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

Shen Dong put down his chopsticks and said, "Mr. He, thank you for the compliment. My reputation is just an empty title. The key is that my reputation is not very good."

"Ha ha ha ha"

Everyone laughed.

General He smiled and said, "Your reputation in the Eagle Sauce government is indeed not very good, but in our Xia government, everyone is very grateful for what you have done for the inland. And Ms. Li's charity foundation has helped thousands of children change their fate in just three months. You can be regarded as a role model for women of the times."

"Mr. Shen, Ms. Li, I would like to offer a toast to you two. I wish you a long and happy marriage and all the best."

Shen Dong and Li Xinxin raised their glasses, clinked them with Consul General He, and drank the wine in the glasses in one gulp.

The entire banquet lasted for more than an hour, and Consul He's attitude towards Huo Yingdong and Shen Dong was obviously much more friendly than that towards other wealthy people.

After the banquet, Consul He brought everyone to the Purple Pavilion and met the old man.

The old man focused on explaining the policies and guidelines that the mainland government will adopt towards Hong Kong Island in the future, and welcomed the investment of Hong Kong Island's wealthy people in the mainland.

"Mr. Huo, Sir Li, I am really happy for you after hearing that you two have joined forces with dozens of influential super-rich people in Hong Kong to establish the Xiaguo Chamber of Commerce. Although Hong Kong has developed well in the past few decades, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the economy and finance there are actually under the control of those foreign financial groups. Now that you can unite and form an alliance, it is of epoch-making significance to break the economic monopoly of foreign financial groups on Hong Kong."

Huo Yingdong smiled and said, "We established the Chamber of Commerce at a dinner party hosted by Xia Hua Society. Without the strong support and help of our government, this Chamber of Commerce would not have been established."

The old man waved his hand and said, "Hong Kong Island's economy still needs the joint efforts of you local businessmen. The inland areas can't play a big role."

Li Chaoren said, "Old man, to be honest, we have some funds, the only problem is the investment direction. Do you have any good suggestions?"

The old man said, "There is a saying in the Xia country, if you want to get rich, build roads first. The expressway is a very good project. With the development of the inland economy, it will definitely have extremely high returns in the future."

After these words were spoken, all the wealthy people fell silent.

The investment in highways is too high and the time to recover the cost is too long, so they are not the first choice of investment for the wealthy.

As if sensing a bit of a lull in the atmosphere, the old man looked at Shen Dong and said with a smile, "Xiao Shen, what do you think?"

Shen Dong asked in return: "Will the government release the right to invest in highways?"

The old man nodded and said, "Of course."

Shen Dong said without hesitation: "Guangcheng and Pengcheng are developing very well, and the traffic volume is dense. If the government agrees, I can fund the construction of a highway between the two cities."

In the previous life, the expressway between Guangcheng and Pengcheng was built six years later.

At its peak, the revenue could reach 35 million per day.

What is this concept?

In other words, it only takes one year to make back the cost.

Therefore, Guangpeng Expressway is also the most profitable highway in the entire Xiaguo Expressway, without a doubt.

Shen Dong had originally forgotten about this matter, but the old man's advice reminded him.

The old man's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he laughed and said, "Your vision is as accurate as ever."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "Grandpa, do you agree?"

The old man thought for a moment and said, "I agree in principle. You can discuss the specific construction plan with the governments of Pengcheng and Guangcheng. However, I want to remind you that you have to put up real money to build this investment highway. You are absolutely not allowed to borrow money from the bank."

Shen Dong said: "A highway of about 120 kilometers would cost between 8 billion Hong Kong dollars and 9 billion Hong Kong dollars. I can take out all the money. However, I have two conditions."

The old man asked, "What are the conditions?"

Shen Dong said: "The first is the tax issue. The government cannot collect taxes from me before I recover my costs. The second is the loan issue. After this highway is officially completed and opened to traffic, the government cannot stop me from taking out a mortgage loan from the bank."

The old man waved his hand and said, "No problem."

Shen Dong said: "That's settled. When I return from Yandu, I will immediately set up a Tengfei Highway Group to be responsible for this project."

Huo Yingdong smiled and said, "Old man, Mr. Shen, your project seems to have a very good prospect. Do you mind if I take a share of the pie?"

Without even thinking, Shen Dong said, "I mind it very much. Mr. Huo, it's best for a chicken to have only one owner. If you like, you can invest in building other highways."

Huo Yingdong said: "Mr. Shen, you have always been generous, why are you so petty now?"

Shen Dong said, "If I give you this good business, I will be no different from an idiot. You should know that being petty and being an idiot are two different concepts. I would rather be called stingy than an idiot."

"Ha ha ha ha"

Everyone laughed.

After the meeting, the old man left Huo Yingdong alone.

Guo Shengli smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, have you ever met the old man before?"

