Chapter 402: Chapter 402 Resonance of Ambition_1

However, building trust is not that easy.

Shen Dong first agreed, then tactfully declined, "Right now, there’s a more pressing matter that requires your performance. I’ve taken on a poverty alleviation project at Hai City Bay. We are investing real money; there can be no mistakes."

Kang Yue, sharp as ever, guessed Shen Dong’s intention immediately and said straightforwardly, "You’re asking for a pledge of loyalty, no problem."

"But, you have to tell me your development strategy."

"Keep a low profile, forsake three years’ profits, and forge a marvel to astonish the world." Shen Dong didn’t even realize, as he spoke, he radiated an aura of looking down upon the world, which made Kang Yue’s heart flutter in that instant.

This was not love, but a resonance of ambition.

Nobody knew Kang Yue’s true intentions, but she made a resounding vow, "So, you need at least two years of revolving funds. I’ve investigated the ZD model; you can provide up to fifty percent returns in two years at most, right?"

"Correct."

Confidence bloomed in Kang Yue’s smile, "Having a generous client will make everything simpler."

"Can I make the decisions?"

"Except for Chen Yuyan, you don’t have to follow anyone else’s orders, but, I’m going to plant a listening device on you," Shen Dong said, observing the changes in Kang Yue’s expression.

Kang Yue’s expression really was rich; she pouted as if she were an aggrieved baby, "What about when I bathe and sleep?"

"I’ll have a woman eavesdrop."

"No way," Kang Yue flatly refused, and as Shen Dong looked puzzled, she suddenly smiled seductively.

Her finger trailed from Shen Dong’s jaw, whispering softly, "It would be better if you listened to my personal life."

Shen Dong leapt up reflexively, avoiding Kang Yue, and warned, "Stop messing around, I have a girlfriend."

Giggle.

Kang Yue’s bell-like laughter halted in an instant as the door opened.

She followed behind Shen Dong, head bowed, looking pitiful. That demeanor, coupled with a soft sniffle, tugged at the heartstrings of anyone who glanced her way.

"Leukemia, incurable." Chen Yuyan clearly already consulted, and seeing Kang Yue’s pitiable appearance, showed compassion.

Shen Dong glanced left and right, then beckoned Chen Yuyan over.

Chen Yuyan frowned, "What’s the matter, being so secretive?"

With that, Chen Yuyan lifted her hair and leaned in.

Shen Dong whispered, "Don’t ask too much; this woman is talented, especially in marketing. Publicly, just remember the identity she’s assumed, and that’s enough."

After hearing this, Chen Yuyan’s smile was so broad it was ridiculous; she tilted her head to look at Kang Yue and said coldly, "As you wish."

Obviously, Chen Yuyan didn’t believe it, and who would? It’s hard enough to understand meeting a young genius, and now another suddenly appears—what, are geniuses banding together these days?

But after the meeting with the four of them, when Kang Yue verbalized her plans regarding the Hai City poverty alleviation and investment attraction program, Chen Yuyan’s attitude changed completely.

Chen Yuyan even took out a notebook, asking Kang Yue questions like a student.

Seeing this, Shen Dong also felt relieved. He patted Zhou Chengyu, who was dozing off, and sat down on a stool in the street.

"Where did this one come from, looking even more knowledgeable than Chen Yuyan?" Zhou Chengyu didn’t understand, but he could tell.

Shen Dong clasped his head in his hands, looking at the stars, "As long as she’s one of us that’s enough. Once she completes the plan, Chengyu, take her to the leaders’ office. The land by the seaport won’t be cheaper than it is today; even if we don’t have the money to develop it, we must seize it."

"Wang Xiaocong has money," Zhou Chengyu suddenly cast a sidelong glance at Shen Dong.

He straightened the stool, staring at Shen Dong, "Tell me the truth, what kind of enchantment have you used on Wang Xiaocong that he’d give his all and put up his fortune to go all in with you?"

"He told you?" he asked, "Did he mention how much capital he has?" Shen Dong had agreed to a profit of two billion but hadn’t yet asked Wang Xiaocong how much principal he had.

Zhou Chengyu held up a finger and said with exaggerated emphasis, "One billion plus a property of 2,600 square meters in the capital."

"Really?" Shen Dong was genuinely astonished.

He immediately took out his phone and effortlessly dialed Wang Xiaocong’s number, realizing this guy was a rich landowner.

"Hey, Mr. Shen?" Wang Xiaocong’s tone suggested he didn’t mind the kneeling incident.

Before Shen Dong could speak, Wang Xiaocong began to beat around the bush, "I’m in Hai City now. I didn’t dare to look for you since you didn’t say anything."

"Take a taxi, come to Silver Moonlight."

It wasn’t long before Wang Xiaocong arrived.

Wang Xiaocong knew how to conduct himself; as soon as they met, he reported, "Mr. Shen, you can rest assured about that matter in Jing City. There will not be the slightest issue. The fifty million investment is my buddy’s way of apologizing. His family does have some money. If you come across a good project, you should take him under your wing."

He directly started with flattering words, and such a person deserved to be well-liked.

"I’ll start with you," Shen Dong pointed at Zhou Chengyu and laughed, "Chengyu says your family’s worth is in the nine digits?"

Wang Xiaocong let out a chuckle, pursed his lips, and squatted in front of Shen Dong, "I won’t lie to you, my family was indeed wealthy. Although we couldn’t make it onto the Hurun Rich List, we were still significant in our own right. But now, we’ve gone bankrupt."

"With the final deadline, two billion, I could get some things back."

"A prince in distress," Shen Dong felt moved and mockingly saluted Wang Xiaocong.

Wang Xiaocong let out a ’hi’, waving his hand and said desolately, "When times are good, it’s hard to tell who’s a friend. When times are bad, it becomes clear at a glance."

"I’m not going to hide it from you; this bit of net worth was pieced together by friends."

Shen Dong found it quite ironic as he listened. In his previous life when he was penniless, borrowing three to five hundred was doable, but anything over two thousand was basically impossible.

The rich folk, saying they have no friends, could borrow hundreds of millions.

Of course, it wasn’t that easy; perhaps it was through mortgaging antiques and real estate.

Shen Dong pondered his response and after a while said, "Twenty times the return in two years, even Buffett might not be able to do it. Do you really trust me?"

"I wouldn’t deceive you."

"You’re aware the National Day is coming up, right?" Shen Dong thought about the time and frowned, "It seems I have no choice but to make a trip."

"Where to?"

Shen Dong glanced sideways at Wang Xiaocong and hesitated for a long time before deciding not to tell him about the gold matter.

He put his hand on Wang Xiaocong’s shoulder and said seriously, "Once your money is in the account, I will immediately have the old man trade for you, trust me, and prepare some more funds."

"Okay, I’ll take care of that right away!"

"Come back!" Shen Dong saw Wang Xiaocong rushing off in a fuss and shouted in annoyance.

He pointed to the bright starry sky and scolded, "In the middle of the night, what can you possibly take care of? Come on, let me introduce you to a couple of ’C’s, the lower the warehouse position, the lower the risk rate.

Use three billion as capital, a 30% warehouse position is equivalent to trading with ninety million, you won’t be blown out easily.

Mulling it over, Shen Dong and the others arrived at a small hot pot restaurant, and the aroma wafted out as soon as they opened the door.

"Wow, that smells great." Wang Xiaocong glanced around and found Shen Dong a seat. Just as he was about to lead Shen Dong there, Wang Shengli came to greet them.

Wang Shengli seemed younger, and his smile was much more decent, "Mr. Shen, are you here to inspect?"
