1977: The beginning of the blind date with the daughter of the king

Chapter 521: Asking you to negotiate, you talk about urban planning?
1980/ 12/ 30

There were only two days left until 1981, and on the morning of that day, a luxury yacht slowly arrived at the Outer Harbor Terminal.

At this moment, there was already a long convoy waiting around the dock.

Soon, dozens of people got off the boat, including Li Changhe's bodyguards and his financial and legal staff.

Although he came to negotiate, Li Changhe was very clear that the other party just wanted to re-propose the conditions.

"Boy, are you sure that Mr. He will agree to your receiving the shares?"

Seeing Li Changhe and the team behind him, He Houzhao came up and said speechlessly.

"It's mainly because I'm in a hurry. There are other things coming up, and I don't have time to waste here."

Li Changhe shook his head helplessly.

"It's New Year's Day soon, where are you going?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Governor's Mansion will hold a New Year's Day reception. You will definitely have an invitation by then. Are you going to go out at this time?"

When He Houzhao heard what Li Changhe said, he asked him curiously.

New Year's Day is coming soon. According to the nature of the Governor's Office, they will definitely send invitations to business tycoons in Hong Kong and Macau and hold a business reception.

After all, the British have always pursued the strategy of using the Chinese to control the Chinese, supporting a group of Chinese tycoons who then control the Chinese communities below.

This is also the special positioning of the wealthy in Hong Kong Island. Here, they are not only wealthy businessmen, but often have other identities and roles.

"I've got the invitation, but I can't go."

"Because I received another invitation."

"Whose? You can't even give face to the Governor?"

He Houzhao asked curiously at this moment.

"Here!"

Li Changhe and He Houzhao got into the car and talked casually.

"Who is Rigen?"

"Wait, Rihe?"

"Are you talking about the incoming president of the United States?"

He Houzhao looked at Li Changhe in shock at this moment.

At this moment, he was expecting Li Changhe to shake his head, indicating that they just had the same name.

But unfortunately, what he saw was Li Changhe nodded slightly.

"Yes, it's the incoming president. I'm going to Los Angeles to attend his New Year's party."

"So there's no way I can get to the Governor's Mansion."

Li Changhe said calmly.

In fact, he didn't really want to attend the gathering at the Governor's House. His identity determined that he had no sense of recognition for that group of foreigners. Moreover, there would be many foreigners and Chinese business executives attending the gathering at the Governor's House.

These people will be active between the mainland and Hong Kong in the next few years, which is not a good thing for Li Changhe.

If I meet these people so often, it would be embarrassing if I ran into them in Beijing one day.

Coincidentally, Li Gen called him and invited him to attend the New Year party he was hosting, and Li Changhe agreed decisively.

Of course, he also knew the purpose of inviting him, which was MCA!

In about twenty days, that is, on January 81, 1, Li Gen would officially take office.

It is obvious that he wants to resolve the MCA bomb before taking office to avoid being attacked by the Donkey Party.

They have a lot of people in the Department of Justice who are constantly going after Leigh and Lou Wasserman.

As the MCA piracy case becomes more and more serious, many well-known singers have begun to express their dissatisfaction and believe that MCA should give them an explanation.

This explanation is not a problem, but the key now is to deal with MCA.

Otherwise, once the public is indoctrinated into supporting piracy, it will not be good for his re-election in four years.

The most taboo thing for politicians is to be accused of the stain of a certain industry, as that will cause them to lose the support of people in the entire industry.

The entertainment industry is one of the industries with great influence.

Therefore, the intention of inviting Li Changhe was actually to deal with the MCA bomb before the inauguration ceremony, at least to give the public an explanation.

"Vick, I never thought you would have a relationship with the President of the United States."

He Houzhao said to Li Changhe in shock at this moment.

The President of the United States can be said to be one of the most powerful people in the world today.

In comparison, the small Governor's House in Hong Kong Island is nothing compared to others.

"Okay, it was just a coincidence. The main reason was that my uncle had a good relationship with Mr. Li before."

"But now, the most important thing for us is to solve the problem at hand."

"We've arrived at the hotel."

For this meeting, Ho Hau-chiu prepared an entire floor for them, including a suite and two adjacent banquet halls.

When Li Changhe and the others walked up, they saw He Wanqi had already appeared here, and next to her stood a tall man.

This person was none other than the gambling king He who later became a household name.

In Hong Kong and Macau, where the average height is between 1.7 and 1.75 meters, Dr. He is very tall, almost the same height as Li Changhe.

