My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 806 I Only Have One Boat
For Rang Weidong, he now has billions of yuan in cash flow.

It would be incredibly foolish to think that you can do whatever you want.

"In my opinion, this is similar to when I was selling cured meat and accumulated a few hundred or a few thousand yuan. Now the projects have increased a hundred or a thousand times. If we make a wrong decision, we might lose our advantage. So this is also training our ability to do projects."

Ignoring the strands of hair ruffled by the sea breeze, Qin Yuye held her husband's hand and looked up at him with genuine reverence in her eyes.

Standing on the other side, Chi Shiming did not diminish his intimacy with his new wife despite his father-in-law's collapse.

They also held hands and thought together: "Yes, there's definitely no problem with our projects in mainland China. This is to show everyone in Hong Kong that we have the ability to make a world-shaking difference!"

The wind was quite strong, so the two ladies were sheltered in the middle.

Jenny glanced at her and said, "Barbara, you should have chosen an orange bag; it would have made you look more sophisticated."

She often interacts with artists in mainland China, and she can now speak some Mandarin with a heavy accent.

Wei Dong was stunned, glanced back at his wife, and burst into laughter.

Damn it, we're figuring out how to revitalize this area, and all you're thinking about is fashion and style?

When I saw your second brother make trouble at the wedding, and your father collapsed but you remained calm, I thought you were just pretending to be weak while actually being strong.

It really was a pig!

Anyway, when Qin Yuye looked at him, he seemed to have the same feeling, and to make matters worse, the two of them covered their mouths and laughed.

It was still beautiful; four young men and women stood on a cliff, the sea breeze blowing.

Wei Dong was dressed as usual in a sports T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers, but at least he styled his hair a bit for the wedding, looking neat and fit.

Chi Shih-ming was impeccably dressed in a Hong Kong-style suit and tie, while his wife, a typical wealthy and beautiful woman, wore a pink dress and carried a white Hermes bag; they were quite a well-matched and wealthy couple.

Qin Yuye's natural beauty and temperament are at their best when she pairs a light summer trench coat with a deep V-neck dress underneath.

A side-view shot shows the four of them together, giving off an idol drama vibe.

So Wei Dong laughed and said his feelings: "I can't think of any other use for this place besides filming."

Chi Shih-ming was able to follow his train of thought: "The Shaw Brothers Studio is on the other side of the mountain. It's known as the world's largest privately owned film studio and it's been very popular for the last twenty or thirty years."

Qin Yuye was cut off as soon as he opened his mouth: "I was thinking of learning from Universal Studios Hollywood in Los Angeles and building a theme park that recreates movie scenes. But with Shaw Brothers' masterpieces as our precedent, there's no point in us doing it again."

Wei Dong praised, "That's right. Don't think that just because we have some funds, we can do whatever we want. It's pointless to spend a lot of money here. Think about it again. The advantage of this place is that it's remote and quiet with decent scenery. The disadvantage is that it's remote and inconvenient. It doesn't necessarily have to be about making a lot of money. It's okay to spend a little money to gain a lot of fame."

Qin Yuye chuckled, "Back then, you thought our yacht club could host beauty pageants, but now they've taken all the yachts away, leaving only accommodation for citizens visiting the island. I was wondering when we'd develop our own area. Lawson leased the operating rights for thirty years, and almost half of that has passed."

Chi Shiming quickly explained, "We bought all of these. This area, this side, this side, it's all here. They're cheap. If we want to expand our shopping area, it won't be a problem."

Wei Dong thoroughly enjoyed this feeling of contemplation: "What's the point of having a huge area if there's no one here? Think again!"

Chi Shiming thanked his wife in Jiangzhou dialect, saying, "If it weren't for you, sir, providing that wedding room, we would have had to live here after our wedding. Good heavens, we would have been completely isolated from the world!"

Wei Dong could only think about the struggle: "This is probably a warning shot from her second brother, otherwise he would have been able to find a place to stay in the city."

Qin Yuye understood: "That's why I warned you a long time ago that her second brother is no pushover."

Wei Dong couldn't very well advise the young couple to fawn over Uncle De and get a bigger share of the inheritance. He simply patted his brother on the shoulder and said, "It's alright, it's alright, as long as things are going well in mainland China."

Surprisingly, Jenny seemed to understand a bit, and then said, "Then I'll use this house as an art gallery. I've acquired so many paintings and artworks..."

Chi Shiming frowned: "Such a remote gallery? Only those eccentric painters would travel this far..."

He was still a little disgusted by those artists who were always chasing after rich and beautiful women, all of whom were trying to make a move on his wife.

But as she turned her head abruptly, her eyes met those of Wei Dong, who was also looking over with surprise.

"Painter Village!"

Wei Dong immediately presented this option: "It's absolutely doable!"

He had come across this whimsical artistic atmosphere in short videos; those dirty-looking painters seemed to particularly enjoy this remote, secluded feeling, especially with such beautiful scenery.

Sure enough, once this thread was pulled out, even Jenny was able to follow up with the rest: "Invite a few famous painters from the mainland to stay here, and then build some studios around here, renting them out for free or cheaply, and we can gradually create an atmosphere!"

She interacts with many artists and is certainly aware of the immense allure of it.

There is a large backlog of works by artists in mainland China. Without a market, there is no income, resulting in a large number of unfinished works.

