One morning in early December, Bao Yugang made a phone call to Li Hualong's home.

Bao Yugang smiled and asked: "Ah Long, in a few days, I am going to Singapore, do you want to go to inspect the investment environment together?" ”

"Okay, I just haven't been very busy lately." Li Hualong smiled, "What time is it!" ”

"I'm flying to Singapore on the 10th of this month."

"Yes." Li Hualong smiled, "Brother Bao, if you are free tonight, I will invite you to dinner." ”

"I'll invite you, you haven't been a guest at my house for a while, come to my house for dinner tonight."

"Okay, then I'll go to your house after work."

"Well, see you in the evening!" As soon as Bao Yu finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Previously, Li Hualong and Bao Yugang said that they intended to invest in Singapore, and asked the other party to help introduce Lee Kuan Yew.

Today, Global Shipping Group has developed into the world's largest shipping company, and Pao Yugang has a certain influence in many countries, including Singapore, and many wealthy businessmen in Singapore are Pao's business partners.

In the third year after its establishment, Global Shipping opened its operations in Singapore, which was not yet an independent country at that time.

Li Hualong has never been to Singapore before, but he is a big celebrity in Singapore, several novels he wrote are very popular in Singapore, and many movies made by his Huayi Brothers Film Group are very popular in Singapore, and even many of the songs he wrote are widely sung in Singapore.

In recent years, a number of Li Hualong's companies have been listed in Hong Kong, and several media in Singapore have reported on Li Hualong, the richest Chinese in the world, in addition to reporting his wealth, but also reporting on his legendary experience.

Li Hualong feels that his experience after being reborn is not a legend, a bit of a step-by-step meaning, but in the eyes of outsiders, he is a living legend. Historically, few have had as much success in multiple fields as he has.

Ordinary people in Singapore may not know about the relationship between Lee Hualong and Bao Yugang, but it is not a secret to some Singaporeans.

As early as 1965, when Singapore seceded from Malaysia and became a sovereign, democratic and independent country, at that time, Lee Hualong wanted to invest in Singapore, but he thought that the country had just been established and the society was not stable. Although the government welcomes a wealthy businessman like him to invest in Singapore with large sums of money, there will be troubles in the process of investing.

In the early days of Singapore's existence, the world questioned whether Singapore could continue to exist, with other important issues including housing shortages, lack of land and natural resources, and high unemployment, in addition to sovereignty disputes.

Lee Wah Long knew that he had no roots in Singapore, and if he ran into trouble. It was not a matter to always turn to the government for help, and there were many opportunities in Hong Kong at that time, so he did not invest in Singapore immediately. But his desire to invest in Singapore has never stopped.

In the early 70s, Singapore's overall strength was far inferior to that of Hong Kong, and the Singapore government was eager for Hong Kong entrepreneurs to invest in Singapore.

Long before the establishment of Singapore, Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew knew about Lee Wah Loong. Knowing many of his identities, it can be said that Li Hualong is the most famous Hong Kong person in Singapore.

This evening. Li Hualong took Yang Meng to Bao Yugang's house for dinner.

Before dinner, Li Hualong and Bao Yugang talked about a lot of topics.

"Aaron, do you know that Lee Kuan Yew has been looking forward to your investment in Singapore for a long time?"

"Why haven't I heard from you?" Li Hualong smiled.

"I see that your business in Hong Kong is doing a lot of turbulence, and there are many uncertain factors in doing business in Singapore, and I am worried that you will not be able to achieve satisfactory returns when you invest in Singapore, so I did not mention this matter to you." Bao Yugang smiled, "You won't mind, right?" ”

"No, it won't." Li Hualong shook his head with a smile, "Brother Bao, are you talking to me now, do you think Singapore's investment environment has improved?" ”

"A while ago, I went to Singapore and had the pleasure of meeting Lee Kuan Yew, and I mentioned to him that you are interested in investing in Singapore, and he was very happy, and promised that you will definitely give a lot of preferential policies when you invest."

