My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 538 Making money, what's the point of talking about feelings?

Just like Shangzhou's foreign trade over several decades and nearly a century, it has accumulated wealth and various architectural styles and lifestyles brought about by exchanges with overseas countries.

Jiangzhou, on the other hand, lacks this historical depth and mainly reflects the style of the Republican era during the wartime capital period.

There are hardly any foreign traces at all; during the War of Resistance against Japan, only the Great Han Ming Kingdom came here to seek refuge.

Maybe that's when he learned the kimchi-making skills from Jiangzhou.

Shanghai is a place that brings together all the best of modern history, leaving its mark on every stage of modern history.

Not to mention the presence of various foreign tycoons and merchants in the concessions, which indeed created a huge demand for foreign-related services.

Take, for example, the electronics industrial park that Shanghai started promoting in 84. It has a bunch of electronics factories and joint ventures of all sizes, but there's a lot of hype and not much real money involved.

However, it also involves various foreign investors, Hong Kong and Taiwan investors, and management, engineers and technicians who travel for business or are dispatched abroad.

So, the reason why Hong Kong businessmen are willing to invest so much in this urban-rural fringe area is not only to buy a ticket to enter Shanghai, but also to target this group of people.

The architectural design and scale are both of a high standard.

After seven or eight months of construction, the outline is already visible. The semi-circular hotel building is said to have more than a thousand rooms, the office building has more than thirty floors, and the commercial center plus the podium is also a total of seventy or eighty thousand square meters.

Although they don't have a unified architectural style or appearance, they still have a small community feel when they are gathered together.

Liu Xiaoyong and the others watched with admiration, and then they all followed Wei Dong's example and took photos with their cameras. Some of them had participated in the construction drawings and could even describe the ins and outs of the project.

Wei Dong was given a brief look at the factory's products, but his main focus remained on real estate.

We walked along this side of the industrial park towards the international community, which is about two or three kilometers away.

Apart from its own factory area and the joint venture industrial park built by the Hong Kong side, everything else is old and dilapidated.

Even the park's management committee is located in a courtyard of a two-story building, which looks similar to a township enterprise.

Some even directly requisitioned farmhouses to set up factories and offices.

This further highlights the attractiveness of the Dongsheng Industrial Park and its joint venture supporting parks, making them stand out like Qiu Xiang among a bunch of misfits.

The city of Shanghai, which is paying close attention to this "most advanced and important" electronics industrial park in China, may have decided to entrust the management of the international community to Wei Dong precisely because of this contrast.

The three cars drove very slowly, stopping every now and then on the two or three-kilometer country road to look out into the distance.

It was the time of year when spring was lush and green, and the cool breeze before dusk was very pleasant.

The area is crisscrossed by streams and canals, and water birds often fly by, creating long ripples.

Combined with the afterglow of the setting sun in the distance, it was incredibly beautiful.

Wei Dong was so frustrated he wanted to come up with a word, but in the end he could only manage a "Holy crap!"

Little Butterfly was also dancing with joy, she must have spotted the moths fluttering by the river.

Seeing her expression, Ram pulled the stone to the grass on the bank, grabbed one, and tied it with her long hair.

Then you can hold their hand and play with them.

Qin Yuye, who was driving, walked around and stood beside him: "The scenery is beautiful enough as it is. Why did you have to tear it down to build factories and buildings? It's such a pity."

Before Wei Dong could even speak, Xiao Die had already clicked her tongue in amazement!
At this moment, Liu Xiaoyong, who got off the Flying Tiger van, said: "Distant mountains float with ink shadows, and broken gold is scattered on a thousand sails."

Wei Dong laughed: "Look, it's so that our culture can rightfully be considered the most beautiful civilization in the world."

The Hong Kong girl was a little confused: "Huh? Is it the most beautiful civilization?"

Wei Dong nodded: "Money talks, and people can say whatever they want. Poverty makes couples miserable all the time. Now people are starting to doubt that our race and culture are adapted to modern society. Poverty makes people kneel down to the rich without any regard for anything. Didn't you see that at the party and cultural event in Building 5?"

Speaking of this, Qin Yuye immediately understood: "My God, so many people are pursuing me, expressing their love like crazy, and some even shower me with compliments the first time we meet!"

Wei Dong didn't react with any sourness at all; instead, he laughed heartily: "So you felt great, didn't you?"

Qin Yuye sighed: "But as soon as they find out that Jenny comes from a billionaire family, all that affection immediately swarms over there!"

She laughed heartily, showing no sign of disappointment.

Wei Dong gloated, "Isn't Chi Shiming incredibly annoyed?"

Hong Kong girl gossips: "Yeah, you didn't see it. So many artists, dressed in rags and with messy hair, are really talented. Jenny is especially into art and she was chatting with them enthusiastically, while Ah Ming was standing next to her like he'd eaten shit!"

Wei Dong laughed heartily: "Now he should experience the feeling your older brother was talking about. It's hard to explain, and people won't listen. You have to treat him with utmost care."

Qin Yuye said seriously, "So, observing the two of them, I have truly come to understand what you taught me: you must have your own business and be in charge of your own life to feel truly comfortable."

At nineteen, she was able to grasp this concept and indeed had the capital to manage it.

Wei Dong silently gave her a thumbs up.

