Shen Dong said, "That's because the Huo family has a strong foundation. If it weren't for the deliberate suppression by the United States back then, the Huo family would have been the number one family in Hong Kong long ago, and Li Ka-shing would be nothing."
Ou Yongen said, "Brother Dong, we live in a society governed by the rule of law. The return of Hong Kong Island to China is inevitable. There are also mainland factions within the government departments. They can no longer suppress us with impunity."
Shen Dong said, "As long as their suppression is reasonable and legal, that's fine. Just watch, I will definitely not be involved in any real estate projects led by the Hong Kong Island government in the future, and the land they occupy will definitely be given special attention by the police."
Ou Yongen frowned slightly and said, "Brother Dong, Tengfei Group has developed to the point where it's time to abandon all shady businesses."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "I plan to divide part of the territory among Han Bin, Thirteen Sister, and Dinosaur, and return the other part to Hung Hing. Brothers who are willing to follow Hung Hing can go to Hung Hing, and those who are not willing can join Tengfei Security Company. From now on, Hung Hing will be my representative in the underworld."
Haitang said, "Do you think Hung Hing will listen to you? Don't forget, you killed a lot of Hung Hing members."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "The leaders of Hung Hing have always been opportunistic. As long as you give them a little something, they'll treat me like royalty. Dealing with them is a piece of cake. Besides, I never intended to rely on Hung Hing."
Haitang nodded and said, "It's good that you know what's going on."
Half an hour later, the group boarded a flight bound for Hong Kong Island.
Arrived at Hong Kong Island International Airport at midnight.
On the way home, Shen Dong asked, "Airplane, has anything happened in Hong Kong lately?"
At the airport, Shen Dong deliberately moved the plane into his car.
Besides Li Jie, there were only the two of them; even the four women were arranged to stay in other cars.
"It's quite a scene in the underworld," said Fei Ji. "The sudden cooperation between Hung Hing and Wo Luen Shing caught the Triads completely off guard. When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down. Other triads saw an opportunity to take advantage and sent troops to seize it. In just one night, they divided up the Triads' territory."
"pretty."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "I didn't expect Li Aji and Chen Haonan to cooperate. This is going to be a real challenge for Ding Yao and Lei Fuhong."
Feiji said, "Li Aji and Chen Haonan are both newly appointed leaders and need to establish their authority within the triad. Joining forces to take down the Sanlian Gang would benefit both of them."
Shen Dong was taken aback and said, "Airplane, not bad, you've learned to use your brain."
Feiji said, "In the world of martial arts, if you're not smart, you'll probably be eaten alive."
Shen Dong was silent for a moment, then asked, "Feiji, how many brothers do you have who eat with you now?"
The plane said, "Four thousand two hundred people."
Shen Dong asked again, "What is your monthly income?"
The plane said, "Approximately sixteen million."
Shen Dong asked, "Are you tired? Have you ever thought about quitting and working for Tengfei Group?"
Of the brothers who followed Shen Dong to build his empire, the others all joined Tengfei, while only Feiji and his men managed Shen Dong's territory.
Although he was already a multi-millionaire, he showed no intention of retiring from the business world.
A thought struck Fei Ji: "Brother Dong, do you want to completely withdraw from the underworld?"
Shen Dong nodded and said, "That's right. My investment trip to the mainland offended the US government, so I must sever ties with the underworld as soon as possible. Feiji, what are your thoughts?"
Feiji pursed his lips and said, "I'll do whatever Brother Dong says."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "You don't need to have any worries. If you want to make your way in the world, then go for it. If you don't want to, then come to Tengfei Group. It's your choice, I won't interfere."
After a moment's thought, Fei Ji said, "Brother Dong, I like to live an exciting life."
The airplane's answer did not surprise Shen Dong. Shen Dong asked, "Do you want to start your own business, or join another organization?"
Without hesitation, the plane replied, "Let's go independent."
Shen Dong turned to look at the plane, and the plane also turned to look at Shen Dong.
Their eyes met, and Shen Dong saw the determination and...ambition in Fei Ji's eyes.
“Originally, I planned to have brothers who were unwilling to leave the underworld join Hung Hing, but now it seems that I need to change my mind.”
Feiji said, "Brother Dong, Hung Hing can't be trusted. I'm willing to be your weapon in the underworld."
Shen Dong said seriously, "Starting your own business is not a simple matter. Are you prepared to face the storms of the martial world?"
"I was prepared," the pilot said.
Shen Dong nodded and said, "I'll give you three days to properly consolidate your territory. After three days, I will announce that your aircraft is operating independently."
The plane said softly, "Brother Dong, are you angry?"
Shen Dong waved his hand and said, "No. Of course I trust you between you and Hung Hing. But from now on, you'll have to walk your own path."
"I understand, thank you, Brother Dong," said the plane.
Upon arriving at the villa, Shen Dong kept Tian Yangsheng, Chen Hui, and Li Jie behind, while dismissing the others.
"I'm planning to build a mercenary army, what do you think?"
Shen Dong asked directly.
All three had served in the military and were very familiar with it, so Shen Dong wanted to ask for their opinions.
Tian Yangsheng's eyes lit up, and he said, "I firmly agree."
Chen Hui and Li Jie both nodded in agreement, saying, "Agreed."
Shen Dong said, "Building a mercenary group definitely requires a base. Where do you think would be a suitable location?"
Without a second thought, Tian Yangsheng said, "The most suitable place is Southeast Asia."
Shen Dong asked, "Why?"
Tian Yangsheng said, “The administration of several countries in Southeast Asia is very chaotic, with warlords vying for power and frequent wars. Take the Maya Kingdom as an example; they have more than a dozen factions, and the government is just the largest of them. The Maya Kingdom owns hundreds of islands, some over a thousand square kilometers in size, and others only a few dozen square kilometers. We can buy one of these islands to use as our military base.”
Chen Hui said, "Building a base on an island is a good option, but the only problem is that it's very expensive to build and life there isn't very convenient."
Tian Yangsheng said, "We can choose an island that is relatively close to the mainland, and then buy a few boats or helicopters. However, if we do that, we will have to build a dock, which is indeed a bit expensive."
Shen Dong waved his hand and said, "Any problem that can be solved with money isn't a problem. Ah Sheng, how much would an island of 1,000 square kilometers cost?"
Tian Yangsheng said, "Around fifty million US dollars. The same amount is needed in Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia."
Shen Dong thought for a moment and said, "One won't do, we need to buy at least five."