"Just a little bit of preferential policy."

"In addition to investing in the hospitality industry, what else are you going to invest in?"

"If possible, I plan to build a large shopping mall in Singapore, in addition to a large number of shopping shops, there are also office projects."

"Do you want to buy a large plot of land in the heart of Singapore?"

"Hmm!" Li Hualong nodded with a smile, "If I don't get the strong support of the Singapore government, the matter of buying land is enough for me to have a headache. ”

"How much money is expected to be invested in the whole project?" Bao Yugang asked curiously.

"It's best not to be less than HK$300 million, preferably HK$6 or 700 million."

"300 million to 700 million Hong Kong dollars, this project is too huge." Bao Yugang smiled, "Are you going to take out all the funds yourself, or take out part of it, and the other part to borrow from a bank in Singapore?" ”

"It depends, if the Singapore government doesn't want me to borrow money from my own bank, there is no problem with using external funds for the whole project, as long as the Singapore government gives me preferential conditions."

Bao Yugang glanced at Li Hualong a few times, and asked with a smile: "Do you want me to call Lee Kuan Yew first, tell me your thoughts, let the Singapore government make preparations, and when you arrive in Singapore, we can arrange your field trip." ”

Li Hualong hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "It's okay!" Trouble big brother. ”

"No hassle. I won't call today, I'll call tomorrow morning. ”

"Thank you!"

After dinner, Li Hualong and Yang Meng did not continue to leave, continued to stay at Bao Yugang's house, and chatted with Bao Yugang's family for more than an hour before leaving.

On the way home, Yang Meng asked: "Aaron, you have never invested in Singapore before, and this time you went to Singapore to invest, and you invested in a large project of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, would this be too reckless?" ”

Li Hualong asked with a smile: "In your eyes, am I a reckless person?" ”

Yang Meng smiled, shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Although I haven't been to Singapore to invest, before. I have learned about Singapore's investment environment, which may not be as good as Hong Kong's, but I think Singapore still has a lot of potential for development. If it can be supported by the Singapore government, this mega mall will reap huge benefits. ”

"Are you going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build a building?"

"No, there will be a lot of buildings, and the whole project will be planned in one place. 一qiē depends on the specific situation...... I guess it is difficult for the Singapore government to satisfy my appetite, and it is not easy to land a large plot of land in the city center for me......"

A few days later, Pao Yugang, Li Hualong and Yang Meng and others flew in business class to Singapore, while their bodyguards. and the entourage that accompanied them to Singapore in economy class.

Shortly after the plane took off, Li Hualong was chatting with Yang Meng when a young and beautiful female flight attendant came to them.

"Mr. Li, Miss Yang, what kind of drinks do you drink?"

"Mineral water will do." Li Hualong smiled.

"Orange juice." Yang Meng said.

When Li Hualong took a bottle of mineral water from the flight attendant's hand, he looked at the other party carefully a few times, feeling a little familiar, thinking that the other party had just called out his and Yang Meng's surnames, and thought that the other party must know him. He smiled and asked, "Are you from Hong Kong?" ”

"yes." The female stewardess replied with a smile, "Mr. Li, Miss Yang, I am your fan. "Hong Kong Holiday" is my favorite movie. ”

Li Hualong didn't take the other party's words seriously, although "Hong Kong Holiday" is an excellent movie, he doesn't think this movie is the favorite of the girl in front of him.

After a few more glances, Li Hualong recognized who the girl in front of him was. He secretly said in his heart: "It turned out to be the goddess of immortality, Zhao Yazhi, maybe she is not yet twenty years old, she is really young enough...... It's still a bit immature. ”

"What's your name?" Yang Meng asked.

"Zhao Yazhi."

