Chapter 159: How to Be a Good Boss
Li Hualong has created Holiday Inn, InterContinental Hotel and Mandarin Oriental Hotel three high-end hotel brands, today, the Mandarin Oriental hotel brand belongs to the listed company Times Land, Holiday Inn brand belongs to the listed company Holiday Inn Hotel Company, although located in Tsim Sha Tsui Intercontinental Hotel Co., Ltd. has been listed, but the ownership of the Intercontinental Hotel brand belongs to the unlisted Intercontinental Hotels Group.
"Hong Kong is not big, small is not small, I am optimistic about the development potential of Hong Kong's economy, the number of high-end hotels in Hong Kong in the future will definitely be a lot, more brands, more conducive to my investment in hotels in Hong Kong, I also plan to invest in hotels overseas in the future." Li Hualong explained with a smile, "The relationship between InterContinental Hotels Group and the now listed InterContinental Hotels Company is too complicated, and most people don't know what is going on inside. I intend that after the new hotel in Admiralty is opened, InterContinental Hotels will come forward to buy the hotel, and then the listed company will be renamed InterContinental Hotels Group, and I will directly own the shares of this listed company, rather than indirectly through Guò Company. ”
"How to acquire and issue new shares?" Li Huawen asked.
"So to speak." Li Hualong nodded and said, "It's a merger." ”
"The new hotel in Admiralty is not small, will the market value be more than InterContinental, or less?" Li Huawen asked again.
"If the area is about the same, you have to consider the business situation after the opening of the new hotel."
"So, after the merger of the two hotels, you will have a large stake in the new company."
"It's okay to be bigger." Li Hualong smiled, paused, and continued, "It is possible that in the future, I am also ready to let InterContinental Hotels Group acquire Holiday Inn, big brother, don't object." ”
"I wouldn't object, I would also like to be a shareholder of IHG." Li Huawen said with a smile.
At this time. The maid came and said that dinner was ready.
"It's dinner, I'm a little hungry." Li Hualong smiled and walked into the bathroom to wash his hands.
At dinner, Li Huawen said: "Aaron, I read in the newspaper that in the past half month, the stock trading of the Stock Exchange has been quite active, and in just half a month, the stock prices of many companies have risen by more than 20%...... By the end of this year, how many points do you think the Hang Seng Index will reach? ”
"Why do you ask this?" Li Hualong asked rhetorically. "You're not going to buy stocks, are you?"
Li Huawen said: "What spare money do I have to buy stocks, although the stocks I bought last year have risen a lot, but I have not cashed out, I still owe a lot of money to the bank, the money earned by the construction company, and the rental income of various properties, I have all used it to repay the loan." ”
Li Hualong said: "Isn't a mixed commercial and residential project that we have jointly invested in Tsim Sha Tsui about to be completed, judging from the current property market. This project can bring us nearly 20 million profits, you can get 10 million, plus the principal, can relieve your financial pressure. ”
Li Huawen smiled: "I don't have any financial pressure. If I am short of money, the stock will be used as collateral, and the bank will definitely be willing to lend to me. ”
Li Hualong ate a few bites of food and asked, "That's right." Big brother, you have been a shareholder of Bank Asia for a few months, how are you getting along with other shareholders? ”
"It's good to get along." Li Huawen said. "Since joining the bank, the bank's depositor balance has increased a lot...... How has Hang Seng Bank fared in recent months? ”
"The amount of deposits has also increased, the number of non-performing loans has also decreased, and some customers who had previously deferred repayment have benefited from the recovery of the economy and the property market, and have been able to repay."
"Compared to Hang Seng Bank, BEA's non-performing loan ratio is a little higher." Li Huawen sighed lightly, "I, the chairman of the Bank of East Asia, should do more practical things, and the loan review will be stricter in the future......
"You brothers don't talk a word." Li Yisong interrupted in a deep voice, "I'll talk about it after eating." ”
"Oh!" Li Huawen responded with a smile and buried himself in dinner.
More than a week later, on November 25, Li Hualong married Liu Minchen as a concubine, although their legal relationship has undergone heavy changes, their lives have not changed much, Liu Minchen has lived in Li Hualong's house for more than two months, and she is used to living here.
In December, Hong Kong set off a boom in investment stocks, a large number of Hong Kong Chinese became shareholders, and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange invested funds in the stock market.
