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

Chapter 771 I have been harmed by wine and women!

After seeing Carol off, Li Changhe sat at the table and pondered for a moment before calling Anna.

"Boss, you called for me!"

"Anna, I have a task for you: help me gather information on top talent from sports equipment companies."

Li Changhe casually gave Anna the order.

Anna was somewhat surprised after hearing this.

"Boss, when you talk about sportswear, are you referring to companies like Adidas?"

Li Changhe nodded: "Yes!"

Anna understood Li Changhe's needs and didn't ask any further questions.

The boss just finished talking with Farol and then made this request. Could it be that Farol...
Regardless, let's finish the boss's task first.

After Anna left, Li Changhe went to the window and looked at Wall Street, the brightest spot in New York.

When Farol proposed the idea of ​​going public to him, it meant that he had most likely already made contact with Wall Street.

In other words, Farol may have been swayed by Wall Street's promises.

Li Changhe did not doubt Farol's loyalty, but there was no doubt that Farol had greater ambitions.

Li Changhe did not want to curb Farol's ambitions, but only if they were within Li Changhe's plans. Since Li Changhe did not want Red Bull to go public, he rejected Farol's proposal.

The sports equipment company was the stage he gave Ferrol; if they wanted to go public, they should make sports equipment a success.

Of course, if Farol feels that this is not enough and wants to leave Li Changhe's command, Li Changhe will not stop him. This is also why he asked Anna to collect backup talents.

He didn't even care whether Anna would leak the news to Farol, because no one would know that in Li Changhe's eyes, many companies were nothing more than toys.

Over the next few days, Li Changhe handled his affairs in New York in an orderly manner. As for Farol, there were no other troubles after he left, and Li Changhe didn't care whether he had figured things out or had other plans.

In mid-October, Li Changhe took Rosamund Kwan and Bellucci to Hawaii for a vacation.

In the nearly two years since then, Li Changhe's Lanai Island has been quite well-constructed. Li Changhe's visit this time was actually to take a look at the place in advance.

Originally, I planned to marry Gong Xue here, but the wedding didn't happen because the old man of the Bao family passed away. Instead, the resort area on the island has been completed.

Li Changhe and Gong Xue's wedding has been postponed to next year, 1985. This is mainly because people in Hong Kong are quite traditional. Li Changhe is not in a hurry to get married within a year of Bao Zhaolong's death, which can be considered as following the tradition of Hong Kong.

In nearly two years, with Li Changhe's strong investment, Lanai Island not only completed a relatively complete road network, but also built three resort areas, plus Li Changhe's own private estate.

However, this time, Li Changhe brought Guan Zhilin and the others not to his private manor, but to a renovated resort area.

Li Changhe has a use for each of the three resort areas on the island. One is open to some relatives and friends on Hong Kong Island and members of Hong Kong Island clubs. Another is open to future cultural tourism and resort routes. The third is a leisure resort area provided for some partners in Europe and America.

The latter two will be paired with two hotels: a Mandarin Oriental Hotel and a Peninsula Hotel.

As for his own manor, it was nominally prepared only for himself and Gong Xue, but in reality, it was prepared for his family. When his wife came to visit, this manor would be their place of residence.

After all, starting next year, many restrictions in the country will be further relaxed, and going abroad will not be so troublesome. Li Changhe should let his wife go out for a stroll.

Anyway, Li Changhe has had more women around him in the past two years. Whether it's Rosamund Kwan, Gong Xue, Sophie Marceau, Yerry, Isabelle Adjani, Bellucci, they are all young women. He is now showing some playboy flair.

Even at parties at Rockefeller Estate, David would tease him.

Therefore, Li Changhe was no longer worried about the appearance of another person by his side. With the imminent signing of the Plaza Accord, Li Changhe's momentum was already established, and his power was fully grown.

Lanai Island, Eden, is the name the design team gave to this European and American resort. The entire resort is indeed designed to be as dreamlike as the Garden of Eden.

