"You must be joking." Old Tang glanced awkwardly at Li Zhaokun, who was trimming Li Ke's nails.
"Have a seat." Li He knew what Old Tang meant when he saw the wine on the table. There were two big bottles of Zhonghua Jade Spring. Other than Li Zhaokun, no one else liked it. It was not because the wine was expensive, but because it was hard to buy in Hong Kong and he had to ask someone to bring it from the mainland.
Obviously, Old Tang brought it over to please Li Zhaokun.
It seemed that the wine was effective, or else he would not have known about his return so quickly.
After Old Tang sat down, he said cautiously, "I have to thank you for what you did last time. This kid is old but not smart. He has a lot of worries."
He had been self-reliant all his life and rarely asked anyone for help, but he had asked Li He to do something for him. A favor was like a debt. Money was easy to repay, but a favor was the hardest!
The reason why it was hard to repay a favor was because there was no market value.
Li He said indifferently, "It's not a big deal. Don't worry about it. Is your son back?"
He only remembered it now. If Old Tang did not mention it, he would have forgotten about it.
"Not yet. You don't know Qi Yougong. He is a ruthless man and has killed many people. That's why I want him to stay in the mainland for a while." Old Tang did not make any requests.
"Oh, you see. I'll do it." Li He patted his head in embarrassment. He dialed the landline at home and answered Yu Dehua's call. "Old Yu, when will you arrange for Tang Liwen to come back? It's not good for him to be alone during the Spring Festival. There are old and young people at home."
"I'll make the arrangements now." Yu Dehua smiled. He wanted to hear Li He's words. Otherwise, he would not have to fight with Qi Yougong, since he was not related to the Tang family. That was why he only did half a favor. He still needed Li He to do the full favor.
"Sorry to trouble you." Li He hung up the phone.
"Thank you so much." Old Tang had been eavesdropping the entire time. Naturally, he was overjoyed. Moreover, he was filled with admiration for Li He. He had put himself in such a difficult situation, yet Li He merely said a few words.
Li He said, "It's not a big deal. It's also my fault. I don't have a good memory. Otherwise, I would have settled it long ago."
Old Tang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't say that. Please don't. If you say that again, I'll have to find a hole to hide in. I don't even know how to repay your kindness."
Wang Yulan had already served the dishes, and Li He was helping to clear the table. He smiled at Old Tang and said, "Then have a good drink. If you drink too much, let's find a hole to hide in together."
"When it comes to drinking, you're the only one who can find a crack in the ground." When it came to drinking, Old Tang refused to admit defeat.
Together with Li Zhaokun, the three of them finished two bottles of white wine effortlessly.
After drinking, Li He did not go for an afternoon nap. Instead, he brought Ah Wang for a sunbath.
The sand kicked up by his left foot flew into his right shoe, and the sand kicked up by his right foot flew into his left shoe. It got stuck between his shoe and his sock and hurt his feet. In a fit of anger, he threw his shoe off and walked barefoot on the beach.
Perhaps because of the alcohol, he stripped naked and dove into the sea.
Ding Shiping had already taken off his clothes and was ready to rescue him at any moment. If he were to drown while drunk, he would be in big trouble.
"Mr. Li, you're still in such a good mood." Shen Daoru had unknowingly appeared beside Ding Shiping.
"Mr. Shen." Ding Shiping nodded at him.
When Li He saw Shen Daoru, he did not stay in the water for long. He quickly swam to the shore and kicked Ah Wang, who was pouncing at him. "How did you get here?"
"It was nothing at first. I just heard that Deng Wanxia, the actress from Kunqu Opera, would be performing, so I bought two tickets and brought them to you." Shen Daoru had also taken a liking to Li He.
"Oh, it's her. She sings quite well." Li He took the tickets and looked at the time. He shook his head regretfully and said, "It's a pity that she can't make it. She'll be leaving in two days."
Shen Daoru smiled and said, "That's fine. We'll organize a joint performance at the end of the year. I can invite her to come by then."
"We'll talk about it then." Li He wiped the water off his body with a towel and asked, "How many of my collections have you collected? Did you encounter any difficulties? "
Shen Daoru said, "These are all handled by Old Yu and Chen Lihua. I've heard a little about it. Some are easy to find out, and some are not. Some are foreign buyers in Malaya, Indonesia, and Singapore, so it's not easy to find them. Although some are in Hong Kong, they don't necessarily care about their reputation. They're all real collectors. Those who are willing to do so will arrange for their people to send them over."
"I'm not afraid of those who don't care about their reputation, but I'm afraid that if they do, it'll be too much pressure to return the favor." Li He thought for a while and said. "If they don't want to do so, it's just a matter of money. Give me more money."
Shen Daoru smiled and said, "These collectors are either rich or expensive. They don't lack money. They might not be willing to pay several times the original price. After all, it's hard to buy a good heart with money."
Li He sneered and said, "So you're going against me?"
"I'm afraid it'll be easy to offend people." Shen Daoru understood what Li He meant.
Li He said indifferently, "I'm not afraid of offending people. How can I be afraid of offending people when doing business? Good people don't do business. There's a precondition for harmony to make money. It has to be good for both of us. If I'm not good, then what's the point of being harmonious?"
This was something that Li Lao 'er had learned over the years. In essence, he was not a true gentleman.
"Understood. I'll pass on the message." Shen Daoru knew that Li He really wanted to cause trouble. It was easy to take advantage of him, but it was a bit difficult to take advantage of him for free. Then he asked, "Do you want me to accompany you to Malaya this time? I'm familiar with that place. I've been there many times over the years. "
Li He asked, "Does Yuan Da have business there?"
Shen Daoru nodded and said, "We have a real estate cooperation project with Parkson Group, a subsidiary of the Golden Lion Group in Kuala Lumpur. This was introduced by Miss Guo."
"Golden Lion?" Li He also felt that it sounded familiar, but he didn't know what it was specifically for.
Shen Daoru explained, "This is one of the top ten consortiums in Malaya. It belongs to the Zhong family. It has hundreds of group subsidiaries, and there are five or six listed companies. Parkson Group is one of them. It has a pivotal position in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong.
In recent years, they have also begun to invest in the Mainland. For example, Hendy Pharmaceutical was established together with the Huangshi Antibiotic General Factory in Northern Hubei. Alto's engine was also produced in a joint venture with the Jiangling factory of the Northern Industrial Corporation. Dongfeng Golden Lion Tire was also established in a joint venture with the Dongfeng Tire Factory and has been exported. Also, Golden Dragon Spring Beer Group was also invested by them. "
