One night in mid-November 1967, Li Hualong spent the night in Yang Meng's bedroom.

Before turning off the lights and going to bed, the two of them lay on the bed and talked about a lot of topics.

"Aaron, how did you come up with the idea of acquiring Amoy University, you are also interested in brewing soy sauce?" Yang Meng asked puzzled.

"Isn't that strange?" Li Hualong asked with a smile.

"It's kind of weird." Yang Meng smiled slightly, "You can't make much money brewing soy sauce, right?" “

"Don't underestimate the condiment production enterprises, the business is bigger, and the annual profits are very lucrative, after all, every household will use condiments."

"I've heard that Lee Kum Kee's soy sauce sells better than Taoda's soy sauce."

"I originally planned to harvest Lee Kum Kee Company, but the boss of this company said that I couldn't sell my ancestral business, so I didn't give me a chance to bid at all, so I had to retreat and harvest Taohua Datong Company."

"You are also surnamed Lee, and you can't buy Lee Kum Kee, so create a brand with the word Lee and fight Lee Kum Kee in the ring." Yang Meng joked.

"This is good!" Li Hualong really Yang Meng's construction is good, pondered for a moment, and said with a smile, "Then it's called Li Fuji, and the English name is leesfood...... What do you think? ”

"Do you really want to create Lee Fu Chi?"

"Of course. Lee Fu Chi, this brand name, I think it's pretty good. Don't you think? ”

"Li Fuji, this name is very good. Hehe, I just said casually, Lee Kum Kee and Lee Fu Chi are just one word, aren't you afraid that others will sue you for trademark infringement? ”

"What's there to be afraid of, if the trademark Li Fuji can be successfully registered, then use it, if it can't be successful, don't use it. If you succeed, you don't have to worry about infringing on other people's trademark rights, and we don't have to be afraid of lawsuits. Maybe a lawsuit. It can make the newly established Lee Fu Chi famous. Li Hualong smiled, "Actually, the acquisition of Taohua Datong Company is also very good, this company's factory covers a large area, and it can be demolished and rebuilt into a residential area in the future." ”

"I've heard you say a lot about how high prices in Hong Kong will rise in the future, what price do you think they will rise?"

"Housing prices in Hong Kong are more expensive than those in New York."

Yang Meng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and sneered: "It's so possible, you are too whimsical, if Hong Kong's housing prices are really that expensive." There are a few people who can afford to live in a house. ”

"Hong Kong is backed by the mainland, and in the future, the mainland will undergo earth-shaking changes, and Hong Kong can get a lot of benefits from it. In addition, most of the residents of Hong Kong are Chinese, and the Chinese are hard-working, and Hong Kong is a free port and a deep-water port, which can be built into a world-class port...... Advantageous conditions, too many, too many. Someday. Hong Kong's per capita income will surpass that of Americans. ”

"You're too daring to think about it." Yang Meng smiled, she listened to her husband's explanation, and still felt that what her husband said was a bit whimsical, "Hong Kong is so busy. The government is corrupt, there is little social welfare, and Hong Kong is small, even if it will improve in the future. The economy will grow, but Hong Kong's per capita income will exceed that of the United States...... If it were possible, it would take a long, long time. Maybe half a century is not enough. ”

"Half a century?" Li Hualong smiled faintly. "It doesn't take that long."

"Then let's wait and see, I remember what we just said." Yang Meng smiled.

"Decades from now, will you remember?"

"A good memory is better than a bad pen, tomorrow, I will write it in my diary, on the title page."

Li Hualong smiled noncommittally, pressed the plump on Yang Meng's chest, and gently kneaded it a few times, not feeling too good, and involuntarily revealed a bad smile.

"Don't make it bad." Yang Mengjiao said angrily, pushed Li Hualong's hand away, and asked with a smile, "When you get richer and richer in the future, will you do any business?" ”

"Not really." Li Hualong paused and continued, "For example, in the shipbuilding industry, I won't ...... No, in the future, I may buy a yacht manufacturing company, and building yachts is quite interesting. ”

"Interesting? Hehe, don't you think you can make money, just for fun? ”

"Isn't it better to be fun and make money?!" Li Hualong smiled and kissed Yang Meng on the cheek, "There are a lot of businesses, and I won't do it." For example, cigarettes, smoking is harmful to health. ”

"What about the wine?" Yang Meng asked again, "Drunkenness still hurts your body!" ”

"I am still very interested in the wine industry, and I plan to go to France, the United States, and Australia in the future to acquire several wineries, and in the future, I can go to the mainland to buy liquor factories and rice distilleries." Li Hualong said.

"Go to the mainland to buy liquor factories and rice distilleries?" Yang Meng looked at Li Hualong with a little surprise, "Do you think this is possible, will the mainland welcome capitalists like you?" ”

"Which do you think is more advantageous, a socialist planned economy or a capitalist market economy?" Li Hualong asked rhetorically.

Yang Meng was stunned when he heard this, thought for a while, and said: "I can't say one or two sentences clearly, I think the market economy is more advantageous." ”

"In the future, there will also be a market economy in China."

