Chapter 328 Chapter 326 [Can’t Lose Face]

Li Wendi handed over the signing of the contract with Dengjia Real Estate Company to Zhang Wentao. He really did not have so much time to deal with and wait with Deng Jiaren and others.

In fact, the current situation of the Deng family was within Li Wendi's expectations. Deng Jiaren had the ability to maintain the status quo, but not much ability to make progress. If it weren't for the "female Zhuge" Deng Xiaotong, the situation of Deng's Real Estate Company would have been even more difficult.

There are some things that you can learn and use well without a high level of education.

The small residential building in Sai Wan is a good treasure. According to Li Wendi, these three sites can bring nearly 2000 million yuan in profits to Changxin Real Estate Company.

If they could earn 77 million yuan by early 2000, it would be a huge amount of money for Changxin Real Estate Company to make money.

Junfu Jewellery Company
After more than a year of cleaning, the impact of the "rat goods" incident has almost disappeared. Coupled with the preferential measures instructed by Li Wendi, Junfu Jewelry Company's stores have gradually returned to their original situation, with daily sales reaching 50 yuan, and even showing an upward trend.

"The recent sales are very good, comparable to the situation in the previous two years." Li Wendi closed the report and said to He Qijun expressionlessly.

He Qijun focused her main energy on the Qinian Newspaper Company. The Junfu Jewelry Company was mainly managed by outsiders, and the two of them were responsible for decision-making.

At first, Li Wendi wanted He Qijun to manage the company, but who knew that He Qijun had to manage more and more companies, so she took the initiative to give up the management rights of some companies. Otherwise, Zhao Yazhi would not have wanted to dominate Hefeng Enterprise alone.

He Qijun shook her head. "Compared to Chow Sang Sang, Chow Tai Fook, and King Fook, we are still far behind. According to what I have heard, King Fook Jewellery alone made nearly 5000 million yuan in profit last year, while we only made a pitiful 700 million yuan, not even close to the bottom of the three major jewellery companies."

Li Wendi smiled and said, "Who told you not to focus on Junfu Jewelry Company? The founders of the three major jewelry companies all pay great attention to the development of their jewelry companies. Even if they have other industries under their umbrella, they never put the cart before the horse."

Cheng Yu-tung of Chow Tai Fook Jewellery owns New World Development, one of the "Five Tigers of Chinese Capital", and Yang Zhiyun of King Fook Jewellery owns Miramar Hotel Company.
Of course, Li Wendi is also responsible here, but to a lesser extent than He Qijun.

He Qijun had nothing to say. It was she who asked for the management rights of Junfu Jewelry Company in the first place. Now putting the blame on Li Wendi seemed a little inconsistent with her personality.

"It will be very difficult for Qi Nian Newspapers to become a top company in Hong Kong by relying solely on the newspaper industry like Sing Tao Newspaper Group and Ming Pao Group. After all, this is an era of flourishing newspapers." Li Wendi glanced at He Qijun who was thinking for a while, and continued, "If they use the 'half newspaper, half real estate' model, they can surpass Sing Tao Newspaper Group in a few years."

"In that case, you can also pay more attention to the affairs of jewelry companies and clothing companies. Maybe these companies can become part of the newspaper in the future." Li Wendi painted a big picture for He Qijun.

He Qijun is not like Huang Lixin. She knows that it is impossible for Li Wendi to merge Junfu Jewelry into the Qinian Newspaper, but the clothing company has a good chance.

However, the clothing industry has shown signs of decline and seems to be entering a recession, which will not be of much benefit to the Qinian Newspaper.

"Okay! I will spend more time on Junfu Jewelry Company." He Qijun was still unwilling to give up the management rights of Junfu Jewelry Company, fearing that it would benefit some mistress.

"Is the price of gold going to rise recently? You actually used the funds of Starlight Real Estate Company." He Qijun changed the subject.

"There is no sign of an increase for the time being. Xingguang Real Estate Company's idle funds need to be invested in a direction, and there are not many good stocks in the stock market, so they invested in the gold market." Li Wendi hesitated, "It's already the lowest price, it shouldn't fall any further, and the possibility of an increase is relatively high."

"Qinian Newspaper has a lot of idle funds in its account. Should I use it to buy gold?" He Qijun asked. As far as Li Wendi knew, these idle funds were all intended to be used by He Qijun to invest in real estate. Then he could "transfer the funds from the left hand to the right hand" and make some money from the Qinian Newspaper Company.

If they don't make the money, half of it will be distributed to shareholders. It's better for them to make it themselves.

Li Wendi was a little confused as to why he was willing to take it out now.

He Qijun saw Li Wendi's doubts and explained, "The current property prices are not low. I don't think there will be much increase in the short term. Besides, the funds of Qinian Newspaper Company are not much. I don't know when we can acquire those properties. So it's better to buy gold."

Li Wendi didn't quite understand this idea. The property price increase was fine, but He Qijun actually complained that the increase was too slow. She was really too greedy.

"Okay, but we have to take it slow and not attract certain people's attention. No matter what, the money should not be too dazzling." Li Wendi said lightly.

If you buy more, you can earn more in a few years, and there will be no danger of shortage of Junfu Jewelry Company's inventory. Maybe it can be sold in large quantities through Junfu Jewelry's stores in the future.

Changxin Real Estate Company
Li Wendi hung up the phone call with Zou Wenhuai from Golden Harvest Entertainment Company with a mocking look on his face.

Run Run Shaw's "The Movie Tycoon" is about to be released. Seeing that the popularity of the movie has dropped a lot, Zou Wenhuai wants to spend some money to stir up the popularity again in preparation for the next box office success.

Of course, Li Wendi doesn't care. As for the lawsuit with Run Run Shaw, it is still going on. This is the second lawsuit filed by Run Run Shaw, and he lost the first time.

In his previous life, few people were willing to cause trouble for Run Run Shaw in this regard, because no one wanted to start this process. After all, every tycoon has a dirty trick. Even a guy like Li Jiacheng who had no interest in women was slandered for having some shameful relationship with Li Jiaxin.

It is conceivable how powerful the gossip in Hong Kong is. If the tycoons were to suffer from the gossip and their families were ruined, they would be extremely exhausted.

However, this was what Run Run Shaw had originally proposed to threaten Li Wendi, and Li Wendi is now just "returning the tables".

Of course, Li Wendi didn't get any benefits, but he no longer cared so much about the scandal.

When Run Run Shaw saw the descriptions in newspapers and magazines, he was very angry and wanted to cut Li Wendi and Zou Wenhuai into pieces. After calming down, he thought about whether he could have a talk with Zou Wenhuai and have the movie withdrawn, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

So he started a new round of office 'thing smashing' activities, with crackling noises, which scared the secretaries outside, who were afraid that Run Run Shaw's anger would be vented on them.

As for the outside world, the citizens all looked like spectators, holding a newspaper or magazine, reading about Run Run Shaw's romantic affairs and the popular stars in the movies.

"This movie should be interesting. I plan to go see it. The description on paper is never as good as the movie." The man in the baseball cap said with a chuckle, a little excitement on his face.

"Haha!! I heard that this movie has hired several porn stars as stand-ins. We can feast our eyes on them. It's good to be a movie tycoon. You can sleep with any female stars you want." The friend next to him echoed, also with a look of anticipation.
