At the beginning of March, on the day of the Lantern Festival, Li Hualong got good news from the United States, and Apple Computer developed Appleii.

On March 26, Li Hualong signed an agreement with the MTR company to win the development rights of the properties built on the Central and Admiralty subway stations from the MTR company at a high price.

Half a month later, InterContinental Hotels Group announced that it had reached an agreement with the Hong Kong government to make up the land premium and rebuild the Holiday Inn Central.

The Holiday Inn in Central opened on October 10, 1953, the building was 12 floors, it was considered a high-rise building in Central at that time, more than 20 years have passed, the Holiday Inn has become a "dwarf in the huge crowd", in order to maximize the benefits, Li Hualong decided to rebuild the Holiday Inn.

In fact, as early as two years ago, during the downturn of the Hong Kong property market, InterContinental Hotels Group applied to the Hong Kong government to rebuild the Holiday Inn, but the Hong Kong government did not agree.

Li Hualong plans to demolish the Holiday Inn and rebuild it into a building with 3 floors underground and 39 floors above ground, with three basement floors as parking lots, one to five floors above ground as shopping malls, and six and more floors as hotels, with a total of more than 1,000 rooms in the new hotel.

Before the Hong Kong government approved the redevelopment, Mr. Lee's Greenland Construction & Design Company began designing the new hotel, designed to the standard of a luxury five-star hotel.

The name of the new hotel, Li Hualong thought about it for a while, he thought about keeping the name of Holiday Inn, and also thought about changing the name to Mandarin Holiday Hotel, thinking about it, he finally decided to change the name to Crowne Plaza Hotel, English name

In early April, Li Hualong, accompanied by several bodyguards, boarded a flight to San Francisco.

Apple Computer has started mass-producing appleii, but it hasn't sold it right away. In preparation for the launch of AppLeii at the inaugural Computex West Bank, Apple Computer prepared 260 AppLeii for $1,295 each

For the first time, the Appleii also has an architecture that outputs mono sound, making the PC no longer dumb.

Later generations called Appleii the first personal computer in human history.

Appleii's proper publicity at the inaugural Computex West Bund caused a large number of customers to queue up for a treat.

"Jobs, Watts, congratulations, you've made it!"

"Thank you!" Gang Master Qiao said, "Mr. Li." You are also a shareholder of Apple Computer, and we congratulate you! ”

"Yes, we should all be happy, and tonight, I invite you all to a big meal!"

Li Hualong suddenly saw a young man who looked very similar to him in the crowd in the queue, he was stunned, at this time, the man also noticed Li Hualong, and there were some curious expressions on his face.

Li Hualong thought of Cheng Yueru, who moved to the United States many years ago. secretly said in his heart: "It won't be such a coincidence, I won the bid at one time." ”

Li Hualong thought about it and decided to step forward to question what was going on and walk in front of this man. Ask directly in Cantonese, "Are you Chinese?" ”

"Yes!" The young man nodded.

"What's your name?"

"My Chinese name is Cheng Zhenglong."

"Cheng Zhenglong?" Li Hualong silently recited it in his heart, looked at the other party a few times, and asked, "Is your mother Cheng Yueru, a movie star?" Stage name is Lin Dai? ”

"Yes." Cheng Zhenglong nodded and asked curiously, "Who are you?" ”

"You don't know who I am?"

"I don't know." Cheng Zhenglong shook his head and said.

"You...... Who is your father? ”

"My mom didn't tell me who he was. I know. Cheng Zhenglong looked at Li Hualong with a curious expression, he felt that he looked very similar to the middle-aged man in front of him, and at this time, he had already guessed that the other party was his biological father.

"Can you tell me your birthday?" Li Hualong asked.

Cheng Zhenglong hesitated for a moment and replied: "March 15, 1960." ”

"That's right, the first Hong Kong Golden Horse Awards was held in May 1959, and after that, I had a relationship with Lin Dai." Li Hualong said secretly in his heart, staring at the young man in front of him for a while, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he was his son, and he suddenly felt that he owed Lin Dai and this child a lot, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"You're my father?" Cheng Zhenglong asked in a low voice.

"Yes." Li Hualong apologized, "Child, I'm sorry, I didn't know that your mother was pregnant with you...... Is your mother okay now? ”

"She's, she's good, she now lives in the Parna Valley, runs a winery and a vineyard, and sometimes, she's in movies."

She ...... Is she married? ”

"Nope!" Cheng Zhenglong squeezed out some smiles on his face, "Maybe she hasn't let go of you yet, there have been many excellent men who have pursued her over the years, but she hasn't accepted it." ”

"I'm sorry!" Li Hualong opened his arms and hugged Cheng Zhenglong in his arms.

Cheng Zhenglong didn't know who his father was since he was a child, he was eager to have his own father like other children, he was full of curiosity about Li Hualong, closed his eyes, and enjoyed his father's hug for a while.

Two or three minutes later, Li Hualong let go of his hug, looked at Cheng Zhenglong with tears in his eyes and a smile, and asked, "You have turned seventeen years old and are you still in middle school?" ”

"I got into Stanford last year."

"Stanford University is a prestigious school, and it's good." Li Hualong said happily, "Your school is not in class now? ”

"Today's holiday, I came to take a look." Cheng Zhenglong pointed to Appleii not far away and asked, "This is your company's product?" ”

"Sort of, I own a stake in Apple Computer." Li Hualong smiled and said, "You don't have to queue up, I'll send you an appleii." ”

"That's great, thank you!" Cheng Zhenglong said happily.

"You...... Can you take me to meet your mother? ”

Cheng Zhenglong was slightly stunned and asked rhetorically, "Are you married?" ”

"Married." Li Hualong apologized, "When your mother was pregnant with you, I didn't know at all, I'm sorry." ”

"It doesn't matter, many of my classmates are from single families like me." Cheng Zhenglong smiled lightly, "If you want to see my mother, I can take you there." Do you live in Hong Kong? ”

"Yes, but I have a business in Mi Country."

"How many of the people standing next to you are your bodyguards?" Cheng Zhenglong asked again.

"Hmm!" Li Hualong nodded slightly.

"Looks like you're rich." Cheng Zhenglong said lightly.

Li Hualong really didn't want to discuss with Cheng Zhenglong how much money his father had, he wanted to see Cheng Yueru now, and asked, "I want to see your mother now, can you take me there?" ”

Cheng Zhenglong nodded and said, "Yes." (To be continued......) i1292
