Chapter 296: Real Estate Hegemony and Monopoly

On the first day after the 100-day banquet, Li Shengke, Li Shenglong, and Li Shengyun, accompanied by bodyguards, went to visit the campus of the University of Hong Kong.

After a while at the University of Hong Kong, Li Shengke asked with a smile: "Sheng Yun, what do you think of this campus?" ”

"The campus is too small, but the school building is beautiful." Li Shengyun smiled.

"The cost of land in Hong Kong is very high, and it is impossible for the University of Hong Kong to occupy a large campus like the universities in the United States and the mainland." Li Shengke said with a smile, "Sheng Long, Stanford University's campus area ranks first among all universities in the United States. ”

"It should be, I didn't pay much attention to this information!" Li Shenglong smiled and said, "Sheng Yun, you should consider studying in Hong Kong for two years, and then transfer to a prestigious university in the United States for two years." ”

"Is that okay?" Li Shengyun said curiously.

"I don't know if there is an international student exchange program between the University of Hong Kong and American universities, but as long as you have the money, you can do it."

"I think it's good here, and I want to stay at the University of Hong Kong for four years." Li Shengyun pointed to the teaching building not far away and asked, "That teaching building is called Yisong Building, and it is related to grandpa?" ”

"That's right, this teaching building was donated by the Li Yisong Father and Son Foundation, and grandpa, my father, as well as my uncle and fourth uncle all donated money." Li Shengke replied.

After visiting the campus of the University of Hong Kong, when the three of them were about to leave, Li Shengke asked, "Shall we go home for lunch, or find a hotel for lunch?" ”

Li Shenglong and Li Shengyun glanced at each other, and Li Shengyun said, "You guys have an idea." ”

Li Shenglong smiled and said: "Let's go home, there are many people in the family, so it's more lively." ”

Li Shengke asked with a smile: "Shenglong, do you like a lot of people and be lively?" ”

"I like it." Li Shenglong smiled, "When I was young, I was the only child at home, and I felt a little lonely. ”

"I don't think you're an introvert!" Li Shengyun said.

"It's not an introvert, but it's not an outward thought either." Li Shenglong said with a smile.

Two days later in the afternoon. Cheng Yueru, Li Shenglong, and Li Huaxi left Hong Kong by plane and returned to the United States, where Li Hualong personally went to the airport to see them off.

On the way to the airport by car, Li Hualong was reluctant to say: "I really want you to stay in Hong Kong for more time." ”

"I continue to live in Hong Kong. They're not happy. Cheng Yueru said with a smile, during her time in Hong Kong, most of the nights, Li Hualong came to spend the night with her.

Cheng Yueru enjoyed the joy of rain for many days, and she was a little happy. But there were a lot going on at Napa Vineyards, and with the start of school soon on the way, she chose to leave Hong Kong.

Li Hualong smiled awkwardly, gently kneaded Cheng Yueru's softness, and said apologetically: "I have wronged you...... Before the Chinese New Year, I will definitely go to the United States, and when the Chinese New Year comes, you will come to Hong Kong to live for a while. ”

"We'll talk about it then." Cheng Yueru smiled.

Li Hualong turned to Li Shenglong and said, "Shenglong, when you have winter vacation, come to Hong Kong for a vacation." ”

"Okay!" Li Shenglong replied briskly.

"Yueru. Sheng Long not only looks like me, but also has a personality that looks like me. Li Hualong said happily.

"What kind of character?" Cheng Yueru asked with a smile.

"Straightforward!" Li Hualong smiled, looked at Li Shenglong a few times, and sighed: "Dad owes you and your mother too much......"

"Dad, don't say that." Li Shenglong interrupted, "Mom took good care of me, the past is over, we can't always think about the past, we should think about looking forward." ”

"That's right!" Li Hualong nodded with relief, "After returning to school." Study well......"

Li Hualong chattered a few words, smiled, and continued: "Sheng Long, I'll talk to you about these things. Wouldn't you like to hear it? ”

"No, I think Dad is right." Li Shenglong smiled.

"Sheng Long has never worried me about learning since I was a child." Cheng Yueru said with a smile on her face, with a relieved expression on her face.

"Mom, I don't think so. When I was in elementary school, I was very unsociable, and you didn't worry about it. Li Shenglong said with a smile.

Recalling the past, Cheng Yueru sighed with a smile: "Time flies so fast, it is normal for you to be unsociable when you were a child, many children just go to school and are reluctant to go to school." ”

"Sheng Long, how are you doing with your classmates now?" Li Hualong asked with a smile.

