Chapter 212 The rich people buy gifts together
Because Li Zetian didn't have that much money and wanted to be as cheap as possible, the negotiation between Li's Pharmaceutical Company and Johnson \u0026 Johnson was a protracted bargaining battle.
Time flies and it is almost June 1st. That day will be Xiao Youran's first birthday.
Li Zetian's parents wanted to come to the United States to celebrate Xiao Youran's birthday. Li Zetian thought to himself, Li Chengzhi and Xiao Zhixuan are old, so don't let the elderly fly around all the time. So, Li Zetian decided to go to Hong Kong with Yu Jingqiu and Xiao Youran, and talk to Shen Bi, the chairman of HSBC Bank, about loans.
When Shen Bi learned that Li Zetian wanted to acquire Johnson \u0026 Johnson, he took the initiative to call and ask if he wanted a loan.
HSBC is powerful and ranks among the top ten banks in the world. It also accepted their favor when it acquired shares in Hutchison Whampoa last time. Since the other party took the initiative to contact me, I simply agreed. As for the specific situation, we would meet and discuss it in detail.
…
Hong Kong has undergone great changes in the past two years. Due to the successful implementation of the science and technology park, Hong Kong's economy has gradually begun to transform, and many technology companies have chosen to establish branches in Hong Kong. However, real estate, finance, and port trade are still the main economic pillars of Hong Kong.
When Li Zetian and his party arrived at the Pingdingshan Villa, Li Chengzhi, Xiao Zhixuan and Zhou Qiqi came out with cheerful faces.
Xiao Zhixuan looked at the little Youran in Yu Jingqiu's arms, immediately stepped forward to hug her, and asked affectionately: "My little Youran, do you still remember grandma?" Xiao Zhixuan returned to Hong Kong in January this year. I haven’t seen Youran in 5 months.
Xiao Youran stretched out her little hand to scratch Xiao Zhixuan's face, and shouted in a milky voice: "Grandma~~~" Although the pronunciation was not clear, she could still hear that she was called grandma.
Due to her good genetics, good education, and good food, Xiao Youran has been very smart since she was a child. She will be able to call her "Mom" and "Dad" around May, and grandma around June. She is now 1 year old. Can understand some simple sentences and use some simple words.
Xiao Zhixuan looked very happy when she heard Xiao Youran call her "grandma" and couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek, "My little granddaughter is so good, grandma's love for you is not in vain!"
Li Chengzhi also came over at this time, "Xiao Youran, call me grandpa!"
Xiao Youran looked at him curiously with her bright little eyes, but said nothing. Then she turned her head and hugged Xiao Zhixuan with both hands, looking scared. Li Chengzhi was busy with work, and his unkempt appearance might have frightened Xiao Youran.
Li Zetian stepped forward, touched Xiao Youran's head, and said, "Xiao Youran, what is your father's father's name?"
"Call grandpa!"
"Well, he is dad's dad, so you have to call him grandpa, you know?"
"Hmm~~"
With Li Zetian's encouragement, Xiao Youran hesitated for a while, and finally called "Grandpa" to Li Chengzhi.
Li Chengzhi responded happily.
Li Zetian said to Li Chengzhi at this time: "Dad, Xiao Youran may not be too familiar with you. It would be better if you two stayed together for a while."
Li Chengzhi sighed slightly: "If I hadn't been too busy here, I would have been with Xiao Youran in the United States."
"When we come to Hong Kong this time, Jingqiu and I decided to stay a little longer."
Li Chengzhi said happily: "This is great!"
At this time, Li Zetian felt his clothes being pulled by someone. He looked down and saw that it was Zhou Qiqi.
"Brother Zetian, Xiao Youran hasn't called me aunt yet~"
Today, Zhou Qiqi is already a cardamom girl, nearly 160cm tall, slender and handsome, just like Du Mu's poem: "Pingping is more than thirteen years old, and the cardamom tips are in early February!" The former little Qiqi has grown into a little beauty.
"Xiao Youran, she is aunt!" Li Zetian pointed at Zhou Qiqi and said.
Maybe girls are more friendly, Xiao Youran actually called "Auntie" sweetly!
Zhou Qiqi was so excited that she became an aunt.
