Chapter 120: Living in a House
86_86133After the run crisis of Hang Seng Bank was resolved, the Hong Kong property market in a downturn could not get out for a while, but at this time, Li Hualong did not only consider hedging, so he let his Hualong Real Estate Company stop investing in the development of real estate, if this is the case, many construction workers will lose their jobs and lose their jobs.
Hualong Real Estate Company owns a lot of undeveloped land, most of which were purchased a few years ago, and the price of buying these lands was not expensive, even if the housing prices in Hong Kong have fallen, Hualong Real Estate Company can still make huge profits by building houses on these lands and selling them at market prices.
Li Hualong felt that in 1967, after the riots in Hong Kong, the price of land in Hong Kong would fall sharply, and that was the best time to buy a large amount of land, but he did not plan to sit still and wait for the riots to come.
As early as a few years ago, Hualong Real Estate Company became the largest real estate developer in Hong Kong, after the baptism of the Chinese bank run, Hualong Real Estate Company's status in the industry has been greatly improved, if the company shrinks up, does not participate in real estate investment and development, it will inevitably affect more people to be bearish on the Hong Kong property market.
Li Hualong hopes that before the riots, Hong Kong's real estate industry can have a small wave of recovery, which is more in his interests.
In the first half of May, the construction of two residential buildings and a commercial building developed by Hualong Real Estate Company began, and Li Hualong not only asked Ming Pao to report on these things, but also tried to get other newspapers to participate in the report, hoping to create a sign that Hong Kong's property market is about to pick up.
On the evening of May 20. Li Hualong formed a bureau and invited a number of real estate developers to gather in the big box of the Holiday Inn and staggered their plans.
While drinking. There were a lot of business topics that everyone talked about.
Li Hualong raised some problems with the real estate industry in Hong Kong, and proposed: "I think it is necessary for us to unite Hong Kong's real estate developers and form a group representing the industry - the Hong Kong Real Estate Builders Association, to seek the common development of real estate developers and builders, as well as the prosperity of Hong Kong's real estate market." ”
"Aaron, you have a good idea, I support it!" Li Xiaohe said with a smile. "Since it was you who proposed the establishment of the Xiang Real Estate Construction Association, then I will nominate you as the first president."
"This ......," Li Hualong smiled modestly. This is not good, I have shallow qualifications, and many of you here are my seniors. ”
"Your qualifications are shallow. I remember correctly. In 1949, you started to do real estate business, selling units in strata and selling off-plan properties, which you did the most. Also, this is your most financial, Hualong Real Estate Company is the largest real estate developer in Hong Kong, and many of you here have cooperated with you to develop projects, your character. Everybody knows that. It is fitting that you should be the president of the Hong Kong Real Estate Builders Association. Lee Hyo-ho smiled, "Everyone. You say, don't you? ”
"I approve of Aaron's presidency. Except for Aaron, no one is qualified to serve as president. Everyone expressed their recommendation for Li Hualong.
The news of the establishment of the Hong Kong Real Estate Developers Association spread, and the repercussions in the real estate construction industry were great, and 69 large real estate developers and builders in Hong Kong responded to the news.
More than half a month later, on June 8, the Hong Kong Real Estate Developers Association held its first board meeting. Dignitaries, celebrities, and tycoons gather together, which is a grand event.
The meeting elected Li Hualong as the first president. Qu Wuqi and Li Xiaohe are vice presidents, and Li Huawen, Hu Hanhui, Hu Yingxiang, Zheng Yizhi, Cao Shaosong, Yang Zhiyun, Li Kangjie, Wang Kuancheng, Fang Runhua and other old Chinese real estate builders in Hong Kong are executive directors.
Li Hualong has nominally become the "leading big brother" of Hong Kong real estate developers.
After becoming the president of the Hong Kong Real Estate Builders Association, Li Hualong made a brief speech at the first board meeting.
"First of all, I would like to thank you for your support to me. Now that I have been elected as the president of the Real Estate Builders Association, I will do my best to contribute to the prosperity of the real estate market in Hong Kong......"
"I've always felt that doing business is not about stealing food from other people's bowls, but about growing food and cooking......
"I make a very appropriate analogy, operating real estate, is like raising fish in a big lake, there is more bait in the lake, in order to raise more fish, if someone for the immediate benefit, pour a lot of poison into the lake, the fish will be extinct, although you can get some dead fish, but if you want to continue to raise fish, then you need to pump out the poisonous water in the lake, and then fill it with clean water, which will inevitably cause a significant increase in costs. We have to make industry rules, that is, to prevent people from pouring poison into the lake, if someone only for personal interests, to the detriment of everyone's interests, then we must resolutely oppose ......"
"Over the years, I have made a lot of money in the real estate industry, and I think that a businessman should not only think about making money, but also take on his own responsibilities. I think the real estate industry in Hong Kong has the obligation and responsibility to enable Hong Kong people to save their savings and buy their own houses, so that they can live and work in peace and contentment......"