This year, the pound has depreciated a lot, and the Hong Kong dollar, which is pegged to the pound, has also depreciated, and the inflation rate in Hong Kong has exceeded the bank deposit rate, which has depreciated the assets of citizens who keep their money in banks, and more and more citizens have seen the benefits of investing in stocks, not only anti-inflation, but also good stocks, and can also obtain huge profits.
On December 27, 1968, the Hang Seng Index hit a record high of 169.05 points.
Before you know it, 1968 has come to an end and 1969 is ushering in.
On the last night of 1968, Li Hualong was busy with work in the study for nearly two hours, and at about nine o'clock in the evening, he came to Yang Meng's bedroom.
After Li Hualong went to bed, Yang Meng snuggled up to Li Hualong's side with some emotion, and asked with a smile: "Ah Long, did you miss me?" ”
Yang Meng knew that in the past two nights, Li Hualong had spent the night with Chen Sisi and Liu Minchen respectively, and they were both pregnant, Yang Meng thought that Li Hualong had abstinence for two days, and this was also the case.
Li Hualong smiled, without speaking, he picked up Yang Meng's nightdress, held a plump, kneaded and twisted it, the bei * bud quickly swollen and cocked, I wanted to have a good chat with my wife, but seeing his wife's flushed face and beautiful eyes full of emotion, Li Hualong could only work hard first.
took off the nightdress for his wife, and after some foreplay, Yang Meng had already taken the initiative to coil her legs around her husband's waist, with spring peaches on her face, and moaned tactfully in response to her husband's collision.
Looking at his wife who was panting under him, Li Hualong felt a little guilty, Yang Meng only had one man in his heart, and he divided his heart among four women.
"Ah, that's wonderful!" Yang Meng made a voice full of temptation from the depths of his soul.
Li Hualong and Yang Meng arrived at the other side of the peak of happiness together, watched Yang Meng skillfully take out a tissue from the bedside table to cover his lower body and go to the bathroom, and only returned to the bed after a while, snuggling up to his chest.
"Mengmeng, I love you!" Li Hualong said sincerely, stroking his wife's jet-black hair, and gently sniffing the breath on the tips of his hair.
"Aaron. I love you too! Yang Meng smiled sweetly, pulled her husband's hand over and put it on her full and straight breasts = room, she liked her husband like this, so that she felt his attachment to her.
"It feels so good!" Li Hualong couldn't help but knead it a few times, with a wicked smile on his face.
"You're necrotic!" Yang Meng said angrily, when she saw her husband smiling evilly, instead of being disgusted, she was very happy, and she was even more down-to-earth, she liked her husband's infatuation with her body.
Li Hualong smiled. Exclaimed: "In a few hours, it will be a new year." ”
"yes, time flies. I've known each other for 19 years. ”
"Nineteen years and six days, we met on Christmas Day 1949."
"Aaron, do you remember when we met?!" Yang Meng looked at Li Hualong emotionally.
"I'll never forget jì in my life, I remember very well, you were beautiful at that time. Hehe, it's still beautiful. Li Hualong kissed Yang Meng's lips, "I saw you for the first time." I'm going to like you. ”
"You're the face of the heart of the flower." Yang Meng quipped, "Remember the song you sang for me the first time?" ”
"Remember, "The Moon Represents My Heart."
"I want to hear you sing this song." Yang Meng said angrily.
"Okay." Li Hualong cleared his throat and sang emotionally. "You ask me how much I love you, how much I love you, my love is true, my love is true. The moon represents my heart......"
As soon as Li Hualong finished singing a song, Yang Meng kissed him on the lips and kissed him passionately.
Kiss it. Li Hualong was afraid of his wife's naked * buttocks, and asked with a smile, "Do you still want it?" ”
"No, you still have to attend the dinner party tomorrow, you must be in good spirits!" Yang Meng smiled, "Turn off the lights and go to sleep." ”。
On New Year's Day the next day, Li Hualong woke up relatively early, and after waking up, he didn't get up, nor did he wake up Yang Meng, lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling and thinking about things.
After Yang Meng woke up, he saw Li Hualong with a thoughtful expression, and smiled: "Wake up, what do you think?" ”
Li Hualong came back to his senses, glanced at Yang Meng, hugged her delicate body, smiled and kissed her on the cheek, and said, "I was praying just now, thank God for letting me marry such a smart, virtuous and beautiful wife as you." ”
Yang Meng chuckled, shook his head and said, "I don't believe it." ”
Li Hualong asked with a smile; "And what do you think I'm doing?"
