On Monday, July 15th, this morning, Li Hualong opened his eyes, looked at the ceiling, and suddenly felt like a world away, muttering to himself: "It's all true!" ”

Yang Meng, who was lying next to Li Hualong, woke up almost at the same time as him, heard his self-talk, and smiled: "Isn't it a little hard to believe that Gemdale Group is going to be listed?" ”

Li Hualong smiled noncommittally, stared at Yang Meng for a long time, and kissed her lips lightly.

"Mengmeng, all these years, it's good to have you by my side!" Li Hualong smiled, "Thank you!" ”

"I'm glad to be by your side!" Yang Meng snuggled in Li Hualong's arms.

Li Hualong hugged Yang Meng's delicate body tightly, at this time, his mind was still a little cloudy, not because Gemdale Group was about to go public today, but because in the past nineteen years, six months and eight days, what happened to him was really incredible, although he confirmed countless times that magical things really happened to him, not a dream, but sometimes, he still went into a trance.

The two were silent for a while, and Yang Meng asked with a smile: "Ah Long, after the listing of Gemdale Group, do you think the stock price will rise or fall?" ”

"On the first day of listing, I expect the share price to rise slightly."

Before the listing of Gemdale Group, the total share capital was 90 million shares, and the IPO issued 10 million new shares at an issue price of HK$12 per share, raising HK$120 million.

Gemdale Group's listing and financing have been sought after by investors, with more than HK$2.4 billion subscribed for Gemdale's new shares, with a winning rate of less than 5%.

Since the establishment of the Stock Exchange, a large number of Hong Kong Chinese have poured money into the stock market, pushing up the stock prices of Hong Kong-listed companies, and as of last month's trading day, the Hang Seng Index has exceeded 100 points.

This morning, when Li Hualong was having breakfast at home with his family, Li Yisong smiled and raised a glass of milk and said, "Aaron." Congratulations, another company has gone public. ”

"Thank you, Dad!" Li Hualong smiled, he also raised the cup with milk, touched it, and took a sip of milk.

"How much do you expect Gemdale's stock price to rise on the first day of listing?" Li Yisong asked.

"It's hard to say." Li Hualong said with a smile, "Seriously, with the current market situation, before the listing of Gemdale Group, the market value was valued at HK$1.18 billion. Overrated. ”

"Isn't the market value of Gemdale Group 1.2 billion?" Li Yisong was puzzled.

"I just said that before the listing, after the listing, 10 million new shares were issued." Li Hualong said with a smile.

"Oh!" Li Yisong patted his head and smiled suddenly in realization, "It's a little old and confused." ”

"You're not stupid, you just haven't turned a corner for a while." Li Hualong said with a smile.

Li Yisong ate a piece of roasted wheat, took a sip of milk, and said: "At the beginning, you spent 100 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the land of the Navy dockyard. Later, you took the land as a shareholder and set up five real estate companies in a joint venture with others. You've also set aside five plots of land for sale...... All up, you haven't invested much money in Gemdale, have you? ”

"Abba, you want to ask me about the listing of Gemdale Group. How big is my ROI? Li Hualong asked with a smile.

"That's what it means." Li Yisong smiled.

"If I were to calculate the return on investment, I would be able to calculate that there should be more than ten times the profit." Li Hualong paused as he spoke. took a sip of milk and continued, "But you can't simply say more than ten times the profit, in six or five years, the market was not good, I bid 100 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the land of the old naval dockyard, although I did not pay it off at once, if it wasn't for my proper operation, plus good luck, in six or six years, there was a wave of small spring in the Hong Kong property market, then this big project was going to crush me." ”

"Heroes are judged by success or failure!" Li Yisong sighed, "I don't say anything about your vision and ability, but your luck is too good." ”

"I've got a lot of luck." Li Hualong said happily.

After Li Hualong had breakfast, he didn't sit in the living room and read the newspaper for a while as usual, he took the car directly to the Gemdale Building, which was listed today, and many things needed him to come forward.

More than a month ago, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange had moved its headquarters to Gemdale Building.

The Hong Kong Stock Exchange was the first tenant to settle in Gemdale Building, and only then did Gemdale Tower start leasing work, before the leasing work began, Gemdale Group had already published leasing advertisements in major newspapers in Hong Kong, many tenants had consulted Gemdale Group early, and a small number of tenants had pre-leased office buildings early.

In less than a month, the occupancy rate reached 100 percent, and the rent was not cheap, with the average monthly rent of the whole building being as high as HK$1.5 per square foot.

On the first day of Gemdale Group's listing, the company's share price opened higher, with an opening price of HK$13.2 per share and a closing price of HK$13.8 per share.

Based on the closing price on the first day of listing, Gemdale's market capitalization reached a staggering HK$1.38 billion.

On this evening, Gemdale Group held a grand listing celebration reception at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, and Li Hualong and Yang Meng attended the reception.

Li Hualong is the chairman of Gemdale Group, and at the same time the absolute controlling shareholder of the company, he holds 54 million shares, holding 54% of the shares, this night, he is the absolute protagonist, most of the guests who participated in the celebration reception will take the initiative to chat with Li Hualong.

Li Xiaohe came to Li Hualong's side, chatted for a few words, raised his wine glass, touched the glass with Li Hualong, took a big sip of red wine, and said with a smile: "Ah Long, Gemdale Group is listed, and you can confirm the title of Hong Kong land king and Hong Kong building king." ”

Nowadays, in Hong Kong, in addition to the Hong Kong government, Li Hualong has the largest land bank, the largest property area, and he holds a large number of high-quality businesses.

