Chapter 354: Being a Great Official Is Tiring

Li Huawen silently took two sips of tea, and then asked: "Separate the various businesses, what will be the main business of Jiuan Group in the future?" ”

"Uh......" Li Hualong thought for a while, "The name of the group can be changed, but the name of some subsidiaries does not have to be changed, such as Jiu'an Construction, Jiu'an Infrastructure is also very good...... Otherwise, don't let the company go public as a whole, the real estate business will be listed first, and then the construction and infrastructure business will also be listed, and then in a few years, the Hong Kong International Container Terminal Company will be listed. Hehe, I don't even know how to say it, think about it yourself. ”

Li Huawen pondered for a while and said with a smile: "I have decided to change the name of the group and change its name to Huawen Group. I've been in this world for a while, and I want to leave my name for future generations. Jiu'an Real Estate, Jiu'an Construction, these two names have been used for a long time, I will not change them, and the infrastructure business will be merged into the name of Jiu'an Infrastructure, and the name of Chinese Infrastructure will not be used...... Ah Long, what kind of industry do you say I can get involved in in the future, the name of the company is named in 'Chinese'. ”

"Are you interested in producing office supplies and stationery?" Li Hualong asked, without waiting for the other party to answer, and continued, "The mainland economy is about to embark on the fast train channel, and the demand for office supplies and stationery must be great. ”

"I'm a little interested in hearing you say that. In the future, go abroad to acquire a well-known fountain pen manufacturing company. ”

"There are flooring, paint, tiles and other building materials products, you can also set up factories to produce, Chinese flooring, Chinese paint, Chinese tiles, listen to the ear. As I have said a long time ago, the mainland real estate market has a lot to offer in the future. The children of the second brother, we will help them to establish a huge enterprise in the mainland, and they will also get involved in the real estate industry, and their own family has a variety of building materials production factories, which has many benefits. I have thought that in the future, an agreement will be reached with the mainland government to develop housing for rent, and no matter how much the rent is increased in the future, the tax rate will be calculated according to the comprehensive tax ratio that was previously negotiated. No tax increases, you can produce all kinds of building materials by yourself, and the construction cost will definitely be very low. ”

"Hehe, you're the richest man in the world now. You're too calculating! Li Huawen quipped.

"I can't calculate, and I can't be the richest man in the world." Li Hualong said with a smile, "By the way, big brother, I suggest that you set up a Chinese real estate company." This company is asset-heavy, holds more properties, and mainly collects rent. ”

"With so many real estate companies under your umbrella, have you ever thought about restructuring?"

"There is no such idea for the time being, and it may be restructured in the future. People's minds change over time. ”

Li Huawen glanced at Li Hualong a few times and asked, "How much money do you have when you fall to the ground now?" ”

"Do you know how much money you have?" Li Hualong asked rhetorically, without waiting for the other party to speak, and said, "I think it must be difficult to say the specific number, hehe." Thinking about how much money you have every day, it's not boring to listen to it. Seriously, some, I'm afraid that after I know how many assets I have, I won't have the motivation to continue making money. ”

"You, I'm completely convinced." Li Huawen picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and asked again, "By the way, before." You said that the Peninsula and Mandarin Oriental were merged into the InterContinental Hotels Group, why hasn't there been any action? ”

"The possibility of a merger is very small, I have so many children, and the number of companies under my umbrella is not enough. There will not be enough points in the future. ”

"Hehe, yes!" Li Huawen smiled and nodded, "Are you happy that you have so many children?" ”

"Of course I was happy. Only if we have a large enough number of offspring and nurture them well can we produce some outstanding offspring. Our brother is quite smooth. It has laid a solid foundation for them, as long as a few of them are particularly promising, our Li family will definitely become the most powerful family in the world. ”

"Do you want one of your children to be like you?" Li Huawen asked with a smile.

"What is not a god of stocks, I just bought some stocks of companies with development potential during the downturn of the stock market, and waited for the bull market to sell and cash out."

"Don't say it's so easy, picking out companies with development potential is not something that ordinary people can do, and also, buying stocks, selling stocks, will be the time. If you tell me the principle of investing in stocks and let me do it myself, I think even if I don't lose money, I can't make much money, which is much better than keeping money in the bank. By the way, Aaron, you say, how about I change the name of BEA to Bank of China? ”

"You have this in mind?"

"I'll ask you what you think."

"Not very good. Although you are not the founder of BEA, you are now in control of the bank, and the history of BEA is not short, if you hastily change its name...... You can't say that, let alone change your name, you can make up your own mind. ”

"I haven't thought about it myself, so I won't change my name for ......the time being," Li Huawen was silent for a moment and said with a smile, "I still have to ask you for help with the listing of my company." ”

"How can you help?"

