Hong Kong Movie: Traveling through Hung Hing, you want me to do good deeds?

Ah Chan sighed and said, "Not so good. Ever since the stock market crash in Hong Kong Island, our nightclub business has plummeted. Now we only have about one or two million in revenue every day."

Shen Dong was not surprised by this and said, "I said that the nightclub business won't last long. When the time is right, I will just shut it down."

Brother Xiao Ma said: "That's a pity."

Shen Dong patted his shoulder and said, "This is not a legitimate business. After the return, the North will definitely not let us continue to operate. Remember, we have to make money standing up. Being sneaky is not my style."

Xiao Ma Ge's heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "Brother Dong, are you going to make a big adjustment?"

Shen Dong smiled and said, "Let's go to your office and talk."

The three of them came to Xiao Ma Ge's office, and Shen Dong sat in the boss's chair without hesitation.

Ah Chan poured Shen Dong a cup of tea and said, "Brother Dong, this is West Lake Longjing tea, please try it."

Shen Dong was stunned and asked, "Why do you have tea here?"

Ah Chan explained: "Some of the older wealthy people like to drink some tea, so I asked someone to buy some."

Shen Dong nodded and said, "You are very thoughtful. Ah Chan, I plan to convert all the bars, KTVs, nightclubs, and dance halls into hotels. What do you think?"

Ah Chan exclaimed: "Brother Dong, you are not kidding, right?"

Shen Dong said: "Of course I'm not joking."

Chapter 363 Future Expectations

Ah Chan thought for a moment and said, "Brother Dong, in addition to the Bi Hai Nightclub, you own at least 60 or 70 entertainment venues of all sizes. Since you prohibit those unclean things from entering, the profits are not very high, and some of them are even unable to make ends meet. If all of them are renovated, it would be a solution, but I don't recommend turning them all into hotels."

Shen Dong asked: "What do you mean?"

Ah Chan said, "Brother Dong, I think you can transform them according to their location and size. For example, nightclubs and KTVs in prosperous areas can be transformed into large hotels, some small and less prosperous places can be transformed into tea restaurants, and some places that are not suitable for hotels and tea restaurants can be transformed into chess and card rooms, etc. If you want to open a chain hotel or tea restaurant, you should consider it more seriously."

After hearing Ah Chan's words, Shen Dong clapped his hands and praised: "Ah Chan, you really impressed me. As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise, and I am far inferior to you in this aspect."

Ah Chan couldn't tell whether Shen Dong was praising her or not, so she quickly said, "Brother Dong, I was just saying it casually, you're flattering me. Compared to you, I'm far behind."

Shen Dong laughed and said, "Don't be nervous. I really admire you. What is the most important thing in business? Talent. It is the responsibility of all bosses to put the best talents in the most suitable positions. In terms of catering, you are much better than Xiao Ma, so I am going to let Xiao Ma withdraw and you will be the general manager of Tengfei Catering Company. From now on, we will officially enter the catering industry. As for tea restaurants and chess and card rooms, forget about it. If there are unsuitable places, rent them out. Wait a few years, and sell them when the price is right. Ah Chan, what do you think?"

Ah Chan looked at Xiao Ma Ge, and Xiao Ma Ge said, "Don't look at me, I don't want to do this anymore. Don't you know that?"

Shen Dong said: "Achan, you don't have to worry about Xiao Ma, he has more important things to do."

Ah Chan nodded and said, "If Tengfei Catering Company is handed over to me, I will definitely work hard and live up to your expectations."

Shen Dong said in a deep voice: "I will give you one year to build the Tengfei Hotel in Hong Kong Island. Just give me a plan on how much money is needed and how to decorate it. If you do well, I will invest 1 billion US dollars to buy land in prime locations in first- and second-tier cities in the inland to build the Tengfei Hotel. In ten years, I hope that the assets of Tengfei Catering Company will exceed 150 billion Hong Kong dollars."

Gudong!

When Achan and Xiao Ma Ge heard Shen Dong’s plans for the future, their eyes almost popped out of their heads in shock.

Hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars, how is this possible?

Shen Dong smiled and said, "Don't think this is an unachievable task. In ten years, the price of land in the inland areas will definitely increase several times. Our Tengfei Hotel alone can be sold for 150 billion Hong Kong dollars. In another ten years, the price will increase several times, and it will be no problem to break 500 billion."

Now all inland places are attracting investment, and land prices are extremely cheap. Shen Dong plans to occupy the most prosperous locations in major first- and second-tier cities to build the Tengfei Hotel, and strive to make it the most well-known hotel brand in the country.

Shen Dong calculated that with only one billion US dollars in capital and one billion US dollars in loans, he could build hotels in more than a hundred cities, large and small.

Ah Chan took a deep breath and said, "Brother Dong, I can't guarantee that I can do it well, but I will try my best."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "You don't have to rush. Let's finish the hotel in Hong Kong Island first. It will probably take another two to three years until the hotel inland is completed."

Ah Chan nodded and said, "I understand."

Brother Xiao Ma asked, "Brother Dong, what should I do?"

Shen Dong said: "I have set up a Tengfei Beverage Company in Pengcheng, you will be my general manager."

Brother Xiao Ma curled his lips and said, "A beverage company, it's not interesting."

Shen Dong frowned and said, "This beverage company has a wide range of products, including milk, mineral water, juice, cola, etc. My requirement is that in 20 years, the market value of Tengfei Beverage Company must exceed the trillion mark."

"puff"

When Xiao Ma heard this, he almost bit his tongue and said, "Brother Dong, a beverage company's market value exceeds one trillion? This is simply impossible."

Shen Dong said unhappily, "How do you know it's impossible? Let me tell you, as long as Tengfei's beverage products can occupy more than 30% of the inland market share, it will be absolutely no problem to break the trillion mark. The key is whether you have the ability to do so."

Xiao Ma pursed his lips and smiled bitterly: "Brother Dong, otherwise, you should find someone else. I may not be able to handle it."

Shen Dong said, "Have you thought about it? This is a position that countless people dream of. The funds used to build the factory alone can reach 3 billion US dollars."

Brother Xiao Ma said: "Family members know their own business. I am not cut out for this industry."

Shen Dong said, "Then you will be the CEO of Tengfei Bicycle Company. This company will not only produce bicycles, but also motorcycles, tricycles, tractors, and cars if there is a chance. Xiao Ma, don't you like cars the most? Are you interested?"

Xiao Ma's eyes lit up and he said, "I'm very interested. Brother Dong, as long as there is enough capital, I will definitely be able to make Tengfei Bicycle Company bigger and stronger."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "Then let me ask you, do you know what Xiaguo lacks the most in terms of motorcycles, tricycles, tractors, and cars?"

Xiao Ma said without hesitation: "The engine. This is the core component of any car."

Shen Dong said: "That's right. I want to build a factory that produces various types of engines, preferably one with technical patents."

The biggest weakness of Xiaguo’s automobile industry is its engine.

Even before he traveled through time, this problem had not been solved.

Nowadays, all major car manufacturers need to purchase foreign engines at high prices, which causes the prices of cars to reach the highest level.

Shen Dong didn't want to be the savior of Xia Guo's automobile industry, but as long as he could produce excellent engines, it would be hard for Tengfei Bicycle Company not to be popular.

Brother Xiao Ma smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Dong, only Europe, America and Northern Russia can produce engines. Where can we get them?"

Shen Dong's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he said, "The situation in Beisu is very bad. All major motorcycle and automobile companies have reached the point of being penniless. What I mean is to buy their engine technology at a high price and build an engine factory ourselves. As long as the price is low, this engine factory will be enough for us to make a lot of money."

Brother Xiao Ma said: "All countries attach great importance to engine technology. It may not be easy for us to buy it."

Shen Dong said: "Northern Su country focuses on military engine technology. If a civilian engine technology can bring them enough foreign exchange, they are likely to sell it. However, you should buy the best civilian engine technology patents, don't buy junk."

