After the New Year, Li Zetian plans to go to Hong Kong to build a Walkman factory.
At the same time, I discussed with my parents to open a newspaper in Hong Kong.
With Li Zetian's status today, it is naturally very easy to set up a newspaper in Hong Kong.
He said, "Dad, do you remember when I told you about going to Hong Kong to set up a newspaper?"
Li Chengzhi nodded and said, "Remember, I will go to Hong Kong with you this time."
"Dad, it's easy to start a newspaper office, but it's not easy to develop it! You will definitely stay in Hong Kong for a long time. I think, if that's the case, why don't the whole family move to Hong Kong? And the situation in mainland China is gradually becoming more and more Stable. If we live in Hong Kong, it will be much more convenient to return to the mainland to visit relatives in the future, so we do not have to detour from Taiwan to Hong Kong and then go to the mainland from Hong Kong. In 1898, Hong Kong was leased to the United Kingdom for a period of 99 years, until 1997. Full, there are still 21 years from now. Let’s not talk about patriotism and other falsehoods, just from a businessman’s point of view, I think the economy of mainland China will take off rapidly, if we can press the label of 'patriotic overseas Chinese', It will definitely be of great benefit to us in opening up the Chinese market! The newspaper office is the mouthpiece and can influence public opinion, so it is bound to be relied upon by the Chinese side!”
For business development, Li Zetian had to choose to join the US citizenship.
China will not recognize the dual nationality of China and the United States, so he can only be an overseas Chinese in the end.
Li Zetian now has dual citizenships of the British Hong Kong Dependent Territory and the United States, and Li Zetian's parents are both British Hong Kong Dependent Territory citizens. Once Hong Kong is returned in 1997, the two will automatically become Chinese nationals.
Li Chengzhi made a decision without thinking for too long. In fact, there is nothing in Taiwan that is worthy of his nostalgia. His roots are on the mainland, his relatives are all on the mainland, and he is thinking about going back all the time! ! !
"Well, our family is going to Hong Kong!!!" Li Chengzhi nodded heavily and agreed.
Li Zetian's mother held her father's hand. Although she did not speak, there was an encouraging smile on her face!
So, Li Zetian's family made the decision to go to Hong Kong on the same day!
Next, is to pack up and prepare to move. At the same time, make arrangements for the Times Literature Publishing House. Li Chengzhi promoted one of his capable officers to the head of Taiwan Times Literature Publishing House. It's time for Times Literature Publishing House to expand, and Hong Kong is undoubtedly Li Chengzhi's goal. Newspapers and publishing houses go hand in hand to build a publishing empire belonging to the Li family!
After three days of preparations, on February 3, the group flew to Hong Kong, and a large amount of luggage was directly transported to Hong Kong through a special consignment company, and then sent to the villa in Hong Kong.
Li Zetian had already instructed the employees in Hong Kong to help him buy a villa on Barker Road, buy it in the name of Sunbird Company, and then transfer it to his personal name. Sunbird is still 100% controlled by Li Zetian, so there is no problem, at most it is just paying tax.
Barker Road, located on the top of the mountain, is one of the most expensive areas in Hong Kong. There are security guards at the intersection, and former political and economic celebrities and rich people live together, including the residence of the Chief Secretary for Administration, the residence of the US Consul General in Hong Kong, and the residence of the Commander of the People's Liberation Army Garrison in Hong Kong. Living here, the level of privacy and security is very high, and a random door can become a headline in the newspaper.
Due to the impact of the oil crisis in 1974, Hong Kong's economy fell sharply, and Hong Kong's real estate plummeted by more than 40%. The employees of Sunbird Company only spent 4.5 million Hong Kong dollars to help Li Zetian buy the mansion at 22 Barker Road. , not even $1 million. Li Zetian was very surprised when he heard the news at first, because he had read a news in his previous life, the mansion at 22 Barker Road was formerly the official residence of the Belgian consulate, with an invincible 270-degree view of Victoria Harbour. The transaction set a record for the most expensive luxury house per square meter in Hong Kong!
In this regard, Li Zetian can only say that he has made a lot of money buying any villa in Hong Kong now!
…
…
At about two o'clock in the next day, the flight of Li Zetian and his party arrived in Hong Kong, and the employees of Sunbird Company had come to the airport to pick up the plane.
An hour later, the crowd came to 22 Barker Road.
An inch of land in Hong Kong is expensive, and No. 22 Barker Road is not large. It is a three-storey detached house with a total area of about 1,099 square meters.
Xiao Zhixuan sighed: "When I lived in Tongzilou in Kowloon before, I never thought that we would live in the most expensive mansion in Hong Kong! Breathing the fresh air on the mountain, blowing the wind and looking at the beautiful Victoria Harbour, what a great experience. blissful and comfortable…”
Li Zetian smiled slightly, looking at his mother's happy and emotional appearance, it was the first time that he felt that it was good to be rich!
"Mom, I've already hired two Filipino maids for the family. They should be here soon! From now on, you can just sit back and enjoy yourself, and leave the work to the maids!"
"What kind of maid is hired, and the Filipino maid is really a waste of money!"
"Well, the house is so big, it takes half a day just to clean up! If you hire two servants, you can relax a little! Besides, your son looks like a man who is short of money! On the other hand, we Hiring a servant just solves other people's employment problems, which is great..." Li Zetian said with a smile.
Xiao Zhixuan shook her head and smiled: "You have many reasons!!!"
…
That night, two maids in their thirties came to the house. The Filipino maids deserved to be called "the most professional nanny in the world". , and he said "Master", "Mother" or something when he opened his mouth. Oh, I'm going, this Nima makes people feel a little high!
"Master, this is your juice." A maid with short hair and dark skin brought a glass of grape juice.
"OK, thanks."
Li Zetian took the grape juice and said.
"Master, this is what I should do, you don't need to say thank you!"
"OK, all right!"
Li Zetian nodded and said to himself secretly, get used to it, get used to it...
As soon as the maid left, Li Zetian came to the balcony with red grape juice and chatted with Li Chengzhi.
"Dad, have you figured out how to set up a newspaper?" he asked.
Li Chengzhi shook his head: "Not yet."
"I suggest buying the newspaper you used to work for directly!"
Li Zetian paused for a while and couldn't help but smile, "Dad, you don't want to see, what will the faces of those who used to bully you and look down on you look like when they find out that you are the new owner of the newspaper?"
Li Chengzhi suffered a stomach full of useless anger in this newspaper, and when he heard Li Zetian's words, he was immediately moved.
"Okay, just do as you said, buy this newspaper!"
Li Zetian nodded with a smile, then stood up and said, "Well, then I'll call now and ask someone to buy this newspaper. After the acquisition is completed, it will be transferred to your name!" Near 1997, the Hong Kong newspaper will Faced with the choice of a team, one side supports China and the other side supports the United Kingdom. Because Li Zetian's identity is too sensitive, it is not suitable, but his father Li Chengzhi is fine.
"Um… "
"Oh, by the way, Dad, what is the name of this newspaper?" Li Zetian suddenly turned around and asked.
""Hong Kong Daily"!"
"Okay, I know!"
After a while, Li Zetian came out of the room and smiled at Li Chengzhi: "It's done! I entrusted Chase Bank to help us acquire Hong Kong Daily, and within a week, Hong Kong Daily will belong to us!!! "
Li Chengzhi nodded and felt a burst of emotion in his heart. In just two years, his son has become a big man with hands and eyes, and he can ask Chase Bank to help him with just a phone call...
