After Li Huawen sat down, Li Shenghua said him a cup of tea, and smiled obediently: "Abba, drink tea." ”

"Thank you!" Li Huawen picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, looked at Li Shenghua with a smile, and asked, "You don't have to go to London in the future, what do you think about the future?" ”

"Abba, I want to work for a period of time in the third uncle's Greenland Architectural Design Company."

"Okay." Li Huawen nodded slightly, "Did you tell your third uncle?" ”

"Not yet. I want to take a few days off, get together with my classmates, and wait until New Year's Day before going to work, is that okay? ”

"Yes." Li Huawen smiled and said, "Sheng Hua, do you have a girlfriend?" ”

"Talked about it before, and now it's single. Hehe, Abba, my eldest brother is not married yet, don't worry about my marriage first. ”

"Don't think about finding a messy girlfriend." Li Huawen is colorful.

"What's the mess?" Zhou Liyun glared at her husband, "Sheng Hua has done something rebellious since he was a child, making you distrust him so much?" ”

"Not before, not in the future. I feel that Sheng Hua is very similar to his third uncle, and he is restless in his heart. ”

Li Shenghua didn't answer, and muttered to himself in his heart: "It's good that I have the ability of the third uncle." ”

"Aaron is more capable than you." Zhou Liyun quipped, "You don't deny it, do you? ”

"If you choose again, will you choose Aaron, or will you choose a man like me?" Li Huawen asked with a smile, he admitted that Li Hualong's business skills were better than him, but he felt that as a husband and father, he did better in these two aspects.

"Choose you!" Zhou Liyun smiled, "Happy, right? ”

"Happy!" Li Huawen smiled, "In many ways, I do better than Aaron." ”

"Abba, Third Uncle heard what you said. Will he be upset? Li Shenghua asked jokingly.

"No, your third uncle is not a stingy person. Besides, he laughed at himself a lot, saying that he was too distracted. Hehe, he's very good at this, he is self-aware, and he also knows that he owes his three wives......"

"What are you talking to your children about?" Zhou Liyun interrupted.

"Sheng Hua has grown up. In the past, it was inconvenient to talk about some things in front of him, but now, I think he should listen to them more, or else. In the future, he made a mistake and said that I, the father, did not teach him. ”

"Abba, please speak, I'm listening." Li Shenghua smiled.

"As a man, you have to be responsible, you have good academic performance in school, and you may not be able to mix in society, of course, you don't have to be like ordinary young people, after graduating from college. You have to rely on your own hard work, you go to work in your third uncle's company, he will definitely find the most capable architect to teach you, you. I went to the company, don't put on the shelf of my son......"

When Li Huawen was in a good mood, he talked a lot, and Zhou Liyun and Li Shenghua listened to him quietly with smiles on their faces.

After Li Huawen finished speaking. Li Shenghua asked, "Abba, when will the eldest brother come back?" ”

Li Huawen was slightly stunned, and he suddenly realized that he had a tirade. Li Shenghua may not have listened at all, the smile on his face suddenly retracted, and he said with a straight face: "You won't call him?" ”

"What kind of anger are you angry about, you can't talk to the child well?" Zhou Liyun said unhappily, "My father-in-law doesn't have such a big temper as yours. ”

"Hey!" Li Huawen smiled and sighed, raised his hand, patted Li Shenghua's shoulder, and asked, "Shenghua, you say, who is the biggest in our family?" ”

"Abba." Li Shenghua replied without hesitation.

"I heard your third uncle say such a witty thing before, a family, listen to the husband for big things, listen to the wife for small things, there are only small things in this family, there are no big things, and one listens to the wife."

"Am I as domineering as you say?" Zhou Liyun chuckled.

"Just kidding." Li Huawen smiled and changed the subject, "I'll stay at home for dinner today, and I'll be a guest at your third uncle's house tomorrow night." ”

"Okay, since the third uncle moved into a new house, every Christmas Eve and Christmas, except for no longer in Hong Kong, we all go to the third uncle's house for the holidays." Li Shenghua smiled.

"It's not a holiday, it's your sister Lynki's tenth birthday." Li Huawen said.

"Lynki's 10th birthday?" Li Shenghua was stunned for a moment and muttered, "I remember that her birthday is in early January." ”

"The second day of the lunar month is her lunar birthday." Li Huawen explained.

"Oh!" Li Shenghua suddenly realized, "I remember that Sheng Ren and Lin Qi's birthdays are less than a month apart, and they are going to celebrate their birthdays together?" ”

"Separated." Zhou Liyun smiled.

"Forget that Linqi and Sheng Ren are going to celebrate their tenth birthday, and I forgot to bring them gifts." Li Shenghua apologized.

"You didn't buy gifts for your siblings?" Li Huawen frowned and asked.

