Shen Dong patted her hips and said, "Stop talking nonsense and call your godfather right away."

Soon, the call came through.

Ou Yongen briefly explained the situation and hoped that he could introduce Zhuang Wenfa to Shen Dong.

Jian Aowei agreed without hesitation.

The next day at noon, Shen Dong came to a western restaurant.

Jane Aowei had arrived a long time ago and was sitting in the window seat reading a newspaper.

"Mr. Jian, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Shen Dong walked over and apologized to Jian Aowei.

Jian Aowei raised his head, looked at Shen Dong, and said, "Given your relationship with Yong En, you should be able to call me godfather."

Shen Dong said: "My parents passed away early, so I really can't call you that. How about this, if you don't mind, I'll call you uncle, how about that?"

Jane Aowei smiled and said, "How can I dislike a billionaire worth hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars calling me uncle?"

Shen Dong said: "It seems that Yong En told you everything about my time in New York."

Jian Aowei raised his eyebrows and said, "She is my daughter. There are no secrets between us. Even though she is worth billions, she is still not arrogant at all. Adong, you are really great."

Shen Dong said: "Thank you Uncle Jian for the compliment."

Jian Aowei said, "You have withdrawn from Hongxing and started a legitimate business, which is very good. If you have any problems in the future, you can call me directly without asking Yongen to act as a middleman."

Shen Dong nodded and said, "As long as you don't find me annoying, that's fine."

Jian Aowei said: "Adong, I came here half an hour early, mainly because I want to hear about your plans for the future."

Shen Dong said: "My goal is to create a top-level wealthy family like Li Chaoren and Li Zhaoshan. But there is still a long way to go to achieve this goal."

Jian Aowei smiled and said, "You have ambition. Do you know where you are lacking?"

Shen Dong said without hesitation: "Human resources."

Jian Aowei said: "Smart. I will introduce some people from the Legislative Council to you later."

Shen Dong nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle Jian."

The two chatted for a while, and then a man in his thirties with tough features came over. He was the Deputy Director of the Foreign Trade Department, Zhuang Wenfa, whom Shen Dong wanted to meet.

"Teacher, long time no see." Zhuang Wenfa bowed to Jian Aowei and showed great respect to him.

Jane Aowei patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "I used to think that you were a genius in the legal profession and it was a pity for you to enter politics. Now it seems that I was wrong. Even in politics, you are still a genius."

Zhuang Wenfa said: "Thanks to the teacher's cultivation."

Jian Aowei said, "I can't train a deputy director of the Foreign Trade Department. Ah Fa, let me introduce you. This is Yong En's boyfriend Shen Dong."

Shen Dong stretched out his hand and greeted him with a smile.

"Hello, Director Zhuang."

Zhuang Wenfa shook Shen Dong's hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Shen. I have heard of your name. You bought a lot of real estate in Pengcheng and built a clothing factory and an instant noodle factory. The development is very good."

Shen Dong's eyes flashed, and he asked tentatively: "Director Zhuang seems to be very concerned about the development in the north?"

Zhuang Wenfa looked at him deeply and said, "Those who do foreign trade naturally have to pay attention to the economic situation of various countries, not to mention that we have the same roots as the inland areas. Mr. Shen, is that right?"

Shen Dong smiled brightly and said, "Of course. We and Nei Lu share the same bloodline, so we should be closer."

Zhuang Wenfa laughed and said, "That's absolutely right."

After confirming that the other party was concerned about the north, Shen Dong and Zhuang Wenfa both felt that they were much closer to each other.

Jian Aowei had heard from Ou Yongen a long time ago that Shen Dong was a thorough northerner, but he didn't know Zhuang Wenfa's faction.

Now it seems that he is the same as Shen Dong.

Perhaps, Zhuang Wenfa's sudden entry into politics was pushed by the North.

The three of them ate and chatted.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Shen Dong got down to business.

"Director Zhuang, I'm in the real estate business and would like to import cement and river sand from the inland. What do you think?"

Zhuang Wenfa put down his knife and fork and said, "It's difficult. The Foreign Trade Department has never made this offer."

It turns out that after the date of Hong Kong's return was determined, the American government has tightened its trade review between Hong Kong and the mainland.

They know that construction materials in the inland are cheaper and easier to transport, but they just don't agree with real estate developers buying directly from there.

Ultimately, it comes down to the relationship between countries.

