Chapter 127: Mutual Benefit
After the meeting, Feng Bingfen returned to her office, drank a few sips of tea, thought for a while, and made a call to Li Hualong.
That morning, after Feng Bingfen had breakfast at home, he called Li Hualong, and he learned from Li Hualong that Li Hualong would go to work at Hualong Real Estate Company today, and got the phone number of the assistant to the chairman of Hualong Real Estate Company's office.
After Li Hualong's assistant received Feng Bingfen's call, he directly transferred the call to Li Hualong's office. Before, as soon as Li Hualong arrived at the office, he told his assistant that Feng Bingfen might call and ask the assistant to help him transfer the phone.
Answering the phone, Feng Bingfen smiled and said: "Mr. Li, I have good news for you, just now the board of directors of the Chinese Real Estate Company voted to accept your shareholding conditions." β
"Good news!" Li Hualong said happily, "Mr. Feng, from now on, we will be a partnership. β
"Who said no, in the future, we will definitely have a lot of opportunities to cooperate, and please take care of Mr. Li more."
"Mr. Feng, you are too polite, you are a senior in the business world, you need to give more ......"
The two of them exchanged a few polite words on the phone, and Li Hualong smiled and said, "Mr. Feng, I have time at noon today, I want to invite you to a light meal." β
"There's time."
"Then let's go to the Holiday Inn, I'll book a private room."
"Okay, I'll be over at half past eleven, and we'll talk when we meet."
"Goodbye."
Li Hualong hung up the phone, reached out and touched the beard on his chin, with some smiles on his face, and muttered: "The land of the Chinese bank is good, and it will be merged with Pedder Bank in the future, and it will be demolished and ......rebuilt."
Previously, as early as when Feng Bingfen took the initiative to discuss cooperation with Li Hualong, Li Hualong had the idea of annexing the Chinese Real Estate Company, and the "annexation" he was thinking of was not the acquisition of 100% of the company's equity. Rather, it acquires an absolute controlling stake in the company (more than 50% of the shares).
The headquarters of the Chinese Real Estate Company is located in the China Building, which is separated from the Holiday Inn by a theater, and the theater can only travel with people, but not to traffic, so it can be said that it is extremely convenient to get from the Chinese Building to the Holiday Inn.
Li Hualong's Hualong Real Estate Company is headquartered in Chinalong Building, which is located at the junction of Xuechang Street and Queen's Road Central, which was completed in 1960 and covers an area of more than 16,000 square feet with a total of 22 floors. The total gross floor area is over 350,000 square feet.
Wah Long Tower and Times Square are separated by a Queen's Road, and Times Square is separated from China Walk by Pedder Street.
Under normal circumstances, Li Hualong leaves the Hualong Building to go to the Holiday Inn for lunch, and if he has to go back to work in the afternoon, then he will choose to walk there, first across Queen's Road Central, walk more than 100 meters to the northwest, then cross Pedder Street, and then pass the road in front of the Chinese Hang. Walk through the theater and you'll arrive at the Holiday Inn.
Li Hualong planned to visit a construction site in the afternoon, and then drive home, he chose to take the car to the Holiday Inn for dinner.
Now. Li Hualong's assets and influence in Hong Kong far exceed Feng Bingfen, even the entire Feng family combined cannot compare to him.
This time, Li Hualong cooperated with Chinese Real Estate. He felt he had taken advantage.
Feng Bingfen said that he would go to the Holiday Inn at half past eleven, and Li Hualong was going to go ten minutes early in order to show respect for the other party. If Li Hualong really had a lot of things to do that morning, then he couldn't go to the hotel early, then he would talk to Feng Bingfen in advance and postpone the time for dinner.
Although Li Hualong didn't think there was much to do that morning, he still worked all morning and had almost no time to rest.
At around 11:10 a.m., Wu Lijie, Li Hualong's assistant at the Chinese Real Estate Company, came into his office and reported on some work matters.
After finishing speaking, Wu Lijie said: "Boss, you asked Feng Bingfen to have lunch together." β
Wu Lijie graduated from the Department of Architecture of the University of Hong Kong, he is Li Hualong's younger brother, two years lower, before Li Hualong graduated, he met Wu Lijie, because Wu Lijie's hometown is Ningbo, they met when they played basketball at school, and knew that each other was a fellow countryman, and they became friends.
When Wu Lijie graduated from university, Li Hualong was already a well-known young talent in Hong Kong, Li Hualong personally invited Wu Lijie to join the Chinese real estate company to work, Wu Lijie did not refuse, at the beginning, he will participate in the development of some real estate projects.
