Founded in 1867, the Kadoorie family has been in control of Hong Kong's famous hotel group since 1906.

For a long time, the Jewish Kadoorie family was the largest shareholder of Magic Grand Hotel Hong Kong, but today, the Kadoorie family is no longer the absolute controlling shareholder of the company.

In 1880, during the reign of Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty, a ragged Jew, holding his two sons, with a pitiful entanglement and a dream of making a fortune higher than the sky, arrived in the dust and dust to the magic capital, which was not prosperous at that time. The father and son, the elder Kadoorie, and his son Ellie? Kadoorie and Irie? Kadoorie. They had come to seek refuge with their distant cousin, Sassoon, who had become the richest Jew in the city. In Sassoon's lavish mansion, the Kadoorie brothers feel like they are in the royal palace.

Old Kadoorie whispered: When I was young, Sassoon's family was as poor as ours, child, work hard in the future*.

In addition to the shock, the Kadoorie father and son also deeply realized that wealth is not born, but is created by the mind and hands. The father and son worked under Sassoon Gate, the elder Kadoorie worked as a storekeeper, Ellie accompanied the ship to escort the goods, and Irie worked as an errand boy.

In the first few years, Avery traveled all over the Magic City, Tianjin, Wuhu, Ningbo and other treaty port cities. Later, Avery left Sassoon and came to Hong Kong on his own.

In Hong Kong, Avery ? Kadoorie's first pot of gold came from stockbrokers. With a loan of HK$500 from a Jewish friend, Elie opened Hong Kong's first stockbroking firm. In addition to the business of buying and selling stocks, Eli also works as an investment advisor to clients. With the unique business talent of the Jews, business gradually flourished.

In 1889, Hong Kong's first electric power company, the Hong Kong Electric Company, was incorporated, and twelve years later, in 1901, the Chung Hwa Power Company was established.

In 1908, the shareholders of CLP Power decided to transfer a portion of their shares. Thanks to the founder of CLP, Robert? Siwin was a good friend of Avery and was able to get the shares at a very good price.

CLP was established 12 years later than HK Electric, and since its birth, it has been separated from HK Electric*.

Although the power of generators was small and only a few foreigners in Hong Kong had access to electric lights, the clever Avery foresaw that the power industry was a promising industry and focused his efforts on CLP Power. In the years that followed, Avery increased his investment in CLP and eventually acquired a controlling stake in the company in 1918.

Except for CLP. The Magic City Hotel Hong Kong is another pillar of the Kadoorie family's property. In 1921, Avery bought a plot of land in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, and decided to build one of the best hotels in the Far East.

In 1928, when the Peninsula Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, with a total construction cost of US$400,000, was completed, it was a time of unprecedented grandeur.

Avery? Kadoorie never married, and when he died of a heart attack in 1922, he left the family property to his younger brother Erie and Erie's two sons, Roland. Kadoorie and Holehose? Kadoorie.

The Kadoorie family is not prosperous, and Ailie has no queen. Erie had only two sons, and Lorence had only one daughter and one son, and Lorant's son Michael was born in 1941.

Hong Kong media has never had a Holerich? Kadoorie's marital status was reported, and it was generally believed that he was an old diamond king. Horics is already in his seventies, and if he marries a young wife with a childlike heart, it is unlikely that the incense will be extended to future generations.

When Lee Hua Long quasi-bèi acquired the Grand Hotel, Michael? Kadoorie is thirty-three years old. Still a diamond king * five.

In the late 60s, a Hong Kong media compared the Kadoorie family with the Li Yat-song family, the newly richest family, and said that the Kadoorie family was not wealthy. And Li Yisong's family is rich and rich.

Many Hong Kong people know that Li Yisong has four sons, but they don't know the situation of his second son, Li Huawen and Li Huahu both have two sons, and Li Hualong married four wives and concubines, three of whom are still big stars.

Yang Meng, Xi Chongyi and Chen Sisi did not stop after marrying Li Hualong, and they often attended some public occasions, which made many Hong Kong media keen to report the news about Li Hualong's family.

By the time of the outbreak of the Second World War, CLP had become one of the few major enterprises in Hong Kong, monopolizing the supply of electricity to the Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories.

Erie? In 1926, Kadoorie established Sir Kadoorie & Sons as the family's holding company.

By the time of the Second World War, the Kadoorie family's business had developed rapidly, involving electricity, real estate, trade, finance, hotels, cable cars and other industries, and even expanded to major cities in the mainland, such as Yangcheng and Modu.

In the late twenties, the Kadoorie family invested US$400,000 to build the Peninsula Hong Kong, one of the most luxurious hotels in Asia at the time.

When The Peninsula was inaugurated, it was crowned with unprecedented pomp. The Kadoorie family became famous for the hotel and became a well-known family in Hong Kong.

After the outbreak of the Second World War, the Kadoorie family's business suffered heavy losses.

In 1941, on the eve of the fall of Hong Kong, Erie? Kadoorie was ordered by the Hong Kong government to blow up the power plant of the CLP Power Company on the Kowloon Peninsula.

The Kadoorie family's business in mainland China also fell into the hands of the Japanese army and was confiscated by the Japanese themselves. In Hong Kong, the Kadoorie family's hotels and other businesses were requisitioned by the Japanese army. The Kadoorie family was even detained in the camp.

In 1944, Erie? Kadoorie died of illness in a Japanese* concentration camp and was unable to see the dawn of victory in the anti-fascist war.

After the war, Lorantz? Kadoorie was determined to carry on his father's legacy and restore the family business. Under his auspices, the CLP power plant was quickly rebuilt. The Peninsula Hotel and other hotels have also been renovated and their business has been expanded.