"I bought it, it's all some small gifts, the tenth birthday is a big birthday, and I can't care about giving small gifts." Li Shenghua paused and continued, "After dinner, I'll go shopping in Times Square and pick out two decent gifts for Lin Qi and Sheng Ren. ”

"It's up to you. Go home early. Li Huawen said.

"Go home after selling the gifts."

The next day, Li Linqi's tenth birthday, at her request, Li Hualong held a birthday party for Li Linqi at home, not only invited relatives and friends, Li Linqi also invited her classmates to her home as guests.

Li Linqi and Li Shengren's birthdays are less than a month apart, they are studying in the same school, they are still in the same grade, but they are in different classes, which means that they have different classmates, and because of this, they did not choose to get together for their birthdays.

Because it is Christmas Eve, and tomorrow is Christmas, Li Hualong's house is very beautifully decorated, some Christmas trees are placed, and colorful lights are hung on the Christmas trees, which is particularly festive.

In order to make the guests happy, especially the younger ones, Li Hualong has prepared a lot of Christmas gifts, as long as the guests who come to attend Li Linqi's 10th birthday, they will get a gift, these gifts are expensive and cheap, even if they are cheap, they are worth a month's income of an ordinary Hong Kong person.

At about seven o'clock in the morning on December 25, Li Hualong woke up, and in order to let Yang Meng sleep more for a while, he paid special attention when he got up and did not wake Yang Meng.

After washing, Li Hualong came to the desk and sat down, took out paper and pen to write an article.

After more than half an hour, Yang Meng woke up. Seeing Li Hualong writing at the desk, he smiled and said, "Ah Long, you have already woken up?" ”

"yes!" Li Hualong turned his head to look at Yang Meng with a smile, and looked at his watch, "The market price is still early, let's sleep for a while." ”

"Enough sleep." Yang Meng got up, and while getting dressed, he asked, "What are you?" ”

Li Hualong read to the title of the article: "The Real Estate Industry and Hong Kong's Economic Outlook for 1966." ”

"What are you writing this for?" Yang Meng asked puzzled.

"I am ready to take the name of the president of the Hong Kong Real Estate Builders Association. Publish this article, talk about the real estate shape, and hope that the Hong Kong property market will appreciate at the peak at the end of last year as soon as possible. ”

"Do you really think that next year, the property market will recover?"

"yes!" Li Hualong said with a smile, "I have listed a lot of reasons in the article to clarify the desire of the Hong Kong property market to recover in the second half of next year. ”

"What is the reason, let's hear it." Yang Meng asked curiously.

"First, Hong Kong's natural population is growing at an astonishing rate, with more than 100,000 people growing every year. More than 10,000 sets of buildings are needed every year; Second, in the past few months, many real estate operators have been in an unprofitable situation. Abandonment of operation, resulting in a small number of site starters and reduced building production; Third, the Hong Kong government has continued to take some remedial measures against the real estate industry; Fourth. After more than a year of sales, there are not many new buildings left, and there will be a shortage of stock in the future. There is a phenomenon of short supply; Fifth, banks understand the temporary difficulties of the real estate industry, and do not overly pursue the loans; Sixth, the situation in Southeast Asia is volatile, with a lot of capital flowing into Hong Kong, some of which will also be invested in the real estate industry. ”

Li Hualong said six reasons in one breath, and after finishing speaking, he said with a smile: "It's okay to write, right?" ”

"Sounds reasonable. However, some reasons are very reluctant, the growth rate of Hong Kong's natural population can be calculated, and the number of buildings needed each year can also be estimated, but the number of families who can really afford to buy a house is difficult to estimate. Also, you said that the situation in Southeast Asia is unstable, a lot of capital flows into Hong Kong, some of which will be invested in the real estate industry, and a lot of capital is how much, and some of it is an imaginary number, which may have little impact on the recovery of Hong Kong's property market. ”

"Hearing you say this, I feel that the article written by the funds is worthless, and if it is really published in the newspaper, it will be a shame."

"No, I'm talking nonsense." Yang Meng smiled, "I think your writing is very good, don't be confident." ”

"Your husband and I have never lacked self-confidence. Whatever you say, after I write this article, you have to help me read it and help me change it. ”

"Okay." Yang Meng responded with a smile, climbed out of bed, walked to the side of the crib, looked at Li Shengcong and Li Linhui who were sleeping, and said with a smile, "It's rare for two children to sleep so long at the same time." ”

As soon as Yang Meng finished speaking, Li Linhui woke up and cried, Li Linhui's crying woke up Li Shengcong, and Li Shengcong also cried.

"Come over here and help!" Yang Meng hugged Li Linhui and comforted, "Huihui, what are you crying about, my mother is here ......"

Li Hualong hurriedly stood up, hugged Li Shengcong, kissed his son on the face with a smile, and said with a smile: "Ah Cong, men are not allowed to cry." ”

When Li Shengcong heard the word "manly", it was like a conditioned reflex, and he immediately stopped crying.

