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

Chapter 632: Give in!

After playing outside for three or four days, it was time for Li Changhe to go and see his team.

So early that morning, Shen Juncheng drove to the Li family's building in the staff quarters of Yenching Institute of Technology.

Last night they went home to have dinner with their family and stayed at Zhu Lin's house for one night. It was time to go in the morning and take Shen Juncheng's car.

It was also thanks to this period that Shen Juncheng learned to drive, which provided him with convenience.

"No, your clothes are in the back, change them yourself!"

Shen Juncheng was driving the same van as last time, and Li Changhe did not hesitate to change his clothes in the car.

"I really didn't expect that you would do such a big thing outside. How are you? Are you nervous?"

In front, Shen Juncheng said to Li Changhe while driving.

Li Changhe shook his head: "Why should I be so nervous? I am not doing anything illegal. I am just doing a business. I just used a fake name."

"I'll leave you Ah Hu's phone number. If your wife wants to go abroad someday, give him a call. Ah Hu can help her. It's a very chaotic situation overseas right now. She needs to be careful when she goes out to play."

Li Changhe then said to Shen Juncheng.

With Shen Juncheng's identity, he would never be able to go out in his life unless he went abroad on business. However, given their family conditions, Qu Hongshao might want to go out and play, and he could help her then.

"Going abroad? We haven't even thought about it."

"It's not that easy to get out now!"

Going abroad now requires approval, and given the status of the Shen and Qu families, it is not easy to go out easily.

"Don't worry, it will be relaxed in a few years, and it will be easy to get out then."

Li Changhe said with a smile.

In a few years, the country will open up further, and going abroad will be as easy as playing, and a craze for going abroad will arise.

"We'll talk about it later. If not, let her go out with Zhu Lin and the others. It will be convenient then."

Shen Juncheng is also a cunning person. Li Changhe is so rich, Zhu Lin will definitely go out often in the future. Let his wife go with him. At that time, she can eat, drink and play for free. Her safety is guaranteed. It is definitely a good thing.

If he still had some reserve when taking advantage of others, he had no psychological burden at all when taking advantage of Li Changhe.

"By the way, how did you do these two years abroad to become a wealthy man? Can you tell me about it?"

Shen Juncheng asked Li Changhe curiously. He was really curious about Li Changhe's overseas experience.

"Comrade Juncheng, what did Comrade Liang Qun tell you before? Organizational matters must be kept confidential, and you shouldn't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Have you forgotten the rules?"

Li Changhe pretended to be serious and joked at this time.

"I'll go to you!"

Shen Juncheng cursed with a smile, but tactfully didn't ask any more questions.

Soon, the car arrived at a courtyard house. Shen Juncheng drove the car directly into the yard, and then Li Changhe got out of the car.

"Boss, you're finally back!"

Ah Hu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Changhe coming back.

He went out to visit tourist attractions these two days, disguised as Li Changhe, and was very nervous.

Fortunately, Director Liang S made good arrangements and almost no one came forward to disturb him. Most of them acted as tour guides and introduced things to them.

"Tell me about your itinerary for the next two days. I have an idea in mind!"

Li Changhe said to Ah Hu at this time.

In fact, Shen Juncheng had already told him about it on the way here, but Shen Juncheng was just a security guard after all, so there was a difference between talking to Ah Hu, who was directly involved.

Ah Hu nodded, and then began to tell Li Changhe about his itinerary over the past few days in detail.

After a while, Liang Qun also came in with two foreign affairs personnel.

These two people are his direct subordinates, and they have met Li Changhe before in the Foreign Affairs Office, so this time, they were also selected to participate in this mission.

"Hey, you're back today? Does that mean I don't have to take them out for a walk anymore?"

Liang Qun saw Li Changhe and said with a smile.

Li Changhe shook his head: "I think the time is almost up. I can't let a big leader like you delay my work all the time."

"By the way, how was your conversation these past two days?"

Li Changhe knew that Liang Qun was different from him, and he could leave all matters to his subordinates to handle and negotiate.

But it was different for Liang Qun. After he helped Li Changhe conceal his identity, he still had to listen to reports from some of the working groups in the evening.

The reason why it is a partial working group is that only a part of the business is related to their capital.

"We have already negotiated the pharmaceutical factory and the hotel. The next step is to choose a location. As for the sales scope of the pharmaceutical factory, the Ministry of Health will re-plan it. The pharmaceutical industry is also undergoing reforms recently, and the joint venture factory will be included in the management system at that time."

