Chapter 141 [The He Family’s Crisis]

The bid for Gongbei Building was submitted that morning and the result was announced in the afternoon.

As Li Wendi expected, Dengji Real Estate Company won the bid with a high price of 3500 million yuan, which was only 3350 million yuan less than the second-place Sanqianchi Real Estate Company's 150 million yuan. The price advantage was somewhat weak.

This also made Deng Jiaren breathe a sigh of relief. The value of the Gongbei Bank Building is unquestionable. If he fails to acquire this commercial building, it will be difficult for Deng Ji Real Estate's stock price to increase significantly in a short period of time.

Of course, this bid made Liu Zhifei, the head of Sanqianchi Real Estate Company, very angry, but he could do nothing about it. This was normal business competition, and he couldn't stop others from bidding. However, what worried him was whether the Deng family of Dengji Real Estate Company had discovered that he had lowered the share price of Dengji Real Estate.

Unfortunately, he should not act rashly at this moment, otherwise he would easily be exposed.

A restaurant with piano music
Li Wendi has no research on music. Whether in his previous life or this life, he has been busy making money and has no energy to devote to these hobbies.

"Come on, Wendi, I'll toast you! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to take over this Gongbei Bank building." Deng Jiaren picked up the red wine glass and was about to clink it with Li Wendi. This was also one of Deng Songlian's instructions: being on good terms with Li Wendi is good for the family.

"We are partners, Brother Jiaren, you are too polite." Li Wendi said modestly. Although Deng Jiaren often wanted to take advantage, it was one of his options at the temporary stage because he could still deal with the Deng family.

"I think Liu Zhifei must be pissed off now. We are only 150 million short." Deng Jiaren put down the goblet, a smug look on his face.

In Deng Jiaren's view, this was a revenge on Liu Zhifei and a punishment for the Liu family.

But think about it, the Liu family is quite powerful, and the fact that they were defeated has proven the strength of the Deng family.

Li Wendi doesn't think that's so optimistic. The 3,000-foot real estate company has gathered a large amount of capital and there are so many properties in Hong Kong. If he can't get the Gongbei Building, he can get the Gongnan Building or the Gongxi Building. In any case, if he spends more time, he will always be able to get a suitable property.

"Brother Jiaren, the news that Dengji Real Estate Company bought the Gongbei Building for 3500 million can be hyped up. If done well, the stock price may even double." Li Wendi laughed.

"Well, I have this plan too. I have bribed more than a dozen newspapers. Tomorrow's news headlines will be about Dengji Real Estate, and the stock price will definitely rise." Deng Jiaren said with high spirits.

"I have another good idea. Would you like to hear it?" Li Wendi kept the secret and smiled mysteriously.

Deng Jiaren was immediately interested when he heard this and asked, "What's a good idea?"

"After the hype about buying Gongbei Building at a high price dies down, you can find someone you trust to continue hyping up the price of Gongbei Building and tell the public that 'someone offered 5000 million to buy Gongbei Building'. This way, it will be hard for Dengji Real Estate's share price not to rise." Li Wendi said with a cunning smile. This was the trick used by Chen Songqing, 'Hong Kong's No. Swindler', to establish a super group in his previous life, but Li Wendi just used it in advance.

However, the Gongbei Building is not as good as the Golden Gate Building, so its role will naturally not be as great, but it is enough for Dengji Real Estate Company to achieve the first phase of its take-off.

Li Wendi certainly has his own goals. First, he can recover the funds as soon as possible. Second, he can make a good profit.

He also considered using this trick to expand his capital, but he found that he did not have the ability to clean up the situation, and the economic crisis was about to come. This would become a tightrope walking performance, and if he was not careful, he would immediately go to Stanley Prison to play for a few years.

Hearing this, Deng Jiaren's eyes lit up immediately and he said excitedly, "This is a good idea. We can issue new shares to raise funds, and Deng's Real Estate can at least double its size."

"Brother Jiaren, you have to choose the buyer carefully. He must be capable. Otherwise, if he is questioned by his enemies and causes a commotion, the good will turn into a bad thing." Li Wendi restrained his smile and reminded seriously. He certainly did not want Deng Jiaren to fail.

"Okay, I know this." Deng Jiaren nodded seriously.

Monday, September 10
After two days of excitement, Dengji Real Estate's share price saw its first wave of increases as soon as the market opened in the morning, rising from 1.9 yuan to 2.2 yuan, a 15.8% increase. The situation is very optimistic.

