After washing, Li Hualong came to the gym, sat for more than 20 minutes of exercise, sweated, returned to the bedroom, took a hot bath, and felt very refreshing. "≤ Ding" ≤ "≤ Xiao" ≤ said, X.

Li Hualong walked out of the bathroom naked, picked up the clothes and pants that Yang Meng put on the bed for him, and put them on.

Sitting on the bed and holding the child, Yang Meng smiled and asked, "Who are you going to have lunch with at noon today?" ”

Li Hualong replied with a smile: "And the directors of Hang Seng Bank." ”

Yang Meng paused and asked again, "Is there a restaurant in the Hang Seng Bank Building?" ”

"Yes, there are several restaurants, and I should have lunch at the Cantonese restaurant Longxuan at noon today."

Li Hualong smiled and continued, "I am a shareholder of this restaurant. The chef of this restaurant is very good, and I will take you to dinner after a while. ”

"Okay!" Yang Meng smiled slightly, "Longxuan is a high-end restaurant? ”

"It's a high-end restaurant, and the chef used to work at the Hilton Hotel."

"The chef is also one of the shareholders of the restaurant?" Yang Meng asked curiously.

"Yes." Li Hualong smiled, "I'll say more at a time, so I don't have to ask you more." ”

"Okay, you say!" Yang Meng smiled.

"I own 30% of the shares of this restaurant, Ho Sin Heng and Lee Guowei are also shareholders of this restaurant, they each hold 15% of the shares, and the management team of the chef and other restaurants hold 40% of the shares." Li Hualong paused and continued, "The chef of the restaurant used to work at the Hilton Hotel, he and Li Guowei were friends, under Li Guowei's construction, the chef left the Hilton Hotel with a few colleagues, last year, I tasted the dishes made by this person, and I felt that his level was very high, so I joined the shares. ”

"Inviting you to taste the dishes just to invite you to invest in shares?" Yang Meng asked with a smile.

"That's right. Lee Quo Wei invited me to take a stake in this restaurant. Li Hualong smiled, "You really have a lot of questions." ”

"I'm not done yet. I want to ask a few more questions, can't I? Yang Meng said angrily.

"Okay, you ask." Li Hualong put on his clothes and pants, sat on the bed, and looked at Yang Meng with a smile.

"Li Guowei is the general manager of Hang Seng Bank, he is a senior executive of the bank, he should have a lot of money, why does he take more shares?" Yang Meng asked puzzledly, "You have so many hotels under your control, even if you take a stake in Longxuan Restaurant, you can't go to this restaurant often." ”

"Lee Kwok Wei is not a founding shareholder of Hang Seng Bank. Although he holds a stake in Hang Seng Bank, the proportion is very low, the bank is not yet listed, and it is not easy for him to cash out, and I guess he is reluctant to sell the stock. He was a senior bank executive, and his income was quite high, but in six or six years, he invested in buying a few houses and took out a loan from Hang Seng Bank. Later, housing prices plummeted, leaving him depressed to death. Li Hualong said with a smile, somewhat gloating.

"Isn't the house price going up now, as long as he doesn't buy a house. He'll earn it. ”

"He didn't sell the house before, and if he sells the house now, he will definitely make money, but. Running a large upscale restaurant, renting space, and renovating. All cost a lot of money...... Also, Lee doesn't think it's profitable to run a high-end restaurant. ”

"What about you?" Yang Meng smiled, "Do you think you can make a lot of profits?" ”

"I don't think so, but I think the chef is very skilled, and I definitely won't lose money by investing in this restaurant. At that time, I didn't think too much about it, I just felt that there was a need for a high-end restaurant in the Hang Seng Bank Building, hehe, and as a shareholder of a high-end restaurant, I would go to the restaurant in the future, and I didn't have to wait, and I could eat food that ordinary customers couldn't taste. ”

"You're not talking nonsense!" Yang Meng quipped, "Even if you don't have a stake in this restaurant, if you come to this restaurant to eat, the restaurant owner will make you wait, and he will definitely try his best to make delicious food for you to taste, hoping that you will become a repeat customer." Also, you own a number of high-end hotels, and I don't believe that the chefs of these hotels are not as good as the chefs of Longxuan Restaurant. ”

