Chapter 315: Bargaining for advice
After the car drove into the parking lot of Xinhualong Building, Li Hualong asked: "Sheng Rui, in 20 days, I will go to the capital for a few days, do you want to go together?" ”
Li Shengrui smiled and said: "Dad, I am your employee, if I want to go or not, you can arrange it." ”
Li Hualong pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "This time, I won't take you with me." There will be a chance in the future, so there is no hurry. ”
Li Shengrui asked curiously: "Dad, when you go to the capital this time, can you meet the Communist Party of China = Lord = Xi?" ”
"You're asking a question." Li Hualong smiled and shook his head, "Now, the Communist Party of China does not have a country/president. ”
"That's right." Li Shengrui smiled, "What is the name of the head of the government?" ”
"Head of Government ......" Li Hualong pondered for a moment, "Hua-Communist Party-Central Committee-Committee-Committee-Member-Meeting-General = Secretary-Record." ”
"This is the head of the Communist Party of China = political party, right?!" Li Shengrui suddenly realized, "The Communist Party of China is the ruling party = political party, and the party = leader is the country = the head." ”
Twenty days later, Li Hualong diverted from Macao to the mainland, and although he knew that he could not hide from the Hong Kong government about his participation in the celebration of the 30 th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he did not intend to let the people of Hong Kong know about it.
When Li Hualong came to the capital, he was courteously treated by the top level of the Communist Party of China, and his old friend Ye Shuai personally went to the airport to pick up the plane and stayed at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.
On the third day of his arrival in the capital, Li Hualong met with Deng Gong and used the word "reception" in the official documents of the Chinese Communist Party.
Li Hualong has some mischief for the word "reception" in his heart, he respects Deng Gong very much, but he will not worship the other party as a god, he does not think that Deng Gong is superior to him, he thinks that the status of himself and Deng Gong is equal, and he thinks that it is better to replace "meeting" with "meeting".
Of course, Li Hualong just thought about it in his heart, he would not show a displeased expression, let alone say it.
Li Hualong had a very pleasant conversation with Deng Gong, and Deng Gong highly praised Li Hualong's achievements in business. At the same time, I hope that Li Hualong will show more concern for the development of the motherland.
Li Hualong immediately said that he was willing to donate 200 million Hong Kong dollars to the motherland's education, and Deng Gong was very happy after hearing this.
Li Hualong donated money to the education of the motherland. He didn't know if the donations would be earmarked, he felt that it was unlikely, and even if all the donations were not used for education, he wouldn't mind too much. He knew that after the motherland had just embarked on reform and opening up, there were still many places to spend money.
In addition to donating money to the motherland's education, Li Hualong also put forward some ideas to help the motherland's economic development, such as donating to build high-end hotels in several major cities in China.
Li Hualong's donation to build hotels in the mainland is not only for good deeds, but also for the collective interests of his InterContinental hotels, as well as his own long-term interests.
Li Hualong hopes that the mainland government will provide the land, and he will personally provide the funds to build the hotel, after the hotel is completed. It is managed by the Intercontinental Hotels Group, which collects a certain percentage of the management fee, and all the net income after paying taxes is donated to the domestic education cause, but he asked that in 1998, these hotels should be auctioned, and he personally accounted for 70 percent of the auction proceeds, without paying taxes, and the government accounted for 30 percent, and the right to use the land after the hotel auction was in accordance with the maximum time limit for the state to transfer land in the future.
After listening to Li Hualong's thoughts, Deng Gong. After pondering for a while, he didn't agree immediately, but said, "Mr. Li, I personally think your idea is good. However, in the future auction of the hotel, you personally account for 70 percent, and you do not pay taxes, which is a little too high, you see fifty-fifty percent. How is it? ”
Li Hualong was silent for a moment and said, "Fifty-fifty is fine." However, I asked that after the hotel is auctioned in the future, the buyer can tear down the hotel and rebuild it, and the government cannot collect taxes if the floor area of the rebuilt hotel does not increase. ”
"Mr. Li, listen to what you mean, these hotels will be demolished and rebuilt after they have been built and used for more than ten or twenty years?"
"I believe that in the next 20 years, the land of the motherland will undergo earth-shaking changes." Li Hualong smiled, "In the future, the population of the city will be very large, and maybe the current suburbs of the capital will become a prosperous urban area in 20 years." In the future, the price of land in the urban area of Beijing will be very expensive, and it will be very cost-effective to demolish the three-star and four-star hotels and rebuild them into more luxurious hotels. Deng Gong, I donated to the mainland to build a hotel, and I have a little ninety-nine in my heart, you won't be angry, right? ”
"Won't be angry." Deng Gong said with a hearty smile, "If overseas Chinese are like Mr. Li and believe that after the motherland's reform and opening up, it will move towards the road of rejuvenation, and the motherland's economic development will definitely be much faster in the future." Mr. Li, the matter of your donation to build a hotel needs to be discussed by the Communist Party of China = Central Committee = side, and as for your request, it must be written in writing, and I will try to reply to you as soon as possible. ”
"I'm going to put my request in writing as soon as possible."
Li Hualong thought that he had donated a hotel to the mainland, the purpose was not simple, this matter may not be answered for a long time, did not come to fruition, he stayed in the capital for half a month, before leaving the capital, he and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, after bargaining, got an accurate answer from the other party, allowing him to donate two hotels in each of the six cities of Beijing, Jinling, Modu, Hangzhou, Ningbo and Yangcheng, a total of 12 hotels. Estimated to cost HK$360 million, the hotels will cover an area of around 150,000 square meters and have a total floor area of more than 300,000 square meters.
When he left the capital, Li Hualong was in a good mood, he felt that he had established a good relationship with the CCP = high-level leaders, and he believed that in the future, with the increase in his donations to the mainland and the increase in the funds invested in industry, his relationship with the high-level of the CPG would become even closer.
……
In mid-October, Song Yuanyuan came to Hong Kong at the invitation of Li Hualong.
When Song Yuanyuan came to Hong Kong, Li Hualong was participating in the board meeting of the company in conjunction with Hongkong Land, and he did not go to pick up the plane in person, but took the bodyguard to the airport, and after receiving Song Yuanyuan, he would take her directly to the presidential suite of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
After the end of the board of directors of United Land, Li Hualong was about to leave immediately, but the company's CEO, Zhao Litong, stopped him from going.
"Chairman, are you in a hurry to leave?" Zhao Litong asked with a smile.
"That's right." Li Hualong smiled.
"Have a date?" Zhao Litong quipped.
"Litong, you are too lenient, be careful that I resign you as CEO." Li Hualong joked.
"I wanted to invite you to dinner, but since you have something to do, I won't bother you." Zhao Litong said with a smile.
"In a few days, find time, I'll invite you to dinner." Li Hualong smiled and patted Zhao Litong's shoulder, "Let's go." ”
Leaving the headquarters of United Land, Li Hualong went straight to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
Although there is no shortage of women around Li Hualong, he has not seen Song Yuanyuan for many days, and he misses it tightly. (To be continued.) )