"The hotel thing is also going smoothly. You have given instructions, and your team didn't struggle too much. They basically followed the cooperation model of the Jianguo Hotel."

“The next step is to select a site and start construction.”

"But I heard that the other negotiations are progressing very slowly. You can go back and take a look at what's going on."

Liang Qun said softly.

Li Changhe nodded thoughtfully: "I see, it's a good opportunity for me to go back and take a look today!"

Later that day at noon, Li Changhe and his group returned to the State Guesthouse.

But when I met Catherine, it was already evening.

After learning that Li Changhe had returned, Catherine came to Li Changhe's residence with a lot of documents.

"Boss!"

"This is the progress of the negotiations with their officials over the past few days!"

Catherine placed the document in front of Li Changhe.

Li Changhe opened it and took a look. At the same time, Catherine also began to report.

After explaining the negotiation process of both parties to Li Changhe, Catherine said distressedly, "Boss, we are facing a problem now. In many cases, the other party's negotiations are not based on business cooperation."

"They often make very strange demands and refuse to compromise on many issues."

Li Changhe looked at the records on the document, smiled and shook his head.

"Catherine, you have to understand that in this land, politics is often more important than business."

"Forget it. I think everyone actually agrees on the general direction, and there are only some differences in the detailed terms."

"You can make some concessions on the points I marked. This is their national condition and we have to understand it."

"But again, when you go back, add a little more."

"We cooperate with them in the form of cooperative licensing of our technology and brands for a period of 15 to 20 years. After the expiration, both parties can renegotiate the framework of cooperation."

Catherine was a little surprised to hear what Li Changhe said.

"Boss, if this is the case, wouldn't we be at a loss?"

If the cooperation period is only fifteen or twenty years, then the other party will be able to kick them out by then, and the risk for them will be too great.

Li Changhe put down the document and explained seriously, "For us, it's not a loss."

"I am back to invest now because we are all Chinese. Although there is a special situation between Hong Kong Island and the mainland due to historical factors, for us, giving back to the mainland is what we should do. Just like my uncles, many of them took the initiative to contribute to this place."

"Under this circumstance, it is impossible for us to talk to them completely according to the requirements of commercial cooperation."

"Besides, I come here to invest, not to bet on the present, but on the future!" "The mainland has only initially opened up their market, but I believe that in the future they will further open up their market and even allow us to set up wholly-owned enterprises."

"So I think in the early stage, we should focus on expanding our brand and developing our own technology. If we wait until the other party completely opens up the market, it will be a good opportunity for us to start from scratch and be the first to enter a market with a population of nearly one billion."

"On the other hand, if their direction changes, we will take back our brand and technology and accept the loss."

"I said we wanted to build a world-class enterprise, and that hasn't changed. But what I didn't tell you is that this world-class enterprise is very dependent on the mainland market."

"After all, the size of a company is largely determined by the market. Just like those small countries in Southeast Asia, they can't produce many world-class companies no matter how hard they try."

"For me, the cost of building a factory is not high. What is really needed are skilled workers, a high-quality team, and a mature brand model."

"Next, you follow this direction, make appropriate concessions, and then continue the talks with them."

Li Changhe explained to Catherine seriously that he couldn't say that he was going there just to help build the country.

Furthermore, Li Changhe was very clear that after 2000, the country's commercial market was basically liberalized, especially after joining the WTO.

By that time, foreign-invested joint ventures will face some choices, namely, separation of shares or starting anew.

Li Changhe reserved the brand and technology in advance, and also prepared for that period in advance.

"I understand, Boss. I will discuss with others and make appropriate concessions in the direction you outlined."

Catherine nodded thoughtfully.

At this moment, the phone rang in Li Changhe's room.

Li Changhe picked up the phone and heard that it was Bao Yugang who called. After knowing that Li Changhe had returned, the other party asked him to come over to his place and have a seat.

Afterwards, Li Changhe came to Bao Yugang's room.

"How's it going? I heard you've been out visiting a lot of places these days?"

Bao Yugang asked with a smile.

Li Changhe nodded: "Yes, I came to the capital and took a look around. Uncle, how is the discussion going here?"

"Not bad, we've basically finished the discussion. As for Yuxing, Yuxing, you can talk to Ayang."

Bao Yugang said to his third brother.

Bao Yuxing also looked at Li Changhe at this time and asked seriously: "Ayang, have you really decided to invest in Uncle San's company?"

"If you've really decided, Uncle San can just go for it!"

