Chapter 189 [Change Strategy if It Doesn’t Work]

A restaurant in Central
Since the stock market crash, business at this restaurant has been quite slow, and only a few people were dining there at this time.

The waiter also looked a little listless. I don't know if it was because of the stock market or because he was facing unemployment.

"Mr. Li, how are you these days?" Chen Xingzhou and Chen Jinxi stood up and greeted Li Wendi.

Li Wendi glanced at Chen Jinxi and laughed, "The current stock market situation is like this, and the situation in the local market is not good. How can I be good?"

"Yes, the current stock market is indeed harmful to people." Chen Xingzhou sighed and sat down dejectedly.

Li Wendi crossed his legs and asked, "There have been a lot of things going on recently. Mr. Chen, just tell me what you want to say. I have to go back to handle official business later."

Li Wendi really did not lie. Although the stock market crash did not have a big impact on him, he identified some companies and properties that were about to be acquired, or he looked at them and made preparations in advance. After all, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

Chen Xingzhou and Chen Jinxi looked at each other and said seriously, "To be honest, when the stock market collapsed, I didn't have time to evacuate. Now I still have a large number of stocks. I want to ask Mr. Li if there is any way to avoid this loss."

"." Li Wendi was speechless. I am not a savior, so how can I fight against the social trend?

wrong!

There seems to be profit in this.

Li Wendi's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and then he said solemnly, "The current situation is like this, and I don't have any good solution."

"I wonder what company's stocks Mr. Chen has? Or maybe I can help Mr. Chen."

Hearing this, a look of doubt emerged on Chen Jinxi's face. Li Wendi is a very shrewd person and never does business at a loss. Can he really make money from the current stock market?
Chen Jinxi's brain was smoking from thinking so hard, but she couldn't figure out how Li Wendi was going to make a profit.

Chen Xingzhou was also very surprised, but he was more realistic. He knew that he could not make a profit. If he did not operate properly, he would not be able to keep his capital. So without thinking too much, he responded, "There are shares of Cheung Kong Industrial Company, Dachang Real Estate, and Zhongxing Real Estate Company, with a value of about 700 million. Can Mr. Li swallow them all?"

Li Wendi shook his head. "Mr. Chen, you are joking. I don't have the ability to swallow 700 million worth of goods, but I would like to ask Mr. Chen what price he wants to sell it for? I will be frank with you. According to the current stock market situation, I will not buy it at the current price. The most I can give Mr. Chen is the original price. What do you think, Mr. Chen?"

Today's stock market is very bad. The stock prices of various companies are not very low, but they are all scattered shares in the market. It is a typical situation where there is a price and a market but no buyers.

Chen Xingzhou frowned and said, "Mr. Li, even if we can't trade at the current stock price, we should trade at 8% or 9% of the stock price."

Li Wendi smiled and said, "I am taking risks too. Since Mr. Chen doesn't want to, forget it. Just pretend I never said anything and we will continue drinking and eating."

I would also like to sell it at 8% to 9% of the current stock price. It would be great if someone wants it.

Li Wendi knew that as long as he put out buying orders in the stock market, he might not be able to buy many shares of large companies, but he could buy as many shares of small companies as he wanted. It would just take more time, so there was no need to argue with Chen Xingzhou.

Seeing that Li Wendi showed no interest, Chen Xingzhou lowered his head and pondered for a while. He knew that at present, Li Wendi was the only one willing to take over the stocks from him, and he didn't know whether he could keep his capital in the end.

"Mr. Li, there is no problem in selling it to you at the original price, but I hope that Mr. Li can take over all of it, rather than taking over the stocks of certain companies." After being reminded by Chen Jinxi, Chen Xingzhou made up his mind to sell the stocks and keep his capital.

"Okay, the current market value is 700 million. It is impossible to be this price according to the original price. Mr. Chen, don't you need to reconsider it?" Li Wendi acted a little hesitant, giving people the feeling that 'once he misses this opportunity, he will turn around and deny it'.

Chen Xingzhou naturally saw Li Wendi's embarrassment, so he quickly said, "Don't think about it anymore. I will immediately ask the finance department to bring the price list to Mr. Li for review. If there are no problems, we will sign the contract this afternoon."

The stocks Chen Xingzhou bought were not at the subscription price, but were bought from the stock market at a small price. According to the current situation, it is not impossible for the price to fall back to the subscription price, and Chen Xingzhou would suffer heavy losses.

