Li's mother gasped and said, "Indeed... a bit scary."
Li Xinxin said, "I have talked to Qiuti, Yongen, and Haitang, and none of them are willing to let their children inherit such a huge family fortune."
Li's mother nodded and asked, "Has Shen Dong discussed the issue of an heir?"
Li Xinxin said, "We've talked about it. It depends on the children's interests. If they don't want to go into business, he'll leave each of them two billion US dollars so they can do what they love. If they want to go into business, then they can start their own businesses. Mom, I really don't want this child to inherit the Tengfei Group. I just want him to live a happy life."
Li's mother said, "You're right. Hehe, two billion US dollars is enough for an ordinary person to live on for several lifetimes."
The conversation between the mother and daughter was overheard by Shen Dong and Haitang, who were outside the door.
Shen Dong pulled Haitang aside and asked softly, "What would you choose?"
Haitang said, "The four of us share the same thought: none of us want our children to inherit your Tengfei Group. It's too big. Whoever takes your place will probably be in a state of constant turmoil for the rest of their lives."
Shen Dong was silent for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "It seems that having too much money isn't a good thing."
Haitang said, "If it's just a few hundred billion in assets, everyone would want to fight for more for their children so that they won't be poor in the future. But if it's hundreds of billions, trillions, or even ten trillion in assets, then there's absolutely no need to fight for it. Because at that level, the children will never lack money. As mothers, we just hope that they can live a healthy and happy life."
Shen Dong shrugged and said, "To be honest, I've always worried that internal strife might happen in the future. Now it seems that I was being a bit of a worrier."
Haitang smiled and said, "What you should be worried about is that no one will inherit the Tengfei Group in the future."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "Indeed. Anyone else would be under so much pressure that they probably wouldn't be able to sleep."
After spending three days with Li Xinxin at the hospital, Shen Dong visited Tengfei Martial Arts Academy.
"Brother Dong, the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament is being held in two months? Brother Dong, are you serious?"
Upon hearing Shen Dong's words, Feng Yuxiu immediately stood up, his face full of surprise.
Xiahou Wu, Li Shanqun, Hong Dali, Gao Jin, and others also looked excited.
Shen Dong laughed and said, "I originally planned to hold our Xia Kingdom's National Martial Arts Competition first, and then the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament. But then I felt that it wasn't very interesting to do it all by myself, so I decided to hold them together. What do you guys think?"
Feng Yuxiu said, "That goes without saying, I wholeheartedly agree."
Li Shanqun said, "What have we been learning martial arts since we were young? Isn't it so that we can compete with the best masters in the world? This time we finally have the opportunity."
Everyone else chimed in.
Shen Dong waved his hand and said, "Listen to me. This competition will be held on our super luxury cruise ship. The invited participants are top experts who can punch more than 300 kilograms at a time. There are no rules for the competition."
Xiahou Wu said, "If that's the case, then people are very likely to die."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "Therefore, during the competition, the cruise ship will remain adrift in international waters, and the boxers will sign a waiver of liability."
Feng Yuxiu said, "Brother Dong, I think that not many people would dare to participate in such a dangerous martial arts competition."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "That depends on how generous the prize money is. I will invite the world's richest people to watch the fights, and each match will be wagered, with two percent of the wager split equally between the two fighters. In addition, all participating fighters will receive prize money. The champion will receive fifty million US dollars, the runner-up thirty million US dollars, and the third-place winner twenty million US dollars. With such high prize money, I don't believe it won't attract those top fighters."
Xiahou Wu asked, "Brother Dong, how much does it cost to host this martial arts tournament?"
Shen Dong said, "Regardless of the outcome of the boxing match, we will collect a 3% commission on betting. If we do it well, we will not only avoid losing money, but we may even make a profit. Alright, you all get ready. I have only one request: don't show off in the ring. I don't want to hold a funeral for any of you."
Everyone answered in unison, "Yes."
News of Shen Dong's plan to host the world's premier martial arts tournament quickly spread throughout Hong Kong.
Countless Hong Kong Island residents were so shocked their eyes practically popped out.
No one expected that something that only existed in movies would actually happen in real life.
What's most enviable is the prize money, which amounts to tens of millions of US dollars, enough for an ordinary person to live comfortably for ten lifetimes.
Many members of clubs who consider themselves experts want to join.
According to the rules announced by Shen Dong, as long as you can enter the competition, you can get ten thousand US dollars.
However, when they saw that the condition for entering the ring was a punch of 300 kilograms, 99% of the people gave up immediately.
What does 300 kilograms mean?
Those heavyweight professional boxers from abroad who can deliver a punch that can hit 300 kilograms are already considered top-tier fighters.
It's simply impossible for an average person to do that.
Even when a master of Ming Jin (a type of martial art) unleashes their full power, it is difficult for them to generate a force of 300 kilograms in an instant.
For this boxing match, Shen Dong spared no expense on advertising.
He launched advertisements on major television stations around the world, and also sent invitations to militaries and powerful underworld organizations in various countries, asking them to send their best fighters to participate and show off their skills.
Lighthouse Country Hongbang Headquarters
The Hung Gang is recognized as the world's largest organization, with more than 200,000 members spread all over the world.
The names of the various branches are all different, and they don't usually interact much, but they all claim to be from the Hung Gang.
Hong Gang leader Cheng Yutian passed an invitation around to several core members and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Deputy Gang Leader Feng Nan took a drag of his cigarette and said, "This young man, Shen Dong, is really ambitious. He actually dares to organize the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament. This is too attractive to a martial arts practitioner. I think we must send a few real masters there, and it would be best if they could win first place."
Everyone else chimed in.
Cheng Yutian said, "I've already heard that Shen Dong has sent invitations to military forces, gangs, and kung fu schools around the world. If they all agree to send people, it means that this competition is truly the number one martial arts tournament in the world."
An elegant middle-aged woman asked, "I don't understand, what is the purpose of Shen Dong holding this conference?"
Cheng Yutian said, "Shen Dong opened a Tengfei Martial Arts Academy, which has many masters. They once defeated the Japanese Karate Association in Hong Kong. I think it's very likely that he did this to promote Chinese Kung Fu."
Feng Nan laughed and said, "I'll make some more money while I'm at it."
