Chapter 216 [No One Wants to Suffer Losses]

Since Fang Yihua didn't tell him her purpose, Li Wendi naturally wouldn't be the first to speak out. He would have to pay a price for being clever at this time.

"Mr. Li should know the feud between Golden Harvest Entertainment and Shaw Brothers Film Company. Mr. Shaw does not want Mr. Li to cooperate with Golden Harvest Entertainment, so can you stop the future cooperation with Golden Harvest Entertainment?" Fang Yihua said directly.

Li Wendi knew from some memories of her previous life that Run Run Shaw had always been an egoist who even ignored his own son, let alone a weak outsider like Li Wendi.

Li Wendi immediately shook her head and said, "Ms. Fang, Changxin Real Estate Company is a listed company. As an operator, I cannot harm the interests of shareholders."

Fang Yihua lacks some moral integrity as she wants to damage the interests of Changxin Real Estate Company with just a few words.

"As long as Mr. Li no longer has any subsequent cooperation with Golden Harvest Entertainment, the films produced by Shaw Brothers Film Company will be shown in theaters under Changxin Real Estate Company, and we will also give a reasonable market guarantee fee." Fang Yihua still gave up some of her interests.

Shaw Brothers Film Company owns a huge cinema chain, and the films it produces do not need to be shown in other theaters. Now that they are willing to show their films in theaters owned by Changxin Real Estate Company, it is already an exception. After all, the Hong Kong market is so small, and the number of audiences is basically fixed. Showing films in one more theater will inevitably reduce the income of theaters owned by Shaw Brothers Film Company.

This is a good way. It can not only do a favor to Run Run Shaw, but also gain some economic benefits. At the same time, he does not plan to cooperate deeply with Golden Harvest Entertainment. Perhaps they will be enemies next time they meet.

"Thank you, Miss Fang!" Li Wendi raised his coffee and gestured to Fang Yihua, expressing his pleasure in working with her.

Fang Yihua felt somewhat relieved. Fortunately, she had consulted Run Run Shaw before coming here, otherwise she really would not be able to "get" Li Wendi.

In fact, Li Wendi owned too few theaters, which was one of the main reasons why Run Run Shaw was willing to make concessions.

Naturally, this matter could not be agreed upon verbally. When signing the contract, Fang Yihua wanted to sign, but Li Wendi stopped her because Run Run Shaw was the boss of Shaw Brothers Film Company.

Fang Yihua was a little annoyed, but unfortunately Li Wendi didn't buy it at all. She could only take the contract back to Run Run Shaw for his signature.

Of course, Li Wendi knew some of the tricks in the contract, and Run Run Shaw seemed to want to play this trick as well. By then, he would simply deny or dismiss Fang Yihua from her position, and the responsibility would have nothing to do with the film company.

The laws of this era were not yet sound, Li Wendi had to act with caution, Fang Yihua was just a small figure.

After struggling for several days, Lu Jiagui finally let go of his worries, but he would not go to Li Wendi in person because he could not be so humble, and it would not be conducive to making subsequent requests.

Li Wendi felt that these few days were enough time for Lu Jiagui to think clearly and make a good choice, so he asked Zhang Wentao to call Lu Jiagui and make an appointment to discuss the acquisition of Jiawen Jewelry Company.

Doing so can save time and avoid unnecessary confrontations at the dinner table. Lu Jiagui can directly refuse the meeting over the phone, and Li Wendi will not force it. She can just wait for Lu Jiagui's personal finances to collapse before stepping in to clean up the mess.

Of course, at that time, the conditions offered by Li Wendi would be much lower than the current situation, after all, Lu Jiagui had less bargaining power.

Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Central
After a brief greeting, the two of them quickly got into the mood, but Lu Jiagui's face was very sour. In his eyes, Li Wendi was still a scum who tried to steal the family business, and he simply ignored the fact that "a fly doesn't bite an egg without a crack". The reason for all this was that there was a problem in his management of the Jiawen Jewelry Company, otherwise Li Wendi would have no idea where to start.

Human beings are all like this, good at finding excuses for themselves, or directly putting the blame on others without getting involved.

"Mr. Lu, let me get straight to the point. I want to acquire Jiawen Jewelry Company. Please name a price." Li Wendi said directly and seriously.

