Twenty years from now, the scale of the Ascendas Group will likely exceed tens of trillions of US dollars, making it truly wealthy enough to rival a country.
If all of Shen Dong's children are interested in fighting for the family fortune, then things will get really out of hand.
If things go wrong, it could not only severely damage Tengfei Group, but also have a dramatic impact on the economy of Xia Kingdom and even the world economy.
Therefore, the future education of children will be a key focus for Shen Dong.
No matter what, Shen Dong will not allow internal strife to occur.
This is his absolute bottom line.
Ahua nodded and said, "Brother Dong, as long as you know what's going on, that's good."
After visiting Tengfei Technology Company, Shen Dong went to Tengfei Beverage Company, Tengfei Instant Noodle Company, and Tengfei Clothing Company, and also specifically checked on the construction progress of Guangpeng Highway.
Today, Tengfei Garment Company and Tengfei Instant Noodles Company not only occupy half of the inland market, but their products have also entered Asia, Africa, and Europe and America.
Thanks to their high quality and low price, Tengfei instant noodles and Tengfei clothing have gained a foothold in these regions.
The former had a staggering monthly profit of $180 million, while the latter followed closely behind with $160 million.
Even Shen Dong was shocked by the outstanding sales performance.
Tengfei Beverage Company's juice has been selling well nationwide, and its profits reached 80 million yuan last month.
Although its sales performance is far inferior to that of instant noodles and clothing, its reputation has already been established, and its success is only a matter of time.
Tengfei Cola and Tengfei Mineral Water have just been launched, and the former's sales can be described as extremely dismal, while the latter is selling quite well.
Unfortunately, in this day and age, the inland economy has not yet developed, and people don't have much money. There are very few people willing to buy bottled water.
Regarding the issue of bottled water, Wei Jixiang even gave Shen Dong a special report, suggesting that the sale of bottled water be suspended and all of it be used to make juice and cola.
Shen Dong did not agree, but only asked Wei Jixiang to increase publicity efforts and make Tengfei mineral water famous, without worrying about sales volume.
In his previous life, those mineral water companies were all incredibly powerful. For example, Nongshan Spring's annual profit could reach four or five billion yuan. Shen Dong would not let go of this lucrative business.
Moreover, if bottled water can't be sold, it can be used to make beverages, which doesn't cost much at all.
In stark contrast to bottled water, Tengfei Cola gained popularity among consumers as soon as it entered the market, thanks to its taste, which was almost identical to Coca-Cola, and its lower price.
Coca-Cola reacted very quickly, launching a price war directly against Shen Dong.
Tengfei Cola's cost was much lower than Coca-Cola's, so it was not afraid of a price war at all. It directly lowered its price to 0.8 yuan and even came up with a prize-winning sales method, which dealt a heavy blow to Coca-Cola, which was priced at 1.2 yuan.
To this day, both sides are still vying for the inland market of Xia.
However, it is impossible for Tengfei Beverage Company to become a giant in the short term, mainly due to the influence of the overall economic environment in inland areas.
However, as long as we persist for a few years and make the brand deeply rooted in people's hearts, once the economy of Xia Guo takes off, Tengfei Beverage Company will also take off, and a market value of over 100 billion will be a piece of cake.
The construction of the Guangpeng Expressway is progressing very quickly.
In just six months, three-quarters of the work has been completed, mainly thanks to the financial resources of the Tengfei Group and the manpower in the inland areas.
Guangdong Province attaches great importance to this expressway. The governor alone has personally inspected the construction site three times, not to mention the other key leaders.
In order to put the expressway into operation as soon as possible, the Guangdong Provincial Government directly helped Tengfei Group to transfer thousands of cranes from neighboring provinces, and the number of construction workers reached more than 8,000, which created such a miracle.
Ten years from now, it would be impossible to build a 100-kilometer-long highway in less than two or three years.
Originally, Shen Dong wanted to visit Guangcheng, Shencheng, and Yandu, but unexpectedly, shocking news came from the Northern Su Kingdom.
The Northern Soviet Union has disintegrated!
Without any warning, the leader of the Northern Soviet Union announced the news directly.
In less than half an hour, the ruble's exchange rate plummeted by 30%.
Compared to the previous life, the disintegration of the Northern Soviet Union in this world occurred a full two months later.
Shen Dong began quietly shorting the ruble eight months ago, spending a total of 30 billion US dollars, using five times leverage, and involving more than 30 securities companies.
While complete secrecy is impossible, the outside world is likely to know at most that it is worth 10 billion US dollars.
Unexpectedly, on the day the Northern Soviet Union disintegrated in his previous life, the Northern Soviet Union in this world remained completely silent, which immediately made Shen Dong panic.
Damn it, could my butterfly effect really cause a huge change in the world?
How is that possible?
Over the next two months, Shen Dong dispatched a large number of economic and financial experts to North Su to conduct on-site investigations.
Just a week ago, the last batch of experts sent him a report saying that apart from the truly dire economic situation, North Soviet Union was still very stable and showed no signs of collapse.
Shen Dong immediately tensed up.
A whopping 30 billion US dollars—if it's lost, even the Ascendas Group will suffer a severe blow.
Now that the Northern Soviet Union has finally disintegrated, Shen Dong can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Brother Dong, have you seen the news? The Northern Soviet Union has disintegrated."
Song Zihao excitedly called Shen Dong.
Shen Dong chuckled and said, "I just saw it. Ah Hao, the disintegration of the Northern Soviet Union will lead to a series of problems, the biggest impact of which will be on the ruble. I estimate that the ruble's exchange rate will drop to almost nothing."
Song Zihao said, "Brother Dong, according to the original plan, our target is a 60% profit. Would you like to increase the profit even further?"
Shen Dong said, "Of course not. A 60% return is already very good. If we raise it any higher, I'm afraid no one will be willing to take over. I don't want to leave so many short positions in our own hands. Ah Hao, you, Ah Hua, Jimmy, Xiao Ma, and Liu Dong take some people to North Sudan. I estimate that the ruble's exchange rate will drop by 60% in at most a week. Your task and Liu Dong's task is to raise money, and Ah Hua and the other two's task is to contact those top scientists in North Sudan and invite them to work for our Tengfei Group. Do you understand?"
Song Zihao said, "Understood. Brother Dong, didn't you want to enter the oil industry? Should we make some contact?"
Shen Dong said, "No rush. The Northern Soviet Union has been divided into more than ten countries. It's not too late to make contact after the new government is formed. The political situation is unstable now. If we buy the oil fields and the new government doesn't honor them, that would be a big problem."
Song Zihao thought for a moment and said, "We can make contact first and do the preliminary work. Then we can sign contracts with each other after the new governments of each country are formed."
Shen Dong hummed in agreement and said, "That's a good idea. You decide what to do."