Shen Dong nodded and said, "I have. The 100 billion investment was agreed upon by the old man and me."

Chapter 608: Seeing the Old Man Again

Guo Shengli said: "Then why didn't the old man ask you to stay and chat?"

Shen Dong smiled and said, "Don't talk. This old man is very talkative. If I talk to him for an hour, I might lose 100 million or 200 million."

Li Chaoren said, "Mr. Shen, do you really want to build a highway? As far as I know, although the traffic volume in Guangcheng and Pengcheng is very high, it will probably take at least 30 years to recover the cost and operating expenses."

Shen Dong said, "Sir Li, we have to look at things from a development perspective. It will take at least two years to build this highway. During these two years, if both places develop very rapidly and the traffic volume increases tenfold, then can the thirty years be shortened to three years?"

Li Chaoren said: "How is this possible?"

Shen Dong said: "You really should go to Pengcheng and Guangcheng to see for yourself. Especially the former, which can be described as changing with each passing day. I have a feeling that within 20 years, the economic scale of Pengcheng is likely to surpass that of Hong Kong Island."

Li Chaoren was shocked and exclaimed, "You are kidding, right?"

Others were also extremely shocked.

Shen Dong smiled and said, "It took a small fishing village more than ten years to develop into a second-tier city. This is a miracle in itself. Who can guarantee that Pengcheng will not become a first-tier city in the next ten years? Who can guarantee that this first-tier city will not grow into a super first-tier city in another ten years? Ladies and gentlemen, miracles are created by people, and our Xia country has the potential and ability to do so."

Instead of returning to Diaotai Hotel, Shen Dong accompanied Li Xinxin to the Tengfei Charity Foundation.

Li Xinxin inquired in detail about the operation of the foundation and affirmed the members' work enthusiasm and ability.

That night, Li Xinxin treated all members to a meal.

The next day, just after breakfast, Shen Dong was invited by the old man.

Still the same route, still the same small courtyard, Shen Dong and the old man sat together again.

Liu Hui made a cup of black tea for the two of them and then stepped aside.

Shen Dong said: "Old man, last time I helped the government earn billions of dollars, shouldn't you reward me well?"

Liu Hui next to him glanced at him and thought to himself: This guy is still so brave.

The old man liked nothing more than free and unfettered chatting. Hearing this, he said, "What do you want? As long as I have it, I will definitely give it to you."

Shen Dong held up two fingers and said, "Two things. One is Wuyi Mountain black tea, and the other is the internal supply wine."

The old man laughed and said, "No problem. I'll give you half a pound of black tea and ten boxes of wine."

Shen Dong was stunned and asked suspiciously: "You are so easy to talk to, don't you have any conspiracy?"

The old man said unhappily, "Look at you. If I didn't give you cigarettes and alcohol, you would definitely say I was stingy. Now that I give you, you suspect I have some bad intentions. Obviously, there is something wrong with your mentality."

Shen Dong touched his nose and said, "Well, maybe I have too much money and I am a little suspicious."

"puff"

The old man was immediately amused and said, "You are really frank. However, I do have an important question to ask you."

Shen Dong asked: "What's the matter?"

The old man said solemnly, "When you left last time, you predicted that the North Soviet Union would disintegrate within five years. It has been almost a year, do you still think so?"

Shen Dong shook his head and said, "I have changed my mind. The disintegration of the Northern Soviet Union is likely to happen within two years. Anyway, I have prepared the funds and plan to take advantage of their economic problems and follow the Wall Street consortium to make a big profit."

The old man was silent for a moment, then said, "I sent people to investigate the situation in Northern Su Country, and it is much more serious than I originally thought. Judging from the current situation, your prediction is likely to come true."

Shen Dong said: "Old man, I won't hide it from you. Next, I will gradually start injecting funds and shorting the ruble."

The old man asked, "How much do you want to invest?"

Shen Dong said without hesitation: "Tentatively set at 30 billion US dollars, plus five times leverage, and a target rate of return of 50%."

After the disintegration of the Northern Soviet Union in the previous life, the ruble almost became a piece of waste paper, and the exchange rate against the US dollar plummeted by 46 times, a drop equivalent to 100%.

Shen Dong set the rate of return at 50%, mainly for insurance purposes.

Because in the later period, no one dared to continue to buy the ruble at the exchange rate.

By then, if it falls into my hands, then everything will be over.

The old man exclaimed, "One hundred and fifty billion dollars? You are so generous."

Shen Dong took a sip of tea and said, "Northern Su has developed wealth for decades. Not to mention 150 billion, even 1.5 trillion US dollars can be easily digested. Old man, I think our inland government can also get involved."

The old man nodded and said, "I'll decide based on the situation. Xiao Shen, I heard that your Tenglong mercenaries can buy weapons and equipment from the Northern Su Kingdom, right?"

