Chapter 108: The Beatles

One morning in late May, Li Huahu was sleeping at home on the top of a mountain when he was woken up by a phone call.

"Who?" Li Huahu muttered depressedly, opened his worried eyes, and picked up the phone, "Hello, who is it?" ”

"Fourth uncle, me!" Li Shengquan said with a smile.

"Ah Quan, why are you calling me so early, I haven't woken up yet!" Li Huahu roared.

"Speak quietly." Li Huahu's roar woke up the person next to the pillow - Wen Cuiping.

"Fourth uncle, I was going to tell you a piece of good news, but since you don't want to hear it, I won't say it." Li Shengquan took retreat as the way forward.

"I see that your kid has itchy skin, you woke up your aunt, and she was angry." Li Huahu smiled, "If you have a fart, let it go!" ”

"If you speak quietly, the fourth aunt won't wake up." Li Shengquan smiled.

"Don't talk to me, just talk about something. If it's okay, I'll clean you up! ”

"Fourth uncle, we can't talk well!" Li Shengquan smiled and continued, "In half a month, the Beatles of England will come to Hong Kong to hold a concert. ”

"Really?" Li Huahu said with a little excitement.

"Fake."

Li Huahu knew that what Li Shengquan said was true, and asked with a smile, "How did you know this news?" ”

The newspaper published the news. The concert was held at Hualian Cinema. ”

"The cinema at the Intercontinental Hotel?"

"Of course, the other movie theaters aren't big enough."

"Great, we don't have to worry about tickets. I'm very busy in the next few days, and you can help me with the ticket business. ”

"No problem."

"Remember, if I can't get a ticket and I can't listen to the Beatles' concert, don't blame me for beating you."

"Fourth uncle, you can't stop being so violent, you know how to bully me."

"Hehe, you can sue your dad, maybe he'll help you."

"I'll sue grandpa and let grandpa clean you up."

Li Huahu suddenly felt a cold wind blowing in the back of his head, and said with a smile: "Just kidding." Who are we with whom! ”

"I won't talk to you anymore, you can go back to sleep!" Li Huaquan hung up the phone after speaking.

Li Huahu still felt sleepy, and he didn't sleep anymore, and while dressing, he hummed: "love, love-me-do, you-know-i-love-you, i'll-always-be-true......"

Last year, after graduating from university, Li Shengquan brought back a few Beatles records from London and introduced the Beatles music to his family.

Li Huawen doesn't like the Beatles' songs, and he can even say that he hates them a little, and Li Hualong also likes them and often listens to the Beatles' songs, but he feels that he is not a loyal fan, and this time the Beatles came to Hong Kong to perform, he naturally will not give up the opportunity to listen to the songs live.

On June 10, the four members of the Beatles on an international tour arrived in Hong Kong and stayed at the InterContinental Hotel that night.

The next day, on the afternoon of the 11th, the Beatles held a concert at the Hualian Cinema, which was a sold-out concert with most of the audience Caucasians.

Li Hualong, Li Huahu and Li Shengquan came to the scene together and watched the concert.

After more than an hour of concert, most of the audience had a feeling of unfinished.

"It's so enjoyable!" Li Shengquan smiled, "No, it's not enjoyable enough, fortunately, there will be another one tomorrow." ”

"I feel the same way." Li Huahu smiled and patted Li Shengquan's shoulder, "When you were in England, did you ever hear the Beatles concert?" ”

"Nope. The Beatles had a concert in London, but that day, I happened to have something to do and couldn't leave. ”

"I hope the Beatles will come to Hong Kong for more concerts in the future." Li Huahu sighed.

"As long as you can afford it, you can invite them to Hong Kong at any time." Li Hualong smiled faintly.

"That's right." Li Huahu said with a smile.

"Fourth uncle, you won't really pay for the Beatles to come to Hong Kong for a concert, right?" Li Shengquan said curiously.

"Today's concert, you also watched it, it was full! Also, tickets for tomorrow's concert are also sold out, which shows that there are many Beatles fans in Hong Kong. ”

Li Huahu looked around, looked at the audience that was gradually dispersing, and continued: "If the price is reasonable, it is still profitable to invite the Beatles to come to Hong Kong for a concert and operate properly. ”

"Good idea." Li Hualong nodded.

"Are you interested?" Li Huahu asked curiously.

"Not interested!"

"Would you be interested if the Beatles signed to your label?" Li Huahu asked a question that is now almost impossible to achieve.

A few years ago, Li Hualong set up a wholly-owned record company - Huayi Brothers Records, at the beginning of the establishment of this company, mainly for Huayi Brothers Pictures, recorded and released some movie episodes, and later, signed several singers, released many best-selling records.

"The Beatles will become the benchmark of the world's pop music, Huayi Brothers Records is only a big scale, although it has some influence in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, but it does not match the Beatles at all, the songs sung by this band are all English songs, and the main market is in Europe and the United States...... There is no opportunity for cooperation now, but in the future, there may be a real possibility of cooperation. ”

"You're still buying record companies in Europe and the United States?" Li Huahu asked with a smile.

"Who can tell what will happen in the future, let's go, let's go backstage!"

Backstage in the cinema, Li Hualong and others met the four members of the Beatles.

Li Hualong, as the owner of the Intercontinental Hotel and Hualian Cinema, the Beatles held a concert on his territory, he naturally had a little privilege, he expressed to the Beatles' manager, he and his family were Beatles fans, invited the band members to dinner, and the band's agent took it upon himself to agree to Li Hualong's invitation for the four members of the band.

Li Shengquan studied in England for four more years, and was able to speak a fluent London accent, Li Huahu also spoke English well, and they had a pleasant conversation with the four members of the Beatles, while Li Hualong spoke very little, although he was also fluent in English.

Li Hualong invited guests to dinner, not only paid, but also got a lot of benefits, he and Li Huahu, and Li Shengquan all took photos with the Beatles members, and got signed posters and signed records.

Many years later, at a charity auction, Li Hualong took out a photo signed by Li Hualong with the Beatles, as well as a signed poster of the four members of the Beatles and a signed record of the home Lennon, a lot of three items, and raised a total of 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

Later, the person who spent 10 million Hong Kong dollars to buy these collectibles, encountered an economic crisis, took out these things again, and sent them to the auction company for auction, and the final price was as high as more than 80 million Hong Kong dollars, which made many people feel incredible, but some people think that these things are worth the money, after all, this is Li Hualong, the richest man in the world, and the world's greatest band, The Beatles, are related to the items, and they are very collectible.
