Chapter 1,363 Visiting the Li Family
…
"What's going on?" After the gambling game ended, Liu Dong and He Chaoqiong sat down in the casino's office.
"The Chen family in the United States is also a long-established gambling king family. They are eager to get a hand in the huge profits of Macau's gambling industry."
"Are we weak, and we are the only ones who are unlucky among the six casinos?"
"Haha, although there is part of the reason, it is not all! Now, in the entire Macau gambling industry, our emperor has the most gamblers, even surpassing the old Lisboa. The huge profits are naturally eye-catching! Such a big cake
Who wouldn’t want to come up and take a bite!”
"Yes!" Liu Dong nodded, "But I won't stay in Macau for too long. If these Chen family members keep coming here to cause trouble, I'm afraid it will make us very sad!"
"This is indeed a problem! However, I think after what happened today, the Chen family will not come easily again! After all, losing 100 million US dollars every time is not very pleasant. Moreover, you, the world's richest man, are not everyone.
I want to offend you!" He Chaoqiong looked at the young man sitting opposite him with admiration and said.
Born into a wealthy family and with superior conditions, she rarely convinced others in her life, but she truly admired and even awed Liu Dong from the bottom of her heart.
Not everyone has the ability to start from scratch and become the richest man in the world within five years.
"So my title as the richest man in the world is quite useful!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"Of course!" After a pause, He Chaoqiong continued to smile, "But Liu Dong, we are good friends. When you, the richest man in the world, get rich, don't forget to support the 'little girl' too. If you can't get anything from it, just follow me.
It would also be nice for you to have some soup later!”
"Sister He, you're so polite! With your abilities and connections, it's not easy to make money!"
"Of course it's easy to make money, but if you want to make a lot of money and have a long-term future, it's not that simple!"
Faced with He Chaoqiong's gleaming eyes, Liu Dong pondered briefly and then said bluntly: "Since Sister He has said this, it would be unreasonable if I didn't say anything! However, I think since Sister He said this today, she should have it in her heart
Do you have some ideas?"
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you! Yes, I am very interested in the real estate industry! But you also know that the mainland is different from Hong Kong and Macao. I have no opportunities there, and the real estate industry is a complicated industry. So, I hope
You can help me!"
"What does Sister He need? Money? Or connections?"
"Of course it's a connection. I've taken a fancy to a piece of land in Pengcheng and want to develop it into a high-end residential area. However, the location of this piece of land is good and there are many competitors. It's okay to spend more money, but I'm afraid of others.
People are operating behind the scenes!"
"Haha, Sister He is worrying too much! Although human relationships are also practiced in the Mainland, they are not as dark as you think. Well, leave this matter to me and I will let you know!"
"Then I really thank you! Also, I heard that Huayang Group is now involved in the development of Yanjing New City. With such a big cake, shouldn't you, a friend, leave some soup for me, a little girl?
'ah?"
Hearing this, Liu Dong suddenly understood, "Sister He, Pengcheng's project is just the 'starter'. The 'main meal' you ordered is Yanjing New Town, right?"
"Haha, I won't ignore a project with such huge potential, a satellite city in the capital of a country, the core of the future IT industry," He Chaoqiong did not deny it!
Faced with such a straightforward answer, Liu Dong did not immediately express his position.
Liu Dong knew how tempting the Yanjing New City project was. When he won the quarter of the land, he didn't think he could develop it all. After all, the saying "shooting the first bird will kill the first bird" is very popular.
This is applicable in most cases. Therefore, when he was in France, he gave part of his interests to Martin Bouygues for the shares of Abbey National Bank.
In order to appease his prospective father-in-law, he gave some of the benefits to Trump Sr.
As for friends like Zhou Bin, Li Yuncong and Lu Mingyuan, let alone them!
Therefore, adding He Chaoqiong is not too much! Moreover, the more people join this interest group, the greater its ability to resist risks will naturally be.
For Liu Dong, there is endless money to be made. As long as he can ensure the smooth construction of the Old Summer Palace Museum and he can occupy the bulk of the project and get the maximum benefit, it is enough!
After thinking about this clearly, Liu Dong nodded, "Okay, since Sister He has spoken, it would be a bit unreasonable for me to disagree! ... I agree!"
"Liu Dong, it's true that I didn't make friends with you in vain!" In his excitement, He Chaoqiong also forgot about a woman's reserve.
"Then should we have a drink?"
"certainly!"
…
After chatting with He Chaoqiong for a while at the Emperor Casino in the evening, Liu Dong left.
Later, Liu Dong participated in the inauguration ceremony of the Twin Towers of the 'Chinese Center'. Because the interior had not been decorated yet, the ceremony was very simple. The real Daqing will have to wait until a year later, when the entire building is decorated! So
, this time we did not invite any celebrities, basically the internal staff of Shangyuan Engineering Group, which was responsible for the construction of the building, held a brief celebration.
