Chapter 150 151 [Poor skills in making conversation]

"It's a very simple condition. I hope that once our transaction is completed, I can send someone to the site to learn about this shopping mall." Li Wendi laughed. The construction of a shopping mall was not that simple. He also needed a chance to understand the intricacies involved.

"Haha!! This is not a problem. I agree." Li Fushu also agreed readily.

In fact, Li Wendi also had another very important purpose, which was to establish a good relationship with the Bank of East Asia and lay the foundation for future loans.

Or maybe he needed to compete with Liu Luanxiong for Chinese Estates Holdings in 86, and by then Li Fook Shue could be of great help.

Of course, the possibility of taking over Chinese Estates Holdings is still very low. After all, there is a gap of more than ten years in between. There is a high probability that Li Wendi has grown into a tycoon in Hong Kong's business world, and the gap between him and Liu Luanxiong is probably difficult to make up.

Today, Li Wendi has set his sights on the China Entertainment Real Estate Company, which was under the Chinese Estates Holdings Company in his previous life, because this company owns a small commercial building in a good location in Central and a large number of restaurants, which can be used to expand the scale of Changxin Real Estate Company.

Tuesday, March 10

"Tiantian Daily" finally stopped publishing news about the Chen family and Hengyao Real Estate Company, and replaced it with other news headlines. It seemed that Wei Jianbang had made peace with the Chen family. As for how much he paid, outsiders had no way of knowing.

Li Wendi would naturally not be so idle as to mess with the Chen family and Hengyao Real Estate. After all, if he took action at this time, it would most likely backfire.

The relevant departments of the Hong Kong government issued an official document stating that Chen Xingting did not misappropriate funds from Hengyao Real Estate Company and that previous rumors were untrue.

Rumors that Chen Fenben was ill made headlines, and although the share price of Hengyao Real Estate Company stopped falling, there was still no sign of rising.

Li Wendi couldn't help but smile when he saw such bizarre news. He said to himself, "This kind of connections is really amazing. He can even buy off the Hong Kong government departments. Forget Wei Jianbang. A businessman will never go against money."

He knew that Chen Fenben had solved Chen Xingting's problem, and the next step was to raise the share price of Hengyao Real Estate, so he immediately picked up the phone and dialed HSBC. "Hello! Is this Mr. Wu? I'm Li Wendi!"

"Mr. Li, do you want to ask about the stock acquisition of Hengyao Real Estate Company?" Wu Xiong asked on the other side. He certainly knew that the Chen family had solved the "embezzlement case", which meant that the stock price of Hengyao Real Estate would start to rise, and Li Wendi must have bought too much.

Hearing the word "yes", Wu Xiong quickly reported, "I have secretly bought 58 shares, spending 197 million yuan. If nothing unexpected happens tomorrow, I estimate that I can continue to buy 30 shares."

"Okay, then I'll trouble Mr. Wu." Li Wendi hung up the phone, but his face became solemn.

He was wondering how Chen Fenben would end this battle.

Now that he has bought a lot of Hengyao Real Estate shares, it will be more beneficial for Li Wendi to increase the stock price as soon as possible.

Repulse Bay Villas

As soon as Li Wendi walked to the door, he heard loud chatting sounds coming from inside the house. The voice of the person seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

When Li Wendi saw the guest's face clearly, the faint smile froze in vain, and he said, "It turns out that my cousin and her husband are here. I thought I heard it wrongly."

When Qian Ying saw Li Wendi, she immediately flattered him, "Wendi, you're back. I was just talking to your mom about you. She said you've made a lot of money and are becoming more and more successful."

Qian Ying's words made Li Wendi sneer. When the Li family was poor, they had never visited them once. Now they want to recognize him as a relative. It's just that they saw that he acquired Changxin Real Estate (formerly known as Wanhui) and wanted to come and ask for some favors.

If it weren't for Guo Cuiting's kindness and generosity, no one would have a good face towards such relatives, let alone have a lively chat with them.

"Please sit down for a while. I still have some official business to take care of. Sorry!" Li Wendi lowered his head and walked towards the stairs without waiting for a reply, wanting to go up to the study on the second floor.

