Chapter 191 10% equity as a gift
Taking advantage of the fact that the situation had stabilized a little, Liu Hongmin dealt with some matters and immediately flew to Hong Kong.
Li Lizhen came to the airport with her bodyguards. Liu Hongmin has always paid attention to Li Lizhen's safety in the past two years. Especially after this incident, Liu Hongmin once again strengthened the protection of Li Lizhen.
Liu Hongmin came to Hong Kong mainly to get engaged to Li Lizhen. Li Lizhen had already met Liu Hongmin's parents, and Liu Hongmin also wanted to meet Li Lizhen's parents first. If the other party had no objection, the wedding date would be set.
Li Lizhen also told her parents about it, and they were naturally willing. Their family was poor, and Li Lizhen had to earn money to support the family since she was young. Since Li Lizhen followed Liu Hongmin, their family's situation has improved.
Even so, the Li family is still not as well off as Liu Hongmin. So Li Lizhen's parents are a little worried that Liu Hongmin's family will not like Li Lizhen. Marrying into a wealthy family is the biggest dream of Hong Kong people, but it is not easy to marry into a wealthy family. Many female stars not only suffer bullying after marrying into wealthy families, but some are also abused.
Therefore, Li Lizhen's parents were very conflicted. They wanted to marry into the Liu family, but were also afraid that Li Lizhen would not be liked by the Liu family.
Liu Hongmin came to their house to dispel their concerns.
"My family was born in the peasant family, and we don't have that many class concepts. My parents have met Ah Zhen, and they like her very much, so you don't have to worry about Ah Zhen being treated unfairly. In a few days, my parents will come to Hong Kong, and then our two families will sit down to discuss the marriage. My parents don't care about money, so you can talk to me directly about the betrothal gift."
Mr. and Mrs. Li looked at each other and were a little embarrassed to speak.
"Amin, we are already satisfied that Azhen can marry you."
Liu Hongmin could see it, so he said directly: "How about this! I will give you 10% of the shares of Tomorrow Film Company as a gift, and you will receive dividends on time every year, but you cannot participate in management."
"Ah?" Mr. and Mrs. Li exclaimed, and then were pleasantly surprised.
Last year, Mingtian Film Company distributed a dividend of 10 million Hong Kong dollars. A % stake would earn them million Hong Kong dollars. This amount of money was enough for them to buy several thousand-square-foot mansions. In addition to Li Lizhen, the Li family also had several children, and each child could get a house as a wedding house.
The point is, tomorrow the movie companies will probably make more profit this year than they did last year.
Liu Hongmin continued, "You are Ah Zhen's family, and these shares are given to you to secure your future life. As long as you don't get involved in bad things, this money is enough for you to live for several lifetimes. Even if you want to live a better life and buy some luxury goods, it is enough for you to use for a lifetime."
Mr. and Mrs. Li nodded quickly, "Amin, you are right. We will definitely live a good life in the future and will never get involved in those bad things."
Li Lizhen warned them, "What Amin hates most is people who are uneducated. When the dividends come in this year, I will send my brothers and sisters to private schools. As for my brother and sister-in-law, I will open a store for them to do some small business. If you really get involved in those bad things, I will let Amin take back your shares."
"Ah Zhen, don't worry."
The Li couple quickly agreed. The economic base determines the superstructure. All this money was earned by Li Lizhen, so Li Lizhen had the greatest say in the Li family.
After Liu Hongmin reached an agreement, he notified his parents to come to Hong Kong.
Li Lizhen dressed simply and went to the airport with Liu Hongmin.
"My mother would be happier if you dressed nicely."
"I don't want your parents to think I'm too modest. After all, we're getting engaged soon, and it's not good to dress flashily. All the wealthy families in Hong Kong are like this. We must know our limits in front of our elders."
"Our family is not a wealthy one, but we don't have so many rules." "It wasn't before, but it will definitely be in the future."
Liu Hongmin scoffed, "It will never be."
Chen Yu and others escorted Liu's father and mother off the plane. When Liu's mother saw Li Lizhen, she was really surprised, "My daughter, why are you dressed like this? It's too plain, not as fashionable as an old lady like me."
Liu Hongmin joked: "Isn't this just to leave a good impression on you?"
"We are not old-fashioned!" Liu's mother grabbed Li Lizhen's hand, "It's enough that you have this intention, but you still have to dress up beautifully so that I can hold my grandson."
"Aunt!" Li Lizhen was a little shy, but she was looking forward to it in her heart.
Hong Kong people are still very traditional in terms of marriage and childbearing, and have always believed that a mother's status is determined by her sons. Those female celebrities who marry into wealthy families are all obsessed with giving birth to sons to maintain their status.
In the evening, Liu Hongmin booked a private room at the Peninsula Hotel and invited Li Lizhen and her family to dinner.
At the dinner table, Liu's father said, "My dear relatives, my eldest brother and Xiaozhen have been in love for several years, and we are very satisfied with Xiaozhen. We want to set the wedding date for the next year. Do you have any opinions?"
Father Li nodded and said, "Father-in-law, we agree with Ah Min and Ah Zhen's marriage. We are also very satisfied with Ah Min. Ah Zhen's birthday is in January. As long as she celebrates her birthday, they can get married anytime."
"That's great! The marriage is settled. I'll ask someone to pick a good date when I return to the capital."
"My dear father-in-law, there are many masters in Hong Kong. We can take a look here first. You have finally come to Hong Kong, so it's a good opportunity to take a look around."
"Sure! I can also take a look at the scenery of Hong Kong."
One side tried to please the other side and the other side was willing to agree. Even though there was a language barrier, the two old men soon started chatting over a cup. Father Liu did not have a high level of education, but he had experienced wars in his early years and had met Professor Mei, who traveled a lot in Beijing, so he had a lot of experience. Although his words still had the rusticity of the Northeast countryside, his words opened Father Li's eyes.
Compared with the vast mainland, Hong Kong is indeed too small.
The two mothers also got together and talked about their families, asking each other how many children the other had, what they were doing, and whether they were worry-free.
The younger generations were much quieter. Li Lizhen's brothers and sisters were not yet adults. They were afraid of Liu Hongmin's power and did not dare to talk to him at all.
Liu Hongmin was very caring towards them. While helping the youngest brother pick up food, he asked about their studies. The children answered one question at a time, as if they were answering the teacher's questions.
Li Lizhen smiled and said, "I can't control these naughty kids sometimes, but I didn't expect them to be so well behaved in front of you."
“Maybe I’m more scary!”
As the saying goes, the place you live changes your temperament and the environment you live in changes your body. Liu Hongmin has been in a high position for several years, and his authority has grown day by day. He looks even more frightening than some child principals.
The marriage was settled in this way. After Liu Hongmin finished dealing with the household affairs, he went to Mingtian Film Company to handle the work.