Xiao Zhixuan smiled at this time and said: "Okay, let's stop standing at the door and go inside first."
"Yeah." Everyone responded and walked towards the house.
…
The next day is June 1st, Xiao Youran’s birthday.
The mansion at No. 22 Barker Road is decorated like a fairy tale kingdom, and Xiao Youran is the princess in the kingdom.
"Neighbors" learned that Li Zetian's beloved daughter was about to celebrate her first birthday, so they came to congratulate her one after another.
It’s so lively inside the mansion!
As Hong Kong's political or business leaders came to No. 22 Barker Road, it caused a huge sensation in the Hong Kong media. It didn't take long for the paparazzi to find out that it was the birthday of billionaire Chronos Li's daughter.
One reporter couldn't help but sigh: "Damn it, a person who would shock Hong Kong even if he stomped his feet went to celebrate the birthday of Chronos Li's daughter. This is so disrespectful!!!"
Another reporter said: "It's not like you don't know the hottest news recently! Lee's Pharmaceutical Company is going to acquire Johnson \u0026 Johnson of the United States. This is an acquisition of more than 10 billion US dollars! Which Chinese can do it nowadays? Which Chinese can do this? Rich. If I look at it, the top ten richest people in Hong Kong may not have as much assets as Chronos Li. Otherwise, it’s just his daughter’s birthday, why would they all rush to celebrate it?!”
"Yeah yeah!"
…
"Chronos·Li, this is a little gift. Happy birthday to little Youran!"
Lee Shau Kee sent a small sea view villa worth millions of Hong Kong dollars.
Zheng Yutong, the boss of Chow Tai Fook Jewelery and Gold Shop, sent a box of valuable jade.
Sun Hung Kai Real Estate CEO Guo Bingxiang sent a customized Patek Philippe children's watch.
…
Xiao Zhixuan couldn't help but be stunned as she watched a group of rich people in Hong Kong "crazyly buying" gifts.
"The gifts are piling up, and many of them are very expensive. I'm afraid the gifts alone cost tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars!" As she said this, she looked down at the little Youran in her arms. The little guy had nothing. You know, just playing with yourself with a teddy bear toy.
At night, the mansion was brightly lit, and as the birthday song played, a two-meter-high cake was piled out.
"
…
HappyBirthdayto leisurely!
HappyBirthdayto leisurely! !
HappyBirthdayto leisurely! ! !
"
Yu Jingqiu walked to the cake with Xiao Youran in her arms, and Li Zetian cut the cake himself while singing.
Click, click, click!
There was also a cameraman on the side who specially took photos and videos to record this moment. This will be the best memory for Li Zetian's family.
…
As the night progressed, the guests left one after another.
Li Zetian and others also worked hard all day and rested early that night.
The next day, the weather was beautiful.
The front pages of Hong Kong's major newspapers were all reporting on Li Zetian's daughter's birthday party, so that top priority issues such as Sino-British negotiations were squeezed out.
Yu Jingqiu and Xiao Zhixuan took Zhou Qiqi and Xiao Youran to the amusement park, Li Chengzhi went to work, and Li Zetian made an appointment with Shen Bi, chairman of HSBC Bank, to discuss a loan at a hotel.
In a hotel room.
Shen Bi looked at Li Zetian with a smile and said: "Mr. Li, Li's Pharmaceutical Company's acquisition of Johnson \u0026 Johnson is really a big deal!!! With your strength, you will definitely succeed. I would like to congratulate Li's Pharmaceutical Company in advance on becoming Medical giant!!!" As he spoke, Shen Bi picked up a glass of red wine and drank it in one gulp.
"Thank you!" Li Zetian also drank up the glass of red wine on the table.
"Mr. Li, Johnson \u0026 Johnson is the world's top pharmaceutical company. It will definitely not be easy to acquire it. If you need any funds, please feel free to ask! HSBC is willing to fully support you!"
"Then I'm welcome!" Li Zetian said, "I want a loan of at least US$2 billion!"
Shen Bi thought for a moment, smiled and nodded: "No problem, even 3 billion US dollars is fine!!"
Based on his understanding of the industry under Li Zetian's name, billions of dollars are nothing.
