My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 843 The Heavenly Eye certainly has a field of vision

Qin Zhiming wouldn't feel uncomfortable about his brother-in-law bringing his wife and children.

He even gave both kids a gold lock in a very respectable way: "It was made by a time-honored craftsman in Shanghai. I really like this place and I'll be living in Shanghai for the rest of my life."

Wei Dong encouraged him to buy a villa in the international community and open a shop: "I don't need to explain the reasoning. You know that if you buy now, you will definitely make a lot of money in the future. The key is to have someone knowledgeable to create an atmosphere and strive to make a big splash when the project is launched at the end of the year."

Qin Zhiming was a well-known business genius in Hong Kong in the 1960s and 70s: "No problem, I'll help you take care of it. Opening this Colorful KTV is just a preliminary test. Moreover, I've observed that the proportion of Japanese businessmen in the electronics industrial park is relatively high, so your international community's commercial street should have a Japanese style."

Wei Dong was a little worried that this guy might end up like You Qili, in a situation that was difficult to resolve: "It's Japanese style, won't your actions here incite nationalist sentiments..."

I can somewhat understand the apprehension those lords feel when faced with highly talented and unpredictable subordinates.

Just because you're good at doing things doesn't necessarily mean you meet the overall strategic requirements.

Qin Zhiming was utterly baffled: "What emotions? I think they like it very much. There are already signs that the Japanese have begun to settle here. The opening up of this place is what they like most."

If Wei Dong finds being a lord too difficult and also worries that this might turn into a mass migration of immigrants, then he would be committing a grave sin.

At this moment, the two girls were already standing on the stage, swaying back and forth to warm up. Qin Zhiming, who had run a film company and invented the HK music video, spotted them immediately and said, "Hey, these two girls have some unique moves."

Of course, you have to buy a cheongsam when you come to Shanghai. It is said that it was Qin Yuye's idea to put a lot of cheongsam dresses on the front half of his own shopping mall on the first floor, which was mostly computers and electronics, and the back half of clothing.

It sold only so-so at the Jiangzhou Department Store, but sold extremely well at the Bund.

The two sisters happily changed into the long dresses downstairs, which resembled the robes from their hometown.

Lamu is light green, and Zhuoma is pink; both are very youthful and have their long hair styled in an updo.

So when you jump, it's a bit more authentic.

Wei Dong then explained to Feng Chu, "It's very likely that they used to work in the Gaoyuan family, where they not only did chores and took care of children, but also performed some songs and dances, so they probably have some traditional training."

The jazz band by the stage wasn't playing "Shanghai Beach," but rather a tune completely devoid of Western influence, which caused many people in the restaurant to turn their heads away.

Especially the locals in Shanghai.

Because Droma's opening statement was: "I won't offer barley wine, I won't make butter tea, and I won't offer a hada (ceremonial scarf)..."

Sing a song from the bottom of my heart, dedicated to my beloved Jinzhuma…

This popular revolutionary song, which has been a staple of the past two decades, has also been frequently featured in various cultural performances across mainland China.

In an era of limited entertainment, these were well-known folk songs.

The band must be very familiar to you.

Everyone is very familiar with it, and some might even find it a bit irritating.

Because it carries the heavy marks of those years.

But when you actually hear the highland girls sing, especially their typical folk songs with their drawn-out melodies, you'll understand.

Only then can you feel the rich ethnic atmosphere and their emotional expressions.

You'll be immediately drawn to it.

It's a simple left-right arm swing, completely unlike the alluring and suggestive style of later online short video anchors; it's rustic and genuine.

Qin Zhiming was full of praise: "Listen! This is the younger sister, right? She's in charge of the lead and high notes, while the older sister on the higher notes is in harmony and low notes. The effect becomes rich and natural. Look, look! Listen to how they even complement each other..."

Indeed, the younger sister's singing voice is as clear and melodious as a lark's, while the older sister hums along to create atmosphere, making the performance much richer than a solo performance.

You can tell from their voices that they probably received some instruction from someone when they were young. Maybe these two do this all the time, switching between singing a few lines and taking turns very skillfully.

Thus, the singing intertwined with lightness and lingering melody.

That sounds quite unique.

That's fine, you could just hire two girls from a performing arts troupe who can sing.

The two sisters focused solely on their own side, wholeheartedly demonstrating the dance moves to Wei Dong, their eyes brimming with genuine affection.

That makes it very difficult to act.

Even masters like Wang Zhiwen and Liang Jiahui, with their exceptional talent, are attempting to imitate and portray various emotional nuances.

But the genuine emotions displayed before them were obvious to everyone.

The older sister's eyes were a little red from smiling, while the younger sister sang at the top of her lungs: "Thank you, big brother, for helping us unlock the chain..."

Wei Dong smiled and happily led the applause.

Everyone applauded enthusiastically, regardless of whether they understood what was being said.

After one song ended, there were calls for an encore. The girls had already come down from the stage, imitating Wu Shengyun, raising their hands above their foreheads: "Thank you, big brother, we will definitely work hard."

Wei Dong gestured for his wife to get up and hug him: "You are the children of the family, and also Xiao Die and Xiao Cong's older sisters. I support you if you want to study and get married, and I also support you if you want to do things at home. Just like in your song, you are your own masters. I will support you in whatever way you want to live your life in the most meaningful way."

