Chapter 218 [Junfu Jewelry]

The Peninsula Tsim Sha Tsui
Zou Wenhuai met with Li Wendi here. The matter was naturally the agreement signed by Li Wendi on behalf of Changxin Real Estate Company and Shaw Brothers Film Company. Although Changxin Real Estate Company's investment in it was not large, the signal sent out discouraged some people and they dared not cooperate with Golden Harvest Entertainment Company.

"Mr. Li, I heard that you signed an agreement with Shaw Brothers Film Company, indicating that there will be no other cooperation with Golden Harvest Entertainment?" Zou Wenhuai stared at Li Wendi with a bad look. He certainly did not want to lose Li Wendi as an ally. After all, the pressure of resisting Run Run Shaw alone was too great.

Li Wendi did not hide anything and nodded readily, "It is true! Mr. Zou, the conditions offered by Run Run Shaw are very good. There is no need for me to refuse. In addition, Changxin Real Estate Company only accounts for 20% of our cooperation, which should have little impact on Golden Harvest Entertainment Company."

Li Wendi's meaning was very simple. The benefits given by Zou Wenhuai were too little, Run Run Shaw gave more, and their relationship was just a one-time collaborator.

"Mr. Li, this is your decision and I cannot interfere. But isn't this a bit immoral?" Zou Wenhuai said unhappily.

"Morality?! Mr. Zou, did I promise you that there would be follow-up cooperation? It seems like I didn't say that. Besides, I have no grudge against Run Run Shaw, and I am cooperating with you for the sake of interests. After cooperating with Mr. Zou, do I no longer have the right to cooperate with others?" Li Wendi is not afraid of Zou Wenhuai. Not to mention that different industries are like different worlds, Zou Wenhuai is also much inferior to him in terms of financial resources.

Seeing Li Wendi's tough attitude, Zou Wenhuai knew that Li Wendi would not be hard-pressed, so he changed his attitude, "Mr. Li, that's not what I meant. Run Run Shaw is a stingy person. How could he be willing to give up his interests to outsiders? I just wanted to remind Mr. Li to be careful of Run Run Shaw."

"Today, Shaw Brothers Film Company is the dominant company in the industry, and its cinema chain is even more complete. If Mr. Li wants to enter the cinema chain, he will sooner or later come into conflict with Run Run Shaw. Instead of fighting Run Run Shaw alone, it is better to unite with allies to divide up Shaw Brothers Film Company."

If Run Run Shaw is a tiger in his old age, then Raymond Chow is a hungry wolf who wants to eat alone. Now that Run Run Shaw is here, naturally there will be no trouble between the two sides. Once Raymond Chow gains the upper hand, I am afraid that he will not be the same as he is now.

"Changxin Real Estate Company has no intention of making enemies with anyone. We are only investing in the theater. We don't want to enter the film industry and compete with elites like Zou Sheng." Li Wendi shook his head, stated his purpose directly, and politely rejected Zou Wenhuai's solicitation.

Zou Wenhuai had sinister intentions. He wanted Li Wendi to completely stand against Run Run Shaw, so that he could greatly reduce the pressure that Run Run Shaw brought to him.

But who isn't a business elite? If he can't even see through these 'tricks', how can he survive in the turbulent business world?

"Mr. Li and I are close friends regardless of age difference. Could you please, for the sake of our friendship, do something detrimental to Golden Harvest Entertainment?" Zou Wenhuai was very humble. Today's Golden Harvest Entertainment was a little shaky, after all, it had lost its biggest cash cow - Bruce Lee.

"As Mr. Zou said, Run Run Shaw will not sincerely cooperate with me. I am not a newcomer in the business world. Don't worry, I know how to choose." Li Wendi did not directly agree to Zou Wenhuai. Instead, she perfunctorily answered Zou Wenhuai with ambiguous words.

This "date" did not end in a bad mood, but neither party had a happy chat. However, both parties also obtained some useful information, such as Li Wendi just wanted to take advantage of Run Run Shaw, and Zou Wenhuai still had some tricks up his sleeve to deal with Run Run Shaw.

Qi Nian Newspaper
Under the management of Ho Ki-kwan, the Hong Kong Daily started to make profits. Although the profit margin was not high, it was able to barely maintain the expanded scale of operations and even had some capital surplus.

The Qinian Newspaper holds two of the top ten newspapers in Hong Kong, which makes it the most popular newspaper. Naturally, it attracts the jealousy and hatred of its peers. However, they have no way to deal with the Qinian Newspaper for the time being, so they can only endure it and wait for an opportunity.

He Qijun is very ambitious. As soon as the Hong Kong Daily News stabilized, she thought about publishing an economic magazine (the current economy is in a downturn, and many people want to know when it will recover, so they want to take the opportunity to attack the stock market and get the first piece of the pie). Although the competition in the economic magazine category is very fierce, she is full of confidence.

