On February 5, 1959, the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Li Shengrui's second birthday on the lunar calendar, Li Hualong went to work for half a day that day, and after inviting the executives of Hualong Real Estate Company to lunch at noon, he took the car home.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Huawen returned home, and Li Hualong was sitting in the living room chatting with his three wives, each holding a child in her arms.

"Big brother, come back, come and chat." Li Hualong greeted.

"In order to celebrate Sheng Rui's second birthday, I deliberately left work early." Li Huawen smiled, came to Li Hualong's side and sat down, "Third brother, today Li's Stone Company has recovered two payments, and it can take out five million for dividends, when will it be divided?" ”

"You are a major shareholder, and you decide the dividends."

"Then wait until the end of the New Year to divide it, I guess you don't lack money to spend now." Li Huawen smiled, "What are your plans at the beginning of next year?" ”

"I bought a few old buildings in Central, and I was going to tear them down and rebuild them into five-star hotels."

"I seem to have heard you say before that the completion of this hotel will definitely affect the business of Holiday Inn."

"It's a little bit of an impact, but I don't think it's going to be huge. I've already asked Ah Hu for the idea, and he doesn't object to me building a hotel in Central, hehe, you, a small shareholder, won't object, right? ”

"If you don't object, it's useless to object!" Li Huawen smiled, "How much money is expected to be invested?" ”

"It is estimated that the cost will not be less than 70 million Hong Kong dollars, and the specific situation is still uncertain, mainly depending on the design."

"You don't have a score in mind, do you?"

"I wanted to make this hotel synonymous with the best hotel in Hong Kong in one step, thinking that in 50 years, it would not be outdated, but in that case, it would be too expensive. If you don't invest at any cost, it will take a long time to pay for yourself. ”

"It's something you should think about, after all, it's a huge investment, and if it fails, it will hurt your muscles and bones. By the way, I heard you say that after the opening of the Intercontinental Hotel, the business was quite good, and I borrowed a lot of money from the bank to invest in the construction of this hotel, so I don't need you to continue to inject funds, right? ”

"No, I now have a surplus every month, and I plan to pay off the bank loan on the fifth anniversary of the hotel's opening."

"That's a good thing." Li Huawen smiled and encouraged, "Since the high-end hotel business is so good, you should be bold and build a super luxury hotel in Central." ”

"Just now you advised me to think about it, and now it's ...... Hehe, I let you say everything. Li Hualong joked with a smile, "The capacity of Hong Kong's high-end hotel market is limited, and even if it will increase in the future, it will not increase much in the short term." If I really build a super luxury hotel in Central with a lot of rooms, it will still have a big impact on the entire high-end hotel market in Hong Kong. ”

"Hehe, then I won't say more, you can decide for yourself!"

"I'll think it over before I make a decision." Li Hualong smiled and joked, "Sometimes I think about it, I have a few luxury hotels in my hand, and I hear others say that I am a hotel tycoon, so I have a lot of face!" ”

"When you say that, I want to invest in a hotel." Li Huawen said with a smile.

"I am optimistic about Hong Kong's economic prospects, and in a few years, you should be able to make money by investing in building a big hotel on your own."

"For now, I'm not very interested in running a hotel. I feel that if I can run the existing business of Jiu'an, the company will definitely continue to grow and develop, and I will become more and more rich...... Hehe, when the family is separated in the future, I will give each child hundreds of millions of assets, and I will be content. ”

"When the children grow up, hundreds of millions of assets are nothing. I think in another 20 years, the market value of Jiu'an Company will definitely exceed 10 billion! ”

"Ten billion, that's a huge number, it sounds astronomical, hehe, but I hope your prophecy will come true."

"My prophecy has not been missed."

"Do you really think you're a god?!" Li Huawen teased, sighed lightly, and sighed, "I'm quite content now, although sometimes I look at the mountain high, but I will be able to adjust my feelings." I'm a lot less aggressive than you. ”

"I'm content, too. However, I have been alive for decades, and since I have this ability and opportunity, I will work hard, and I also hope that my family and I can leave a glorious history in history. ”

"I'm sure you have what it takes." Li Huawen nodded with a smile and glanced at Li Hualong a few times, "Third child, if you were born a few years earlier and are the same age as me, you will definitely be able to become a man of the hour." ”

"Man of the Hour?" Li Hualong laughed, "Big brother, is Lao Jiang a man of the hour?" ”

"Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned!" Li Huawen glared at Li Hualong, "No matter what you think of Lao Jiang, he has already left a strong mark in history." ”

Back then, Li Huawen was also a protégé of Lao Jiang, but now, Lao Jiang fled to T Bay, while he stayed in Hong Kong to do business.

Li Hualong smiled slightly, did not answer the stubble, and lowered his head to drink tea.

Li Huawen also picked up the teacup and drank tea.

At this time, Yang Meng interjected and asked, "Big brother, what about sister-in-law, why didn't she come back with you?" ”

Li Huawen replied with a smile: "At noon, she had lunch at the Holiday Inn with a few friends. She didn't go back to work in the afternoon, and she said she would go home before 5 p.m. What about my three children? ”

"Doing homework upstairs. I was playing in the living room just now. Big brother, I really envy you, the three children are very well-behaved, and smart, and have good academic performance! Li Hualong said with a smile.

"You're smarter than me, and your kids will surely be smart when they grow up. All four of us are very smart, and we are all college students. I hope that the next generation will produce a few doctors. ”

"Dead reading is not a good thing. We can't force our own ideas on our children, there's no need to force them to become doctors. I think graduating from college, it's pretty much the same. A studious person, even if he goes into society, can live and learn until he is old. ”

Li Huawen nodded, he agreed with Li Hualong's point of view, felt that it was very reasonable, and smiled: "With you as an example, the next generation of our brothers will definitely be eager to learn." ”

"I'm not a good role model." Li Hualong sneered, "Big brother, I think you have more advantages than me." ”

"What good do I have, you don't?" Li Huawen said curiously.

"In contrast, you work harder, while I sometimes have three days of fishing and two days of drying nets."

"You're too modest. You are such a smart person, you don't need to do everything yourself, just leave things to someone who can do things. ”

After a while, Zhou Liyun came back.

Before five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Yisong, Li Huahu and Wen Cuiping all came back, and they all went home early from work to celebrate Li Shengrui's birthday.

After celebrating Li Shengrui's birthday, Li Hualong began to give himself annual leave.

After the Chinese New Year, Li Hualong spent more than a week visiting relatives and friends, and on the ninth day of the first lunar month, he went out to work, and went to work on the first day of Hualong Real Estate Company.

Chen Sisi, who just celebrated her son's first birthday, made a comeback to make a movie, she starred in "Urban Beauty" with the script provided by Li Hualong, and played the second female lead in this movie, and the female number one is played by Lin Dai, the most popular actress under Huayi Brothers Film Group.

Last year, Lin Dai made eight films for Huayi Brothers, six of which starred as the female lead, and the combined box office of these eight films exceeded HK$5 million in Hong Kong, and the overseas sales revenue of these films exceeded HK$4 million.

Since the establishment of Huayi Brothers Film Group, 1958 was the year with the largest number of films produced by the company, with a total of 22 films invested, five of which lost money, and three of the loss-making films were blockbusters with an investment of more than 800,000 Hong Kong dollars; Ten films made less than double the profits; The most profitable film is the urban comedy "Handsome Guys and Pretty Girls" starring the Asian superstars Lin Dai and Song Songhai.

The investment cost of "Handsome Guys and Pretty Girls" is less than 400,000 Hong Kong dollars, and Huayi Brothers made nearly 2 million Hong Kong dollars from this movie.