Chapter 364 Shen Dong's Courage

Brother Xiao Ma said, "It would be great if we could have some experts on engines come with me."

Shen Dong nodded and said, "Leave it to me. I'll go find Chu Xinghua from Pengcheng. His family is in Yandu and should be able to help."

Brother Ma said, "Okay."

Shen Dong patted Xiao Ma on the shoulder and said, "If you have the chance, you can buy a few motorcycle, tractor, tricycle, and car engine production lines, and then move them all to Pengcheng, and we'll make a big one. Xiao Ma, I can tell you clearly that this is a great thing that will benefit the country and the people. As long as you succeed, you may even be included in history textbooks."

Xiao Ma's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Is this true?"

Shen Dong smiled and said, "Of course it's true. I will provide you with funds later."

Brother Xiao Ma said: "I will definitely do my best."

That afternoon, Shen Dong brought Xiao Ma Ge to Pengcheng.

Ahua went to Bluebird to inspect the construction progress of the Tengfei Instant Noodle Factory, and Jimmy came to greet them.

In the car, Shen Dong asked, "Jimmy, what was the profit of Tengfei Clothing last month?"

Jimmy said: "It broke the record of 70 million Hong Kong dollars."

Shen Dong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why is it so high?"

Jimmy smiled and said, "First, the clothing factory in Zhengcheng has started production. With a large output, the profit will naturally rise. Second, your strategy of small profits but quick turnover and agent strategy have greatly increased the market share of our Tengfei clothing. It can be said that our Tengfei clothing not only occupies half of the market in major first- and second-tier cities, but has now begun to reach third- and fourth-tier cities and even rural areas. When the clothing production line in Zhengcheng is fully built, I am confident that the monthly profit will exceed 100 million Hong Kong dollars."

Brother Xiao Ma gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother, that's awesome."

Shen Dong asked: "What about fashion designers? How many are there now?"

Jimmy said, "More than 160 people. After they design the clothes, we will immediately apply for the property rights. Then, after market testing, we will determine the best-selling clothes and then increase production."

Shen Dong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good. Xiaguo is still in its development stage and everyone is generally poor. The strategy of small profits but quick turnover can benefit the country and bring us strong funds. However, when Xiaguo develops to a certain stage, this strategy can only be used for cities and rural areas outside the third-tier cities."

Jimmy said: "Brother Dong is right. Don't worry, I will train a group of high-end fashion designers for our Tengfei."

When we arrived at the construction sites of the bicycle factory and beverage factory, we saw more than 30 excavators working intensively.

Shen Dong asked: "Jimmy, how long will it take to deal with these two factories?"

Jimmy said, "The bicycle factory can be completed in four months at most if it's a little faster. The beverage factory has higher requirements and will take at least eight months."

Shen Dong nodded and said, "Let me tell you something. From now on, Xiao Ma will be the general manager of the bicycle factory."

Jimmy was stunned, and said, "Bicycle factory? I thought Xiao Ma would manage a beverage factory."

Xiao Ma said: "I like cars, not drinks."

Jimmy smiled and said, "Well, congratulations."

After seeing the construction of the bicycle factory and beverage factory, Shen Dong came to Pengcheng Municipal Government and met Chu Xinghua.

Chu Xinghua smiled and said, "My God of Wealth, why didn't you tell me that you were coming to Pengcheng? I could have come to pick you up."

Shen Dong said: "Mr. Chu, you are very busy, how dare I disturb you easily."

The two of them joked around a bit, and Chu Xinghua asked Shen Dong to sit down and personally made him a cup of tea.

Shen Dong could smell the aroma and said, "What kind of tea is this? It has such a strong aroma."

Chu Xinghua said: "I got the big red envelope from the old man when I went back to Yandu last week. It was you. If it was someone else, I would not make this kind of good tea for him."

Shen Dong raised his eyebrows and said, "You can even get this kind of tea. It seems that your Chu family is very powerful in Yan."

Chu Xinghua said with a half-smile: "Do you dare to say that you haven't investigated the details of our Chu family?"