"It's good, there are a few classmates who have a particularly good relationship."

Between small talk, the car in which Li Hualong and others were riding drove to the airport.

"Aaron, you are a public figure in Hong Kong, so don't send us in." Cheng Yueru said.

Li Hualong hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let the bodyguards help you with your luggage." ”

Li Hualong got out of the car and hugged Li Shenglong and Cheng Yueru respectively.

After saying goodbye, Li Hualong drove back to Hong Kong Island and came to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, where he got along with Li Huawen and Li Huahu, and had dinner together at the hotel tonight.

Li Hualong went to the hotel first, drinking tea and reading the newspaper at the same time, he felt quite comfortable.

After more than 20 minutes, Li Huawen and Li Huahu came together.

After saying hello, Li Huahu asked with a smile, "Third brother, you have already come over." ”

"It didn't take long for me to be alone, and it felt good to be alone for a while." Li Hualong smiled, picked up the teapot, and poured two cups of tea for the two.

"You have so many families, it's not good to make a lot of noise every day, you also need to be quiet and quiet!" Li Huawen said with a smile, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and continued, "A while ago, I saw an article in the newspaper that wrote about you, calling you 'Li Bancheng', do you know? ”

"I know about it." Li Hualong said lightly, "What the media is talking nonsense is too exaggerated, even if you and Abba, as well as Ah Hu's real estate company, our Quartet will only have half of the share." ”

Li Huahu said: "I don't think the media is talking nonsense, I estimate that in the next three years, the residential units developed by your company will account for more than half of the share of new homes." ”

"Even so, don't tell anyone else, we just need to know for ourselves." Li Hualong said with a smile, "If the newspaper reports this article in a big way, then in the future, some people will definitely say that we are engaged in real estate hegemony." ”

"Real estate supremacy?" Li Huawen was stunned and asked with a smile, "Are you saying that we are engaged in real estate monopoly?" ”

"yes. If in the future, more than half of the buildings in Hong Kong are developed by our Li family, and the market situation is good, we can easily create a phenomenon of skyrocketing housing prices. Let buyers shell out more money to buy a house...... Hehe, big brother, even if we can do this, we can't do it. We don't make money without conscience. ”

"Money for a bad conscience?" Li Huawen smiled, "How can you make money without having a good conscience?" Let's just talk about now, you are optimistic that house prices will rise in the next few years, and you will definitely be reluctant to sell your house at a low price. The selling price is set high, isn't there a suspicion of market coaxing? ”

"yes." Li Hualong fell into deep thought, and after taking a few sips of tea, he said, "Forget it now, in the future, the houses developed by our companies will be sold at a clear price, and the price will not rise or fall, if you are buying a house for the first time." You can give a discount, you already have a house at home, and if you invest in buying a house, you won't give a discount. ”

"The price does not rise or fall, the price is clearly marked, is this method feasible?" Li Huawen looked at Li Hualong with a curious expression, "When the market is good, buyers buy the former, and when the market is bad, put it in their hands." It can't be sold for a long time, and this method is too inflexible. I don't think it's feasible. ”

"I'm just saying. I don't have the idea of trying it for the time being, and in another ten years, ten years later. I get a new real estate to use this method to sell, and when the market is not good, then I don't buy it, and use it directly for rent. ”

"Speaking of rental, I think of the Orchard mall that you invested in in Singapore, and I heard that it is very popular. The tenants are doing very well in business. How much did you add to the rent? ”

"Most of the customers signed a two-year lease, signed a one-year tenant, and after almost a year's lease, they renewed the lease and the rent increased by 25 percent. Next month, I will go back to Singapore, and before that, I will inform the tenants about the rent increase, which is 30% for two-year tenants and 20% for one-year tenants. ”

"It's going up so much?" Li Huawen was slightly surprised, "Is it that when this project first started, the rent was very cheap?" ”

"I don't think it's cheap or expensive. You haven't seen it, and you can't imagine the popularity of it at all. Li Hualong smiled and said, "Big brother, do you want to go to Singapore together?" ”

"Is there a project in Singapore that is suitable for me to invest in?"