"Each has its own merits, and the chef of Long Xuan Restaurant is likely to be the best in Hong Kong in terms of Cantonese cuisine. When you taste the dishes made by Chef Long Xuan, you will definitely praise his cooking skills. Li Hualong said and opened his arms, "I'll hold the child." ”

Yang Meng carefully handed the baby in his arms to Li Hualong and asked, "Go downstairs for breakfast?" ”

"If you don't want to go downstairs, I'll have the maid bring your breakfast to the bedroom."

"I can't walk a few steps upstairs and downstairs, and if I really can't walk, I can still take the elevator." Yang Meng said and stood up, "Let's go, let's have breakfast, it's not early." ”

Walking out of the bedroom, Yang Meng asked, "Does Abba know that he will attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the inauguration of the Hang Seng Bank Building this morning?" ”

"I told him a long time ago, and I told him about it last night."

Yang Meng smiled as he walked, "You didn't show off, did you?" ”

"What's on display?" Li Hualong asked puzzled.

"Investing in Hang Seng Bank has been a great success!" Yang Meng smiled.

"I didn't show off, but Abba praised me for having vision." Li Hualong said happily.

One hour, Lee Wah Lung and Lee Yat Chung went out in a car to the Hang Seng Bank Building in Admiralty.

On the way, Li Yisong asked: "The former headquarters of Hang Seng Bank is called Hang Seng Bank Building, right?" ”

"yes, now that building has been renamed and changed to the Shiye Building."

"Shiye Building?" Li Yisong smiled slightly, "What do you mean by the beginning of entrepreneurship?" ”

"It should mean this, He Bo discussed and decided with Li Guowei and other senior executives of the bank, and I felt that the name was not bad, so I did not object."

At around nine o'clock, Li Hualong and Li Yisong drove to the parking lot of the Hang Seng Bank Building.

After getting out of the car, Li Hualong asked, "Abba, just now, did you see my eldest brother and them?" ”

"I'm not blind, more than a dozen people gathered at the door of the building, how could I not see it." Li Yisong smiled and said, "Don't rub it in, don't make them wait for a long time." ”

Li Hualong raised his hand, looked at his watch, and said with a smile: "The auspicious time for cutting the ribbon has not yet arrived, and the governor of Hong Kong must not have come yet." ”

"The Governor of Hong Kong can come to the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and you still want him to wait for you?" Li Yisong glared at Li Hualong, "You lead the way in front." ”

"Well, I'm glad I came here a while ago, otherwise. I can't really figure out how to get out of the parking lot. Li Hualong said with a smile.

After a while, Li Yisong and Li Hualong walked to the south gate of the Hang Seng Bank Building, and met Ho Shanheng, Zhao Wende, Li Huawen and Bao Yunshan and other directors, all of whom had arrived before them.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm late." Li Hualong smiled and bowed, and apologized on his lips, but there was no apology on his face.

"It's not too late, it's just right!" He Shanheng said with a smile.

After chatting for more than ten minutes, the Rolls-Royce car in which Governor Dai Lintoe rode drove to the door of the building. Didn't drive into the parking lot.

After the Hong Kong governor got off the car, Li Hualong and others immediately stepped forward to greet him.

After a few pleasantries, the auspicious time came, and twelve people stood at the gate, ready to start cutting the ribbon.

Ho Shanheng, chairman of Hang Seng Bank, smiled: "Ah Long, you stand in the middle." ”

He Shanheng knew very well in his heart that if Li Hualong was willing and wanted to run for the chairman of Hang Seng Bank, he would definitely lose. In addition, over the years, Li Hualong has respected him very much and supported his work, and he is very willing to give Li Hualong more face on this occasion. He also thought that in a few years, he would take the initiative to abdicate and elect Li Hualong as the chairman of Hang Seng Bank.