Therefore, he is actually very conspicuous in the crowd.

Similarly, Li Changhe's figure was also extremely conspicuous among his group of people.

The moment their eyes met, they confirmed each other's identity.

"Hello, Mr. He."

"Hello, Vic."

Li Changhe could address Dr. He with some respect, but Dr. He could not ask Li Changhe to guarantee his childbearing.

Xiao Baosheng was just a nickname and he definitely couldn't call him that in formal occasions, so he called Li Changhe by his English name.

"I think, let's go in first!"

He Houzhao on the side said with a smile at this time.

The group entered the banquet hall. There were not many people in the banquet hall at the moment.

"Vick, are you bringing so many people to attend my Hongmen Banquet?"

Dr. He’s name contains the word “Hong” (Hong), and at this moment he spoke to Li Changhe in both a joke and a mockery.

Li Changhe shook his head: "Mr. He, you're overthinking it. I brought them here only because I was in a hurry."

"Mr. He, how about we talk about this in private, without bringing anyone else. If you have any requests, just tell me."

"Whether it succeeds or not, let's not hurt each other's feelings, so as not to make them worry."

Li Changhe spoke decisively to Dr. He at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Dr. He looked at Li Changhe in surprise.

"Okay, let's talk about it!"

Afterwards, He Houzhao arranged a quiet room for them, and then Li Changhe and Dr. He walked in.

Outside, He Houzhao and He Wanqi looked at each other, and then He Wanqi asked curiously: "Mr. He, do you think they can reach an agreement?"

"I don't think it's a big problem. Vic was very confident on the way here."

"He brought his team here this time just to get this done. After all, he has to attend a private banquet hosted by the new US president."

"He's pressed for time, and that's not exaggerating."

He Houzhao said to He Wanqi calmly at this moment.

After hearing this, He Wanqi's expression was indeed slightly moved.

"He went to attend the private banquet of the new US president?"

"This" He Wanqi was also extremely moved at this moment. Even though she is now worth over 100 million yuan and is also a top socialite in Hong Kong Island.

But outside Hong Kong, her identity is worthless.

But when she arrived in the United States, she was at most just a rich lady. In Las Vegas, she might have some value and could talk to the general managers of those casinos in Las Vegas.

But above that, she was nothing at all.

And now her partner, Li Changhe is actually going to attend a private banquet hosted by the new US president?
What level is this?
At this moment, He Wanqi was a little dazed.

She always thought that she and Li Changhe were actually working together on an equal footing, with the levels of both sides being similar.

But now she suddenly realized that in essence, there was no equality between the two of them.

The reason for the cooperation is simply because Hong Kong and Macao provide them with a platform for contact.

If we ignore this region, perhaps there would be no intersection between the two people.

The two of them waited like this, and after about twenty minutes, they saw Li Changhe and Dr. He walking out with smiles on their faces.

"Catherine, arrange for someone to sign the contract."

After coming out, Li Changhe smiled and gave instructions to Catherine.

"Okay, boss."

The person who brought the materials immediately took out the prepared documents, and on the other side, Dr. He also called his subordinates over with a phone call.

For him, it was just a signature on a legal document.

Soon, with the confirmation of all shareholders, Ye Deli's shares were transferred to Li Changhe's company registered overseas, and from that moment on, Li Changhe became the new shareholder of STDM.

After becoming a shareholder, people like Ye Han no longer need the consent of other shareholders to transfer shares, and can transfer shares directly internally.

Just buy it directly when the time comes.

"Mr. He, it's a pleasure to work with you."

"Ayang, it's a pleasure working with you. How about we have a banquet tonight to celebrate our cooperation?"

After the agreement was completed, the two men shook hands, and then Dr. He smiled and said.

"It's too late today. Let's wait a few days, after the Spring Festival. I think we can hold a banquet and discuss the next steps together."

"I have a flight tonight and need to rush to Los Angeles to attend a private dinner with the president, so I am really pressed for time."

"The reason I brought these people here is to burn my boats. No matter what, I have to negotiate a cooperation agreement with you, Mr. He."

Li Changhe then explained further to Dr. He.

"With the President?"

"Ayang, you really make me look at you in a new light!"

Dr. He was equally shocked when he heard Li Changhe's explanation.

However, he was a shrewd man and did not show any particular shock.

"Since the flight is tonight, let's have lunch at noon. I'll have someone arrange it."

