Li Huawen stayed in Li Hualong's office for more than half an hour before getting up and saying goodbye.

"Aaron, I'm leaving, I still have something to do in the afternoon."

"Okay, I'll send it." Li Hualong also stood up.

"What to send, we see each other often." Li Huawen smiled and said, "By the way, yesterday, Lin Yu called home and said that she would have a holiday next week, and after the holiday, she would take a plane back to Hong Kong." ”

"Transit from Mumbai?" Li Hualong asked.

"yes. When she comes home, you can come to my house for a meal. Li Huawen smiled, "I often go to your house, but you rarely come to my house." ”

"If Abba and Grandma were staying with you, I would definitely go there often." Li Hualong said with a smile.

"I regret it, I should have built a big villa earlier, so that I would have a reason to let Abba and Auntie live with me."

"Or, I'll help you persuade Abba and Grandma to live in your house for a year or two?" Li Hualong smiled.

"Forget it, Abba and Mommy like to be lively, how can my family be as lively as yours." Li Huawen smiled, "Don't say it, I'm leaving, don't send it." ”

Li Hualong watched Li Huawen leave his office, and as soon as Li Huawen left, Wu Lijie entered the office.

"Boss, there will be a high-level meeting in the afternoon, and it will start in ten minutes." Wu Lijie reminded.

"I didn't forget it." Li Hualong smiled slightly, "Let's go, let's go to the conference room together, if you arrive early, we will have a meeting early." ”

When Li Hualong came to the conference room, the company's senior management had arrived in advance.

"When everyone arrives, let's have a meeting." After Li Hualong sat down, he said first.

When talking about the two newly developed and completed real estate sales plans of Hualong Real Estate, Li Hualong asked: "Will this price be too high?" ”

Miao Shengzhong, the manager of the sales department, said with confidence: "Boss, I am confident that all the 189 houses in these two real estate projects will be sold within half a month." ”

Li Hualong smiled and said, "Manager Miao, it's not good to talk too much. ”

Miao Sheng smiled heavily: "Boss." I can make a military order...... Within half a month, if the task is not completed, I don't want this year's year-end bonus, if it is completed, you can give me more year-end bonus. ”

"Okay!" Li Hualong readily agreed.

After the high-level meeting, Miao Sheng returned to the sales department and held a small meeting to let his subordinates work hard and complete the task of selling out the two properties as soon as possible.

Maybe the sales department led by Miao Shengzhong is very combative. It may also be that the price set by Hualong Real Estate Company for each house in the two real estate projects is reasonable, or even a little low, and the sales department of Hualong Real Estate Company spent ten days to sell out the two real estate projects.

For Miao Shengzhong, as well as the entire sales department surface xiàn, Li Hualong is very satisfied, at the high-level meeting, he praised Miao Shengzhong by name, and said that let the sales department achieve better results. At the end of the year, the year-end bonus of the sales department staff is more generous than last year.

The other department heads were very envious of Miao Shengzhong, although they did not deny that Miao Shengzhong had the ability to work, but they felt that the boss was kind of Miao Shengzhong. And the sales department is too eccentric, the company's development of residential buildings sell quickly, not only the credit of the sales department, but also the Hong Kong property market is booming. The transaction of first-hand and second-hand houses is very active, and even ordinary people can achieve excellent results in the sales department.

Li Hualong guessed what the heads of other departments were thinking, and said with a smile: "Everyone can rest assured." This year, the company's performance is good, and the year-end bonus will definitely be generous. If the old employee wants to buy a house, there is a big discount next year. ”

Li Hualong hopes that the Hong Kong property market can be prosperous for another year, if so, he can better improve the layout, next year, Hualong real estate company investment and development of a number of real estate completed, if the property market is good, these real estate prices are reasonable, it is easy to sell out, if the company's employees buy, he is also willing to give a big discount, nine discounts, or even eight or five percent off is fine.

"Boss, how much is the discount?" Li Hualong's assistant Wu Lijie asked, he asked this way, with the meaning of praise.

"Employees who have worked for more than 10 years can get a discount of 85%. Employees who have completed five years and less than ten years will receive a 9% discount. Employees who have completed two years and are less than five years will be discounted by 92%. ”

"Boss, can I buy more than one house?" Miao Sheng asked with a heavy smile.

"Yes. But the debt ratio should not be too high...... It can't be more than fifty percent. Li Hualong smiled, "If you buy a house with your own savings, as long as it is your own money, you can buy as many sets as you want." ”

"Boss, do you think there is going to be an inflection point in the Hong Kong property market?" Liao Caijun, deputy general manager of Hualong Real Estate Company, asked with a smile.

