Xi Chongyi woke up and saw Li Hualong sitting on the bed.

"Woke up early?" Xi Chongyi climbed up.

"Just woke up for a while." Li Hualong smiled, tilted his head and kissed Xi Chongyi's cheek, "Did you sleep well last night?" ”

"Okay." Xi Chongyi smiled.

Li Hualong stared at Xi Chongyi for a moment, then asked with a smile: "Chongyi, you said that Chongjian would be in the United States for a long time, would he agree?" ”

Xi Chongyi was stunned when he heard this, and asked rhetorically: "Are you asking him to help you manage the company in Mi Guo?" ”

"Yes, there is this idea." Li Hualong smiled, "I plan to buy a Hollywood film company to play, think about it, Chongjian is the best candidate, he speaks English quite slippery, he has worked in Huayi Brothers Pictures for many years, and knows how to manage a film company." ”

"If you're being treated, I think he'll agree." Xi Chongyi smiled slightly, "My third brother is quite capable, but I asked him to go to the United States to manage a Hollywood film company, if the company is too large, he can't play it." ”

"I won't make him CEO right away, I'm now a vice president, let him keep an eye on me. Hehe, it doesn't make sense to buy a small Hollywood film company, it must be one of the eight major Hollywood film companies. The treatment given to Chongyi will definitely not be bad, and if the company can operate well, then his income will be particularly high. ”

"Do you have a target for acquisition?" Xi Chongyi asked curiously.

"Tentatively planned to acquire Universal Pictures." Li Hualong replied.

Xi Chongyi knew the name of Universal Pictures, thought carefully for a while, and found that many movies produced by this company in recent years were released in Hong Kong, but the box office was very average, and the reputation was also very average.

"How much money do you need?" Xi Chongyi asked.

"I don't know." Li Hualong smiled faintly, "I'm going to ask Wall Street investment institutions for help, so I will inquire about the news first." ”

"Hollywood studios and Hong Kong studios operate in different ways, and you don't worry that after a successful acquisition, you won't make money, but it will become a bottomless pit that requires you to continue to inject development funds into the company?"

"I'm a little worried, but I believe in my own vision." Li Hualong smiled smugly, "Whether in Hong Kong or in Hollywood, running a film company is very important. There are a lot of film talents in Hollywood, and there are a lot of good scripts to write, and it takes a long time to make a movie, as long as I have the vision, I can acquire Universal Pictures, and I can continue to make movies that are big hits at the box office. ”

"Husband, do you think the problem is too simple? Even if you have a good script, if you don't find the right director and actors, you may not be able to make a good movie, and a good movie may not be able to win a high box office. ”

"I thought it through, and I knew it was going to be difficult to run a Hollywood studio, but I decided to do it anyway. Hehe, Chongyi, don't you think it's fun to buy a Hollywood studio? ”

"Sounds interesting." Xi Chongyi smiled, "I just hope you don't worry about this acquisition in the future." ”

"Don't worry, your husband has the favor of Lady Luck." Li Hualong said with a smile.

"Probably the goddess of success."

"The goddess of success?" Li Hualong laughed, "It seems that the goddess of success is more powerful than the goddess of luck!" ”

"Woke up so early today and don't want to do sports?"

"Yes!" Li Hualong lifted the quilt, "Let's get up, wait a while, let's go out for a morning run together." ”

"Okay!" Xi Chongyi replied with a smile.

Half an hour later, Li Hualong and Xi Chongyi came back from running outside and strolled into the gate of the courtyard.

Xi Chongyi asked as he walked: "Aaron, the two Holiday Inn hotels in Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur have been open for more than a year, how is the return on investment?" ”

"The return on investment is good, worse than not investing in hotels in Hong Kong." Li Hualong replied with a smile, "Chongyi, do you want to go to Thailand for a few days?" ”

"Just the two of us?"

"Just the two of us." Li Hualong said with a smile.

"Isn't that okay?" Xi Chongyi smiled.

