The morning after Christmas, Li Hualong learned that the painter Sanyu had died the previous night.

For Sanyu's death, Li Hualong did not feel one, as early as three months ago, Sanyu was diagnosed with stomach cancer by the doctor, and it was at an advanced stage.

Sanyu had no children in his life, and since he was invited by Li Hualong to come to Hong Kong, his life has improved dramatically.

Li Hualong respects Sanyu as an adult, Li Yisong and his wife have a good relationship with Sanyu, and often invite Sanyu to his home as a guest, and Li Yisong often visits Sanyu.

Three months before Sanyu's death, Li Hualong visited the hospital and accommodation several times.

Li Yisong saw that Li Hualong's expression was a little solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Hualong, if you want to open something, everyone is born, old, sick and dead." When I went to visit him the other day, he said that the luckiest thing in my life is to meet you, not only is you old and dependent, but also your paintings have been recognized by the public......"

"Abba, I'm fine." Li Hualong squeezed out some smiles on his face, "This morning, Gemdale Group is going to hold a board meeting, and I can't be absent......"

Li Hualong said and turned his head to look at Li Shengrui, and said, "Shengrui, don't go to work today, go to your grandfather Chang's place and take care of the aftermath." ”

"Dad, I haven't done this kind of thing." Li Shengrui is embarrassed.

"I'll go with you." Li Yisong smiled and said, "In addition to eating, drinking, and sleeping, there are not many things that can be done in life, as long as you are willing to learn, you will naturally learn." ”

"Oh!" Li Shengrui nodded in response.

After Li Shenglong had breakfast, he decided to go to Sanyu's residence first.

After more than ten years of praise by Li Hualong, Sanyu has now become a world-renowned Chinese painter, his oil paintings are the highest selling among Chinese painters, and last autumn, Sanyu's painting "Five Nudes/Women" sold for HK$250,000 in Li Lian's Song Autumn Auction.

Sanyu had already made a will to leave all his estate to Li Hualong, and in order to avoid paying high inheritance taxes, he sold his paintings for a very low price, and the villa where he lived was provided by Li Hualong. It can be said that when he died, he did not leave much inheritance, and the oil paintings hanging on the wall of his residence long belonged to Li Hualong.

Sanyu has been in Hong Kong for more than ten years. In addition to Li Hualong's family, he also met many friends, these people knew the relationship between Sanyu and Li Hualong, he died, and they all attended Sanyu's funeral. See him off.

On the last day of 1980, on the afternoon of December 31, Li Huawen and Li Huahu's families came to Yisong Garden one after another, and tonight, the two families will spend the night here.

Li Shenghua was the first to come to Yisong Garden alone, came to the villa where Li Yisong lived, and met Li Yisong, Li Hualong and others.

After the big move, Li Shenghua sat next to Li Hualong and said with a smile: "Third uncle, didn't you go to work today?" ”

"yes!" Li Hualong smiled. "Why didn't you bring the kids with you?"

"There are enough people tonight, so I won't bring them over to join in the fun." Li Shenghua said with a smile.

"Sheng Hua, how do you speak?" Li Yisong waited for his grandson to glance, "Although you are not married to your child's mother, they are also your children, and there are family activities at home, so you should take them with you." ”

"Got it, I'll definitely bring them with me next time." Li Shenghua smiled and nodded in response.

"Your girlfriends can bring them over if they want." Li Yisong smiled.

"Okay, ask them next time." Li Shenghua smiled. Changing the subject, he said, "Third Uncle, there is something I want to report to you. ”

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

"That's the case......" Li Shenghua continued with a soft voice. I heard that the UK parent company of Leigh TV has lost a lot of money by investing in a laundry (chain of dry cleaners) in Canada, and has decided to shrink its business in East Asia, preparing to sell its more than 60% stake in Li's TV, and is looking for a buyer...... You see, can I buy these shares? ”

"As long as you feel it's profitable, that's fine."

"There are only two TV stations in Hong Kong. If I buy Leigh's TV, I'll have to fight TVB from now on. ”

"As soon as you say that, I want to support you even more to buy Li's TV."

"Why?" Li Shenghua asked puzzled.

"Isn't it a good thing for us that our family has a monopoly on Hong Kong's television industry?" Li Hualong asked with a smile.