After receiving assurances from the mainland, Bao Yuxing understood that he now had everything ready except for the right time.

As long as he has a ship and people, he won’t have to worry about orders anymore.

After all, the mainland will give him a portion of the orders, and Li Changhe will also give him a portion of the orders.

"Of course, Uncle San can make a plan to see how much money is expected to be needed, and specify which funds are for equity investment and which funds are considered loans."

"When the time comes, I will transfer the funds to the company's account in the shortest possible time."

Li Changhe said seriously.

After hearing what Li Changhe said, Bao Yuxing said without hesitation: "Ayang, according to the scale in my mind, we can take over ten cargo ships and five oil tankers from my second brother. The price of a conventional tonnage cargo ship ranges from 4 million to 6 million US dollars, and the price of an oil tanker will be slightly higher than that of a cargo ship."

"And taking into account the operating costs, I estimate that your capital increase will cost at least $150 million. In this way, the two of us will each own 50% of the shares. After we go back, I will have someone calculate the investment funds, and the rest will be considered as a loan from me. How do you do that?"

In fact, Bao Yuxing had already discussed this with Bao Yuguang, and it was just a matter of confirming Li Changhe's intentions and attitude.

After listening to this, Li Changhe smiled and nodded: "No problem, Uncle San, I will invest after you have planned it."

"Ayang, this is not a small amount of money, and you just invested a lot of money on the mainland. Is the money in your hand enough?"

Bao Yugang asked Li Changhe softly at this time.

But he knew that Li Changhe had spent a lot of money recently.

Although it is not clear how the French did it, they definitely invested a lot of money.

Now the mainland has nearly 300 million US dollars, if we add Bao Yuxing's 150 million, he has this much money.
"Don't worry, uncle, there is enough money!"

"I just transferred part of my investment in Japan to some Jewish financial groups in Europe headed by the Rothschild family, and I got some money back."

"And there's a lot of money deposited in the major banks in Hong Kong Island!"

Li Changhe said with a smile.

A large portion of the money he borrowed from major banks in Hong Kong Island is still untouched.

In addition, the Rothschild family gave another sum of money.

In addition, he has a sum of money in the Middle East, and no one knows how much it is now.

It seems I have to find time to visit the Middle East.

Bao Yugang was a little surprised to hear Li Changhe's words.

He knew the name of the Rothschild family. After all, they were mining giants. Many European shipping companies took their business, and Bao Yugang sometimes took it too.

I never thought that Li Changhe has now even contacted the Rothschild family.

"Well, you just need to know the number yourself."

"By the way, I asked you to come here for another thing. We have to leave in the next two days and we have to go back to Ninghai on the way."

"I'm afraid you'll have to go along, too."

Ninghai is Bao Yugang's hometown. Li Changhe is now under the name of the Bao family. When the Bao family goes back, Li Changhe will definitely show up.

"I've thought about it. If it's inconvenient for you at that time, just go over there and take a proper walk, and then leave."

After all, Li Changhe's identity was fake, and Bao Yugang was worried that the other party would have objections.

After listening to this, Li Changhe smiled and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, uncle, I'll just go with you."

"It's not that complicated. Just for the help the Bao family has given me, I should go and burn some incense."

If Li Changhe had not received the one million US dollars in capital from Bao Yugang, he would never have reached where he is today.

All things are difficult at the beginning. Without sufficient capital, you cannot make enough money in the Silver Storm, and everything that follows is just empty talk.

It can be said that Lao Bao has made an indispensable contribution to his current status.

Besides, no one knew where the Li family’s ancestral tomb was, and his father was too lazy to look for it, so he naturally didn’t care.

What's more, going there would be of great help in protecting his identity.

Revolutionaries don't care about these things. Think about how many of our ancestors changed their names and sacrificed their lives.

Then after the founding of the People's Republic of China, they were too lazy to go back to their real names and just lived under the fake surnames.

What a big deal!
Seeing that Li Changhe agreed so readily, a hint of satisfaction appeared in the eyes of Bao Yuguang and Bao Yuxing.

They now truly treat Li Changhe as their own nephew, and the other party's performance did not disappoint them.

Especially the old man, I think he will be very happy when he hears it tomorrow.

"Yuxing, you go back first. I have something else to talk to Ayang about."

Bao Yugang said to Bao Yuxing again at this time.

Bao Yuxing nodded, then stood up and left.

Seeing this, Li Changhe guessed that it was probably a problem about Hong Kong Island.