"Nothing bad, the two of us went together and could relax. In the future, I will take them overseas when I have the chance. Li Hualong smiled widely, and when he said they were Yang Meng, Chen Sisi and Liu Minchen.

Xi Chongyi was silent for a moment, nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay!" ”

Li Hualong stopped and asked, "When did you say you were going?" ”

Xi Chongyi also stopped and said with a smile: "Let's go to Thailand, in addition to playing, you still have something to do, you decide." ”

Li Hualong thought for a moment and said, "The New Year will be celebrated on January 22 this year. After the New Year, I have to stay at home for a few days, and after the annual leave, I have to be busy for a few days. Or, in mid-February, we go to Thailand. ”

"Okay!"

"Then it's decided." Li Hualong smiled and hugged Xi Chongyi's waist and kissed her lips.

Xi Chongyi pushed Li Hualong away and said angrily: "The bodyguards are watching." ”

Li Hualong said happily: "If they want to see it, let them see it, envy them to death!" ”

"It's not serious." Xi Chongyi smiled helplessly, she ignored Li Hualong, took a step, and walked to the door.

Back at home, Xi Chongyi and Li Hualong went into the bathroom to wash their hands, and they came to the restaurant for breakfast.

After breakfast, Li Hualong chatted with his family for a while, he came to the phone, took out the phone book, found the phone number of Li Huawen's uncle Zhou Lilong's home in Bangkok, dialed the number, and the person who answered the phone was a Chinese maid who could speak Chinese.

"I'm Li Hualong, a native of Hong Kong, looking for Zhou Lilong."

"Mr. Li, wait a minute." The maid knew who Li Hualong was, and replied respectfully, holding the phone, looking at Zhou Lilong, who was reading the newspaper, and said, "Master, Mr. Li Hualong from Hong Kong called." ”

Zhou Lilong was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Li Hualong to take the initiative to call him, and muttered: "What's the matter with Ah Long's call?" ”

"Don't be stunned, go and answer the phone." Zhou Lilong's wife, Wu Qiuyu, urged.

"Oh!" After Zhou Lilong came back to his senses, a smile appeared on his face, he quickly stood up, walked to the phone and sat down, took the phone, and said with a hearty smile, "The richest man in China, call me today, do you have any advice?" ”

"Brother Lilong, who do I have advice, isn't it almost the New Year, I'll call you and say hello." Li Hualong smiled.

"Thank you God of Wealth for your greetings, with your greetings, my fortune is coming soon." Zhou Lilong smiled, sat down as he spoke, and asked, "Do you want to know the situation of Holiday Inn Bangkok?" ”

"I know better than you about the operation of Holiday Inn Bangkok, so I don't need to ask you." Li Hualong said with a smile.

"Yes, the InterContinental Hotels Group, which manages this hotel, is your holding company." Zhou Lilong said with a smile, "A while ago, I had a phone call with Huawen, and he said that a year ago, you sold a lot of stocks and bought a lot of gold, affected by the rise in oil prices, and now the global economy is in recession, and the stock prices of many listed companies have plummeted, and the market value has shrunk by more than 50%, and the price of gold has risen, you sell stocks and buy gold, which is really prescient." ”

"I don't have the ability to predict the future, so it's good luck to sell stocks, buy gold, and get a good return. However, the stock prices of several listed companies I control have also plummeted, and their assets have shrunk a lot. Li Hualong smiled, "My eldest brother is not bad, he also sold a lot of stocks to cash out, and bought some gold." ”

Yesterday afternoon, Li Hualong had already told his four wives and concubines that the matter of investing in international crude oil futures to obtain huge profits should be kept secret, and he would not tell his family for the time being, Li Yisong and his wife, Li Huawen and Li Huahu did not know about it, and Li Hualong was naturally not ready to tell Zhou Lilong about it.

