Chapter 236: Money is not everything

On the flight back to Hong Kong, Li Hualong and Yang Meng spent most of their time sleeping.

Yang Meng woke up and saw Li Hualong reading the documents, smiled slightly, and rubbed his cheeks with both hands.

Li Hualong saw that Yang Meng had woken up, and greeted him with a smile: "Mengmeng, wake up." ”

"Wake up!" Yang Meng smiled, raised his hand and looked at his watch, "In just over an hour, we will be back in Hong Kong." ”

"Time flies." Li Hualong glanced at Yang Meng with a smile, "In the next few days, you can stay at home and rest, and spend time with the children." ”

"Oh!" Yang Meng nodded with a smile, "What about you, take a day off at home tomorrow?" ”

"I'm going to work tomorrow, I'll be busy for a few days, and when I'm done with the work I've accumulated recently, I'll give myself a few days off."

"Don't tire yourself out." Yang Meng smiled, "By the way, I remember that in 1971, your real estate company had a lot of real estate projects started, and your eldest brother's construction company didn't have enough employees, so you found other construction contractors to cooperate, and now you want to build two large residential projects on two ranches under the dairy company, you didn't think about creating it yourself, or buying a construction company?" ”

"I thought about it, I'm doing it." Li Hualong said with a smile.

"Which construction company are you going to buy?" Yang Meng asked in a low voice.

"Golden Gate Construction Company." Li Hualong replied, "A few days ago, I called back to Hong Kong, at that time, I had already acquired 32 percent of the shares of Gammon Construction, and in recent days, I have been buying shares in this company, and I am ready to buy this company as a wholly owned company." ”

"Gammon Construction is a listed company, and you are wholly owned. Want to delist this company? ”

"Yes, it's better to delist."

Yang Meng glanced at Li Hualong a few times, and asked with a smile: "In addition to Gammon Construction, which listed companies are you going to acquire as a wholly-owned company?" ”

"Except for the Golden Gate Building, there are no such plans for the time being. However, I think that the stock prices of many companies in the Hong Kong stock market are now undervalued, and I am ready to invest in buying some and then sell them for cash when the stock market is good. Li Hualong smiled faintly, "Don't say it." It's not interesting to talk about these things, I haven't seen the children for more than ten days, and I miss them a lot. ”

"With so many children, who do you miss the most?" Yang Meng asked with a smile.

"First of all, Sheng Rui and Lin Qi." Li Hualong replied without hesitation.

"Why? You said it. Not partial to children. ”

"They are going to be admitted to university next year, and it is human nature that I care more about them." Li Hualong explained with a smile.

Li Shengrui and Li Linqi are very smart, study hard, and have good grades, Li Hualong has thought about donating money to well-known universities in the United States or the United Kingdom, so that he can help his children enter the ideal university in their minds, but he just thought about it. He has never told his wives and concubines, let alone his children, that he hopes that his children will work hard. If you have poor grades, don't go to a first-class school.

"Money is not everything!" Li Hualong thinks so in his heart, he knows that many things can be solved with money, but he is not willing to solve everything with money, he spends money to let his children get a graduation certificate from a prestigious school. But he can't buy knowledge, he's not a person with a heavy diploma. He did not require his children to go to prestigious schools, as long as they did not waste their time. Even if you study in an ordinary university for four years, you can still learn a lot of knowledge if you are willing to do it.

"Lin Yu is about to graduate from Cambridge University, she majored, what kind of work will she do after graduation?" Yang Meng asked.

"I don't know, my eldest brother and I have never talked about this topic." Li Hualong smiled and suggested, "The next time you see your sister-in-law, you have to ask her." ”

"If Lin Yu wants to work in the Ming Pao newspaper, will you help her?"

"I don't need my help, she is also a graduate of Cambridge University, and the newspaper welcomes talent like her." Li Hualong smiled, "At the beginning of last month, Sheng Hua (Li Yisong's second son) left Greenland Architectural Design Firm and joined the Chinese Group under Big Brother. ”

"You should have fired Sheng Hua a long time ago." Yang Meng said with a smile, "The eldest brother has two sons, and such a big family business will be inherited by the Shenghua brothers in the future." Shenghua joins the Chinese Group as soon as possible to work better......"

"Stop." Li Hualong interrupted with a smile, "The eldest brother has said, even if he has a bit of patriarchal thinking, as long as Lin Yu adds a husband who satisfies him, he will give one or two percent of his children to Lin Yu and his grandson in the future." ”

"You brothers are still talking about this?" Yang Meng said curiously.

"If you don't talk about this kind of topic, how can there be many topics to talk about?"

Yang Meng smiled noncommittally and asked, "What about you, you always say that you are not partial, not patriarchal, what do you think?" ”

"A lot of ideas won't stay the same, my thoughts now are ......" Li Hualong said and paused, smiled and shook his head, "I don't have too many ideas, compared to those rich people who leave most of the inheritance to their sons, I will definitely be more generous to my daughter." As long as my daughter and son-in-law are good enough, especially those who are talented in business, I am willing to strongly support them in developing their own careers, and I am also willing to hand over the company I founded to them to inherit. Hehe, do you think it's boring to talk about this topic? ”

Yang Meng quipped: "Whether you feel bored or not now, but I know that in the future, you will not have a headache." ”

"Shh Li Hualong put his right index finger between his lips and said with a smile, "This kind of topic is not good for others to hear." ”

"Stop talking." Yang Meng smiled slightly, picked up a part of the magazine and flipped through it.

