Chapter 112 [I Didn’t Say I’d Let You Go]

John's Coffee Shop, Central

The decoration of this coffee shop is not luxurious, it is quiet and tidy, but it is full of customers.

The four of them sat at a round table, surrounded by several other guests. It was not that Chen Fenben was stingy and unwilling to rent a private room, but that this coffee shop didn't have one.

"Mr. Li, you are a smart man. Let me get straight to the point. What do you want in exchange for letting go of Hengyao Real Estate?" Chen Fenben took a sip of coffee and said with a gloomy face. In his eyes, Li Wendi was a scumbag who was thinking of stealing other people's property.

Chen Xingting folded his arms across his chest, his eyes filled with hatred, as if he wanted to eat Li Wendi alive.

Li Wendi smiled faintly, "Mr. Chen, you should have guessed it. I have a partner, so I need him to tell me the specific conditions."

"Okay, call your partner over." Chen Fenben glanced at Li Wendi and Chen Xingzhou. Of course, he would not say anything without evidence. What if it was not his son? Wouldn't that alienate the relationship between father and son?

"No need, he's here." Li Wendi responded.

Before he finished speaking, Chen Fenben and Chen Xingting looked at Chen Xingzhou in unison, hoping that Chen Xingzhou would give them an explanation.

"Father, let's talk about our affairs when we get home. Let's first discuss the affairs of Hengyao Real Estate Company. Otherwise, every extra day means another day of loss." Chen Xingzhou had already practiced this many times, and although he was a little scared, it did not affect his performance.

Chen Fenben suppressed his anger and said to the two of them, "Tell me your conditions."

"We now hold 30% of Hengyao Real Estate Company's shares, having spent nearly 2000 million yuan, while Chen's Jewelry holds 41%. I think Mr. Chen doesn't want to trigger a full acquisition and privatization, so you probably just want to reduce our shareholding."

Seeing that Chen Fenben did not refute, Li Wendi continued, "My plan is to exchange 10% of the shares for the shares of Changheng Real Estate Company held by Chen Jewelry, and 15% will also be transferred to Changheng Real Estate Company. The remaining 5% will be sold to you Chen Jewelry at a price of 5 yuan per share, and the 15% shares I own, including the 5% sold to you, will be sold to Changheng Real Estate Company at a price of 10 yuan per share."

"No! We can't agree to this plan." Chen Xingting immediately objected.

Li Wendi ignored him and looked at Chen Fenben and asked, "This plan has been carefully considered by Mr. Chen and me. I think it is in the interests of both parties. What do you think, Mr. Chen?"

Here, the person who is the most useless in speaking is Chen Xingting, and Li Wendi also doesn't like talking to Chen Xingting.

Chen Fenben lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "I have no objection to exchanging the shares of Changheng Real Estate Company, but I can buy all the remaining 20% ​​at a price of 4.5 yuan."

Li Wendi smiled and looked at Chen Xingzhou, signaling him to start speaking.

"Dad, this is impossible! Share replacement is necessary, and Changheng Real Estate's holding of Hengyao Real Estate cannot be changed." Chen Xingzhou refused. If he lost his current 15% stake, it would be extremely difficult to secretly seize Hengyao Real Estate in the future.

After all, Chen Fenben will keep a close eye on Li Wendi and Chen Xingzhou, so it will be difficult for them to take action without anyone noticing.

"Young man, don't be so confident. I am stronger and more advantageous than you in every aspect. Why should I agree to your conditions?" Chen Fenben began to show his domineering attitude.

"Mr. Chen, you are telling the truth. However, Hengyao Real Estate Company needs to develop. It is not good to have people making trouble all the time. If a stronger opponent appears, it is not impossible for Hengyao Real Estate to change its owner." Li Wendi said calmly with a threatening tone.

Chen Fenben frowned. He had to admit that this was one of the reasons why they were conducting the negotiations. Hengyao Real Estate was the bridgehead for the Chen family to attack the Hong Kong real estate. It had to be developed. Otherwise, there was no point in going public.

He suddenly understood and said to Li Wendi, "Mr. Li owns 15% of Hengyao Real Estate's shares. I am willing to buy them at 4.7 yuan per share. I will discuss the remaining 15% with Xingzhou slowly. However, I have one request. Mr. Li must not attack Hengyao Real Estate again or do anything that is detrimental to Hengyao Real Estate."

