Started from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 417 415 [Joint Acquisition]

"Uncle Tong, how can I ask you to pay these interests?" Li Wendi saw that Zheng Yutong was so righteous and didn't know what to say.

Yang Zhiyun also quickly said, "Okay, then it's 700 million in interest, but it must be paid by Xingguang Real Estate Company."

"Okay, I accept the consequences." Li Wendi sighed. If Zheng Yutong gave the interest, and it got out, he, Li Wendi, would have no chance to stay in Hong Kong.

"Haha!! The problem is solved. Wendi, Zhiyun, you can't hold grudges. We are all friends, and there is still plenty of money to be made in Hong Kong." Zheng Yutong has always been good at being a peacemaker.

"Mr. Li, it's not that I must ask for your interest, it's just that the Swire Properties and the Carrian Group have delayed the final payment for too long, and I can't swallow this." At Zheng Yutong's suggestion, Yang Zhiyun lowered his posture. After all, it was the Miramar Hotel that benefited.

For Zheng Yutong's sake, Li Wendi could only pretend to be generous and said, "Forget it. I got a lot of bargains. I will pay the remaining 18 billion yuan as soon as possible."

"Wendy, if your family company doesn't have so much money, I can help and take a stake in it." Zheng Yutong laughed. This is a very good project. The completed floor area is at least 300 million square feet. It will definitely pay back within ten years.

"Okay, you can transfer 30% of the equity." Li Wendi was willing to give to a good guy like Zheng Yutong.

"30% is 30%." Zheng Yutong said with a smile, "You have got a lot of good projects recently. If you were not reluctant, I would also like to participate in the Central Bus Terminal project."

Li Wendi laughed and said, "There is no way to deal with that project. All the subsidiaries have taken up all the equity. Even my family company has no share."

"But I have a great project. Can I talk to Uncle Tong alone later?"

"Okay, the project you can come up with will definitely not be bad." Zheng Yutong knew Li Wendi very well. This project must be very big, so big that Li Wendi could not swallow it all.

Yang Zhiyun just sat there doing nothing. He had no chance to interrupt what was said. The Yang family was not specialized in real estate. Its other businesses included hotels and gold and jewelry.

After Yang Zhiyun and his son left, Li Wendi and Zheng Yutong talked about the project. Zheng Yutong frowned at first, and then burst into laughter.

"Others say that I'm very brave, but I think you're even braver than me. You even dare to acquire the Jardine Matheson Group. But to be honest, the Jardine Matheson Group is now at its weakest, and this is also the best time to take action," said Zheng Yutong.

"I have already set my target, which is to swallow up all the properties of Jardine Matheson in Causeway Bay. What does Uncle Tong want to get from Jardine Matheson?" Li Wendi said with a cunning smile.

"You have a big appetite. The Hong Kong Land Properties in Causeway Bay are worth at least HK$20 billion." Zheng Yutong responded, "Since you want to take over the Causeway Bay properties, then I will take over the Hong Kong Land Properties' several commercial buildings in Central."

"Uncle Tong, you have quite an appetite." Li Wendi restrained his smile and said, "I don't think it's possible for Hong Kong Land to hand over the four core commercial buildings in Central. Uncle Tong should order something else, otherwise we have to buy Hong Kong Land."

Zheng Yutong certainly knew that if they touched the most central commercial building of the Hong Kong Jardine Matheson Group in Central, Jardine Matheson Group would definitely fight them to the death, so it seemed that the loss outweighed the gain.

"Last year, the Hong Kong Land Development acquired a number of commercial buildings on Ice House Street in Central. Now, five of them have been acquired by Wheelock Properties. I want all the remaining ones. What do you think?" said Zheng Yutong.

"Of course you can. The Hong Kong property company also has a lot of land and properties in the Mid-Levels area. Uncle Tong can also make some plans for them." Li Wendi said with a smile.

Zheng Yutong shook his head. "Behind the Jardine Matheson Group stands the Landmark Company. Our strength is still not enough. Why not release the things in the Mid-Levels and bring in an ally? What do you think?"

Li Wendi nodded. Of course, he had no objection. This cake was taken from Zheng Yutong. As long as it did not affect his interests in Causeway Bay, everything else would be fine. "Who do you think would be a good choice to bring in, Uncle Tong?"

"I want to bring in Li Jiacheng from Cheung Kong Holdings. He's bold and has a close relationship with HSBC. He might be able to help us at a critical moment." Zheng Yutong said thoughtfully. Li Wendi nodded, "Okay! Let Uncle Tong contact Li Jiacheng, but I still think we can bring in one more person to balance it out."

"Oh? Who do you want to pull in? It can't be Bao Yugang, right?" Zheng Yutong said with a smile.

Li Wendi said, "Even if it's Bao Yugang, when it comes to cash flow, even I may not be able to compare with the shipping king."

"The shipping industry is in decline now, but the charter king did sell a lot of ships, which brought back a lot of cash flow and has a close relationship with HSBC. With these two people joining, HSBC should not say much, and it may even help us to successfully acquire the company." Zheng Yutong changed the subject, "The most difficult thing to say is whether the property in the Mid-Levels is enough for the two tycoons to share?"

"Since there is not enough to go around, let the Jardine Matheson Company get a little more." Li Wendi looked at Zheng Yutong and said cunningly.

"Hahaha!" The two of them suddenly burst into laughter. The assets of the Jardine Matheson Company were abundant, so there was no reason why there would not be enough to share.

"Then let's contact those two separately." Zheng Yutong said.

"it is good!"

In fact, Li Wendi initially wanted to take over the Hutchison Whampoa Group alone, but later found that the Hutchison Whampoa Group and the Jardine Matheson Group were not as simple as he had imagined. Since he had already made enemies, it would be better to weaken the enemies to the minimum.

So, today, I suddenly had an idea to win over Zheng Yutong.

This seems to be the same as the scene in 87 when Chinese companies jointly acquired the Hong Kong Land Development Company in the previous life, except that those key figures are missing.

Bao's Villa in Deep Water Bay

Bao Yugang was not very clear about Li Wendi's purpose of coming, because Li Wendi did not explain it directly, but just said that there was a big project to discuss.

"Mr. Bao, how are you these days?" Li Wendi was the first to greet him. Seeing Wu Guangzheng's growing success, he also greeted him, "Mr. Wu, you look better than before."

"It's been pretty good these days. Although he rarely goes out, I've heard a lot about Mr. Li. Even Singapore's Haw Par International was acquired by Mr. Li. It seems that Mr. Li is going to become the next richest Chinese in the world." Bao Yugang said with a smile.

"It's still a long way off, it's just some small investments." Li Wendi said modestly.

The three of them entered the study, and Wu Guangzheng personally went to open the curtains.

"Mr. Li, do you have any big projects to help me with?" Bao Yugang asked bluntly.

Li Wendi smiled and said, "The entire Landmark Company, is it big enough?"

Wu Guangzheng, who had just sat down, was slightly stunned. He did not expect that Li Wendi was so bold that he actually wanted to take action against the Jardine Matheson Group, which is the largest real estate company in Hong Kong, with the giant Jardine Matheson Group behind it.

Bao Yugang did not respond immediately, but pondered for a long time. Li Wendi did not disturb him.
