My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 726 Starting with a Royal Flush
Leung Ka-fai is not bad.

Even after witnessing such a mega-business agreement being reached, one can remain calm and composed.

The wife was also quite good; when she was beckoned over and heard that they were going to jointly develop and transform the warehouse into a super seaside city project worth tens of billions, she didn't faint.

The calm statement indicated that a series of contracts and agreements would be immediately initiated, along with the establishment of the new company and the launch of related projects.

Because this definitely involves a lot of contract documents and land applications.

Currently, Wei Dong is free to do whatever he wants with the entire dock area, and they even hope he can do as much as possible for free, in order to cover up the fact that demolition and construction may begin in some areas.

These are projects worth tens of billions, so why would they care about the small amount of profit during this transition period? They're begging him to make a big splash, and the capitalists are the ones who benefit for free.

So after Lao Heng left satisfied, Qin Yuye suddenly jumped onto Wei Dong and performed the Wu Song Fighting the Tiger routine!
Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to express the intensity of her emotions.

Wei Dong kept saying he had no intention of doing any projects in Hong Kong, but now he's started with a game-winning move.

Moreover, it was from an angle that no one would have thought of, creating a new world by sprouting new buds from a dead tree.

He's the kind of person who can't live without others.

The bigger the billionaire, the more they understand that it would be difficult for anyone else to gather such a large number of basketball enthusiasts in just a month or two.

Jiangzhou City serves as a negative example.

They seemed to have fully grasped how the auto expo was organized, and under the leadership of the city, the Textile Station of the Light Industry Bureau and the Daily Chemical Station of the Second Light Industry Bureau followed suit and launched two grand events after the Spring Festival: the "National Clothing Expo" and the "National Daily Chemical Products Expo," investing manpower and resources.

The scene can be imagined.

A bunch of official letters were sent all over the country, but no one paid any attention.

No manufacturers or brands registered to participate in the exhibition, nor did any distributors, individual business owners, or sales companies from all over the country come to visit.

Did you really think that all those Dongsheng sales companies and salespeople who visited and solicited customers all over the country were just for nothing?

Is it really a waste of money to let Wei Dong advertise the trade fair on TV, publish lengthy commentary articles in the Sunshine Daily, and take up half a page of advertising?
Do you really think that if he doesn't interfere with the operation of the exhibition hall, the entire exhibition is truly an exhibition hall event, or even a grand spectacle organized by the exhibition company led by Lao Gao?
Several of Wei Dong's top generals vaguely knew about the changes, and they must have been wondering privately why their boss only stayed in Shenzhen and Hong Kong around the Spring Festival.

They must be well aware that their boss has been completely excluded from these two exhibitions.

Then they'll outwardly comply but inwardly defy them.

Even at clothing expos, where free exhibition space is provided, the staff simply send people to move a few shelves and set them up like individual business owners sitting in a shop.

The daily chemical products expo was even more perfunctory. Hong Tiancheng simply had someone bring over a few bottles of shampoo and cosmetics, put them on the table, and that was it.

Even Lao Tang from the Economic Development Zone remained silent, not mentioning anything about advertising or organizing accommodations. Instead, he busied himself with organizing the food street, which was to be moved to a Hong Kong-owned residential complex a couple hundred meters away after the auto show, making it seem as if he was busy with work within the Economic Development Zone and hadn't participated in the exhibition.

You can imagine how awkward those two exhibitions must have been.

A large amount of valuable funds were spent on how to fill the exhibition space.

The government paid for various manufacturers to come over, but the offices were all empty, like a state-run restaurant with flies buzzing around.

Even the later daily chemical products expo, which brought over the city's acrobatic troupe and dance troupe to perform on-site and advertised in the Jiangzhou Evening News, attracted many citizens to watch the spectacle.

No orders.

A transaction involving just two or three birds, worth tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, cannot be faked.

In the end, they could only try to fob people off with claims of millions in intended orders.

It happened so quietly, as if nothing had ever happened.

When Dong Xueqing called the child's father, she felt a gleeful glee: "Serves you right! Trying to pick up fallen peaches is what you deserve."

It would be such a pity if Wei Dong didn't have any compassion or pity for his assets being wasted.

But he definitely saw further than the second child's mother: "Just don't offend anyone. Maybe this is something that all parties are doing together to show some people, right? A perfectly good auto expo that could have generated billions has now turned into a few hundred thousand in actual transactions. Everyone can see what the results are if different approaches are taken, and even what the mentality of each participating party is, and what their true intentions are. Showing all of this is the purpose."

This is game theory.

Thinking along these lines, it's terrifying to think about why Chongchong's visa was blocked back then.

Do you really think that someone who manages a few million people is inferior to a billionaire?
They each see things from different perspectives.

At that time, the Economic Commission asked Wei Dong to participate in setting up a private bank, but he tried his best to refuse and even followed Lao Fang to Pengzhen, which showed that he knew about this situation.

With so many problems in the banking industry, he would be utterly doomed if he were to take on this role.

Haven't the power struggles between local and national tax authorities been enough?

The tax authorities are precisely the ones who understand this clash between local authorities and higher-ups best. Only ordinary people outside the tax authorities believe that the lower levels simply follow the orders of the higher levels.

In contrast, the China Merchants Investment Bank, which Lao Fang runs, doesn't have this kind of inter-agency dynamic, which is why Wei Dong was only reluctantly allowed to participate.

That's the biggest difference.

From Jiangzhou's perspective, it's actually quite unpleasant.

Despite being a pilot area for economic system reform, where no problems arose and only fruitful results were achieved, the leading region was suppressed.