"I am optimistic about the economies of large European and American countries, if there is no unfavorable thing in the mainland to Hong Kong's economy, then in the next few years, Hong Kong's economy will continue to grow rapidly, and housing prices will continue to rise." Li Hualong smiled confidently.

At this time, Li Hualong is not ready to tell the truth in the face of the senior management of his company, if he is not optimistic about the prospects of the Hong Kong property market, then the rise in Hong Kong housing prices will definitely be affected, and even fall.

In order to avoid making others feel that they are pessimistic about the Hong Kong property market, in the coming year, Li Hualong will also actively participate in the land auction held by the Hong Kong government.

Before you know it, a new year is coming.

On the Lunar New Year in 1972, Li Hualong had a very comfortable life and rested at home for a week.

On February 21, President Nixon, accompanied by Dr. Kissinger, paid an official visit to Beijing.

Since the founding of the Chinese Communist Party, Sino-US relations have been very bad, the two countries have been in a long Cold War, since the Sino-Soviet relations broke down, the United States hoped to use the strength of the Communist Party of China to contain the Soviet Union, revised its global strategy, and began to repair its relations with the Communist Party of China.

In October 1969, then US President Richard Nixon publicly stated at the United Nations General Assembly that the United States was willing to negotiate with the CCP. Since then, the United States has eased its 20-year-old maritime embargo on China. In response to this, the Chinese Communist government responded in a timely manner by releasing 12 Americans in custody in December of the same year.

Last year (1971), the U.S. table tennis team was invited to visit China.

The news of Nixon's visit to China reached Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong stock market moved positive for several days.

Many media in Hong Kong predict that in the near future, the United States will build diplomatic relations with China, which will greatly promote Hong Kong's economy.

……

On February 24, when Li Hualong's family was having breakfast, Li Yisong smiled and said: "I dreamed last night. I dreamed that Chongyi gave birth to a son, and when the child grew up, he was very handsome and rescued an old lady in the sea. ”

"Really?" Li Hualong said with a smile, "Saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, I really hope that this child can do more good deeds when he grows up." ”

"It's okay to do more good deeds, but it's too dangerous to jump into the sea to save people, so it's better not to do it." Xi Chongyi said angrily.

"Okay, it's all up to you." Li Hualong said smoothly and said that he knew that a woman was pregnant. With the privilege of being unreasonable, he turned to his father and said, "Abba, when you dream of this child, it means that you have a fate with this child, and you will choose a name for this child?" ”

"Uh......" Li Yisong pondered for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "Keep it simple." Li Shengyu, swimming swimming. ”

"Li Shengyou, this is a boy's name, what about a girl?" Li Song smiled.

"Boy for sure!" Li Yisong said in an affirmative tone.

Li Hualong is very full of Li Yisong's name. But he didn't immediately say that he could accept it, looked at Xi Chongyi with a smile and asked, "Chongyi, what do you think of this name?" ”

"Good!" Xi Chongyi smiled, "Li Shengyou." It's a nice name, and I like it all. ”

……

Sunday, February 27. Li Huawen did not go out to work during the holiday, but brought his family to Li Hualong's house as a guest and stayed here for dinner.

As early as a few months ago, Li Shenghua and Wang Mingquan were engaged, and after the engagement, Wang Mingquan lived in Li Shenghua's house and lived with him. There are no special circumstances, Wang Ming will all participate in the family activities of Li Shenghua's family, and this time, she also came to Li Hualong's house as a guest.

"Third uncle, this time Nixon's visit to China, do you think that China and the United States will establish diplomatic relations in the short term?" Li Shenghua asked.

"How long do you mean short-term?" Li Hualong asked with a smile.

"One year." Li Shenghua smiled.

"I think it's very unlikely that China and the United States will have diplomatic relations within a year." Li Hualong said lightly.

Li Hualong clearly remembered that China and the United States issued the "Communiqué on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations" at the end of 1978, and the official establishment of diplomatic relations was on January 1, 1979, and there were still several years before 1979.

"This time the US president will definitely be able to reach some consensus, right?" Li Huawen looked at Li Hualong and asked.

"There will definitely be some consensus, otherwise, the president of the United States will not visit China." Li Hualong smiled slightly, "I estimate that the "Joint Communique" will be signed in just two days, and the President of the United States is a busy man, so it is impossible to stay in China for too long." ”

"Huaxia is going to change!" Li Yisong sighed.