In 1964, Lorantz? Kadoorie reached an agreement with Oriental Energy Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Standard Oil Company, a well-known oil company in the United States, to jointly invest in the establishment of "Peninsula Power Co., Ltd.", in which CLP Power Co., Ltd. held 40% of the shares and was responsible for sales.

In this way, since the mid-60s, the Peninsula Power Company has invested billions of Hong Kong dollars in the construction of power plants such as Tsing Yi Island and Xinheyuan.

Today, CLP Power Hong Kong sells 65 per cent of Hong Kong's electricity consumption, surpassing the Hongkong Electric Company in terms of sales.

The Kadoorie family is a British Jew, ranking among the top three British super-rich in Hong Kong, behind the Keswick and Schwyawah families.

Although the Schwyawer family merged Swire Dockyard into United Land. However, the Swire Dockyard had not yet been closed at this time, because the area of the Swire Dock plot was too large to complete the development of the entire Taikoo Shing project in a short period of time, and the Swire Dockyard had other properties besides the Swire Dockyard.

In Li Hualong's memory, the Kadoorie family is not only a big chacoon in Hong Kong now, but even if it is the time and space in which Li Hualong lives in later generations, the top six families in Hong Kong in terms of assets are the Kadoorie family.

As the Kadoorie family invested in electricity and property, they gradually reduced their stake in the hotel, which gave Li Hualong the opportunity to acquire the hotel.

……

One evening in late February. Li Hualong returned home from work and saw Yang Meng, who had just gotten off work, in the yard.

"Honey, it's time to get off work!" Li Hualong greeted with a smile, "Did you miss me?" ”

"I don't want to." Yang Meng smiled, took out a document from his handbag and handed it to Li Hualong, "Take a look?" ”

Li Hualong took the document and asked, "What?" ”

"Script. Do you have an impression of Xu Guanwen? ”

"Yes, at the beginning of this year, he starred in "Dogs and Horses" at the box office was not bad, quite talented. He wrote this script? ”

Li Hualong looked down at the title page of the Chinese document in his hand. When he saw the name of the novel - "Ghost Horse Double Star", and the name of the editor - Xu Guanjie, he suddenly thought that many movies written, directed and acted by this person won the annual box office champion in Hong Kong.

"Hmm!" Yang Meng nodded with a smile, "I've read the script." I think he writes well. Xu Guanwen, who has developed in acting, intends to develop in the direction of a creative filmmaker who writes, directs and acts, and when he handed over the script he wrote to me, he said that he hoped to share the profits with the company in the joint venture. ”

"If you think it's good, then let's shoot it with him. We should support the development of talented filmmakers. ”

"Let's talk about it after watching it, I think the movie "Ghost Horse Double Star" will definitely be able to get a high box office in Hong Kong, and it is difficult to say about the box office in other cities. But if you invest in making this movie, the profit will definitely not be bad! ”

"Let's go inside, I'll talk about it after I've read the script."

walked into the living room and said hello to his family, Li Hualong sat on the sofa and looked down at "Ghost Horse Double Star" carefully.

After reading the script, Li Hualong smiled, looked at Yang Meng and said: "Mengmeng, this Xu Guanjie is very talented in comedy, if this movie is filmed smoothly, before the release, I will sign a long-term contract with him, and Huayi Brothers will make a few more movies with him." ”

"You're so optimistic about him?" Yang Meng said with a slight surprise.

"Although he can't become an international superstar like Bruce Lee, as long as he can write a script at the same level as "Ghost Horse and Double Stars" every year in the next few years, then Huayi Brothers will be able to win the Hong Kong box office championship every year."

"If Xu Guanjie heard you praise him like this, he would definitely be very happy."

"What I said, you don't need to sue him, I'm afraid he will be proud!" Li Hualong smiled and sighed, "It's really a talent from the Jiang Shang generation!" ”

"Looks like you're really good with him." Yang Meng smiled, "Tomorrow...... No, I'll call my secretary later, and ask her to help me make an appointment with Xu Guanjie tomorrow and sign the contract as soon as possible. Strive for this movie to be released in time for this summer! ”

"Aaron, show me the script." Chen Sisi said curiously.

"Give!" Li Hualong handed the script to Chen Sisi and joked, "There is no role you play here, you can't be addicted to acting." ”

"I haven't filmed for several years, and I won't film anymore." Chen Sisi smiled and said that she has her own business and thinks that managing Jeanswest is more interesting than making movies.

"Mengmeng, you haven't filmed for a long time." Li Hualong said.

"I haven't met a character that makes me excited, although I'm not busy with work, I don't have the heart to take on a movie." Yang Meng smiled and kissed his son Li Shengqing, who was sitting on his lap, "Shengqing, what did you learn in kindergarten today?" ”

"Didn't learn anything." Li Shengqing shook his head and said.

"Are you not serious in class?" Li Hualong joked with a smile.

"No, I listened carefully during class." Li Shengqing said seriously.

"Aaron, don't talk about children like that, such a young child, even if he goes to school, the school won't teach anything." Li Song smiled, clapped his hands, and said to Li Shengqing, "Shengqing, come, grandma hug you." ”

"Grandma, I'm heavy." Li Shengqing grinned.

"Don't be afraid, grandma is powerful." Li Song smiled happily.

"Go ahead." Yang Meng let go of the hug and let Li Shengqing leave.

Li Shengqing did not sit on his grandmother's lap, but sat on the sofa with his back to his grandmother and asked his grandmother to hold him from behind.

"Sheng Qing, are you a good boy?" Li Song asked with a smile.

"yes, I'm very good......"

Listening to the small talk of his family, Li Hualong felt very interesting, with a smile on his face all the time, and thought to himself: "Teasing Sun, this is the life that my parents are looking forward to the most, I hope that in the near future, I can find the second brother's family and help them live a good life" (to be continued............
