Hong Kong Island's wealthy era

Chapter 76 Good things come again and again
Monday, January 1th, there are only a few days left until New Year’s Eve.

In the morning, not long after Lei Liquan entered the office, Yuan Tianfan hurried to him to report that the Xiangjiang Metro Company officially announced that it would accept the bidding for the development rights of the original site of the General Post Office (Central Station).Interested bidders need to submit their bids before April 4.

When Lei Liquan heard the news, although he was well prepared, his heart could not calm down for a long time. This would be his planned plan to achieve a blockbuster success.

Lei Liquan was no longer interested in working in the office, but fell into long thoughts.This time around the bidding for the property on top of the subway station, I must not be careless and never give it up to others.

The media has been hyping recently that Central Station and Admiralty Station are like the two thighs of a chicken. Properties built on top of them can create the most profitable properties on the entire MTR line, which has made real estate developers very excited.

Lei Liquan was not only attracted by it, he was not only interested in the huge profits, but also in the reputation of defeating British capital.

In the afternoon of that day, Lei Liquan called the other three shareholders of his brother company respectively, and when he was about to invite him to discuss countermeasures, they all said that it was still early before April 4st, and it was the end of the year, and they were all busy. They would meet again after the Spring Festival. discuss.

Hearing this, Lei Liquan couldn't help but smile. It was true that he was too nervous and cared too much.

The bid documents have been prepared and the plans have been discussed countless times.In fact, there is nothing to discuss.

Lei Liquan decided to go home early for the New Year.

……

The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu.Thousands of households are always replacing old talismans with new peaches.

This year's Spring Festival, the Lei family finally has a new member. As for the addition, Lei Liquan still needs to work harder.

For Chinese people, only after New Year's Eve is the real beginning of the new year.

In the Chinese community, almost no one would meet to say hello to the New Year on New Year's Day.But after New Year's Eve, the greeting "Happy New Year" will always accompany you until the Lantern Festival, and in Hong Kong, as long as you get married, you must be sure to use "profit".

As the New Year's bell rang at midnight, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers came one after another.

With the sound of the first firecracker, it was like a bright shooting star streaking across the night sky, bringing joy and blessings for the New Year.

"Dad, happy New Year!" Lei Liquan and Li Minzhen raised their glasses at the same time to say hello to Lei Juehua.

"Haha, Happy New Year to Azhen and Ali. I'm very happy to see you two lovers finally getting married. I should say that this Spring Festival is the happiest Spring Festival for me."

After that, he gave each of them an "encouragement".

"Thank you dad. I wish dad always smiles."

"Another year has passed and I saw Ali getting married and starting a business. It's time for me to retire."

Lei Liquan saw Lei Juehua suddenly looking a little sentimental and said.

"Dad, you must be more happy, and you still want to take care of our careers and lives?"

"Okay, but when you get older, you just get a little sentimental sometimes." Lei Juehua couldn't help but feel that he was no longer as good as before. Whether it was his physical health or his once passionate career, he felt that he was unable to do what he wanted.

People overindulge when they are young, and they only realize it when they are old.Now that my son is able to take charge of his own business, he might as well retire early to support his old age.

"Dad, you are not old. Just relax and wait for Hengfu."

"Today I hope you can add another person to your family, then I will be really relieved."

Lei Liquan glanced at Li Zhenzhen and saw her smiling and nodding.

"Dad, don't worry, your wish will definitely come true this year!"

"Are you... pregnant?" Lei Juehua hesitated and asked.

"Well, yes, Dad." Li Zhenzhen nodded and said with a smile.

"How come you haven't heard about such a big thing?" Lei Juehua showed the happiest smile and strengthened his determination to retire.

"We only confirmed it yesterday and haven't had time to tell anyone yet," Lei Liquan explained.

"Okay, okay, okay." Lei Juehua said "ok" three times in a row, with a happy smile on his face.

Just two days before New Year's Eve, Li Yanzhen suddenly felt unwell, had nausea and vomiting, and showed symptoms of pregnancy.

Lei Liquan judged that she was pregnant and immediately sent her to the hospital for examination. The examination results confirmed that she was indeed pregnant. Lei Liquan was so happy that he raised his hands and waved.

When Lei Liquan was about to tell the world, Li Yanzhen refused. She said that the matter would be kept secret and she would have to approve whoever told it.

In order not to affect Li Zhenzhen's mood, Lei Liquan kept the matter in such a hazy state that no one except the couple knew about it.

After dinner, the family of three sat in the living room, sipping tea and snacks, preparing to welcome the new year.

