Chapter 154 155 [You must be obedient]

On the morning of the third day, several newspapers jointly published an article with the headline "In just less than a month, Gongbei Bank Building was resold for 5500 million yuan", with the subtitle "Profit as high as 2000 million yuan".

The article reported in detail the assets, development prospects and plans of Dengji Real Estate Co., Ltd., but said relatively little about the transaction. As for the buyer, Changxin Real Estate Co., Ltd., it was only mentioned briefly.

Of course Li Wendi didn't care about these little things. This was a special event for Dengji Real Estate Company, and it was good enough that Changxin Real Estate Company could show up.

In Li Wendi’s memory of his previous life, after the economic crisis in the 70s, fewer and fewer commercial buildings in Central were for sale, because those real estate developers knew that commercial buildings in Central could be regarded as heirlooms or the company’s foundation.

Therefore, it is more cost-effective to purchase the Central Commercial Building at this time. Even in an economic crisis, the price of the Central Commercial Building will not drop too much. A 30% share is already very heavy.

Under the hype of Dengji Real Estate Company, the share price of Changxin Real Estate Company began to rise, from 3.5 yuan to 3.8 yuan. The increase was not large, and the market value increased by 750 million yuan, which was an unexpected surprise.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Changxin Real Estate Company announced a plan to issue new shares in the hope of gaining approval from a small number of shareholders.

Unexpectedly, shareholders responded positively to the new shares issued by Changxin Real Estate Company, and the 260 million shares issued on the first day were fully subscribed.

Zhang Wentao asked Li Wendi whether he would take out all the 240 million shares?

However, Li Wendi refused by waving his hand. He was well aware of the "hunger marketing" strategy invented by Lei Jun in later generations, and he had many enemies. If he sold 240 million shares, he would hold 41% of the shares. If there was any disturbance, he would worry about the control of Changxin Real Estate Company. With these 240 million shares, his shareholding would reach 49%, and no one could shake his control over Changxin Real Estate Company.

With this operation, Kanghe Building has completely belonged to Changxin Real Estate Company. However, there are some problems with the 1200 million yuan paid to Dengji Real Estate. Changxin Real Estate Company is short of funds, so Li Wendi used his personal funds to pay part of the payment on behalf of Changxin Real Estate.

When the contract was signed, the Gongbei Bank Building completely belonged to Changxin Real Estate Company. However, the 1500 million yuan loan from the bank was also transferred to Changxin Real Estate. Together with some loans for previous property acquisitions, the debt of Changxin Real Estate Company reached 2400 million yuan, and the debt ratio exceeded 20%. According to Li Wendi's judgment, the debt ratio is still within a stable and safe range.

At this point, Changxin Real Estate owns two high-quality small commercial buildings in Central, among which the Gongbei Building is the most to Li Wendi's liking.

According to the historical development trajectory of the previous life, Cheung Kong Holdings would acquire the American-owned Wing Gao Company in 76. The company owned the Hilton Hotel in Central, Hong Kong (adjacent to the Gongbei Building), and then acquired the property next to it to build the Cheung Kong Center.

Li Wendi naturally wanted to seize this opportunity instead of allowing Li Huanggua to grow and develop recklessly. After all, Li Huanggua's vision was not exaggerated. Li Wendi could only make some arrangements within his ability from the perspective of a "prophet".

Influenced by this transaction of a small commercial building in Central, a new round of competition started for commercial buildings in Central. Although the increase was not as dramatic as that of Gongbei Building, it also reached a new historic height with an increase of 12%, making many real estate developers earn a fortune.

Dengji Real Estate Company and Changxin Real Estate Company are undoubtedly the biggest winners. On the surface, Dengji Real Estate Company is better than Changxin Real Estate. After all, the stock price of Dengji Real Estate Company has increased dramatically. At the same time, it issued 1000 million new shares and raised up to 4000 million yuan.

Office of the Qinian Newspaper

"Mr. Li, today is the interview session for the new issue of the magazine girls. Do you want to interview the candidates in person?" Zhao Xi asked with a straight face. She had already inquired about Li Wendi's background, and she was a little surprised to find out that her boss was actually the leader of the Young and Dangerous gang and owned a listed company. No wonder no Young and Dangerous gangsters in North Point dared to come to his house to collect protection fees.

Li Wendi thought about it and realized that he had some free time and could participate in something like this, so he nodded and said, "Give me their information and notify them to come to the office for an interview."