Later, Li Hualong found that Wu Lijie was very serious, very careful, and had strong execution, so he transferred Wu Lijie to serve as his assistant. More than ten years have passed, Wu Lijie has not moved in the position of assistant to the chairman, but his salary and his status in the company have improved a lot, and sometimes, his share of speech is heavier than that of the company's vice president.
"I almost forgot the time." Li Hualong smiled, put down the text in his hand, and looked at his watch, "It's not early, I should go to the hotel." Lijie, do you want to go with us? β
"No, I still have some things to attend to."
If Li Hualong invited Wu Lijie to have lunch with him in an affirmative tone, then Wu Lijie would definitely agree, Li Hualong asked him if he wanted to go together, Wu Lijie felt that Li Hualong didn't particularly want him to go to dinner together, so Wu Lijie politely refused.
In fact, Li Hualong didn't really want Wu Lijie to accompany him to lunch, which was related to Wu Lijie's work and position in the Chinese Real Estate Company, he was mainly internal, serving Li Hualong, and Wu Lijie didn't need to ask about who the Chinese Real Estate Company cooperated with.
At about 11:20 p.m. that day, Li Hualong came to the box of the Holiday Inn, sat down and drank two sips of tea, and Feng Bingfen appeared.
"Mr. Lee." Feng Bingfen entered the box and greeted him first.
"Mr. Feng, hello!" Li Hualong stood up with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to shake hands with Feng Bingfen, and stretched out his hand to invite, "Please take a seat." β
After sitting down, Li Hualong poured tea for Feng Bingfen and said, "Mr. Feng, I don't know what you want to eat, I haven't ordered yet, you look at the menu, you can order." β
"A fun www.biquge.info. Here, I often come to the Chinese Inn, next to the Holiday Inn. It's very convenient to come here to eat and put it. β
"Thank you, Mr. Feng, for taking care of Holiday Inn's business." Li Hualong said politely.
Li Hualong put down the teapot, Feng Bingfen thanked him, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, he was not in a hurry to order, he glanced at Li Hualong with a smile, and sighed: "Mr. Li, you took the Navy Dockyard plot alone, but it was really a big deal." β
"How can I have the strength to develop as a sole proprietorship, a piece of land is divided into twenty pieces. Only a small part of it is developed by myself, and I don't have a large stake in those joint venture projects," Li Hualong paused, took a sip ......of tea, and asked, "Mr. Feng, are you interested in those joint venture projects?" β
"I'm interested now, when Mr. Li was looking for a joint venture partner. I felt that the risk was too great, so I gave up and regretted it. β
"That's it!" Li Hualong smiled and pondered for a moment, "If Mr. Feng is really interested." I can take out a part of the shares of a joint venture project and transfer it to you, the price, the premium is 20%, which is how much money I invested before. You've got a two-fold markup. β
"The premium is two percent,......" Feng Bingfen thought for a while and asked, "Can you let me see the details of those joint venture projects first." Will I make a decision? β
"Yes." Li Hualong nodded and said, "I have something to do in the afternoon, and after lunch, I won't go to Hualong Mansion." If you have time, you can go to my assistant Wu Lijie, he will show you the relevant information, do you think this is okay? β
"Yes." Feng Bingfen smiled and responded, "I'll go in the afternoon." β
"Okay, then after we have lunch, I'll call my assistant and ask him to give you a good introduction."
"Okay!" Feng Bingfen smiled and nodded, picked up the teapot, and added some tea to Li Hualong's teacup.
"Mr. Feng, it's time to order." Li Hualong said to Feng Bingfen, turned to look at the direction of the box door and shouted, "Waiter, come and order." β
The box that Li Hualong is using now is not small, and there are two tables, the two tables are separated by barriers, the table where Li Hualong and Feng Bingfen are now sitting is next to the window, and the other table is sitting Li Hualong's bodyguard, this table is next to the door.
Feng Bingfen didn't mean to be ruthless to Li Hualong, so he ordered two dishes, and Li Hualong added two more dishes.
"Four dishes, enough for the two of us." Li Hualong smiled.
"yes, it's a waste if you can't eat it and throw it out." Feng Bingfen laughed.
That evening, Li Hualong, who was chatting with his wife at home, received a call from his assistant Wu Lijie.
"Boss, Mr. Feng Bingfen has agreed to invest in Wuli & Fung Real Estate Company."
"How many shares does he want?"
"Five percent."
"Not much. If he wants it, sell it to him, and don't forget that the premium is 20%. β
"I didn't forget that Mr. Feng accepted the price. Tomorrow, I will ask the company's legal department to draw up a contract and try to sign it as much as possible. β
"Okay." Li Hualong smiled and said, "Lijie, it's not too early, you should get off work, although work is important, but family is more important, you have snubbed your wife, she is going to lose her temper with you." β
"Boss, don't worry, my wife and I are very affectionate." Wu Lijie smiled, "It's okay, I'm ready to get off work." β
"Bye-bye!" After Li Hualong finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
After more than an hour, Li Hualong had dinner, sat in the living room and chatted with his family, and received a call from Feng Bingfen.
