Started from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 179 179 [The final madness]

According to the historical development trajectory of the previous life, there were still two months before the fake stock incident of Hopewell Holdings occurred, which would trigger a major stock market crash. At this time, it was already January 2.

Li Wendi was of course somewhat afraid of the "butterfly effect" caused by his rebirth. If the "fake stock incident" happened earlier, his investment in the stock market would face great losses. He started selling in January, even though the price difference was not small, he could accept it.

At this time, stock speculation was very frenzied. Some high-quality company stocks had a situation of "there were buyers but no sellers". Citizens who had previously worked honestly also entered the stock market, "flocking" to grab and hold stocks. Seeing the stock prices on the exchange continue to rise, investors were no longer satisfied with a one-cent increase.

The stock market frenzy naturally affected the local market. There are not many commercial properties for sale in the Central area. Those owners began to hold on to their properties and wait for real estate developers to pay high prices. In addition, rents have increased by at least 4%. The rent of some commercial properties has reached 15 yuan per square foot.

HSBC Trading Room

A large number of stock investors stayed in the hall, watching the appreciation of their stocks. Some people have quit their original jobs to become full-time stock traders.

Li Wendi smiled helplessly when he saw this. HSBC Bank boss Sanders and other prestigious people in society repeatedly reminded investors that "the stock price has risen to a level that is seriously out of touch with reality, and investors should be cautious." Unfortunately, investors have been carried away by the situation, and some even cursed Sanders, saying, "The foreigners are jealous of us making a lot of money and think that the Chinese are only worthy of carrying shoes for them, the foreigners. It's really a failure."

"Mr. Li, are you here to sell your stocks?" Wu Xiong asked respectfully.

Li Wendi nodded. It seemed that Wu Xiong had noticed the strange atmosphere in the stock market. "Mr. Wu, please help me sell all the shares of Hopewell Industries, as well as the shares of those small companies."

"Hopewell Industries is in good condition. The difference between its market value and actual asset value does not exceed 35%. Once it is sold, it will be difficult to buy it back. Do you want to wait and see, Mr. Li?" Wu Xiong felt that even if there were problems with the stock market, the stocks of large companies were relatively safe and secure, unlike those of small and medium-sized companies, whose stock prices were out of touch with reality.

Li Wendi shook his head. "No, just sell them all. To be honest, I heard some bad news about Hopewell Industries. There may be a big drop in the near future. If Mr. Wu holds shares of Hopewell Industries, I still suggest that he sell them all before the Spring Festival. He may lose some of the difference, but he can still make a little money."

Hearing this, Wu Xiong's face became solemn. If someone else said this, he would definitely sneer at him, but Li Wendi had never failed in the stock market. In fact, everything Li Wendi has now was obtained from the stock market.

"Mr. Wu, no one can earn every last penny in the stock market. Even if you make a wrong judgment, Mr. Wu has made money instead of suffering a loss." Li Wendi still persuaded with a faint smile. He only said a few more words because of their acquaintance.

Wu Xiong nodded and said, "I will seriously consider what Mr. Li said. I don't hold many shares of Hopewell Industries, so it shouldn't be difficult to sell them in time."

Wu Xiong still didn't want to give up the future gains from Hopewell Industries' shares, which would naturally be a considerable profit.

Soon, Wu Xiong came over with a stack of documents. "Mr. Li, the 10 shares of Hopewell Industrial Company under your name have been sold. The average selling price was 23.6 yuan, and the profit was 211.28 million yuan, with a return rate of more than 10 times."

“还有中天国际地产公司的30万股股票、恒水置业公司50万股股票总价值370万元（最初的认购价），中天国际地产公司股票抛售价是4.6元、恒水置业公司的抛售价是5.3元.利润是93万元、165万元一共回笼资金1210万元。”

1200 million yuan of funds is impressive, but it is only a part of Li Wendi's investment in the stock market. The highlight is in the stocks of large companies, such as Cheung Kong Holdings, New World Development, and Hang Lung, at least another 1200 million.

After hearing this figure, Li Wendi wanted to change his mind. The profit was really amazing. If the profit continued to grow at this rate, it would be possible for him to personally hold hundreds of millions of shares. This was more profitable than any other business, and the growth rate was not slow at all.

'No wonder investors are unwilling to believe in Sanders. If I hadn't known the stock market crash was coming, I wouldn't have believed in Sanders.'