"That's right." Li Shenghua patted his thigh with a smile and said with a smile, "In the future, I will find an opportunity to buy a few newspapers." ”

"See for yourself." Li Hualong paused and asked, "Have you told your father about the acquisition of Li's TV station?" ”

"I said it. He asked me to ask your opinion first. ”

"If I'm against it, then you're going to give up on a beautiful TV?"

"Oh!" Li Shenghua nodded with a smile, "Although I'm interested in Li's TV, I don't have to buy it." ”

"It's not easy to run a TV station, it's a good thing to run well, but if it's not good, it's a pit, and you need to keep filling it with money." Li Hualong said.

"I know, I want to try."

"Then let's try it." Li Hualong smiled, looked at Li Shenghua a few times, and asked, "What have you been busy with lately?" ”

"A few shops in Lan Kwai Fong have been renovated and are busy with leasing matters."

Li Hualong was slightly stunned and asked, "You renovated the shop and rented it out?" ”

"Yes. The decoration of each shop is very distinctive, the purpose of each shop has been set for a long time, and if you run a bar, you can't run a restaurant, and if you can't rent it, I plan to set up a management company and hire a professional to manage it. ”

"Why don't you just set up a management company and choose to rent out the store?"

"If you are your own boss, you will definitely be more attentive."

"Kind of makes sense." Li Hualong smiled, "I heard that Lan Kwai Fong is doing well now, it's very good, there are a lot of white-collar workers in Central, after work, go back for recreation." ”

"Who did you listen to?" Li Shenghua asked with a smile.

"Your dad, and others. Your dad has a lot of praise for you right now. ”

"I was just lucky, when I bought the old building in Lan Kwai Fong, it was in the downturn of the Hong Kong property market, and without my father's support, it would not have been possible to buy the old building in Lan Kwai Fong...... I remember when you gave me some great advice, without which Lan Kwai Fong would not have become a fashion street......"

At this time, Li Huawen and his wife came to the living room.

"Big brother. Sister-in-law, you're here. Li Hualong greeted with a smile.

"Abba, Mama." Li Huawen smiled, "Ah Long." What are you talking about? ”

"I'm praising your son!" Li Hualong said with a smile.

"He's ......" Li Huawen shook his head with a wry smile, and after sitting down, he asked, "Shenghua, have you talked about Jiahui?" ”

"Not yet." Li Shenghua said embarrassedly.

"Jiahui. Is it Quanfu's granddaughter? Li Yisong asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"She is Grandpa Bao's granddaughter, I have been dating Jiahui for a while, and she is pregnant." Li Shenghua said in a low voice.

"What?" Li Yisong's eyes widened, and he said unhappily, "You don't care about it, how can you provoke her?" ”

"Grandpa, Jiahui and I are in love." Li Shenghua smiled awkwardly.

"Two lovers?" Li Yisong smiled bitterly, "Have you decided to marry her?" ”

"I have discussed with Jiahui to get married during the Spring Festival next year." Li Shenghua replied.

"What about the other girlfriends?" Li Hualong asked curiously.

"If they want to. They can continue to be with me, and if they don't want to, they can find a boyfriend and get married. Li Shenghua paused and continued, "Jiahui has no objection to me being with them. ”

"You're a blessed, boy." Li Hualong quipped.

"After I get married, I will treat Jiahui well." Li Shenghua said.

"Hey!" Li Yisong sighed and asked, "Sheng Hua, do you think this is good?" ”

"Grandpa. What do you think should be done? Li Shenghua asked with a wry smile.

"I asked, but you asked about me." Li Yisong glanced at Li Shenghua.

Li Shenghua was silent for a moment and muttered, "If Jiahui wasn't Grandpa Bao's granddaughter, I probably wouldn't marry her...... I think Grandpa and Grandpa Bao are like brothers. I'm going to give Jiahui a name. Seriously, I'm quite conflicted in my heart, giving Jiahui the name will definitely make my other girlfriends sad......"

"Do you regret it?" Li Huawen glared at his son.

"There is no regret in the world for taking medicine, so I won't regret it." Li Shenghua said.

"You're right. Now that it happened, don't regret it. Li Yisong smiled and said, "Sheng Hua, you call Jiahui and ask her to come over for dinner, since she is pregnant, let her stay here tonight." ”

"Okay, I'll call now." Li Shenghua replied briskly.

A few days later, Li Shenghua bought a 61.5% stake in Leigh's TV for HK$120 million, which attracted the attention of many newspapers in Hong Kong.

