Chapter 344 342 [Everyone Wants to Do Real Estate]

As their wedding date is approaching, Li Wendi still has to take care of the He family, especially He Zhongmou, the second-generation heir of the He family.

Therefore, Li Wendi personally called this "nominal elder" He Zhongmou and asked him to meet at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Central to discuss the cooperation.

Mandarin Oriental Hotel
He Zhongmou appeared with his two sons, one in front and two behind, who seemed to be bodyguards, and they looked very impressive.

"Wendi, long time no see." He Zhongmou greeted Li Wendi as soon as he entered the door, with a smile in his eyes.

He Zhongmou sometimes thought that if Li Wendi was his son-in-law, the He family would become rich and would have no problem entering the top 50 of the Hong Kong Chinese rich list. Unlike his eldest brother's family, they had little interest in money.

Li Wendi greeted He Zhongmou and nodded to his two brothers-in-law, "It's been a while since we last met. Everyone is very busy."

"We are all relatives, we should visit each other more often." He Zhongmou smiled kindly and sat down next to Li Wendi. His two sons sat down beside him one after another.

"Our family recently acquired a small real estate company and wants to engage in real estate development. I think Sister Jun has already told you about it. What do you mean?" The youngest son He Yonglin, who is always impatient, spoke in a questioning attitude.

Li Wendi did not answer. He glanced at his brother-in-law and drank from his teacup. "Of course I have to keep in touch with my relatives, but I have too many relatives to remember them all. I am also afraid that others will take advantage of me, so I have developed the habit of treating business as business and treating personal relationships as personal relationships."

He Yonglin was too tactless. Li Wendi asked them father and son out to pave the way for the He family. Now that He Yonglin questioned them, things started to go wrong.

Li Wendi has achieved his current status through his own hard work, not with the support of the He family. It is not the He family's turn to ask for anything, and they are not qualified to do so.

"Shut up! Do you need to teach Wendi how to do things?" He Zhongmou quickly scolded He Yonglin and spoke kindly to Li Wendi, saying, "Wendi, don't be offended. Yonglin has always been quick-tempered and outspoken."

Li Wendi smiled and said, "If an employee in my company said something like this to me, I would ban him from the whole of Hong Kong. Bao Fuda from Hong Kong Land also said something similar to me before, so I targeted Hong Kong Land for a while."

Hearing this, the father and his two sons looked at each other in bewilderment. No one dared to doubt that Li Wendi was lying, because the feud between the Cheung Kong Group and the Jardine Matheson Land Development Company was long-standing and they had fought fiercely in the past, but recently they had been developing on their own and there had been fewer conflicts. They seemed to have forgotten that Li Wendi was also a person with a bad temper.

"I will still give Qijun face. The Baiqi Real Estate Company you acquired is not well-known in the industry, but it is small but complete, and has good real estate development experience." Li Wendi changed the subject to ease the tense atmosphere. "As I said just now, business is business. Let's follow market rules. The profit will be split 50-50. The construction fee will be paid by Changxin Group, and the people of Baiqi Real Estate will learn from their experience."

He Zhongmou certainly didn't want to follow the rules of the market, he just wanted to get something for nothing. After all, Changxin Group was a big company and didn't need these trivial things.

At He Zhongmou's suggestion, He Yonglin spoke again, "If it were in accordance with market rules, we wouldn't need to bother you."

Li Wendi glanced at He Zhongmou and He Yongjian, and said with a smile, "In that case, Uncle San should find those old friends to cooperate. To be honest, Changxin Group is developing 31 sites at the same time, which is very stressful."

He Zhongmou knew that he could not gain more benefits from Li Wendi, so he tried to smooth things over by saying, "That's all Yonglin's nonsense. Baiqi Real Estate still needs to find a large company like Changxin Group to cooperate with."

There are benefits to cooperating with Changxin Group. It is a big deal to use the company's name to do big things. Many people will definitely give more face to Changxin Group for its sake.

He Zhongmou wanted to control Li Wendi without considering his own capabilities. To put it bluntly, even if He Zefeng came, Li Wendi might not give him face the whole time.

The cooperation was negotiated, but the details still needed to be discussed, so Li Wendi did not have the time to continue the conversation. These matters were usually left to his subordinates.

Deep Water Bay Villa

This is Zhao Yazhi’s private villa. Li Wendi bought it and gave it to her.

Li Wendi was lying on the sofa with her head resting on Zhao Yazhi's thighs, and Zhao Yazhi was feeding her grapes from time to time.

After Jianfeng Garment Investment Company was acquired by Changxin Group, Hefeng Enterprise Company was also incorporated into the management system. Although no one dared to touch Zhao Yazhi, there were many factions within the company, and Zhao Yazhi faced many constraints in doing things, so she had the idea of ​​withdrawing. Now she envies Huang Lixin for being able to do whatever she wants in Xinwan Jewelry Company.

"Can I not go to work at Hefeng Enterprise?" Zhao Yazhi said dejectedly.

Li Wendi asked knowingly, "What's the reason? What do you want to do? Do you still want to be a young lady?"

"I want to have my own company like Li Xin, instead of being questioned every day. As for what to do, I haven't decided yet. Do you have any suggestions?" Zhao Yazhi stuffed a peeled grape into Li Wendi's mouth.

