The next afternoon, the kidnapper Zhang Xingqiang came to Li Chao's house with a large bag of explosives.

Li Chaoren gave him the 430 million Hong Kong dollars he had raised and promised that the remaining money would be settled tomorrow.

Zhang Xingqiang was very happy and drove away with the money.

He didn't notice that there was a car following him from a distance of thirty meters.

After running for about half an hour, the car saw Zhang Xingqiang seemed to be circling, so it decisively overtook him, and then another taxi was hanging behind Zhang Xingqiang's car.

After changing six cars, Zhang Xingqiang circled Central seven or eight times before running towards Wan Chai.

Seeing Zhang Xingqiang entering an abandoned chicken farm, Zhang Huan called Shen Dong.

"Brother Dong, the target is the Xingwang Chicken Farm in Wan Chai."

It turned out that after learning that Li Zekai was kidnapped, Shen Dong immediately judged from his memories of his previous life that the other party must be the century thief Zhang Xingqiang, so he sent Zhang Huan to monitor not far from Li Chaoren's villa, and indeed gained something.

Shen Dong said, "Ah Huan, please work hard and keep an eye on this chicken farm."

Zhang Huan said, "I understand."

......

A high-end hotel in Tsuen Wan

Shen Dong put down his mobile phone and a weird smile appeared on his face.

If Li Chaoren had a good relationship with him, maybe Shen Dong would go and rescue Li Zekai.

Unfortunately, the relationship between the two sides is now hostile.

Not only did Shen Dong not save people, he also tried to find a way to get Li Chaoren's money from Zhang Shiqiang, which could be considered as revenge.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Shen Dong entertained twelve real estate company CEOs in the hotel.

In addition to Mr. Cheng Qingquan, there are also Guo Yangyuan, president of Guo’s Real Estate Company, Lei Shanlin, president of Hanhai Construction Company, Li Fenglin of Fenglin Real Estate, Ling Yuanhao of Ling’s Real Estate Company and others.

They are the backbone of the real estate industry in Hong Kong Island. Although they are far inferior to tycoons like Li Chaoren, their combined strength should not be underestimated.

The food and wine were ready, but no one picked up their chopsticks. All of their eyes were on Shen Dong, who was sitting in the main seat. The atmosphere was extremely solemn.

Shen Dong looked around and said with a smile, "Thank you very much for taking the time to come to my banquet. Everyone knows that I am a newcomer in the real estate industry. I thought that I could build a business in Hong Kong Island with money, so I spent nearly 1.9 billion Hong Kong dollars to buy a piece of land in Kowloon from Li Chaoren at an auction. As a result, as you can see, none of my real estate projects can be opened because there is no construction materials."

Guo Yangyuan sighed and said, "Mr. Shen, everyone here has experienced what happened to you. Over the years, we have basically bought land that these super tycoons were unwilling to take. There is no way, they have a monopoly on construction materials. If you dare to compete with them for land, even if you win, they will buy it out at a low price."

Li Fenglin said, "Who said it wasn't? I spent 300 million Hong Kong dollars to buy a piece of land and wanted to build a commercial building. Halfway through the project, Li Zhaoshan took a fancy to it. Fortunately, I had foresight and bought enough building materials in advance, so he didn't take advantage of it. It was because of this incident that I didn't take on any projects in the past two years and could only rely on rent to barely support the operation of the company."

Other CEOs also complained bitterly and expressed their dissatisfaction with real estate tycoons such as Li Chaoren and Li Zhaoshan.

Shen Dong coughed and said, "Dear bosses, I have only one purpose for inviting you to the banquet today, and that is to invite you to join the Hong Kong Island Real Estate Association."

Guo Yangyuan asked in confusion: "Boss Shen, why have I never heard of this Hong Kong Island Real Estate Association?"

Shen Dong shrugged and said, "Because I haven't created it yet, of course you haven't heard of it."

"Ha ha ha ha"

Everyone laughed.

Guo Yangyuan couldn't help but smile and said, "Then I want to know what benefits will it bring to us if we join this association?"

Shen Dong said: "Of course. All members of the association can purchase sufficient quantities of building materials at the lowest price."

"boom"

Shen Dong's words were like a thunderclap exploding in everyone's ears.

Before the banquet, Tang Peijun only said that everyone who attended the banquet would receive huge benefits, but did not disclose any specific details.

No one thought that this benefit would be building materials.

Li Fenglin stood up excitedly, his voice trembling, and said, "Boss Shen, what do you mean by this? Can you explain it in detail?"

Shen Dong took out more than ten copies of the approval document for importing inland construction materials and said, "One for each person. Let's take a look at this first."

Tang Peijun sent out a copy of the approval document.