Many people oppose Li Shenghua's acquisition of Leigh's TV, they believe that after Li Shenghua becomes the controlling shareholder of Leigh's TV, the Li family will monopolize Hong Kong's television industry, and they oppose the monopoly, but the Hong Kong government has not set up obstacles to the acquisition.

One morning in mid-January, before Li Hualong had breakfast, he received a call from Li Shenghua.

After a few pleasantries, Li Shenghua asked, "Third uncle, I have something I want to ask you for help." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I'm going to change the name of Li's TV to Asia Television, and I'm going to change it to a beautiful station logo, I know that you are a master of logo design, and I would like to ask you to help with this."

"ATV? Li's TV was acquired by Shenghua, and it was changed to the same name, which is amazing. Li Hualong muttered to himself in his heart.

Li Shenghua didn't hear Li Hualong's voice, and said again: "Third uncle, did you hear me?" ”

"I hear you." Li Hualong smiled, "Asia Television, the English name is AsiaTelevision, and the English abbreviation is ATV, right?" ”

"That's right, ATV in English."

"What do you think of the three primary colors of blue, green, and red for the station logo?"

"Yes. That is, don't look like TVB's station logo. ”

"It's definitely not going to be the same. You make me think about it...... In two days, you can come over for dinner, and when the time comes, I will give you the designed ATV station logo, and bring Jiahui, your grandfather likes your fiancée very much. ”

"Okay. Do you want to call my parents, and my eldest brother and sister-in-law? ”

"Whatever you want. It's okay, I'm hanging up, I haven't had breakfast yet! ”

"I'm sorry to disturb your breakfast."

"It's okay, bye-bye!" Li Hualong hung up the phone after speaking.

Two days later, Li Shenghua and Li Jiahui came to Li Hualong's house for dinner.

Before dinner, Li Shenghua saw the station logo designed by Li Hualong for ATV.

"Third uncle, this logo looks like a windmill."

"Yes, take it smoothly, and the water has no twists and turns. What do you think? ”

"Great!" Li Shenghua smiled like Li Hualong and gave a thumbs up.

"Brother Sheng Hua, my dad is a master designer, he designed the logo for you, how much money are you going to give him?" Li Linqi interjected with a smile.

"What kind of money to give, he's my third uncle." Li Shenghua smiled and said, "Linqi, when you get married, I will give you a big gift." ”

"How big is your gift?" Li Linqi quipped, "Is there a big dowry that my father prepared for me?" ”

"How can this compare?" Li Shenghua smiled bitterly, "Who doesn't know that the third uncle is super rich!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Li Hualong smiled faintly and stood up, "It's time to have dinner." ”

On the way to the restaurant for dinner, Li Shenghua looked at Li Linqi and asked, "Linqi, is that Li Haochuan okay?" ”

"What are you doing?" Li Linqi asked rhetorically.

"I want to drink your wine sooner."

"It's still early, what's the hurry?"

"It's not early, I'm also anxious to have a wedding with you." Li Hualong said with a smile.

"Dad, are you looking forward to me getting married?" Li Linqi said angrily.

"Haochuan is good, worthy of my daughter." Li Hualong said with a smile.

Soon after Li Shengrui got married, Li Haochuan asked Li Linqi to watch a movie, and the two began to officially date.

After dating for nearly half a year, Li Haochuan and Li Linqi had a relationship, Li Linqi didn't want to get pregnant unmarried, except for the first time, she didn't make any special requests, and every time after that, she would ask Li Haochuan to wear a "raincoat".

Li Haochuan and Li Linqi planned to get married in 1981, but they have not yet agreed on the specific time of marriage.

After dinner, Li Shenghua took out the manuscript paper designed by Li Hualong.

"Third uncle, I found that there are three overlapping English letters 'A', 'T', 'V' hidden in this station logo." Li Shenghua said with a little surprise.

"Let me see." Li Jiahui took the manuscript paper, "It seems to be." ”

"Sheng Hua, your observation is very careful." Li Hualong smiled.

"Third uncle, why are you so talented?!" Li Shenghua smiled and patted Li Hualong's ass, "I don't even know what words to use to praise you......"

"Stop, stop." Li Hualong interrupted with a smile, "Don't pat my ass, coax Jiahui more in the future." ”

"My wife is used to coax, she is used to hurt." Li Shenghua said with a smile.

"When did you hurt me?" Li Jiahui asked with a smile.

"If you say that, you've wronged me......"

Li Shenghua and Li Jiahui stayed at Li Hualong's house until half past seven, and then they took the car home. (To be continued.) )