Li Hualong and Feng Bingfen chatted on the phone for two or three minutes, and then they ended the call.
Feng Bingfen just told Li Hualong that he wanted to invest in Wuli & Fung Real Estate Company, and how many shares he wanted to buy, as for the price, he didn't say it, he accepted Li Hualong's offer of a premium of 20%.
After hanging up the phone, Li Hualong said to himself: "Mutual benefit!" β
"What reciprocity?" Li Yisong asked.
"Feng Bingfen wants to invest in Wuli & Fung Real Estate Company, and I want to merge the two office buildings into the Chinese Real Estate Company, just now on the phone, I said that the cooperation is happy, Feng Bingfen said mutual benefit!" Li Hualong said with a smile.
"Seeing you smiling so happily, you think you're taking advantage?" Li Yisong said with a smile.
"Mutual benefit." Li Hualong said with a smile, he didn't say what he really thought, and said secretly in his heart, "If there is no advantage to take advantage of, I will not cooperate with others." Of course, my cooperation with Feng Bingfen is not without any benefits. β
A few days later, Li Hualong took out two commercial buildings in exchange for 45 percent of the shares of the Hong Kong Chinese Real Estate Company, and at the same time, Feng Bingfen also became a shareholder of Wu Li & Fung Real Estate Company.
β¦β¦
On January 19, the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Li Shengren's tenth birthday, Li Hualong once again held a birthday banquet at home to celebrate the birthday of his eldest son.
More than 20 days ago, on Li Linqi's tenth birthday, the decoration of Li Hualong's house was in the style of Western Christmas, but this time on Li Shengren's tenth birthday, the decoration had strong Chinese characteristics, and the red lanterns were hung high.
After the birthday banquet and seeing off the guests, Li Shengren was sleepy and yelled that he was going to sleep, and Li Hualong and Yang Meng accompanied him into the bedroom.
Today is Li Shengren's birthday, he is the oldest, and his parents take special care of her.
After lying down in the bed, Li Shengren smiled and said, "Mommy, if tomorrow is my birthday, then relatives and friends are not allowed to celebrate the New Year at our house?" β
"yes!" Yang Meng smiled.
"Do you want relatives and friends to celebrate the New Year at our house?" Li Hualong asked with a smile.
"I don't really want to. Chinese New Year's Eve is a reunion day, and I prefer to be with my family. Li Shengren smiled.
"Your uncle, your fourth uncle, they came to our house for the New Year, aren't you happy?" Li Hualong asked.
"Happy, they're all part of our family."
"That's right, they are our family, and family members should help each other, respect and love each other!" Li Hualong smiled with relief, "Sheng Ren, you are my eldest son, your younger brothers and sisters are younger than you, and when they grow up, you have to take good care of them!" β
"Dad, don't worry, I've always been very good to my younger siblings." Li Shengren smiled happily.
"That's good!" The smile on Li Hualong's face became even thicker, and he reached out and rubbed Li Shengren's head.
Li Hualong really hopes to see his children grow up and help each other, instead of tearing each other down.
Li Hualong, who has the memory of two people, knows very well in his heart that in a wealthy family like him, which has several wives and children, the probability of descendants tearing their faces in order to fight for family property is very high, but he did not give up food because of choking, he still likes children very much, and hopes that his wives can give birth to more children for him.
Li Shengren dozed off a few times in a row, he was really sleepy. β
"Sleep. Remember to wake up early tomorrow to exercise. β
"Dad, it's the New Year tomorrow, can you let me sleep for a while?" Li Shengren pretended to be pitiful.
"Huh!" Li Hualong laughed, "Little slippery, okay, you can sleep lazily tomorrow." β
"Great, thank you Dad." Li Shengren said happily, "I'm going to sue SΓΉ Linqi, and my younger brothers and sisters ......."
"You can sleep in peace, tomorrow no one will wake them up, they can sleep until they wake up naturally, that's it." Li Hualong said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you Dad!" Li Shengren smiled happily, "Dad, Mommy, good night!" β
After having a good night with his son, Li Hualong and Yang Meng walked out of the bedroom.
"Sheng Ren is really sensible." Li Hualong was pleased, "When I was ten years old, I was not as sensible as him. β
"Do you remember when you were ten years old?" Yang Meng asked with a smile.
"I don't remember much. A while ago, Abba compared me to Sheng Ren. Let's go, let's go back to the house and sleep, the kids can sleep in, we can't go to bed too late. (To be continued......)
