Since Li Hualong became a shareholder of Hang Seng Bank, Hualong Real Estate, Evergrande Group, Jiuan Group and Huayi Brothers have all become important customers of Hang Seng Bank.

At the beginning of the establishment of Holiday Inn Co., Ltd., it did not immediately take out loans from banks, and only after spending 6 million funds did it start to borrow from banks, of which 2 million Hong Kong dollars were provided by Hang Seng Bank, and the other 10 million Hong Kong dollars were provided by other banks.

Although Li Hualong became a shareholder of Hang Seng Bank, he did not reject cooperating with other banks, he felt that as long as he could borrow money from the bank, he would make money, and the interest on bank loans was nothing compared to the rich return on investment.

At the beginning of September, Li Hualong, who was just about to go out to work, received a call from He Shanheng.

"Aaron, are you free today?"

"Uncle He has something to do with me, I must be free." Li Hualong smiled, "What's the matter?" ”

"I intend to increase the registered capital of Hang Seng, what do you think?"

"Good idea, I agree." Li Hualong said without hesitation.

"Shareholders need to put new money into Hang Seng."

"Yes." Li Hualong smiled, "Recently, I have enough funds in my hand, how much money do I need to invest?" ”

"Are you interested in increasing your stake?" He Shanheng asked with a smile.

"Interested." Li Hualong paused and continued, "Uncle He, I'll go to Hang Seng Bank later, and we'll meet and talk." ”

"Okay."

An hour later, Li Hualong met Ho Shanheng in the office of the chairman of Hang Seng Bank.

After more than ten minutes of conversation, Li Hualong and He Shanheng agreed that Hang Seng would increase the registered capital to 30 million Hong Kong dollars, the paid-in capital of about 15 million Hong Kong dollars, and the company's total share capital reached 30 million shares.

Before the increase in registered capital, the market value of Hang Seng Bank was HK$10 million, and all shareholders injected a total of HK$5 million into Hang Seng Bank.

Li Hualong injected 3 million Hong Kong dollars into Hang Seng Bank, and his stake in Hang Seng Bank increased to 30%, the total share capital of Hang Seng Bank was 30 million shares, and he personally held 9 million shares, of which 3 million shares could not be exercised for the time being, and these shares could only be exercised after the listing of Hang Seng Bank or 15 years.

Li Hualong holds 3 million shares of Hang Seng Bank, and the reason why he has no voting rights is proposed by other shareholders, in order to reduce Li Hualong's influence in Hang Seng Bank, Li Hualong is not disgusted by this, after all, he does not have much energy to participate in the management of Hang Seng Bank for the time being, and he believes that the current management of Hang Seng Bank can manage the bank well.

……

One evening in mid-September, Li Hualong, who was working at the Ming Pao newspaper, received a phone call from Yang Meng.

"Aaron, I'm home. Are you home for dinner tonight? ”

"You're home, can I not go home for dinner!" Li Hualong smiled, "Mengmeng, do you miss me?" ”

"Yes." Yang Meng smiled sweetly, "What time do you get off work?" ”

"I still have some things to do here, and I guess I can finish it in half an hour."

"Then I won't bother you with your work."

"Don't hang up the phone, let's talk a few more words."

"It costs money to call, so if you have anything to say, wait until you get home."

"Alright then, I'll see you later." Li Hualong smiled, but he didn't hang up the phone right away.

Yang Meng didn't hang up the phone first, was silent for a moment, and smiled: "I hung up the phone." ”

"Hang it!" Li Hualong waited for Yang Meng to hang up the phone before he put down the phone.

Half an hour later, Li Hualong left the newspaper office and returned home, where he saw his mother and Yang Meng sitting in the living room chatting.

"Grandma, my Abba hasn't gotten off work yet?" Li Hualong asked with a smile.

"It's only a few o'clock." Li Song smiled.

Li Hualong came to Yang Meng and sat down, and said with a smile: "Mengmeng, when we talked on the phone last night, why didn't you tell me that you wanted to come back?" ”

"I saw a good script today, you see if you want to shoot it." Yang Meng picked up the script on the coffee table and handed it to Li Hualong.

"Then I'll see." Li Hualong glanced at it a few times, shook his head and said, "The script is not bad, but it can't be filmed." ”

"Why?" Yang Meng asked puzzled.

"Mengmeng, haven't you noticed that our Huayi brothers are neither left nor right, remain neutral, and never shoot movies with political colors, if we invest in making this movie, we will definitely offend leftists."

"I don't think you're the kind of person who is afraid of offending people, there are many articles with political tendencies in "Ming Pao", and I also see that you have written this kind of article, although you use a pen name, outsiders don't know that you have written these articles, but "Ming Pao" is your industry, and outsiders know it."

"Ming Pao is different from a film company."

"I don't think it's any different."