After spending a few days busy with things in the company, Liu Dong was invited to be a guest in a mansion in Repulse Bay.
"Uncle Li, excuse me!"
"If your time is convenient, I would very much like you to come and disturb me, this old man, every day!" Li Jiacheng said with a smile, "Please sit down!"
"Thanks!"
After Liu Dong and Li Jiasan and his son sat down, the Filipino maid next to them quickly brought over the prepared tea and cakes.
"Uncle Li looks good!"
"It's all thanks to your original elixir, otherwise I, a man buried in dirt, wouldn't be in good health now!" After a pause, Li Jiacheng glanced at Liu Dong and continued, "I'm an old man and there's nothing wrong with me.
It's easy to say, Xiaodong, you are now the richest man in the world, so your feeling should be different than before, right?"
"Is it different? I used to be freer and could go wherever I wanted. Now, I don't dare to go out without bodyguards or makeup!" Liu Dong said with a wry smile.
These days, he originally wanted to go shopping in the antique market in Hong Kong, but he thought that he would be surrounded by a group of reporters as soon as he went out. He couldn't bear it, so he had to go back. He stayed at home for several days in a row. This kind of lack of freedom
Liu Dong, who is accustomed to the freedom of life and prefers to experience the fun of life and an unrestrained lifestyle, is troubled.
"Haha! Just wait until you get used to it! ... After enjoying the benefits brought by wealth, you will naturally have to pay a certain price for freedom! No one can avoid it!"
"That's what Uncle Li said!"
After a few simple polite words, both parties realized that they wanted to get down to business. As a junior, Liu Dong did not pretend to be the world's richest man. After simply organizing his words, he said directly: "Uncle Li, I heard Ze Ze a few days ago.
After Brother Kai’s proposal, I gave it serious consideration! The future of 3G wireless networks is indeed worth looking forward to, so Hanhua Group is willing to invest heavily in this industry and form an alliance with Hutchison Telecom for joint development!”
"How much capital is Hanhua prepared to invest?" Li Jiacheng said with eyes shining.
"15 billion U.S. dollars, and no less than 2 billion U.S. dollars will be invested every year in the future!" Liu Dongxin said.
If only the shares of Microsoft and Hasbro in the hands of Hanhua Holdings would not be able to make up the investment of 15 billion U.S. dollars, Liu Dong also holds the Nazi gold hidden in the ancient city of Herakpus in Egypt, as well as the ancient
The treasures of the Egyptian sacrificial city. In addition to the gold works of art that cannot be cashed in, the gold of the two treasures together is no less than two hundred tons.
At the current gold price, 200 tons of gold is enough to realize US$5 billion! Of course, some may be lost during the laundering process, but it is not enough to affect the overall situation.
"15 billion US dollars? 2 billion US dollars of annual investment? Hanhua Group is really rich!" Li Jiacheng said with a hint of sigh.
"Uncle, you're welcome. Hutchison's investment does not require Han Huashao at all!"
"With such a large amount of funds, I guess Hanhua Telecom's future will not be limited to one European country, right?" Li Zegu, who had been silent, asked.
"That's right! We at Hanhua Telecom are preparing to enter the telecommunications markets of Britain, France and Germany at the same time. Of course, considering the cooperation with Hutchison Telecom, Italy and Austria, we will not give up, but we will have to wait for a while!"
Liu Dong's words moved both the Li family and his son. They thought that Liu Dong had invested so much from the beginning, and his ambition was certainly not small, but they didn't expect that the other party would be so bold. He immediately aimed at the most important thing in Europe.
of the three major markets.
You know, the 3G users in the top three European countries, Britain, France and Germany, already account for almost half of the European market!
"The courage of Hanhua Telecom is admirable, but if we want to operate the three major markets of Britain, France and Germany, I am afraid that the investment of 15 billion US dollars is still insufficient, and the annual investment of 2 billion US dollars is also a bit low!" Li Jiacheng said slowly
.
"Yes, Liu Dong! If Hanhua Telecom puts its main market in Germany and takes into account Austria and Italy, with your money and our cooperation to share hardware investment, Hanhua Telecom will definitely be able to develop faster.
It's also more stable!" Li Zekai said in a slightly urgent tone.
"I know!...I know that if I give up some things, Hanhua Telecom may develop better in the future and achieve profitability faster. But what I need is not profit, but the market and the influence of the 3G telecommunications industry.
, even leadership! Therefore, even if I am burdened with heavy foreign debt, I am not willing to fall behind telecom giants such as Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone, and Verizon!"
