My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 644 Having such a wife, I can't help but rant.
So I went back to the car and looked at the map.

The reservoir is located more than 20 kilometers away along the highway in the suburbs.

Moreover, the reservoir is only 40 to 50 kilometers from the Badaling Great Wall, so we decided to drive there for a visit.

Wei Dong also wanted to see what the top scenic tourist areas in China were like.

However, Dong Xueqing fired the first shot, holding her son and rolling her eyes: "I'll ride in my brother's car."

Qin Yuye wouldn't back down: "It's not that I'm clinging to you, but why should I drive alone to follow you? Mao'er, you drive your brother's car, Zhuoma, you ride over too. Let's go, let's buy a case of soda, some snacks, and a fan and a sun hat. This is a great time for a picnic."

As it turned out, she was experienced and put those skills to good use.

Anyway, they're all piled up on 212.

The Jeep was filled with words.

"I didn't mean to make things difficult for you, but I really missed you after a month or so."

Wei Dong almost jerked his steering wheel: "Why are you saying all this!"

Fengchu was still holding her son, listening intently from the passenger seat.

When they brought Weidong back, they told the pregnant woman there wouldn't be any trouble; it was just a technical certification process.

This is a blatant slap in the face.

Qin Yuye has the kind of Western style that dares to express himself: "At first, it was indeed to get back the denim brand that I told Uncle De and Lao Heng that we were dating. There's nothing embarrassing about it. Everyone, including Uncle De and Lao Heng, gets married based on their interests. That's why they have more freedom of choice as they get older."

After thinking about it, Wei Dong realized it was true.

Like gold being sifted from sand, and pearls hidden in the vast ocean, the marriages of the wealthy who have weathered decades of ups and downs are often crucial early stages of resource integration and restructuring.

For young talents, securing a suitable marriage at a young age is undoubtedly a huge boost to their success.

This isn't about someone who doesn't want to work hard and relies on a rich woman to live off him; it's about capable people marrying into families with resources.

This is commonplace in Hong Kong.

No wonder Chi Shih-ming chose this method without hesitation.

Wei Dong still stubbornly insisted: "We don't need to. We can seize the opportunity. In my opinion, marriage is just about living together. I don't need to rely on anyone's resources. I can succeed on my own... Of course, you do have the ability to help me."

Qin Yuye was not arrogant because of his achievements: "Lawson also wants to do the same. He has failed time and time again in his efforts to succeed on his own and had to swallow his pride and bow his head. So if I have the opportunity to redeem Colorful Cowboy on my own, of course I am willing to try. Even if it costs me marriage, I want to have my own business. I am really fed up with Lawson's unreliable and unconventional ways."

Her Mandarin has a slight Jiangzhou accent, with little Cantonese: "So these past two years in Jiangzhou have been relaxing, happy, and very fulfilling. Whether it's getting along with everyone or the smooth progress in my work and career, of course, most importantly, Pete is a good person without any ulterior motives. He's simple, has a down-to-earth lifestyle, and has a unique vision and exceptional strategic thinking. He's a great partner, and we've never crossed that line, right?"

As the high-end version that was planned to be imported at the time, the Jeep CJ came with air conditioning, while the 212 did not. The shock absorption system was also far superior to that of the 212. Qin Yuye comfortably leaned back in the narrow rear seat.

She wore an ordinary silver-gray shirt with a large lapel, yet she exuded charm. The back was incredibly narrow, but she still looked like a landlady with her lazy demeanor.

Beautiful and elegant.

Heaven knows she's not even twenty yet, so where does this overflowing sense of being a married woman come from? "But now that we've got the marriage certificate, things are bound to change."

Wei Dong glanced at the rearview mirror, not daring to look any longer: "Regarding getting the license, now that the three of us are here, we can be frank that it's for our own survival. We invested ten million US dollars in the container group to help build this behemoth from scratch, and more importantly, to help balance the various ownership relationships within it. I suspect that Lao Fang has some other considerations. These are all old foxes. If I don't leave myself a way out, I might end up with nothing but bones."

Fengchu nodded earnestly.

Qin Yuye smiled secretly, biting her lip. Xiao Die, who was standing in front of her listening attentively to her father's ramblings, turned around and looked at her before quickly adopting the dignified demeanor of a virtuous wife and loving mother.

"It's not that having Hong Kong residency is a get-out-of-jail-free card, but rather that it could be used against us. So, it's like Lao Fang voluntarily handed over his leverage to me. He's been in jail for several years and understands the dangers involved. Do you think we're after these container and port companies? Of course, businessmen are. I've told Pingjing with my confidence that he can take them back if he wants. But it's clear that we can make the most of this stage. Having such valuable assets in hand, and being able to influence and control this stage, can bring so much convenience to our other businesses. So, even if we give them all back for free in the end, we've already made our profit. Just consider this: if Yangtze River freight enters the container era, who do you think will be the biggest winner?"