This is the first time that someone in Hong Kong has proposed a plan of "housing for the occupants"; although Li Hualong now has some influence in Hong Kong, without the intervention of the British government in Hong Kong, he is weak and weak, and even if he has the heart, he will not be able to implement this plan.
Later, the Hong Kong government's vigorous promotion of the Housing Purchase Scheme to cater for the middle and lower classes was also derived from its name "Home Ownership".
Soon after the establishment of the Real Estate Builders Association, Li Hualong, in the name of the Chamber of Commerce, sent a memorandum to the government, requesting permission to postpone the start of construction if the construction of the construction site of the member members of the Chamber of Commerce encountered failures, and the government approved a one-year extension to waive the fine; urged the government to change the method of public land investment and suspend the opening of housing land in order to adjust the property market, which was later accepted by the government; Provide advice to the Hong Kong government to improve the sales system and improve building management; Initiating and organising an exhibition of building models to introduce the development of Hong Kong's real estate industry in recent years, and to enliven and stimulate the dull property market.
A week after the end of the first board meeting of the Hong Kong Real Estate Developers Association, on June 16, Gemdale Group broke ground on the first commercial building developed by Gemdale Group on the Navy Dockyard site.
It is these reports that make some real estate developers in Hong Kong feel that the Hong Kong property market is about to pick up. Or these real estate developers really feel that the Navy Dock plot has a lot of potential for appreciation, and they take the initiative to contact Li Hualong to express their interest in the Navy Dockyard plot. Some real estate developers have proposed to buy land, and more real estate developers hope to develop a joint venture with Li Hualong.
Li Hualong feels that the real estate market in Hong Kong has not really warmed up now, and if he takes out the land of the naval dockyard and sells it now, he will definitely not be able to sell it at a price that satisfies him, and he is reluctant to sell it now, even if he is short of money, he will choose to borrow money from the bank. Although it has increased interest costs, he thinks it is more cost-effective.
For those developers who want to buy land directly. Li Hualong was a little colder, but he didn't refuse, he was ready to talk slowly, and the longer he talked. The more beneficial it is for him; And for those real estate developers who want to develop joint ventures, Li Hualong is willing to sit down with them and talk in detail.
Li Hualong did not want to delay the joint venture real estate project for too long, and it was best to dare to complete more than half of the construction period before the riots came in six or seven years, because he felt that this was more in his own interests.
Of course, Li Hualong is not particularly anxious, when Gemdale Group takes out the land and looks for a partner. The share price of the land must be higher than the price he bought a few months ago, and the reserve price in his mind is a premium of 20%, which can only be higher. Can't go low.
One day in early July, Li Hualong accompanied Chen Sisi, who was pregnant with Liujia, to spend the night, and in more than ten days, Chen Sisi was going to give birth.
As soon as Chen Sisi lay down on the bed, he screamed "hmm" and gently covered his stomach with his hands. Laughing: "The kid kicked me." ”
"Let me hear it."
Li Hualong smiled and leaned over and gently pressed his ear against Chen Sisi's belly, hearing a wonderful sound. Le Hehe said: "Sisi, do you say this fetus is a son or a daughter?" ”
"What do you say?" Chen Sisi asked with a smile.
"He's in your belly, you guess better." Li Hualong said with a smile.
"I feel like a son, very naughty."
"Naughty children grow up to be promising." Li Hualong sat up, then lay on the bed, and stared at Chen Sisi with a smile for a moment, "Otherwise, let's name this child Li Shengwei, Great Wei." ”
"Li Shengwei ......" Chen Sisi pondered for a moment and smiled sweetly, "This name is good, if it is a son, take this name, what if it is a daughter?" ”
"Li Linshan, Shan next to the king, what do you think?"
"Okay, I like it. I want the names Li Shengwei and Li Linshan, no matter whether this child is a boy or a girl, these two names will be kept as my child. ”
"No problem."
"Do you think I'm a bit overbearing?" Chen Sisi asked with a smile.
"What kind of domineering is this?" Li Hualong laughed, "I don't think so." ”
"Hah!" Chen Sisi yawned, "Don't talk anymore, I'm going to sleep, recently, I feel like I'm very good at sleeping." ”
"Women who are pregnant with children are like that."
"I've gained more than a dozen pounds, I'm really afraid that after giving birth, my body won't be able to recover."
"Don't worry." Li Hualong gently kissed Chen Sisi on the lips and said sincerely, "No matter what you become, I will love you." ”
"I don't believe it." Chen Sisi pursed his mouth.
"Let time prove what I said." Li Hualong smiled, stretched out his hand to turn off the light, and then kissed Chen Sisi on the lips, "Dear wife, good night!" ”
"Good night, husband!" Chen Sisi grinned and said goodnight, closed her eyes, and after a while, she opened her eyes and asked in a low voice, "Are you hot?" ”
"It's fine."
"If you feel hot, go to bed in a different room."