Li Wendi looked at the numbers on the blackboard and smiled with satisfaction. He had already earned nearly 70 million yuan from 120 shares of Dengji Real Estate. It didn't seem difficult to make another 120 million yuan.

Wu Xiong next to him had a frustrated look on his face. He should have not put Dengji Real Estate Company up for sale earlier. Now the price has doubled.

"Mr. Wu, how is the share price of Hang Lung Group?" Li Wendi asked. He knew that Wu Xiong was remembering the lesson he learned from Deng Kee Real Estate.

Wu Xiong calmed down and replied, "Hang Lung's share price has risen to 9.7 yuan. You hold 37 shares and have made a temporary profit of 44.4 yuan. According to estimates by financial experts, Hang Lung's share price can rise to 17 yuan."

Li Wendi nodded. The share price of 17 yuan doubled, and the profit was more than million, which was already very good. Hang Lung Company belonged to the first echelon of high-quality Chinese-funded enterprises, and a doubling of the increase could be easily achieved.

After leaving HSBC, Li Wendi went to a more famous Western restaurant in Central.

"Am I late? Our appointment time is 12 o'clock, right?" Li Wendi looked at the beautiful girl in front of him with a smile on his face.

He Qijun shook her head and said with a smile, "I came early. I just finished discussing business nearby and came here directly."

Li Wendi did some investigation into He Qijun's change of attitude, as it is important to be on guard against others.

The reason is that the head of the He family, He Zefeng, is in poor health and seems to be in danger of dying at any time. He Qijun's father is He Zefeng's eldest son and has always been at the core of power, but the other three younger brothers have been eyeing the He family's assets and all want to get a share of them and get the core industry.

However, his father He Chunting was not good at business and was interested in things like literature, so the status of the He family's eldest branch was somewhat precarious.

He Qijun is very strong-willed and does not want to see her family kicked out of the He family's power core, so she needs to choose a strong backer.

As for choosing Li Wendi, it was really a helpless move, because the people she went on blind dates with were all second-generation people, who did not have much power and were likely to be unable to help in times of crisis.

Li Wendi is different. He relied on his own abilities to get to the top. At the same time, he is not weak and has an extraordinary understanding of magazines. He is a little treasure to He Qijun and can provide financial assistance in times of crisis.

After chatting with He Qijun for a while, Li Wendi took the initiative to ask, "I heard that your grandfather was ill. Is his condition getting better now?"

He Qijun was slightly stunned, and pursed her lips subconsciously, "It's a little better, but the doctor asked Grandpa to stay in the hospital for observation."

Seeing He Qijun's uncomfortable look, Li Wendi didn't believe that He Zefeng's condition had improved, but he understood that He Qijun was unwilling to tell the truth. After all, no one wanted to say that their family was in a bad condition.

"That's good! Just let me know if you need any help. I can do it." Li Wendi made a free promise.

"Hmm!" He Qijun hesitated to speak, and after struggling for more than ten seconds, she finally said, "I want to transfer Handsome to a new newspaper, but I may have to pay a penalty of 100 million, and you need to show up in person."

"Do you want to open a newspaper of your own?" Li Wendi immediately grasped the key.

He Qijun nodded with an unpleasant expression, "The situation within the family is very complicated now. I want to take some precautions. Otherwise, I'm afraid I will be kicked out of Yuanhe Newspaper."

"Well, it's very simple." Li Wendi's face became solemn. "Qijun, let's talk business. I hope to own a part of the shares of the new newspaper. I will use Handsome and another new magazine to invest, and own 40% of the shares. How do you think?"

Li Wendi doesn't want to see He Qijun kick him away after she becomes stronger, so he must control some shares to prevent any crisis from occurring.

He Qijun also nodded, "Okay, the new newspaper still needs some working capital, can you provide it first? When the newspaper is profitable, I will return it to you."

"Okay, how much do you want?" Li Wendi asked with a smile.

"30 million!"

Li Wendi made an OK gesture, "It will be in your account soon."

"Don't be in a hurry!" He Qijun pursed her lips.

"Qijun, if you manage these two magazines well, it won't be a problem to set up a Yuanhe newspaper." Li Wendi reminded. In fact, what Li Wendi wanted to say was that I have the ability to promote you, and I can also suppress you.

I don't know if He Qijun realized Li Wendi's implicit meaning, she just said "I will try my best."
