The next morning at 10 a.m., Shen Dong drove Haitang to Tengfei headquarters.
Li Xinxin, Qiu Ti, and Ou Yongen got up early; the three girls arrived before eight o'clock.
Li Xinxin's charity foundation has now moved into the Ascendas headquarters, on the same floor as Au Wing-yan's law firm.
"Old Xue, this is Haitang. From now on, she will be your deputy."
Shen Dong pointed at Haitang and said to Xue Yukun, the Minister of Human Resources.
Xue Yukun is 48 years old this year, which is not young. He is a senior executive that Shen Dong poached from other companies at great cost. He is known in the industry for his accurate vision.
"Hello, Miss Haitang."
Xue Yukun was very familiar with Shen Dong's four women, and upon hearing this, he immediately greeted Haitang.
Haitang said, "Minister Xue, I am a typical person who got in through connections and I am not familiar with personnel work. I would appreciate your guidance."
Xue Yukun smiled and said, "Miss Haitang is too modest."
Shen Dong said, "Alright, enough with the formalities. Lao Xue, take Haitang to her office."
Xue Yukun nodded and said, "Okay."
Just as the two left, Shang Yangxia, the vice president of Tengfei Real Estate Company, arrived.
Recently, Tang Peijun has been leading his team to aggressively buy land in major first- and second-tier cities in inland China.
Don't even think about coming back within three months.
Shang Yangxia was previously the CEO of a real estate company in Hong Kong. Due to the stock market crisis, the owner behind the real estate company sold it to Ascendas Real Estate for HK$120 million in order to raise funds.
Tang Peijun thought highly of Shang Yangxia, so he kept him on as his deputy.
Shang Yangxia did not disappoint Tang Peijun; her work ability was outstanding, saving Tang Peijun a lot of trouble.
“Mr. Shen, Li Aji has breached the contract,” Shang Yangxia said bluntly.
Shen Dong's expression changed, and he asked, "Is it those hundreds of acres of land?"
Shang Yangxia nodded and said, "Yes."
Previously, Li Aji approached Shen Dong to collaborate on the development of land in Tseung Kwan O and Wan Chai. After three days of negotiations, the two parties signed a contract.
I never expected this guy to go back on his word; it's simply outrageous.
Shen Dong said in a deep voice, "According to the contract, how much liquidated damages does he need to pay us?"
Shang Yangxia said, "Two hundred million. This morning, I sent people to collect the money, but they were beaten up by Li Aji's men and ended up in the hospital."
A cold glint flashed in Shen Dong's eyes.
Anyone who dares to hit him, this Li Aji is clearly provoking him.
Shen Dong picked up the phone and dialed Li Aji's number directly.
"I am Li Aji, and who are you?"
"Chen Dong".
"So it's Mr. Shen. You've returned from the inland?"
"Thank you for your concern. Mr. Li Aji, I would like to know what's going on with those two plots of land in Tseung Kwan O and Wan Chai?"
“Mr. Shen, I’m so sorry. Sir Li found out about these two plots of land, and I had no choice but to sell them to him.”
"Who you sell to is your prerogative. I just want to know when my 200 million yuan penalty for breach of contract will be paid?"
“Mr. Shen, this matter is no longer under my jurisdiction. I have signed a contract with Changjian Group, and they will be responsible for the breach of contract penalty.”
“Your business with Changjian Group has nothing to do with me. I only want 200 million in breach of contract fees. Give it to me and the matter ends here. If you don’t, then we’ll have to see each other in court.”
Li Aji was silent for a moment, then said, "Mr. Shen, I don't want to be your enemy. There are some things I really can't do."
Shen Dong said calmly, "I'm a person who values contracts very much. We do what the agreement says, and you don't need to apologize to me. What really annoys me is that you dared to hit my people. Li Aji, how many lives do you have? Or do you think that just because you have the backing of the four major families, you can challenge me, Shen Dong?"
Li Aji said, "Mr. Shen, the ones who assaulted people were Zheng Yuchuan and Li Zekai's bodyguards. Although I was there, I couldn't stop them at all, nor did I dare to."
Shen Dong said, "Before I leave work this afternoon, I want to see 200 million in breach of contract fees and the bodyguard who assaulted me. If either of these conditions is missing, I guarantee that there will be no place for you, Li Aji, in Hong Kong."
After saying that, Shen Dong hung up the phone.
Impressive!
Upon hearing Shen Dong's words, Shang Yangxia felt a surge of excitement coursing through her body.
Shen Dong asked, "Mr. Shang, is there anything else?"
Shang Yangxia quickly replied, "Yes. Three days from now, the Hong Kong Island government will hold an auction for 5,600 acres of construction land in the New Territories. The organizers had already sent us invitations, but for some reason they suddenly called me just now to say that our auction qualification has been cancelled."
Shen Dong immediately realized that this was retaliation from the Americans for his large-scale investments in the mainland, and said, "I understand. I will handle this matter. You go ahead and do your work."
Shang Yangxia said, "Okay, President Shen."
Just as Shang Yangxia reached the door, Shen Dong suddenly asked, "When exactly did Li Aji breach the contract?"
Shang Yangxia said, "His lawyer contacted us yesterday morning."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead."
After Shang Yangxia left, Shen Dong took a teacup and walked to the window.
The sun was shining brightly today, and it felt quite comfortable on people, but Shen Dong's heart was ice-cold.
Li Aji's breach of contract and the Hong Kong Island government's deliberate obstruction made Shen Dong feel a huge crisis.
This crisis comes not only from the Hong Kong Island government, but also from the four major families.
They must have played a very important role in it.
It's probably impossible for me to continue buying land and building on Hong Kong Island.
Even if the building can be built, whether it can be sold is another matter entirely.
Land on Hong Kong Island will be extremely valuable in the future, which is something Shen Dong is unwilling to give up.
Therefore, he had to find a way to get the Hong Kong Island government on board.
Just as Shen Dong was deep in thought, the plane pulled into a teahouse in Tsuen Wan.
Inside the teahouse, a man wearing sunglasses stared coldly at him; it was none other than Tony, the man who had sent him to the hospital.
Since Tony joined the Loyal Trust, he quickly became the leader in charge of a region thanks to his extraordinary skills and ruthless methods.
The Four Heavenly Kings of Loyalty, Righteousness, and Faith subsequently became the Five Heavenly Kings.
Besides Tony, there was another man dressed in sportswear sitting in a chair, playing with a short knife in his hand. He was none other than Wang Bao's capable assistant, Aji.
The plane smiled and said, "You two, it's been a long time."
Tony snorted, pointed to Box Number Two, and said nothing.
Ah Ji didn't even lift his eyelids.
"That's really rude."
The plane pushed open the door to compartment number two and went straight in.
"Airplane, you're a little late."
Li Aji picked up a teapot and poured him a cup of tea.
Sitting next to him was Lian Haolong, the leader of Zhongyixin.
Compared to before, Lian Haolong's aura is much stronger. Sitting there, he is like a high mountain, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