Shen Dong said: "That's right. Some time ago, the Tenglong Mercenaries purchased twenty armed helicopters and three hundred missiles from them. It is estimated that they will arrive in a week."

The old man asked, "Can you buy a fighter jet?"

"what?"

Shen Dong said in surprise: "Grandpa, do you want me to help the country buy fighter jets from the Northern Soviet Union?"

The old man sighed and said, "Almost all fighter jets in the countries around us are third-generation aircraft, but our country only has second-generation aircraft. If we want to make up for this shortcoming, the best way is to buy third-generation aircraft."

Shen Dong said: "Then why don't you go directly to Beisu to order?"

The old man said, "We don't have time. Their production capacity is not good. It will take at least five years to get the plane. We can't wait."

Shen Dong frowned and said, "Even if I can buy them, I can only buy two or three at most, which will not help at all."

The old man smiled and said, "Don't underestimate our military industry. As long as we get the finished product, within a year, our military industry personnel can reverse engineer their technology and develop their own fighter jets. Of course, if you can get a destroyer or a bomber, that would be even better."

Shen Dong said: "I can help ask. The current price of the Su-27 is about million US dollars. If you want to buy it as a whole, the price is raised to million US dollars, and the Su military should be able to accept it. However, they are not fools, and they will definitely guess that I am buying it for Xia. I will sign a contract with them. As long as the Su country exists, I will not hand over these fighters to Xia. If the Su country no longer exists, then this clause will be automatically lifted."

Chapter 609 Shen Dong's Big Picture

The old man gave a thumbs up and said, "You are really smart."

Shen Dong said: "If it's done, maybe I can even buy bombers, destroyers, and submarines."

The old man said solemnly: "Xiao Shen, these military equipment are all important national equipment. As long as it does not exceed 50% of the market price, you can buy as much as you want. Even if we have to exchange it for land, we guarantee that you will not suffer any loss."

Shen Dong said: "I'll remember your words. Don't worry, I will never raise the price. At most, I will ask you to reimburse me for my travel expenses, living expenses, and the expenses of bribing those senior officers in Beisu."

The old man laughed and said, "You are really honest. Xiao Shen, I heard that you are in secret negotiations with more than ten technology companies in Japan. It seems that you are planning to enter the technology industry, right?"

Shen Dong said: "The scope of the technology industry is too broad. I only plan to focus on four areas: communications, semiconductors, networks, and electronics."

The old man said, "These four parts basically represent the future of technology. You have a keen eye. After acquiring these technology companies, where do you plan to set up your headquarters?"

Shen Dong said: "Of course it's inland. I don't trust the Japanese. After the successful acquisition, I will move all their scientific researchers, scientific research equipment, patented technologies and production lines to Pengcheng or other cities."

The old man smiled brightly and said, "Xiaguo has never lacked scientific research talents. What it lacks most is funds. If you want to do research and development, you can ask the scientists at the Xiaguo Academy of Sciences for help. I have only one request, the patented technology must remain in Xiaguo."

Shen Dong nodded and said, "No problem. The sea embraces all rivers, and the more you can accommodate, the greater you are. Not only scientists from Xia Country, but also scientists from all over the world are within my recruitment scope. As long as they are willing to come, the salary will definitely be the highest in the world."

The old man asked, "How much money do you plan to invest in research and development every year?"

Shen Dong said: "The annual investment will not be less than 30 billion Hong Kong dollars. If there are results, it is not impossible for the R&D funds to exceed 10 billion US dollars."

Hearing Shen Dong's words, Liu Hui next to him was shocked.

Investing 30 billion Hong Kong dollars in research and development every year was beyond Liu Hui's imagination.

Even the entire Xia country has only invested a few billion Xia yuan in the field of scientific and technological research and development.

At this moment, Liu Hui felt deep admiration for the vision and courage shown by this young man.

The old man was also very shocked and said, "Xiao Shen, are you sure you are not joking?"

Shen Dong smiled and said, "Of course not. I will only keep 20% of the profits of the future Tengfei Technology Company. The other 80% of the profits will be used for the company's research and development and operations. Haha, why can the Lighthouse Country lead the world in technology? It is because it is willing to invest money. Old man, I want to ask you a favor."

The old man asked, "What's the matter?"

Shen Dong said: "Please help me get a list of personnel, targeting those experts and talents in Beisu. I want to contact them in advance. If Beisu is finished, I will take them to work in the future Tengfei Technology Company. With the addition of these people, it will be difficult for Tengfei Technology Company not to succeed."

The old man pondered for a moment and asked, "Can the government buy shares?"

When Shen Dong heard this, he couldn't help but secretly praise it in his heart.

The old man is worthy of being the leader of Xia Country’s economic development. He saw the potential of Tengfei Technology Company in the future at a glance.

The reason for investing is simply to keep Tengfei Technology Company completely in Xia Country.
