Chapter 17 [Trouble]

Li Wendi smiled and said, "What exactly is it? I can make arrangements for it."

These things were agreed upon, and Li Wendi couldn't go back on his word. With Deng Songlian as a huge force to pressure him, no one from Liansheng dared to have any disloyalty. This big man was too ruthless, and the unwritten rule of 'don't let the disaster affect your family' was just a legend to him.

Of course, Li Wendi had no intention of coming into conflict with the Deng family; that would be like a confrontation between a child and an adult.

So, Deng Jiaren told the story and naturally subconsciously covered up the parts that were unfavorable to him.

Deng Jiaren acquired two floors of a building and was almost done with the third floor, except for an office. He wanted to buy it at the market price, but the owner asked for a 3% premium, so they exchanged harsh words with each other and parted unhappily.

In fact, there is a price difference between selling an entire floor and selling individual offices. Selling an entire floor is a bit more expensive. After all, it saves the buyer a lot of effort, and the decision-making power lies in the hands of the seller. There is no problem of nail households as long as the price is not too high.

Li Wendi felt that Deng Jiaren must have bought it at the market price and then sold it at 3% higher than the market price, so the profit he made must be not low.

Li Wendi took a sip of tea, crossed his hands, and said, "Do you want to buy it at the market price? Or teach the owner a lesson?"

"Forget about the lesson. We are doing business and harmony brings wealth. As long as he is willing to sell it to me at the market price, it will be fine." Deng Jiaren said with a smile.

Li Wendi discovered from his past memories that Deng Jiaren had not been a kind person since he was a child. Many people would be deceived by Deng Jiaren's humble appearance. In fact, Deng Jiaren had done a lot of animal abuse. The original owner had encountered him twice.

But think about it, how can the eldest son who grew up in a community family be kind? Being too kind will only make him a tool for others to climb up.

"Well, I'll have someone find out about that person's background first, and then I'll have a proper talk with him."

At this point, Deng Jiaren's face changed, and he seemed a little embarrassed. After thinking for a while, he said, "That man has a brother-in-law who is a detective, so he is so tough."

"." Li Wendi was speechless. Knowing that others have backers, he still made money from them. Isn't this cheating?

The inspector is considered a high-ranking official in the police force. Dozens of guns are pointed at his head. That is really a joke.

Moreover, Li Wendi knew that if he caused any trouble, Deng Songlian would definitely throw him out without hesitation to "atone his sins".

"Jia Ren, this office is not easy to take. If you are not careful, the entire He Liansheng will be affected." Li Wendi said in a deep voice.

Only a wise person would go against the police force!
Deng Jiaren lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked, "Should we endure it? Maybe the inspector will give face and Liansheng."

After this statement came out, Li Wendi began to doubt Deng Jiaren’s IQ. Will the top police officers give face to the community?
This kind of thing could happen if Deng Songlian came forward. He was just a small boss in Tsim Sha Tsui and might not even be able to make an appointment with the inspector.

"If Uncle Deng can give a heads up, things will be much easier." Li Wendi said to Deng Jiaren, his tone very calm, but with a hint of 'without looking for Uncle Deng, there will be no hope.'

The atmosphere between them instantly froze. Li Wendi wanted Deng Jiaren to give in, but Deng Jiaren wanted Li Wendi to help him.

Deng Jiaren shook his head and said, "Wendy, you know the situation in my family. The people in the second branch are pressing us step by step. If I have to trouble my father with these things, my position in the family will definitely be shaken. Can you help me think of a solution?"

"Jiaren, it's not that I don't want to help you. You also know that the real estate market is hot now, and there will be a premium when purchasing properties. We are doing unconventional things, and some ordinary people dare not mess with us. But you have hit a wall, and the market price will definitely not work. However, a premium of 3% is a bit high. If it is 2%, I can give it a try." Li Wendi sighed and persuaded.

Deng Jiaren hesitated, as if he was thinking, "I can handle it myself at a 2% premium." Li Wendi smiled and said, "The wool comes from the sheep! I think this building will definitely be sold in the near future, and the loss will be recovered from the real estate developer. Now we are just paying that part first."

"One percent, that's the only price I can offer." Deng Jiaren said with a painful look on his face.

"Okay, then I'll ask him out to talk." Li Wendi said. He didn't have much hope for this matter.

Li Wendi's previous attempts to get something for nothing depended on talent, but Deng Jiaren was much bolder and wanted to use this trick on property owners with strong backgrounds. Of course, Li Wendi met with the property owners in his capacity as the boss of Heliansheng in Tsim Sha Tsui, which might very well lead to the inspector.

However, this meeting was obviously tense, after all, it was under the banner of bullying.

Red Star Tea House, Tsim Sha Tsui
The aroma of tea wafted through the private room, and Li Wendi and Wei Renwei were already sitting there waiting for the guests to arrive.

Li Wendi was not like Deng Jiaren, who was very secretive about the owner Hong Lei's information. Instead, he told Wei Renwei everything directly and asked him to attend the negotiation together.

Wei Renwei had no choice. If he dared to retreat, Li Wendi would start to reduce his influence in Tsim Sha Tsui, because these things were originally their common business, otherwise how could he take away most of the benefits.

A few minutes later, two men swaggered in, one of them with a defiant look on his face.

Li Wendi and Wei Renwei naturally got the photos of the two men and knew which one was Inspector Lin Jianmin.

"Welcome, both of you! Please take a seat! Let's see what you would like to eat. The most famous dish in this teahouse is glutinous rice chicken." Wei Renwei stood up first to greet them.

"Who is in charge among you? I heard that you are going to take over the property on behalf of Dengji Real Estate Company." Lin Jianmin sat down and rested his elbows on the table.

"Inspector Lin, I'm Li Wendi, the person in charge of Liansheng Tsim Sha Tsui." Li Wendi said with a smile.

Lin Jianmin grabbed a handful of peanuts, peeled them and threw two into his mouth. While chewing, he said to Li Wendi, "This is the first time I've been threatened in all these years. Do you believe I can have someone sweep your place?"

"Inspector Lin, you misunderstood. Who dares to threaten you? Isn't this just 'a flood that flushed the Dragon King Temple'?" Li Wendi quickly picked up the teapot and poured tea for Lin Jianmin and Hong Lei. "Now I apologize to you."

"Don't talk nonsense. First tell me what price you are willing to buy the office for." Lin Jianmin said.

Li Wendi rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Inspector Lin, it wasn't He Liansheng who wanted to buy those properties. I was also entrusted by someone. Hong Sheng should know that I was not the first person to talk to him, and He Liansheng did not intervene. If Uncle Deng hadn't asked me to take care of Deng's Real Estate, I would not have risked offending you."

Li Wendi quickly cleared himself out of the situation. He really couldn't stand being targeted by the inspector.

"Uncle Deng? Deng's Real Estate? Is it the Deng family's company?" Lin Jianmin felt a little relieved.

Li Wendi nodded and continued, "I have already reached an agreement with Dengji Real Estate. They are willing to pay a 1% premium for the purchase. I know this will put Inspector Lin and Mr. Hong at a disadvantage, but this is the highest price I can get."

"Although it is Deng Songlian's company, it has to follow the market. Generally, the premium is 2%." Lin Jianmin said with a sneer.
