Chapter 324 322 [Tai Gu Chang Development]

"Mr. Cai, do you want me to beg for mercy and ask the Hong Kong government to bend the law for personal gain?" Li Wendi smiled faintly. "Let me remind Mr. Cai that if you want the Hong Kong government to take back the fine, it will be like asking the Hong Kong government to slap itself in the face. I don't have the nerve to do that."

How can it be?

Cai Ziming is the operator of Yongsheng Real Estate Company, and he is just a new director.

Using personal connections to help other people's companies, isn't that something a fool would do?

However, all the directors focused their attention on Li Wendi. They certainly hoped that Li Wendi could help Yongsheng Real Estate Company. Although the possibility was very low, what if Li Wendi agreed?
"It seems that Mr. Li still regards Yongsheng Real Estate Company as an 'outsider'. It's just a small favor, but he is unwilling to lend a helping hand." Cai Ziming said expressionlessly, but his eyes were staring straight at Li Wendi, as if provoking him.

Gao Yi's heart skipped a beat. Cai Ziming's words were clearly a trap. He was worried that his boss would lose his temper and fall into Cai Ziming's trap, making it inconvenient for him to do his work in the future.

"Haha!! Mr. Cai is so arrogant. Is this just a small favor?" Li Wendi laughed and said, "Mr. Cai has a lot of connections. Why doesn't he go and do some work? Why does he have to embarrass me, a new member of the board of directors? Does he think I am powerless in the board of directors?"

Hearing this, Gao Yi immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The boss is still the same boss and will not let him down at the critical moment.

"How can my connections compare to Mr. Li's? Mr. Li is a big shot who was able to successfully acquire the Wharf Holdings. I'm just the chairman of the board of directors of a small listed company." Cai Ziming said with some ulterior motive.

"Mr. Cai, don't think about anything else. Just pay the fine and settle the debt of the industrial building." Li Wendi didn't want to continue talking about it. It was a waste of time. "If you want to get rid of the credibility crisis, Mr. Cai still needs to admit his mistakes to the media. Otherwise, Yongsheng Real Estate Company will take a long time to recover."

Cai Ziming clenched his fists and his eyelids couldn't help but twitch a few times, but he still fell into a disadvantage. Li Wendi looked young, but he was actually cunning.

The next matters to be discussed are all miscellaneous matters, such as the issue of re-leasing the industrial building and how to make back the losses.

Throughout the whole process, Li Wendi was able to grasp the key points in Cai Ziming's words and made things difficult for Cai Ziming, causing him to lose a lot of face.

In fact, becoming a director of Yongsheng Real Estate Company this time was not all for revenge. It was actually a very good investment. The stock price of 0.4 yuan per share was very cheap.

Apart from personal grudges, Cai Ziming is definitely a good operator. It is all thanks to Cai Ziming that Yongsheng Real Estate Company has grown from a crisis-ridden situation to its current size.

Therefore, the stock price of Yongsheng Real Estate Company will definitely increase significantly in the future. If you sell it at that time, you will definitely make a lot of money.

Dachang Real Estate Company
Li Wendi visited Chen Detai to discuss matters related to Taikoo Chang Development Company.

Chen Detai is conservative in his work, but he has very good interpersonal relationships. He has a good relationship with the head of the iron company. If Chen Detai takes action, he will get twice the result with half the effort.

The two chatted for a while, mostly talking about business news and some economic issues.

"Mr. Chen, let's be frank. I'm interested in the shares of Taikoo Chang Development Company that you hold. I wonder if you can bear the pain and give them up?" Li Wendi asked with a slight smile.

Chen Detai paused while drinking tea, then resumed drinking it in an instant, and said, "Mr. Li, who told you that I want to sell the shares of Taikoo Chang Development Company?"

This is unwilling!
Li Wendi was not in a hurry and smiled and said, "No one said it, I just guessed it."

"The conflict between Dachang Real Estate Company and Taikoo has spread all over Hong Kong. I think all foreigners are the same. Willis is not the only one who would use it to get rid of a donkey after it has done its job. Taikoo City's profits are really too tempting."