Guo Cuiting suddenly said, "Wendy, your cousin's husband wants to talk to you about something. If the business is not urgent, talk to your cousin's husband first."

Li Wendi paused, wanting to refuse, but when he turned around, he saw Guo Cuiting's pleading eyes and softened his heart, "Okay, cousin, let's talk in the study."

So, Bao Ligui and Bao Qingfan followed Li Wendi into the study, and Li Wendi asked them to sit down in the sofa area.

"If you have anything to say, just say it directly, it's not the first day we've dealt with each other." Li Wendi poured a glass of water for the father and son. "I heard that your Changxin Real Estate Company has acquired a lot of land in Causeway Bay, one of which is on Jardine's Street, which happens to be connected to the land I bought, so I came to ask if you are interested in cooperation?" Bao Ligui's attitude was much lower, not as high-handed as before.

"Uncle, I'm sorry! Changxin Real Estate has been buying up properties on a large scale recently. We don't have sufficient funds, nor do we have plans to develop the land on Jardine Street." Li Wendi refused outright. He really didn't want to have any cooperation with the Bao family. After all, this family is a group of profit-seeking scum who would even sell out their own relatives as long as the benefits were enough.

Bao Qingfan's face began to look unhappy, and his eyes turned unfriendly when he looked at Li Wendi. He seemed to have forgotten that he was in the Li family's villa, not his Bao family's residence.

"Wendy, there is no need for Changxin Real Estate Company to provide funds. My Bao family can provide all the funds. However, I hope to get a preference on the profits generated by the project, 30% to 70%. How about it?" Bao Ligui said shamelessly.

"Great! I didn't expect my cousin to be so generous and give me 7% of the profits. Thank you so much!" Li Wendi pretended not to understand.

Hearing this, Bao Ligui's face flushed a little, "Wendy, you misunderstood. You took 3% of the profit."

"Oh! Is that so?" Li Wendi said with a smile, "Then there is no need to cooperate. Everyone knows that the land price in Causeway Bay will become more and more expensive. Jardine's Street is the central area of ​​Causeway Bay. I'd better wait until I have sufficient funds before developing it."

"If the profit sharing is not to your liking, we can discuss it again." Bao Ligui guessed that Li Wendi would not agree, but negotiations definitely required room for maneuver.

"I want 7% of the profits. Will my uncle-in-law give it to me?" Li Wendi said with a faint smile.

"Wendy, we come here today with sincerity, and we are relatives, so can't we just have a good talk?" Bao Qingfan, who had been planning for a long time, finally spoke.

Li Wendi sneered, "So what you mean is that no matter what, I have to agree to your cooperation intention today?!"

Bao Ligui said quickly, "When doing business, we naturally don't force people to buy or sell. How about a 40% to 60% profit split?"

"I'll take 60% and you'll take 40%?" said Li Wendi.

Bao Qingfan wanted to speak again, but Bao Ligui stopped him by waving his hand, "Let's split it 50-50, but there's a condition."

"Oh? What conditions?" Li Wendi was a little curious and wanted to hear what tricks Bao Ligui was up to.

"Can you tell me honestly whether the recent events at Hengyao Real Estate Company have anything to do with you?" Bao Ligui asked seriously.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" The smile on Li Wendi's face became even brighter. It turned out that the previous cooperation was a cover, and they were waiting for me here.

"It has nothing to do with me! How could I possibly know such a secret matter?"

"But there are rumors out there that it was you who did it and planned it behind the scenes." Bao Qingfan interrupted again.

"Cousin, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll sue you for defamation." Li Wendi spoke in a joking tone, but both father and son knew that Li Wendi was warning them.

"Wendy, we are all relatives. We will help you with anything you need, but you have to tell us the truth, otherwise we don't know where to start." Bao Ligui said with the earnest look of an elder.

"I'm telling the truth. Doesn't my cousin-in-law even believe me? Does he have to put the blame on me?" Li Wendi said, staring at Bao Ligui.

Bao Ligui looked a little flustered, and changed the subject, "What do you think about the cooperation?"

"Not very good." Li Wendi said expressionlessly.

"Well, call me when you're interested."

So the Bao father and son left the study.

It was not until the eve of dinner that the Bao family began to leave the villa.
