Chapter 253 [Pregnancy Jianfeng Garment Investment]

"Li Xin is pregnant, it's been three weeks." Zhao Yazhi said happily, "You're going to be a father soon."

Li Wendi was completely stunned. This was the first time he had heard such news in his past and present life. He didn't know how to react for a moment.

Seeing Li Wendi's serious expression, Huang Lixin immediately thought that Li Wendi did not like the arrival of this child or did not like her being pregnant, but this was an important guarantee for her to gain a foothold, otherwise there was a risk of being abandoned at any time.

"Don't you like this child?" Huang Lixin couldn't hide the worry on her face.

"Ah," Li Wendi said with a smile, "No! As long as it's my child, how could I not like it?"

Li Wendi thought of some bad points again, put away his smile, and asked, "Who else knows about this? You didn't tell Qijun, did you?"

Huang Lixin and Zhao Yazhi looked at each other, with an expression of "as expected". Huang Lixin shook her head and said, "No, only a few of us know about it now."

Li Wendi saw the two women's concerns, so she smiled and explained, "If I tell Qijun in advance, I will be in a very passive position. Once I have arranged this matter, I will tell Qijun in person. You guys keep it a secret for now."

"Yeah!" Huang Lixin nodded, while Zhao Yazhi looked thoughtful.

"Since you're pregnant, you deserve a reward. What do you want?" Li Wendi said to Huang Lixin to comfort her.

Speaking of rewards, Huang Lixin's eyes flashed with a gleam, and she said coquettishly, "I want a clothing company."

Li Wendi thought for a moment and said, "You're doing well in the jewelry company, why are you interested in clothing?"

"I don't want to work under someone else. I want to be a real boss lady." Huang Lixin said with a pout.

Considering the baby in Huang Lixin's belly, Li Wendi agreed. It was a gift to the baby in advance. "Okay, I'll go look for someone. It will take some time. You should still work at the jewelry company during this time."

Huang Lixin felt that Li Wendi was just trying to fool her, and now he was trying to use his son as a threat to control the sponsor. "How long will it take?"

"It's April now, and it should be done in the first half of the year," Li Wendi responded.

Hearing this, Huang Lixin also became happy.

Zhao Yazhi was very smart. Seeing this, she quickly lay on Li Wendi's chest, drawing circles with her fingers, and said softly, "If I get pregnant, Brother Wendi, you have to give me a company, and the scale cannot be smaller than Li Xin's clothing company."

"Okay! As long as you listen to my instructions, the company's affairs will be a piece of cake." Li Wendi was of course just making big promises.

Zhao Yazhi got a satisfactory promise, and served Li Wendi naturally and vigorously in the room at night.

The news of Huang Lixin's pregnancy came at an inopportune time, but Li Wendi was still happy because she could finally have her own child.

As for how to tell He Qijun, Li Wendi hasn't figured it out yet.

The next morning, when Li Wendi went to work, he asked Zhang Wentao to help keep an eye on the affairs of the clothing company.

Who knew that Zhang Wentao got a set of information that afternoon for Li Wendi's reference.

Li Wendi looked at the information and his expression was not so good. The company was indeed good, but it was a bit too large.

"Why does Hutchison Group want to sell Jianfeng Garment Investment Company? Is it because of financial problems?" Li Wendi asked Zhang Wentao.

Zhang Wentao was confused as to why his boss was interested in the clothing company, which had nothing to do with his business.

"Recently, Hutchison Group has been frantically selling the equity of its subsidiaries, including its Asian Investment Company and Hutchison International. This is a strategy of the new boss Willis to restructure the assets, not a financial problem of the subsidiaries." Zhang Wentao stated, "The asset value of Jianfeng Garment Investment Company is still relatively high-quality. It controls Hefeng Enterprise Company, which is equivalent to buy one get one free. However, another shareholder of Jianfeng Garment Investment Company is Nan Fung Textile United Company. If we want to acquire it, there may be fierce bidding."

"Jinfeng Garment Investment Company and Wo Fung Enterprise Company both have large areas of factory land in Tsuen Wan and Sai Wan in the New Territories. If developed, there should be good profits." Li Wendi said thoughtfully, "But this is my personal business, and I don't plan to let the company get involved." "Boss, although the Hong Kong government has announced the development of new towns to reduce the population pressure on Hong Kong Island, no one can say when it will be successfully developed. However, the factory land in Sai Wan is worth investing in." Zhang Wentao didn't care whether it was a personal or company business. The boss had the final say, so of course he had to work hard.

