Chapter 23 Multimillionaire
Zhao Yazhi has been under great pressure recently. The shadow of domestic violence has already disappeared, but today Huang Hanwei brought her a big shot and directly threw him into hell.
Seeing that Zhao Yazhi's mood was not stable, Li Zhiwen did not leave early at night, so he comforted her to sleep. He started working in the kitchen. After all, Li Zhiwen was a poor boy in his previous life. He said that children from poor families were already in their family. Li Zhiwen could cook at the age of thirteen in his previous life, and he could cook any dishes at the age of 18. Li Zhiwen simply cooked four dishes and one soup and called Zhao Yazhi to eat. And her child, because Zhao Yazhi had been abused for a day before, the child was taken out of the house, but when he went to the crew of "Shanghai Band", he could not take care of the children, so Zhao Yazhi took advantage of Huang Hanwei's absence and handed them over to the Filipino maid to take care of him.
"Awen, your skills are really good, which makes me feel very enjoyable." Zhao Yazhi said.
"Of course, if I hadn't had my high talent in writing, I might have been a chef." Li Zhiwen said with a arrogant look of loneliness and defeat.
"It depends on your bad virtues, but it is really a blessing for anyone to marry you." Zhao Yazhi said.
"That's a must. Sister Zhi should consider me?" Li Zhiwen said with a stick as he beat the snake.
"Me? I am a married woman. Although I gave up on Huang Hanwei,..." Zhao Yazhi sighed and said.
"Sister Zhi, but what? Since you don't love him anymore, then divorce him. Why bother yourself to suffer?" Li Zhiwen asked.
Zhao Yazhi said in pain: "But my son is still there, Xiaoguang is still so young, I can't let him be so young without a mother."
Li Zhiwen patted her shoulder and said, "Be good, don't think too much. At worst, you can take the custody of your child. I'll raise you, mother and son."
"Who wants you to raise?" Zhao Yazhi was not worried when he said it, but smiled and said, "You can't even support yourself. Besides, my reputation is so bad, how can I be worthy of you?"
Li Zhiwen slapped Zhao Yazhi and said, "Sister Zhi believes in me, I will definitely handle your scandal well. Even if the Oriental Daily cannot handle it well, I will run a magazine to change your image in the hearts of the audience."
"Awen, you are so nice to me, thank you." Zhao Yazhi thought he was joking and didn't take it to heart.
Li Zhiwen didn't think about it when he ran a magazine. When he bought Hutchison Whampoa's stocks, he thought about it. At that time, he would have at least 20 million yuan in deposits. He could not deposit interest in the bank, which would be a few dollars. But he himself didn't know much about the stock market. This time he only knew about Li Ka-shing's history of making a fortune. When Li Zhiwen was fine, he always liked to pay attention to the history of some celebrities and fantasize about how he could make a fortune. If he really asked him to trade stocks by himself, he really didn't dare. This was when the stock market was a good thing, he could invest in some well-known companies in the future and leave before the stock market crash was about to happen.
You can't invest all your money in movies. After all, he has never made a movie before. You can try it out for a small cost. After thinking about it, it's better to start a magazine. After all, Warner is a good example in the later generations. If we don't know how to create originals, then just copy them. Many companies in later generations have become the first one by copying them. Besides, in this world, you might be able to become originals.
Li Zhiwen has been collecting information a few days ago. He doesn't know much about finance. He can't create magazines like "Finance" and has no connections. He can't create magazines like "People". After thinking about it, it's much more reliable to engage in fashion and fashion. After all, he has more vision for more than 30 years and still has a certain understanding of clothing.
After the meal, the two sat on the sofa and watched TV.
Suddenly, I saw a video broadcast by TVB. Li Zhiwen looked closely and found that it was Li Ka-shing's press conference, and it seemed that the news was about to be released.
Only Li Ka-shing, who was always calm on TV, announced in an excited tone, "Without affecting the original business of Changjiang Industrial, the company has made a bigger breakthrough - Changjiang Industrial purchased the equity of Hutchison Whampoa Co., Ltd., a veteran British consortium holding 90 million common shares in HSBC at a price of 7.1 yuan per share."
Most of the reporters present couldn't help but applaud, and a reporter asked: "Why did Changjiang Industrial only purchase common shares held by HSBC and no longer purchase its preferred shares?"