Shen Dong frowned and said, "Is there no solution at all?"

Zhuang Wenfa said: "Yes, we will take care of Director Wilson."

Shen Dong said: "I heard that Wilson has good relations with various wealthy tycoons."

Zhuang Wenfa said meaningfully: "Wilson has a younger brother who does business in Malaysia. He is engaged in cement and sand and gravel business. I heard that he has made a lot of money."

When Shen Dong heard this, he immediately understood what he meant.

No wonder Wilson refused to agree to purchase these things from the inland.

It turns out that he and a group of real estate tycoons like Li Chaoren made profits from construction raw materials.

Shen Dong smiled bitterly and said, "I seem to have run into a dead end."

Jian Aowei said, "Ah Fa, don't keep me in suspense. You should have a way, right?"

Zhuang Wenfa said: "The Foreign Trade Department is directly managed by Mr. Raul, the Deputy Secretary for Finance of Hong Kong Island. Over the years, it's not that Raul didn't want to extend his hand to the Foreign Trade Department, but he was always blocked by Wilson. Haha, Wilson's biggest problem is that he is too greedy. After he got the benefits, he actually ate them all. Ah Dong, if you were Wilson's boss, how would you feel?"

Chapter 317 Greedy Raul

Shen Dong asked in confusion: "Since Raul is Wilson's immediate superior, why not transfer him away or get rid of him?"

Zhuang Wenfa explained: "The Wilson family has great influence in Eagle Sauce Country."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "If I were Mr. Raul, I would probably feel very aggrieved."

Zhuang Wenfa said: "Raul will return to the United States in half a month to take up an important position in the General Administration of Taxation and Customs."

Shen Dong nodded and said, "I know what to do. Director Zhuang, thank you very much. I'll toast to you."

Zhuang Wenfa raised his glass, clinked it with Shen Dong, and reminded him, "We must be quick. Raul can approve it directly without going through any procedures."

Shen Dong said: "I understand."

After having a good meal and a good drink, Shen Dong and Zhuang Wenfa exchanged contact information.

After Zhuang Wenfa left, Jian Aowei said, "I didn't expect this guy is from the north."

Shen Dong poured a cup of tea for Jian Aowei and said, "Uncle Jian, what faction are you from?"

Jian Aowei showed a mysterious smile and said, "I won't tell you."

Shen Dong said seriously: "Uncle Jian, those who are not of our race must have different hearts. The Eagles are unreliable. The people in the north are our own people."

Jian Aowei said, "You'd better not say such things in front of outsiders. If Zhuang Wenfa is not from the northern faction, he will not only not help you this time, but he will probably ruin your plans."

Shen Dong nodded and said, "I dare to tell Zhuang Wenfa about my inclination because I saw his yearning for the inland from his eyes."

After saying goodbye to Jane Austen, Shen Dong went to Citibank to exchange a bank draft for three million pounds, and then drove directly to the Finance Department.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

Since Shen Dong did not make an appointment in advance, the staff kept him out.

This made Shen Dong feel that his identity and status were indeed far behind those of the wealthy tycoons.

When it came to Li Chaoren, the staff members were so bold that they didn't dare to push him out.

After waiting outside for more than an hour, Shen Dong finally saw Raul getting off work.

"Mr. Raul, I am Shen Dong, the president of Tengfei Group. Can you give me five minutes?" Shen Dong walked up to him and asked with a smile.

Raul looked at Shen Dong and said in standard Cantonese: "I've heard of your name, but I didn't expect you to be younger than I thought. There is a cafe across the street, we can go there to talk."

Shen Dong said: "Great, please."

The two came to the coffee shop, Shen Dong chose a private room and ordered two cups of the best coffee.

Raul said, "I have a private party. I can only give you time to have a cup of coffee at most. So if you have anything to say, you'd better speak directly and don't beat around the bush."

Shen Dong scanned the area and confirmed that there were no cameras. He then took out a Citibank cashier's check worth three million pounds from his bag, placed it in front of Raul, and said, "Mr. Raul, this is a little gift from me."

Seeing the price on the check, Raul's eyes lit up and he said, "I'm about to leave Hong Kong Island, but you gave me such a big gift. I'm a little surprised. Tell me, how can I help you?"

Shen Dong said: "Mr. Raul, our Tengfei Real Estate Company bought a lot of land and wanted to do a big business in Hong Kong Island, but we were restricted by Li Chaoren on building materials. After investigation, I found that the building materials of Hong Kong Island real estate were actually controlled by real estate tycoons like Li Chaoren."

