Chapter 151 152 [The Predecessor of the Miss Hong Kong Beauty Pageant]

Inside the Bao family car

The father and son of the Bao family sat in the back seat together. Bao Ligui had a serious expression on his face, while Bao Qingfan had an angry look on his face. He was still struggling with Li Wendi's attitude. He thought that Bao Ligui was the elder, but Li Wendi treated his elders in such an attitude, which was really uneducated.

"Although Li Wendi did not admit it in person, there is a high chance that it is related to him. This guy is really at odds with the Chen family." Bao Ligui recalled Li Wendi's expression at the time, and became more certain in his heart that Li Wendi was related to what happened in Hengyao Real Estate Company.

Hearing this, Bao Qingfan quickly started to make a noise, "It must be Li Wendi. Who could have such a big grudge against the Chen family? Moreover, Li Wendi is good at setting up schemes and has a way of manipulating the stock market. It's obvious that he is targeting Hengyao Real Estate Company and wants to make a fortune."

Last time, Li Wendi had really screwed the Bao family over, and Bao Qingfan still remembered it vividly. Now that Li Wendi was in trouble, he naturally had to add fuel to the fire and add insult to injury, otherwise how could he vent the anger in his heart.

"Say less of these words. We deal with Li Wendi only out of public interest, not for personal revenge. He targeted the Chen family and made the Chen family in chaos. He is so heartless." Bao Ligui said with a sanctimonious look, but he didn't know that he made his son next to him feel a little disgusted.

Of course, Bao Qingfan would not refute Bao Ligui's words. Instead, he echoed against his conscience, "Yes, we are doing this for the greater good, to eliminate the cancer in Hong Kong and create a good business environment."

So Bao Ligui ordered the driver to change the route and go to the Chen family villa in Deep Water Bay. He wanted to inform Chen Fenben of the news immediately.

The Bao family is unable to deal with Li Wendi, so they can only use the Chen family. Of course, Chen Fenben is also happy to hear this news, otherwise he would not have gone to such great lengths to let Bao Ligui test Li Wendi.

Chen Family Villa
"Mr. Chen, the matter has been concluded." As soon as Bao Ligui saw Chen Fenben, he was the first to speak up and report, "You guessed right, that matter must be related to Li Wendi, and he is even trying to cover it up."

"Mr. Bao, please tell me the whole story." Chen Fenben stopped watering the flowers.

Bao Ligui blinked, as if thinking about something, then nodded and said, "Okay, then Mr. Chen, please judge what Li Wendi means."

So Bao Ligui started telling the story, and Chen Fenben could only hear a general outline, and it was an "artistically embellished" summary.

In fact, Chen Fenben had already subconsciously pinned the blame on Li Wendi, and asked Bao Ligui to test him, just to find a reason to convince himself that he was unwilling to doubt Chen Xingzhou (Chen Xingzhou and Li Wendi have always been co-existing interests).

"What do you think, Mr. Chen?" Bao Ligui asked cautiously. After all, everything he said was half true and half false.

"It's very likely that this is related to Li Wendi. Thank you for your hard work in guaranteeing the birth of the child." Chen Fenben said expressionlessly, "I will arrange for someone to do what I promised to do, and have them implement it as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!" Bao Ligui showed a happy expression on his face, but then asked, "How does Mr. Chen plan to deal with Li Wendi? Will he start with his Changxin Real Estate?"

"Mr. Bao, I haven't thought about these things yet." Chen Fenben replied casually, "Li Wendi is not that easy to deal with."

After the Bao family father and son left, Chen Fenben glanced at the two backs and said in a deep voice, "How can I trust someone who even sells out his relatives for the sake of profit? If I didn't want a reasonable excuse, I really don't want to deal with these two father and son."

In fact, Chen Fenben admires Li Wendi very much. Putting aside the feud between the two families, Li Wendi has reached his current position through his own abilities. Chen Fenben is of course well aware of the hardships and setbacks involved. He has his own interests, but rarely does such disgusting things. Unfortunately, some people are destined to be enemies.

Bao Qingfan was not interested in the scenery outside the window, and asked impatiently, "Does Mr. Chen really believe that Li Wendi is the mastermind?"