The reason for building the Three Gorges Dam was to raise the water level and allow 10,000-ton container ships to reach Jiangzhou, thus stimulating the development of this heartland of southwest China. The old security guard from Shangzhou now understands the connection between these two points.

Unexpectedly, I managed to fix every single link myself.

We have shipping companies, scenic spots in the reservoir area, and container companies; all that's left is to build the dam.

Honestly, Zhang Lanzhi isn't interested in these kinds of things. She can focus on assisting with her secretarial work, but instead of trying to figure out the underlying logic, she might as well eat something.

Dong Xueying lacked macro-level thinking ability; she only learned a little bit from You Pai, and her speech was somewhat similar, enough to fool those at the level of the shell company.

Any further, more in-depth, or ambitious calculations would be completely beyond my capabilities.

Even Shen Cuiyue didn't care about these things. She would just rummage around the house, and then the servants wouldn't be able to steal even a single piece of paper from the house.

Only these two had their beautiful eyes sparkling as they listened, oh, and there was also the three-and-a-half-year-old child leaning on the front armrest.

Dong Xueba also summarized: "In order to develop Jiangzhou and control floods, we will definitely build dams, the water level will definitely rise, and container shipping will definitely develop in Jiangzhou. This is the business strategy we have taken in advance."

Wei Dong nodded: "Yes, including why I spent ten million US dollars to buy two domestically produced port machines, it's all to increase our leverage. Theoretically, the easiest way to make money right now is in real estate, and we've helped to point out the direction. But Chi Shiming and Lao Geng can retain our ability to do real estate, but it absolutely cannot become our main business!"

Dong Xueqing overheard: "Because it's easy to do, then you have to compete with a lot of other people?"

Qin Yuye was lacking in this aspect, so he quickly clapped, and Xiaodie clapped as well.

Qin Yuye nodded and said, "Then I won't get involved in these things. Shipping, docks, and factories are our core businesses."

Wei Dong explained to her: "You've succeeded because of your expertise in denim clothing, cosmetics, and even computer software. These things have professional barriers to entry and won't easily attract big players to compete for them. So our core business is still manufacturing, with some residential communities and commercial center real estate as side projects. The scale we've built is already quite impressive."

The Hong Kong girl familiar with the situation said: "Given our scale and the fact that we're developing very steadily, we could probably reach over 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in ten years. Hehe, we'd be considered a Hong Kong tycoon."

Wei Dong didn't mince words: "Xiao Qin, we agreed to sign an agreement that after five or ten years, all the assets in Hong Kong can belong to you. Since I now have a child with Xiao Dong, all I want is this Hong Kong residency status..."

Qin Yuye slowly interrupted, "I'm giving in to my wife now. I don't agree to a divorce, I don't want a share of assets, I want stability, and I have my own abilities to demonstrate. I'm not just a decorative vase. For example, regarding the Wanmad Hotel Group, I can give you the answer as to why we need a hotel group like this to cooperate with."

Wei Dong was about to assert his authority as a husband and declare that whatever he said was law, but the second half of the sentence immediately put him in his place.

The logic is simple: "Four-star and five-star hotels are the most iconic buildings that establish the high-end status of commercial land. As long as the hotel itself does not lose money or loses little money, it directly boosts the commercial value of the real estate in that area. For example, if you build a five-star luxury hotel in an international community, wouldn't the apartment buildings next to it be sold at high prices?"

Wei Dong immediately realized, "Oh, is that how it is?"

Dong Xueqing also realized: "Isn't this the same tactic we used when we went to Hong Kong to see that amusement park, which boosted the surrounding property prices?"

Qin Yuye nodded and said, "Moreover, this approach is exactly what suits us best. You mentioned building a five-star hotel in a bustling area. If we don't have any land for development nearby, or the area is small, or the land price is already high, then building this hotel won't have much of a stimulating effect. It has to be a five-star hotel with low land prices, a large area to be developed, or even a unique first five-star hotel. Wouldn't that instantly drive up the surrounding land and housing prices?"

Wei Dong then realized that Li Bancheng from Hong Kong was acquiring land all over the mainland, especially the best land, and building real estate projects with high-end hotels. This not only boosted the reputation of the area around the hotels, but also improved the brand positioning of the entire real estate company. Consumers felt that it was only natural for his company to sell houses at higher prices.

So it turns out that five-star hotels are most delicious when paired with real estate development.

Unfortunately, I'm not in the real estate business.

But this approach is clearly feasible.

At least in the Shanghai International Community, this approach can be used to solve the problem in this industrial park on Pingjing Airport Road.

Anyway, at this point, Wei Dong couldn't help but glance at the rearview mirror and the passenger seat.

If these two women, who are actually more business-savvy than him, were his wives, this family would probably be rolling in money.

It’s been done.