“Vic, darling, is this really your own private island? My God, it’s absolutely beautiful here.”

Inside the resort, Monica Bellucci looked at the magnificent resort and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Monica Bellucci knew that Li Changhe owned a large farm in Montana, which was right next to Yellowstone National Park. It was a vast mountain farm with beautiful scenery and a wide area. Li Changhe had taken them there a few times.

I thought that was Victor's showcase, but I never expected that he would own such a dreamlike island in Hawaii.

This isn't the Bahamas or those tiny islands in the Caribbean that are only a few square kilometers in size. This is the sixth largest island in Hawaii, with an area of ​​over 140 square miles, larger than Los Angeles County.

Moreover, this place boasts such magnificent private resorts, including ultra-luxurious cruise ships and helicopters, which is undoubtedly paradise for the naturally romantic French and Italians.

"Later, I will give you an identity card, and you can use the identity card to come to this island for vacation."

Li Changhe casually said to Monica Bellucci.

Upon hearing this, Bellucci immediately hugged Li Changhe and pressed his bouncy ball against Li Changhe's body.

"Darling, can't I come anytime?"

Li Changhe smiled and said, "At present, it is not possible. It's not that I don't allow it, but there are still some plans being made on the island, including the construction of two five-star hotels and some amusement facilities, such as the construction of a racetrack."

"Many projects are still under discussion and planning with the Hawaii state government, so there will be irregular construction periods on the island. It will only be open year-round after all construction is completed."

Li Changhe wants to turn this island into his own paradise, which will inevitably require initial investment. Therefore, the island cannot be open 24/7 in the short term.

“Okay, then I hope I can come here every time she takes a break. I absolutely love this place. Now, I’m going to change into my prettiest swimsuit. Tonight, I’m going to be the queen of this beach.”

Li Changhe didn't know whether Monica had become empress or not, but in the following days, he certainly lived a life as comfortable as a king.

He now understood why some celebrities in later generations liked to go to those private islands. It wasn't just because of the privacy; more importantly, it was a place where they could unleash their true nature.

It's fair to say that what's shown in the movie is less than one ten-thousandth of what's depicted here.

Li Changhe enjoyed himself for a few days, but it also served as a wake-up call for him.

All I can say is that he must treat this island with caution; once it is opened up, it could very well become a den of iniquity.

Even if Li Changhe didn't have such intentions, given a sufficiently favorable environment, there are plenty of people who can objectively facilitate such a transformation. It's like someone of status bringing a target group to the island and then using that opportunity to commit a crime, leaving Li Changhe with a mess to clean up. Li Changhe would have to be wary of someone taking advantage of the situation to sabotage him.

Therefore, these things require planning ahead, which is why he doesn't plan to open Lanai Island early.

A week later, on the silvery white beach, Li Changhe was lying under a tree watching the sunset when Rosamund Kwan walked over wearing a blue bikini.

"Why didn't you go diving with them?"

Li Changhe smiled and asked as he watched Xiao Guan walk over.

Recently, the girls have become obsessed with diving. Lanai Island is considered one of the world's top diving spots, and Anna specially found a female instructor from Honolulu to teach them.

A group of people have been completely absorbed in this activity these days.

"Darling, can I ask you for a favor?"

At this moment, Xiao Guan leaned against Li Changhe and said in a coquettish tone.

"what's up?"

Li Changhe asked casually.

Rosamund Kwan said softly, "I'd like to bring my mother and younger brother over. Can they stay here for a few days?"

"The main reason is that my mother has been worried about my situation, and I can't tell her directly about your information, so I wanted to bring her here to play for a few days. Actually, once we get to this island, I think she will understand a lot of things."

Rosamund Kwan had her own little scheme; she wanted to show off to her mother how well she was doing, but she couldn't reveal Li Changhe's identity directly.

As the saying goes, the poor play with cars, the rich play with watches, and only the world's top players play with islands!

