The process of merging the company into the Carrefour group is very smooth, the two companies have the same boss, whether it is the senior management of the two companies, or ordinary employees, they have no right to object, as for the outside voice.

In less than half a month, two Dalilian supermarkets were renamed Carrefour supermarkets, and another Dalilian supermarket in Central also closed.

Before the supermarket was renamed Carrefour, Li Hualong completed the acquisition of Gammon Construction Company and delisted the company.

Li Huawen has long known Li Hualong's idea of acquiring Kinmen Construction, and he has no problem with this, but is quite supportive, and he is not worried that after losing Li Hualong, a big customer, the income of his Jiuan Construction Company will be greatly reduced.

Today, Li Huawen is the second richest person in Hong Kong after Li Hualong, and even if his Jiuan Construction Company goes bankrupt, it will not have much impact on his personal assets.

One morning in early May, Li Huawen's family came to Li Hualong's house as guests, and on this day, Li Hualong did not go out to work and stayed at home.

After chatting a few words, Li Shenghua turned the topic to business and asked: "Third uncle, I suggested to my father that the old buildings in Lan Kwai Fong and a few small streets nearby be acquired and demolished and rebuilt. ”

"The positioning of the reconstruction project is very important, and it is very interesting to get it right." Li Hualong smiled.

Li Hualong knew that the area around Lan Kwai Fong belonged to Central, which was very close to Times Square, but Lan Kwai Fong was surrounded by old buildings, compared to the high-end office buildings in Central. The housing prices of the old buildings around Lan Kwai Fong are very cheap, and when Li Shenghua said the words "Lan Kwai Fong", he suddenly thought that in later generations, Lan Kwai Fong was a very famous bar street in Hong Kong, not only famous in Hong Kong, but also famous at home and abroad.

"The old building was demolished. No office buildings will be built, half of the residential and half of the commercial area, the shops are mainly rented to catering operators, attracting white-collar workers in Central to spend after work, and the residences are mainly single apartments with fine decoration. Not for sale, hold for a long time, for rent. ”

"Good idea." Li Hualong nodded and praised, "How much money do you expect to need for the whole project?" ”

"Look at the situation of the acquisition of the old building, if the acquisition of the old building goes well. And in the next six months, housing prices have not risen sharply, Jiuan Group can come up with a maximum of 200 million funds to develop this project, if the funds are not enough, then can only borrow from the bank. ”

Li Hualong smiled slightly, looked at Li Huawen and said, "Big brother, Sheng Hua's idea is good. ”

"I also think it's good, and I support him." Li Huawen smiled. "A while ago, I met with Bao Yunqiu, with the help of Centaline Real Estate. I secretly bought some old flats in Lan Kwai Fong...... What about you, have you recently bought an old building? ”

"Buy, but I didn't go out of my way to buy the old building." Li Hualong paused and said with a smile, "In the past year, housing prices have fallen greatly. I should take the initiative and prepare to acquire the old building units around the headquarters of the Causeway Bay Tramway Depot. I am going to wait for the train depot to move one day in the future. Tear down the surrounding old buildings and rebuild them into a huge project. ”

"I remember that before you bought the tram factory, you were thinking about the land of this company, and in six or seven years, did you buy an old building nearby?"

"At that time, I bought some, but I didn't take the initiative to buy it, someone sold it, I bought it, and in recent years, it has been like this, if someone puts it on the market, a little higher than the market price, I will also buy it." Li Hualong replied with a smile.

"Sometimes I have to admire your vision of people, with Yunqiu helping you manage the Central Plains Real Estate Company, you don't have to worry about the company's management at all, and she can also complete the acquisition of the old building for you." Li Huawen sighed.

"Big brother, don't envy me, you have to ask Yunqiu how much he earns a year now, I estimate that no one in the executives of your company has a higher income than Yunqiu."

"How much does Yunqiu earn in a year?" Li Huawen asked curiously.

"Last year, her monthly salary and various bonuses combined exceeded 500,000 yuan, and I also taught her how to invest." Li Hualong said with a smile.

"No wonder ......," Li Huawen smiled and nodded.

"What's the wonder?" Li Hualong asked lightly.

"I guess what Yunqiu values more is that you teach her how to invest." Li Huawen replied, "How did Yunqiu invest last year?" ”

"I suggested she buy gold." Li Hualong said with a smile, "Before the peak of the stock market last year, she sold all the stocks in her hand and sold a few houses. ”

"In the past year or so, the price of gold has risen a lot, and stocks and real estate have depreciated, sell stocks and real estate, and use the proceeds to buy gold......" Li Shengquan looked at Li Hualong with a little surprise, "Third uncle, you are really a god, can you predict the future?" ”

"That's right, this is my most important secret, and I actually let you know." Li Hualong joked, "You can't tell anyone about this, you have to keep it secret for me." ”

"Don't worry, we'll keep it a secret." Li Shengquan said with a smile.

"Ah Long, do you know how much money Yunqiu has?" Zhou Liyun asked curiously.

"More than eight million. If the stock market had gone up a bit, her assets would have exceeded 10 million. Li Hualong replied.

"I now understand why the top brass of your company are working so hard." Li Huawen smiled and said, "By the way, I saw that the Dalilian supermarket in Central hung a sign for clearance sales, I think your supermarket should have closed down a long time ago, and there is a Carrefour supermarket less than a hundred meters away." ”

"Why didn't you give me advice before?" Li Hualong asked with a smile.

"It doesn't have to be closed, two supermarkets exist to avoid competitors around." Li Huawen argued.

"You say that, and it makes sense." Li Hualong paused and asked, "Big brother, are you interested in running a retail business?" ”

"You don't want to sell Carrefour, do you?" Li Huawen was surprised.

"Nope. I am very optimistic about the development prospects of Carrefour Group, in another six months, we will open shopping malls in Singapore, and in the future, we will open subsidiaries in other overseas countries, and in Hong Kong, we will open more branches, but it is impossible to monopolize the retail industry in Hong Kong, there will be competitors in the future, if you get involved in the retail industry in Hong Kong, our brothers can basically monopolize the market. ”

"Good idea." Li Huawen thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll set up a chain retail business, but you have to help me." ”

"Okay, you just contact Yunshan, he will arrange some capable employees to join your company, you don't want to treat them badly."

"No...... No, Dalilian Shopping in Central is closed, and you want to lay off some employees, you suggested that I set up a retail company to arrange new jobs for these people, right? Li Huawen said with a smile.

"You can understand it that way." Li Hualong smiled and said, "Big brother, you don't think I'll dig a pit for you, right?" ”

"No, it won't. It's mutually beneficial, and that's good. Li Huawen said with a smile. (To be continued)
