On the afternoon of February 12, Li Hualong and Xi Chongyi took a plane to Bangkok, Thailand.

The next day, Li Hualong signed an equity purchase agreement with the shareholders of Oriental Hotel Bangkok, completing the wholly-owned acquisition of Oriental Hotel.

After the acquisition of the Oriental Hotel, Li Hualong did not immediately change the management of the hotel, he would not take the initiative to dismiss if he was willing to stay, if someone wanted to resign, he would not stay, he intended to let Times Land Company acquire the Oriental Hotel by issuing new shares in the future, but he did not want the Mandarin Oriental Hotel to interfere in the management of the Oriental Hotel for the time being.

On the night of the signing of the acquisition, Li Hualong and Xi Chongyi staged a passionate drama on the big bed of the luxury suite of the Oriental Hotel.

When the clouds and rain stopped, Li Hualong and Xi Chongyi came to the bathroom and lay down in the bathtub to take a bath.

After chatting for a while, Li Hualong said: "I will buy a piece of land in the center of Bangkok to build a Four Seasons Hotel. ”

Xi Chongyi was slightly stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "You already have this plan?" ”

"Improvised. I feel that the investment environment in Bangkok is good, and the low price is quite cheap now. ”

"I heard you say that the Four Seasons Hotel is positioned as a super five-star hotel, how much do you plan to invest?"

Li Hualong said with a smile: "It will definitely not be less than 200 million Hong Kong dollars." ”。

Xi Chongyi smiled slightly, and then asked, "Have you ever thought about how long it will take to recoup your investment?" ”

"I've thought about it." Li Hualong smiled and kissed Xi Chongyi on the cheek, "Don't worry that your husband and I will lose money in business, even if it is a loss." ”

"It's a pleasure to see the buildings you've invested in rise from the ground, right?"

"Yes!" Li Hualong nodded with a smile, "This is not a bad thing, you won't stop me, right?" ”

"I've got your back!" Xi Chongyi pursed her lips and smiled, and was silent for a moment, "It takes time to buy land." How long will you be in Bangkok this time? ”

"It depends on the situation, it's best to solve it within five days, if it drags on for two or three days, it's fine, if it takes too long, we have to go back to Hong Kong first and let others follow up."

Three days later, Mr. Lee bought a 12,000-square-metre plot of land from a Chinese real estate developer in Bangkok, on which he allowed Bèi to build a Four Seasons hotel with more than 1,000 rooms.

After spending seven nights in Bangkok, Lee and Xi boarded a flight to Hong Kong.

Xi Chongyi loved the stunning scenery of Bangkok. On the way back to Hong Kong by plane, she said to Li Hualong: "Next summer, when the children are on vacation, our family will come to Bangkok to play for a few days." ”

"I'll talk about it when I have time." Li Hualong smiled, "There are many beautiful places in Thailand, and I heard that the scenery of Phuket is particularly beautiful. In a few days, I will send someone to Phuket to investigate the investment environment, if I can. Build a resort in Phuket. ”

"How big a resort is Gai?"

"Hmm...... It depends. If the land price is cheap, there is no problem in enclosing thousands of acres of land. ”

"What a big breath." Xi Chongyi quipped that she knew that buying thousands of acres of land in Thailand was a very simple thing for her husband Li Hualong.

"Don't fight. What to do with your husband! Li Hualong joked.

"Seriously, Aaron, I think it's very risky for you to invest in a luxury hotel in Bangkok with more than 1,000 rooms. After all, you now have two luxury hotels in Bangkok, Holiday Inn and Oriental Hotel, and when the Four Seasons Hotel in Bangkok opens, you don't just have to think about attracting customers to this hotel. Also think about ensuring room occupancy at Holiday Inn and Oriental Hotels. ”

"Maybe in the first few years, the occupancy rate of the Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok will not be very high, but as the Thai economy continues to develop, the hotel industry in the capital Bangkok will also develop rapidly, and we have taken the opportunity to invest in the Four Seasons Hotel early, and in the long run, this investment will not fail, and it will be able to achieve a good return on investment."

"I hope you get your wish." Xi Chongyi smiled slightly and yawned, "I didn't sleep very well last night, I was a little sleepy." ”

"Then you go to sleep first, I'll read the newspaper."

"Oh, then I'm asleep."

Li Hualong and Xi Chongyi took business class, sleeping on a chair, which was also quite comfortable, Xi Chongyi closed her eyes, and after a while, she fell asleep.

Li Hualong looked at Xi Chongyi's sleeping appearance, smiled knowingly, and said secretly in his heart: "I can let the four wives and concubines be with me without complaints, and I have not lived in vain in my life...... Although they have no complaints, they will definitely have a little mustard in their hearts, and in the future, I will spend more time with them. As long as the trajectory of history does not change too much in the future, it is easy for me to make money...... Also, I want to spend more time with my children, educate them well, and hope that when they grow up, they will have something to do. ”

Li Hualong thought about it, he also felt sleepy, he didn't endure it, he just lay down and went to sleep, now, he was on the plane, with two casual bodyguards sitting behind him, he was not worried about the safety of his life at all.

