The Carrefour Center has not yet opened, and for safety reasons, people entering and leaving the building will need to carry a temporary pass, or they will be blocked by security guards.

Li Hualong is the boss of the Carrefour Group, every employee of the company knows him, and some may not have seen him in person, but they must have seen his photo, and his face is the pass.

Walking to the gate of the Carrefour Center, the security guard standing at the door saw Li Hualong, and hurriedly bowed down and greeted: "Chairman, good!" ”

Li Hualong smiled and said, "Hello, hard work." ”

Walking in, Yang Meng asked, "Has Lane Crawford opened a branch here?" ”

"Of course, I opened a branch, and now Lane Crawford is a wholly owned company under my name."

Yang Meng asked again: "Lane Crawford is a department store retail company, and the Carrefour Group is also a retail company, you didn't merge Lane Crawford into the Carrefour Group?" ”

"I don't have any plans yet."

"With the opening of such a large mall and the great promotion efforts, it will definitely attract a lot of customers to shop, you have to pay attention to safety, there are too many customers, and accidents are prone to occur."

"The Carrefour Group is not a small company that has just been established, it has a lot of experience and will be well prepared." Li Hualong paused as he spoke, and sighed, "Full of calculations, your husband has been working hard in the business world for 20 years!" ”

"Yes, I remember that in early 1949, you founded the Chinese Real Estate Company." Yang Meng smiled, "The night before yesterday, we also lamented that time flies. ”

Take Yang Meng unimpeded into the interior of the Carrefour shopping plaza.

At this time, many employees are placing goods on the shelves.

"How does it feel?" Li Hualong asked with a smile.

"Well, it feels good, and it feels better when the shelves are full." Yang Meng smiled slightly, "Such a big supermarket, no, it's a shopping plaza." Hiring a lot of employees, right? ”

"I don't know how many employees this shopping mall has, if you want to know, you can ask Yunshan."

"I'll just talk about it casually."

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive." Li Hualong smiled and pointed to Bao Yunshan, who was chatting with the employees not far away, "Let's go, let's go over and say hello to Yunshan." ”

Before he got closer, Bao Yunshan noticed Li Hualong and Yang Meng, and greeted him with a smile: "Boss, boss lady." Come and inspect it! ”

"Mengmeng hasn't been here yet, go shopping with her." Li Hualong smiled and said, "Yunshan, this shopping plaza is doing a good job, it's all your credit." ”

Bao Yunshan smiled and said: "This hat is also a little too big, many things are your idea, I just completed your instructions, but there is no great credit." ”

"Brother Yunshan, don't be modest. Without you, the Carrefour Group would not be where it is today. Yang Meng smiled and said, "Ah Long, you have to thank Brother Yunshan." It's not as simple as saying thank you. ”

"Mengmeng, I don't need you to say these things to me." Li Hualong smiled and said, "You can ask Brother Yunshan, all these years." I have not treated him badly. ”

"You have not done me any wrong." Bao Yunshan smiled and joked, "I hope you treat me a little better." In that case, I won't have to work hard for you. ”

"I'm using a trick!" Li Hualong said happily, "In ten days, no, there will be no more than ten days, just ten days, this place will open, is it too late?" ”

"As long as there are no knives in the sky, there will be no problem." Bao Yunshan assured.

"What advertising needs to be done, what money should be spent, you come to that decision, don't try to save me money. The crowd is the tide of money, and I really hope that Carrefour China and West can bring prosperity to the surrounding popularity. ”

"The opening of the Carrefour shopping mall has been very promoting, and the tenants who have rented the Carrefour center have also participated in the promotion, and I believe that after the opening, it will definitely attract many people to shop." Bao Yunshan smiled, "Boss, in fact, I think as long as you are willing to spend money, it is not difficult to get crowds." ”

"You can't always have a discount every day." Li Hualong said, "There are people who do the business of cutting off heads, and no one wants to do loss-making business." At first, I lost some money in order to make more money in the future. ”

"The business of cutting off heads, will you do it?" Yang Meng interjected with a smile.

"With your husband's current worth, is it necessary to do the business of cutting off heads?" Li Hualong asked with a smile.

Yang Meng smiled noncommittally, and turned to Bao Yunshan and said, "Brother Yunshan, please take us around." ”

"Okay, this way, please." Bao Yunshan stretched out his hand to invite, "There is nothing to see in the shopping mall, but the atrium of the Carrefour Center is beautiful!" ”

"Yunshan, this can't come out of the mouth of you, the general manager of Carrefour Group, let customers hear it, the impact is not good." Li Hualong quipped.

"The impact is also the impact of your business!" Bao Yunshan said with a smile.

"Brother Yunshan is right." Yang Meng laughed hilariously.

