Chapter 156: Faith has nothing to do with gods and Buddhas
After lunch, Li Huawen, Li Huawen and Li Huahu took a dip in the pool to escape the heat, drinking drinks and chatting at the same time.
After chatting for a while, Li Hualong smiled and said: "I heard that Hong Kong is going to develop a container terminal in Kwai Chung, and investing in this project will definitely make a profit, are you interested in investing in shares?" ”
"Yes!" Li Huawen said with a smile, "I have heard the news of the development of a container terminal in Kwai Chung for a long time. Regardless of whether Hong Kong's economy is good or bad, the amount of goods flowing out of Hong Kong every day is staggering. I feel that the return on investment of a container terminal business is no worse than that of a quarry. ”
Li Hualong looked at Li Huahu, who was drinking iced tea, and asked, "Fourth brother, what about you?" ”
Li Huahu shook his head and said: "The investment in this project must be very large, and I am not interested in it, so I will not invest." I am going to invest in a real estate project in Macau. ”
"Whatever you want." Li Hualong paused and continued, "Abba's Evergrande Company and Bao Yugang's Global Shipping Company are all interested in participating in the shares, big brother, you, plus me, the four parties each account for 25% of the shares, how about it?" ”
"Okay!" Li Huawen smiled, "What is this joint venture company called?" ”
Li Hualong thought for a moment and said, "Hong Kong International Container Terminals Co., Ltd." ”
"That's a good name, and I'm in favor of it." Li Huawen nodded and said, "You plan to invest in this company in your personal name?" ”
"yes!" Li Hualong replied, "What about you? ”
"Invest in the name of Jiuan Group." Li Huawen said.
"Big brother, Gemdale Group has been listed, before the establishment of this company, you thought about operating Huawen Real Estate Company to be listed," Li Huahu smiled and asked, "When are you going to go public?" ”
"If nothing else, it will be available next year!" Li Huawen replied.
"Aren't you afraid of missing another good opportunity to go public?" Li Huahu quipped.
Before. Li Huawen regretted not letting Huawen Real Estate Company go public in early 1966, and talked about it in front of Li Huahu many times, and Li Huahu remembered it deeply.
"Don't be afraid, Aaron said, in the next few years, there will be a big bull market in the Hong Kong stock market." Li Huawen laughed.
"Big brother, it's up to you to decide, don't talk to me, I don't want to be a sinner for the ages!" Li Hualong smiled bitterly.
"I'm also bullish on the Hong Kong stock market." Li Huawen said with a smile.
"Third brother, since you are optimistic about the Hong Kong stock market. Then Gemdale Group can postpone the listing time! Li Huahu was puzzled.
"Gemdale Group is not my own, before, Gemdale Group acquired five joint venture real estate companies, and I also had to accept some requests from other shareholders. Besides, I have a very high debt ratio now, and I am short of money, Gemdale Group is listed, regardless of selling stocks to cash out. It is still convenient to take a mortgage from the bank with stocks. ”
After listening to Li Hualong's explanation, Li Huahu nodded and pondered for a moment. Smiled and asked, "If Galaxy Entertainment Macau is listed now, what will be the market value?" ”
Li Hualong smiled faintly: "It's hard to say. On the Hong Kong stock market, there is not yet a professional gaming company listed. ”
Li Huawen asked: "Ah Hu, do you want Galaxy Entertainment Company to go public?" ”
Li Huahu smiled and said, "I have some ideas." But this idea is not strong, this company is not bad at profitability and is not short of money at all. If it is listed, it is to facilitate shareholders to sell their shares and cash out. ”
"Someone wants to sell shares?" Li Huawen said with interest, "I'm interested." ”
"I didn't say someone sold shares." Li Hualong said with a smile, "If you are interested in taking a stake in Galaxy Entertainment Company, I can help you ask Ye Han and other minority shareholders." ”
"Okay, thank you!" Li Huawen smiled and said, "Ah Hu, how is your relationship with the minority shareholders as the absolute controlling shareholder?" ”
"That's good!"
"Didn't there be any conflict?" Li Huawen asked curiously.
"I didn't harm the interests of minority shareholders because I am the absolute controlling shareholder, and they work in the casino with a high salary, and I also give them enough face, what kind of contradiction can there be?!"
