My capital is quite large.

Chapter 173 Li Maozhen

After being reprimanded, Zhang Xinyu became incredibly efficient at handling matters.

In just two days, the senior management of Swire Properties and the prospective owners of other floors of Aoxuan who had previously made reservations were overwhelmed by the money from Haofeng Group.

Tempted by a premium far exceeding the market value, no one would turn down money.

Zhang Xinyu quickly reported to Li Feng that, at the earliest next month, the ownership of the entire twelve-story Aoxuan building would be cleanly transferred to Haofeng Overseas Investment Company.

With the luxury mansion deal finalized, Li Feng wasn't in a hurry to fly back to Jinling.

He stood alone on the viewing platform on the 7th floor of Aoxuan, holding a glass of ice water, looking down at the bustling city known as the "Pearl of the Orient".

Cruise ships crisscross Victoria Harbour, while skyscrapers stand tall in Central.

But Li Feng's brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes revealed a thoughtful expression.

"What in Hong Kong now is worth investing in?" he wondered to himself.

As a reborn individual with the ability to see the future, he understands the trajectory of this city's future.

The area is too small and lacks hinterland and industrial support.

The once-proud Hong Kong film industry? It's long since declined. The online streaming rights to those classic Hong Kong films have already been snapped up by Haofeng Films at rock-bottom prices.

As for Hong Kong stars? There is a serious gap in talent, with not a single capable newcomer. It's all being carried by those old superstars in their fifties and sixties.

Real estate? That's a dead end, firmly controlled by the four major local families, and the profit margins are negligible compared to the internet and semiconductors.

"Without real industry and without an internet DNA, the entertainment industry has also declined..."

Li Feng shook his head. It seemed there really wasn't any prey in this place worth lingering for this crocodile.

However, intuitively, he felt that he was missing something crucial in this place that was known as the world's third largest financial center.

Is it an offshore finance license? Or a breeding ground for Web3 and cryptocurrencies?

Unable to find a clue, Li Feng simply stopped thinking about it.

"Forget it, I'll just treat it as a two-day vacation and travel around this money pit to relax."

……

The afternoon sun lazily streamed into the living room of the large apartment, where Yang Mi was nestled close to Li Feng.

Li Feng hasn't gone out these past two days, so she's naturally been doing everything she can to stay by his side and be affectionate with him.

Although she couldn't do any strenuous exercise while pregnant, she handled serving tea and water, massaging shoulders and legs, and sending flirtatious glances with her foxy eyes perfectly.

"Boss, have a grape~" Yang Mi peeled a grape and gently fed it to Li Feng's lips.

Li Feng opened his mouth to bite down, just as he was about to reach out and put his arm around her waist.

"Buzzing—"

The phone on the coffee table vibrated.

Li Feng picked up his phone and saw a video call request popping up on the screen.

Seeing the green bubble icon of the penguin on the interface, Li Feng couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Pony Ma was indeed under pressure from Haofeng. This WeChat, which changed the social habits of Chinese people in its previous life, was not only launched ahead of schedule in this time and space, but even video calling, a money-burning feature that consumes a lot of server bandwidth, was rushed out by Tencent in an attempt to save face on the mobile end.

It must be admitted that Tencent has a deep technological foundation in social networking and instant messaging among acquaintances, and it is indeed convenient to use.

The caller ID on the screen reads only one word: "Mom".

Li Feng immediately dropped his lazy expression and sat up straight.

He turned his head slightly and gave Yang Mi, who was leaning on his shoulder, a calm look.

Upon meeting the boss's gaze, Yang Mi wisely withdrew from the living room and closed the master bedroom door tightly behind her.

Watching Yang Mi disappear obediently, Li Feng then pressed the answer button.

The screen flickered; the Vancouver sun was a bit too bright.

In the video, the mother, Zhang Xiulan, is lovingly holding a baby wrapped in a high-quality pure cotton swaddle, with the high-security, top-tier maternity center in Canada in the background.