"Okay, I'll notify them right away." Zhao Xi is decisive and meticulous in his work.

A moment later, Zhao Xi brought a familiar-looking woman into the office, "Mr. Li, the first candidate is here."

"Well, please take a seat!" Li Wendi just flipped through the information and looked up at the magazine girl. His expression froze. He said to Zhao Xi, "Secretary Zhao, go do whatever you want. I can interview them by myself."

"I understand. Call me if you have anything." Zhao Xi left the office. Of course, she guessed that Li Wendi had a complicated relationship with the interviewer, otherwise why would she suddenly let her leave.

However, she was just a small secretary, so it was best for her to pretend that she knew nothing about the bosses' affairs. "Miss Huang, we meet again." Li Wendi saw Zhao Xi close the door, and then spoke to Huang Lixin in a serious tone.

Huang Lixin was not stupid. Li Wendi's attitude showed everything. "Yes, Mr. Li! Actually, I really didn't know that Mr. Li was the boss of the Qinian Newspaper, and I didn't know I would meet Mr. Li. I just wanted to find a job and make a name for myself."

Li Wendi didn't believe a word of Huang Lixin's explanation. It was crazy for this woman to want to be with a rich man and become famous, otherwise she would not have participated in the beauty pageant at the Ritz Nightclub.

"Ms. Huang, you are a smart person, so I will cut the crap. You and I have been just playing around from the beginning, and I already have a wife. If you do anything that is detrimental to my family, I don't think you can bear the consequences." Li Wendi warned and threatened directly.

Huang Lixin had already found out about Li Wendi's background. She couldn't help but tremble a little at this moment. However, her desire to get promoted drove her to clench her fists, dispel her fear, and said in her throat, "Mr. Li, I really need this job. I'm not threatening you. If Mr. Li can make me famous, I can be your lover."

Seeing the displeasure on Li Wendi's face, Huang Lixin immediately explained, "I just want to be famous. Don't worry, I won't disturb your family."

Li Wendi stared at Huang Lixin and said, "Miss Huang is a beauty. If you want to use my influence to make money, you can, but I used to be a gangster. It's very easy for me to disappear."

"I know Mr. Li, I just want to make money." Huang Lixin was a little afraid of Li Wendi.

It was not difficult for gangsters of this era to kill an ordinary person, so Huang Lixin was naturally afraid of angering a wealthy former gang member like Li Wendi.

Li Wendi felt that he had warned her enough, so he put on a smile, walked behind Huang Lixin, glanced at the little bear, and said, "As long as you don't cross the line, I can give you money and fame."

Huang Lixin's looks are not as good as beauties like Guan Jiahui and Li Jiaxin, but she is also first-rate. Moreover, Huang Lixin gave her first time to Li Wendi. Li Wendi thought it was much better than finding other women because Huang Lixin was cleaner.

Hearing Li Wendi's gentle voice, Huang Lixin immediately felt relieved, knowing that she had already hooked up with Li Wendi.

"I will first arrange for you to be the cover girl of "Handsome". In the future, it will be no problem for you to shoot commercials and movies. But you must be obedient. As long as you are obedient, you will have everything." Li Wendi said softly in Huang Lixin's ear, and the hot air from his mouth sprayed on her neck, which was a little itchy.

"Thank you, Mr. Li! I will be obedient and do whatever you ask me to do." Huang Lixin quickly expressed her loyalty.

"Okay, you go back first. I'll have someone notify you later about the time to shoot the cover." Li Wendi sat back in the original leather chair.

"Yes, Mr. Li!" Huang Lixin forced a smile on her face, said "goodbye" to Li Wendi, and left the office.

Li Wendi stroked his chin, looked at the pretty figure, and said with a smile, "The life of rich people is really dull and boring. Women always come to them on their own. Money is really a good thing."

Those famous beauties in the previous life had not grown up completely yet. Li Wendi remembered that only one, Zhao Yazhi, won the fourth place in the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant in 73. The others had to wait until after the 80s.

Li Wendi believes that Zhao Yazhi is a materialistic woman who is only suitable for keeping for a period of time and is not worth owning for a long time.

Soon, Li Wendi drove all these considerations out of his head, hung up the phone, and asked Zhao Xi to call the next candidate in for an interview.

With Huang Lixin as the designated candidate, Li Wendi only asked a few simple questions and told them to go back and wait for news. The interview time was controlled within 5 minutes.

After all, Li Wendi didn't want to waste too much time on these things.