"How can you say it......" Li Hualong smiled bitterly, "It's not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences." Now most of the films produced by Huayi Brothers Pictures can be released in Taiwan as well as in the mainland, which is also good, and I don't want to break the status quo. ”

"I've heard people say that the Taiwan authorities have demanded that films that are not invested in the production of zuò by film companies that do not join the 'freedom camp' cannot be released in Taiwan."

"We'll talk about that later."

Li Hualong has heard about this, he believes that this kind of thing will happen, and he has already made a decision in his heart that Huayi Brothers Film Group will join the "free camp" in the future, but his current attitude is to delay it for as long as he can.

In the next few decades, Taiwan's political situation will be stable, the economy will develop rapidly, and Hong Kong film companies will make a lot of money in Taiwan, while the mainland, the political situation will change, and if it is too close to the mainland, he is not only afraid of losing the Taiwan market, but also afraid of being suppressed by the Hong Kong government.

Although he wanted to "make money" in Taiwan in the future, Li Hualong never thought of investing in making some "anti-communist" films with a clear theme in order to curry favor with the Taiwan authorities.

As for the articles published in Ming Pao criticizing some policies in the mainland, they will not be put on the platform, nor will they be broadened.

In fact, Li Hualong also thought about letting Huayi Brothers Film Group go out of business and not get involved in the dispute between the left and right, but if he thinks about it carefully, he really doesn't need to do this, even if he loses both the Taiwan and mainland markets, he believes that his film company can still make money.

Li Hualong knows that in the 30-odd years, whether it is the mainland or Taiwan, the authorities will reflect on some of the things they have done wrong in the past, and as long as he does not take a clear side, when the reform and opening up of the mainland is carried out, he will donate a large amount of money to the mainland and invest in the development of industries in the mainland, and he will certainly win the friendship and support of the central and high-level leaders.

Li Hualong thought that even if he did not go to the mainland to do business in the future, it would not be difficult for him to become the richest man in the world, and he estimated that by the late 70s, his personal assets would definitely reach billions of dollars, and if his companies were all listed, he would be able to mobilize a large amount of capital, and his assets would grow like a snowball.

After the reform and opening up, he donated a large amount of money to the mainland's education undertakings, and of course, he also wanted to do business in the mainland in the future, because after all, many of the ideas in his mind to make money were completed in the mainland.

For the future development, Li Hualong has a huge plan in his heart, he hopes that he will be able to have more children in the future, and he has considered this, some children stay in Hong Kong, some children join the nationality of the United States, and some children join the nationality of the mainland.

Li Hualong knows very well in his heart that the United States seems to be very open, but if a foreigner wants to invest in the United States, many fields are closed, for example, the United States law prohibits non-United States citizens from owning newspapers and television stations at the same time, and Murdoch, who was born in Australia, had to join the nationality of the United States in order to build his own television network.

Not only the United States, but also the mainland, before joining the WTO, although the mainland government gave a lot of preferential policies in order to attract foreign investment, many fields were not open to foreign investment, even after joining the WTO, some fields still did not change the situation.

……

That night, as soon as Li Hualong had dinner, he said that he wanted to go back to the house to write an article, and Yang Meng also followed him upstairs.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, Li Hualong took Yang Meng in his arms and kissed her on the lips.

"Mengmeng, I want to kill you!"

"I miss you too."

Li Hualong and Yang Meng haven't seen each other for three days, and they both have a fire of desire burning in their hearts.

Xiao Bisheng was newly married, and after some passion, both of them had happy expressions on their faces.

"Aaron, do you think Lin Dai is beautiful, or is Lottie beautiful?"

"It's all pretty but not as beautiful as my wife." Li Hualong smiled and kissed Yang Meng's face, "Why do you ask this question, is there anyone comparing you with them?" ”

"Now some people say that Huayi Brothers has three princesses, ranked by age, I am the eldest princess, Lin Dai is the second princess, and Leti is the third princess." Yang Meng smiled.

"I've heard that." Li Hualong smiled, "Compared to you, they are much worse. ”

"Really?"

"It's more real than pearls." Li Hualong smiled, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Yang Meng was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "I think they admire you a lot, if you want, you can take their concubines." ”

"What are you talking about?" Li Hualong pretended to be displeased, "We are still old, so we are not in a hurry for any children." ”

Li Hualong and Yang Meng have gone to the hospital to check their bodies before, but no problems have been found, and with Li Hualong's understanding of the current medical level in Hong Kong, many infertility diseases are difficult to diagnose.

"We've been together for almost four years."

"If I really marry Lin Dai and Lettie, aren't you sad?" Li Hualong teased.

"Sad, of course sad." Yang Meng saw Li Hualong with a smile on his face, she pursed her mouth, stretched out her hand and twisted Li Hualong's waist twice, and said angrily, "Don't laugh." ”

"My wife asked me to take a concubine, as a man, I should be happy, don't laugh, do you cry?" Li Hualong said with a smile.

"I know you're a big carrot." Yang Meng raised his powder fist and hit Li Hualong's chest.
