At the beginning of March, Global Shipping Group changed some of its registration information, and the company's total share capital was changed from 20 million shares to 2 billion shares, with the Bao Yugang family holding 1.05 billion shares, HSBC holding 500 million shares, and Li Hualong holding 450 million shares.

One evening in late April, Li Hualong came home from work, called his four wives and concubines, and sat together in a pavilion in the courtyard, eating fruit and chatting.

Yang Meng smiled and asked: "Ah Long, in a few days, the Global Shipping Group will be listed, and on the night of the listing, we will hold a listing celebration banquet, right?" ”

"Yes!" Li Hualong smiled and nodded, "You can accompany me to this banquet." ”

"I'm not going, I'm still breastfeeding and can't drink." Yang Meng glanced at Liu Minchen as he spoke, and continued to say to Li Hualong, "You better take Chenchen there." ”

"Okay!" Li Hualong smiled and said, "Chenchen, there's no problem, right?" ”

"What can I do, on the first day of May, I'll just have a day off." Liu Minchen smiled.

"It's okay, you spend more time with your children at home." Li Hualong said with a smile.

"Aaron, after the listing of Global Shipping Group, do you think the stock will rise sharply?" Chen Sisi asked curiously.

"Judging from the situation of shareholders subscribing for new shares, after listing, the stock price is likely to rise, but I don't expect that the increase will be very large. After all, based on the issue price, the market value of this company reached 3.6 billion Hong Kong dollars. Li Hualong replied.

Global Shipping Group issued 400 million new shares at an issue price of HK$1.5 per share, raising HK$600 million and subscribing for more than HK$5 billion, which exceeded the expectations of many people, including Li Hualong and Bao Yugang.

"If the stock price doesn't rise, it has little to do with the total market value of the company, right?" Xi Chongyi smiled slightly.

"Uh......" Li Hualong smiled and nodded, "It doesn't matter much." It mainly depends on the company's profitability and industry prospects. ”

"Aaron, which company is the world's largest shipping company by market capitalization, do you know?" Xi Chongyi asked with a smile.

"I really don't know." Li Hualong shook his head, "Chongyi, you know? ”

"I don't know." Xi Chongyi pursed his lips and smiled.

"The next time I see Brother Bao, I'll ask him, I guess he will know." Li Hualong said with a smile.

"I just said it casually, there is no need to ask." Xi Chongyi smiled.

"Always find a topic to talk to, it's an interesting topic."

A few days later. On May 1, Global Shipping Group was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

On this day, Li Hualong came to work in Hualong Real Estate Company.

After a meeting of more than an hour, Li Hualong returned to his office to read the text, and from time to time someone came to his office to report work, or asked him for an autograph.

At around half past eleven, Li Hualong felt a little hungry, put down the text in his hand, and walked out of the office. looked at the secretary Wu Lijie with a smile and said, "Ajie, let's go to lunch together!" ”

"Okay!" Wu Lijie replied with a smile.

Li Hualong and Wu Lijie chatted while walking and chatting about the elevator. I met Zhao Litong, deputy general manager of Hualong Real Estate Company, who was Li Hualong's college classmate.

"Boss, why don't you go to lunch?" Zhao Litong asked with a smile.

"Let's go together!" Li Hualong smiled.

"Okay. There is a free lunch, how could I say no! Zhao Litong said with a smile.

"You're in for a treat today." Li Hualong said with a smile.

"With you as a big boss, are you embarrassed to let me have a treat?" Zhao Litong said in a teasing tone.

"I'll treat you to a treat. Not without reason. At the end of six or seven years, I advise you to invest in buying a house and buying stocks, and you can calculate it yourself, how big is the book income? ”

Li Hualong smiled and continued, "Shouldn't you invite me to a meal?" ”

"I'm please, I'm not pleased!"

At this time, the elevator arrived, and the three of them walked into the elevator together.

"Boss, how long do you think this bull market will last?" Zhao Litong asked.

"I hope it can last more than two years." Li Hualong said lightly.

"Hope......" Zhao Litong muttered, falling into deep thought.

"What do you think?" Li Hualong asked with a smile.

"It depends, maybe after the Chinese New Year, I will buy some stocks to cash out and pay off the loans for a few houses. I think that in the future, when the stock market and the property market are not good, the stock price of listed companies will fall more than the house price. In the case of no foreign debt, if you hold a few more houses, even if the stock market and property market fall into a quagmire, you can still live a good life. ”

"Kind of makes sense." Li Hualong nodded with a smile, turned his head to look at Wu Lijie, and asked, "Ajie, what do you think?" ”

"Half of it I use to buy stocks, and half of it I use to buy houses." Wu Lijie smiled.

There is a flyover between Hualong Building and Times Square, Li Hualong and others go to the Cultural Oriental Hotel for lunch, there is no need to cross the road at all, and there is no wind and sun in the whole process.

After coming to the private room of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel and sitting down, and ordering a few dishes, Zhao Litong asked: "Boss, do you know the opening price of Global Shipping Group after its listing today, and the closing price of the morning closing?" ”

"I don't know." Li Hualong lied, "You know? ”

"The opening and closing prices are both HK$1.62."

"If you go to work and do something unrelated to work, I'm going to deduct your salary." Li Hualong joked with a smile.

"I ......" Zhao Litong smiled helplessly, "If you want to deduct my salary, I will bear it." ”

"Have you invested in this company?" Li Hualong asked curiously.

"At the time of issuance, 20,000 shares were subscribed." Zhao Litong replied, glanced at Li Hualong a few times, and asked with a smile, "What price do you estimate to be able to rise within half a year?" ”

"More than HK$6 per share." Li Hualong smiled.

