Chapter 172: Chapter 172 Parents Visit Hai City_1

"Okay," Xu Zheng nodded, then asked cautiously, "Mr. Shen, do you think you could give me a little investment quota?"

"No problem," Shen Dong smiled and said, "How about 10% of the quota for you?"

Even if Xu Zheng hadn’t mentioned it, he would have given Xu Zheng some investment quota.

Not for any other reason, but to get Xu Zheng to take his work seriously.

The quality of this movie was directly linked to Xu Zheng’s actual interests, and it could make him really put his heart into his work.

Of course, since he still needed to bring in other major investors, he couldn’t give too much.

"That’s fantastic, thank you, Mr. Shen," Xu Zheng said excitedly.

Having 10% was already more than satisfying for him.

He had thought that even 5% would have been great.

Shen Dong giving him 10% had already exceeded his expectations.

They chatted a bit more about the movie, then ended the call.

Next, Shen Dong dialed the number of Lu Xingzhou, the general manager of Lixing Copyright Company, to inquire about acquiring various work copyrights.

Almost a month had passed, and in just over half a month, the country would begin to rectify copyrights.

At that time, the prices of copyrights for various works would skyrocket.

"Mr. Shen, even if you had not contacted me, I would have reported to you today."

"I’ve bought the rights to five hundred and seventy-six movies, spending a total of thirty-one million six hundred and ninety thousand."

"There are one hundred and twenty-five TV series, which cost a total of one hundred and thirty-three million fifty-seven thousand."

"Forty-three animations, with a total cost of seventy-four million eight hundred and seventy thousand."

"One hundred and fifty sporting events, costing a total of eleven million."

"Twenty-one variety shows, with a total cost of six million three hundred thousand."

"Eighty-nine popular novels, totaling forty-one million eight hundred thousand."

"The cost for all these works combined is two hundred and ninety-nine million two hundred and thirty thousand."

"All the above works are authorized for ten years," Lu Xingzhou reported in detail.

"Very good," Shen Dong nodded with satisfaction.

This Lu Xingzhou was quite competent; he spent money vigorously and decisively, which was exactly the kind of person he needed.

"Mr. Shen, our funds are almost depleted now. If we are to continue purchasing, we will need more funds from you," Lu Xingzhou said.

Shen Dong had previously said that if they ran out of money, they should just ask him for more.

That was also why he said he would report to Mr. Shen today.

The main reason being they were out of money!

"Of course, let’s continue. I’ll give you another two hundred million to keep buying," Shen Dong said.

"Alright," Lu Xingzhou replied excitedly.

This way of spending money with a generous sweep of the hand was truly exhilarating!

In this period, he had been regarded by insiders as a ’God of Wealth.’ Each time he went to negotiate with those people, he was treated to delicious food and drink, and it was simply too good to be true.

"I’ll transfer the money to the company account right away."

Shen Dong hung up the phone, immediately logged into his mobile banking, and transferred two hundred million to Lixing Copyright Company’s account.

He was not short on money at all now.

The gold mine project had earned him so much, "The Battle Tiger" had brought in a good sum, and his investments in the stock and futures markets were making money every day.

Dongyan Guild and Shuidilao were like money-sucking behemoths, bringing a continuous inflow of funds every day.

It could be said that unless it was a project requiring an enormous outlay, he was ready to invest whenever he wanted.

...

Driving the Bentley King, Shen Dong arrived at the high-speed train station with Chen Yuyan.

His parents were arriving in Hai City today.

They had sold the small building materials shop back home and dealt with everything that needed settling; now, they were coming to Hai City.

The two had planned to first visit their son and daughter-in-law in Hai City, then go on a nationwide tour.

Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan hadn’t been at the exit for long when they saw their parents coming out.

"Dad, Mom."

Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan immediately walked over and took the luggage.

"Son, Yuyan."

Shen Hong and Qin Zhang were overjoyed to see their son and daughter-in-law.

Once they were in the car, the Bentley King left the station.

Shen Hong and Qin Zhang were looking out at the busy streets and towering buildings.

"Hai City is really different, so prosperous," Qin Zhang couldn’t help exclaiming.

"Indeed, it’s worthy of being the top metropolis in Dragon Country," Shen Hong agreed.

"Mom and Dad, it’s lunchtime now, you must be hungry, I’ll take you to eat," Shen Dong said with a smile.

"We are a bit hungry, take us to Shuidilao," Shen Hong said.

"Right, right, let’s go to Shuidilao, not any other place," Qin Zhang nodded incessantly.

They both loved hot pot, and since Shuidilao was their son’s establishment, their first meal in Hai City naturally had to be there.

Plus, they were looking forward to experiencing the ultimate service Shuidilao was famous for online.

"No problem," Shen Dong had no objections and found the nearest Shuidilao.

There were queues at every branch.

Seeing so many people lined up, Shen Hong and Qin Zhang were beaming with joy.

The better the business, the more their son was earning.

Shen Dong called the manager to come out and they entered through the back door, into a private room.

Lunch continued until two in the afternoon.

After leaving Shuidilao, Qin Zhang was full of praise, "This service is unparalleled; we got a free manicure while eating hot pot, and it’s even better than the specialized shops in our county."

"Xiaodong, with Shuidilao offering such extensive services and sometimes giving gifts to kids, how are the profits?" Shen Hong asked.

At this, Qin Zhang also looked at her son.

Shen Dong smiled slightly, "Mom and Dad, the profits are quite good. The net profit for Shuidilao in the four major first-tier cities last month was over 56 million, and that was with the other three cities only having been open for half a month. This month’s net profit should break a hundred million."

"What, a hundred million!" Shen Hong and Qin Zhang both exclaimed.

My goodness!

One hundred million in a month!

This was something they didn’t even dare to dream of before.

Not to mention earning a hundred million in a month, even in their whole lifetime, they couldn’t earn that much.

They took a deep breath to steady their emotions.

After a while, Shen Hong asked again, "What about that live streaming and short video company of yours?"

Shen Dong laughed, "I’ll let your daughter-in-law answer that, she’s the chief financial officer."

He couldn’t always be the one talking to his parents, he needed to give his wife a chance.

The two of them looked at Chen Yuyan.

Chen Yuyan smiled, "Mom and Dad, the net profit for Dongyan Guild last month was 73,636,367 yuan."

She remembered clearly, even reciting the figures after the decimal.

Unlike Shen Dong, who only remembered the part before it.

"What, over 70 million!"

Shen Hong and Qin Zhang exclaimed again.

My goodness!

It’s even higher than the net profit of Shuidilao.

But, as their son had said, Shuidilao should be able to reach a hundred million this month, which means it’s still the more lucrative business.

Even so, the figures were shockingly high for them.

In their usual news-watching, they only felt that their son’s company was doing well, but they never imagined it was doing this well.

The Shen family’s ancestors must be showing their blessings with such a wealthy son.
