In addition to the Hong Gang, other underworld gangs including the Green Gang, the Big Circle Gang, the Mafia, and the Brotherhood also agreed.

The Lighthouse Country's military, boxing association, and UFC Fighting Association have all issued statements that they will select three real masters to fight.

Once the Lighthouse Country took action, other Western countries followed suit.

The most active one is the Japanese Karate Association, which vowed to win the championship in the world's number one martial arts tournament to avenge its previous defeat.

"Mr. Shen, what is the purpose of holding this martial arts competition?"

Xia Huashe President Du Yuxin came to Shen Dong's office and asked directly.

Shen Dong poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Of course it is to promote Xiaguo Kung Fu."

Du Yuxin frowned and said, "This is a dispute of will."

Shen Dong said, "Since ancient times, there has been no first in literature and no second in martial arts. I held this event just to let everyone in the world know that Xiaguo's Kung Fu is not the best in the world. President Du, are the higher-ups very dissatisfied with this?"

Du Yuxin said: "It's not that I'm very dissatisfied, I just think it's completely unnecessary."

Shen Dong asked: "Will you send anyone to participate?"

Du Yuxin shook his head and said, "We are no longer needed. The Xia Country Martial Arts Association is very concerned about this world's number one martial arts conference and has decided to invite those real masters from the folks to represent Xia Country Kung Fu in this event."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "That's great. I'm not afraid of too many experts, I'm afraid of not having any experts. By the way, how is our negotiation with the military of Beisu Country, no, it should be Beixiong Country?"

Du Yuxin said: "Military equipment is fine. As long as we buy, they will sell it. The key is technology and production lines, they are very determined."

Shen Dong said: "The reason for biting to death is to raise the price."

Du Yuxin spread his hands and said, "The government is not as rich as you are. Tell me the truth, how much did you earn from the Northern Su Kingdom?"

Shen Dong raised his eyebrows and said, "I can only say that it will not be less than the Japanese stock market. As for the specific figures, they are commercial secrets and I cannot tell you."

Du Yuxin said: "I heard that you are discussing the acquisition of the third largest oil company in the Northern Bear Country, Sar Oil Company. Why? Do you want to enter the oil industry?"

Shen Dong did not hide anything and said, "It's not just the Sar Oil Company. Two oil companies from other countries are also in talks. Oil is the blood of modern industry. I want to take advantage of the money to establish the Tengfei Oil Group. The requirements are not high, as long as the scale can be ranked among the top ten in the world."

"Top ten in the world?"

Du Yuxin rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Your requirements are really low. Mr. Shen, you have founded a technology company and an oil company. I really want to know which industry you are going to get involved in next?"

Shen Dong shook his head and said, "Within five years, I will practice my internal skills well and will not expand any more."

Du Yuxin said: "The fact that you can think this way shows that you are not deceived by the victory in front of you. To be honest, the size of Tengfei Group is a bit too scary. If you don't practice your internal strength well, once you go crazy, it will be fatal. Even the old man is worried about you."

Shen Dong said: "I dare to expand wildly because I have sufficient capital reserves and development plans, not because of nothing."

Du Yuxin nodded and said, "I feel it. Your branches are developing very well. Mr. Shen, the Northern Soviet Union has disintegrated, and the military wants to take back the warships and planes. What do you think?"

Without even thinking, Shen Dong said, "Of course no problem. But I don't think now is a good time to take her back."

Du Yuxin asked: "What do you mean?"

Shen Dong said: "It is too sensitive to have the most advanced warships and forty most advanced fighter planes in the world enter the Xia army. Not only will it attract the attention of Western powers, but it will also be very disadvantageous to the negotiations with the Northern Bear. Anyway, these weapons and equipment are in the hands of your people. Why don't you wait until you buy the second batch of military equipment from the Northern Bear before taking them back?"

Du Yuxin thought for a moment and said, "I will report your opinion."

"Don't!"

Shen Dong said quickly: "If you say so, they might think I want to embezzle these planes and warships."

Du Yuxin looked at him deeply and said, "How could that be? We heard that your people are negotiating with the Great Wu Kingdom and want to buy their warships and aircraft."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "Tenglong Mercenaries applied to me for this matter, and I agreed."

Du Yuxin asked: "Mr. Shen, you already own more than 20,000 square kilometers of land in Myanmar. We would like to know, what is your purpose?"

Shen Dong smiled and said, "Why don't you just ask me directly if I can build a country?"