"Mr. Li, I actually have some stocks under my name. I wonder if you are interested?" Chen Xingzhou planned to sell all the stocks to avoid future troubles.

Li Wendi was stunned. Chen Xingzhou was taking advantage of him, so he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Mr. Chen, I don't have so much money. You should find someone else, or continue to hold on and wait for the stock market to recover." "Mr. Li, do you think the stock market will recover in the short term? How sure are you?" Chen Xingzhou was a little impatient. To him, getting the stock back was considered a loss. The previous stock price was so high, he could make a fortune if he sold it.

"Mr. Chen, don't get excited. I just said the stock market will pick up, not in the near future." Li Wendi held his hand. "The stock market is falling sharply now. The Hong Kong government can't just sit back and watch. Maybe it will pick up in the near future. No one can predict. It depends on what the stock investors think."

The stock market relies on all shareholders, not one or two big customers. If you want the stock price to rise, you must get the approval of the majority of shareholders.

It’s not that the Hong Kong government has not introduced policies, but unfortunately the stock market crash is getting worse and worse, and it’s not impossible that it will fall to a new historical low.

Chen Xingzhou calmed down instantly, "Mr. Li, do you want to hold the stock for a while and wait for the stock market to pick up?"

Li Wendi nodded and said, "I have some idle funds on hand, so I can buy in and help you, Mr. Chen. The current situation is not optimistic. Even if I have cash, I dare not buy too much. If a company goes bankrupt, the stocks will become worthless and I will suffer heavy losses."

Chen Xingzhou felt like he was poured with a bucket of cold water. It turned out that Li Wendi was not trying to take advantage. He was naturally well aware of the risks involved. However, he also thought that Li Wendi was a cunning person and could not be trusted completely.

So after thinking about it, Chen Xingzhou said, "We are all friends. I can't let Mr. Li take such a big risk. Why don't we cut the transaction volume we just agreed on in half? Even if there is a loss, Mr. Li can reduce it a little."

Li Wendi understood Chen Xingzhou's plan and knew that once he said he wanted the whole thing, Chen Xingzhou would find a reason to regret it. So he smiled and said, "Okay, then half of it. I can use the money to buy cheap properties."

Chen Jinxi blinked her eyes, as if she was lost in thought about something, probably guessing Li Wendi's plans.

However, at this moment, who can be sure that the stock market will see a short-term recovery in a month.

If you don't seize this opportunity, the stock will really become a piece of waste paper.

Having already regretted it once, Chen Xingzhou couldn't regret it a second time. Otherwise, if Li Wendi turned against him, he would be helpless.

Back to Changxin Real Estate Company Office

Zhang Wentao ran into the office anxiously holding a document.

"Boss, there is new news about Metropolitan Real Estate Company. Cheung Kong Holdings is preparing to take action against Metropolitan Real Estate Company. They say they are going to spend 3300 million to buy out the shares of the major shareholder."

Li Wendi paused in drinking water. After nearly half a minute of thinking, some memories of his past life began to be confirmed.

It turned out to be Cheung Kong Holdings.

Of course, what Li Huanggua wants is not bad, and it may be of great use.

Li Wendi thought about it, "3300 million to acquire 43% of the shares is indeed a big deal. It seems that Cheung Kong Holdings is determined to acquire Metropolitan Real Estate."

"It should be! Currently this news is secret and has not been leaked out. Capital Real Estate Company has not contacted us either." Zhang Wentao's words were not very organized, and he obviously wanted to take credit from Li Wendi.

"If we bid 3500 million, can we get the 43% stake immediately?" Li Wendi asked with a heavy face.

If you want to snatch something from Li Huanggua, you have to be quick and be able to pay a high price.

"We should give it a try if we negotiate with Capital Real Estate Company now, and the price is high. The chance of success is still very high." Zhang Wentao didn't dare to guarantee it. If it didn't work, wouldn't the boss put all the responsibility on his head?

Li Wendi's idea was very simple. Even if he couldn't get Ducheng Real Estate, Li Huanggua would have to spend several million. Losing a few million could hinder some development plans of Cheung Kong Holdings and even change Li Huanggua's life trajectory. Wouldn't that give him more opportunities?

"Okay! Then you contact Metropolitan Real Estate Company right away. We'll offer 3500 million. If possible, we'll sign the contract the day after tomorrow at the latest." Li Wendi thought for a moment and continued, "If they want to delay, then we'll change our strategy and mainly consume more funds from Cheung Kong Industries."