"I rely on"

"real or fake?"

“Construction materials from inland can be brought in.”

"Five years of exclusive marketing rights? That's too long."

"I seem to be seeing another real estate tycoon rising."

......

Everyone was talking about it.

Shen Dong said: "I have already contacted the merchants in the inland. In the near future, there will be a steady supply of cement and river sand shipped to Hong Kong Island. In this way, the monopoly of these super real estate tycoons on construction materials will be completely broken."

Chapter 325 Shen Dong becomes the president

Li Fenglin said, "In five days, Li Chaoren will have hundreds of thousands of tons of cement and river sand arriving at Hong Kong Island. The price of one ton of cement is more than two thousand Hong Kong dollars, and the price of one ton of sand is three hundred and twenty Hong Kong dollars. Mr. Shen, what is the price of your construction materials?"

This issue is directly related to the vital interests of the entire Hong Kong Island real estate developers. More than a dozen businessmen present all looked at Shen Dong.

Shen Dong looked at Tang Peijun next to him, and Tang Peijun said: "All members who join the association will get a price of 120 Hong Kong dollars per ton of sand and 800 Hong Kong dollars per ton of cement. The prices for non-members are 200 Hong Kong dollars and 1300 Hong Kong dollars respectively."

"it is good."

"awesome."

"Clap clap clap"

There was warm applause in the box.

When the applause died down, Tang Peijun said, "Bosses, don't be happy yet. Listen to me. Once we sell building materials at this price, it will inevitably have a huge impact on the interests of real estate tycoons like Li Chaoren. If we offend them, our Tengfei Real Estate Company will definitely be strongly suppressed by them."

"As a new real estate company, we cannot afford their anger. So if you want cheap building materials and break through their monopoly, you must give us a safety guarantee."

"Otherwise, we will just stand with these super-rich and continue to monopolize."

Guo Yangyuan asked: "What kind of guarantee do you want?"

Tang Peijun held up a finger and said, "Everyone's membership fee of 100 million Hong Kong dollars should be paid to our Tengfei Real Estate Company. Within five years, we will provide everyone with enough cement and river sand in guaranteed quality and quantity. After five years, the 100 million Hong Kong dollars will be fully refunded."

"During this period, all members must stick together. No matter who is being unreasonably suppressed by top tycoons like Li Chaoren and Li Zhaoshan, everyone must contribute money and manpower to help him through the difficult times."

"If anyone betrays the association, the 100 million yuan in membership fees will be divided equally among all members."

"We have prepared the corresponding legal agreement, and everyone can consider it carefully."

Lei Shanlin exhaled a long puff of smoke and said, "Why bother considering this? Everyone knows how much cement and sand are needed to build a high-rise building. According to the price given by Mr. Shen, the 100 million can be earned back quickly. Where is the membership agreement? I'll sign it first and have someone transfer the money tomorrow."

Guo Yangyuan said: "I will join too. Li Chaoren and his people are too ruthless. If they continue like this, my company will be finished in less than three years. Damn, I still have two projects that have not started yet."

Other bosses also expressed their willingness to pay money to sign contracts and work hard with those super business tycoons.

After the contract was signed, Cheng Qingquan said with a smile: "Boss Shen, with the full support of our thirteen companies, you should be relieved now, right?"

Shen Dong nodded and said, "Don't worry. Dear CEOs, I have no other choice. The other party is too powerful. I can only protect myself first. I hope you can understand."

Guo Yangyuan laughed and said, "Boss Shen, we understand. If it were anyone else, they would have already joined forces with Li Chaoren and his gang to oppress and blockade us. How could they take such a big risk to cooperate with us? I, Guo Yangyuan, admire your kindness and righteousness. Everyone, let us toast to Boss Shen and thank him for his kindness and righteousness."

Everyone raised their glasses and said in unison: "Thank you, Mr. Shen."

Shen Dong said, "Before we drink, let me say this first. Please keep this matter confidential. Wait until Superman Li transports the hundreds of thousands of tons of construction materials to Hong Kong Island before announcing it. You should all understand what I mean, right?"

Everyone laughed and said, "Understood."

Shen Dong picked up the wine glass and said, "Cheers."

At a banquet, everyone drank and enjoyed themselves.

At the banquet, Shen Dong was the youngest, but his calmness, wisdom, magnanimity and confidence left a deep impression on everyone.

Even the always arrogant Guo Yangyuan told Cheng Qingquan in private that this young man was a natural leader.

During the dinner, everyone nominated Shen Dong as the president of the Hong Kong Real Estate Association.

After pretending to refuse a few times, Shen Dong naturally became the first president of the association.