"Uh......" Li Hualong smiled and muttered for a moment, "I feel that Hong Kong has more opportunities to develop real estate." I don't have Carrefour and a hotel business, even if I monopolize the Hong Kong market, I can't become an international giant, and I hope to develop overseas. ”

"Lately, I've been yearning for things, and it's feeling a little incredible." Li Huawen sighed, smiled, and continued, "Third child, over the years, under your guidance, my company has continued to grow and develop, I really want to thank you, tonight, I must give you a few glasses." ”

"If you want to drink, don't make that excuse." Li Huawen joked, "You make money, mainly by yourself." ”

"It's not as good as an investment vision." Li Huawen drank a cup of tea, put down the teacup, stood up, and asked, "Who is going to Singapore with you?" ”

"Sheng Rui will go with me." Li Hualong said.

"Third brother, you want to cultivate Sheng Rui?!" Li Huahu said with a smile.

"He graduated from college and came out to work, of course I have to train him, he hopes that he can be independent as soon as possible, and when the other children grow up, then I can retire early." Li Hualong smiled.

"After retirement, you don't just ask about business?" Li Huawen asked.

"No, it won't. Working hours will definitely be reduced, but I will give some advice, hehe, I think I have a better vision than the average person! ”

The three brothers chatted for more than ten minutes, and Li Huahu shouted that he was a little hungry and was about to have dinner.

"You haven't eaten at noon?" Li Huawen said curiously, "It's not time to eat yet." ”

"I did a workout this afternoon." Li Huahu said with a smile.

Li Huawen glanced at Li Huahu a few times, and said with a smile: "It's exercise in bed, how many lovers do you maintain?" ”

"Play around." Li Huahu smiled faintly and said, "Big brother, don't tell me, after you took the Great Tonic Pill, you didn't go out to eat it secretly." ”

Li Huawen smiled noncommittally and sighed: "Hua Wu sent us the Great Tonic Pill, this is instigating us to make mistakes!" ”

"I think it's good to make this mistake." Li Huahu smiled and asked, "Do you have any safety measures?" ”

Li Huawen took two sips of tea and said, "Yes." I have Sheng Quan and Sheng Hua in my life, as well as Lin Yu's three children, which is enough. ”

Li Huawen said and smiled, and then said to Li Hualong: "Ah Long, have you thought about it, when your children grow up, what will the situation be like at home?" ”

"Big brother, you don't need to worry about it." Li Hualong smiled, "Ah Hu, you ask the waiter to come in and order, I'm also a little hungry." ”

After ordering the food and drinks, it was quickly served, and the three brothers chatted while eating.

Li Huahu took a bite of shark fin and asked with a smile: "Third brother, I feel that since you privatized Times Land, the business of Mandarin Oriental Hotel has been getting better and better, isn't that so?" ”

"Business is good this year." Li Hualong said lightly, "By the way, I haven't paid attention to the business of Galaxy Entertainment Company for a long time, how is the company's business recently?" ”

"It's not bad, the profit is stable and rising." Li Huahu replied, "Somehow, there have been several times recently, I really don't want to go to work, so I want to stay at home and rest." ”

"Ah Hu, even if the effect of the big tonic pill is very good, you can take it easy, overindulge, but you will die before you get old." Li Huawen quipped.

Li Huahu pointed to his cheek and asked with a smile: "Big brother, if you take a closer look, does this look like a premature old age?" ”

"I just said casually, you just take it easy." Li Huawen said with a smile.

"Speaking of the ...... before aging" Li Huahu laughed and looked at Li Hualong a few times, "Third brother, I heard that Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengqiao have become your women, is it true?" ”

Li Hualong ate a few bites of food and said lightly: "It's true, in the future, when you see them, you have to call your sister-in-law." ”

"I haven't dealt with them, and if they don't show up at your house, if you don't bring them out, I won't see them." Li Huahu smiled, "Just now, you said, let me call them sister-in-law, I guess they are pregnant...... Is that right? ”

"Yes, they're pregnant." Li Hualong said with a smile, two days ago, he knew the news that Shuanglin was pregnant, and after calculating the time, he found that it was actually two "head cannons", and they hit it once.

"You can do it!" Li Huahu was surprised, "Did you take any other medicine, otherwise, how could the woman next to you get pregnant so easily?" ”

"How many more children would you like?" Li Hualong asked rhetorically.

"This ......" Li Huahu didn't know how to answer for a while, before, he thought about this question, and he was a little conflicted in his heart, he wanted to have more children, and he was worried that his wife Wen Cuiping would be sad if he knew about it.

"Ah Hu, I suggest you don't move the idea of letting other women give you a baby." Li Hualong said lightly, "I think there are more lice and no itching, and there are many debts, and the women around me can give birth to a few children, and everything will ...... according to fate." )
