Chapter 422: Tingting's Mind
Since Li Yadong took over the Jaguar brand, he has hardly made any adjustments to the brand, what Jaguar was a year ago, and what it is basically the same now, so when it is sold, it is very convenient, at least than when the American North Company acquired it from the British government, it is much more trouble-free.
Li Yadong handed over these matters to Huang Deping, and the first thing he did after receiving a full transfer of $2.68 billion from the Ford Group was to repay the $1.3 billion loan from UBS.
This made his client level at UBS instantly upgraded to a higher level, from the original diamond level to platinum, and the credit line was also greatly increased, from $1.3 billion to $2 billion.
This also means that as long as Li Yadong is willing, and on the premise that the group company is operating normally, he will be able to borrow $2 billion from UBS at any time for turnover.
It is worth mentioning that in this era, the Chinese government's credit line with the World Bank is not so high.
This thing is good, if you really want to encounter something, you can respond to emergencies. However, Li Yadong thinks that he should not be able to use this credit limit for a while, after all, the interest is really not low.
After paying off the bank loan, there is still more than 1.3 billion of the 2.68 billion left, plus his remaining savings of nearly 300 million US dollars, aside from the Dongfanghong Group, his current liquidity is as high as more than 1.6 billion US dollars, which can be described as a truly rich country.
Li Yadong calculated the accounts, if there is no other hidden secret, his current total wealth value should be basically the same as Li Chaoren, about 20 billion Hong Kong dollars.
What does this mean?
It means that he is just around the corner from becoming the richest man in China.
Can Superman Lee make money faster than him?
To be honest, he really doesn't believe it, he's just been running away for decades.
……
Li Yadong knows very well in his heart that as soon as the acquisition of Jaguar by Ford Group is made public, he will return to the center of public opinion, and some troubles will follow, so he has to deal with Tingting's "early love" problem as soon as he is a little free recently.
Taiping Mountain, Li Family Villa.
It's night.
After dinner, the family still wanted to watch the video in the living room on the first floor as usual, watching the movie, chatting and enjoying the after-dinner fruit, and enjoying the fruit.
"Tingting, take me for a walk in the garden, I have something to say to you. Li Yadong didn't get into the women's pile, stood behind the sofa and said.
"What's the matter, little uncle, what about watching a movie, can't you say it after watching it?" For other people in the villa, watching movies may just be watching movies, but for Li Tingting, it is a kind of learning and longing, so she has always been very serious about watching movies. Some pouted unhappily and suggested.
"Very important things. ”
Li Tingting glanced at him, looking a little suspicious, but still said "oh", then took out the small pink slippers from under the sofa, pouted and stood up, and stuffed the half-bitten apple in his hand into Erbao's arms.
Erbao looked at the dog and gnawed on the ordinary apple, with a helpless face, and said in his heart: Sister, don't treat me as a garbage can, this is not when I am in the village, there are delicious foods everywhere, and it is not uncommon for me to bite like this.
While no one was looking, he sneaked the apple under the sofa.
Back garden.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Li Tingting suddenly felt that the temperature outside was a little cold, but she regretted not wearing a coat.
"Little uncle, what's the important matter?" she leaned over and took Li Yadong's hand and asked with a smile.
"I went to your school today. ”
"Huh?" Li Tingting's footsteps paused slightly, a trace of panic flashed on her pretty face, and she said weakly: "You...... What are you doing at our school?"
"It's not a special trip, it's just passing by. Li Yadong looked ahead, but Quan Dang didn't notice her strangeness.
"Oh. Li Tingting quietly stuck out her tongue and let out a long breath.
"But I saw you outside the school, and I wanted to get out of the car to say hello to you, and when I saw someone next to you, forget it. ”
"Yes...... Really?"
As soon as Li Yadong heard her tone, he knew that he was right-men and women in love, they just went to the beach to swim during the holiday, and they have already faded some of their shyness, and if there is no accident, the relationship will become more intimate.
He is also guessing, in fact, where did he go to the Academy of Performing Arts today?
The reason why he wants to weave this lie is completely to protect the relationship between Tingting and Wang Huizhen - if he directly tells the truth, Tingting will inevitably think that Wang Huizhen betrayed herself, and the two will definitely have a gap, which is not conducive to her safety, Li Yadong doesn't want things to develop like this.
In all fairness, Wang Huizhen is a very good personal bodyguard, and her relationship with Tingting is also handled very well, and she is usually commensurate with sisters, and once she loses, it will be difficult to find a better candidate.
"That boy, I see that you have a very close relationship with him, right...... Classmates?"
Li Tingting's pretty face turned red instantly, and she subconsciously withdrew her hand from the inside of Li Yadong's arm, standing in place with her head down, not daring to speak.
She didn't expect that she was so secretive, but she was discovered by her little uncle, and she really responded to the old saying "If you want people to know, you can't do it unless you don't do it".
"Huh?" Li Yadong turned to look at her.
"Yes......" Li Tingting's voice was faint.
"Just classmates?" asked Li Yadong.
He was answered with a burst of tears.
Li Tingting's mood at the moment is very complicated, like a child who has stolen something and is discovered by her parents, but subconsciously thinks that something is ownerless, and she should be qualified to "steal".
Li Yadong sighed and said: "Tingting, don't blame the little uncle for being lenient, since your parents entrusted you to me, I have the obligation to take care of you, you should know your father's character very well, he will definitely not allow you to talk to someone during your study, this practice is right or wrong, I will not comment, but since the eldest brother does not allow it, I can't condone it, otherwise it will be my fault." Can you understand my uncle's distress?"