"Loser's!" Li Hualong glared at Yang Meng.

"You dare to say that...... I said," Yang Meng feigned anger and reached out and twisted it around Li Hualong's waist.

"Shhh Li Hualong took a breath of cold air and said with a wry smile, "Just kidding, you can't hear it?!" ”

"Hmph, I heard you, and you are not allowed to say that about me."

"Okay, okay, I apologize, I don't dare in the future." Li Hualong begged for mercy.

Yang Meng smiled, changed the topic and asked: "This building has two parts: the base and the high seat, has the high seat been renovated?" ”

"Under renovation." Li Hualong replied, "Leasing will start at the end of this month. ”

Yang Meng asked, "How much did it cost to build this building?" ”

Li Hualong replied with a smile: "Not counting the land price, it is estimated that the cost will exceed 70 million." ”

"That's a lot." Yang Meng muttered, walked a few steps, and asked, "This building is a property owned by the Carrefour Group, right?" ”

"Yes." Li Hualong smiled, "Do you want to ask about the debt ratio of Carrefour Group?" ”

Yang Meng smiled noncommittally and did not answer.

Li Hualong asked himself: "Carrefour Group's debt ratio is very low. ”

Bao Yunshan found a topic and asked: "Boss, if you are willing to sell the Carrefour Center, how much do you estimate you can sell now?" ”

Li Hualong smiled: "It's hard to say now, I estimate that after the opening, there will be people willing to bid 200 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the Carrefour Center." ”

Yang Meng asked with a smile: "Will the bank accept the stock price you said?" ”

Li Hualong smiled and said: "I don't need the bank to accept it, I don't have the idea of taking a Carrefour mortgage for the time being." ”

At this time, Li Hualong, Yang Meng and Bao Yunshan came to the atrium of the shopping center.

"Wow. It's beautiful! Yang Meng exclaimed, "Who designed it?" ”

Li Hualong smiled a little proudly: "The theme structure of this building was designed by me. ”

"The theme structure is very average." Yang Meng smiled, she deliberately belittled Li Hualong, "I like the detail design here!" ”

"It was designed by Li Shenghua." Li Hualong was not angry and smiled.

"Sheng Hua is really talented." Yang Meng said with a smile.

"Sheng Hua is quite talented, but he is still a little worse than the boss, who is his idol." Bao Yunshan interjected.

"Yunshan, just rely on your words. I'm going to give you a year-end bonus! Li Hualong said happily.

"It's over, in your eyes, I've become a sycophant character." Bao Yunshan smiled bitterly.

"You're both in your early forties, so don't play tricks." Yang Meng quipped.

Li Hualong and Bao Yunshan looked at each other and smiled, and hugged each other.

Li Hualong and Yang Meng spent nearly two hours at the Carrefour Center, and at noon, they went to the Shangri-La Hotel with Bao Yunshan for lunch.

During lunch, Yang Meng asked, "Ah Long, what are your arrangements for the afternoon?" ”

"After lunch. Let's go home. Li Hualong replied, and then said to Bao Yunshan, "Yunshan, after the opening of the Carrefour Center." You're definitely going to be busy for a while, these days, don't get tired. ”

"Thank you boss for your concern." Bao Yunshan raised a glass of juice.

Li Hualong also picked up a glass of juice and touched it. took a sip of juice and said, "Yunshan, thank you for all these years." ...... without you."

"Don't say kind words, you've never treated me badly." Bao Yunshan interrupted with a smile.

"Don't talk about it, eat vegetables!" Li Hualong said with a smile.

Ten days later, on Sunday, January 12, at eight o'clock in the morning, the Carrefour Center was grandly opened, and Li Hualong attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Seeing hundreds of customers queuing up to enter the venue, Li Hualong was happy, and Bao Yunshan, the general manager of Carrefour Group, was also very happy.

"Boss, no accident, the Carrefour Center is going to be on fire." Bao Yunshan said with a smile.

"Before getting off work tonight, you talk to the employees, now there is more than a month before the New Year, let everyone work hard for a month, if you can achieve satisfactory results, the year-end bonus must be thick."

"What kind of results will make you satisfied?" Bao Yunshan asked with a smile.

"Uh......" Li Hualong pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "I won't mention specific requirements, as long as everyone works hard, Carrefour Group's performance this year is good, as long as there is no big leakage, the year-end bonus of old employees will definitely be richer than last year, and the specific increase depends on everyone's evaluation." ”

Li Hualong stayed at the Carrefour Center for half a day, and at noon, he had lunch at a restaurant in the Carrefour Center with Bao Yunshan and other senior executives of the Carrefour Group.

After lunch, Li Hualong went home, today is Sunday, the children who have gone to school are on vacation, he prefers to stay at home and spend more time with the children.