The Hong Kong girl had only glanced at the man discreetly following his gesture when she saw Xiaodie listening intently to the gossip, practically ready to eat sunflower seeds.

He immediately burst into laughter, and despite the girl's resistance as she held her head, he kissed her apple-shaped cheeks several times.

Xiaodie was so angry that she wiped her face vigorously and spat repeatedly. Weidong recognized the tone of her voice; it was the same tone she often used when spitting at Shen Laosan.

Could it be that this kind of stimulation method can trigger a child's urge to communicate?
She quickly gave Qin Yuye a subtle wink, signaling that she could be even more ruthless next time...

Qin Yuye couldn't help but let his eyes sparkle; this kind of man was a thousand times better than those smooth-talking scumbags.

The key is that there's money involved.

Apple has money too.

Around 8 o'clock, when Steve's business jet arrived, Wei Dong and Liu Xiaoyong had already combined their on-site experience with a set of plans from a major North American architectural manual to piece together a community blueprint centered around water.

The remaining task is for the technicians to quickly produce a panoramic rendering, a large one.

Wei Dong even encouraged them to find a way to get a large hydrogen balloon, carry a string of cameras into the air to take continuous photos of the entire plot of land, and to consult with the Xishan factory for specific technical advice.

Air Force aerial photography is mostly from a bird's-eye view, and this kind of drone-like shooting effect at a height of dozens of stories is most suitable for large-scale scene simulation and explanation.

Moreover, a novel perspective is what truly amazes laymen.

Qin Yuye quietly took care of the child from the side. Since the child wouldn't spend time with her, she would arrange tea, coffee, and small cakes.

The four technicians had different reactions.

So when they were standing at the VIP entrance, the Hong Kong girl whispered to Rang Weidong, "You can keep that employee surnamed Fan in check. Liu Xiaoyong is not bad; give him more opportunities."

Wei Dong was surprised: "How did you figure that out?"

To be honest, his contribution to the development of this group of technicians was mainly due to Liu Xiaoyong's good performance; everything else was just a side effect.

The guy surnamed Fan was the one who drank Maotai and smoked Huazhi the most enthusiastically on the flight.

Qin Yuye still carries on the tradition: "Lawson taught me that when dealing with subordinates, first show a little goodwill, arrange some extra benefits such as food and drinks, and observe whether the person accepts it with a sense of entitlement or embarrassment. If it is the former, immediately withdraw the goodwill and deal with them with authority and irritability to be effective. If it is the latter, then continue to show goodwill, and they will give you more in return."

Wei Dong said he understood and had learned something.

A rich and beautiful woman like Jenny probably has no interest in using these tricks to test the people around her. Who wouldn't fawn over her? Wei Dong might be an exception.

This is precisely why newly rising stars like Wei Dong and Qin Yuye need to be particularly discerning about the people around them.

Steve, too, came out looking travel-worn, not at all like someone who had arrived on a business jet. He gave Wei Dong a deep hug, and surprisingly, he smelled a bit sour!

This is very rare among foreigners who generally like to wear perfume, especially for someone of this billionaire's level.

Qin Yuye, who also received a hug, secretly gave Wei Dong a wink.

Then the fragrant aroma almost made Wei Dong faint, and Xiao Die, who was being squeezed, screamed in anger!
Demimore also arrived?

Steve clarified, "She just happened to say that she wanted to talk to you guys about shooting a new commercial, so we came over to take a look."

When was such an agreement ever reached? But Qin Yuye nodded as he translated, and the young movie star was all smiles.

Wei Dong pretended not to feel the pressure on his arm: "I thought you already had your own ideas for this year's product promotion, but I have to wait until the new products come out before I can provide any convincing evidence."

Steve was a little surprised that Qin Yuye had brought a child to discuss business, so Qin Yuye quickly explained that the child had autism.

He even added that he would make up for it by having Wei Dong's ex-wife's child, who was not his biological child but whom he treated as his own, take care of him: "In Pete's view, children are the most innocent and should not be harmed."

Since even her virginity was sold to a neighbor by her mother, Demimore instantly relaxed and gently reached out to touch the baby.

As a result, Xiaodie almost bit my hand with a loud yelp. Why is she doing it again?!
The foreign woman was amused by the grumpy little boy and her attention was on him the whole time.

They had to call two taxis to fit Steve's entourage and assistants.

But there were only four people sitting in the Bluebird. Wei Dong originally said he would go directly to the factory, but Steve was most interested in the glass pyramid: "Take a look at that first. I was amazed when I saw the photos. Barbara said it was your work. The contrast with the surrounding architecture and landscape makes it feel like a time travel."

Considering that all computer equipment is also available at the pyramid, Wei Dong had the translator drive into the city.

Qin Yuye was extremely busy. He had to identify the roads, notify other drivers to lead the way to a different destination, pay attention to English communication and translation, and drive.

And she also had to deal with the young actress in the passenger seat.

After finally navigating through the brightly lit, bustling city streets, we arrived at the Bund.

At night, before the lighting project was completed, the Bund buildings were completely dark, and their outlines could only be barely seen by the streetlights.

The glass pyramid, however, stands brightly lit like a diamond on the riverbank.

Steve was full of praise from afar, so he parked the car and quickly jogged over.

Slow down, you two girls.

After observing him the whole way, Demimore finally asked, "Do you love him?"

The love you have for Ma, who sells fried dough twists, is something those who make money never care about.
