On March 12, Li Huahu, who had not yet obtained a bachelor's degree from the University of Hong Kong, registered and established Huahu Xing Co., Ltd. in Hong Kong.

More than two months later, on May 28, Li Huahu signed an exclusive sales agency with Mercedes-Benz in Hong Kong and Macao with Mercedes-Benz in the Federal Republic of Germany.

After getting the agency, Li Huahu paid a deposit and ordered 150 Mercedes-Benz cars, and 50 cars of the three models of 170S, 220 and 300.

Li Huahu returned to Hong Kong, handed over the thesis he had written long ago to the teacher, completed the thesis defense, and obtained a bachelor's degree from the University of Hong Kong.

"Abba, look, this is my graduation certificate, and my bachelor's certificate." Li Huahu took two certificates and showed them to Li Yisong.

"Not bad!" Li Yisong smiled faintly, and after reading it, he asked, "The car you ordered will not be shipped to Hong Kong until two months, what do you want to do in these two months?" ”

"Uh......" Li Huahu pondered for a moment, "I want to work in the hotel the most, but the Holiday Inn is not open, can I go to Evergrande to work for a period of time first?" ”

"Yes!" Li Yisong nodded.

"Then I'll go to work with you tomorrow."

"You go to work in Evergrande Company, but you have to be serious and don't embarrass me. You have no work experience, you can only do some trivial things at the beginning, you have to be mentally prepared. ”

"Abba, just put a hundred hearts, I won't be worse than the eldest brother and the third brother."

"Don't overestimate yourself." Li Yisong quipped, "By the way, how is the decoration of your car sales store?" ”

"In another ten days, it will be renovated. Abba, such a big store, vacant for two months, do you think it will be a waste? ”

"It's not wasteful. The shop pù belongs to your third brother, saying that it is free for you to use, you don't have to accept it with peace of mind, within a year, you can not pay the money. After one year, you pay the rent at the market rate. ”

"I thought that after the car shop opened, I would pay rent to my third brother when I made money. I know how my brother reckoned with him. Li Huahu smiled, "Abba, when the new car arrives in Hong Kong, I will send you a new car." ”

"My car is not old, so I am not in a hurry to change to a new one. Although our family has money, we still need to save where we should save. It is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. ”

Li Yisong saw Li Huahu's hippie smiling face, glared at him, pretended to be displeased, and asked, "Do you know?" ”

"Abba, I didn't spend much in four years of college. Honestly, am I quite frugal? ”

"It's okay." Li Yisong smiled slightly, "Huahu, do you think Abba is too annoying and wordy?" ”

"Nope!" Li Huahu smiled, "However, then again, if my family drives other brands, others will definitely think that Mercedes-Benz cars are not good enough." Abba, don't you say? ”

Li Yisong thought for a moment, nodded with a smile, and said, "It makes sense." ”

"The third brother told me. He said that he is also a celebrity now, and he drives a Mercedes and can influence many people to follow suit. ”

"He's not going to let you send him a car, is he?"

"yes!" Li Huahu smiled, "Abba, I have never heard you and Grandma say that you want a daughter, have you ever thought about having a daughter before?" ”

"The girl is the intimate little padded jacket of her parents, of course I have thought about it." Li Yisong glanced at Li Huahu a few times and asked, "To be honest, did you fall in love during college?" ”

"Nope."

"Really?"

"I really didn't, I didn't meet a girl I liked."

Li Huahu said that he had never been in love, which can be said to be true, but said that he didn't meet the girl he liked in college, which is fake, but he liked it at first, but after a long time of contact, he didn't feel anything, and in the end, the relationship that had not yet started ended without a problem.

"It seems that the girls in your school are not tall."

"I can't say that, there are a lot of beautiful girls, but they all have boyfriends, even if I meet my eyes, I can't break up others."

"You're not too young, it's time to fall in love."

"When my car is on track, I will definitely find a girlfriend right away, and if it is suitable, get married as soon as possible."

"Remember what you say." Li Yisong's thinking is a bit old-fashioned, somewhat of the concept of 'starting a family first, then starting a career'.

