Chapter Forty-Seven: The Toad Palace Mansion

Li Yisong was 10,000 satisfied with Li Hualong's ability to do business, but he was somewhat worried that Li Hualong's "light yƬ" would achieve great success, and he would be empty-eyed because of this, and he was naturally happy to see that Li Hualong had not changed much.

"Big brother, the seventeen-story building you invested and built in Causeway Bay has been renovated, right?" Li Huahu asked.

"It's almost finished, and there's some finishing touches. On the first of next month, the residential building was officially put up for sale. ā€

"What's the name of the building?" Li Huahu asked again.

"Toad Palace Mansion."

"Toad Palace Mansion...... That's a good name! Li Huahu said with a smile, "You can pick the stars with your hands, and you are afraid of the people in the sky." After the completion of the Toad Palace Building, it replaced the Huaguo Bank Building in Central (note, the China * National Bank Building) as the tallest building in Hong Kong. ā€

Li Hualong smiled noncommittally, the name of the Toad Palace Building was not his original, he plagiarized the name of the building invested by Fok Yingdong, and the land used for the Toad Palace Building he invested in was purchased from the Lee Hysan family. During Li Hualong's travel in Hong Kong in the 80s, he entered the Li Stage Square and also saw the Toad Palace Building.

After comparison, Li Hualong felt that the Toad Palace Building he invested in and the Toad Palace Building invested by Fok Yingdong were in the same location, and it was because of this that he named the building he invested in "Toad Palace Building".

It's just that Li Hualong felt that the commercial and residential building he built covered a larger area, and he spent a full 4 million Hong Kong dollars to invest in this building.

"The price of the house has been set, right?" Li Huawen asked.

"It's settled." Li Hualong replied with a smile, "I have estimated that all the residential units have been sold, and I can make a profit of 10%. ā€

"If you sell all the units, how much do you think you can earn?" Li Huahu asked curiously.

"Let's make more than four million."

"How much does it cost?"

"Four million."

"The profit margin is more than 100 percent, huge profits!" Li Huahu was surprised that he knew that in the past few years, among the real estate projects invested by his eldest brother, there were very few projects with profits of more than 50 percent if they had not been sold in the form of selling off-the-plan properties.

"The piece of land used by the Toad Palace Mansion was bought early, otherwise, the profit would not be so high."

"Since the Hong Kong government issued a new building ordinance that allows buildings to be developed to heights, land prices have risen a lot." Li Yisong told the truth.

"Abba, even if there is no new building ordinance, land prices will rise, and in the last two or three years, Hong Kong housing prices have risen a lot." Li Huahu said with a smile, "The price of bread has risen sharply, and the price of flour will also rise." ā€

"That's right!" Li Yisong nodded with a smile and glanced at Li Hualong deliberately, "It's still your third brother who has the vision and seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." At the beginning, without his insistence, our family would not have put most of the money on real estate. ā€

"Abba, don't praise me, I'll be proud!" Li Hualong said with a hippie smile.

"Third brother, you are so modest, I'm a little unused to it." Li Huahu joked with a smile.

"I've always been humble." Li Hualong said seriously.

"Yes, yes, you are my role model." Li Huahu said with a smile, "Third brother, if the Toad Palace Mansion buys an off-the-plan property, then the profit margin will be higher." ā€

"That's right, but the total profit will be reduced. I now have sufficient funds in my hands, and I am more willing to use the funds to develop real estate projects that are stable and profitable. ā€

"Own funds? The Toad Palace Building project did not have a loan from the bank? ā€

"Not really. After a while, as the construction of the Intercontinental Hotel progresses, I will have to borrow money from the bank again. ā€

"I remember you saying that it's a good thing that banks are willing to lend you money." Li Huahu smiled, "I'm not wrong, right? ā€

"That's right!" Li Hualong nodded with a smile.

Li Hualong's business is getting bigger and bigger, but his parents are very anxious about Yang Meng's stomach for a long time.

That night, when Li Yisong and his wife were lying in bed and preparing to sleep, Li Song provoked a topic.

"The third child and Mengmeng have slept together for four years, right?" Li Song asked.

"Yes, I remember correctly, they went to get a marriage certificate on October 10, 1951, and then lived together."

"It's been so long, and Meng Meng hasn't been pregnant yet...... In charge, do you say that you want the third child to take a concubine? Li Song asked again.

"What are you talking about?" Li Yisong said unhappily.

"What a nonsense I am. If Mengmeng has been unable to have children, the third child is not allowed to take a concubine? ā€

"Hey!" Li Yisong sighed lightly, he hoped to hug Li Hualong's son as soon as possible, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Although the Hong Kong government has promised Chinese people to take concubines, but now, after all, the people who take concubines are a minority, and those who accept a new type of education may not be able to accept it." ā€

"Did you ask him?"

"Nope."

"You'll talk about it later."

"Their husband and wife are so affectionate, how can I speak?" Li Yisong frowned.

"You can't open your mouth, I'll talk to the third child first. If Meng Meng is ignorant and can't accept the third concubine, then let the third child take a leave of absence. ā€

"You old woman, what nonsense?!" Li Yisong glared at his wife, "It's okay to persuade the third child to take a concubine, but you can't mention a word about letting the third child take a concubine, persuade him or not, how can you do this mother-in-law." Meng Meng has lived in our house for four years, are you not satisfied with this daughter-in-law? ā€

"She is very filial to us, but she is not at home every day......"