"Woo...... I...... I know. Li Tingting nodded with a crying voice.
"You like him?"
He ...... Very good. ”
Li Yadong shook his head with a wry smile, took out a blue plaid handkerchief from his trouser pocket, wiped her tears for her, and pulled her to sit down on the lawn.
"Silly girl, let's avoid the topic of that boy, let's ignore your future, your dream is to become a big star, right?"
"Hmm. Li Tingting still lowered her head, hugged her knees with her hands, and sobbed softly.
"Have you thought about it, talking about the object is a taboo for celebrities. Even those celebrities who have been famous for a long time don't dare to deal with objects easily, and some who already have objects have to hide them, for fear of being known by others. And while you are still struggling on this road, you are punished...... I'll use an inappropriate analogy, this is tantamount to a dose of poison for your dreams, you may only need to spend three points of effort to achieve your dreams, but after having a partner, I am afraid that you may not be able to achieve your dreams with only thirty points of effort. You...... Can you really give up your dreams for him?"
Li Yadong's remarks are by no means alarmist, and the conservative atmosphere endowed by the characteristics of the times is unavoidable; in this era, not only the mainland is conservative, but Hong Kong, the United States, and perhaps any other country are actually the same compared to 30 years later, but the degree of conservatism is different.
But even thirty years later, celebrity love issues are taboo in the entertainment industry, let alone this era.
Everyone should have heard of a term called "Jade Girl", and there is something like "Jade Girl Head". These are all unique terms in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in this era.
Why is such a term appearing?
The reason is very simple, the gimmick of an entertainment company, because of the "girl who is clear and jade", is more likely to be loved by the public.
The psychology of fans is very simple: their goddess or male god, even if he knows that he can't get it, he doesn't want others to get it, and it would be best if he (she) could not marry (marry) for the rest of his life.
On the contrary, it is difficult for a star who already has an object to be loved by more people.
Without him, because the goddess or the male god already has a master, they have no hope and no conjecture.
This is also the reason why many people in the entertainment industry gradually stop singing after getting married - most of them are not voluntary, but forced.
Li Tingting actually has an unparalleled advantage, with Li Yadong, the uncle of the entertainment company BOSS, as long as she is a little self-disciplined: maintain a good figure, take care of her appearance, pay attention to the relationship between the opposite sex, and become famous in one fell swoop is almost a proper thing.
Li Yadong has always believed in this - with Tingting's conditions, he can easily make her popular.
But if she doesn't restrain herself and does something that damages her star career, such as dealing with an object, or more seriously, cohabiting, then even if Li Yadong has the ability to formulate the best movie role for her and write the best song for her, if the audience doesn't like it, it will be in vain after all.
To put it bluntly, the so-called stars are actually based on fans.
If you have a fan base, you are a star, and the number of fans is a measure of how popular you are and how valuable you are.
"I ......" Li Tingting was a little speechless for a while, and her expression looked very painful.
To be honest, she didn't think about it so much when she chose to accept this relationship, that guy was very good to her, yes, she was a little tempted, that's all.
It wasn't until I heard my little uncle say these words at this moment that I suddenly realized that such a choice had such a great impact on my dreams.
Li Yadong didn't urge her, gave her enough time to think about it, just looked at her quietly, and put on a look of waiting for the next thing.
He needs an answer, and he needs to understand what Tingting really thinks in order to determine his next plan.
Li Tingting struggled in her heart for a long time, subconsciously trying to forget him, even if it was just for a moment, but it was a pity...... She failed after all, and the face as warm as the winter sun was engraved in her mind, as if it would never be dissipated.
She knew that she was probably hopeless......
Suddenly closed his eyes, let the two lines of tears slide down his cheeks on their own, gritted his teeth and said, "He...... If you want to marry me, I ...... I can not be a star. ”
"Silly child...... Li Yadong touched her head lovingly, just like when he was a child, and said softly, "You don't have to answer me in such a hurry, why don't you go back to sleep first, and then tell me the answer tomorrow?"
"Nope. Surprisingly, Li Tingting did not hesitate at all this time, and shook her head firmly, "No, I have already thought clearly." Uncle, you're going to help me, aren't you?"
After she said this, she looked at Li Yadong with big tears and a look of anticipation.
Li Yadong naturally understood what her so-called "help" was, and sighed, "I can't answer you this question for the time being, I know your mind, but I don't know anything about that boy." Whether he can reach this level of affection for you is still unknown, but I have to wait until I get to know him first. What do you think?"
"Hmm!" Li Tingting nodded vigorously, the little uncle did not refuse directly, it means that there is hope for this matter, as long as he is willing to help, then this matter can definitely be done, patted his chest and replied: "Don't worry, little uncle, he must like me a lot more, he said that he is willing to do everything for me, last time I joked that he let him jump into the sea, he actually really jumped from a rock several meters high, almost scared me to death, hehe......"
Li Yadong looked at the happy smile on Tingting's face and smiled the same, but there was a bit of worry hidden in this smile.
Obviously, she loves her deeply, and if that boy is really good, that's it. What if not?
How sad should Tingting be......
Young man you'd better not disappoint me, young man I've never met.
I'm ready for you to even fight against my eldest brother, if you lose me and Tingting, how can you let me spare you?8)