Raul sneered, "It's not just these real estate tycoons, there are also many people in government departments who can profit from this."

Seeing Raul's attitude, Shen Dong felt that there was a way, and echoed: "That's right. I heard that the most powerful one is Mr. Wilson, the director of the Foreign Trade Department. His brother made a lot of money through the cement and sand business in Malaysia."

Raul said seriously: "You want to break their monopoly, right?"

Shen Dong nodded and said, "Yes. My real estate company has formed a complete industrial chain from design to construction to delivery. The only problem is the raw materials. I know you have the right to issue me a license to import building materials from the inland of Xia, so I came here to ask for your help. Don't worry, as long as this matter is done, I promise to give you a big surprise."

Raul looked at the check on the table and said, "To accomplish this, we need to overcome many obstacles. I'm afraid this amount is not enough."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "I know the rules. Please tell me how much you need."

Raul held up five fingers and said, "Give me this amount, and I promise to help you get the import license within three days."

Shen Dong said: "No problem. Mr. Raul, if it is the only license to purchase construction materials from the inland, I can add another three million pounds."

Raul's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he said, "Shen, you have a big appetite and high demands. However, for the sake of pounds, I can give it a try, but the maximum term is five years."

Shen Dong said: "Five years is enough time. Mr. Raul, one last question, aren't you afraid of offending these wealthy tycoons in Hong Kong Island by helping me like this?"

Raul smiled and said, "I'm going back home soon. I may not even see them in this lifetime, so why should I be afraid of them?"

Shen Dong said: "Then I look forward to your good news."

Raul quickly picked up the check, put it in his pocket, and said, "Don't forget to have someone submit an application tomorrow morning."

......

The news that Superman Li was planning to deal with Shen Dong quickly spread throughout the business circle of Hong Kong Island.

Over the years, nearly twenty businessmen have been suppressed by real estate tycoons such as Li Chaoren and Li Zhaoshan.

Without exception, they all bowed their heads and admitted defeat.

Everyone wants to see whether Shen Dong, who came from a gangster background, can become the exception?

Upon learning about this, Cheng Qingquan came to Tengfei Real Estate Company and met Shen Dong.

"Mr. Shen, I have some friendship with Li Chaoren. Do you want me to go and talk to him?"

Shen Dong smiled and said, "No need. Mr. Cheng, don't worry, the project will be completed as scheduled. I guarantee that the money you invested will bring you a rich return."

Seeing Shen Dong so confident, Cheng Qingquan couldn't help but ask, "Have you found a company that can provide you with building materials?"

Shen Dong said: "Soon, it should be in these few days."

Cheng Qingquan said bitterly: "This Li Chaoren is so hateful. They blocked my building materials back then, so I had to sell the project to them at a low price. Now, they are using this trick again, which is simply unreasonable."

Shen Dong frowned and said, "Mr. Cheng, why didn't you tell me about this before?"

Cheng Qingquan said, "This is my negligence. Before we entered the real estate industry, our Cheng family was a successful business family. It is normal for them to be wary and try every means to suppress us. But I never thought that Li Chaoren would actually take action against a young man like you. He simply has no face left."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "I am actually quite happy. It means that he regards me as an opponent."

Chapter 318: Building an Alliance

Cheng Qingquan asked worriedly: "Do you really have a way to solve the problem of building materials?"

Shen Dong's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said: "I not only want to solve the problem of building materials, but also seize the entire Hong Kong Island market. Mr. Cheng, I want to play a big game."

Cheng Qingquan was stunned and asked, "How big is it?"

Shen Dong said: "There are dozens of real estate companies of all sizes in Hong Kong Island, and almost every one of them has been oppressed by super tycoons like Li Chaoren and Li Zhaoshan. Not to mention other things, the price of this building material alone is enough to make them rich and cause those small and medium-sized real estate companies to suffer heavy losses. So I want to set up a Hong Kong Island Real Estate Alliance and use cheap building materials to recruit all real estate companies. Let's unite and resist real estate tycoons like Li Chaoren together."

Cheng Qingquan was shocked and said, "Mr. Shen, what you did is equivalent to completely offending super-rich people like Li Chaoren and Li Zhaoshan."

Shen Dong sneered, "They were the ones who offended me first. What? Is Mr. Cheng scared?"