"Kwai Chung has a container terminal, so development will not be delayed." Li Wendi shook his head and said, "The land in Sai Wan should be developed as soon as possible, preferably as an office building. That place is not suitable for building a residential area."

"Then should Changxin Real Estate Company take a stake? Zhang Wentao quickly sought benefits for the company.

"Okay, let's take over the shares of Jianfeng Garment Investment Company first. Please help me make an appointment with Wells of Hutchison Group. I want to talk to Wells in person." Li Wendi said thoughtfully.

Although the garment industry will not be prosperous for many years, the factory land in this industry is very good. If I can get to know more colleagues in the same field through this opportunity, I can expand in the future by adopting the method of "I pay for the construction, they provide the land, and we split the profits equally."

This method has been verified by Li Jiacheng in his previous life and is successful, so Li Wendi can use it directly.

Wells is not Stephen Schmidt of HSBC, who needs to consider many issues such as the management team and management capabilities of the target company. Wells is only concerned about the profit of Hutchison Group and how to get rid of the company's debt crisis as quickly as possible.

Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Central
Wells was holding a goblet with red wine swaying slightly in his hand.

Li Wendi smiled politely and said, "Under the management of Mr. Willis, Hutchison Group is about to return to normal. The stock price continues to rise."

Wells said calmly, "I heard that Mr. Li bought 2000 million shares of Hutchison Group. He bought them at a low price and should have made a lot of profit."

"I did make a lot of money, and I have to thank Mr. Wells for that." Li Wendi praised Wells.

"Why is Mr. Li interested in Jianfeng Garment Investment Company? Is Mr. Li interested in the land under the company?" Willis waved his hand and asked.

"That's one of the reasons," Li Wendi replied. "Please give me a price and see if I can afford it."

"Jianfeng Garment Investment Company holds a controlling stake in a Hefeng Enterprise. This is a buy-one-get-one-free deal. The asking price is 2000 million." Wells stared at Li Wendi and said, obviously this was a premium.

"Haha! Mr. Willis is really good at doing business. As far as I know, Hutchison Group holds 41% of the shares of Jianfeng Garment Investment Company, and the asset value is between 1700 million and 1900 million. Your asking price is a bit high." Li Wendi didn't want to be a sucker. This was not a company that he had to take over. "According to the asset value of 41 million, 800% of the shares are only worth more than million."

"Mr. Li, Jianfeng Garment Investment Company has more than one buyer, there is also the powerful Nanfeng Textile United Company, and the asset value of Jianfeng Garment Investment Company is not as low as it seems." Wells said as if he didn't care.

"1000 million, 2000 million is impossible." Li Wendi said seriously.

Wei Lisi said, "No! 1000 million is too low. Considering that Mr. Li is an acquaintance, let's go with 1800 million. Nan Fung Textile United Company offered 1700 million."

"Since Nanfong Textile United Company is willing to pay such a high price, Mr. Wells should just sell it to them." Li Wendi didn't believe what Wells said at all. The boss of Nanfong Textile United Company was not a fool. In times of economic downturn, few people could come up with so much cash.

Wei Lisi smiled without any embarrassment and said, "Mr. Li, please continue to bid."

Obviously, Nan Fung Textile United Company's bid was not high, and only they knew the exact amount.

"1200 million! This is my final offer. A price that is too high is not worth it." Li Wendi raised two fingers with a calm expression.

"1300 million!" Wells continued to raise the price.

Finally, the price was agreed upon at 1230 million.

Li Wendi guessed that Wells had negotiated with the people from Nan Fung Textile Corporation many times and had exhausted all means. The price would not be higher than 1200 million, so Wells was able to reach a deal so smoothly.

"I heard that Hutchison Group has been in trouble recently. I have met Mr. Chen Detai of Dachang Real Estate Company several times. If it is a minor issue, I am willing to be the middleman to help both parties end the dispute." Li Wendi took a sip of red wine.

Willis's face changed slightly. "Mr. Li, this is not a personal matter. It concerns the long-term interests of the Hutchison Group. Mr. Li, you are not the first person to come here to lobby. Of course, I am willing to give you face, but I hope Chen Detai can hand over all the rights and interests of Hutchison House."