Shen Dong said: "I swear, I really didn't investigate you. But you can become the boss of Pengcheng at the age of 36. It is absolutely impossible without a powerful family."

Chu Xinghua said: "Okay, I misunderstood you. My grandfather's name is Chu Dingshan."

Shen Dong exclaimed: "No wonder you are so awesome, it turns out you are Mr. Chu's grandson."

Chu Dingshan can be ranked among the top five in the country. Although he is retired now, he has countless disciples and former officials, and he has a close relationship with the old man at the top. He is definitely a super figure who can shake the entire Xia country with just a stomp of his feet.

Chu Xinghua said unhappily, "I can't get to where I am today just because of my family, okay?"

Shen Dong smiled and said, "I understand. Whether you, the second generation of Yandu, can go far depends on your own talents and abilities. The family is just your propeller. If you don't have the ability, it will be useless even if there are rockets behind you."

Chu Xinghua nodded and said, "You really hit the point."

Shen Dong said: "Let's not talk about this. Old Chu, I came here to ask you to introduce me to some experts in the field of engines."

Chu Xinghua was stunned and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Shen Dong said: "My Tengfei Bicycle Factory does not only produce simple means of transportation such as bicycles. If appropriate, I would also like to produce motorcycles, tricycles, tractors and even cars. And these vehicles need engines. I am thinking of setting up an engine production line. On the one hand, it can meet my own production, and on the other hand, it can meet the needs of the Xiaguo market."

Chu Xinghua's eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice: "Our country started too late in the engine industry, and basically all the engines we use are from abroad. If you can develop a reliable domestic engine, it will be a great merit. The question is how do you plan to do it?"

Shen Dong walked to the world map, pointed at Northern Soviet Union, and said, "The Russians' economy is in big trouble. It might be ruined in three years. Their engine technology is on par with Europe and the United States, and they have countless experts. I want to buy the technical patents and hire these experts to do research and development in my company at a high price. Maybe, in ten years, my bicycle company will be at the top of the world's bicycle, motorcycle, and automobile industries."

Chu Xinghua was extremely shocked by Shen Dong's ambition and asked, "How much money are you going to invest?"

Shen Dong shrugged and said with a smile: "If everything goes well, it will be at least 1 billion US dollars. Everyone knows that research and development costs money. If it doesn't go well, then I will just make my bicycles and motorcycles, forget about cars."

Chu Xinghua said: "If it really works out, you will have the land and policies you want, and our Pengcheng government will do its best to support you."

Shen Dong raised his eyebrows and said, "Old Chu, you are being a little too self-indulgent. I didn't say that I must build a factory in your Pengcheng."

Chapter 365 Thor Takes Action

Chu Xinghua knew he was joking, and said unhappily, "I even made you some special tea, how can you go anywhere else?"

Shen Dong sighed, "Now I finally understand what it means to be unfaithful to others and to be soft-hearted. Lao Chu, my people will go to Yandu in two weeks. Please help me find a group of engine experts. I won't let them go in vain. Just give them a consulting fee of 10,000 yuan each."

Chu Xinghua nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take care of it. Adong, your business is getting bigger and bigger now. Have you ever thought about doing something for the country?"

Shen Dong rolled his eyes and said, "I will pay 500 million in taxes to the country this year. Doesn't this count as a contribution?"

Chu Xinghua retorted: "You make more money from the people of Xia. I'm not saying anything bad about you, but look at Mr. Huo and then look at you. You're both wealthy, so why is there such a big gap?"

Shen Dong was speechless and said, "The Huo family has been developing for many years, and I have only been developing for a few years. How can we be compared?"

Chu Xinghua said: "That's true. Adong, you are a businessman with patriotic feelings. When you become rich, don't forget Xiaguo."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "I won't forget it. I plan to set up a charity education foundation in the inland. I will invest 200 million yuan every year to build Hope Primary Schools in poor areas across the country. In a year, at least 400 to 500 schools can be built. What do you think?"

Chu Xinghua said happily: "That's great. I can ask the people from the Education Department to help. They are very familiar with the situation in each region."

Shen Dong said: "Then it's settled."