Li Wendi felt that Zhao Yazhi was a difficult woman to control. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "Why don't you go into real estate like me?"

Zhao Yazhi's eyes lit up, and she said hastily, "Okay, but I don't have that much capital to buy a real estate company."

Li Wendi glanced at Zhao Yazhi's chin and asked, "How much money do you have now?"

Zhao Yazhi pursed her lips, "About 120 million, that's all I have, and some are in stocks." "No need to buy a real estate company. I'll have someone register a company for you, and you can find a few trusted people in the original company to help you out, and I'll inject another 80 into your capital, making up 200 million." Li Wendi continued, "You can buy the residential buildings developed by Changxin Group or some stores of other companies, or even villas and mansions, all with a 3% payment and a 7% loan."

"I can't guarantee how much you can earn, but it's certain that you'll be worth 500 million next year."

"Okay. I'm not afraid of losing money if you help me." Zhao Yazhi said coquettishly, "Then I should use the rent to pay the interest?"

"Yes! Rent and interest." Li Wendi said, "This job is much easier than working at a garment company. You can go shopping with Li Xin more often."

Zhao Yazhi shook her head and said, "All the money has been invested. Where would I get the money to go shopping? I can't keep spending Li Xin's money."

This is a disguised way of asking Li Wendi for money.

Li Wendi has always been generous, so he sat up, took out a checkbook from his briefcase, wrote a check for 100 million to Zhao Yazhi, "80 is for investment, and 20 is for your pocket money."

"Thank you!" Zhao Yazhi took the check, looked at it, and kissed Li Wendi on the cheek.

"Go shopping when you need to go shopping, play when you need to play, and just don't cause me any trouble." Li Wendi smiled faintly.

"Humph! Who dares to cause trouble for you, my Li Daheng!" Zhao Yazhi asked again, "Is your wedding with my elder sister next month? Can I attend?"

Li Wendi laughed and said, "Why are you here? To join in the fun? If you are photographed by reporters, it will be really lively."

Zhao Yazhi said awkwardly, "Okay, if I don't want to attend, then I won't attend. When you get married, we'll go shopping in Central. We can't let ourselves get hurt."

"Okay, go ahead. I'll pay for the whole day." Li Wendi pinched Zhao Yazhi's little face.

Zhao Yazhi said mischievously, "Then let me see if there is a whole commercial building for sale that day so that I can bleed a lot of money."

"Really? Heavy bleeding? I'm going to make sure you can't get out of bed today." Li Wendi picked up Zhao Yazhi and walked towards the bedroom on the second floor. Zhao Yazhi was laughing so hard that she was shaking.

Run Run Shaw was a man with a strong sense of revenge. For example, when Raymond Chow and Ho Koon-chang left home to establish Golden Harvest Entertainment, he let Shaw Brothers Film Company target the two for many years.

You know, there were quite a few film companies in Hong Kong at that time, but Shaw Brothers was the only one that dominated the market. However, they chose to set up Golden Harvest Entertainment Company.

His feud with Li Wendi did not result in a clear winner, so the film "The Legend of Gangsters" produced by Shaw Brothers Film Company was released as scheduled, and Run Run Shaw sent people to major newspapers to buy the front-page headlines for publicity.

The popularity of the movie "The Legend of Big Bang Theory" topped the list and became a topic of conversation among Hong Kong citizens after dinner.

Everyone around Li Wendi was very angry, except him who just smiled and didn't say much. There were even reporters who surrounded Li Wendi, hoping that he could make some comments, but he avoided the topic.

So those reporters began to make unscrupulous speculations. Some said that Li Wendi was guilty, some said that Li Wendi didn't want to pay attention, and some even said that Li Wendi was afraid of Run Run Shaw, and that the Hong Kong film tycoon was not just a title.

Scandals in this world always become more popular the more they are explained away, and newspapers also hope to make more money from them.

Li Wendi believes that choosing to remain silent and ignore is the best way to deal with it, otherwise it would only increase the box office of Run Run Shaw's movies.

On the first day, the box office of "The Big Bang Theory" exceeded 20 yuan, which surprised Li Wendi a little. He didn't expect that such a rubbish movie would have such a good box office.

The box office on the second day was not much different from that on the first day, just over 19 yuan.

The box office in the first week did not exceed 100 million yuan, but was more than 90 yuan, but it was already a good result.

Run Run Shaw was naturally beaming with joy, because not only did he get his revenge, he also made a good profit, which was killing two birds with one stone.

However, Li Wendi put the matter behind him because the original building of the Grand Court in Causeway Bay had been demolished, the project entered the construction stage, and the design drawings of the commercial building had already been released.

Li Wendi and the Li family were very satisfied with this, so Li Wendi asked Wenyan Construction Company to enter the site as soon as possible and strive to complete the construction project in the first half of next year.

Li Wendi wants the Grand Hyatt to become a landmark in Causeway Bay in the next few years, to make it a hit and to bring back more funds for the Changxin Group.

Knowing that Causeway Bay would become one of the most outstanding places for retail industry in the world and that the shop rents would be outrageously high, Li Wendi began to collect small plots of land in Causeway Bay and build small shops and small shopping malls to lay a solid foundation for his future rental business.