"Mengmeng went out to make a movie, not for your precious son. The third child supports her to make a movie, what do you say? If it weren't for Mengmeng's help, the third film company wouldn't be busy with him. I know that there are many film companies in Hong Kong, but the most profitable film company is the third one, and the company can make money, and Meng Meng has made a great contribution. ā€

"The film company makes money, and Meng Meng is contributing, but the main thing is that the third child in our family has the ability. When it comes to making money, you know that making money is about to fall into the eyes of money......"

"You wife, you said it well, did it happen to me like this?" Li Yisong smiled bitterly.

"Humph!" Li Song glanced at Li Yisong, "The third child has enough money, he doesn't have to work so hard......"

"What do you know?!" Li Yisong interrupted with a displeased face, "The third child is only a few years old, if he is content with the status quo and doesn't spend time working his career, then what will he do in his spare time, he will definitely not be able to learn well." As for people, it is difficult to learn well, but it is easy to learn bad. ā€

"No matter what, I'm going to hold my grandson. The third child is so smart, and his son must be smart too. ā€

"You, four sons, when they were young, you liked the third child the most, aren't you afraid that the other three sons will say that you are biased?" Li Yisong quipped.

"Who makes the third child the most sensible and filial." Li Song smiled, "It's not wrong that I'm biased, now the third child is the most capable." ā€

"You can just talk to me about this kind of thing, but don't say it in front of your children. Our four sons are very capable, and we have these four sons in our lives, so we should be content. ā€

Li Song thought that his second son Li Huawu was now dead unknown, and a sad expression appeared on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "For so many years, we haven't gotten any news from Huahu, so don't you worry about him?" ā€

"What's the use of worrying. Don't worry too much about you. ā€

"Can I not be worried?" Li Song said unhappily, "You are a father, so you don't care about his life or death?" ā€

"What do I do? You don't understand, the mainland is very complicated now, and if we rush to find the second child, we may get him into trouble. The third child said, when the political situation in the mainland is stable, people like us are welcome to invest in construction, and we will go back to find the second child. ā€

"According to the Hua-Dang, our family is a capitalist and a target to be defeated, so how can they welcome us back to invest in construction?" Li Song's face was puzzled.

"At first, that's what you thought. But after listening to the third child's explanation, I agreed with his idea. ā€

"What did the third say?" Li Song asked curiously.

"The third said that now the capitalist camp and the socialist camp are completely opposed, and if we get too close to the CCP government and let the Hong Kong government know, it will definitely be suppressed and blocked...... In the future, there will definitely be changes, as long as we are patriotic and willing to contribute to the development of the country, we will definitely be able to return to China in the future. ā€

"I hope the second family is safe."

"Don't think about it, a sentence or two, I can't say it clearly." Li Yisong paused and solemnly reminded, "I'll tell you, you remember, it's best not to mention the matter of the second child in front of outsiders." Others take the initiative to talk to you about the second child, but you can't avoid it, so you say that the second child is missing and doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. ā€

"You told me before, I rarely see outsiders alone, and I don't talk nonsense." Li Song was silent for a moment, and then said, "We still have to talk to him about the third concubine......

"I see you're a little itchy today." Li Yisong rolled over, pressed his wife under him, and patted his wife's side buttocks with his hand.

"Ah, it's not serious." Li Song said coquettishly.

"I haven't heard your name -spring for a few days." Li Yisong smiled evilly, "Let you have a good time tonight." ā€

"Are you okay?" Li Song said with a flattering eye.

"If I don't get up tomorrow, I'm going to ...... you too"

Li Yisong was born in 1904, he is now just in his early fifties, his family has been good since he was a child, he has not suffered too much, and he usually pays great attention to physical maintenance.

After tossing for a while, Li Yisong fell for thousands of miles, and finally, he lay on his wife.

"You old thing, you don't care about people at all." Li Song gently nudged her husband.

Li Yisong turned over, turned sideways, looked at his wife with a smile, and sighed: "No, I'm really old." ā€

"Don't talk about being old, I was very comfortable with you just now." A little smile appeared on Li Song's flushed face.

Li Song is about to celebrate her fiftieth birthday, but at this time, in Li Yisong's eyes, she is still very beautiful.

Since marrying Li Song, Li Yisong has never had a relationship with other women, even if he acts on the spot.

", the charm is still there." Li Yisong said with a smile.

Li Song smiled slightly and asked, "Did you just say that you would give the third child a concubine?" ā€

"What is this, we are all old husbands and wives, I have been good to you all these years, you don't feel it?" Li Yisong pretended to be displeased.

"I'll just say it."

Li Yisong pressed his wife's chest, grabbed a few handfuls a little harder, and said with a smile: "It's not early, I'm sleeping." ā€

"Turn off the lights."

After Li Yisong turned off the light, Li Song snuggled into her husband's arms, although the two are old husbands and wives, Li Yisong still likes to sleep with his wife, and Li Song is also used to this way of sleeping.

In the next few days, Li Song had not told Li Hualong about taking a concubine, and Li Hualong had an extra woman by his side.