"Ali, you are going to be a father soon and you will be an adult. My health is getting worse day by day. After careful consideration, I decided to retire early and leave Kowloon Construction to you." Lei Juehua said suddenly.

After Lei Juehua finished speaking, he felt as if he had let go of a heavy burden, and his body seemed to feel much more relaxed.Perhaps it was because of the ups and downs of Xiangjiang in the past few years that he was a little breathless.

"Dad, are you in good health? How can my son take over at this time?" Lei Liquan refused.

It is not that Lei Liquan is ruthless, but it is determined by inheritance. If the elders in the family are physically allowed to continue to take charge of the ancestral business, it is impossible for the younger generations to "seize power."Otherwise, outsiders will gossip.

Li Yanzhen also felt incredible and said, "Dad, after the baby in my belly is born, do you still have to help discipline it?"

After listening to Li Zhenzhen's words, Lei Liquan looked at Li Zhenzhen and smiled.

Lei Juehua also heard the contradiction and didn't care. He smiled and said.

"It is precisely because I have to enjoy family happiness that I decided to take good care of my body and bones. Ali, you have to shoulder this burden." Lei Juehua showed his majesty as a father.

Lei Liquan saw his father's determination, thought for a while and said: "Dad, the main reason is that the Lei family has never been divided. Although you and the second uncle each manage their own share, they are still shared by both families. I'm afraid that if I am young, what if I and my uncle are separated?" The second uncle has different ideas, which can easily cause conflicts, and it would be inappropriate to hurt the feelings of Lei's family."

Lei Juehua looked at his son and suddenly felt that his son had matured a lot when dealing with things, so he asked, "What do you think?"

Seeing that her husband was seeking benefits from her father, Li Zhenzhen took the initiative to pour tea for Lei Juehua, which made her father happy, but that was not half the battle.

Lei Liquan glanced at Li Yanzhen and said: "I suggest that the Lei family split up and each start their own business. And I want shares in Kowloon Bus and Kowloon Construction to give to my second uncle."

Lei Liquan's proposal was too shocking for Lei Juehua.After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Kowloon Jianye is the leader.

Lei Juehua looked at Lei Liquan in surprise and said, "What's your reason?"

When your son is older and you are planning to pass on the throne, you must respect his opinions.

Lei Liquan remembered that in his previous life, Kowloon Construction and Kowloon Bus, the Lei family also failed to hold on.The power of thunder must be maintained in this life.

"Dad, don't you think the bus's profits are very stable? No matter when Xiangjiang has been in business, the bus has never suffered a loss." Lei Liquan looked at his father and replied softly.

Lei Juehua did not answer Lei Liquan's question and fell into deep thought.After a long time, Lei Juehua said slowly: "This Spring Festival, I will talk to your second uncle."

Lei Juehua suddenly felt that his children and grandchildren would have their own blessings. Since he decided to retire, he must retire completely.

It's just that he is a little reluctant to let go of the Jiulong Jianye he has worked hard for all his life.

"Thank you dad for your support!" After Lei Liquan said this, he held Li Zhenzhen in his arms and looked at the fireworks outside the window.

The fireworks were still blooming one after another, and Lei Liquan also rarely watched quietly. The fireworks in the sky and the faint light highlighted his smiling face.

……

On the first day of the new year, in the morning.

Lei Juekun's family came to the eldest brother's house in Deep Water Bay to pay New Year's greetings.

Lei Juehua also prepared a sumptuous meal, and the two brothers prepared to talk about their feelings.

Not long after entering the house, Lei Juekun heard that Azhen was pregnant with the blood of the Lei family, so he gave her a huge red envelope.

Lei Liquan felt that Lei Juekun was just a local leopard who only knew how to express happiness with money.But this was the uncle's wish, so Lei Liquan and his wife could only accept it happily and express their gratitude.

From the time Lei Juekun came in until lunch, Lei Juehua didn't talk to Lei Juekun about the family separation. He kept talking about the family affairs of his seventh aunt and eighth aunt.

Moreover, the brothers drank several drinks, and Lei Liquan was also responsible for pouring wine and keeping company.

Lei Liquan saw the two brothers drinking so happily, and decided to have two sons in the future.

After dinner, Lei Juehua took the men of the Lei family to the study room, ready to talk about business and the separation of the Lei family.

Including the two sons of Lei Liquan and Lei Juekun, Lei Liquan is responsible for adding tea and water to the two elders.

In fact, the Lei family's industry is relatively simple, with only two main assets, Kowloon Construction and its shares in Kowloon Bus.And their market caps are about the same.