"Dad, Mr. Li and I are partners. How can we talk separately?" Chen Xingzhou objected excitedly.

When a father faces off against his son, the son is naturally at a disadvantage. Chen Xingzhou knows that if this happens, his own interests will not be guaranteed.

"Mr. Chen, just as Mr. Chen said, the two of us are partners and one." Li Wendi said with a smile.

4.7 yuan per share is really a bit low.

"Xingzhou, do you think I dare not take action against your Changheng Real Estate?" Chen Fenben's anger began to overflow and he sprayed it directly at Chen Xingzhou.

These words naturally scared Chen Xingzhou. If Chen Fenben really took action, he would not be able to resist.

He began to fear losing everything and becoming the target of oppression by Chen Xingting and others. "Okay, Mr. Li, let's talk about your 15% stake first." Chen Xingzhou rolled his throat a few times, and his voice was not as full as before.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Li Wendi's eyes. Chen Xingzhou still lacked courage. He guessed that Chen Fenben would never turn his capable son into a waste. No matter what, the family business would be left to his son. Unfortunately, Chen Xingzhou couldn't bear it.

"5 yuan per share." Li Wendi naturally wanted more money.

Chen Fenben shook his head and said, "It's only 4.7 yuan per share."

The alliance was broken up, and Chen Fenben naturally gained the upper hand.

"Okay, but I have an extra condition."

"Mr. Li, please speak!"

"My feud with the Chen family ends here. You from the Chen family should not cause trouble to me in the future. If you do, I will not be polite." Li Wendi said with a cold face.

"Of course!" Chen Fenben nodded.

"Then Mr. Chen, please keep an eye on your eldest son." Li Wendi reminded.

So on the same day, the two parties signed an agreement.

Li Wendi received a check for more than 2000 million yuan, which can be said to be a huge profit.

"No wonder Liu (Liu Luanxiong) likes sniping so much. This way of making money is too tempting." Li Wendi sighed.

The next morning, Chen Xingzhou made another appointment with Li Wendi for morning tea and discussed the money earned in the account.

"How did Mr. Chen and Mr. Chen discuss it?" Li Wendi asked seriously.

Chen Xingzhou sighed and said, "Chen Jewelry gave up its shares in Changheng Real Estate Company, but I only got 5% of Hengyao Real Estate's shares, and I didn't get a penny."

"It's already pretty good. It seems that your father still likes your elder brother more." Li Wendi continued to sow discord between the Chen family's father and son.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. I asked you out to ask, if you were me, what would you do next?" Chen Xingzhou asked. Of course, he didn't completely trust Li Wendi, he just hoped to get some inspiration.

"Lie dormant! Wait for the opponent to become slack, then rush forward and bite the prey." Li Wendi said calmly.

"That's right! My father should be very wary of me now, and there's nothing he can do for the time being." Chen Xingzhou changed the subject and said, "Chang Heng Real Estate still owes you the balance of 600 million for the Wan Chai Building, and there's 550 million left in the stock account. Half for each of us is 275 million."

He took out a check from his pocket, handed it to Li Wendi, and said, "Here is the balance of 325 million."

Li Wendi took the check and suddenly came up with a plan. He said with a smile, "If I were you, Mr. Chen, I would cooperate with Hengyao Real Estate. Since your father can see your ability and you can get to know Hengyao Real Estate better, it can be a win-win situation. It's killing three birds with one stone!"

Chen Xingzhou fell into deep thought upon hearing this.

"If I let Hengyao Real Estate grow, then won't I ever have a chance to take it over?"

"If Hengyao Real Estate grows, can't Changheng Real Estate also grow bigger?" Li Wendi smiled.

Chen Xingzhou thought about it and felt that it was true. Only by having a deep understanding of Hengyao Real Estate could he know where to start. "Mr. Li's words make sense. I'll think about it when I get back."

Li Wendi couldn't stop grinning when he saw this. He did say that he would not take action against Hengyao Real Estate, but he did not say that he would not provoke relations among the members of the Chen family and intensify their internal strife.

If this continues, old man Chen Fenben will be pissed off to death sooner or later.
