Chapter 351 349 [Difficult to Acquire]

Li Wendi did not respond to Wells' question. He certainly knew Shen Bi's purpose. It would be useless to tell Wells that the British were a group of scattered people, even more scattered than the Chinese.

"I heard that Hutchison Whampoa and Cheung Kong Holdings have many cooperation projects. Mr. Willis, don't you plan to suspend them? This will provide a lot of funds for Cheung Kong Holdings." Li Wendi wanted to make Li Jiacheng suffer.

Willis glanced at Li Wendi and thought to himself, 'This guy is really ruthless. On the surface, he is cooperating happily with Cheung Kong Industries, but secretly he wants to destroy Cheung Kong Industries.'

"Thank you Mr. Li for your reminder! I will take care of this matter." said Wells.

Li Wendi raised his goblet and said with a smile, "I wish us success!"

Bang!

The goblets clinked together, making a pleasant sound, and the two of them took a sip of red wine with their own thoughts.

In fact, Li Wendi had already given up the idea of ​​dealing with Li Jiacheng, but unfortunately this guy wanted to curry favor with HSBC, and he didn't want HSBC to be too happy, so he had to deal with them together.

Sunday, November 11

Lee Shau-kee, chairman of Wing Tai Development Company, invited Lee Wen-ti to play golf at the Deep Water Bay Golf Course. The guests included Cheng Yu-tung of New World Development Company, Kwok Tak-seng of Sun Hung Kai Properties, and Fung King-hei of Sun Hung Kai Securities.

They all like to discuss business on the court, which not only allows them to exercise but also helps them to close deals, killing two birds with one stone.

Golf courses with Zheng Yutong usually have D balls, which are now priced at 30 per shot.

Li Wendi has never been very fond of golf. He prefers to go out to sea or climb mountains. However, for the sake of business, he has no choice but to like golf.

"Wendi, I heard that you went to the United States recently. Is there any big business?" Zheng Yutong knew that Li Wendi had disappeared for more than a month, but he didn't know what it was for.

However, judging from the time when Li Wendi disappeared, it was certainly not a trivial matter for him to leave behind so many affairs of the huge group.

Li Wendi was not surprised by this and smiled and said, "I invested in some high-tech companies, not big business. Commercial buildings in New York City are too expensive, costing 1 million US dollars each, and I don't have that much spare money."

"I don't think it's expensive. Now is a period of inflation in the United States. If it were a few years ago, you couldn't buy a commercial building in New York without 1 million US dollars. Now is a good time to act. You can make a 5000% profit in two years." Zheng Yutong said with a smile.

It's a good idea, but unfortunately no one present would invest hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in the US market, because now is the high-speed development period of Hong Kong, only by seizing the opportunity can we make more money. Moreover, Hong Kong is everyone's base camp, there is no reason to invest in foreign countries without developing the base camp well.

"We don't have a lot of funds. We are just planning our future in the United States." Li Wendi said with a wry smile. The confidentiality work of the Bank of Communications was still good. Not many people knew why Li Wendi went to the United States.

After they chatted for a while, Li Zhaoji saw that the time was right, so he walked over to Li Wendi and said, "Mr. Li, can I have a walk with you to talk about something?"

Li Wendi nodded and sat under the white parasol with Li Zhaoji.

"Mr. Li, to be honest, I intend to merge Yongtai Construction and Zhaohe Construction. Can Mr. Li's Hengxin Investment Company transfer the 17% shares of Zhaohe Construction to me?" Li Zhaoji said.

"No problem! Can you tell me why you want to merge with Mega-Construction?" Li Wendi was a little confused about what Li Zhaoji was thinking.

The main business of Mega Construction is construction and land development. It is well-known for its residential buildings and commercial buildings, but it is somewhat inferior to Wing Tai Construction. Wing Tai Construction has been engaged in the demolition and reconstruction of old buildings and the development of small residential land. It has no shortage of land development experience and talents. Mega Construction is not a listed company, so its help to Li Zhaoji is very limited (raising funds for rights issue requires reputation).