Li Hualong smiled and waved his hand, refusing: "Uncle Li." Are you the chairman, or are you standing in the middle? ”

Li Yisong smiled and said, "Lao He, you're welcome." ”

"You're welcome, then." He Shanheng smiled. He stood in the middle with Governor Trench Lun-toe.

Twelve people lined up, and everyone took the scissors from the hands of the hostess, and cut them together against a long red ribbon.

After the ribbon cutting, everyone applauded.

"Mr. Ho, congratulations and wish Hang Seng Bank a stronger and stronger bank and contribute to the economic prosperity and development of Hong Kong." Hong Kong Governor Tai Lun-toe smiled and shook hands with Ho Sin Heng.

"We'll try!" He Shanheng nodded with a smile.

"Mr. Li, congratulations!" Dai Lintoe shook hands with Li Hualong.

"Thank you, Mr. Dai Lintoe, for attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Hang Seng Bank Building today, thank you!" Li Hualong thanked him.

Next, Dai shook hands with the other directors of Hang Seng Bank, and after a few words, he took his leave.

Li Hualong and others stood at the door of the building and watched Dai Lintoe leave in a car.

"Uncle Ho, you say, when will our Hang Seng Bank be able to surpass it?" Li Hualong pointed to the unfinished HSBC investment building not far away.

"Maybe within seven years, Hang Seng Bank will be able to surpass HSBC." He Shanheng replied with a smile.

"I'm more optimistic, if within two years, Hang Seng Bank goes public, within five years, Hang Seng Bank's market capitalization will surpass HSBC." Li Hualong smiled confidently.

"I hope so!" Ho Shanheng smiled and sighed, "In my lifetime, I can see Hang Seng Bank surpass HSBC, and I will die without regrets." ”

"Uncle He, you are so strong, you have no problem living for another half a century." Li Hualong smiled and said, "Surpassing HSBC is not the goal of Hang Seng Bank, I hope that one day in the future, Hang Seng Bank can become the largest bank in the world by market capitalization." ”

"The largest bank in the world by market capitalization?" He Shanheng looked at Li Hualong with a little surprise, and smiled, "Your heart is too big, I really don't dare to imagine like this!" ”

"Although it is an exaggeration for mainlanders to say how bold people are and how productive the land is, I still think that Hang Seng Bank has the potential to become the strongest bank in the world." Li Hualong smiled and said, "Don't stand at the door, go inside, I don't want to come to the Hang Seng Bank Building next time and find the chairman's office." ”

"Ah Long," He Shanheng smiled, "I have arranged an office for you, and you, the largest shareholder, will have to come here to work more often in the future." ”

"Why didn't you tell me in advance?" Li Hualong was puzzled that before, Hang Seng Bank did not have a special office for Li Hualong.

"I'm afraid I told you in advance, but you resolutely don't." Ho explained, "I've been to your office in Hua Long Building, and your layout at Hang Seng Bank is very similar, if you don't like anything, you can change it. ”

"I'm not very demanding of the office, so I'll definitely like it." Li Hualong smiled.

Two or three minutes later, Li Hualong and his entourage came to the door of Li Hualong's office.

"My office is inside, and in the future, after you become the chairman of Hang Seng Bank, the two offices will be opened up, redecorated, and two will become one." He Shanheng said and pushed open the door of the office.

Li Hualong walked in and looked around a few times. He smiled and nodded, "It's pretty good." ”

He Shanheng asked with a smile: "Ah Long, you don't blame me, you arranged this office for you on your own initiative, right?" ”

"No, no!" Li Hualong hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile, "I like this office very much." ”

Li Huawen saw the beautiful Victoria Bay scenery through the window and exclaimed, "This office is amazing! ”

Li Hualong smiled and said, "Big brother, your office in Jiu'an Mansion is no worse than here, right?" ”

Li Huawen smiled and said, "The design of the Jiu'an Building is not as beautiful as the Hang Seng Bank Building. If I had seen the design of this building, I would have snatched it from you. ”

Li Guowei said with a smile: "This is the building specially designed by Aaron for Hang Seng Bank, and you can't grab it if you want to." ”