"You're not talking nonsense!" Zhao Litong didn't take Li Hualong's words seriously at all, "Within half a year, it is impossible for the stock of Global Shipping Group to rise three times, and even if the two canals of Panama and Suez are closed, it is impossible for the stock price of Global Shipping Group to rise so much." ”

"You don't know much about international trade." Li Hualong shook his head with a smile, "If these two canals are closed for half a year, it is normal for the stock price of Global Shipping Group to rise tenfold." ”

"This kind of thing is impossible to achieve, you can say whatever you want, you are the boss, can I still argue with it?!" Zhao Litong said with a smile.

Li Hualong smiled noncommittally, changed the topic and said: "You are also a shareholder of Global Shipping Group. Tonight, let's go to the listing celebration banquet of Global Shipping Group! ”

"Even if you don't say it, I'll go." Zhao Litong said with a smile.

"You got an invitation?" Li Hualong asked with a little curiosity.

"A lot of people in our company got invitations." Zhao Litong smiled slightly, looked at Wu Lijie, and asked, "Ajie, you also got the invitation letter, right?" ”

"Got it!" Wu Lijie nodded.

At this time, the waiter served the food.

Liu Minchen did not go to work that day, stayed at home to rest, around four o'clock in the afternoon. Li Hualong got off work.

Back home, Li Hualong chatted with his family for more than two hours.

At around half past six in the evening, Li Hualong and Liu Minchen drove out together to attend the Shangri-La Hotel to participate in the listing celebration banquet of Global Shipping Group.

"Aaron, what is the closing price of Global Shipping Group's stock today?" Liu Minchen asked curiously.

"HK$1.6 per share."

"Compared with the issue price, the increase is less than 6.7 percent, although the increase is not large, but the market value of the global shipping group is amazing." Liu Minchen sighed, "At this price." The market value of this company replied that it was 3.84 billion Hong Kong dollars! ”

"It's amazing!" Li Hualong smiled and nodded, was silent for a moment, and sighed, "Sixteen years ago." When the company was first established, its market value was only a few million Hong Kong dollars, and after years of development, Global Shipping Group has become a leader in Hong Kong's shipping industry. Even Brother Bao is called the king of ships! ”

"You hold 450 million shares of this company, with a market value of 720 million Hong Kong dollars, back then. You have invested 2 million Hong Kong dollars, and the return on investment is as high as 360 times! ”

"Your husband has the ability, right?" Li Hualong said smugly.

"My husband is the most capable." Liu Minchen grinned, and took the initiative to offer a fragrant kiss and kissed Li Hualong on the cheek, "Back then, did you think about getting such a high return on investment?" ”

"Nope!" Li Hualong told the truth, he really didn't think that in less than seventeen years, this investment would allow him to obtain a high rate of return of 360 times.

"Since the establishment of the Global Shipping Group, it has never paid dividends to shareholders?" Liu Minchen asked curiously.

"Not really."

"After the listing, will dividends be paid to shareholders?"

"Yes. Brother Bao mentioned before that after the company goes public, it will give shareholders a bonus once a year. ”

After a while, Li Hualong and Liu Minchen came to the banquet site, and Bao Yugang, who was talking to others, saw Li Hualong and said that he was not accompanied, so he walked over to Li Hualong and said with a smile: "Ah Long, you are late, you will be punished for drinking!" ”

"Brother Bao, I'm drunk, but I'm going crazy with wine." Li Hualong joked, "You're not afraid that I'll mess up tonight's banquet?" ”

"I guess most people want to see how Hong Kong's God of Wealth is crazy about alcohol." Brother Bao also made a joke.

"You're too bad." Li Hualong said with a smile.

"Aaron, brother and sister, go get a glass of wine here, let's have a few drinks."

"Brother Bao, don't feed me on this occasion, if you find someone to drink with you, I will help you find a few right away."

"I didn't mean to pour you, but on an occasion like tonight, I'm happy, I must drink a few more glasses!"

On this night, the global shipping group listed to celebrate the banquet, the company's chairman Bao Yugang is the biggest protagonist, he almost every guest who participated in the celebration banquet touched the wine glass, Li Hualong is also the protagonist, many guests took the initiative to talk to him, and toasted him.

Li Hualong was very restrained and didn't drink much, but he drank quite happily.

Li Hualong and Liu Minchen returned to the door of their homes by car, Liu Minchen looked up at the starry sky, looked at Li Hualong with a smile, and said, "The weather is good today!" ”

Li Hualong walked to Liu Minchen's side, took her hand, and smiled: "If you don't drink tonight, I must accompany you to see the stars." ”

"You don't have to watch it for a long time."

"Then we'll go in later." Li Hualong smiled, raised his head, looked at the starry sky, pointed to the Big Dipper in the sky, and said, "That's the Big Dipper." ”

Liu Minchen glanced at the direction of Li Hualong's finger a few times, and said with a smile: "I saw it, seven stars, composed of a spoon-like shape." ”

The two stood at the door and looked at the stars for a while, Li Hualong smiled and said, "Let's go, let's enter the house!" ”

Walking into the door, Liu Minchen asked, "Do you want to drink sobering tea?" ”

"I didn't drink anymore, I didn't drink much tonight." Li Hualong replied, "Take a shower and go to sleep." ”

The two servants were sitting in the living room watching TV, the sound of the TV was very low, and when they saw that the master was back, they quickly stood up and greeted respectfully: "Master, madam." ”

"Stop watching TV, get off early."

"Yes, ma'am!" The two servants answered.

Liu Minchen walked to the side of the crib and gently picked up his sleeping son, Li Shengyi.

When taking the elevator upstairs, Liu Minchen whispered: "Last night, I took a shower, and I won't wash it today." ”

"Don't you want to take a mandarin duck bath with me?" Li Hualong asked with a wicked smile.

"You're tired today, take a shower early and rest early." (To be continued......) R1292
