Early in the morning, Li Baolong woke up and saw Honghong sleeping soundly beside him. He couldn't help but think: Would it be a good idea to let Sister Honghong open a beauty salon in Chengdu, specializing in women's business? Right now, beauty and cosmetic products from Hong Kong are incredibly popular. If he brought a few products over to sell, the business would definitely be good.
Li Baolong drove to Liu Gan's villa, where Sister Lanhua was already waiting for him. Entering the house, he was struck by its opulent decor. Liu Gan, in his fifties, short and stout, spoke with a strong Chengdu accent: "My dear Baolong, I've long admired your name! It's truly an honor to finally meet you today!" Li Baolong quickly returned the greeting.
The group walked together to the restaurant and took their seats. Li Baolong glanced around; there were six people in total. He recognized Lao Feng, Sister Lanhua, and Liu Gan. There was also a young woman in the crowd, and Li Baolong's eyes lit up immediately. The girl was incredibly beautiful, with fair and delicate skin, a voluptuous figure, and dyed blonde hair; she looked to be around twenty years old. There was also a couple there, who appeared to be married.
Sister Lanhua spoke first: "Brother Long, let me introduce you. This pretty girl is Liu Gan's niece, Liu Tiantian. The two next to her are Liu Gan's cousin, Liu Neng, and his wife, Ms. Xie." Li Baolong nodded in greeting. Liu Tiantian, however, stared intently at Li Baolong.
Everyone praised Li Baolong for his speed in making money and his decisiveness. Although each person had only received a few million before, it had given them a real glimpse of the allure of futures trading, and they were all very interested in it.
In the eyes of this group, Li Baolong's status was rising rapidly, and he was making more and more money; his future importance was undeniable. After several rounds of drinks, Liu Gan instructed Lan Hua to take Li Baolong and the butler, Lao Feng, to the Heaven on Earth nightclub, to be treated with the highest level of hospitality. He knew in his heart that young people were only interested in money and women, and nightclubs were never short of beautiful girls; he was sure he could win Li Baolong over.
Li Baolong and Lao Feng were led to a luxurious private room on the third floor, where they could eat, drink, and have fun. Lao Feng grinned lewdly at Li Baolong and said, "Brother Long, I'll arrange for two top beauties to sing and dance for you later to liven things up. I guarantee you'll be satisfied." At this moment, Li Baolong was slightly drunk and lying on the sofa.
A moment later, three beautiful women entered, each with their own unique charm. Old Feng immediately grabbed one of the older women and started touching her inappropriately, even flirting with her. The scene was quite arousing. The other two young and pretty women sat down next to Li Baolong and quietly asked him what games he wanted to play, adding that they were good at drinking, singing, and dancing.
Li Baolong also sang a few songs with great enthusiasm. And you know what? He's actually quite good at singing; he can sing several songs by the Four Heavenly Kings. There were two beautiful women dancing beside him, and the scene was incredibly lively.
After the three men drank several bottles of foreign liquor, Li Baolong started to feel the effects. He became dizzy and disoriented, and was helped into the bedroom. In his dazed state, he vaguely felt someone undressing him. Although Li Baolong was drunk, he still remained somewhat vigilant.
Suddenly, he flung open the door and rushed out. Old Feng was sitting not far away, holding a camera, waiting for the perfect opportunity, but his plans were all ruined. Li Baolong caught a glimpse of the two beauties out of the corner of his eye—good heavens, they were already completely naked, waiting for a "battle." Unexpectedly, Li Baolong ran away at this crucial moment. Without saying a word, Li Baolong walked straight out of the nightclub, leaving Old Feng and the two beauties standing there staring blankly.
Li Baolong, after leaving the nightclub that day, took a taxi home. After getting home, he took a shower, went straight to sleep, and slept soundly.
The next day, he drove to the school, found the department head, and immediately told him he wanted to donate one hundred computers to the school. The department head's eyes widened in surprise, and he said, "Did I hear that right?" Li Baolong chuckled and replied, "You absolutely didn't mishear." The department head was both astonished and delighted, and hurriedly ran to the principal's office to report the situation. The principal also found it unbelievable that a student would donate such a large number of computers, but seeing Li Baolong's confident demeanor, he remained somewhat skeptical.
Li Baolong continued, "The latest model computers cost ten thousand yuan each, so a hundred of them would be a million yuan." The department head nodded hurriedly, "That's right, that's right, Li Baolong." Li Baolong added, "I'll transfer the money to the school's financial account later. It's nothing special, just a way to thank the teachers and the school for their help and support all this time. There will be more donations like this in the future." After saying that, he left the school.
After making the call, Li Baolong called Wenwen from Longteng Company in the Special Economic Zone and asked her to transfer one million yuan to the school's account immediately. Wenwen readily agreed and said she would do it right away.
At noon, Li Baolong invited Sister Honghong to lunch. At the table, he told her, "Sister, I have to go to Xiamen tomorrow. A real estate company there is transferring its shares to me, so I'll have my own company then!" Sister Honghong's eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "Then I'll go with you." Li Baolong shook his head, smiling, and said, "Sister, no need this time. You should go to Hong Kong for an inspection later, and we'll meet there." Sister Honghong felt a little reluctant, but also thought Li Baolong probably had his reasons, so she said, "Okay then, maybe this arrangement is better."
The next day, Sister Honghong accompanied Li Baolong to the airport early in the morning. When it was time to part, Sister Honghong was full of reluctance and watched Li Baolong enter the security checkpoint before slowly turning away.
As soon as Li Baolong got off the plane, he saw Manager Xu Jianhua already waiting at the airport exit. After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two drove together to the company.
Upon arriving at the company, Li Baolong found it to be quite rudimentary, with only twenty or thirty employees. Fortunately, Zheng Zhi had already communicated with Xu Jianhua beforehand, so Li Baolong only needed to amend the contract and re-sign it. The twenty million yuan was successfully transferred from Lulutong Company's account to Zheng Zhi. After all the formalities were completed, Xu Jianhua introduced the new chairman, Li Baolong, to the company employees, adding that the company's direction was about to change.
Afterwards, the two drove out for dinner. On the way, Xu Jianhua told Li Baolong that the company had changed owners and the old name also needed to be changed, asking Li Baolong to come up with a new name. Li Baolong thought for a moment and said, "Let's call it Baolong Real Estate. In the future, we'll build residential complexes and commercial plazas all over the country." Xu Jianhua was delighted: "That's a powerful name, great!"
That evening, Li Baolong returned to his hotel and went for a stroll along the beach. A crowd had gathered to look at the warships in the distance. Someone excitedly exclaimed, "That's our country's newest destroyer!" But another person chimed in, "It's a pity our country didn't have enough money; only four were built. Otherwise, the Americans wouldn't dare to loiter and swagger around in the Taiwan Strait." Li Baolong listened, silently noting this to himself. He thought to himself that with the country short of funds and the US provoking them on their territory, the situation was tense. It seemed like things were about to change, and perhaps a new opportunity was on the horizon.