With the support of more than a dozen bosses, Shen Dong finally gained a firm foothold in the business community of Hong Kong Island.

After having a good meal and a few drinks, everyone went back in a happy mood.

Cheng Qingquan deliberately stayed until the end and said to Shen Dong: "A Dong, the fight between you and Li Chaoren and the others is about to begin."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng, let me tell you the truth. I went to Pengcheng some time ago and robbed Li Chaoren's port. I guess he doesn't know it yet."

Cheng Qingquan was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "You are really good."

Shen Dong said: "Mr. Cheng, I see you have also signed the agreement. Are you preparing to enter the real estate industry again?"

Cheng Qingquan said: "Why not?"

Shen Dong said: "Let me make it clear first, I will never return the construction company to you."

Cheng Qingquan said proudly: "I have a real estate company in Titanium Country and Malaysia. The construction teams under my company are qualified enough to build all buildings within 60 floors. I also registered in Hong Kong Island at the beginning. I planned to transfer all of them here after the company became bigger, but I didn't expect the company to end in a miserable failure. Fortunately, the real estate business in Titanium Country and Malaysia is also doing well, so I have kept it."

Shen Dong gave a thumbs up and said, "It turns out that old ginger is still spicy."

Cheng Qingquan laughed out loud.

At the same time, Li Chaoren was talking with Li Wenbin and Li Xiu who were visiting him at home.

Li Wenbin said, "Sir Li, we know that you have withdrawn more than 400 million in cash from various banks. I guess the money has already been in the hands of the robbers, right?"

Li Chaoren nodded and said, "Superintendent Li, I have no choice. If I don't give him the money, Zekai will die."

Li Wenbin asked: "Have you seen the robber?"

Li Chaoren said: "I have seen it, but I can't tell you."

Li Wenbin advised: "Sir Li, please believe that our police force is absolutely capable of bringing the robbers to justice while protecting Mr. Li Zekai's safety."

Li Chaoren frowned and said, "Superintendent Li, are you 100% sure you can rescue Zekai?"

Li Wenbin pursed his lips and said, "Faced with this situation, no police officer in the world would dare to say that he is 100% sure of rescuing the hostages."

Li Chaoren said, "I am not short of money. I think it is worthwhile to use 1 billion Hong Kong dollars to rescue my son. Superintendent Li, I hope that the police will stop interfering in this matter, and do not send anyone to follow the other party, lest they kill him directly after being discovered."

Li Wenbin sighed and said, "Sir Li, here is my contact information. If you change your mind, you can call me directly."

Li Chaoren thanked them and personally escorted the two out of the living room.

Before getting in the car, Li Chaoren said, "Superintendent Li, I know that some police officers are extremely stubborn and always have a spirit of not admitting defeat. But this time is different. If anyone gets into trouble with my son, I will never let him go even if I die. Do you understand what I mean?"

Li Wenbin knew that this was a warning from Li Chaoren and said, "Understood."

Chapter 326 Frame-up

On the way back, Li Xiu said, "Brother Bin, are we really not going to care about anything?"

Li Wenbin said, "How can we manage it? Send someone to follow the robbers? If something really happens, Sir Li will definitely take revenge on us like crazy. Anyway, I can't stand it. If you think you can do it, you can go. I will pretend that I don't know."

Li Xiu shrugged and said, "Forget it. To be honest, I don't have a good impression of wealthy people like Sir Li."

Li Wenbin asked: "Why? How did he offend you?"

Li Xiu said, "Li Chaoren wanted to take over Shen Dong's projects, so he stopped selling him construction materials, causing all of Shen Dong's projects to stop. Don't you think his actions are particularly shameless?"

Li Wenbin said: "Business is like a battlefield. We can only blame Shen Dong for not being fully prepared before entering this industry. However, based on my understanding of Shen Dong, he should not be defeated so easily."

Li Xiu smiled and said, "I hope so. To be honest, I really like this guy."

Li Wenbin rolled his eyes at him and said, "This guy you like may become a top tycoon who is no less wealthy than Li Chaoren in the future. By then, you may not even be qualified to stand in front of him."

Li Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "I look forward to that day."

.......

The next morning, Zhang Xingqiang came to Li Chaoren's villa again with explosives tied to his body.

Li Chaoren took him to visit his villa as if he was entertaining a friend, and invited him to have tea and chat.

Zhang Xingqiang has a heart no smaller than Li Chaoren's and he feels no restraint at all in his home.

It was not until after lunch that Zhang Xingqiang left with the remaining 570 million Hong Kong dollars.

After circling back and forth on the avenues in Central and Western District for a few times and making sure that there were no police following him, Zhang Xingqiang returned to the Xingwang Chicken Farm in Wan Chai.
