Chapter 130 [The Trend is Determined]

Li Wendi lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked, "How many shares did that mysterious account acquire?"

Wu Xiong was stunned for a moment, then he understood Li Wendi's question and replied, "About 510 million shares, accounting for 10.2%."

The total is 37%, which is equivalent to the Liu family’s shareholding. Obviously, Monday will be a bloody battle.

"Based on your experience, Mr. Wu, how much loan can I get from your bank?" Li Wendi asked with a slight sigh. The acquisition battle would eventually come to this point.

"At most 1500 million!" Wu Xiong judged.

"That should be enough. I would like to ask Huodoli Company to be the consultant for the acquisition. Could you please help me contact them, Mr. Wu?" Li Wendi believed that as Huodoli Company was a subsidiary of HSBC, Wu Xiong should be able to help him save some trouble.

"Okay, then Mr. Li, are you going to apply for a loan now?" Wu Xiong asked.

"Wait a minute, let me ask my partner's opinion." Li Wendi immediately picked up the phone and dialed Deng Jiaren.

Deng Jiaren had no objection to this and would arrive at HSBC before 4:.

Naturally, this loan was jointly borne by Starlight Real Estate and the Deng family's company.

After the loan agency was completed, Li Wendi and Deng Jiaren found a coffee shop to discuss the matter.

"Why did you sell a large number of stocks at 3 o'clock?" Deng Jiaren said in a rather unfriendly tone. He thought that Li Wendi was taking a pure risk. If they lost millions of shares, they would never be able to successfully take over the -foot real estate company.

"Because the Liu family's funds were already short at 3 o'clock, I planned to lower the stock price and use the profits from the sales to buy more stocks. Unfortunately, it was too late." Li Wendi said in a light tone. In his opinion, Deng Jiaren's opinion was not important at all. It was agreed that he would take the lead.

Deng Jiaren knew that pursuing responsibility would be futile and would only disrupt Li Wendi's confidence, so he changed the subject and said, "The combined share of stocks we have on hand only accounts for 37%, while the Liu family has 38%, which is only 1%. However, the Liu family has not yet made any efforts, so we will have to wait and see on Monday. If we fail, and we have so many stocks on hand, how do you plan to sell them and get back your investment?"

"We can only ship the products slowly, and we can also recover some funds in the process." Li Wendi told the truth.

Deng Jiaren nodded, unable to say anything. There are always risks in acquisitions.

Of course, Deng Jiaren is more worried about the 10% of the stocks he has on hand, but he probably won't let them get stuck with anything. After all, the Liu family will not allow the stock value of the Three Thousand Feet Real Estate Company to be too low.

In fact, Li Wendi did not express some of his thoughts, such as that even if they failed, the Liu family would not allow them to hold so many stocks, and they would definitely discuss the whereabouts of these stocks.

An enemy holding so many shares would make the Liu family hesitate in running the Sanqianchi Real Estate Company. They would not dare to devote themselves to developing the company for fear of becoming a scapegoat for Li Wendi.

Monday, September 9
Dairy Farm International published an advertisement, clearly expressing its rejection of the acquisition plan of Hong Kong Land Holdings and continuing to call on shareholders not to accept the acquisition proposal of Hong Kong Land Holdings.

Suddenly, the direction of the acquisition war became clearer, and the stock prices of the two companies began to rise sharply again.

At the same time, Dachang Real Estate announced its listing, and its stock price skyrocketed as soon as it opened, from a subscription price of 4 yuan to 4.5 yuan.

However, Li Wendi did not have the energy to pay attention to these things. He was wholeheartedly engaged in a small-scale acquisition war with Liu Xiangtian's family.

"Mr. Wu, notify the salesperson to list 3 million shares for purchase at 300 yuan." Li Wendi saw that the time was almost 9:.

"Mr. Li, the closing price of Sanqianchi Real Estate Company last Friday was 2.5 yuan. The price you offered has increased by 0.5 yuan. Can it be lowered a bit?" Wu Xiong suggested weakly.

"Just follow this price." Li Wendi refused flatly. If he bought 300 million shares, his shareholding would reach 43% (including Deng Jiaren's shares), and the Liu family would be at a disadvantage.

"Okay, then, I'll notify the salesperson right away." Wu Xiong didn't dare to persuade him anymore. Li Wendi seemed a little angry.

As expected, as soon as the stock market opened, the Liu family frantically bought up stocks, offering prices that were only 0.2 yuan higher than the market price.

Compared with the 3 yuan offered by Li Wendi, the price of 2.7 yuan was not attractive at all, so a large number of shareholders sold their shares to Li Wendi, and 20 million shares were purchased in just 123 minutes.