Bao Ligui raised his lips and said, "It's not that I believe it, but I have to believe it. Whether it's Li Wendi or not, it doesn't matter anymore. Such a big thing happened to the Chen family. Chen Fenben will eventually find a chicken to kill in front of those monkeys. Otherwise, some people will think that Chen Fenben is really old and really sick and can no longer compete with them."

"Dad, do you mean that it doesn't matter what we say and Chen Fenben just needs an excuse?" Bao Qingfan was a little confused.

Bao Ligui glanced at his son and said helplessly, "What excuse Chen Fenben needs is his business, what we can get is our business. Instead of thinking about these things, you might as well think about how to cooperate well and maximize the benefits." Bao Qingfan immediately stopped asking questions, but he was still thinking about how Chen Fenben would deal with Li Wendi.

Thinking of this, he immediately became full of energy. After all, he had experienced his first "Waterloo" with Li Wendi.

Wednesday, May 11

This day was the day when Cheung Kong Holdings was listed, and the day when Li Huanggua officially stepped onto the Hong Kong stage.

Cheung Kong Holdings is worthy of being one of the five Chinese real estate giants in Hong Kong. As soon as the stock market opened, the share price of Cheung Kong Holdings immediately began to soar, from the public price of 3 yuan to 3.6 yuan, an instant increase of 20%, which shows the degree of recognition of Cheung Kong Holdings by shareholders.

Li Wendi was of course very envious, but after thinking about it, it seemed normal that Li Huanggua started his business in 50 and had worked hard for 20 years to reach his current status. Moreover, if the share price of Cheung Kong Holdings increased a little more, he could make more money.

With an increase of 0.6 yuan, Li Wendi made a profit of 12 yuan, which is a surprising increase.

What surprised Li Wendi was that Zhang Yan somehow got hold of 23 shares of Cheung Kong Holdings, and earned a full 23 yuan in just one morning.

By the afternoon closing, the stock price had risen to 4.8 yuan. Shareholders holding shares of Cheung Kong Holdings cheered at the exchange, as if they were going to overturn the roof of the exchange.

Zhang Yan was also very excited. After all, he had made 41 yuan, which was only the first day's increase. It would be no big deal to make 100 million yuan in the future. So he sat opposite Li Wendi and said proudly, "I made a lot of money today. I'll invite you to the Ritz Nightclub. I heard that Miss Xiangjiang was held at the Ritz Nightclub for the last time. This time, the nightclub owner made it very grand."

The Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant began in 1946 and was initially held at the Ritz Nightclub in the north corner of Hong Kong. It was not until 1973 that it was held by Hong Kong Television Broadcasting Co., Ltd., making Miss Hong Kong a charming business card of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong was at the peak of its development at that time. In fact, the food and clothing of ordinary people were not yet fully guaranteed, so they did not have much time to care about these things. In addition, due to the reputation of nightclubs, Miss Hong Kong was not yet famous.

It was not until the 80s, when Hong Kong's economy took off and people no longer had to worry about food and clothing, that they had the leisure to pay attention to the Miss Hong Kong event. Of course, the scandals created by wealthy men also helped to boost the popularity of the Miss Hong Kong pageant.

Li Wendi shook his head. He seldom went to nightclubs except for necessary social events. "You go ahead. I still have official business to attend to."

"You work all day long. Don't act like an old man. Relax when you need to." Zhang Yan took the opportunity to teach Li Wendi a lesson. "Besides, if you don't go out to consume, Hong Kong's economy will lose a contribution, and the women working hard in the nightclubs will lose an income."

"."

Why does it sound so strange?
Li Wendi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that Zhang Yan had the potential to be a C-sales person. He thought, "It's just for fun, why does he have to say so many reasons?"

"Wendy, are you thinking the wrong thing? The beauty pageant at the Ritz nightclub is very legitimate. Many film companies are going there to look for new talents with potential." Zhang Yan said with a smirk.

Cao!
I've been fooled by Zhang Yan again!
Li Wendi straightened his expression and said, "What can I think of? I've already said that I'm busy with official duties. I'm not like you who thinks about playing every day."

Zhang Yan still looked at Li Wendi with a smirk on his face, as if saying 'it's up to you whether I believe you or not'.

So, under Zhang Yan's constant persuasion, Li Wendi had no choice but to agree to go to the Ritz Nightclub in North Point and take a look at what the original Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant was like, hoping to meet her lucky charm.