"Don't you have a few small listed companies, and I want to take two shells to go public."

"Okay, when you're almost done, I'll let these companies issue and merge your companies that are ready to go public, and the little snake eats the elephant!"

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

A few days later, Li Huawen changed the name of Jiu'an Group to Huawen Group, and at the same time began to reorganize the company's subsidiaries in preparation for the future listing of subsidiaries such as Jiu'an Real Estate and Jiu'an Infrastructure.

Jiu'an Real Estate and Jiu'an Infrastructure have not yet been listed, and Li Hualong has acquired a listed company that used to have a relationship with Li Hualong, Chinese Real Estate, which was listed under Li Hualong's operation.

A few years ago, Li Hualong reduced his holdings of the Chinese Real Estate Company's shares, leaving less than 5 percent of the shares, but he still serves as the vice chairman of the Chinese Real Estate Company with these shares.

Founded in 1922 by two major families, Fung Ping Shan and Li Guanchun, Chinese Estates is a long-established Chinese-owned company in Hong Kong, listed in 1966, and invests in high-quality properties and securities.

Although Li Hualong has a great relationship with the Chinese Estates Company, the development of Chinese Estates is stable and respected, but it is also far away, the stock is rarely paid attention to, the transaction is very little, and the price is depressed.

There was a problem within the Li Guanchun family, and Lee Siu-fu, who presided over the establishment of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, had a disagreement with the members of the family, and he wanted to sell his shares of Chinese Real Estate to Li Hualong with his friend Kong Xianshao, who was a little interested in the shares of Chinese Real Estate. After all, the stock price is not high now, but Li Huawen knew about it, and he was more interested in the Chinese Real Estate Company, so he asked Li Hualong to give him the opportunity to acquire the shares of the Chinese Real Estate Company.

"Aaron. I'm interested in Chinese Estates, can you give me this opportunity? ”

"Big brother, since you have spoken, how can I refuse?!" Li Hualong said with a smile, "What attracted you to the company of Chinese Real Estate?" ”

"I think the company's price-to-earnings ratio is quite low. There is also a market value lower than net assets, and there will definitely be money to be made by buying this company at the current stock price, spinning it off and selling it. ”

"The purpose of your acquisition of Chinese Real Estate is not to sell assets to make money, right?"

"No, no!" Li Huawen denied with a smile, "Didn't you keep saying that in the next few years, Hong Kong's housing prices will continue to rise, and I am also very optimistic about the prospects of Hong Kong's property market." I think there are many benefits to having a listed company that focuses on investment properties. If I can take control of Chinese Estates Company, in the future, this company will issue new shares to raise funds, and I will also subscribe for new shares according to the proportion of shareholding. ”

"Seriously, Chinese Estates, I like the name of this company."

"I also decided to buy shares because I liked the name of the company. Hehe, the third child, I came forward to buy stocks, Li Zhaofu and Kong Xianshao won't not sell stocks, right? ”

"No, it won't. As long as the price is right, whoever buys it is the same. It's not like you haven't dealt with Li Zhaofu. ”

Li Huawen bought the shares of Chinese Real Estate in the hands of Li Zhaofu and Kong Xianshao, and was not without trouble, after buying the shares in the hands of these two people. He began to buy shares of Chinese Estates from the stock market, and when his shareholding reached 35%, he initiated a full acquisition of Chinese Estates at a price of HK$15 per share.

Mr. Lee's purchase of shares in Chinese Estates from the market pushed up the company's share price, and he earned HK$15 per share, still at an 18 percent premium.

Li Huawen has sufficient funds to hold 100 percent of the shares of the Chinese Real Estate Company. But he doesn't plan to delist the Chinese Real Estate Company, he only hopes that he holds more than 50 percent of the company's equity and really controls the listed company.

Li Huawen used various methods to break through, and through various connections, he found the shareholders of the Chinese Real Estate Company holding more than 3% of the shares, and with some favors, most of them agreed to buy the shares in their hands to Li Huawen at a price of 15 Hong Kong dollars per share.

After Li Huawen took control of the Chinese Real Estate Company, he leased the company's board of directors, and he himself became the chairman of the board of directors, and his wife and two sons became directors of the company's board of directors, and the Li Huawen family occupied the majority of the board of directors of the Chinese Real Estate Company.

One day in late July, Li Huawen did not go out to work, and came to Li Hualong's house as a guest in the afternoon.

After chatting a few words, Li Huawen said that he had something to discuss with Li Hualong, so Li Hualong took Li Huawen to the study and chatted while drinking tea.