"If we can take the entire profit, it will be a great help to any company's asset growth. I estimate that after Taikoo City is completed, excluding the rental income of the properties, the profit will not be less than this number." Li Wendi raised three fingers, of course, referring to 30 billion yuan. Chen Detai is not a rookie in the real estate industry. He has experienced more ups and downs than Li Wendi in his past and present lives. Naturally, he has already seen the value of Taikoo City.

The difficulty now is that Swire Group has only signed a contract for the first phase of the Taikoo City project. There is no clear agreement with Swire Chang Development Company for the second and third phases, and it has only made a verbal promise.

In other words, it is of no use for Chen Detai to hold on to Taikoo Chang Development Company. The initiative is completely in the hands of Taikoo Trading Company. If Chen Detai gives up his shares in Taikoo Chang Development Company, he may be able to gain some benefits, otherwise Chen Detai will get nothing.

"Mr. Li is right. 30 billion yuan is not too little. However, Taikoo Chang Development Company only has the contract for the first phase of Taikoo City. There is no news about the rest. Therefore, it is useless for Mr. Li to take over the shares of Taikoo Chang Development Company. He will only get some small benefits."

Li Wendi smiled and said, "I know! Since the Shi Huaiya family has a plan, we just need to get the ladder. Chen Sheng is still needed to handle the matter. As for the villain, I can be the villain, and Chen Sheng can just be a peacemaker."

Chen Detai waved his hand and said, "I don't know what Mr. Li is up to. I already have a feud with Swire. Swire was unkind first, so don't blame me for being unjust later. So there's no need for me to be a peacemaker."

"Mr. Chen, let me say something unpleasant. We Chinese and foreigners have always been in a hostile relationship. We can cooperate, but if we rely too much on them, we will suffer sooner or later." Li Wendi took the opportunity to give a word of advice.

Chen Detai was embarrassed to be taught a lesson by a junior, so he could only nod and change the subject, "What is Mr. Li's plan? Can you tell me now?"

"Actually, my plan is very simple. The core industry of Swire Group is aviation, and the shares of Cathay Pacific Airways are held by Cathay Investments. In recent years, Swire Group has been acquiring shares of Cathay Investments. I think they are planning to privatize Cathay Investments and keep the aviation industry firmly in their hands." Li Wendi smiled and did not continue speaking.

"Mr. Li means to use the shares of Cathay Investment Company to negotiate with Swire Group?!" Chen Detai thought about it seriously and felt that this idea was somewhat feasible.

Everyone knows how to choose to exchange the most important thing for the less important thing.

The aviation industry is the hard work of two generations of the Shi Huaiya family. How can it not be more important than Taikoo City?

"Which company did Mr. Li choose?" Chen Detai asked Li Wendi.

"Iron Company!" Li Wendi said with a smile, "This is the first company we will target."

Chen Detai nodded solemnly. "The Iron and Steel Company is indeed a good target. The company holds about 15% of the shares of Cathay Investment Company. If we can control about 20% of the shares, Taikoo will definitely not be able to get past us if it wants to privatize."

"Mr. Chen has some connections with the Railway Company. This is one of the reasons why I came to find Mr. Chen." Li Wendi said.

Chen Detai still wanted to be a good guy and didn't want to make things too awkward with Swire Group. After all, the other party was the third largest trading company in Hong Kong and was very powerful.

Li Wendi noticed something was wrong and said, "I think Dachang Real Estate is nothing in the eyes of the Shi Huaiya family, otherwise they wouldn't do such a thing. Dachang Real Estate has cooperation with many foreign companies. If we don't fight back, others will follow suit because the price of betrayal is too small."

Chen Detai finally agreed and launched an attack on Swire Group together with Changxin Real Estate Company.

In Li Wendi's eyes, the Jews have always been a profit-seeking nation and a race that does not know how to be grateful, otherwise they would not have wandered for more than 2000 years without establishing a decent country.

Therefore, Li Wendi does not think that offending them is a big deal, because even if you do not offend them, they will still decisively abandon you if it is profitable for them.
