Chapter 259 [Division]

The next morning, Li Wendi came to the trading hall of HSBC.

Led by Wu Xiong, Li Wendi walked into the VIP room, and other staff members brought her a cup of fragrant coffee.

"Mr. Li, I was just about to call you, but I didn't expect you to come here." Wu Xiong said with a laugh. Recently, he followed Li Wendi to buy and sell stocks and made a lot of profits.

"Oh! Then we are in sync with each other." Li Wendi joked.

"Haha!! Mr. Li, you don't know that the Hutchison Group's stock price rose sharply yesterday and has risen to 2.7 yuan per share. Mr. Li has made nearly 2000 times the profit on the 2 million shares in his hands." Wu Xiong laughed happily, and of course he also bought a lot.

"Yeah!" Li Wendi smiled slightly. This was expected. Hutchison Group was one of the four largest trading companies in Hong Kong. It had great potential. Buying at a low price was just a matter of sitting back and waiting to get paid. There was nothing to be proud of.

"How are other blue-chip stocks?" Li Wendi asked, suppressing his smile.

"The stocks of Hong Kong Electric Company and Swire Group have shown good growth, but the growth of other stocks is just average, with no highlights." Wu Xiong thought about it carefully.

"Help me check the share price of Kowloon Motor Bus Company." Li Wendi gave another new instruction, which was the main topic.

Kowloon Motor Bus Company?!
Wu Xiong nodded in confusion, stood up, pushed the door open and went out to check.

After a while, Wu Xiong came back again, "Mr. Li, the current share price of Kowloon Motor Bus Company is 3.4 yuan, the total share capital is 6000 million shares, and the market value is 2 million yuan."

"How many scattered shares are there in the stock market?" Li Wendi asked thoughtfully. The market value of 200 million is neither high nor low, but it is also difficult to acquire it.

"About one-tenth, about 600 million shares." Wu Xiong glanced at Li Wendi and continued, "If Mr. Li wants to acquire Kowloon Motor Bus Company, it will probably be quite difficult. Kowloon Motor Bus is a franchise company, and the operator has been in business for two generations, which means it is a bit of family control."

"I know that." Li Wendi thought for a moment and then asked, "Mr. Wu, do you have any other way to help me get more Kowloon Motor Bus Company shares?"

"We can only start with the small shareholders of Kowloon Motor Bus Company. I can try to help Mr. Li contact them, but there will be a risk of leaks." Wu Xiong frowned and said to Li Wendi.

Li Wendi picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, and said, "Let's start with the stock market first. Let's put the matter of contacting small shareholders aside for now. I'll let you know when I've made up my mind."

"Okay, then I will acquire it secretly first, and absorb as much as I can." Wu Xiong nodded. He understood Li Wendi's concerns. Once discovered, the acquisition would naturally be hopeless.

The Lei family has been deeply involved in the Kowloon Motor Bus Company for many years. The shareholders on the board of directors are likely to be biased towards the Lei family. Li Wendi can only fight alone, so he must control enough shares so that he can hit the target with one blow.

With the help of Li Zhaoji, Baide Real Estate Company was successfully established soon.

As a partner, Li Wendi naturally had to dress up for the event. Compared with Li Zhaoji, Li Jiacheng, Guo Desheng and Zheng Yutong, Li Wendi's youth seemed particularly dazzling. The reporters all wanted Li Wendi to speak so that they could seize some inappropriate remarks to criticize, so that the sales of newsprint would be guaranteed.

Those four people were all veterans in the business world, and it was difficult to get anything useful out of their words.

Unfortunately, Li Wendi is also a little experienced. He pretended not to hear the reporter's tricky questions and answered some relatively common questions.

"Mr. Li, I heard that the company you just acquired from Hutchison Group, Ho Fung Enterprises, was acquired specifically for your girlfriend. Is this true?"

If Li Wendi answered 'yes', the reporter would ask other embarrassing questions to Li Wendi.

"No company will give way to an individual. I am a mature businessman. Feelings are feelings, and business is business. I have always kept them clearly separate." Li Wendi replied.

"Then why is there a rumor in Hefeng Enterprise that 'Mr. Li spent tens of millions to acquire the company for his beloved'? I don't think it is groundless. Besides, the person at the helm of Hefeng Enterprise is not Miss He Qijun, but two other women." "This is the company's business matter. I can't say too much here." Li Wendi no longer wanted to deal with these reporters. After answering this question, he walked towards Zheng Yutong.

There were no reporters on Zheng Yutong's side, he was chatting with Li Jiacheng.

Seeing Li Wendi coming over, Zheng Yutong said with a smile, "Those reporters are not so easy to deal with."

Li Wendi pursed his lips and smiled bitterly, "Uncle Tong is still experienced. I really shouldn't have stopped."

“Haha!! Every failure makes you wiser. We have all been through this. When I first took over Chow Tai Fook, these reporters often gave me a headache.” Cheng Yutong laughed even more heartily.

Li Jiacheng has never liked appearing in front of reporters, but sometimes he has no choice.

Those guys who make a living by writing are not so easy to deal with. I don’t know how many people they can cause trouble to with just their mouths.

Li Wendi already had a premonition that these reporters would definitely create some "big dragon and phoenix" for him.

Bribe those journalists and newspapers?

Li Wendi shook his head. Let's not talk about the grievances between the Qinian Newspaper and its peers. There are so many newspapers in Hong Kong. How can he bribe them one by one? And if he can bribe them the first time, what about the second and third time?
Obviously, bribery is useless and this bomb will explode sooner or later.

The reclamation project of Sha Tin New Town is undoubtedly huge, and the money spent is a huge amount, so Baide Real Estate Company won this super-large project with only 2000 million yuan.

In fact, there were not many companies competing for this tender, only three. Two of them were Chinese companies, and the other one was a joint bid by Henderson Land Development and Land Development. Unfortunately, their bid was too low and they were eliminated.

Many companies are worried about the follow-up investment in this project. The area of ​​reclamation is as high as several million square feet, which requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources. In addition, the Hong Kong government has also stipulated a time limit for reclamation, which makes the difficulty suddenly rise to a higher level.

But this is an opportunity. If you grasp it well, it can make the company take off. It just takes a little time.

Soon, the five people gathered in a conference room to discuss how to complete the reclamation requirements within the deadline.

After much discussion, we can only increase the investment in manpower and material resources.

As for the suggestion of subcontracting the project, it is not that no one has mentioned it, but everyone is unwilling to hand over the profits to others, and it is difficult to supervise the quality of the project.

If it fails, the progress of the entire project will be affected. In serious cases, compensation will be required and a large amount of money will be lost on this project.

Li Wendi really wanted to get Wen Yan Decoration Engineering Company involved, but unfortunately the company could not spare any manpower and the projects on hand were also very urgent.

So, Li Wendi watched helplessly as others divided up all the project work.

It’s not about how much profit there is in it, it’s a good opportunity, an opportunity to learn and gain experience.

Li Wendi immediately made up his mind to continue expanding the scale of Wenyan Decoration Engineering Company and strive to participate in the construction of residential buildings after the reclamation project was completed.

There are many differences between the construction of small residential areas and large housing estates, and these are things that our subsidiaries need to learn.