She collected thousands of paintings and sculptures of various kinds throughout the year.

Wei Dong gestured to her: "It should be that your building is the most central and beautiful exhibition hall, while the others are scattered more discreetly and quietly... like the townhouse we have on Mount Nicholson Road?"

Located by the sea, all building materials can be transported here by cargo ship. Therefore, the investment and construction costs are extremely low.

Chi Shiming, having become familiar with the business through his wife's experience, said: "That's right! We essentially support a large number of artists here at low cost, and then assist them in sending their works to exhibitions and auctions. Whoever becomes popular or famous becomes part of our business and reputation."

Qin Yuye chuckled: "Who becomes famous and popular is up to us. We can send a painting to Steve or Chrysler and ask them to hang it in the lobby of the Wanmade Luxury Hotel. We can tell you for free that the painting was bought for a million at the Bund Hotel in Shanghai. With their fame and status, they can sell it for hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars."

Wei Dong gasped in surprise. Artworks—this is even faster than money laundering through movies!

I had vaguely heard about it before when watching videos online, but I never expected it to appear right next to me.

However, his "experience" in this area is indeed extensive: "First, we build a low-key artists' village around this area, then we develop the village on the shore into an art street. Some people like to live in the city, so we can use the city's radio and television stations to promote an artistic atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and encourage young people to open shops facing the sea, where spring is warm and flowers bloom..."

His wife glanced at him and said, "That last sentence is very poetic. Although the sea isn't rare in Hong Kong, it seems to be quite attractive."

In fact, Wei Dong had never done real estate planning.

This is already a commercial real estate plan that combines an artistic framework with a small-town atmosphere.

Moreover, it's an idea that can actually bring together a group of high-level painters as a foundation, without seeking much economic profit.

The purpose is to enhance the "artistic reputation" of this place in the long run.

Jenny was unusually enthusiastic in the discussion and came up with a lot of ideas.

Just as the discussion was in full swing, Qin Yuye suggested indirectly, "It would be more convenient to get to our house from here by yacht. We should buy one..."

Her mobile phone rang.

Shen Cuiyue said, "The 17K boss wants to see A Dong."

He gestured for Wei Dong to walk away with the heavy phone, saying, "Then let's meet."

Shen Cuiyue said seriously, "He sent word that you need to go to Makan to see him. I'll go with you."

Wei Dong was a little surprised: "He said he wanted me to go, so I went? That's his territory. If I go there, won't I become a fat sheep to be slaughtered? I won't go. Let him come and see me if he dares."

Shen Cuiyue relaxed a little: "Okay, then I'll get back to them."

Wei Dong was to hand over the responsibilities of the underworld to Shen Laosan, but not to let her take risks: "You can make it clear to Hesheng that the businesses such as the sports city and the film company will be very profitable for Hesheng in the future. If Lao Du does not step in to protect our cooperative businesses at this time, not only will we lose these benefits, but we will also lose our status in the underworld."

Shen Cuiyue agreed.

Even after hanging up the phone, Qin Yuye was still nervous: "The club is looking for us?"

To put Wei Dong at ease: "You can't avoid these things in Hong Kong. You go back to Shanghai first, I'll stay here and deal with them."

He walked back and gave instructions before leaving: "I think there's no problem with handling the Clearwater Bay matter this way. After it's started, shouldn't Amin go back to Shanghai to oversee the project?"

Jenny said sweetly, "We're going to Europe for our honeymoon..."

Good heavens, your dad had a stroke and is in the hospital. Is this all to keep things running as usual and stabilize the stock price and assets?

Wei Dong sometimes really finds it hard to understand the thinking of these rich kids.

But his real purpose was to get his people out of port now and avoid the situation a little: "Alright, alright, Ah Ming, just keep an eye on the progress of the Shanghai project, and keep a record of things for the White Building side. Have a happy honeymoon!"

Qin Yuye forced a smile and said goodbye with great acting skills, but his expression changed as he got into the car: "I'm going to stay with you! Even Third Sister can stay with you!"

Wei Dong was both amused and exasperated: "What time is it? Besides, I don't even care about this trash. Everyone, let's go. She's going to Pengzhen..."

When they returned, Shen Cuiyue defied orders: "I'll stay here with you even if it means going through fire and water!"

Wei Dong was urged to be as agitated as possible: "Are you disobedient? If there's any real danger, I'll have to take care of you... Hurry up and leave. These scumbags only know how to use the people around them as bargaining chips. Hmm, Kemp and the others should leave too... Let's go to Feilubin for an exhibition match."

Overall, he still believes that Hong Kong is currently a society governed by the rule of law, not as turbulent as portrayed in Hong Kong movies, and that gangs and triads are not so unscrupulous.

Therefore, reduce the number of leverage you have that can be threatened, and first see what the other party is up to.

Du Hongyi patted his chest and said he would handle the problem: "Ma Zhaohui has a criminal record here, so he can't come at all. I will talk to him."

Wei Dong thought to himself, "Aren't you guys just putting me on the chopping block to discuss how to divide the meat?"

Suddenly, an idea struck him: "We still need to meet, how about we find a place that everyone feels is safe to meet?"

Du Hongyi was still pondering: "Is everything safe? Should we find a place in the middle, like Lantau Island, to hide our people?"

Wei Dong laughed: "Let's go to the high seas, I'll provide a ship."

That's how it's portrayed in gambling movies.