"Zhao Yazhi...... Your name is nice. As the name suggests, you are beautiful. Yang Meng smiled slightly, "Have you ever thought about being a star?" ”

"I didn't learn to act." Zhao Yazhi's confidence is insignificant.

"No one is born to act." Li Hualong smiled, "If you are interested in filming, you can go to Miss Hong Kong, with your conditions, even if you can't be elected as the champion of the first Miss Hong Kong, you can also win the opportunity to appear in a TV series." After filming a TV series for a few years and improving his acting skills, he will definitely have a chance to move to the big screen. ”

"What Miss Hong Kong?" Zhao Yazhi asked puzzled, with a curious expression on his face.

"TVB is planning a beauty pageant to launch next year. You can sign up after the New Year. Yang Meng replied.

"Thank you, Mr. Li and Miss Yang, next year, I will sign up for 'Miss Hong Kong'." Zhao Yazhi smiled sweetly, "I won't bother you." ”

Looking at the back of Zhao Yazhi's departure, a different kind of benefit flashed on Li Hualong's face.

Hong Kong TVB plans to hold a Miss Hong Kong contest next year (1972), which was promoted by Lee Wah Lung, bringing this event forward by a year.

After Zhao Yazhi left, Yang Meng reached out and pressed on Li Hualong's thigh, twisted it, and asked in a low voice, "Do you have a crush on this little girl?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, she can be my daughter at such a young age."

"Don't you men like old cows to eat tender grass!" Yang Meng quipped.

"I'm not your average man." Li Hualong smiled and kissed Yang Meng's face.

"Don't do this, let others see ......"

Bao Yugang turned his head and saw Li Hualong kissing Yang Meng, and joked with a smile: "Ah Long, the old husband and wife, are you still so affectionate?!" ”

Li Hualong said with a smile: "Love needs to be kept fresh, even if it is an old husband and wife, you can love like a young man!" ”

"It's not serious." A touch of shyness appeared on Yang Meng's face.

Bao Yugang smiled, turned his head, reached out to hold his wife's hand, and looked at each other with affection.

"You're not serious." Bao Yugang's wife gave her husband a blank look.

"Sister-in-law, compared to me, Brother Bao is a peerless good man." Li Hualong said with a smile, he admired Bao Yugang's dedication in his heart.

Bao Yugang's wife smiled noncommittally, at this moment, she felt that it was a particularly happy thing for her to marry Bao Yugang, she gave birth to four daughters for Bao Yugang, but did not give birth to a son, her husband did not blame her for this, and did not take a concubine, which made her very grateful to her husband for his love for her.

Li Hualong suddenly thought of another time and space, after Bao Yugang died, his four daughters and four sons-in-law inherited the inheritance and completely separated the family.

"If Bao Yugang has a son and his ability is not bad, then in the future, the Hong Kong rich list will be rewritten, and among the top four rich families, the Bao Yugang family will definitely be able to occupy a seat...... Not necessarily, my appearance, the fate of many people has changed. ”

Li Hualong felt a little sorry for Bao Yugang in his heart, Bao Yugang's grandson is not surnamed Bao after all, and in a few decades, even if someone will mention Bao Yugang, more people remember the surname of Bao Yugang's son-in-law.

Yang Meng saw that Li Hualong was thinking about things, thinking that he was still thinking about the beautiful flight attendant named Zhao Yazhi just now, she was secretly angry, but she didn't need to say anything, she was also afraid that the people around her would hear it, which would only make Li Hualong lose face.

Yang Meng really didn't blame Li Hualong, Li Hualong muttered to Bao Yugang in his heart, seeing Zhao Yazhi serving other passengers, he moved a little crooked in his heart, and said secretly: "Young and good, energetic, but a little green, even if it is not amorous." In another three or five years, she will not be able to control Bai Suzhen's horn...... A few years later, I tinkered out the script of "Shanghai Tang", which is known as a classic of Hong Kong TV dramas, and the script is provided by me, which is of great significance.