Li Hualong took a sip of red wine and said with a smile: "These titles are all outside the body, and I hope to see the share price of Gemdale Group continue to rise, so that our pockets will be thicker." ”

Li Xiaohe smiled and said: "Although it is something outside the body, it is not useless, when you cooperate with others, others will rest assured to cooperate with you because they know your strength." ”

"Brother Li, it makes sense." Li Hualong said with a smile. "Brother Li, can you rest assured that you will cooperate with me?"

"Ten thousand rest assured, we have cooperated many times, and every time it is very pleasant!" Lee Hyo-ho raised his glass again, "We did it." ”

"Don't do it, good wine, taste it slowly." Li Hualong touched the glass with a smile, and didn't take a big sip of red wine, but just took a small sip.

Li Hualong is the protagonist tonight, the guest who chatted with him. Inevitably, he toasted Li Hualong, in order not to disappoint the fun, he would take a sip of wine every time, although it was a small sip, but there were too many times, and Li Hualong, who had a good amount of alcohol, finally got drunk.

Drunk, Li Hualong did not go home, Yang Meng accompanied him to stay in the hotel for one night.

At about ten o'clock the next morning, Li Hualong woke up. Feeling a little pain in his head, he opened his eyes and saw Yang Meng sitting on the edge of the bed reading the newspaper.

"Mengmeng," Li Hualong greeted. "Pour me a glass of water."

Yang Meng picked up a glass of water that had been placed on the bedside table a long time ago and smiled: "Headache, right?" ”

"Sort of." Li Hualong took the water cup, took a sip of water, and sighed. He smiled, "It's much more comfortable." ”

"Would you like to take a shower?"

"Wash." Li Hualong nodded with a smile and said, "You help me put some water in the bathtub." I want to take a good bath. ”

"Wait a minute!"

A few minutes later, Li Hualong lay down in the bathtub and sat next to the bathtub, scrubbing his body for Li Hualong.

Yang Meng asked, "Are you going to work today?" ”

"I'm not going." Li Hualong paused and continued, "Wait a while, I'll call home and invite my parents and children out for lunch." After lunch, we went home and rested for half a day. ”

Yang Meng smiled: "Today, many newspapers have made headlines about you. ”

"That's normal!" Li Hualong smiled, "Yesterday, Gemdale Group went public, the stock price rose, with my shares in this company, I can become the richest man in Hong Kong, plus some of my other assets...... I reckon that there will be newspapers that write about my personal assets and be ranked in the world...... Also, it's nothing more than writing that I make black money. ”

"I haven't seen any reports in the newspapers about you making black money, it's basically praise." Yang Meng smiled, "You don't mind if others have a bad opinion of you?" ”

"Although, I don't say less, go my own way and let others say it, but in fact, I really care about what others think of me. As the old saying goes, a tree lives a skin, and a person lives a face. ”

"You're not going to donate another big donation, are you?" Yang Meng asked.

"Isn't it good?" Li Hualong asked with a smile, and without waiting for his wife to answer, he asked and replied to himself, "Donating money to do good deeds is a good thing to accumulate yin virtue." The money I donate to charity is far less fast than the speed at which I make money, and in the future, our family will definitely have more and more money. ”

"I don't doubt your earning power at all. It's also good to do more charity. Yang Meng said happily.

Li Hualong smiled slightly, closed his eyes, enjoyed Yang Meng's massage, and said secretly in his heart: "The way of doing charity is going to change!" ”

A few days later, on July 17, the twenty-second day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, Li Yisong's sixty-fifth birthday, according to the age of one, this day is Li Yisong's sixty-fourth birthday.

In the past ten years, on the twenty-second day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, the brothers Li Huawen, Li Hualong and Li Huahu would get together to celebrate their father's birthday.

On this day, as in previous years, Li Huawen and Li Huahu both came to Li Hualong's home with their families, and Li Hualong did not go out to work and stayed at home.

Li Yisong's 65th birthday was simply celebrated, and he did not invite relatives and friends, only his three sons and their families to celebrate his birthday.

At the birthday banquet, Li Hualong said: "Abba, eldest brother, fourth brother, you say, how about we set up a charitable fund?" ”

Li Huahu asked: "In recent years, haven't we donated money every year to charity, why do we set up a charity fund?" ”。

Li Hualong explained: "Every year in the future, I will donate a lot of money to charity, and if I set up a charitable foundation, I can better manage and operate the donations." ”

"Then set up a charitable foundation." Li Huahu smiled, "What's the name of the foundation?" ”

"What do you think of Abba's name with the word 'father and son' added to it?" Li Hualong said.

"Li Yisong Father and Son Foundation ......," Li Huawen muttered, "The English name is Yisonglee &SonsFoundation?" ”

Li Hualong nodded with a smile: "Yes." ”

"Good name!" Li Huawen smiled, "I can't think of a better name, so I use this name." ”

Li Huahu smiled: "I also agree." ”

"In my name, is that okay?" Li Yisong smiled faintly, "Wouldn't it be too ostentatious?" ”

Li Huawen smiled: "I think it's very good, Abba, many people use their own names as the name of their companies, you have not created a company with your own name before, and now you have set up a charitable foundation, this is a good opportunity." Charitable foundations do good deeds, and the things that make a name for themselves must of course use your name. ”

Li Huahu smiled and said: "Li Yisong Father and Son Foundation, they are all good names, the word father and son are used so well, and it is only my third brother who came up with such a good name." Hehe, when I see the second brother, let him also pay some money to come out. ”

Thinking that he hadn't seen his second son for so many years, Li Yisong sighed lightly and said in a deep voice: "How can your second brother be rich." ”

"yes!" Li Hualong smiled, "As long as the second brother's family lives well, in the future, with the help of our three brothers, it will not be difficult for the second brother's children to become rich." ”

"We people went to the mainland, but we are all capitalists, and we will be criticized!" Li Yisong shook his head, "Don't talk about this, let's eat more food." (To be continued......)