Chen Sisi is pregnant, blowing the air conditioner and blowing the fan is not good for her health, and the bedroom she lives in is a little hot.
"It's really not hot. If you feel hot, I'll go get a fan and fan you. ”
"No, I'm not afraid of the heat." Chen Sisi smiled, at this moment, she was a little moved, her husband was willing to fan her, she felt that this was a kind of happiness.
"I think the temperature in the bedroom is just right, not hot, not cold."
"Tomorrow morning talk, go to bed!" Chen Sisi smiled, closed his eyes, and after a while, he fell asleep.
The next day, Li Hualong spent the night with Yang Meng, and after some lingering, both of them sweated a lot.
Li Hualong carried Yang Meng to the bathroom, and the two lay in the bathtub, soaking in the bath and chatting at the same time.
"You've been busy looking for a partner lately, how are the talks going?"
"The verbal talks are almost over, and in two days, the contract will be officially signed, and at that time, five joint venture companies will be established."
"Aren't you going to take out ten pieces of land and develop it as a joint venture with others? Changed your mind? ”
"There is no change of mind, a joint venture to develop two towers."
"Oh, that's right." Yang Meng smiled, "Ah Long, am I stupid?" ”
"You think too much...... Li Hualong smiled and kissed Yang Meng's face, pressed on Yang Meng's chest, and kneaded it a few times, "It feels really good!" ”
"Talk to you about business, you move your hands and feet." Yang Mengjiao said angrily.
"It's more important than business." Li Hualong smiled evilly and kissed Yang Meng's lips.
At the beginning, Yang Meng also enthusiastically catered to Li Hualong's kiss, when Li Hualong's big tongue broke into her mouth and raged, she fell, although the old husband and wife, she gradually became a little addicted to Li Hualong's domineering and gentle methods, blurred eyes, enjoying the wonderful feeling.
After a hot kiss, Yang Meng felt that the hard object under Li Hualong's crotch was pressing against her buttocks = meat.
"Mengmeng, do you love me?" Li Hualong took a breath and kissed Yang Meng's delicate neck.
"Aaron, I love you!" Yang Meng's moans trembled a little.
"Sit down."
Yang Meng turned around, turned his back to Li Hualong, held the hard object with his hand, sat up slowly, and let out a seductive moan: "Ah......hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"Are you comfortable?" Li Hualong reached out and grabbed a pair of plumps on Yang Meng's chest, and kneaded = pinched a few handfuls.
"Comfortable!" Yang Meng groaned.
"It's good to be comfortable." Li Hualong held Yang Meng's waist and moved slowly.
After playing in the bathroom for nearly half an hour, Li Hualong was a little tired, but he still hugged Yang Meng, who was red = dew, and returned to bed.
Yang Meng was like a kitten, snuggled in Li Hualong's arms, was silent for a while, and asked, "Ah Long, how long can you love me so much?" ”
Li Hualong was slightly stunned, and asked with a smile: "What do you think?" ”
"Maybe in another three or five years, you won't like my body anymore."
"Fool!" Li Hualong kissed Yang Meng's lips affectionately, just a simple lip to lips, but Yang Meng felt the deep affection contained in it.
After the kiss, Li Hualong looked at Yang Meng with a smile and said, "Mengmeng, even if in the future, you are full of white hair and wrinkles, as long as I still have the ability, I am willing to make you happy like just now!" ”
"I remember, don't forget jì." Yang Meng smiled.
"No, it won't." Li Hualong smiled and said, "Mengmeng, can't I give you a sense of security?" ”
"No, I don't. I feel very happy with you, and I believe that I will continue to be happy. ”
"Thank you!"
"Huh!" Yang Meng smiled sweetly, "Thank you for trusting you?" ”
"yes!" Li Hualong smiled, "It's sad for a man who can't be trusted by his wife." ”
"There's so much about you that I can't resist!" Yang Meng snapped and kissed Li Hualong on the lips, "Turn off the lights, I was tossed twice by you tonight, and I was exhausted." ”
"Just lost it twice?" Li Hualong sneered. (To be continued)

"Many times, okay?!" Yang Mengjiao said angrily, a flush appeared on her face, the tide = red on her face had not receded, which suddenly made her more charming.
Li Hualong was slightly stunned, and a desire surged in his heart, but thinking that he was not in his early twenties, he was a little weak, smiled bitterly, and stretched out his hand to turn off the light.
"Good night, Darling!" Yang Meng said softly.
"Good night, baby!" Li Hualong smiled.
The two were silent for a long time, and Li Hualong asked in a low voice, "Have you slept?" ”
"Sleep."
"Sleep, how do you talk?" Li Hualong said with a smile.
"Talking in sleep!" Yang Meng chuckled, "Don't say it, it's not early, go to sleep." Tomorrow morning, you will definitely be woken up by two children, I am afraid that you will not get enough sleep. ”
Li Hualong kissed Yang Meng's face and smiled: "Have a good dream!" ”
"Good dreams!".