"Xiao Feng! You're off work?" Zhang Xiulan called out to the camera cheerfully.

"Mom, I'm on vacation here. I'm not busy right now." Li Feng looked at the screen, his eyes unconsciously softening.

As Zhang Xiulan brought her phone camera closer, the one-month-old baby appeared clearly in Li Feng's line of sight.

Perhaps because he had just woken up, the little guy's skin looked a bit wrinkled, his eyes were half-closed, and his little hands were waving unconsciously outside the swaddling clothes.

Looking at this somewhat "ugly-cute" little life, Li Feng's heart trembled.

It's a strange feeling!

Having lived two lives, he was ruthless and decisive in the business world, and had crushed countless giants.

But all the sense of accomplishment seems less overwhelming than the little bundle of flesh on the screen, the one with his blood flowing through his veins.

This is the continuation of his life, the future successor of his vast empire.

"Look at this! Its tiny nose and eyes are just like yours when you were born!"

Zhang Xiulan, her face beaming with pride and delight, couldn't help but complain, "You're such a carefree father! The baby's already a month old, and you haven't even thought to fly over and hold him?"

"Yifei is such a sensible girl. She suffered so much during her postpartum period without uttering a single complaint."

Li Feng sighed inwardly and smiled helplessly.

"Mom, I had no choice."

"You know what's going on in China. Right now, my identity is too sensitive, so it's really inconvenient for me to go abroad."

Li Feng explained gently, "In a few months, when the child is a bit older, you and Dad can bring them back to Jinling. I can hold them at home every day, okay?"

Hearing this explanation, Zhang Xiulan knew that her son's career had grown and he had many things beyond his control, so she stopped insisting.

Just then, Old Li, standing beside the camera, interjected impatiently, "Alright, alright, stop thinking so much about making money! The baby's already a month old, and the household registration certificate is still empty!"

"Yifei said you're the head of the household, so you have to decide on the name. Have you thought of a name yet?"

Naming?

Li Feng stopped smiling and pondered for a moment.

This is Li Feng's eldest son, so his name cannot be taken lightly.

"Dad, let's arrange it according to our Li family genealogy," Li Feng said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Old Li on the other end of the video call was taken aback for a moment, then rolled his eyes: "Oh ho! Now that you're rich, you've suddenly decided to trace your ancestry back to the family tree?"

Old Li revealed his son's past: "Back when you got into university, you absolutely hated your name because it sounded so rustic. You insisted on going to the town police station to change it! You said you didn't like the 'Fang' in 'Li Fangfeng' and had it removed, so you changed it to 'Li Feng'."

"What's this? Now that it's your son's turn, you're insisting on going back to the family genealogy and following the rules?"

When his father exposed his dark past to his face, Li Feng blushed slightly and coughed twice in a pretentious attempt to defend himself:

"Ahem... Dad, times have changed."

"Back then, single characters were all the rage, they seemed so neat and tidy. Things are different now. Our family is a prominent household now, we value heritage and tradition! How can we maintain our dignity if we don't follow the family genealogy?"

Li Feng quickly changed the subject: "If I remember correctly, my next generation should have the character 'Mao' in their name, right?"

"You haven't forgotten your roots, kid. That's right, you're from the Mao generation," Old Li confirmed with a snort.

"The character 'Mao' in his name..." Li Feng chewed on the word repeatedly.

Perhaps it's an expectation to break out of the current predicament, or perhaps it's a hope for the future.

Suddenly, a name with a strong sense of regional division flashed through his mind.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, there was a powerful figure who occupied Fengxiang, was enfeoffed as the Prince of Qi, and dared to challenge the Emperor of Tang!

"I've made up my mind."

Li Feng looked at the baby in the video who was still spitting bubbles, and made his final decision, word by word:

"This child's name will be Li Maozhen!"