Li Wendi sighed in his heart, his eyes inadvertently lingering on Wu Xiong, making Wu Xiong feel a little uncomfortable all over.

So, Li Wendi asked about the prices of all the stocks held, and Wu Xiong answered them one by one.

Starlight Real Estate Office

Li Wendi has not been working here for some time. After all, Changxin Real Estate Company and Zhongyu Real Estate Company need him to be in charge to stabilize the morale of the two companies.

In fact, Starlight Real Estate Company no longer has much property and land, and only some low-quality shops and houses are left for rent.

However, with the wealthy Li Wendi, the strength of Starlight Real Estate Company is not as simple as it seems. According to the plan, Starlight Real Estate will acquire at least two commercial buildings, a few shops in Central, and some land in Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay within two years after 73.

"Wendi, I have good news. Do you want to listen to it?" Zhang Yan walked into the office without knocking and sat down in the chair opposite Li Wendi.

Li Wendi glanced at Zhang Yan and said unhappily, "How old are you? Still playing this kind of game. Hurry up and finish your words and get back to work."

He didn't want to pamper Zhang Yan. He was already the boss of a decoration company, but he still didn't behave properly. If his subordinates knew about it, he wouldn't know how to manage the company.

Zhang Yan curled his lips and said, "No romance. I don't know how you managed to hook up with He Qijun."

Seeing Li Wendi rolling his eyes, as if to warn him, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kick you out," Zhang Yan got to the point. "We've investigated the matter of Commander Hu Jianzhi. He should have nothing to do with the Repulse Bay Road case. The 20 transferred into his account was a thank-you fee from Chow Tai Fook Jewelry Company, not a bribe to strangle the gangsters."

Li Wendi paused what he was doing. He didn't expect that Zhang Yan was still investigating the matter. He had originally planned to strengthen the security of his family to prevent similar incidents from happening again, but now there has been a reversal.

Is it because the opponent is too strong and has covered up all the evidence?

Li Wendi shook his head. No one on his list of enemies had such power. Perhaps this was really an accident, a coincidence.

However, to be on the safe side, Li Wendi still has doubts and must get confirmation from multiple aspects before he can believe it is true.

"Have the two bandits woken up?" Li Wendi asked Zhang Yan.

"I heard that one of them has woken up and the police are interrogating him. I don't think you can get any good results even if you interrogate the criminals." Zhang Yan reminded Li Wendi seriously, ignoring his dark face.

"I know, I just want peace of mind." Li Wendi sighed, but there was no relaxation on his face.

"Well, let's go ask. I heard from some friends that these two gangsters will not be sentenced to death, but will probably be sentenced to 20 years in prison. Should we find someone to kill them then?" Zhang Yan raised his hand and made a throat-cutting motion on his neck. "These people have a strong desire for revenge. It is possible that they will attack you, Xiaonan, and Aunt Guo again after they are released."

Li Wendi nodded slightly and said, "Wait until the heat of the matter dies down, then we'll go get rid of them."

Zhang Yan said, "Okay, leave this to me. If anyone dares to attack my brothers, they will be dead."

"Ayan, you should slowly get rid of your underworld affairs and find a trustworthy agent. We all want to squeeze into the upper class society, and it will be good for you to retire as soon as possible." Li Wendi advised earnestly.

"Well, I'll keep an eye on the candidates." Zhang Yan also knew that Li Wendi was telling the truth.

Doesn't Deng Songlian want to clear himself? Why did he promote his son to that position?
After all, Deng Songlian had too many blood debts on his hands, and other legitimate businessmen would not recognize him. He could only let his son take the front stage while he controlled things from behind.

Soon, Yan Zhijie, the police inspector of the General Police Headquarters, came with a message saying that Li Wendi could be arranged to visit the already sober bandit in the near future and ask for the specific time so that he could make arrangements.

Li Wendi didn't want to wait any longer, so he told Yan Zhijie to do it as soon as possible, the sooner the better.

Yan Zhijie thought about it and directly arranged the visiting time for this Saturday at the hospital in Central. He also asked Li Wendi to wear a uniform and not tell anyone about the matter afterwards.

If this news gets out, it will inevitably affect the impression of the police force in the minds of Hong Kong citizens. Although the corruption in the police force and the rampant tyranny of H society have made Hong Kong citizens lose hope in the police force, the top police officers still want to try their best to save their image.
