Chapter 322 [The Opportunity Has Come]

The fund-raising and share offering plan of Changxin Real Estate Company could not be implemented. Li Wendi could only think of other ways to allow Changxin Real Estate Company to quickly gather funds, because the Hong Kong government was about to hold an auction of official land and the Admiralty land king was about to appear.

It was difficult for the Cheung Sun Properties Company to realize its dream of becoming a landlord in Central, after all, there was the obstacle of the Land Development Company. So Li Wendi turned his attention to the Admiralty area. The old naval barracks and the Admiralty subway station over-cover project here covered an area of ​​more than 30 square feet, which was enough to establish a business empire for the Cheung Sun Properties Company, facing the Harbour City of the Wharf Group from afar.

Harbour City covers an area of ​​200 square feet, but the land in Admiralty is more precious. The 30 square feet of land is enough to make Hong Kong Land envy the Hong Kong Land, after all, Hong Kong Land also owns a commercial building of similar area in Central.

So Li Wendi summoned Zhang Wentao again and asked him to speed up the development of the land under his control, especially the residential land, because Li Wendi was reluctant to sell the construction properties on some of the land, such as the Grade A commercial buildings in Sheung Wan and the hotels in the urban area of ​​Kowloon.

Li Wendi finally had time to start dealing with the affairs of Gad Electronics, especially the cooperation with Nengda Technology.

This cooperation has been put on the right track. Nengda Technology is worthy of being a subsidiary supported by the Chong Hing Group. It directly handed over the newly developed quartz electronic watches to Gad Electronics for production, and the first batch of orders was as high as 80 pieces.

According to calculations by the business department of Gad Electronics, the profit of each watch is 3 yuan, and the total profit amount is 240 million yuan. However, the market in Southeast Asia is huge, and the business department of Gad Electronics has dispatched personnel to develop business in Southeast Asian countries in an effort to obtain huge profits.

Of course, Li Wendi wants more than just these small profits, but more for the huge industry behind it. His goal is to make Gad Electronics a super large enterprise integrating electronic research and development, manufacturing, production and sales.

Therefore, Li Wendi obtained an invitation to a dinner at Hong Kong University through the connections of He Zefeng's family. He planned to win over officials from the Department of Electronics of Hong Kong University at the dinner and prepare to recruit top students from the Department of Electronics of Hong Kong University to lay a talent foundation for the rise of Gad Electronics.

Li Wendi knew that it would be difficult to develop rapidly relying solely on Nengda Technology Company, so he sent people to Europe and RB to look for agency opportunities. These contracts did not need to take too long to sign, and three years was enough.

He believes that in three years, Gad Electronics will have its own series of products including electronic watches and become a strong electronics company that will no longer be strangled by any person or company.

Everything now is just about self-sufficiency and providing funds for subsequent research and development.

Funds can certainly be provided by the parent company, Qinian Newspapers, but Qinian Newspapers is a listed company and there are too many restrictions on long-term funding, so it is better to "pay from one's own pocket."

He Qijun doesn't care about Gad Electronics Company, otherwise it would not be Li Wendi's turn to manage it personally, so Gad Electronics Company must have its own source of funds.

Changxin Real Estate Company Office

Li Wendi read the newspaper of the day as usual to learn about yesterday's current affairs and supplement some knowledge.

'Swire Pacific is suspected of having an irreversible conflict with Dachang Real Estate Company' This headline caught Li Wendi's attention.

Last year, Dachang Real Estate Company's "breakup" with Hutchison Group caused Dachang Real Estate Company to suffer a lot of losses. At the same time, its future destiny was shrouded in mystery, and its share price fell slightly.

Now that the stock price has finally recovered, and after a few days of leisure, Swire Properties also wants to abandon Dachang Real Estate Company and prepare to eat alone and pocket the huge profits of Taikoo Shing.