Du Yuxin said in a deep voice: "Can you?"

Shen Dong said without hesitation: "No. They have asked me this question many times, and my answer is never. The main purpose of establishing the Tenglong Mercenaries is to protect my industry, but I didn't expect it to be a bit too big. It's okay, at least I won't be bullied. President Du, you don't believe me, do you?"

Du Yuxin smiled and said, "Of course I believe you. Mr. Shen, the old man will come to Pengcheng for an inspection in half a month, and he specifically wants to visit your Tengfei Technology Company and Tengfei Automobile Company. What do you mean?"

Shen Dong's eyes lit up and he said, "Two companies are too few. Tengfei Clothing Company, Tengfei Beverage Company and Tengfei Instant Noodle Company also welcome the old man's inspection."

Du Yuxin asked, "Are you trying to use the old man to promote your own products?"

Shen Dong laughed and said, "I don't deny that I have this idea, especially for car companies. As long as the old man gets into a Tengfei car and sits there for two or three minutes, it will be hard for the Tengfei car brand not to become popular."

Chapter 673 The Old Man's Inspection

Who is the old man?

The pillar of support for the entire Xia Kingdom!

If he were to inspect various major companies in Tengfei, he would definitely be on the 7 o'clock news.

The Tengfei brand will immediately be in front of people all over the country.

Maybe, in the future, government departments will purchase Tengfei cars as government vehicles.

After the last ribbon-cutting ceremony of Tengfei Technology Company, Shen Dong invited the old man to visit other companies of Tengfei, but unfortunately the old man was very busy and had no time to go.

Half a month later, Shen Dong had to find a way to get the old man to go and see it.

Because this free advertisement is better than any advertisement that costs money!

Du Yuxin said: "It is up to the old man to decide where to go. We dare not specify it. Don't spread this matter to others, understand?"

Shen Dong made an OK gesture and said, "Don't worry, I understand."

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

At the entrance of Tengfei Automobile Company, Shen Dong, Xiao Ma Ge and more than a dozen company executives were waiting for the old man's arrival.

Brother Xiao Ma adjusted his tie and said, "Jimmy, do I think this outfit I'm wearing is OK?"

Jimmy glanced at him and said with disdain, "You're not walking on the catwalk, is your attire so important?"

Brother Xiao Ma glared at him and said unhappily, "You know nothing. He's an old man, I have to leave a good impression on him no matter what."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "Forget about the good impression. Your information has long been on the old man's desk. It's already a good thing for you to be greeted."

Xiao Ma slapped his forehead and said, "It's over. My image is gone."

Jimmy said, "You are really stupid."

Xiao Ma asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Jimmy said, "It's true that you are a short mule, but Brother Dong is still the leader of the short mules. The old man doesn't care about Brother Dong's past identity at all, so why would he care about you?"

Brother Ma smiled and said, “That’s true.”

Shen Dong saw more than ten cars appearing in front and said, "The old man is here."

Jimmy and Xiao Ma's expressions immediately became serious.

The convoy slowly stopped.

Shen Dong immediately stepped forward and opened the door of the fourth car.

The old man stood up from inside, saw Shen Dong next to him, and laughed: "I am so honored to have you, the richest man in the world, open the car door for me."

Shen Dong quickly said, "What do you mean by the world's richest man? Old man, you are scolding me. I think I have been quite honest recently."

The old man said meaningfully: "Are you honest enough to go to the Great Wu Kingdom to buy warships and planes, and also build a military factory in Myanmar?"

Shen Dong shrugged and said, "Isn't this just to protect my own business?"

The fact that the old man could say these words to Shen Dong without any scruples showed that he did not take the Tenglong mercenaries' large-scale armaments to heart, which made Shen Dong secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

When the people following the old man saw the way Shen Dong communicated with the old man, they all showed surprise in their eyes.

Who is the old man?

He is a soldier who crawled out of a sea of ​​corpses and bones. He has sharp eyes and a strong aura.

In front of the old man, all the officials were respectful and tread carefully, for fear of saying the wrong thing.

And Shen Dong actually dared to speak to the old man in such a light-hearted and humorous tone. It can be seen that the relationship between the two is definitely not simple.

The old man said, "Don't be too ambitious, kid."

Shen Dong chuckled and said, "I don't have any political ambitions at all, but I have big ambitions in science and technology and the economy."

"well said."