Seeing this, Liu Zhifei did not dare to delay at all and immediately asked someone to list the purchase price of Sanqianchi Real Estate at 3.1 yuan. Unfortunately, Li Wendi guessed his thoughts and took the lead in raising the purchase price to 3.5 yuan.

Smart investors discovered the trick and began to sell their stocks reluctantly, waiting for the stock price to rise again. However, Li Wendi still bought 3.5 shares at 90 yuan. Liu Zhifei only bought 68 shares, 145 million less than Li Wendi. However, Liu Zhifei knew that Li Wendi held 1553 million shares, accounting for only 31%, while the Liu family held 39.36%, 8.36% more than Li Wendi.

39.36% of the shares are not very safe, so Liu Zhifei still wants to purchase about 5% of the shares to complete the absolute control of Sanqianchi Real Estate Company.

What Li Wendi could not have imagined was that in order to purchase 5% of the shares, Liu Zhifei directly raised the stock price to 4.5 yuan.

Li Wendi was even less afraid and raised the share price to 4.6 yuan, and spread the word that only 200 million shares needed to be purchased to complete the acquisition.

So Li Wendi successfully acquired 200 million shares, accounting for 35% of the shares.

Liu Zhifei asked his subordinates to check again and again, but they could only calculate that Li Wendi held a 35% stake. However, he did not think that Li Wendi was bluffing, because if he wanted to control Sanqianchi Real Estate, he could only do so by relying on a high shareholding ratio.

Finally, he discovered that another account had purchased at least 12% of the shares. Liu Zhifei was shocked to find that he had lost the -foot real estate company.

Unwilling to give up, Liu Zhifei roared at his subordinates to investigate the mysterious account. He hoped that the account was not Li Wendi's, so there would still be room for maneuver.

After calming down, Liu Zhifei remembered what Li Wendi had said about the partner, and hope began to grow in his heart. He thought that as long as he could convince the partner, Li Wendi might give in.

After completing the acquisition, Li Wendi slumped in his chair. Wu Xiong smiled and congratulated him, "Congratulations, Mr. Li, you finally have a listed company!"

Li Wendi cried and laughed, "This is not my company! I'm just an employee, I just want to make a little extra money."

"Anyway, it's all cause for celebration." Wu Xiong said with a smile.

Li Wendi immediately took out his checkbook, wrote a check and handed it to Wu Xiong, saying, "Here is 3 yuan, go and divide it with your people."

"Thank you, Mr. Li!" Wu Xiong took the check with a bright smile.

"I'll have to trouble Mr. Wu to keep an eye on the stock market for me." Li Wendi took back the checkbook.

"This is my duty. Mr. Li, you are too polite." Wu Xiong said modestly.

"Tell me about Dachang Real Estate, Sun Hung Kai Properties, Hong Kong Land and Dairy Farm International." Li Wendi smiled and said, "I haven't paid attention to these four companies for a few days."

Wu Xiong took out his notebook and reported to Li Wendi, "Dachang Real Estate went public today, and its share price has risen to 5 yuan; Sun Hung Kai Properties' share price is 7.2 yuan, up 2.2 yuan, a 31% increase, and the growth is still amazing; Hong Kong Land's share price is 107 yuan, and the growth is relatively slow; Dairy Farm International's share price is 254 yuan, and the growth has not changed much."

"What about Hopewell Industries?" Li Wendi thought for a moment and then asked.

"8.6 yuan, the profit has increased six times." Wu Xiong wanted to take credit for it.

Li Wendi felt a little nervous when he remembered that all his funds were gone and he still owed a loan of 1400 million yuan. So he asked Wu Xiong about the stocks of those small listed companies.

Wu Xiong also answered the questions one by one and shared some insights.

"Then let's sell all the stocks of those small companies. I just need some funds to support myself." Li Wendi made a decision immediately.

"Okay, the stocks of those small listed companies can probably bring back about 440 million, and the profit is 180 million." Wu Xiong gave a brief report.

Li Wendi nodded to indicate that he understood.

These small companies can only make limited money, and their stock prices are unlikely to rise very high. If you don't sell them at this time, your funds will be trapped, which seems to be a bit of a disadvantage, because money is useless if it can't make money.

440 million yuan is enough for Li Wendi to make ends meet for a while, at least until the end of the cattle-buying war, and he can even invest in the stocks of some small listed companies.

As for the five stocks in hand, it will take some time before I can sell them, and the longest time will be until the end of the year or early next year.