But she was in a bad mood at the moment because she heard some bad news.

"How is Junfu Jewelry (Jiawen Jewelry Company) going? I heard that you hired two secretaries, they should be very capable, right?" He Qijun's words were full of jealousy and strong dissatisfaction.

Li Wendi's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect the news to be leaked so quickly. Wasn't He Qijun not interested in Junfu Jewelry? How did she know all this?

Li Wendi organized his words and pretended to be relaxed and smiled, "What's wrong? Are you jealous? If you are not satisfied, I can transfer those two secretaries to other positions, and I will find a male secretary in the future."

He Qijun was still not satisfied with these words, "The whole Junfu knows that he is yours, how can I be dissatisfied?"

He Qijun's attitude was very clear. She was a little dissatisfied, but she had no intention of leaving Li Wendi.

"Of course you are qualified, you are my marriage partner, and Junfu Jewelry is our family company, we need you to manage it in the future." Li Wendi quickly put her hands on He Qijun's shoulders and kept coaxing He Qijun. "I know that it is impossible for a rich man not to find a woman." He Qijun looked at Li Wendi expressionlessly. She was of course familiar with the bad habits of the wealthy Chinese in Hong Kong. She originally thought that Li Wendi would be an exception, but she didn't expect it to be the case. However, Li Wendi was better than some wealthy people. He supported her to build her own industry. This was a kind of trust.

"I will be in charge of Junfu Jewelry from now on. I will also use the dividends from the Qinian Newspaper to buy some shares of Junfu Jewelry from you." He Qijun continued.

"Okay! Then I will take you to take up the position of general manager tomorrow, and I will be the deputy general manager." Li Wendi knew that He Qijun was just throwing a tantrum and was still clear-headed. As for the controlling rights of Junfu Jewelry, of course it was still in his hands. He was just giving He Qijun some comfort.

"Okay, I'll meet your two secretaries as well." He Qijun's expression eased a little. Li Wendi gave up his seat without hesitation, proving that she still had some place in Li Wendi's heart.

"We are a family!" Li Wendi looked at He Qijun and said seriously. This was the truth. Huang Lixin and Zhao Yazhi were just mistresses and might not be around in the future. He also wanted to change a new one every once in a while. It was a man's sense of freshness.

"You don't know yet? You talk as if I will definitely marry you." He Qijun said with some pride.

"Who else can you marry? Who dares to marry you? Aren't they afraid that I will kill them?"

"Then I can choose not to marry."

The next morning, Li Wendi and He Qijun walked into the gate of Junfu Jewelry Company.

It was the first time that Huang Lixin and Zhao Yazhi saw He Qijun in person. They discovered that she looked not much different from them, and that she had a kind of noble aura that they did not have, which gave people a strong sense of oppression.

"Ms. He!" After Li Wendi's introduction, everyone in the company hurriedly greeted her. This is the future boss lady of the company. Anyone who dares to offend her will be afraid of being bullied.

"Brother Wendi, your two secretaries are very beautiful. You have good taste!" He Qijun had a faint smile on her face and praised in front of everyone.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They thought the boss lady would swallow her anger, but they didn't expect that even the boss would dare to tease her. This boss lady has quite a lot of power.

"It's just so-so." Li Wendi smiled slightly, then looked around with a stern face, "Let's start the meeting. First, I'll announce a personnel transfer. Miss He Qijun will serve as the deputy general manager of Junfu Jewelry, responsible for managing the finance department, purchasing department, and other four departments."

After the meeting, He Qijun specifically talked to the two secretaries. As for what they talked about, Li Wendi didn’t know because Li Wendi was not present, or he was kicked out by He Qijun.

When they saw the three people, Huang Lixin and Zhao Yazhi had already become little maids beside He Qijun, and their respectful appearance was unbearable to look at.

"I have something to discuss with Qijun. You two can go out first." Li Wendi drove Huang Lixin and Zhao Yazhi out.

After the two of them closed the door, Li Wendi said to He Qijun, "You need to keep an eye on the 800 million gold purchases from the purchasing department. Don't make any mistakes. I'm going to deposit the gold in HSBC. The security situation is not very good right now, and a bank vault is safer."

"The stores in Central, Wan Chai and Tsim Sha Tsui are being renovated. You can arrange for other people to monitor the progress of the project."

Li Wendi briefly explained the urgent matters of the four departments that He Qijun was in charge of.

In fact, He Qijun is already busy enough running the Qinian Newspaper, and now she has to deal with the affairs of the Junfu Jewelry Company. She will probably be even busier in the future and may not even have time to eat.

But she would not let go, because once she let go, these properties would fall into other hands, and she had seen how the two women were sharpening their knives.

Li Wendi believed that He Qijun could handle the work coordination between the Qinian Newspaper and Junfu Jewelry Company.