"It will take time for them to go through the formalities in Macau Island anyway. How about you return to Hong Kong Island in the afternoon after lunch?"

Dr. He then made another suggestion.

"Well, thank you for your help then!"

Having refused once, he certainly couldn't refuse a second time, so Li Changhe decisively agreed.

"Don't be so polite. Your uncle and I are old acquaintances."

"Then let Wanqi take you there at noon. I'll go back and make the arrangements."

"Hou Zhao should come as well."

Dr. He smiled and patted Li Changhe on the shoulder, then turned around and left in a cool manner.

After Dr. He left, He Houzhao and He Wanqi both looked at Li Changhe curiously.

"Vic, you've already talked to Dr. He so quickly?"

"What kind of deal did you make with my ninth brother? Why was it reached so easily?"

Ho Hau-chiu and Ho Wan-ki asked in quick succession.

Li Changhe knew they would definitely ask, so he didn't hide it.

"It's actually very simple. He just asked me, why do we have to take over STDM?"

“And I just told him my plan after I took over STDM.”

"Then, we reached an agreement."

"It's that simple?"

He Wanqi asked in disbelief at this moment.

"What else? I've said before, there is actually no conflict of interest between Mr. He and I."

"Of course, he will lose some of his profits from STDM, but he will make up for it in other aspects."

"Well, I told you in advance, so you can understand it."

“I had originally planned to tell everyone about it at the shareholders’ meeting.”

"Catherine, bring me the map of Australia Island I prepared."

Li Changhe said to Catherine, and Catherine then took out the prepared map of Australia Island and spread it out.

“In fact, I just told Dr. Ho that I would use STDM to expand, for example, to build a resort on Taipa Island.”

"In addition, I will ask Ye Deli to organize an F1 event here, as well as cycling events, sailing events, etc."

"In short, next, I will submit a new charity project proposal to the Governor's Office of Macau Island, mainly based on the charity funds of STDM, including holding various sports events and entertainment activities, such as concerts, etc."

"During this period, the residential, hotel, consumer and other industries planned nearby will be where all shareholders will earn their profits."

"The charity fund of STDM will transform Macau Island into the entertainment city of Asia, and the shareholders will get the first benefit, which is to take over the income from all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation of these people."

"I think this part of the profit is definitely greater than the loss of STDM."

"Mr. Ho owns Shun Tak Properties, which has always wanted to enter the real estate industry in Hong Kong Island, but has achieved little success in recent years."

"If we develop the Ao Island, then Shun Tak Real Estate, as a local tenant here, will be able to see the benefits."

“That’s what we talked about.”

Li Changhe pointed at the map and said to the two people with a smile.

At this moment, both Ho Hau-chiu and Ho Wan-ki were stunned. My goodness, are you negotiating a business deal?

You are here to do urban planning for someone.

"So you used your urban planning for Macao Island to convince Dr. He?"

He Houzhao was speechless at this moment.

"Of course, there is more to it than that. Another very important point is that Mr Ho continues to serve as the chairman of STDM. In fact, the only change from his current position is that part of the profits have been included in the charity fund."

"And if we use this money to transform Macao Island, I believe the Governor's Office of Macao Island will definitely not refuse."

"After all, 60% of the city's funding comes from STDM. Improving the urban environment was one of the original purposes of STDM's existence."

When Portugal and Macau liberalized gambling licenses, one of the purposes was to solve the financial problems on the Macau island and make the finances self-sufficient. After all, it was impossible for the mainland to invest money here anymore.

Therefore, in recent years, almost all of the profits submitted by STDM have been used for municipal construction on Macau Island.

This is also the reason why Li Changhe boldly carries out municipal planning. The municipal plan issued by Macau Entertainment will be renovated at the expense of Macau Entertainment, and it is almost impossible for the Governor's Office to reject it.

The invisible benefits brought about by this are the profits of all shareholders.

Just like the Ho family's Dafeng Bank, Dr. Ho's real estate company, the Cui family's construction company, the emerging hotels, restaurants, taxis, etc. in Gegang overnight, when the time comes, they will all explode because of the arrival of tourists.

In addition, Li Changhe has another potential intention, which is to show some of the urban planning ideas to the domestic market.

He knew that in the early days of reform and opening up, China borrowed a lot of things from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and many of his ideas for the transformation of Macao Island actually originated from later urban construction ideas in China.

This is exactly what is taken from the mainland and used in the mainland, which is just right.
