Chapter 157 Chapter 158 [Sniping the Bao Family Father and Son]

Chen Fenben's attack on Changxin Real Estate Company should have been attributed to the contribution of Bao's father and son. It would take some planning to deal with Chen Fenben, but Li Wendi believed that punishing Bao's father and son could be done at any time.

So the day after he instructs Wang Tichuan to investigate Bao father and son, Li Wendi received news that Bao father and son were planning to imitate his sniper tactics and carry out a sniper-style acquisition of a newly listed real estate company.

Li Wendi almost laughed like a pig. He could vent his anger on the Bao father and son.

So Li Wendi came to the HSBC trading hall and asked Wu Xiong, "Mr. Wu, what's the situation of the stock market today?"

Wu Xiong reported without hesitation, "Today's stock market has a good growth rate. Mr. Li, you will definitely make a lot of money. The share price of Hopewell Industrial Co., Ltd. has risen to 8.7 yuan."

Hearing this, Li Wendi also felt that the upward trend was good, so he told the purpose of today, "Mr. Wu, have you heard that a company called 'Changhua Real Estate' is preparing to go public?"

"Changhua Real Estate?" Wu Xiong searched his mind for a moment, then shook his head. "I need to go back and check to find out. Is Mr. Li planning to launch a new acquisition of Changhua Real Estate Company?"

Wu Xiong knew all the slightly famous company names in Hong Kong. He thought that since the name 'Changhua Real Estate' was so unfamiliar, it should not be a company with special potential. He believed that Li Wendi would not easily pay attention to a small company, so he judged that Li Wendi wanted to acquire it.

"No!" Li Wendi smiled slightly. "I'm not a takeover maniac who has been planning to take over other companies in the same industry. I just heard some rumors that someone is planning to take action against Changhua Real Estate Company and launch a sniper-style takeover."

Wu Xiong was a little confused. What did other people's acquisition cases have to do with Mr. Li? Mr. Li was not a savior, and it seemed that he had no friendship with the people from Changhua Real Estate. What was the reason?

Li Wendi saw Wu Xiong's confusion, but he didn't intend to explain anything to Wu Xiong. He smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, just help me get more subscription shares without alerting the market and other people."

"Understood!" Wu Xiong added, "I'll check this company first and get back to Mr. Li later."

"Okay, then I'll sit here for a while." So, Li Wendi picked up today's newspaper and read it leisurely.

Nearly an hour later, Wu Xiong came back with a document. "This is some information about Changhua Real Estate Company. It may not be complete."

"Changhua Real Estate is preparing to be listed on the Kowloon Stock Exchange on November 11. New shares have already been subscribed. According to my estimate, we can probably get 20 million shares, accounting for about 400%, and it will cost 10 million yuan."

"The founder of Changhua Real Estate will be the largest shareholder, holding 37.8%, which is not a safe proportion."

"10% is not enough. Mr. Wu needs to pay more attention to this matter. It would be best if we can get more than 15% of the shares." Li Wendi said, "Please also ask Mr. Wu to investigate how many shares of Changhua Real Estate Company the Bao Ligui family has obtained. It would be best if you can get a specific number."

Wu Xiong suddenly understood the purpose of Li Wendi's action. Bao Ligui is not the boss of Changhua Real Estate Company, and Li Wendi said it was not an acquisition action. Obviously, Li Wendi wanted to target Bao Ligui's family.

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will do my best." Wu Xiong said.

Wu Xiong has done many projects of this kind, so naturally Li Wendi doesn't need to worry about anything.

So, Li Wendi gave a few instructions and left the HSBC trading hall.

Back at Changxin Real Estate Company, Zhang Wentao and Wang Tichuan came together, with a hint of joy on their faces.

"Boss, Hengyao Real Estate Company has fallen into the trap. In the past few days, Hengyao Real Estate Company has spent at least 500 million more. If this continues, Hengyao Real Estate will not be able to hold on for much longer." Zhang Wentao said with a smile.

Wang Tichuan was a little more prudent. "In terms of land, Hengyao Real Estate has also spent a lot of money. Even if we sell it in a short period of time to recover the funds, there will still be a certain loss."

Li Wendi smiled. "Very good. You should pay more attention to Hengyao Real Estate Company in terms of properties and land. We try to reduce the acquisition of properties and land. The main reason is that our company already has a lot of properties and land, and the funds need to be further concentrated."