"It's a bit of a big change, and it can't be said to have changed." Li Hualong said in a deep voice, secretly saying in his heart, "The reform and opening up of the Communist Party of China does not need me to push it. In the first 10 years after the reform and opening up, I actively participated in China's economic construction, not seeking rich returns, but only hoping to help the motherland's economic development be faster and more benign! ”

Li Huawen noticed that Li Hualong said a word, fell into deep thought, and asked with a smile: "Ah Long, do you think that after the great changes in the Huaxia Continent, you will go to the mainland to invest?" ”

Li Hualong smiled noncommittally, and Li Song sighed: "Don't just think about doing business and making money, there has been no news of your second brother's family for so many years, and their life and death are uncertain......"

"Alright, don't talk about it." Li Yisong interrupted in a deep voice, "It's useless to talk about this now. Hua Buji people have their own natural appearance, I think he has a very hard life, and he must live well. ”

Li Hualong suddenly felt that he was a little selfish, in order to make more money, he let his second brother Li Huawu's family in the mainland, regardless of it, and even let his parents and brothers ignore it, and secretly said in his heart: "Second brother, I hope your family is still alive, and in the future, I will make up for your ......."

In the evening of that day, before dinner, the brothers Li Huawen and Li Hualong came to the courtyard for a stroll, chatting while walking.

Li Hualong asked in a deep voice: "After so many years, I don't care about the second brother's family, am I too selfish?" ”。

Li Huawen was slightly stunned, and asked rhetorically, "Ah Long, why do you think so?" We are not unaware of what has happened in the mainland over the past few years, and if the top level of the Communist Party of China knows about the relationship between Huawu and us, it may not be a good thing for his family. ”

"In the first place, they should have been brought to Hong Kong." Li Hualong regretted, "It is not difficult for the Communist Party of China government to investigate our relationship with our second brother. ”

"Maybe." Li Huawen said lightly, "Even if we asked his family to come to Hong Kong, he might not be willing." It is not popular in the mainland to say that we would rather have the grass of socialism than the seedlings of capitalism. ”

"Hey!" Li Hualong sighed, smiled bitterly, and shook his head again, although he is a person who knows the trajectory of history, he still can't understand many things.

On this day, the governments of China and the United States signed the "Joint Communique" in the magic capital.

The two sides declared: 1. The normalization of relations between China and the United States is in the interests of all countries; Second, both sides want to reduce the risk of international military conflict; Thirdly, neither party should seek hegemony in the Asia-Pacific region, and each side opposes the efforts of any other country or group of countries to establish such hegemony; 4. Neither side shall reach agreements and understandings with respect to other countries with respect to the other party.

On the issue of T Bay, the Communist Party of China Government reaffirmed that T Bay is a province of China, that the liberation of T Bay is China's internal affair, that the Communist Party of China Government is the sole legitimate government of China, that all US armed forces must be withdrawn from T Bay, and that China opposes the "two Chinas."

The U.S. Pavilion Government stated that the U.S. recognizes that all Chinese on both sides of the T Bay Strait believe that there is only one China and that T Bay is part of China. The United States confirms the ultimate goal of withdrawing all U.S. armed forces and military installations from Gulf T.

The next day, the "Joint Communique" was officially issued, marking the beginning of the process of normalizing relations between China and the United States and laying the foundation for the further improvement and development of Sino-US relations in the future.

Most of the newspapers in Hong Kong, including Ming Pao, carried news about the joint communiqué issued by the Chinese and American governments, while a few pro-T newspapers did not report on it, directly assuming that the incident had never happened.

That night, just after dinner, Xi Chongyi began to complain that her stomach hurt, and with the sign of childbirth, Li Hualong hurriedly sent Xi Chongyi to the hospital.

Xi Chongyi was in pain all night, and Li Hualong stayed in the delivery room all night, accompanying Xi Chongyi all night.

The next day, on the morning of February 28, just after dawn, the sky of Hong Kong began to rain heavily, thunder and lightning, at this time, Xi Chongyi gave birth to a son in the hospital.

Since he gave birth to a son, Li Yisong got a name for this grandson, and Li Shengyou naturally used it.

At this time, Li Hualong and his family couldn't imagine what deep relationship this son would have with "You" in the future.

More than ten years later, Li Hualong's family is proud of Li Shengyou's achievements. (To be continued......)