You have to know that Swire & Co. did not have sufficient funds at the time (otherwise there would be no need to sell the Cheung Sun Estate and Sai Sai Lake land) and had no experience in land development. It was Dachang Real Estate Company that taught Swire & Co., Swire Properties and Swire Chang Development Company step by step. Doing so now is tantamount to killing the donkey after it has done its work.

However, in Li Wendi's opinion, Chen Detai of Dachang Real Estate Company was too kind. He felt that foreigners valued the contract and would not kick Dachang Real Estate Company out. Chen Detai underestimated the benefits brought by the Aberdeen project (of Hutchison Group) and Taikoo Shing, and the role of human greed.

If contracts can restrict everything, wouldn't those capable ordinary people never have a chance to turn things around? Li Wendi was salivating over the big cake of Taikoo City, but the other party was Taikoo & Co., one of the four largest foreign companies in Hong Kong, a behemoth, so he was a little daunted.

However, Li Wendi still hopes that this matter can become more and more rampant, so that the conflict between the Chinese and foreigners will become more and more serious. The more complicated the situation is, the more opportunities there will be to fish in troubled waters.

In fact, facing the powerful British companies, Chinese businessmen are still somewhat wary. They sincerely hope to cooperate with British companies and gain a little profit from them. Unfortunately, the British are very greedy and do not want the Chinese to have any opportunity to come forward and affect their status.

Since the best strategy of cooperation doesn't work, the only option is to rob. In the past, this was the reason why the acquisition war of Hutchison Whampoa, the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa, and the fierce battle between Wheelock and Company broke out.

Li Wendi slowly put down the newspaper, thinking about how to gain his own benefits from these things.

For him, anyone can be an ally, and temporary cooperation is not impossible as long as it is in line with the interests of the plan.

He discovered that the largest shareholder of Taikoo Shing was Taikoo Chang Development Company, and most of the company's shares were concentrated in the hands of Swire Properties and Dachang Properties, and he did not hold any shares.

In the previous life, Swire Properties was able to take over all the shares of Swire Chang Development from Dachang Properties, and there would be no reversal in this life. Li Wendi felt that he did not have much chance, so he gave up the plan to seize Swire Chang Development.

"Cathay Investment Company?" Li Wendi wrote and drew on a blank piece of paper and finally found a crack.

Cathay Investments controls Cathay Pacific Airways and other core companies of Swire Pacific, which are the most profitable and valued industries of Swire Pacific. Although Swire Pacific already holds more than half of the shares of Cathay Investments, it is still aggressively acquiring shares of Cathay Investments with the intention of privatizing Cathay Investments.

Li Wendi suddenly remembered that the British Railway Company held some shares in Cathay Investment Company. He could not remember the exact amount, but Jardine Matheson seemed to attach great importance to it, so it should not be too little.

Therefore, Li Wendi set his sights on these shares. According to the Jardine Matheson Group's style of doing things, it is very likely that it will pay a high price to buy back these shares.

In this way, Li Wendi will have an opportunity and perhaps be able to obtain some shares of Taikoo Chang Development Company.

After getting off work in the evening, Li Wendi brought his bodyguards to the Deep Water Bay villa to see his eldest daughter Li Wan.

Li Wan can now walk, but she cannot speak yet. However, she can recognize her parents, grandmother and aunt.

Li Wendi played with Li Wan for a while, and then asked the servants to take care of her. At first, the child cried twice, and then laughed out loud.

Li Wendi looked back. He was really too busy. In addition, Li Wan's identity was sensitive, and he couldn't take her out in public, otherwise it would be detrimental to her growth. He could only take time to come and see her.

At this time, Huang Lixin came home from get off work and wanted to hug Li Wan when she saw Li Wendi. So she put Li Wan down and went straight to sit next to Li Wendi.

"You finally decided to come and see us, mother and daughter." Huang Lixin pouted and complained. She knew that only Li Wendi's favor could guarantee her a foothold and maintain a luxurious life. She knew that she was not cut out for business.