Lamu immediately picked up her mentally challenged younger brother silently, and Zhuoma spoke for her, saying, "We'll stay at home for the rest of our lives."

Actually, they were the younger sisters that Qin Yuye brought back from the plateau, and now they have become Dong Lao Er's main force.

Just as Wei Dong was about to agree, the damned capitalist had an idea: "You sing so well, record an album, put on ethnic costumes and shoot a music video, it's guaranteed to sell well in Hong Kong!"

Wei Dong originally wanted to say that his family didn't care about the small amount of money from selling records and music videos.

The little girl still couldn't hide the emotions in her eyes; her excitement at wanting to do something for her family was very obvious.

Moreover, Dong Xueqing's eyes were full of curiosity and amusement.

So I asked for their opinion: "Do you want to? There's no danger, we can just sing and dance and record it."

Zhuoma glanced at her sister and replied, "As long as our eldest brother thinks it's okay, we want to do more for the family."

Wei Dong then said, "If you can make money, it's your own income. Hey, do you usually give me pocket money?"

Dong Xueqing chuckled: "They gave it to us, and it's already a mess..."

It turns out that Qin Yuye was the one who initially led them, and they were paid HK$1,000 per month according to HK standards!
Later, Shen Cuiyue took over, and just like her two younger brothers, why would a child take so much money, fifty yuan?

It was only after helping Dong Xueqing take care of her child that I returned to a normal level in mainland China, earning three to five hundred yuan.

They live and eat at home, so they have quite a bit of money in their pockets.

Hearing this, he quickly waved his hand: "I give all my earnings to my family..."

Wei Dong wouldn't tolerate such exploitation of children: "Haha, you deserve what you've done. If you're going to sing, sing well. List out the songs you know, more than ten of them."

The two girls had just started racking their brains to put together a song.

Dong Xueqing immediately took the initiative to participate in the selection process. Even though she herself still looked like a young girl, she was already a mother.

Wei Dong caught a glimpse of this, reached out and took his children from his brother-in-law to discuss: "I'm giving some of the film company's shares to Brother Fa and the others, not for the sake of making a lot of money at the box office, but to gain some influence through the film."

Qin Zhiming fiddled with the fork in his hand: "It's said in the underworld that you still gave Ma Zhaohui money... so the film company must be yours. I'm tired of that suffocating life in Hong Kong."

Wei Dong laughed: "Everyone else longs for the free life in Hong Kong."

Qin Zhiming sneered: "Freedom is only for the super-rich and big shots. Everyone else is just a beast of burden. I no longer have the courage to face them. So when I heard that you dared to confront Ma Zhaohui, I found it quite unbelievable. Now you want to pull Chow Yun-fat into becoming a movie mogul. Do you know how risky that is? He'll be forced to make movies with a gun pointed at his head!"

With a gun at his waist, Rang Weidong said slowly, "Because I have this huge country behind me. Although the country has not authorized me to do anything, I have no selfish thoughts in this matter. I just want to use my own strength to push Hong Kong in a good direction, including Ma Kan."

His brother-in-law looked him over in surprise: "You have such big thoughts?"

Wei Dong was still not so wary of him: "To put it simply, everyone has a responsibility for the rise and fall of the nation. You and I both have a responsibility to create a better Hong Kong, especially since there will be no shortage of ups and downs and struggles in the next ten years. I am a little excited to be able to participate in it."

Qin Zhiming looked at Rang Weidong and gave a wry smile: "Although I have been growing, working and making my way in Hong Kong, trying to realize my dreams, I have never dared to hope that I have any merit or ability to influence or shape Hong Kong. It would be good enough if I could have a place in it. Mainland boy... are you really born with such ambition?"

The old security guard shook his head and said in a low voice, "To be realistic, if I don't fight my way up to a certain level of prestige and status in the next ten years, do you think my assets in mainland China are safe?"

Qin Zhiming was utterly shocked: "This... is this what you call a strategic vision? I consider myself to have a global perspective, but I've never thought this far ahead."

Wei Dong thought to himself, "If you had the ability to see the future, of course you would be able to 'see so far.'"

"Hong Kong's return to China has absolute priority. All efforts made for a stable return are worthwhile. So, I may spend more time in Hong Kong, the mainland, and especially Shanghai in the next year or two. Please take good care of me, brother-in-law."

Qin Zhiming, of course, did not understand that the attitude towards those who had become rich first might change again in the next few years.

Wei Dong didn't feel that having Hong Kong citizenship was any great protection, and he was even less willing to use it to fight against or protect himself in the end.

So you could say I've laid my cards on the table.

They could only stay at Qin Yuye's old Western-style house for the night.

Because all three hotels Wei Dong opened in Shanghai—a budget hotel, a business hotel, and the Hongguang Hostel—were fully booked!
The luxury hotel is building its guest room department from scratch, and the interior renovation of the existing 12,000-square-meter five-story old building is being carried out simultaneously.

It's been almost a year!

The foundation for the guest room building behind it has already been laid and the frame has been erected. What Wei Dong is thinking about is a 12,000-square-meter building, even larger than Building No. 5. As the largest shareholder, can't my family live here?

No, the entire old building is now a construction site.

It is said that this renovation will take two and a half years to complete and open together with the guest room building behind it.

This is incredibly luxurious.