The old man praised, pointed at Shen Dong, turned around and said to everyone: "See, this is confidence! What our Xia country officials and businessmen lack is this kind of invincible confidence."

Everyone nodded in unison.

"but..."

The old man made a sudden change and said with a smile: "Whether confidence and ambition can be transformed into strength is another matter."

Shen Dong raised his eyebrows and said, "If there were no aliens, our Tengfei Group would be the world's number one in the future technology field."

The old man smiled and said, "Your words are encouraging. Mr. Shen, could you please take an old man like me to visit your world-class technology industries?"

Shen Dong said: "I feel like you are scolding me again."

"Ha ha ha ha"

Everyone at the scene laughed.

Shen Dong led the old man and dozens of officials into Tengfei Automobile Company. He pointed at Xiao Ma and said, "Old man, his name is Xiao Ma. He used to follow me in the Hongxing Society and is now the general manager of Tengfei Automobile Company. He was so excited when he heard that you were coming this time."

Brother Ma stretched out his hands and said excitedly, "Hello, old man, my name is Ma Qingping."

The old man shook his hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Ma, I'll trouble you to introduce me next."

Xiao Ma Ge quickly said: "No trouble, no trouble, it's my honor."

Seeing the nervous expression on Ma's face, the old man joked, "Boss Ma, I'm just a retired old man, not a super beauty. You don't need to be so nervous."

"Ha ha ha ha"

Everyone laughed.

Xiao Ma said embarrassedly: "You are my idol, so I am a little excited. Grandpa, let's take a sightseeing bus to the R&D center first, and then go to the car manufacturing workshop. What do you think?"

The old man nodded and said, "The guest follows the host's wishes. We will go wherever you take us."

Tengfei Automobile Company covers a large area. Even if you take a sightseeing bus, it takes ten minutes to reach the R&D center in the northeast corner.

Compared with half a year ago, the R&D center has become a 28-story building with thousands of scientific researchers working here.

The old man was very interested in the engine laboratory and asked, "Mr. Ma, this laboratory of yours cost a lot of money, right?"

Xiao Ma said, "It cost 300 million U.S. dollars in total. Our engine experts have extremely high requirements for experimental equipment and instruments, and they use the best in the world."

The old man continued to ask: "How many laboratories of this specification do you have in your R&D center?"

Xiao Ma Ge said: "The engine lab is the most expensive, and the other labs are cheaper. The entire R&D center cost about one billion US dollars in total."

"A billion dollars."

The old man was secretly surprised, and turned to Shen Dong and said, "You said before that Tengfei Group would spend a lot of money on research and development. I thought you were kidding an old man like me, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "Grandpa, compared to high-tech industries such as communications and chips, the research and development of automobiles is relatively small. In the afternoon, I will take you to technology companies, which are the ones that really spend a lot of money."

The old man said: "It seems that today I, an old man, can broaden my horizons."

Chapter 674 The Old Man's Inspection

Xiao Ma Ge invited the engine’s chief R&D expert to talk about the performance of the Tengfei engine and future R&D direction.

After listening to him, the old man pondered and said, "Xiao Shen, according to this expert, your Tengfei engine is already the best in the world, right?"

Shen Dong said: "Yes, it is at least five years ahead of similar engines in Europe and the United States."

The old man asked, "Have you applied for a patent?"

Shen Dong said: "I have already applied. When the Tengfei car is launched on the market, I think those foreign car manufacturers will ask me to buy this engine."

The old man patted his thigh and said happily: "No wonder you are so confident, well done. What are your plans next?"

Shen Dong looked at Xiao Ma Ge, who immediately understood and said, "Grandpa, we will manufacture various types of sedans and commercial vehicles in the future. At the same time, based on this generation of engine technology, we will invest heavily in the research and development of the next generation of engine technology. We will strive to make a huge leap in the performance of automobile engines within five years."

The old man said, "Very good. I heard that you have already produced thousands of Tengfei cars, and donated 25 to the governments of Guangdong Province and Pengcheng. Xiao Chu, tell me the truth, how do you feel about riding in a Tengfei car?"

Chu Xinghua said respectfully, "Old man, our municipal government's ten Tengfei cars have traveled a total of more than 50,000 kilometers. The drivers have given a unanimous evaluation that they are top-notch, more comfortable and smoother to drive than imported cars, and more fuel-efficient. So far, except for a minor problem with a Tengfei car whose tire was punctured by a nail on the road, there have been no other malfunctions."