"He regretted not buying more gold." Zhou Lilong smiled and sighed, "The general trend of the global economy, no one can change it, no matter what, others owe, you can still make money, it's good." ”

"I'm pretty good compared to others."

"I have to admire your investment vision." Zhou Lilong said with a smile, "I don't think there are many people in the world who have such a good investment vision as you!" ”

"Don't praise me like that, I'm just lucky." Li Hualong smiled faintly, changed the topic and asked, "Brother Lilong, have you had breakfast?" ”

"I've eaten it. I was reading the newspaper just now, and I heard in Chinese that every day after breakfast, you will take some time to read the newspaper. ”

"yes, it's a habit, it seems that we have a common liking." Li Hualong said with a smile, "I called you today, and I have something to trouble you." ”

"If you talk about trouble, you're too outward!" Zhou Lilong said sincerely, "Over the years, without your care, my three younger brothers and I would not have been able to achieve the current scale of business. If there's anything, just say it, and I'll do my best. ”

"That's right, I have a little spare money in my hand right now, and I want to buy the Oriental Hotel in Bangkok, and I want you to help me get in touch with the shareholders of this hotel."

"I know several shareholders of Oriental Hotel, there are two who have a good relationship with me, hehe, Aaron, I have to say, your luck is good, there is a shareholder who has a good relationship with me, his other businesses have a crisis of capital breakage, and he intends to sell the shares of Oriental Hotel, but everyone has been affected by the global recession, although the price is very low, but no one has the money to buy."

"Great." Li Hualong said with a smile, "Then it's troublesome Brother Lilong, I'll ask Manager Qiao to contact you, and you can come forward to talk to your friend about acquiring shares." ”

Mr. Qiao's name is Qiao Ronghao, he is a Chinese born in Thailand, he spent many years in Bangkok, Thailand, he moved to Hong Kong with his family as a teenager, and after graduating from the University of Hong Kong, he joined InterContinental Hotel.

After Li Hualong decided to invest in a hotel in Bangkok, Qiao Ronghao, who had lived in Bangkok, became a key cultivation target, and before the opening of the Holiday Inn Bangkok, he was sent to work in Bangkok by InterContinental Hotels Group*=.

"Okay, I know Manager Qiao very well and often eat together, you can ask him to contact me."

After a few small talks, Li Hualong ended the call.

After Li Hualong hung up the phone, he didn't call Qiao Ronghao immediately, he didn't have Qiao Ronghao's contact number in Bangkok.

Li Yisong, who was reading the newspaper, put down the newspaper, looked at Li Hualong with a smile, and asked, "Ah Long, how did you go to Bangkok to buy a hotel?" ”

Li Hualong came to Li Yisong and sat down, and said with a smile: "After the opening of the Holiday Inn Bangkok, business has been good, and the investment income is quite good. Now that the oil crisis has been affected, the global economy has fallen into recession, the price of prices in Bangkok has fallen, and the market value of the Oriental Hotel has also fallen, I think it is time to buy this hotel. ”

"It looks like you're really ready to grow IHG into an international hotel giant." Li Yisong said with a smile.

"I intend to acquire the Oriental Hotel in Bangkok in my own name, and in the future, there may be a new issue of Mandarin Oriental by Times Land to acquire this hotel."

Li Yisong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you want to increase the market value of Times Land?" ”

"That's right!" Li Hualong nodded with a smile.

"That's fine." Li Yisong smiled slightly, glanced at Li Hualong a few times, and asked, "Ah Long, do you think that many of your companies have overlapping businesses, and if the companies with overlapping businesses are merged, will it be better?" ”

"Abba, you asked me this question before."

"Did you ask?" Li Yisong said suspiciously, and smiled, "I don't remember." ”

"The merger of companies with overlapping businesses has pros and cons, if it merges, then my Hualong Real Estate Company will also have to be merged into a listed company, and the market value of the shares I hold in listed real estate companies will be very high, so the outside world will definitely often talk about how much money I have."

