Huayu: From the Era of Ringtones to Becoming a Legend

Zheng Wutong and Zheng Dongrong exchanged a glance, and their originally serious faces gradually showed relieved smiles.

Zheng Wutong spoke first, his tone calm:

"You're quite honest, kid. I could tell yesterday. I didn't say anything then because I was waiting for you to confess!"

Zheng Dongrong nodded with a smile:

"That's right. Since you two are truly in love, we, as your elders, will naturally give our full support."

"Once you're done with these things, pick a time to come to our house formally so we can sit down and discuss things properly, finalize your marriage with Shuyi, and choose an auspicious date for your engagement."

As Zheng Shuyi's father, Zheng Dongrong was even more excited than Zheng Wutong and was even more eager to finalize the matter between the two.

He had been searching for a son-in-law as outstanding as Lu Jiuge for several years, but had not found a second one.

Lu Jiuge was overjoyed and quickly nodded:

"Okay, thank you, sir, thank you, Uncle Zheng. I will prepare as soon as possible and will not let Shuyi down."

……

As the three were talking, the car drove into Hong Kong.

"We've arrived. Let's go; the planning meeting is about to begin."

Zheng Wutong pushed open the car door and got out first.

Lu Jiuge and Zheng Dongrong followed behind and entered the conference hall.

In the spacious conference hall, leaders at all levels of Xiangjiang Mansion and business representatives were already seated, and the atmosphere was warm and lively.

The three were guided to their seats by staff, and the planning meeting officially began a few minutes later.

The main leaders of Hong Kong government took turns speaking, demonstrating the government's determination.

The core message is to emphasize the need to vigorously promote the development and construction of the former Kai Tak Airport site, creating a new urban landmark for Hong Kong.

After seven or eight leaders finished speaking, the head of the Hong Kong government looked at Zheng Wutong and politely began to speak:

"Mr. Zheng, you are a leading figure in Hong Kong's business community and the largest landholder in our planned new district. Everyone wants to hear your insights."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Wutong waved his hand without hesitation and looked at Lu Jiuge beside him:

"I entrusted Xiao Lu with the entire planning of the Kai Tak site. He knows all the details better than I do, so let him speak."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Lu Jiuge.

Lu Jiuge was not intimidated. She slowly stood up, took the microphone handed to her by the staff, and began to explain her planning concept.

The core objective is to develop the Kai Tak area into Hong Kong's second Central District, creating a top-tier urban core area that integrates commerce, entertainment, finance, and residence, thereby driving economic development in the entire region and even the whole of Hong Kong.

His planning was clear, his vision grand, and every sentence hit the nail on the head. But as soon as he finished speaking, the room was instantly divided into two factions.

Some leaders nodded frequently, expressing their approval of his plan and finding it highly feasible.

Another group of leaders shook their heads, believing that the plan was too aggressive and did not conform to the overall planning rhythm.

As soon as the opposition leader finished speaking, the guests and representatives attending the planning meeting echoed his sentiments.

After scanning the scene, Lu Jiuge instantly understood that the opposition leaders were mostly people affiliated with those businessmen, and their purpose was clear: to oppose her.

Having assessed the situation, Lu Jiuge remained calm and showed no sign of panic.

Once the murmurs subsided, he spoke again:

"The government departments have their own considerations, but I have already made plans. The land that I and the Zheng family jointly acquired accounts for half of the total land area of ​​the planning area."

My goal remains unchanged! As for the plans for Hong Kong Mansion, you can consider them yourselves!

Lu Jiuge and Zheng Wutong exchanged a glance, and Lu Jiuge added:

"Here, I would also like to take this opportunity to announce a decision: Qianxing Investment plans to invest one trillion yuan in this region over the next ten years!"

Zheng Wutong glanced at Zheng Dongrong, who understood and, following the plan they had discussed in the car, stood up and said:

"The Cheng Group will also invest over HK$1 trillion in the Kai Tak Airport site!"

After Zheng Dongrong finished speaking, the conference room erupted in uproar.

The real estate developers sitting in the front row all gasped in surprise, and the discussion grew louder and louder.

"One trillion? The Zheng family invested over a trillion? Are these two crazy?"

"With half the land in the entire planning area, plus this amount of investment, they're really going to treat Kai Tak as the next Central!"

"What should we do? Should we still object?"

……

On the leadership panel, the leaders of Hong Kong government whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with undisguised shock and excitement.

The leaders who had initially spearheaded the opposition now seemed to have wavered, judging from their expressions.

Lu Jiuge took in the reactions of the Hong Kong government leaders and a smile appeared on her lips.

This is exactly the effect he wanted!

Money is just a number; the power to speak is the real issue.

After glancing at the diverse expressions on the faces of the crowd, Lu Jiuge decided to unleash her ultimate move:

"Distinguished leaders, I have a suggestion."

"If Hong Kong government feels that my planning proposal is too advanced or too idealistic, or that the plan is too risky."

"I propose the best solution: entrust the entire planning area to Qianxing Capital for operation. If, within ten years, we fail to create a second Central Ring Road on this land and fail to achieve our expected goals..."

All the expenses invested by Qianxing Capital, including all infrastructure investment, will be given to Xiangjiang Mansion free of charge—not a single penny!

After he finished speaking, the scene fell silent once again.

Then, an even more intense discussion erupted!

"My God! This is a gamble with everything they have!"

"Give it away for free? How is that possible! Isn't he afraid of losing everything?"

"Is this confidence genuine or just youthful arrogance?"

Zheng Wutong frowned slightly, clearly taken aback by this sudden proposal. He turned his head and whispered:

"Xiao Lu! You didn't mention this plan to me before, it's too risky!"

Infrastructure investment is astronomical. If the Hong Kong government agrees, it could bankrupt Qianxing Capital in three years, let alone ten!

Lu Jiuge sat down and whispered in Zheng Wutong's ear:

"Grandpa, the pie I've promised will definitely be snapped up; it won't be a flop, and I'll foot the bill myself!"

Zheng Wutong still didn't understand and looked at him with a puzzled expression:

Tell me more!

Lu Jiuge smiled and said:

"Think about it, there's not much land available for commercial development in Xiangjiang Mansion to begin with. If the entire planned area is handed over to us for operation, they'll be completely put in a passive position!"

"How could these proud and arrogant businessmen possibly agree?"

Lu Jiuge whispered to Zheng Wutong and Zheng Dongrong, which caused an uproar among the real estate developers present, who all stood up to object.

"Absolutely not! If we hand over the entire planning area to you, how are we supposed to survive?"

"That's right, if this kid succeeds, he'll have our lifeline in his hands!"

"Yes, land reserves are the lifeblood of us real estate developers!"

……

The meeting room instantly erupted into a heated debate.

Like other real estate developers, the leaders of Xiangjiang Mansion also gathered together and discussed countermeasures in hushed tones.

Ten minutes later, the head of the Hong Kong government raised his hand to press down the microphone and spoke:

"Alright, everyone, please be quiet."

"Now, I announce the final decision of Hong Kong!"
