Started from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 176 [No Time to Take]

"Boss, I've already contacted China Entertainment Real Estate Company. Director Wang said he can contribute half of the capital, but our funds can only buy one commercial building, and we can't afford the other three." Zhang Wentao said heavily.

In the early 70s, the Wan Chai area was experiencing a period of rapid development. With so many commercial buildings for sale, it was natural that they would attract the attention of many real estate companies. The competition was expected to be even more intense than that of the Central Building before. After all, Cheung Kong Holdings, which claimed to be the best Chinese real estate company in Hong Kong, was ready to participate.

Li Wendi still wanted to block Cheung Kong Holdings. Although the scale of Cheung Kong Holdings was larger than that of Changxin Real Estate and China Entertainment Real Estate combined, it was not difficult to make Li Huanggua bleed more.

"Go and check which shopping malls are the targets of Cheung Kong Holdings." Li Wendi immediately ordered.

"I see!" Zhang Wentao asked again, "Boss, are you planning to compete with Cheung Kong Industries?"

Facing his confidant's question, Li Wendi nodded and said, "Hong Kong is too small. If we want to develop into a giant, it is inevitable that we will hurt the interests of others. We must also have the courage to challenge ourselves. It is better for us to defeat those reputable companies than to pay for advertising. Once we become famous, the cooperation projects that come to us will far exceed the current benefits."

Zhang Wentao's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. He was lucky to have such an ambitious boss. He could give full play to his ideals and become a leader in the management of Hong Kong's business community. It would be best if everyone could call him "Boss Zhang".

"I will keep a close eye on the activities of Cheung Kong Holdings." Zhang Wentao promised quickly.

Li Wendi shook his head. "Not only should we keep a close eye on Cheung Kong Industries, but we should also make Cheung Kong Industries anxious and let them know that there are many powerful companies competing with them. If they want to take over the commercial building, they will have to bleed heavily."

"Even if we can't take the target shopping mall, we have to make it difficult for our competitors so that we can earn the planned profits from other projects."

In his previous life, Li Jiacheng was very famous and was said to have top-notch vision and ability, which put a lot of pressure on Li Wendi.

Li Wendi has hesitated for a long time about considering Cheung Kong Holdings as a rival. The gap in strength between the two is a bit big. However, Cheung Kong Holdings will be Li Wendi's goal to catch up with in a few years, which will be of great benefit to the company's development.

Saturday, May 12

The temperature in Hong Kong has risen again to 27 degrees Celsius, not much lower than the summer temperature.

So Li Wendi took Huang Lixin, Zhang Yan and his new girl Lu Ning on a sea vacation on the newly bought yacht.

Originally, I wanted to invite He Qijun instead of Huang Lixin, but unfortunately He Qijun was busy with the work of the Qinian Newspaper and had no time to come and visit.

The yacht is not big and can only be considered a small yacht. The price is less than 100 million yuan, which Li Wendi can fully afford. As for luxury yachts, they were not available until the mid-to-late 70s.

It is still necessary to reserve a large amount of cash now, rather than consuming future opportunities for enjoyment.

The yacht was docked in an area with abundant fish. Li Wendi, wearing shorts, threw the fishing line into the sea, ready to catch some big fish.

However, Huang Lixin was not willing to be lonely and wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to her "moneybag" Li Wendi. Before, Li Wendi treated her as a toy and would not stay long after he had exhausted his energy. She had already given up her original idea and only hoped to be a stable "mistress" and thereby successfully leapfrog her status and become a member of Hong Kong's upper class society.

Moreover, Li Wendi is quite handsome. Such a 'first generation of rich people' is a 'good thing' in itself. Once you give up on them, I don't know if you can find someone better than Li Wendi.

"Wendy, let's catch a grouper for lunch." Huang Lixin had changed the address of 'Mr. Li' to 'Wendy'. Knowing that Li Wendi didn't mind, she felt even happier and felt that she was one step closer to her life goal.

