Chapter 391 389 [Red TV Station]

Baochuan Wang is a kind man and is well-known in Hong Kong. Without the company's major shareholder asking for help, Baochuan Wang usually would not take the initiative to help. Kai Tak Property Company is an exception because it was Li Wendi who was behind it.

Therefore, the acquisition of Baohua Construction Company did not cause much stir, and even reporters had no way of knowing that Baohua Construction Company had changed its major shareholder.

However, some reporters captured some actions of Changxin Group, so many reporters blocked Li Wendi's car, hoping to get some explanation.

"Mr. Li, why did Changxin Group suspend its acquisition of Baohua Construction Company? Changxin Group has never given up halfway. Did it encounter any major problems, such as a shortage of funds?" The female reporter's words were very sharp, as if if Li Wendi didn't answer, they would write an article saying 'Changxin Group stopped acquiring Baohua Construction Company and suspected that there was a big problem with its capital chain'.

Li Wendi knew the routines of these reporters very well. If he didn't answer at this time, it would definitely be misrepresented, so he replied, "This is the plan of Changxin Group. The original estimated acquisition funds were only 3 million yuan, but now it is very likely to soar to 5 million yuan, and the board of directors of Baohua Construction Company has agreed to let Changxin Group become its director."

"In fact, Changxin Group's first goal was to develop its large-scale land. Wenyan Construction Company cannot fully undertake so many projects, so it needs a strong construction company to join. Now that Baohua Construction Company is helping, Changxin Group plans to use this money for other purposes."

"I heard that Baohua Construction Company had close contact with Kai Tak Real Estate Company. I wonder if the charter king personally came forward?"

Li Wendi laughed and said, "You should ask Kai Tak Real Estate Company and Charter King about this matter. Do you have any other questions?"

"From Mr. Li's answer just now, he said that Baohua Construction Company will cooperate with Changxin Group. I wonder which real estate projects they will cooperate with? Can you tell me?"

“There is no conclusion yet, but it is very likely a property in the Quarry Bay area.” Li Wendi glanced at the male reporter and said.

These reporters asked questions for half an hour. If Li Wendi hadn't been worried that these people would write nonsense, he would not have had time to deal with them.

However, Li Wendi's answer about Baohua Construction Company did not seem to have much effect. The next day's newspaper published photos of the charter king's car appearing in the Admiralty Harbourfront Center Building, which also included a clear photo of the charter king.

The news that the ship owner was ill had already spread throughout Hong Kong. There were only a handful of people who could be visited by the ship owner despite being ill. Therefore, the outside world was more certain that the acquisition of Baohua Construction Company by Changxin Group came to an abrupt halt because of the mediation of the ship owner.

As a result, the share price of Po Wah Construction Company began to be chased by investors. After all, two super-rich people invested in Po Wah Construction Company. The future of Po Wah Construction was bright, and it was just a matter of time before it became one of the top three construction companies in Hong Kong.

When Li Wendi saw such reports, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly. These reporters were the uncrowned kings, and no news could escape their speculation.

However, it is also a good thing for Baohua Construction Company. This move will definitely bring more business to Baohua Construction.

Mandarin Oriental Hotel
The waiters took turns serving the dishes, all of which were expensive and fragrant.

Li Wendi and Hong Kong's famous strong woman Zhou Liangsuyi sat across from each other. Both of them seemed to be not very interested in the dishes on the table and had no intention of picking up their chopsticks.

Li Wendi smiled and said, "I have heard of Ms. Zhou Liang's name for a long time. She had no interest in the high salary and power of TVB, but now she has become a famous female member of the Legislative Council. She is really a role model for women."

Li Wendi came to meet after reading Zhou Liang Shuyi's information. He must pay attention to this woman because she is the most suitable candidate for the manager of ATV.

"When it comes to fame, how can I compare with Mr. Li Wendi, the chairman of Cheung Kong Group and Wharf Holdings? Mr. Li's name can often be heard in front of the British." Zhou Liang Suk-yee replied.

"Mr. Li asked me out today, isn't it just to flatter me?" Zhou Liang Shuyi said with a polite smile. Li Wendi scooped a bowl of soup with a spoon and responded, "Of course not! I know Ms. Zhou Liang opened a record company, I wonder if she is also interested in managing a TV station?"

Zhou Liang Shuyi thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Li, hasn't TVB been handed over to Mr. Run Run Shaw to run it? There shouldn't be a place for me, right?"

"Haha!! There is more than one TV station in Hong Kong, TVB." Li Wendi laughed.

"Mr. Li, are you talking about Rediffusion Television?! Mr. Li, you are the chairman of Infinite Broadcasting Corporation, why do you want to acquire Rediffusion Television?" Zhou Liang Shuyi couldn't understand the deeper meaning of Li Wendi's actions.

"It's simple! I want a TV station that can do what I want, not a TV station that has so many constraints." Li Wendi said, "Ms. Zhou Liang has worked at TVB, so she should know some of the things there."

Zhou Liang Suk-yee nodded. There were many factions in TVB. Even during the Lee Ho-wo era, Run Run Shaw's faction was not easy to deal with. At that time, Lee Ho-wo did not support her work very much, which led to her leaving ATV with a group of senior administrative staff.

However, Li Wendi is very strong in doing things, and Zhou Liangsuki herself is not a weak person, otherwise she would not have left the prosperous TVB. So Zhou Liangsuki is still a little worried that she will have a conflict with Li Wendi.

"Mr. Li, I have my own ideas about things and am not very suitable to work under you. I'm afraid I will let you down." Zhou Liang Shuyi said.

Li Wendi put away his smile and tried to persuade him, "I have a lot of companies under my umbrella. If I have to manage every company myself, I won't be able to handle it even if I have two people. You will be in charge of the daily management of ATV. I will only be responsible for making decisions on some major matters."

Hearing this, Zhou Liang Shuyi was silent for a moment, and said, "I'll think about it and give you an answer the day after tomorrow."

"Okay! I look forward to good news from Ms. Zhou Liang." Li Wendi said with a faint smile.

Zhou Liang Shuyi is a good spender, but Li Wendi has no other good choice and can only make do with it.

As Li Wendi expected, on the third day, Zhou Liang Shuyi called to inform her that she was willing to work at ATV, but she would need two months to deal with the record company's affairs.

Of course Li Wendi agreed, and he has not yet formally discussed the acquisition with Husheng Group, so it will take some time to process.

In 81, after New Year's Day, Li Jiacheng and Li Wendi met with Willis, the general manager of Husheng Group, to discuss the sale of ATV.

Willis is a genuine European, with short blond hair and a beard covering half of his face, making him look like an orangutan.

After the three of them greeted each other, Willis took the lead in making an offer and said, "After discussion among the group, the price of 51% of Rediffusion Television's shares is 6 million yuan. According to Hong Kong people, this number is very auspicious and everyone will get rich."

Li Wendi and Li Jiacheng looked at each other and said, "3.8 million yuan seems more auspicious, it will help to generate wealth."

"No, no! 3.8 million yuan is impossible. The difference is too big." Willis waved his hand and said, of course, 6 million yuan to acquire 51% of the shares is expensive, but 3.8 million yuan seems a bit outrageous.
