Chapter 258: Opening the Mountains and Expanding the Land and the Little Goblins

After staying at Zhao Yazhi's residence for a day, Li Hualong rushed home for dinner.

Li Hualong returned home and chatted with his family for a few words, and Yang Meng said: "This morning, Zhao Litong called you. โ€

After graduating from university, Zhao Litong joined Hualong Land, which was founded by Li Hualong, and later joined United Land as CEO.

"Did he say anything?" Li Hualong asked.

"Yesterday afternoon, United Land and the Hong Kong government negotiated an agreement to buy Kornhill." Yang Meng smiled.

"What a good thing!" Li Hualong smiled, raised his hand, and looked at his watch, "At this time, he should still be in the company, I'll give him a call and believe to find out." โ€

Li Hualong came to the phone and dialed the office of the CEO of United Land, and the person who answered the phone was Zhao Litong himself.

"Hey, hello." Zhao Litong said.

"Litong, me." Li Hualong smiled.

"Boss, are you home?" Zhao Litong said with a smile, he heard Li Hualong's voice.

"I just got home, and I know you called me to find out about the situation."

"The conditions are better than expected, United Land pays the Hong Kong government 50 million Hong Kong dollars, and after the leveling of Hong Shan, 8.8 million square feet of construction units can be built."

"Not bad, not bad!" @ๆŽๅŽ้พ™ๆปกๆ„้“, "When will you sign the contract?" โ€

"Sign tomorrow morning." Zhao Litong smiled, "Do you want to attend the signing ceremony?" โ€

"I'm not going, you're the CEO of the company, you just need to come forward."

"That's fine." Zhao Litong smiled, "I haven't congratulated you yet, congratulations on running another company to go public." โ€

"Thank you!" Li Hualong smiled faintly.

"After Huayi Brothers Media Group went public, the stock price has risen a lot, have you ever thought about selling and cashing out?"

"There are no plans to sell the stock for the time being, and besides. The stocks in my hands are all restricted shares, and I can't sell them for the time being. Li Hualong smiled, "How are you doing lately?" โ€

"It's okay, it's a good time." Zhao Litong said.

"Living a fulfilling life, that means you're busy with your salary?" Li Hualong said with a smile.

"It's not busy." Zhao Litong smiled, "Boss, you haven't come to work at United Land for a long time." โ€

"I've been busy with too many chores lately, so I don't have time. Besides, you're the CEO of United Land. I, the chairman, trust you very much, and it's okay if I don't go to United Land for a few months. โ€

"Whether you have time or not, there is one thing, I want to report back to you."

"Starting next month, new houses will be renovated in Taikoo Shing, and there are more than 200 houses in this batch. How is the price determined? โ€

"It's up to you to decide. The price is slightly higher, and if the sales are not good, it is sold at a discount to the company's internal employees. โ€

"Most of the employees who have worked for United Land for two years have bought a house in Taikoo Shing."

"Oh. That's right. Li Hualong muttered, thought for a moment, and smiled, "You make a price list first." After a while, I'll go to United Land, and we'll have a good chat. Now the property market is good, and the price is set a little higher. It may not be sold within a month or two, but as long as the house price continues to rise, it is not difficult to sell within half a year. โ€

"The price you said was set a little higher. It's very difficult! Zhao Litong said with a smile.

"Go ahead and do it, I believe in your abilities." Li Hualong said with a smile.

"I'd rather you don't trust me so much, hehe, I'm so stressed!" Zhao Litong complained with a smile.

"The remuneration of the company's executives is decided by the board of directors through negotiation, and it is useless for you to complain to me, I can't give you a salary increase casually. Hehe, be content, Litong, among the listed companies in Hong Kong, your salary is considered to be top. Of course, you have done a great job, and if the company's performance is good this year, when the board of directors meets at the end of the year, I will propose to give you a raise. โ€

"Thank you boss!"

"You're welcome. It's not early, I won't talk to you, you should leave work early. โ€

"Okay, goodbye!"

After Li Hualong hung up the phone, he came to his father and sat down.

Li Yisong asked: "Ah Long, just now I heard you say that you want to buy Kangshan, and you plan to level Kangshan and build a house?" โ€

Li Hualong smiled: "It's United Land, not me." โ€

"You're the chairman of this company, you don't have this idea, and United Land won't do it." Li Yisong smiled, took a sip of tea from his teacup, and continued, "How many shares of United Land do you have in your hands now?" โ€

"310 million shares."

"What is the shareholding ratio?"

"Less than thirty-five percent."

"Oh!" Li Yisong nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Has Swire Group increased its holdings in this company's shares, or has it persisted?" โ€

"There is no overweight, no underweight." Li Hualong smiled, "I have made various guarantees, and it can be said that all listed companies in Hong Kong are the safest to invest in United Land shares, and most banks in Hong Kong have opened United Land stock mortgage business." โ€

"What's the company's share price lately?" Li Yisong asked curiously.

"About HK$2 and a millimetre per share."