Lu Jiagui did not answer Li Wendi's question immediately. He thought for a moment before asking, "What conditions does Mr. Li want to use to acquire Jiawen?"

Li Wendi held up two fingers and said, "I will buy all the stocks held by Mr. Lu at a 20% premium. As far as I know, Jiawen Jewelry Company still has a large bank loan. After I take over the company, I will need to deal with this issue." Lu Jiagui certainly would not agree with Li Wendi's belittling of Jiawen Jewelry Company. He immediately retorted, "Jiawen Jewelry Company does have loans, but it also has several watch brand agents and a lot of gold jewelry reserves. It will only take some time to turn the crisis into safety."

Li Wendi smiled. This was a typical case of a dead duck talking stubbornly. If Jiawen Jewelry was really as good as Lu Jiagui said, how could he have the opportunity to take action? Lu Jiagui would definitely not appear at the negotiation table this time.

"Mr. Lu, what do you think of my conditions?" Li Wendi did not dwell on that topic and went straight back to the main purpose.

"Not so good! It's not like there aren't people who offer a 2% premium." Lu Jiagui pretended to be calm and seemed reluctant to sell Jiawen Jewelry.

"Mr. Lu, let's stop talking nonsense. Just tell me what conditions you want and I will try my best to meet them." Li Wendi was too lazy to continue guessing what Lu Jiagui meant. He would have to 'bleed' anyway.

"I have a batch of stocks, and I hope Mr. Li can take them over at the original price." Lu Jiagui said with a straight face, but his eyes were fixed on Li Wendi's expression, obviously afraid that Li Wendi would 'turn the table and leave'.

Original price?!
Li Wendi couldn't help but smile coldly. "I'm sure Mr. Lu knows the current stock market situation very well. Even at the market price, there may not be anyone willing to take it, let alone the original price. How about this, I'll take it over at 8% of the market price."

"This is impossible! It must be the original price." Lu Jiagui said with some toughness. He believed that he had what Li Wendi wanted, so Li Wendi must compromise on other things.

"Since Mr. Lu is so insistent, let's find another buyer." Li Wendi said, and then stood up. "I have something else to do. Mr. Lu, take your time to eat."

Just as Li Wendi was leaving the table, Luo Yuwen suddenly stood up from the next table and hurriedly stopped him, "Please wait, Mr. Li!"

"Hello, Mr. Li! I'm Luo Yuwen, Lu Jiagui's wife." Luo Yuwen saw Li Wendi stopped and said, "We can talk about this slowly. I'll give you another chance."

Li Wendi looked at the elegant Luo Yuwen, then turned to glance at Lu Jiagui, "Okay, let's talk for a while."

So, Li Wendi sat back down, and Lu Jiagui still had a cold face, as if Li Wendi owed him millions.

"Mr. Li, it's not very reasonable to sell it at 80% of the current stock market price. It's better to sell it at the market price." Luo Yuwen continued, "We are in a hurry to get rid of it, but we don't want to sell it at a low price, otherwise it wouldn't have dragged on until now."

Luo Yuwen spoke very frankly and firmly, which made Li Wendi look up to this woman.

It’s not that Lu Jiagui is not determined, but it’s because of his position. If women are asked to give up jewelry, they may hesitate for a while.

"Mrs. Lu is so straightforward, so I won't waste time and will just go with the market price. However, I can only pay a 10% premium for the shares of Jiawen Jewelry Company. After all, a lot of funds will be needed in the future." Li Wendi was unwilling to give in on all the conditions.

Lu Jiagui wanted to refute, but Luo Yuwen grabbed his wrist and said with a smile on his face, "Okay, then let's do as Mr. Li said. The shares of Jiawen Jewelry Company will be purchased at a 1% premium and the stocks will be purchased at the market price."

"Happy cooperation!" Li Wendi extended his right hand towards Luo Yuwen.

However, Lu Jiagui took the lead in extending his hand and shaking hands with Li Wendi, but he could not utter those four words.

Li Wendi smiled and didn't mind it. Lu Jiagui obviously didn't want Luo Yuwen to have any physical contact with him.

A young woman in her thirties is indeed somewhat attractive, but Li Wendi is only in his twenties and is not interested in Luo Yuwen. He is not a thief who has that kind of special fetish.

I wonder what Lu Jiagui is worried about?