"A socialist market economy?"

"yes. This kind of market economy operates under the conditions of public ownership as the mainstay and the common development of economies under various forms of ownership, and the distribution of personal income is mainly based on distribution according to work, and the goal is to achieve ......common prosperity." Li Hualong suddenly felt that he had said too much, smiled brightly, and did not continue to speak.

"You're a visionary." Yang Meng looked at her husband with a little admiration.

"If my prediction comes true, it's visionary, and if it doesn't, it's a fantasy."

"Do you think your prediction will come true?"

"It's not unlikely, but I can't guarantee it will come true." Li Hualong sighed lightly, "Sleep." He reached for the light.

"Why did you sigh just now?"

"I feel bad when I think of my country, which is full of disasters and difficulties." Li Hualong sighed.

"Don't think about it, go to sleep!" Yang Meng gently kissed Li Hualong on the lips, "Xianggong, good night!" ”

"Good night, dear wife!" Li Hualong laughed.

"Don't laugh, sleep, I'm sleepy."

"Okay, let's not talk about it, let's talk tomorrow morning!"

The next morning, when the two got up, Yang Meng had a smile on his face.

"What's wrong, did you dream last night?" Li Hualong asked with a smile.

"Hmm!" Yang Meng nodded with a smile and said, "Today's school holiday, the children are all at home, don't you go out?" ”

"Don't go out, stay at home with your children, and be a good one!"

A few days later, on November 19, the first TV station opened by TVB - Jade Channel, officially launched, and at 9 o'clock, the 14th Macau Grand Prix was broadcast live with microwave technology, which was the first live broadcast in Hong Kong.

At 16 o'clock, Jade TV held a launch ceremony at the Starlight Walk in Tsim Sha Tsui, and the then Governor Tai Lun-toe came by helicopter to preside over it, and Li Hualong, as an important shareholder of the TV station, also participated in the launch ceremony.

After the launch ceremony, Dai Lintoe took the initiative to chat with Li Hualong.

He entertained Dai Lintoe once at his home, and invited Dai Lintoe's family to a meal at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel with Yang Meng, and Li Hualong participated in many receptions held by the Hong Kong government many times.

Li Hualong and Dai Lintoe have a good personal relationship, and Dai Lintoe admires Li Hualong's talent.

As long as the Hong Kong government does not give him a stumbling block, he is confident that through the method of buying low and selling high, he can obtain amazing wealth from the stock market and the property market, and his industry will continue to grow and develop.

"Mr. Li, I've often seen reports about you in the newspapers lately." Dai Lintoe smiled.

"Most people are optimistic about Hong Kong's prospects, but I am optimistic about Hong Kong's prospects, and I regard this as an opportunity to buy on dips. Li Hualong said with a smile.

"Mr. Lee thinks Hong Kong will become more and more prosperous under the notice of the United Kingdom?" Dai Lintoe asked with a smile.

"I hope Hong Kong is getting better and better." Li Hualong did not answer Dai Lintoe's question directly, although he did not want the Chinese Communist Party to recover Hong Kong now, he felt that he still had a patriotic heart, and by 1997, Hong Kong must return to the embrace of the motherland.

Dai Lintoe's think tank has analyzed Li Hualong's political outlook and believes that he accepts the fact that the Communist Party of China rules the mainland and hopes that the Communist Party of China will make the country rich and strong, but he is somewhat jealous of the policy of the Communist Party of China, which is in line with Ming Pao's political tendencies.

Li Hualong secretly donated money to the mainland, and Dai Lintoe and other high-level officials of the British and Hong Kong governments did not know, which made him add a lot of points to the British government in Hong Kong.

The next day, TVB Jade Channel's premiere program "Happy Tonight" became the most popular TV variety show for Hong Kong people soon after the bid was opened.

In the future, "Happy Tonight" became one of the longest-lived TV variety shows in the world, and until Li Hualong's death, this show did not stop broadcasting, and in order to attract more audiences, it will be reformed every few years.

Since TVB is a free-to-air broadcast, viewers quickly fell behind.

In the early days of TVB's launch, there were not many local production zuò, and local news programs were the mainstay. On the other hand, the British government in Hong Kong required wireless broadcasting of Western programs on the license, and the United States broadcaster was also a shareholder of wireless at the beginning of its establishment, so this period was flooded with a large number of foreign programs dubbed in Cantonese.

Li Hualong did not interfere with the current situation in the early stage of TVB's development, although he was the director of this company, he did not participate in the daily management of the TV station, and he believed that Li Xiao and the chairman could manage it well.

Li Xiaohe still values Li Hualong's talent very much, he has repeatedly asked Li Hualong for the construction of the TV station, Li Hualong did not bother too much, and thought of a few ideas casually, in the eyes of later generations, these ideas are very cliché and have been used rottenly, but after Li Xiaohe heard it, he was very surprised, and all accepted Li Hualong's construction, and used these construction yì in the operation and management of TVB, which provided a certain boost for the development of TVB.