“Because Mega Development Company has a 2.8 square feet plot of land in the city, which is connected to a plot of land owned by one of my companies, the combined area will be close to 7 square feet. I plan to build a small residential area there. The most important thing is that Mega Development Company can help Wing Tai Development Company expand its business, and perhaps expand the development sites to 38.” Li Zhaoji explained seriously.

Li Wendi couldn't tell whether what Li Zhaoji said was true or false, but he was happy to do Li Zhaoji a favor.

In fact, Li Zhaoji's development path is similar to that of Li Wendi. Li Zhaoji also extracted a large amount of profits from the stock market to subsidize the development of real estate companies and bought a large number of land exchange rights certificates and old buildings for Henderson Land Development Company.

"I will calculate it based on the existing asset value of Mega Construction and add a 3% premium to it. I will ensure that Mr. Li will not suffer any loss," Li Zhaoji added.

"Okay! Then let's choose a time to go to the law firm to sign the contract." Li Wendi did not hesitate. Li Zhaoji's offer was already not low, and with the favors he had received, he made a lot of money.

Next, Li Wendi reached an agreement on one or two cooperation plans with Guo Desheng and Zheng Yutong, involving a total amount of up to 100 million yuan.

On the third day, Li Wendi signed a contract with Li Zhaoji at the law firm. Li Zhaoji acquired 7800% of Mega Union Holdings' shares from Hengxin Investment Company for RMB 17 million.

Neither Li Wendi nor Li Zhaoji announced this collaboration to the public. Although some reporters photographed Li Wendi and Li Zhaoji appearing at the law firm, both of them avoided talking about the matter.

The law firm also kept strict confidentiality and did not leak any information to reporters, making it difficult for reporters to guess (there were too many directions to guess and they had no idea which one it was).

Hengxin Investment Company
Li Wendi was looking at the report when he inhaled the aroma of coffee. He turned his head and took a look. The coffee was from Lin Dongmei. He sat in Lin Dongmei's seat as soon as he arrived.

Hengxin Investment Company made a profit of more than 1 million yuan from the appreciation of the Japanese yen and its investment in Mega-Union Construction Company. Its current asset value exceeds 5 million yuan, and it can mobilize more than 2 million yuan in funds.

"How is the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa's shares going?" Li Wendi asked. There were few reports on this investment. This was Li Wendi's own request as he did not want the matter to be leaked.

"We acquired about 6.3% and spent nearly 2 million yuan." Lin Dongmei's face was quite solemn.

Li Wendi also frowned. He didn't expect that this stock would consume so much capital. No wonder Li Jiacheng in his previous life spent 7 million yuan to acquire 22.4% of Hutchison Whampoa's shares, and it was the result of HSBC selling them at half the market price.

Although HSBC's shareholding has now dropped to around 16%, it still has sufficient voice as it holds a large number of preferred shares.

"How much money do we have left to use?" Li Wendi asked. There was no other way but to go ahead with it.

"About 6000 million! The rest are stocks or currencies." Lin Dongmei replied.

"Leave 1000 million and continue buying with the remaining 5000 million." Li Wendi ordered.

Lin Dongmei nodded. "Okay! Boss, are you planning to acquire Hutchison Whampoa? This will require a lot of money."

Li Wendi shook his head. "Not necessarily! It depends on the reactions of HSBC, Cheung Kong Holdings and Willis. It is indeed difficult to acquire Hutchison Whampoa, which has a market value of more than 40 billion."

"Don't worry, I have other sources of funds. We don't know who will win by then." Li Wendi thought of the Haifeng Bank and the investment in gold, and suddenly smiled again. If it really doesn't work out, he will mortgage 2 million US dollars of gold to the CITIC Bank in exchange for several hundred million Hong Kong dollars for emergency.