How can we get anything done like this? Fengchu's heart is only with his lord: "Hmm, brother, you think things through. I'll just do my job. When are you coming back? It's been about twenty days."

Right? Even such a thoughtful woman has to keep track of her own finances.

Not to mention local finances.

Wei Dong was suddenly embarrassed: "Oh dear, where did this time limit come from? We shouldn't quantify KPIs like this... We've only been running for a few days and we've already signed a big deal."

The main problem was the aircraft carrier, which caused a delay of more than ten days between Pengzhou and Shenzhen, resulting in a collision between the Shanghai and Jiangzhou ferry services.

Dong Xueqing wasn't urging her: "Hehe, I miss you, and Chongchong misses you too. Let's just come stay with Mom and Dad for the next couple of days. They won't even be running restaurants anymore; they'll just stay home and take care of the kids every day."

Wei Dong thought to himself, "Well... how about I go to Yuezhou in a couple of days, Saturday, and you can take the kids there to play for a while?"

Dong Xueqing must have already taken stock of her work: "Okay, okay, it's a deal then, see you on Saturday!"

Wei Dong put away the black pearl and went back to instruct Shen Laosan: "Contact the head of Hesheng and ask him to send a few people with clean records. Also, get a registration photo of him and have him come back to Guangzhou with us this weekend. I'll handle the formalities for him."

Then he picked up Xiaodie, who was watching TV with him, and took her back to the house: "Don't stare at the TV for too long, it'll hurt your eyes."

Before the daughter could respond, the wife, enjoying the sight so much, had already hummed in agreement.

Holy crap, Little Butterfly!

Moreover, when Dad went back to the bedroom, he dragged the bed over to block the door, and he looked completely helpless.

Do you guys have to be so childish...?

Qin Yuye returned to the master bedroom and discovered that the lock cylinder had been removed from the door, which made him laugh so hard he almost fainted.

He immediately joined Shen Laosan in the game with great enthusiasm.

Wei Dong had no choice but to live with his daughter; if he slept in the living room again, who knows what kind of debauchery he would wake up to.

Both of them have no bottom line.

But the next day, Liang Jiahui, who was ordered to go out as a scout, reported that he had found the girl who was sailing!

He also bypassed Shen Cuiyue and Qin Yuye to secretly state: "In the countryside of the outlying islands, I asked several friends to inquire about people who like windsurfing, and only after many twists and turns did I find out that her name was Li Yue'e."

That's right. He only vaguely remembered that Wei Dong's name was Li Yue something. She was an Olympic champion, and should have been a household name, but she was from Hong Kong for many years, so he only had an impression of her.

If I remember receiving it before the millennium, then I should be alive.

Asking Leung Ka-fai to do this would be the most appropriate thing to do.

He's always free, and he has a lot of shady friends. The key thing is that he's the only one who's curious about how the boss knows, which allows Wei Dong to mysteriously point to the sky.

Even forgetting the full name can be explained as: "I just glanced at it and said it was a rising star. You know there are conflicts of interest between different departments, so it's not good to ask too many questions."

Liang Jiahui, who is usually a mischievous and eccentric character, became much more restrained in front of Wei Dong, making a face before leaving.

He came from a poor family that fled to Hong Kong with his grandparents, but over the decades, they were able to support him through university, where he studied advertising design, though not exactly well-off.

So, right after graduation, he took advantage of his good looks to attend a TVB training class and became classmates and friends with Andy Lau, who was three years younger than him.

That's why she went with Andy Lau to be Chow Yun-fat's bodyguard during her internship.

But after finishing his studies, his thoughts as a college student differed from those of Andy Lau, who was uneducated. He felt that TVB's long-term contracts were unfair and refused to sign one.

Seeing Andy Lau become famous for playing Yang Guo in The Return of the Condor Heroes, he sponged off his parents and used his savings to start a magazine, which ended up losing everything.

In fact, you can see from these details that he has a different mindset from Andy Lau and Chow Yun-fat.

But Chow Yun-fat is also from the countryside of an outlying island. When the three of them had a late-night snack and talked about finding this person, he even gave them some ideas.

Those who can skate this are either wealthy people who frequent beach clubs, or locals from rural surf areas on outlying islands. They learn to skate this so they can work as instructors at these clubs.

If you follow this line of thought, it will be easy to find a girl with half of her name; it's not difficult.

Even if she's not there, I can always wait for her.

Hong Kong's path to advancement in sports is limited to just a few clubs or a few sports federations.

Liang Jiahui immediately used his connections with his university classmates to ask around.

He instructed Wei Dong to take him immediately to find Li Yue'e and bring her to Yuezhou.

For no other reason than to let everyone see the mainland, to see the grandeur of our lord, and also to let the country girls see Chow Yun-fat.

Qin Yuye and Shen Cuiyue both had strange expressions when they heard that he was going to an outlying island to find a country girl to go waterskiing at the "Seaside Sports City". They thought, "He won't even take the two beauties at home, so where is he going to find another girl?"

The Hong Kong girl also joked, "You want to go? Why should anyone believe you? Hong Kong is a very closed-off place. Those people have never seen the world and won't listen to your nonsense."

Wei Dong was quite surprised, so he found a camera and filmed a video of Chow Yun-fat. Chow Yun-fat smiled at the camera and said, "Hello, Li Yue'e. I heard you're very good at water skiing. Are you interested in talking to me? I was supposed to come by myself, but I was filming, so I asked a friend to go."

This move immediately surprised Qin Yuye and Liang Jiahui. How brilliant!
It really doesn't have to be that complicated.