Before Li Hualong and Xi Chongyi returned to Hong Kong, Li Hualong's bodyguards drove several cars to the airport gate to greet them.

Since Li Hualong made more than HK$20 billion by investing in international crude oil futures, he has increased the number of bodyguards to protect him and his family, and has also purchased several bulletproof cars.

More than half an hour later, across the sea by car, Li Hualong and Xi Chongyi returned to their home on Repulse Bay Road on Hong Kong Island.

Entering the living room, Li Hualong saw his mother and Chen Sisi taking care of Li Shengyou.

"Grandma, Sisi, we're back." Li Hualong greeted with a smile.

"Grandma, Sisi!" Xi Chongyi smiled, "Sheng You." ”

"Mom!" Li Shengyou, who was almost two years old, opened his calves and ran towards Xi Chongyi.

"Run slowly." Xi Chongyi greeted him, squatted down, hugged his son in his arms, patted him, kissed his son on the cheek, and asked with a smile, "Sheng You, do you miss your mother?" ”

"Yes, I miss Mom!" Li Shengyou chuckled.

"Don't want Daddy?" Li Hualong leaned over and asked with a smile.

Li Shengyou hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and I'm separated from my father? Let Daddy cuddle! Li Hualong smiled, opened his arms, and took Li Shengyou from Xi Chongyi's hand.

After Li Hualong sat down, he looked at his mother with a smile and asked, "Grandma, these days." Are you alright? ”

"Good!" Li Song nodded with a smile, "What about you, Bangkok, Thailand is fun, right?" ”

"It was fun, the view was beautiful. In the future, if you have the chance, you and Abba will also go to play for a few days. Abba is already seventy-one years old, Auntie, you persuade him, let him retire at home, spend more time with you, and help me take care of the children at home. ”

"I can't persuade you. Persuade more. ”

"Okay, when he gets home, he'll talk to him."

More than an hour later, Li Yisong returned home from work.

Li Hualong chatted with Li Yisong for a few words, and he persuaded: "Abba, just now Grandma said that you are a lot old, and you don't spend much time with her at home......"

"Don't persuade me, I have no plans to retire for the time being." Li Yisong interrupted with a smile. "I know my physical condition, okay, you don't have to worry about me, I don't go out to work every day. I went to work for a few hours every other day, and I wasn't tired at all. ”

"Take it easy."

Li Hualong also knew that proper work was beneficial to the health of the elderly, and many old cadres in China had nothing to do after retiring. Sick more easily.

Li Yisong smiled and said: "I have good news for you, I have bought a lot of shares of big hotels in the past few days, and the shareholding ratio is more than 15%. ”

"It's a good thing." Li Hualong said happily. "Is it me at the price I said?"

"yes. Now that the Hong Kong stock market is in a downturn, the stock prices of most listed companies continue to fall, and the share prices of large hotels have fallen a little less, and more shareholders are eager to sell and cash out. ”

Li Hualong said with a smile: "I estimate that in the next six months, the Hong Kong stock market will not improve, as long as you do a good job of confidentiality and spend more time, it will not be difficult to obtain a controlling stake in this company." As long as you have an absolute controlling stake and want to acquire a wholly-owned hotel, it will not be difficult. ”

"Do you want to buy a big hotel as a wholly owned company?" Li Yisong said with a little surprise.

Before, Li Yisong didn't know that DΓ o Li Hualong wanted to buy the hotel as a wholly-owned company, and thought that he just felt that the company's shares were undervalued, and invested in buying, just to wait for the stock market to rise, sell and cash out for profit, he clearly remembered that Li Hualongyu bought a large number of shares of listed companies in 1967, and sold them to cash out five years later and made huge profits.

"That's right!"

"The Grand Hotel, especially the Peninsula Hotel, this is the face of the Kadoorie family."

"Abba, don't you think our family's influence in Hong Kong is as strong as that of the Kadoorie family?" Li Hualong asked with a smile.

"You can't just look at who has the influence." Li Yisong frowned, thought for a moment, and shook his head with a smile, "I don't care about you anymore, your business is getting bigger and bigger now, and if you want to do bigger and better, you need to grab meat from other people's bowls to eat." ”

"I think the acquisition of the hotel, not to talk about grabbing anyone's meat to eat, the Kadoorie family holds a very low stake in the hotel, if you really regard the hotel as their own ban + belly, and do not allow others to get involved, then the stake will be higher...... In the future, I will definitely make an offer to buy the hotel in its entirety, and if the Kadoorie family is willing to pay a higher price, I can sell my shares to him. ”

"Ah Long, you are oppressing people with money!" Chen Sisi quipped.

Chen Sisi has confirmed that she is pregnant, and she has become lazy, although she has not been pregnant for a long time, she is reluctant to go out to work, and prefers to stay at home.

"I prefer to describe the new giants as energetic and the old giants as lifeless." Li Hualong said happily.

"It's more appropriate for the new giants to suppress the old giants!" Li Yisong smiled.

……

The full name of the hotel is Hong Kong Magic City Hotel, and Hong Kong people refer to it as the hotel, which shows its fame and influence.