"Yes." Li Yisong nodded thoughtfully, "You are the absolute controlling shareholder of Gemdale Group, and you are not the absolute controlling shareholder of Times Land and United Land...... Hehe, don't talk about it, you see the problem more thoroughly than me! ”

After Zhou Lilong hung up the phone, his wife Wu Qiuyu asked, "Li Hualong wants to buy the Oriental Hotel." ”

Wu Qiuyu was born in the magic capital, his father was a jade merchant, the day she was born happened to be the beginning of autumn, his father gambled on the stone to cut out a piece of ice yang green jade, soared, and made a profit dozens of times, his father was very happy, and specially took this name.

Wu Qiuyu and Zhou Lilong are middle schools, and they are also childhood sweethearts.

In the mid-fifties, Wu Qiuyu knew that her mother's family was not living well in the magic capital, and she asked her husband for advice, wrote to her parents, and sent a sum of money to her parents, so that her parents could immigrate to Bangkok with their families.

Later, Wu Qiuyu's father brought his family to Bangkok, and with the help of his son-in-law, he returned to his old business and continued to do the jade business.

Li Hualong founded Alibaba and often bought jadeite wool from the jade company run by Wu Qiuyu's father.

"Yes."

"What price does he offer?"

"He didn't say it, I guess he doesn't have a lot of business in the Oriental Hotel, and he won't bid until he understands the company's performance."

"Just now, I heard you say Manager Qiao, Li Hualong wants you to talk about the acquisition with Qiao Ronghao?"

"Yes." Zhou Lilong smiled, "Don't worry about this, over the years, Li Hualong has helped our family's business a lot, this time he asked me for help, I will definitely do this well." ”

"What are you going to do?" Wu Qiuyu smiled.

"Let's get in with some favors." Zhou Lilong said.

"Li Hualong is the richest man in China, he is in Hong Kong, and in the business community of Bangkok, Thailand, you have a bigger face." Wu Qiuyu said with a smile.

Two years ago, Zhou Lilong became the president of the Thai Chinese Chamber of Commerce headquartered in Bangkok, and now, Zhou Lilong has become the most influential figure in the Thai business community, not that he is the richest businessman in Thailand, but that he has his father and three younger brothers standing behind him, and their family is the richest family in Thailand.

"Don't say that, let others hear it, they'll laugh at us." Zhou Lilong smiled and shook his head, "If Aaron comes to Thailand to invest, he needs a partner, as long as the news is released, I estimate that all the rich people in Thailand want to cooperate with Aaron." ”

"A lot of people want to hug his thighs." Wu Qiuyu smiled.

"That's right, hug your thighs!" Zhou Lilong smiled and gave a thumbs up to his right hand, "In the Hong Kong business community, Ah Long's personality is well-known. ”

"Not everyone praises him?"

"That's for sure, even if Ah Long is a fortune boy, not necessarily everyone praises him, Ah Long's business in Hong Kong spans many industries, and there must be many competitors in the business field, even if Ah Long's partners may not necessarily say good things about him."

"He fell out with his business partner?"

"It's not. Do you remember that in 1967, there was turmoil in Hong Kong, and housing prices and property prices in Hong Kong plummeted. ”

"It's a bit impressive." Wu Qiuyu lives in Bangkok, and has no deep memories of the 1967 riots in Hong Kong, and what she knows is also hearsay.

"At that time, many wealthy people in Hong Kong sold their properties in Hong Kong and moved overseas, including some of Aaron's partners, Aaron was optimistic about Hong Kong's prospects, he bought a lot of company stocks and properties on dips, and later, he made huge profits from these investments, and those who bought losses must be angry in their hearts."

"I don't dare to talk to Aaron face to face." Wu Qiuyu said with a smile.

"Not necessarily." Zhou Lilong shook his head with a smile, "Ah Long is a person with a belly, and he also likes to joke, if his partner tells him in a joking tone and lets him take advantage, I don't think he will be angry." ”r1152