Yang Meng smiled and said, "Daze...... Or rather, think about life. ”
Li Hualong said happily: "Listen to what you mean, being in a daze and thinking about life can be equated?" ”
Yang Meng smiled noncommittally and said, "To be honest, what did you think just now?" ”
"You're right, I was thinking about life just now." Li Hualong smiled slightly, paused, and continued, "I estimated my assets, the number is a little too large, and I feel like a world away. ”
"The wealth you have is not obtained in one step, but it is all earned by your own efforts, there is no need to be weak-hearted."
"Weak heart...... Hehe, it's a little bit. Li Hualong smiled, "This year's Chinese New Year, I want to send a big red envelope to my employees." ”
"I think it's better for you to give red envelopes to employees who don't have a house to buy a house, and to help employees with poor living conditions change accommodation."
Li Hualong was slightly stunned, he felt that Yang Meng's idea was good, and asked, "What should I do?" ”
"Last year, you bought a lot of old buildings, not to provide guaranteed loans for those who sold the houses, but also to guarantee the price of the houses to buy back. Now, you are still bullish on the property market, and you can provide loan guarantees for your employees. Yang Meng smiled, "The employees of your company only need to pay a small amount of money to take out a loan to buy a house, provided that their monthly income pays the loan, and they can still leave enough living expenses, and their lives will not be too stressful." ”
Li Hualong looked at Yang Meng with a surprised face, was stunned for a moment, smiled and kissed Yang Meng on the cheek a few times, and said happily: "Mengmeng, your idea is too wonderful." Hehe, such a good way, why didn't I think of it? No, it doesn't seem like I'm good enough for my employees to think about them. Guaranteeing loans for employees should be done often in the future......"
"Don't do it too often." Yang Meng interrupted, "The property market goes up and down, and if you make a mistake, you'll be in trouble." ”
Yang Meng is not a good person, and he will not put himself and his family in trouble in order to do good deeds.
"That's right, you're too smart!" Li Hualong said with a smile, and muttered in his heart, "As long as the historical trajectory does not change too much, I can take advantage of the general trend of the ups and downs of the Hong Kong property market in the next 40 years to help the employees of my company buy real estate, and I don't have to take any risks." ”
"Don't be in a hurry to praise me, there are still many details that you need to think about yourself."
"One person counts short, two counts long. You help me think about it. ”
"Do you really want to hear from me?" Yang Meng asked with a smile.
"It's an idea you came up with, and you can't pick on it."
"Then I'll help you think about it." Yang Meng smiled, "I think the high-income employees of your company don't need you to provide a guarantee for them, they all have the ability to buy a house to live in, it may be a little difficult to buy a villa, but they are certainly not poor." The vast majority of employees do not earn very much, and if housing prices rise sharply, even if you give them a raise, it will be more difficult for them to buy a home...... In a word, it is to use limited resources to help more employees buy homes. ”
"Hmm!" Li Hualong nodded, he felt that what Yang Meng said was very reasonable, "The matter of helping employees to buy homes cannot be delayed, tomorrow, no, wait a while, I will call the person in charge of each of my companies, and strive to let a group of employees live in a new house before the New Year." ”
"Isn't this too rushed?" Yang Meng asked worriedly.
"There's no hurry. My company is not a grass platform, and besides, this thing is not difficult to operate. ”
Yang Meng thought for a moment and said: "You don't necessarily have to buy a new house, some second-hand houses are also very good, the transportation is convenient, and the price is also right." ”
Li Hualong smiled and nodded: "Then let's say that if you live in a new home, even if it is a second-hand house, you will change your residence and live in your own house, which is your new home!" ”
"Wake up." Yang Meng lifted the quilt and said while dressing, "Before you call, think about which employees you can help." ”
"Oh!" Li Hualong responded, and also got up and dressed, "We must formulate a standard, but the conditions cannot be limited, and if there are special circumstances, special care must also be taken." ”
"I think the employees who have your help and move into their new homes before the New Year will definitely be happy and grateful to you."
"I don't ask for their gratitude, I just hope that they can do their job well."
Li Hualong got dressed, hugged Yang Meng in his arms, and said with a smile: "The Shangri-La Hotel opens tonight, and after attending the banquet, we will stay in the hotel for one night." ”
"Listen to you." Yang Meng smiled. (To be continued......)