"Don't you want to go swimming with them? Fishing is very boring." Li Wendi naturally put his hand on Huang Lixin's white thigh with a slight smile on his lips.

In fact, Li Wendi was thinking while fishing, but with Huang Lixin sitting next to him, it was difficult for him to think.

Women are sometimes troublesome. This is probably the feeling of most anglers.

"I want to go fishing with you." Huang Lixin coquettishly hugged Li Wendi's arm. Li Wendi smiled and said, "Then sit down. If you get bored, go chat with Ayan's girlfriend."

"The report in the newspaper almost scared me to death. You should be more careful next time." Huang Lixin pursed her lips when talking about the Repulse Bay Road shooting case.

Li Wendi's expression was frozen, and his hands kept rubbing on his thighs. "Don't worry, those guys won't have such an opportunity again."

"I don't want to live in the New Territories anymore. Can I move to Mei Foo Sun Chuen? That way it will be more convenient for you to come and see me." Huang Lixin pleaded. She had told Li Wendi about this before, but Li Wendi disagreed.

"Mei Foo Sun Chuen is out of the question. You can choose somewhere else." Li Wendi glanced at Huang Lixin, "You have another choice. I'll give you some money, and you can leave. You can live anywhere you want."

Huang Lixin's expression was dull. After a few seconds, she came to her senses and said to Li Wendi coquettishly, "What? When did I say I was leaving you? I want to be with you forever. If I don't want to go to Mei Foo Sun Chuen, then I won't go. I can live in Causeway Bay, right?"

Li Wendi nodded and said that she would ask someone to help her find a good house.

"I wonder if Miss He will accept me? What will you do if Miss He wants to drive me away?" Huang Lixin hesitated for a long time, but still raised her doubts.

Li Wendi pinched Huang Lixin's chin and gritted his teeth and said, "You really think long-term. Don't worry, Qijun grew up in a big family and understands the rules of the rich family. As long as you don't challenge her, she won't care about your existence."

"As long as you are obedient, you will have no problem living a prosperous life in Hong Kong. However, if you try to fight for things that do not belong to you, you may end up with nothing."

"I have accepted my fate. My family background is not as good as Miss He's, nor are my abilities as good as hers. I just want to stay by your side quietly. Just don't drive me away." Huang Lixin said aggrievedly.

Li Wendi was about to comfort Huang Lixin when Zhang Yan's voice came over, "You are hiding here to fish. Such good weather doesn't come often."

"Fishing is also a form of entertainment, no worse than swimming." Li Wendi replied lightly, and then fished a fish out of the water.

Zhang Yan looked over and said happily, "Today's lunch is settled. This grouper weighs at least two kilograms."

Of course, Li Wendi didn't need to do any work for lunch. There was a bodyguard with a chef's license, and preparing a grouper was just a matter of sprinkling some water on it.

After sending the two women away, Zhang Yan and Li Wendi sat together to fish and talk about business matters.

"I checked. There was an extra 20 yuan in the commander's bank account. It was obvious that he had accepted bribes. However, the orders given by the commander were all in compliance with the rules. It is difficult to get the name of the mastermind from his mouth." Zhang Yan said somewhat dejectedly.

"Let's stop for a while. Our chance will come when our opponent lets down his guard." Li Wendi said, looking at the fish dart.

"Okay!" Zhang Yan changed the subject and said, "The stock market has been so hot recently. I'm a little worried that it will collapse."

Li Wendi smiled and said, "The stock market will definitely collapse, but it's hard to determine the time. If you are afraid, you can consider selling your stocks now. I am also planning to start selling a batch next month and sell them all before March."

"You mean the stock market can't hold out for much longer?" Zhang Yan asked in surprise.

In his impression, Li Wendi has never failed in the stock market, so Li Wendi's words carry a lot of weight.

"Maybe, Ayan, you have to remember, 'Don't make the last penny when doing business, otherwise you will suffer a great loss.'" Li Wendi said earnestly.

"Got it. Then I'll follow your steps and sell all my stocks in March."
