have to attend the auction?"
Yin Xicheng said, "Of course. If you don't fight for it, how can we obtain the greatest benefit?"
Shen Dong said irritably, "Mayor Yin, I thought you had a change of heart and were going to sell this large piece of land to Tengfei, but it turns out you just found a bidder to drive up the price for you. I'm really heartbroken."
Yin Xicheng chuckled and said, "I wouldn't dare to abuse my power for personal gain. All decisions made by the Yandu government will be made transparently. In addition to these 6,000 mu of land, the residential areas on the third and fourth ring roads will also be renovated one after another. Mr. Shen, I hope you can successfully bid for these plots of land."
Shen Dong said, "It definitely will."
After returning from the Yandu Municipal Government, Shen Dong gathered everyone together to discuss the construction of the Tengfei Museum, Tengfei Hotel, Tengfei Garment Factory, and the renovation of the Tengfei Textile Factory.
Apart from Tengfei Textile Factory, he demanded that everyone complete the plan within a month.
After the meeting, Shen Dong kept Ahua, Jimmy, Tang Peijun, Song Zihao, and Achan behind.
"Ahua, I'll give you a maximum of one more year to get the Tengfei instant noodle factories in various regions sorted out for me, and at the same time achieve a market share of more than 50% in China and even Southeast Asia. Can you do that?"
Shen Dong immediately focused his attention on Ahua.
Ahua pondered for a moment and said, "As long as the advertising and promotion can keep up, I am confident that we can achieve this goal within six months."
Shen Dong asked, "How much will the advertising cost?"
Ahua held up one finger and said, "At least one hundred million Xia Yuan."
Shen Dong said, "I'll give you two hundred million yuan. Make Tengfei instant noodles a household name."
Ahua nodded and said, "No problem."
Shen Dong then turned to Jimmy and asked, "Aren has performed very well during my time with me in Yandu. I plan to hand over the reins of Tengfei Clothing Company to him. What do you think?"
