Chapter 10 [All are smart people]

"Uncle Deng! How are you feeling lately?" Li Wendi greeted Deng Songlian with a smile.

In fact, Deng Songlian and Li Wendi’s father Li Quan were old acquaintances. The two had a life-and-death friendship. Deng Songlian was also responsible for Li Quan’s conspiracy, so Deng Songlian was more caring towards Li Wendi.

The relationships among the previous generation were very complicated, and Li Wendi was not very clear about them. He did not expect Deng Songlian to help him become successful, otherwise the financial conditions of the Li and Deng families would be so different.

As for Deng Jiaren and Deng Xiaotong, Li Wendi played with them more when they were young. However, as the two siblings went to study abroad, they have not seen each other for 6 or 7 years, and their feelings have faded a lot.

Of course, this is the original owner's feeling and has little to do with Li Wendi.

"Okay, with your help in the club, I don't have to worry about anything, and my health will naturally get better." Deng Songlian laughed and spoke with full energy, but the murderous aura emanating from him was still not small.

"It should be Jiaren and Xiaotong, long time no see!" Li Wendi greeted the brother and sister.

Deng Xiaotong glanced at Li Wendi but said nothing. Instead, her brother Deng Jiaren smiled warmly and stretched out his hand to shake it. "Long time no see, Wendi!"

"I heard that you bought a clothing factory that was about to go bankrupt. What made you have such an idea?" Deng Songlian asked casually with concern.

Deng Jiaren followed up with concern and said, "The textile and clothing business is not doing well recently. It's a closed clothing factory. If things go wrong, we will lose money. Doesn't our family have several factories that are doing well? It's better to let Wendy run it than to let others run it. Dad, what do you think?"

Li Wendi was not a fool. Of course he could tell that the Deng family had something to ask of him and they were just saying nice things, but he would not take them seriously.

If the Deng family wanted to give several factories to Li Wendi, they would have given it to him long ago, without having to wait until today.

"Okay, A'ren, you go and take care of this matter." Deng Songlian waved his hand to show his agreement.

Li Wendi refused and said, "Uncle Deng, this is your stuff, how can I take it? I plan to run this garment factory for a while, and I don't plan to be in this industry for a long time."

"The textile and clothing industry is becoming increasingly sluggish, and I just want to make some quick money. If you give me the clothing factory, I will return it to you later."

"Yeah." Deng Songlian was a little surprised, but soon recovered and nodded, saying, "You are one of us. If you have any problem, just come to me."

"Thank you, Uncle Deng!" Li Wendi is very familiar with these superficial favors.

It was said to the outside world that Li Wendi must be the nephew of Deng Songlian's old friend, but in fact he was a more familiar stranger. Once interests were involved, Li Wendi could be betrayed at any time.

"I called you here today because I have something very important to tell you." Deng Songlian said straight to the point.

"Uncle Deng, just give your orders!" said Li Wendi.

Deng Songlian glanced at Li Wendi and continued, "I want you to be the person in charge of the site in Tsim Sha Tsui, and then cooperate with Ah Ren to acquire some properties."

This notice caught Li Wendi off guard, and it would definitely be inappropriate to refuse directly.

In Hong Kong today, the last few years are the last glorious period of the society. By 74, the power of the society had been greatly reduced, and many of the decision-makers had also suffered.

Li Wendi knew that he would not get far if he was involved in the H business. Which government would allow these people to affect the economy and the government's image? Moreover, the Deng family got their start with He Liansheng, and they would never give up such a foundation. Letting him be the boss of Tsim Sha Tsui was just to make Li Wendi the front man, while Deng Jiaren hid behind to control everything. Whatever happened was Li Wendi's business.

"Uncle Deng, it's not that I don't want to, I'm just too busy. I have to find ways to get the garment factory going. Otherwise, if it really goes bankrupt, I won't be able to pay back the money to the community's financial company." Li Wendi said with a wry smile.

Deng Songlian was very tough. Once Li Wendi refused, he stopped trying to persuade her, and even stopped Deng Jiaren from trying to persuade her. Instead, he chatted with Li Wendi in a friendly manner about family matters.

After Li Wendi left, Deng Songlian's face became gloomy and he seemed a little unhappy.

"In my impression, Li Wendi never had many ideas, but he has changed a lot in recent years," Deng Jiaren said with a frown.

Li Wendi, who was "strong in body but simple in mind", met their requirements very well. In addition, Deng Songlian took some care of the Li family, so it was easier for Deng Jiaren to control him. Unfortunately, Li Wendi was not the same Li Wendi as before.

"I didn't notice any changes when we met some time ago, but today he seems to be a different person. How come he suddenly became smart?" Deng Songlian was a little confused.

"Maybe you were pretending before." Deng Xiaotong reminded casually.

"That's the only explanation." Deng Jiaren nodded and said, "Dad, let's change someone. Li Wendi doesn't have to be the boss in Tsim Sha Tsui."

"Well, let's change one." Deng Songlian said, "Tsim Sha Tsui is developing well. Many real estate developers have started to build buildings there. Although it is not as good as Central, we can make a lot of money."

"The new company is ready, but we still need our trusted people to take over the property. The owners are likely to ask for an exorbitant amount of money," Deng Jiaren said calmly.

The Deng family, who has always been making money through shady means, wants to get out of this trouble, so they don't want the second generation to be directly involved in the affairs of He Liansheng. Instead, they want to find an agent to control things behind the scenes and wait until the Deng family has enough capital to get rid of He Liansheng, which is a burden.

Li Wendi left Deep Water Bay in the Deng family's car. Looking at the scenery rapidly receding outside the window, his thoughts were complicated.

Why did Deng Songlian want to send him to the position of the boss of Tsim Sha Tsui? He could only guess that the purpose was to "do dirty work".

Over the years, Deng Songlian only sent some gifts during the holidays, and even said in public, "Li Wendi is my nephew." Li Wendi did a lot of work for him, including keeping an eye on Ma Yunhui, the current boss of Sai Wan.

Therefore, Li Wendi felt that there was not as much friendship between them as he had imagined.

If he had not known about the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the purge of the police force, Li Wendi felt that becoming the person in charge was a good choice for the time being. After all, Li Wendi could make more money.

But it will be troublesome to get off the bus in the future, because Li Wendi has sat in that seat anyway.

Now with investments in the garment factory and the stock market, Li Wendi has two capitals, which will definitely add up to more than 20 in the future.

Tomorrow, a large number of Chinese companies will be listed. It should not be a problem to turn 20 into 200 million. In addition, with the Niu War, there is not much suspense about making 72 million in 400, and there is no problem in turning it into 73 million before March 3.

As expected, Li Wendi really didn't want to get involved in the Deng family's affairs. Besides, the Deng family also had a second wife, and the second wife was not an easy person to deal with. What if he didn't gain much advantage, but ended up being unpopular both inside and outside, and being sniped everywhere? That would be funny.

"They are all smart people. The right way is to make their own money." Li Wendi sighed in his heart.