More than two hours later, at about 10:30 a.m. local time in Hong Kong, Li Hualong and Yang Meng arrived at their home in Repulse Bay, Hong Kong Island.

On this day, the family knew that Li Hualong and Yang Meng were coming back from the United States, and Li Yisong, Xi Chongyi, Chen Sisi, and Liu Minchen did not go out to work and deliberately stayed at home.

Chen Sisi is more than four months pregnant, and she spends most of her time at home recuperating, but at least two days a week, she goes to work. She is very concerned about the development of Jeanswest Clothing Company, and some important documents of the company require her signature, and if she does not appear in the company for a long time, it will affect the company's operations.

The family met and greeted warmly. Li Hualong smiled and took the initiative to hug his father Li Yisong.

"After a few days in the United States, I have become a foreigner." Li Yisong said with a smile.

"Abba, in the United States, there are very few people who hug me, under normal circumstances, just shake hands. I miss you so much, so, I want to hug you. Li Hualong smiled, opened his arms, looked at his mother and said. Grandma, let's hug too. ”

Li Song did not refuse, she was willing to be close to her son, hugged her, and said, "Okay, enough, you can also hug Chongyi, Sisi and Chenchen." And your children, they miss you so much. ”

"Yes, everyone hugs."

After a while. Li Hualong sat on the sofa with his family and chatted hotly.

At around eleven o'clock, lunch was ready, and the family transferred the land and came to the restaurant.

Seeing the sumptuous lunch, Li Hualong smiled and said, "I'm going to drool." You can't eat such delicious food in the United States. ”

"Aaron, noon today. You eat more. Li Song said with a smile, she has always felt that it is a kind of happiness for a person to eat, drink and sleep.

"Don't listen to him." Li Yisong said with a smile. "When he was in the United States, he didn't want to eat Western food every day, so it was not difficult to find a restaurant at home. I've heard that there are a lot of Chinese restaurants in Los Angeles and New York, and many chefs in Hong Kong have immigrated to the United States to open restaurants in order to make more money. ”

"The dishes made by the Chinese restaurants in the rice country compound the taste of the rice people, I think it is very inauthentic and I don't like it." Li Hualong added a piece of fish meat from the big yellow croaker, tasted it, squinted his eyes and smiled, "It's so delicious, the fish made by the rice people is not as delicious as the fish made by us Chinese." ”

"Don't worry about talking, eat more food, such a table of dishes, if you can't finish it, it will be wasted." Li Song smiled.

Li Hualong sandwiched a piece of sea cucumber, put it in his mother's bowl, and said, "Grandma, you also have to eat more." ”

"Just eat well, don't overeat." Li Yisong smiled and said, "The children are listening, usually, we educate our children like this, not to eat too much." ”

"Abba's right." Li Hualong said with a smile and sandwiched a piece of braised pork ribs for his father, "Braised pork ribs, Abba, your favorite." ”

The whole lunch was very warm and everyone ate very well.

After lunch, the family came to the living room and continued to chat.

After chatting for more than ten minutes, Yang Meng began to feel sleepy.

"Sister Mengmeng, Aaron, go back to the house and sleep, it's jet lag." Xi Chongyi suggested with a smile.

"I slept on the plane, and I was still a little sleepy." Yang Meng smiled slightly and turned his head to look at Li Hualong.

"I'm a little sleepy too." Li Hualong smiled and yawned, "Let's go take a nap first, and in the evening, after dinner, our family will have a good chat." ”

Bidding farewell to their families, Li Hualong and Yang Meng went upstairs together and entered the bedroom.

"Would you like to take a shower?" Yang Meng asked.

"Let's take a bath and get comfortable." Li Hualong smiled.

"You sit on the bed for a while, and I'll go get some hot water."

"I don't need to put hot water anymore, and it's not cold now." Li Hualong said and began to undress.

Ten minutes later, the naked Li Hualong walked out of the bathroom with Yang Meng, who was wrapped in a bath towel.

"Hah!" Yang Meng dozed off a few times in a row, and said with a smile, "I'm sleepy, why am I so sleepy?" ”

"There are so many mysteries in this world, don't think too much about it now, get some sleep." Li Hualong gently put Yang Meng on the bed.

Li Hualong was lying on the bed, saw Yang Meng looking at him with a smile, and asked, "Aren't you sleepy?" ”

"Sleepy." Yang Meng smiled, "Sleep, don't quarrel with me." ”

Yang Meng closed his eyes after speaking, Li Hualong stared at his wife with a smile for a moment, kissed her softly on the lips, and smiled: "Mengmeng, have a good dream." ”

"Daydreaming, this is a daydream, right?" Yang Meng opened his eyes and grinned.

"It's nice to daydream." Li Hualong closed his eyes as he spoke.

Yang Meng was really sleepy, so he didn't continue to chat with Li Hualong, closed his eyes again, and fell asleep after a while. (To be continued)