"It's as if you promised to buy this company's shares at a price of HK$2 per share by the end of this year." Li Yisong smiled, "If you use the shares of United Land Company as collateral now, how much can you borrow from the bank for 10,000 shares?" โ€

"You can borrow up to HK$24,000."

"So much?" Li Yisong was slightly surprised, "Since the bank is willing to borrow so much money, why not invest and buy it yourself?" โ€

"A number of banks in Hong Kong hold shares in UEC, and I don't expect them to hold less than 250 million shares. The total share capital of United Land is 900 million shares, Swire Group holds 300 million shares, I hold 310 million shares, and the proportion of shares held by retail investors is less than 40 million shares. โ€

"Aaron, do you think this situation is a little abnormal?" Yang Meng interjected with a smile.

"It's a little abnormal, who made me make a promise in the first place." Li Hualong smiled. "I believe that by the end of 1981, the market capitalisation of UP Land would have exceeded HK$5 billion."

"At that time, will you sell the company's stock?" Li Yisong asked.

"It depends, if the stock market is overheated, I will consider selling and cashing out." Li Hualong smiled, "Let's talk about it differently." By the way, Abba, Grandma, in just over two months, I'm going to Singapore. Would you like to spend a few days with me? โ€

"Interested?" Li Yisong looked at his wife with a smile and asked.

"I don't want to go, it's better to stay home." Li Song smiled.

"If your grandma doesn't want to go, I won't go." Li Yisong said, "In two months, what are you going to do in Singapore? โ€

"In two months, all the buildings of the large-scale mixed-use project I have invested in Singapore will be completed and put into use."

"Oh!" Li Yisong replied and asked, "Does this big project have a name?" โ€

"Orchard Mall." Li Hualong replied with a smile.

Li Yisong nodded and took the teacup to drink tea.

"How much did this project cost?" Liu Minchen asked curiously.

"It has spent 600 million Hong Kong dollars, with a construction area of more than 1 million square feet." Li Hualong smiled. "I invested HK$300 million into the project, and the rest of the money was borrowed from Hang Seng Bank's subsidiary in Singapore."

"What is the current deposit amount of Hang Seng Bank's Singapore subsidiary?" Li Yisong asked.

"Converted into Hong Kong dollars, more than 2 billion, Singaporeans know this bank as my holding company. Trusting the bank. โ€

"Just now I said that I would level Kangshan, and now I am talking about developing large-scale projects in Singapore, which is a bit of a mountain and land." Li Yisong smiled heartily.

"Expanding the mountain?" Li Hualong smiled, "Abba." It doesn't seem to be such a word, right? โ€

"Words are not all coined by people, just have that meaning, I think Abba said the word 'open up the mountains and expand the land'. Appropriate. Yang Meng said with a smile.

"Abba, mighty!" Li Hualong stood up with a smile, "You talk, I'll go upstairs to see the children." โ€

"We're almost done eating, let's wait a minute, let them come down for dinner." Li Song reminded.

"Got it."

Li Hualong walked up the stairs to the second floor and saw several children playing in the living room on the second floor.

"Dad, you're back!" The children greeted Li Hualong one after another.

"Come, let my dad hug you!" Li Hualong picked up each child and kissed them on the face.

"Is today's homework done?" Li Hualong asked with a smile.

"It's not done yet, we'll do our homework after dinner." Li Linwen said with a smile, she is the fourth child born to Xi Chongyi, born in August 1968, more than two months after her tenth birthday, and is now in the fourth grade of primary school.

Li Hualong sat in the living room on the second floor and chatted with his children for a while, and then asked them to call out his brothers and sisters who were studying in the bedroom and go downstairs to have dinner together.

That night, at about half past eight, Li Hualong entered Liu Minchen's bedroom, took off his clothes and pants, and went into the bathroom to take a hot bath.

When Li Hualong was taking a bath, Liu Minchen settled Li Shengyu, who was born for more than two months, and went to sleep, and she walked into the bathroom.

"Would you like me to give you a massage?" Liu Minchen smiled.

"No, you just gave birth to a baby, you should rest more." Li Hualong said with a smile.

"It's been more than two months since I gave birth to Sheng Yu." Liu Minchen said angrily, moved a small bench to sit next to the bathtub, and took the initiative to massage Li Hualong.

Li Hualong stared at Liu Minchen with a smile for a moment, and laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Liu Minchen glanced at Li Hualong with disgust.

"Let's go!" Li Hualong kissed Liu Minchen on the cheek and asked with a smile, "To be honest, do you want it tonight?" โ€

"yes!" Liu Minchen threw a wink, "Okay?" โ€

"Uh......" Li Hualong deliberately muttered.

"Humph!" Liu Minchen said coquettishly, "That little goblin of Zhao Yazhi squeezed you dry last night, right?" โ€

"What are you talking nonsense?!" Li Hualong smiled, "You give me a good massage, tonight, I will definitely feed you a full ......" (to be continued......) i1292