"Yes!" The two responded in unison.

"Boss, I received news that Hengyao Real Estate Company is planning to buy a small commercial building in Central. Can we bid appropriately?" Zhang Wentao said seriously, "The owner of this commercial building wants 3500 million."

Once the bidding begins, 3500 million is naturally impossible. Referring to the Gongbei Building, perhaps the final price will be around 5000 million. Li Wendi knows Zhang Wentao's concerns. He is afraid that the building will be bought by Changxin Real Estate at a high price, which will increase the burden on the company. However, he cannot let Hengyao Real Estate Company succeed in the acquisition easily.

"Announce to the public that Changxin Real Estate Company will participate in the bidding, and at the same time accidentally leak our offer to company employees. I think 4300 million is a suitable price." Li Wendi said after thinking for a while.

"I understand!" Zhang Wentao said with a smile.

The two of them reported in detail the progress of the important projects in each other's hands, and the three of them discussed until lunch time.

Soon, news came from Wu Xiong that he had helped subscribe to 420 million shares of Changhua Real Estate Company, accounting for 10.5%, while the Bao family father and son held approximately 890 million shares of Changhua Real Estate, accounting for 22.5%, a difference of 15.3% from the largest shareholder.

In Li Wendi's opinion, this gap is not difficult to fill. After all, the Bao father and son are in the dark, while Zhu Changhua, the boss of Changhua Real Estate Company, is in the light.

So, Li Wendi used some connections to ask Zhu Changhua out and wanted to tell him the plan of Bao's father and son.

A teahouse in Central

The water in the kettle was boiling, a lot of white steam was coming out, and the room was very warm.

"Mr. Li is a rising star in the real estate industry. Why do you have so much free time to ask me out for tea?" The middle-aged man with a bald head and dark skin said with a chuckle. Li Wendi's reputation is almost known to everyone in the real estate industry, of course it is a bad reputation.

Li Wendi smiled, not really paying attention to the sarcasm in Zhu Changhua's words. "I asked Zhu Sheng out this time because I have something very important to tell him. I heard that Zhu Sheng's Changhua Real Estate Company is about to be listed on the stock market."

Zhu Changhua frowned and glanced at Li Wendi. Could it be that this guy wanted to snipe my Changhua Real Estate? If so, it would be really troublesome and the stock price would be difficult to rise.

"What do you want, Mr. Li? I haven't offended you, have I?"

"This is the first time that Zhu Sheng and I have met, so there is no hatred between us." Li Wendi first poured a cup of hot tea for Zhu Changhua, and then poured some for himself. "I met with Zhu Sheng this time because I wanted to do you a favor. Of course, it also depends on whether Zhu Sheng needs it."

Zhu Changhua frowned even deeper, thinking that Li Wendi wanted to extort money from him. "Mr. Li, just make your offer. I won't refuse anything I can give you."

Zhu Changhua felt that he was unlucky. Why was he targeted by such a person? He thought to himself that as long as Li Wendi didn't go too far, he would accept it.

Li Wendi smiled and said, "Mr. Zhu, you misunderstood. I am not here to threaten you. Please take a look at this information first."

Zhu Changhua took the document doubtfully and read through it carefully.

"Bao Ligui? Where did this guy come from?" Zhu Changhua slammed the document shut, anger bursting in his eyes.

"Zhu Sheng, to be honest, Bao Ligui is my uncle-in-law."

"Then why did Mr. Li help me instead of helping his relatives?" Zhu Changhua asked.

"Mr. Zhu should have heard about the feud between me and Chen Fenben's family and Hengyao Real Estate Company. Bao Ligui is on good terms with Chen Fenben and even helps Chen Fenben deal with me. Naturally, I can't let it go." Li Wendi said with a gloomy face.

"I see." Zhu Changhua let down his guard a little, "Then how does Mr. Li want to cooperate?"

"I will help Zhu Sheng counter the sniper attack on Bao Ligui. Zhu Sheng owes me a favor, and I can also make some profit from the stock market." Li Wendi simply stated the plan.

"I accept this favor, but when I repay the favor, Mr. Li's request cannot exceed my ability. If it is excessive, I can refuse." Zhu Changhua said seriously.