"It's good that there is no contradiction, although running a casino makes money, I always feel that the casino is very messy." Li Huawen said with a smile.
"It's messy." Li Huahu said in a deep voice, "A while ago, two employees conspired with outsiders to cheat the company of a large amount of money. ”
"You're not going to kill them, are you?" Li Huawen was surprised.
"There are a lot of things that don't need my instructions, and naturally someone will help the company deal with some things that are not on the table." Li Huahu said lightly, "Sometimes I think about it, it's quite contradictory to be a man, many times, I want to sell the shares of the casino, but the casino is too profitable, I really can't put it down." ”
"Ah Hu, don't put too much pressure on yourself." Li Hualong said with concern.
"Third brother, don't worry, I don't have any pressure, I'm quite comfortable now!" Li Huahu said happily.
After chatting a few words, Li Huahu said: "Third brother, on the day of the registration of our family's charitable foundation, I think it is best to donate a large sum of money to make a good start." ”
"The purpose of setting up a foundation is to do charity, not to do business, and it doesn't need to be a good start." Li Hualong smiled, "However, then again, what you said is not unreasonable. The establishment of this charitable foundation is to do charity, and the second is to make a name for itself, and a good start is very important to make a name for yourself. ”
"I've told you everything." Li Huawen quipped, took a sip of his drink, and said, "Why don't you donate a teaching building to the University of Hong Kong?" ”
"Okay!" Li Hualong is as kind as a runner, "How about donating 10 million Hong Kong dollars?" ”
"10 million Hong Kong dollars, that's too much, right?!" Li Huahu muttered.
"I have a lot of money, so I'll donate more." Li Hualong smiled faintly.
"No, Li Yisong and Son Foundation, but the charitable foundation on behalf of our entire family, the first charity project after the establishment of the foundation, is of great significance, and I can't donate less money than you." Li Huahu is serious.
"If you are willing to donate 10 million alone, I will not object." Li Hualong said with a smile.
"Huh!" Li Huahu smiled, "Let's donate the same amount of money." Counting Abba, the foundation is named after him, and our three brothers, plus Abba, each donated 2.5 million yuan! ”
"Two hundred and five, that doesn't sound good." Li Huawen said.
"Then add another 300,000. 2.8 million each, a total of 11.2 million...... How can that be done? Li Huahu smiled.
"So that's it?" Li Huawen laughed.
"That's it." Li Hualong smiled slightly, "Every year in the future, I will take out tens of millions of dollars for charity." ”
"Third brother, you haven't made any black money." Li Huahu muttered, "You won't have nightmares or anything, right?" ”
"Nope." Li Hualong replied with a smile.
"Do you believe what the Buddhists say, the six realms of reincarnation?" Li Huahu asked.
"I can't believe it or not, but I feel that by doing charity, my soul can be soothed. Do these things yourself, and feel happy for yourself. And make others happy, why not?! ”
Before the soul memories of the two Li Hualong fused together, the two Li Hualong in different time and space originally had no religious beliefs, but they had never done it, nor did they go over to do anything to defile the Buddha and the gods first.
For Li Hualong at this time, the fusion of two souls from different time and space was too magical, he didn't know what made this magical thing happen to him, he thought that it was the gods and Buddhas who were helping him. But when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it was impossible, and in his impression, gods and Buddhas would not do good deeds without leaving a name. He didn't think that some god or Buddha had helped him.
Nowadays, Li Hualong has some faith in his heart, not believing in a certain religion or a certain god and Buddha, he hopes to make sure that his own efforts are met. To make the world a little better, he also believes that he has the ability.
Li Hualong feels that with his understanding of the general trend of global economic development, as long as there are no people like him in the world. He can become the richest man in the world, or even the richest man in history.
Li Hualong enjoys the process of making money, but he doesn't want to be a money-making machine, too much money is a number for him, he is willing to spend money, spend a lot of money to do something he feels meaningful.
Li Hualong is willing to do charity, but he has not thought about "naked donation", as long as his children are angry, he is willing to give a large amount of assets to his children.
Soon after the birth of his eldest son and eldest daughter, Li Hualong began to plan how to let his children inherit his business in the future, as long as his children are willing to do business, after the age of 25, they will get a large amount of money from him, or transfer the shares of the company he founded to the name of their children, Li Hualong hopes that his children will start their own business as soon as possible.