For the next two months, Li Huahu worked in Evergrande Group, working six days a week, with Sunday holidays, in addition to staying at home with his family, he would also take time to go to the car dealership, which had not yet opened, and he began to recruit employees.

On August 22, the first batch of 150 Mercedes-Benz cars ordered by Huahu was shipped to Hong Kong.

In order to support Li Huahu's career, under Li Hualong's construction, he and his family replaced their old cars and drove a Mercedes-Benz.

On the first day of the opening of Huahu Shop, many wealthy people in Hong Kong sold the face of Li Huahu's father and two brothers and bought 12 Mercedes-Benz cars from the car dealership.

In the first month, Huahu sold 59 cars, and for more than three years, Huahu sold an average of one Mercedes-Benz car a year.

On October 10, Holiday Inn Hotel, the first hotel under Holiday Inn Co., Ltd., a tripartite joint venture between Li Hualong, Li Yisong and Li Huawen, was officially opened.

Holiday Inn is located in Queen's Road Central, the original site of the hotel is the Queen's Theatre and other buildings, covering an area of nearly 20,000 square feet, with 1 basement floor, 12 floors above ground, the basement is a garage, and the underground is divided into 20 shops for rent.

The Holiday Inn underground store was very successful, and before the hotel opened, all of them were rented out, and before and after the hotel opened, these stores opened one after another.

On the opening day of the hotel, all stores are open at the same time.

The Li family held a celebratory banquet for the opening of the Holiday Inn, and Li Hualong did not accept gift money, but Li Yisong insisted on receiving gift money, but he said that there were many opportunities to return the gift in the future.

"Congratulations, I wish you a prosperous business and a prosperous fortune!"

"Rejoice, rejoice. Inside, please, have a few more drinks today. ”

At the invitation of Li Hualong, Li Xiaohe took his wife to the opening celebration banquet of Holiday Inn.

At the door of the hotel, Li Xiaohe joked with Li Hualong: "Ah Long, in the future, you will be a hotel tycoon." “

"What kind of hotel tycoon am I, compared to the Peninsula Hotel, the Holiday Inn is a little worse."

"Holiday Inn is no smaller than The Peninsula."

"Holiday Inn is not luxurious enough."

"Business is good. The purpose of running a hotel is to make money, not more than luxury. ”

"What Brother Li said is really insightful!" Li Hualong smiled and stretched out his hand to ask, "Drink a few more drinks today." ”

"Wait a minute, I'll toast you!"

"Well said, well said!"

Standing at the door of the hotel to greet guests for more than an hour, Li Hualong was a little tired.

"It's too much of a toss." Li Hualong muttered.

"Third brother, you go in first to entertain the guests, almost all of them are here, I'll be here alone." Li Huawen smiled.

"That's good. Big brother, wait a minute, you can come in too. ”

Since the memories of the two Li Hualong merged, the new Li Hualong made many new friends, including some rich people, but he did not deliberately make friends with those high-ranking people with strong assets and prominent status, and his father and his eldest brother made many rich people in the city and became friends with them.

At the beginning of 1949, when Li Yisong first came to Hong Kong, the Li family had no foundation in Hong Kong, and its influence was limited, but now it is different, the Li family is also a well-known family in Hong Kong, and its assets may not be as good as the old family that has developed in Hong Kong for decades or even hundreds of years, but its reputation and influence are not weak.

Today, "Ming Pao" is a well-known newspaper in Hong Kong, Huayi Brothers Film Group is the most successful film company in Hong Kong, Hualong Real Estate is the leader in the industry, and Evergrande and Jiuan are not small.

After the celebration banquet dispersed, Li Yisong's family did not go home and stayed in the hotel that night.

On the first night of the hotel's opening, not only Li Yisong's family stayed in the hotel, but many guests were also invited to stay in the hotel.

When he woke up the next day, Li Hualong woke up and felt a little headache.

"I'm awake." Yang Meng, who was sitting on the edge of the bed reading a book, saw Li Hualong wake up, she stood up and took a cup of tea, "Drink a cup of tea." ”

"I'll drink it later, I'll go wash up first."

Li Hualong lifted the quilt, climbed out of bed, stepped on his slippers, and went into the bathroom to wash.
