Shen Dong said, "It would be best to finalize things within a week. Of course, if A'e doesn't agree, then forget it. Marriage is extremely important for a woman, so don't force it."
Ahua nodded and said, "I understand."
Shen Dong asked, "Jimmy, I heard you have a girlfriend in the mainland. Do you have any plans to get married?"
Jimmy shrugged and said, "We broke up."
Achan whispered, "Scumbag."
Jimmy quickly explained, "Ah Chan, you've misunderstood me. I'm not a jerk. She was the one who suggested breaking up, mainly because her parents didn't approve."
Shen Dong asked curiously, "You're worth tens of millions now, and you're a high-ranking executive at Tengfei Group, why don't her parents agree?"
Jimmy shrugged and said, "The richer I am, the more unreliable they think I am."
Shen Dong asked, "And then? You gave up?"
Jimmy said, "No. I went to her house five times, and each time they kicked me out. Eventually, my girlfriend couldn't take it anymore and broke up with me."
Shen Dong sighed and said, "This only shows that you two are destined to be together but not to stay together. Anyone else? If you want to organize a group wedding, sign up now, or you won't be able to."
Everyone else shook their heads.
Shen Dong said, "Alright, let's start with three couples. This is a major event since the establishment of Tengfei Group, and I will find professionals to plan it. No matter how much it costs, we must make sure the wedding is grand and spectacular. At the same time, we can take this opportunity to get together and have a good get-together."
After the meeting, Shen Dong called Ahua and Song Zihao to his office alone.
"Ah Hao, is there a clear timetable for the acquisition of major Japanese technology companies?" Shen Dong asked.
Song Zihao thought for a moment and said, "I am confident that I can finalize the deals with twelve companies within half a month. Negotiations with more than ten other companies have reached a stalemate and are not progressing much."
Shen Dong frowned and said, "They're almost bankrupt and still struggling to survive. It's really speechless."
Ahua asked, "Aren't we pushing too hard?"
Song Zihao's eyes flashed, and he said, "That's possible. How about this, I'll have some of my brothers back out and say that we've found a replacement technology in Northern Su, to test their reaction."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "Okay. If we can't reach an agreement, then we shouldn't talk anymore. I predict that the Northern Soviet Union might not even last six months. In terms of communications and electronics technology, they are no worse than Japan. Especially those companies under the military, they are all incredibly powerful. At worst, we can wait until the Northern Soviet Union disintegrates."
Ahua said, "Brother Dong, as you instructed, I have sent people to investigate the experts in communications, electronics, semiconductors, and networks in Northern Su. There are a total of 63 people, all of whom are leaders in their respective industries. If they can join Tengfei Technology Company, we can catch up with most countries in research and development in related fields."
Shen Dong said, "Technological competition is essentially talent competition. No matter what, we must bring these scientists to our Tengfei Group."
Ahua said, "I think we can ask those Northern Soviet experts from Tengfei Automobile Company for help. After all, we are Chinese, and if we rashly contact them, we might be arrested as spies."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "You're the head of the tech company. You can decide what to do. A few days ago, I helped the Xia Kingdom's military buy a lot of heavy equipment from the Northern Soviet Union, totaling $2.53 billion. The inland government said that this debt can be repaid in other ways. Ahua, you need to determine the address of the tech company as soon as possible. It doesn't matter how much money it costs, the key is not to delay the development of Tengfei Technology."
Ahua said, "I understand."
Shen Dong said, "Ah Hao, allocate funds and slowly short the North Soviet Union's ruble. It would be best to divide it into dozens of teams and try not to let outsiders notice. Anyway, there's still plenty of time, so we don't need to rush."
Song Zihao asked, "How much was the first sum of money?"
Shen Dong said, "Same as always, 10 billion US dollars, leveraged five times. We'll enter quietly over three months."
Song Zihao frowned and said, "With such a large amount of funds, it will be difficult to avoid attracting the attention of international capital."
Ahua said, "I think we can secretly acquire a few European and American investment companies, or at the very least, set up a few shell companies abroad and conduct transactions in their names."
Shen Dong's eyes lit up, and he said, "This method is feasible."
Song Zihao gave Ahua a thumbs up and said, "Smart. I know what to do."
Shen Dong said in a deep voice, "The disintegration of the Northern Soviet Union is almost a foregone conclusion. Its oil and natural gas resources are extremely rich. We should take this opportunity to buy as many oil fields as possible and form Tengfei Oil and Gas Company. Based on the Northern Soviet oil fields, we will enter the oil industry."
Ahua took a deep breath and said, "Brother Dong, aren't we moving too fast?"
Shen Dong laughed and said, "Are you worried about an unstable foundation?"
Ahua nodded and said, "Yes. Our industries seem to span quite a wide range."
Shen Dong said, "Tengfei Technology Company is a combination of twenty or thirty Japanese technology companies and tens of thousands of patented technologies. As long as we bring their production lines over, we can produce all kinds of electronic devices and electronic products needed in the mainland, with almost zero gaps."
"I'll let you in on a secret: I have a groundbreaking communication technology that, if successful, could change the entire world. Once the communications company is established, you must immediately organize experts to conduct research and development."
"As for Tengfei Oil and Gas Company, I don't expect you to manage it. We just need to acquire a few oil companies and select some talent from them to enter the management team. If that doesn't work, we can poach some talent from outside."
"The most important step is to cooperate with the governments of the countries where the oil is located and give them 10 percent of the profits free of charge. In this way, we will gain the full support of these governments and be able to obtain more oil field exploration rights in future development."
Ahua said, "The problem is how to control the future of Tengfei Oil and Gas Company? As the saying goes, those who are not of our kind will surely have different intentions. If the person in charge of the company has ulterior motives, it may cause extremely bad consequences."
Shen Dong said, "Whether it's an oil and gas company or any other company, the most important things are finance and human resources. One manages the money, and the other manages the people. As long as these two departments are our own people, there won't be a problem with whoever is the CEO. What's more, I will also send Dragon Soar mercenaries to be stationed here."
"Alright, let's not talk about this for now. If the Northern Soviet Union doesn't collapse by then, all our plans will be for naught."
Ahua and Song Zihao both nodded.