After a few sips of tea and a few small talks, Li Hualong asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"It's not a big deal. Boss, I want Chinese Estates to issue new shares, what do you think? ”

"Yes." Li Hualong replied, "How much do you hold in the Chinese Real Estate Company now?" ”

"A little more than sixty-five percent."

"Are you going to subscribe for 65 percent of the new shares?"

"yes. I want to make Chinese Real Estate bigger, hehe, I hope to be able to compete with Hongkong Land in the stock market in the future. ”

"I can boast that by 1994, Hongkong Land had a market value of more than HK$80 billion."

"I know, but only if Hongkong Land doesn't pay dividends and doesn't issue new shares."

Li Huawen looked at Li Hualong with a smile and asked, "How much do you think Hong Kong's housing prices will rise in the next nine years?" ”

"I dare not say that the increase will not be less than three times."

"The increase is not less than three times, that is, now 1,000 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, can it rise to 4,000 Hong Kong dollars?" Li Huawen saw Li Hualong nodding, he sighed, "You really dare to think about it." If the increase in housing prices is really so big, then the share price of Hongkong Land will rise even more, after all, in the next nine years, the company's profits will not be used for dividends, but all for investment, which can be profitable. ”

"It's just a prediction, whether it will come true, I don't know yet!" Li Hualong smiled, "Don't take it seriously. ”

"If the market value of Hongkong Land does not reach HK$80 billion after nine years, do you really plan to buy Hongkong Land's shares at this price?"

"Since I made a promise, I will definitely do it as long as I have the ability."

"You said that, I think within nine years, the market value of Hongkong Land will definitely exceed 80 billion Hong Kong dollars." Li Huawen picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and continued, "Third child, the more I think about it, the more I don't understand, at the beginning of '49, the magic capital was the most prosperous metropolis in the Far East, compared to the magic capital, Hong Kong was only a small port city at that time, why do you firmly believe that Hong Kong's prospects are greater than the magic capital?" ”

"We've discussed this before, right?" Li Hualong asked rhetorically.

"Maybe I said it, or maybe I didn't say it, you talk about it, I want to hear it." Li Huawen smiled.

"At that time, I thought that the GMD would lose to the Chinese Communist Party, and the Chinese Communist Party had just established its political power, and in order to maintain its rule, some policies would not be so flexible, and even if we capitalists were patriotic, we would not be able to make a difference in the business world."

"In those seven or seven years, how did you think that there was a new atmosphere in the mainland?"

"Analyzed. M also died, the Gang of Four was defeated, Wen G ended, and there was a new college entrance examination, and other signs that there were big changes in the mainland. Besides, I didn't do anything sorry for the Chinese Communist Party, and during the Korean War, I also donated materials to the mainland! ”

"What?" Li Huawen looked at Li Hualong with a little curiosity, "Why haven't I heard from you?" ”

"This matter needs to be kept secret, so I didn't tell you."

"Abba, do you know this?"

"Yes." Li Hualong nodded.

"What other secrets do you have that I don't know?"

"There are a lot of them." Li Hualong smiled, "Some secrets are not intended to be hidden from you, there is no need to tell you." You don't have a lot of secrets that I don't know. ”

"Yes." Li Huawen nodded with a smile.

After chatting a few words, Li Huawen said: "Huawu is now the leader of Zhejiang Province, is it possible to go further?" ”

"He is now a member of the Central =——9 Central =-Committee==, and further is a member of the Central =——9 Central Committee-==Political =-Committee==, even if you add a backup =-Committee== member, there are only about 20 people...... It's a little difficult, however, the second brother is young, not yet sixty years old, as long as the big guys in the middle =——9 central support him, it is still possible to become a member of the central =——9 central ==-political-=governance=- bureau, but if you want to become a member of the central=——9 central==-political-governance-bureau-standing committee=-member-=meeting-committee-member, it is too difficult, almost impossible. ”

"Is it because of our relationship?"

Li Hualong smiled noncommittally, he felt that this kind of thing was not too clear, and instead said: "It's very tiring to be a big official." ”

"I think in recent years, Huawu has become younger and younger." Li Huawen said with a smile, "He can now display his political == ambitions, he is happy in his heart, even if he is a little tired, he will be fine with big tonic pills." By the way, do you have any plans to go to the mainland recently? ”

"I plan to go to Hangzhou next month and donate to many universities in Zhejiang Province, in the name of the foundation (Li Yisong and Sons Foundation), and I will tell you first."

"You don't have to tell me, didn't you say it a long time ago, everything is up to you to decide the Foundation!" Li Hua Wenlong smiled and joked, "You are far richer than me, am I still afraid that you will fill your pocket?!" (To be continued.) )