After his children set up their own door, Li Hualong is not ready to let it go, he is willing to provide some constructive advice, if he doesn't listen, he won't mind too much, even if the disobedient children can't run a business and finally goes bankrupt, he won't be too distressed, he can make more money.
"Aaron, you're in a good state of mind." Li Huawen praised, "Do things with a clear conscience and integrity, and you will not be afraid of ghosts." ”
"Big brother, how can I have righteousness all my life!" Li Hualong sneered, "I feel quite sleek, as long as I don't cross my bottom line as a person, I am willing to compromise on many things." ”
"It's good to have a bottom line, there are many people in this world who don't have a bottom line." Li Huawen laughed.
"Big brother, do you have a bottom line for being a man?" Li Huahu asked with a smile.
"Of course." Li Huawen is colorful.
"Maybe the bottom line in your heart is not a bottom line at all in the eyes of others." Li Huahu smiled.
Li Huawen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, looked at Li Huahu a few times, and said with a hearty smile: "Ah Hu, okay, I didn't expect you to be able to say such philosophical words......
"What's this, hehe, no...... Big brother, what do you mean, your fourth brother and I are top students who graduated from the University of Hong Kong, and saying a few philosophical words is nothing at all. ”
"Stop playing tricks." Li Hualong said with a smile and changed the topic, "The architect of my Greenland Architectural Design Firm has designed the school teaching building before, and there is a design work, which I think is very good, and the estimated construction cost is 10 million Hong Kong dollars." ”
"If you think it's good, use that design." Li Huahu said.
"Can you let Jiu'an Construction Company undertake the construction of this teaching building?" Li Huawen asked with a smile.
"Of course, you can donate money to build a teaching building, and you also have a share." Li Hualong smiled.
"Jiu'an Construction Company will definitely undertake this project with all its heart, as long as it makes five percent of the profit." Li Huawen said.
"Big brother, if a construction company undertakes a project, the profit of five percent is very low, right?" Li Huahu asked.
"It's very low. If you invest in a real estate project, find other construction companies, and say that the profit is 5%, the other party will definitely do the accounting, raise the cost, and the real profit will exceed 30%, which is not difficult. ”
"The construction company does not pay for the project after it is built, and the installment payment is made, and the builder does not need to advance the funds at all, which is considered a 30% profit without capital, which is too scary, right?" Li Huahu said in surprise.
"You ask your third brother what the situation is." Li Huawen shook his head with a smile, and without waiting for Li Huahu to ask, he continued, "Even if it is a government project, the construction company has to advance funds, let alone cooperate with real estate developers." ”
"You cooperate with the third brother, and it's the same?" Li Huahu smiled.
"When Aaron has enough funds in his hands, he will naturally pay in advance, but sometimes he will also have a shortage of funds." Li Huawen glanced at Li Hualong twice and sighed, "Without Aaron's support over the years, Jiu'an Group would not have been able to have its current scale!" ”
"Big brother, I also want to thank you, if it weren't for your strong support for me, I would definitely have spent more time and energy investing in the development of real estate projects." Li Hualong smiled and said, "By the way, the vacant land next to your house has been bought for more than two years, and the land has been leveled, when are you going to demolish and rebuild it?" ”
"Ready to rebuild in early September." Li Huawen replied.
"So, big brother, you're moving?" Li Huahu asked.
"yes." Li Huawen smiled.
"Big brother, it's very convenient for your family to move to me." Li Hualong said.
"Nope." Li Huawen refused, "I have a few villas under my name, there is no shortage of places to live, my family comes to live for a long time, it is a little inconvenient, so I won't trouble you." ”
"Whatever you want." Li Hualong didn't insist, he smiled slightly, "Sheng Hua is very talented, his design, I have seen it, it is really great, if he puts more effort into architectural design, in the future, he will definitely become a world-renowned architectural design master." ”
"I don't think he's calm enough." Li Huawen smiled and sighed.
"Big brother, what are you sighing for, I think Shenghua is good enough, don't be satisfied." Li Huahu said with a smile.
"I also know that people are more popular than dead people, don't talk about him, contentment is always happy, I want to learn to be content!" Li Huawen smiled, "To be honest, in many ways, Shenghua is quite good. (To be continued......)