A few months ago, when Li Yisong was playing with Li Shengcong, Li Shengcong cried, Li Yisong casually said "Manhood is not allowed to cry", Li Shengcong stopped crying, at that time, Li Yisong paid attention, and later tried a few times, and found that saying the word "manly" can make Li Shengcong not cry.

Li Yisong told his family about his discovery, after this time, Li Hualong's family had one more interesting thing, when Li Shengcong cried, someone would rush to say to him, "Manhood is not allowed to cry", even Li Shengrui and Li Linqi also came over to join in the fun.

"Don't talk to Sheng Cong about this." Yang Meng took a bite of Li Hualong.

"Isn't it interesting?" Li Hualong said with a smile.

"Ah Cong is still young, if he says this, he will have the conditions to launch, and if he gets used to it, it will definitely be bad for him." Yang Meng said seriously, "Wait a while, when I have breakfast, I want to talk to everyone, and I am not allowed to say that to Ah Cong in the future." ”

"Okay, I won't talk about it later." Li Hualong smiled and kissed Li Shengcong on the cheek.

Li Hualong's beard was tied to Li Shengcong, and Li Shengcong was suddenly displeased and cried.

"Ah Cong, don't cry, don't cry, Dad is not careless. Laugh one, hehe......"

Li Hualong comforted him for a while, and Li Shengcong stopped crying.

The next day, the day after Christmas, Chinese Estates held a board meeting, which focused on the company's listing.

Founded in 1922 by Fung Ping-shan and Li Guanchun, Chinese Estates is a long-established Chinese-owned company in Hong Kong with a number of high-quality properties.

Since its establishment, Chinese Estates has been jointly run by the Feng and Li families, and at this time, Fung Bingfen became the chairman of Chinese Estates.

After some discussions, a number of directors said that it was very difficult for the Chinese real estate company to go public, because at this time there was only one stock exchange in Hong Kong -- the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and the stock exchange was controlled by British capital, and the listing conditions stipulated by this stock exchange were extremely strict, and many large-scale Chinese-funded enterprises were rejected from listing applications.

"The listing conditions are strict, which is relative." Feng Bingfen smiled, "Last month, the newly established United Land Company was not listed, and this company has two properties under its name. ”

"Bingfen, do you mean to cooperate with Li Hualong?" Li Fushu asked.

"Yes. I have already talked to Li Hualong before, and he is willing to inject the commercial building under his name into the Chinese Real Estate Company and help the Chinese Real Estate Company go public. ”

Feng Bingfen picked up a few pieces of paper placed in front of him, distributed them to the people sitting on the left and right, and said with a smile: "Let's take a look, there are information on the two commercial buildings." If the price is right, Li Hualong is willing to inject the two buildings into the Chinese Real Estate Company. ”

Li Fushu received the paper handed over, looked at it carefully, and asked in a deep voice: "How many shares does Li Hualong want to exchange for these two buildings?" ”

"Forty-five percent." Feng Bingfen replied, "When the company went public, it did not issue new shares, and he took out 15 percent of the shares and sold them. Let's think about it, I agree with this plan, and Li Hualong becoming a shareholder of Chinese Real Estate Company is beneficial to the company's development. ”

"Forty-five percent of the shares, a fixed price, no need to negotiate?" A director, surnamed Lee, asked.

"There's no need to talk about it, if the shares are too small, then Li Hualong will feel at a loss and not choose to cooperate with them." Feng Bingfen said.

"Can he guarantee that Chinese Estates will definitely go public, and when it goes public, he will sell 15 percent of the shares?" Li Fushu asked.

"Guaranteed." Feng Bingfen smiled, "Actually, even if it is not listed, Li Hualong injected these two buildings into the Chinese Real Estate Company and obtained 45% of the shares, and we will not lose money." ”

"Forty-five percent of the shares, that's too much." Li Fushu shook his head and said, "As long as there are people here who support Li Hualong, he can become the chairman of the board of directors of the Chinese Real Estate Company." ”

"In the Hong Kong business community, Li Hualong's reputation is still very good, many people have worked with him, and almost no one says bad things about him behind his back. Also, Li Hualong is the largest shareholder of Hang Seng Bank, and it is not difficult for him to become the chairman of the board of directors of Hang Seng Bank, but he does not, and I also know that he has a good relationship with every director of Hang Seng Bank. Fukuki, I think your worries are unnecessary. Feng Bingfen said with a smile.

"Hopefully my worries are unwarranted." Li Fushu said lightly that he knew that most of the directors welcomed Li Hualong's stake in the Chinese Real Estate Company too much, and he couldn't change this, so he didn't say anything more.

In the end, the members of the board of directors of the Chinese Real Estate Company voted to accept Li Hualong's offer of shares. (To be continued......)