"Dad, you're back!" As soon as Li Hualong returned home, his children greeted him warmly.

"Miss Daddy, right?!" Li Hualong smiled, reached out and touched each child's head, there were too many children, he didn't want to hug each child.

"The Carrefour Center is open, it's very lively, right?" Li Yisong asked with a smile.

"It's very lively, fortunately, I was well prepared, and some employees were temporarily transferred to help, otherwise, there would be trouble." Li Hualong smiled.

"As long as you can handle it." Li Yisong smiled, "By the way, Ah Long, you haven't invited Mr. Sanyu to your house for a while, you call him and invite him to come to the house for dinner tonight." ”

"He's not at home now, he's going to Lantau Island to sketch." Li Hualong said.

"How do you know?" Li Yisong asked.

"A few days ago, I didn't go home directly after work, I went to his house for a while and listened to what he said." Li Hualong smiled and said, "I am going to hold an art exhibition for Mr. Sanyu around the Mid-Autumn Festival after the New Year. ”

"The year before last, you held an art exhibition for Mr. Sanyu, and the price of his paintings was very good, I always wanted to ask you, how many were sold?"

"I sold six oil paintings, all of which were bought by business partners for face, and Song Songhai also bought one." Li Hualong smiled, "In the future, the price of Mr. Sanyu's paintings will definitely rise sharply, and they have bought the paintings now, which can be regarded as taking advantage." ”

"I see that you have bought enough antique calligraphy and paintings, and you will buy fewer in the future." Li Yisong built yì road.

"Abba, what do you say you're making money for?" Li Hualong asked with a smile.

Li Yisong was stunned when he heard this, thought for a while, nodded with a smile: "Isn't making money just to make a better life for yourself and your family, it's not a bad thing that you like to buy antique calligraphy and paintings, I don't object to it, support you!" ”

"Thank you, Abba!" Li Hualong smiled, "Speaking of antique calligraphy and painting, I have long thought about setting up an auction company, and in recent months, I have also set up an art auction company, and I have thought of the name, Li Liansong Auction Company, using our and grandma's surnames." ”

"Li Lian Song ......," Li Yisong said with a smile, "This name is very good." ”

"Abba, after the establishment of the company, you served as the honorary chairman?" Li Hualong said with a smile.

"It's not necessary. If you're not going to find someone to set up a joint venture company, just you're the boss, so don't make so many superficial articles. Li Yisong said.

"If you don't agree, forget it." Li Hualong smiled, "Next year, I plan to build a Li Lian Song Building in Central. ”

"Central? Where exactly? Li Yisong asked curiously.

"Across from Times Square."

Li Yisong was slightly stunned, and suddenly thought that several buildings opposite Times Square had been acquired by Li Hualong, and asked, "Are you going to demolish and rebuild several houses such as the Yao Ning Building and the Asia Bank?" ”

"Yes." Li Hualong smiled and nodded, "I have already acquired most of the ownership of the nearby Yefeng Building, and I will continue to acquire the remaining small part of the ownership, and in the future, this building will also be demolished, and it will be demolished and rebuilt together with several houses such as entertainment theaters." ”

"Yefeng Mansion is still a new house, right?"

"It was completed the year before last, and it was split and sold at that time, and if I had enough funds at that time, I might consider buying it all, so I bought a three-storey unit. In the last year or so, I have bought some more units. ”

"The house that has just been built, you want to demolish it, I obey you." Li Yisong smiled bitterly.

"Twenty years ago, who would have thought that there were so many high-rise buildings in Hong Kong!" Li Hualong said with a smile.

"That's right." Li Yisong glanced at Li Hualong with a smile and admonished, "No matter how you judge the trend of Hong Kong's economy and property market in the future, you must control the debt ratio of the enterprises under your control." As the old saying goes, a gentleman doesn't stand under a wall, and you really don't need to take big risks now. ”

"Abba, to be honest, the debt ratio of my current companies is not very high." Li Hualong said with a smile.

"Whether it's high or not, you know it in your own heart. Let's not talk about business, the weather is nice today, you can take the children to the yard to play. ”

"Okay!" Li Hualong stood up, clapped his palms, and said to the children who were playing on the side, "Children, go to the yard with Dad to play football." ”

"Oh, playing football!" The children cheered.

Seeing the bright smiles on the faces of his children, Li Hualong was also happy, and turned to Chen Sisi and Liu Minchen and said: "Sisi, Chenchen, you are pregnant, you should bask in the sun more, so it will be good for the child in the belly." Abba, Mom, go for a walk in the yard too, and ...... together."

"Let's go." Li Yisong smiled and said, "Although I am older, I can also play football with my children." ”

In the days with his family, Li Hualong felt that time passed very quickly, and before he had finished playing, an afternoon had passed. (To be continued......)