Originally, Kowloon Bus was very prosperous before the 70s.

When Kowloon Bus was listed, the IPO price was HK$58. Due to over-subscription, the opening price reached HK$82.

Why do investors pursue Kowloon Bus stocks so much? The main reason is that Hong Kong has a population of several million. At that time, there was no subway construction, let alone private cars. Such huge travel demand meant endless business opportunities. Specifically, it fell to the bus company. With hundreds of millions of passengers, it can earn huge dividends every year.

This is also how Lei Liquan hopes to get the shares of Kowloon Bus after he decides to separate, so that he can be a major shareholder with peace of mind and enjoy the dividends.

However, this huge dividend also attracted the attention of British capital. If they failed to force a shareholding, they lobbied the Hong Kong government to set a maximum annual profit limit for Kowloon Bus.

The share price of Kowloon Bus plummeted, with a market value of less than [-] million.

"Akun, I'm ready to retire. Before officially retiring, let's divide the Lei family's property."

"Brother, I agree." Lei Juekun is also a heroic figure, and his answer is straightforward.

"Our Lei family only has two pieces of property, and the two pieces are of similar value. It just depends on who gets which piece."

"Brother has the final say on this matter."

Lei Juekun knew that his elder brother would never let him suffer, so he would fight if he didn't fight.

Speaking of this, Lei Juehua looked at Lei Liquan and said: "Akun, take the Kowloon Jianye. Now Ali also has a large business to manage. We will be allocated the Kowloon Bus, and we will be divided every year. Just the bonus.”

Lei Juekun couldn't believe it. He thought he would get the bus shares, but he didn't expect that his elder brother would give him the Kowloon Construction Industry that he had spent his whole life working on.

Although bus shares are good and you can enjoy dividends every year, there are too many restrictions. However, Jianye Company is different. It has a bright future, so of course I am willing.

"Brother, I agree."

Lei Liquan saw the joy on his second uncle's face, but his father's face looked gloomy.

"Select a day, after you and Ali have completed the formalities, the handover will be official."

Lei Liquan and Lei Juekun are both big winners, each getting what he needs.Only Lei Juehua was worried because Lei Liquan had his own career plan and hoped that his father would understand his painstaking efforts in the future.

"Akun, I know that you are very capable and have always wanted to be independent and create your own world. Brother, I wish you a bright future."

As the eldest brother, Lei Juehua knows this younger brother quite well.

"Thank you big brother for making it possible. You should also take care of your health. You will be a grandpa soon. Enjoy your family happiness."

"I could feel it in my body, so I decided to retire and hand over the company to Ali."

"Ali is still good, but I am ineffective. He still needs to practice by my side for a few years."

"Second brother, don't be too strict with A Qing and A Peng. There are some things that should be let go for them to practice." Lei Juehua now feels that Lei Liquan is a role model worth being proud of.

Then, Lei Juehua took a long breath and said: "Second brother, although our families are separated, there are not many Lei family members in Xiangjiang, and blood ties can never be separated. They cannot be separated by me. They must come and go frequently. .”

"Brother, don't worry about this. I'm from southern Fujian, and I value blood and family ties the most."

Then the two brothers chatted again about the development of construction industry in Kowloon and the development of real estate industry in Xiangjiang and the demand for construction.

After the two brothers chatted for a while, Lei Juekun said goodbye and went back. The two brothers seemed very close to each other.

Lei Juehua and Lei Liquan escorted them to the door. Looking at Lei Juekun's car going away, Lei Juehua couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

The end of a hero is like the disappearance of a star, and the bright past can only accompany him to eternal darkness.

……

But Yuli Zhenzhen's pregnancy is also a motivation for Lei Liquan. In the past, he was always worried about whether he would be able to do it after his rebirth.

Moreover, Mrs. Li was the happiest about Li Xianzhen's pregnancy. After hearing the news of Li Xianzhen's pregnancy, she immediately gave her daughter a brooch worth one million yuan.

After the New Year, Lei Liquan has entered a busy period again. Many relatives and friends, business partners and some personal connections have to visit one by one.

Some relationships will gradually become unfamiliar and distant if they don't move around frequently.

Now that we are in a shopping mall, we inevitably need to do these things, such as the fourth uncle of the Li family and Shen Bi of HSBC. Although foreigners celebrate foreign festivals, how can they let them go if they have the opportunity and reason.

So after being busy like this, the Lantern Festival was over before he knew it, and Lei Liquan gathered his mood and prepared to do something big in the new year.