Li Huawen joked: "Sometimes, Ah Long listens to the biased, and the good things are kept for his own use." ”

Li Hualong smiled noncommittally, changed the topic and said: "I haven't paid attention to the operation of Hang Seng Bank for a while, and all the directors are here today, which is very rare, I have set up an informal board of directors." Let's talk about the latest situation of Hang Seng Bank. ”

"Okay, I have prepared before, as of the end of last month, the number of Hang Seng Bank is jù. I've got it all here. He Shanheng smiled and stretched out his hand to invite, "Let's go to the conference room." ”

At the board meeting, Li Hualong heard various counts that satisfied him. I thought that in another four years, Hang Seng Bank's market value was expected to surpass HSBC.

At around half past eleven, Li Hualong and his party came to Longxuan Restaurant. As soon as they sat down, less than two minutes later, the waiter began to serve the food.

After tasting the dishes carefully prepared by the chef, Li Yisong praised: "The Cantonese food in this restaurant is very good. ”

"Abba, just good?" Li Hualong asked with a smile.

"Great!" Li Yisong smiled slightly, "I didn't order the food just now, who ordered it a long time ago?" ”

"In the morning, I greeted the chef and asked them to prepare some specials." Li Guowei smiled.

"No wonder the food comes on so quickly." Li Yisong smiled.

"Abba, it's not because you ordered early, but there are three people here who are shareholders of this restaurant." Li Huawen said with a smile.

"Which three people?" Li Yisong asked curiously.

"I, Uncle Ho, and Manager Li." Li Hualong replied with a smile, "The food is current, talk less and eat more!" ”

After lunch, Li Yisong, Li Huawen and Bao Yunshan left the Hang Seng Bank Building together, while Li Hualong stayed, and he was going to talk to the senior management of Hang Seng Bank to learn more about the bank's operating conditions.

This morning, Li Yisong and Li Hualong came in a car, and when he left, he did not take Li Hualong's car, but took a car with Li Huawen, and he was going to go to Jiu'an Building, where the headquarters of Jiu'an Group is located.

"Abba, I'm the chairman of the Bank of East Asia, and I continue to serve as a director of Hang Seng Bank, isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Li Huawen asked.

"If you don't think it's right, you can resign as a director." Li Yisong smiled and said, "Actually, you don't need to talk to me about this, just talk to Ah Long." I, the listed director, don't care about Hang Seng Bank at all. ”

"No matter what Aaron thinks, I will resign as a director of Hang Seng Bank."

Li Yisong smiled noncommittally and said, "I feel that in the past two years, the Bank of East Asia has opened quite a few branches in Hong Kong. ”

"Yes, in the last two years, the strength of BEA has grown quite rapidly." "I also want to let the Bank of East Asia go public after the listing of Hang Seng Bank. ”

"How many times is the difference between the earnings of the two banks now?"

"Hang Seng Bank's profit in the first half of this year is more than 20 times that of Bank of East Asia in the first half of the year."

"Such a big difference, huh?" Li Yisong was surprised.

"The profit difference in the bank's retail business is not so big, but Hang Seng Bank has invested in buying a lot of stocks, and in the past six months, the stock market has been good, and the stock price of the shares held by Hang Seng Bank has risen a lot, and the book profit of investing in stocks has increased significantly...... At the board meeting this morning, didn't Li Guowei introduce it, and you didn't pay attention to it? ”

"I'm not interested, I'm in a fugue." Li Yisong said with a smile.

As soon as the father and son chatted a few words, the car drove into the parking lot inside the Jiu'an Building.

After getting out of the car, Li Huawen looked at his father with a smile and said, "Abba, will you go to my office for a while?" ”

Li Yisong said: "Find someone to accompany me around." ”

"That's good," Li Huawen turned to his bodyguard and said, "Xiao Wang, you can accompany my father." ”

"Okay!" The bodyguard surnamed Wang nodded with a smile.

That afternoon, Li Yisong stayed in Jiu'an Mansion for more than an hour, and he asked his bodyguard Xiao Wang to drive him home. (To be continued......)