A private island is enough to reflect Li Changhe's status and position. Guan Zhilin felt that her mother could tell just by looking at the man she had found.

"Sure, you can contact Ah Hu and have her arrange a plane to Honolulu to pick them up. But it's not convenient for me to see them right now. I need to go back to the US soon, so you can take them here for a few days."

Li Changhe's words were, of course, a pretext. In fact, the real reason he left was that he wanted to take a few days off.

To paraphrase a line from Lü Bu in Romance of the Three Kingdoms: I have been harmed by wine and women!

Although Li Changhe's body was inexplicably strengthened due to the transmigration, this strengthening had its limits and did not turn him into a superman.

In fact, as his biological age gradually approached its peak of thirty, Li Changhe felt that his physical fitness was also slowly reaching its limit, and in the past year, there had been no more obvious progress than before.

These days, singing and dancing on the island every day, even the strongest kidneys can't withstand it.

So Li Changhe planned to change locations, rest for a few days, and then return.

"Okay, are Monica and the others leaving too?"

At this moment, Rosamund Kwan asked hesitantly.

Li Changhe shook his head: "I didn't ask them. I have something to do this time, so I'm not taking any of you with me. I'm going to Canada. There are some things I need to take care of there."

Hearing that Li Changhe wasn't bringing anyone, Guan Zhilin smiled. Competition is everywhere. Although she didn't compete with Gong Xue, it didn't mean she wouldn't compete with Monica and the others.

"Okay then, I'll wait for you in Hawaii. If you don't come back, just let me know, and I'll fly directly back to Hong Kong from Honolulu."

At this moment, Rosamund Kwan said obediently.

Li Changhe nodded, but before he could speak, he saw Guan Zhilin's head slowly move away from his sight.

Again!
Li Changhe was somewhat helpless. This was the kind of life he had been living these past few days. Who knew when someone would steal his food, and it would slowly escalate into a major conflict. No wonder he needed to rest and recuperate.

Two days later, Li Changhe boarded his private jet and flew to Vancouver. Ostensibly, he was going to the Okanagan Valley, but in reality, Li Changhe came to Canada to meet Scarface.

In October, Vancouver is in the early autumn season, neither too cold nor too hot. Although Vancouver is at a similar latitude to Northeast China, it is influenced by the Alaskan Current, so winter comes a little later and the overall temperature is more pleasant. Most importantly, it is a sparsely populated area.

In Vancouver, inside a private estate, Scar walked in silently.

"It doesn't have a tail, does it?"

Inside the room, Li Changhe asked Scarface in a low voice.

Scarface shook his head: "No, I've been lying low for several days. Not many people know I'm still in Vancouver. What do you need me for?"

"I'd like to talk to you and see how things are going in Canada!"

"Actually, my current influence is mainly on the West Coast. Chinatowns in Chinese cities like Vancouver are basically my territory. We rarely have conflicts with Europeans and whites. Our opponents are mostly Vietnamese or Indians, and there are also some Koreans."

"By the way, I have something to tell you, I don't know if you know this, but in California, don't get too close to Hua Qing."

"As far as I know, many people within Huaqing have been infiltrated by the CIA, and their Chinese identity is slowly changing."

Scarface then reminded Li Changhe.

Li Changhe nodded: "I know!"

Li Changhe had a conflict with Hua Qing, and naturally, he gradually learned more about Hua Qing.

In fact, with the passing of many elderly Chinese Americans, the younger generation of Chinese Americans who grew up in the United States are no longer so attached to their homeland. In comparison, they are more influenced by American values ​​and money, which makes them more susceptible to CIA infiltration.

Scarface's so-called "color change" refers to these "banana people," later known as ABCs, who are slowly changing the nature of Huaqing from the bottom up, playing a trick of substituting one thing for another.

After reminding Li Changhe, Scarface fell silent. He didn't know what to talk to Li Changhe about anymore.

Li Changhe looked at the scar and then revealed the purpose of his meeting with him.

How much money do you have on hand right now?