Li Ka-shing replied: "From the perspective of assets, Hutchison is indeed a company with great development potential, and its real estate part is exactly the same as the company's business. We believe that Hutchison's vision is very good. Since preferred stocks only enjoy interest, the company's profit and loss have nothing to do with it, and there is no voting right, we did not consider it."
Seeing the news coming from TV, Li Zhiwen clenched his fists and waved his fists. It can be imagined how turbulent Li Ka-shing's words would be in the stock market and how confident Hutchison Whampoa's stocks would be.
Zhao Yazhi was frightened by Li Zhiwen's actions. After all, her husband Huang Hanwei had domestic violence not long ago. She was extremely sensitive to the surrounding environment. She quickly shrank to the corner of the sofa and asked, "Awen, what's wrong with you."
Only then did Li Zhiwen notice Zhao Yazhi's actions and said apologetically: "Sorry, Sister Zhi, I scared you. I'm so excited. Li Daban is the first Chinese senior in Hong Kong to join a British-funded foreign company. This will not be the last time. I'm excited about his feat."
Zhao Yazhi only knew why Li Zhiwen was excited, and Hao Ran said, "Yes, I'm very excited too."
Early the next morning, Li Zhiwen received a call from Zheng Xin.
"Mr. Li, you are so awesome. Just opened the market today, Hutchison Whampoa's stock has risen to HK$10, with an increase of more than 50%. This is a miracle." Zheng Xin said excitedly on the phone.
It’s no wonder that Zheng Xin was excited. This was his first big order since he served as the general manager of HSBC Securities Kowloon Exchange, and it was completed by himself. At this time, he firmly believed that Li Zhiwen was the young master of a wealthy family in Hong Kong, otherwise how could the time be so accurate?
"I have to thank Mr. Zheng for his help, otherwise I wouldn't be able to use ten times of leverage. But I consult Mr. Zheng, can I sell my stocks in Ji Huangpu now?" Li Zhiwen asked.
"Mr. Li, why should I sell? Now is the critical time for the rise. Judging from the current upward trend, Hutchison Whampoa stocks can be doubled in a few days. It would be a pity to sell now." Zheng Xin persuaded. If Li Zhiwen sells Hutchison Whampoa stocks now, not only will Li Zhiwen suffer a great loss, but HSBC's profits will also be greatly reduced.
"Mr. Zheng, I understand that the key is that I currently need a sum of funds to complete an acquisition, otherwise I would not be willing to cut my losses." Li Zhiwen said.
Zheng Xin was silent for a while and continued, "Is Mr. Li's funding gap big?"
Li Zhiwen said: "It's not too big, about five million."
Hearing this, Zheng Xin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Li, I suggest you do this. You can mortgage Hutchison Whampoa's stock to our HSBC Bank. Although it contains the ten-fold leverage allocation initiated by our HSBC Securities, based on the current stock price, the stock is about 70 million Hong Kong dollars. Finally, I estimate your profit is more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars. You can mortgage this stock to HSBC Bank at a value of 15 million Hong Kong dollars, and wait until the price of Hutchison shares stabilizes before selling it to repay the loan. I can help you take the lead in handling this matter."
Zheng Xin did this in violation of securities companies' practice, but he still wanted to help Li Zhiwen and make a good relationship. After all, it would not be too much for him to make friends with someone as good as Li Zhiwen.
"Then please ask Mr. Zheng for help. After the matter is done, I will thank you very much." Li Zhiwen was also happy. After all, the money paid to Zheng Xin is small, and selling it a few days later will be a big profit.
"It's okay, it's okay, then Mr. Li is busy first, so I won't bother you." After that, he hung up the phone.
Under Zheng Xin's operation, Li Zhiwen's Hutchison shares were mortgaged to HSBC at a price of HK$15 million. The mortgage period is one month. Within one month, Li Zhiwen can redeem Hutchison shares. If Li Zhiwen has no ability to repay the loan in one month, Hutchison shares will be owned by HSBC. Of course, Li Zhiwen can also sell Hutchison shares during the mortgage period, but the funds obtained must be given priority to repay HSBC's loan. This shows how much force Zheng Xin has put in. Of course, the monthly interest is 500,000. For Hutchison Whampoa's stock increase, 500,000 interest is considered a drizzle.
