Started from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 26 [Trouble]

Ma Yunhui sarcastically said, "Are you going to cooperate with Xingsheng (other societies)? Don't forget that you are from Heliansheng."

Li Wendi picked up a red king of hearts on the table, fiddled with it for a few times, and said with a smile, "It seems that the IUD is also from our club, and it takes a lot of money to open a D-type and S-type love field. Brother Hui, do you have any? Since I can come up with this idea, I can naturally think of more tricks to serve the customers."

"I don't have that much money, but I can still open a few rooms first. As for new tricks, I think I'm more familiar with them than you."

Although they are the leaders of the same society, they are also in competition with each other. Ma Yunhui does not want to give Li Wendi a share of the business on his territory, as it will only fatten his wallet if he eats alone.

"Really? Since Brother Hui doesn't want to, I'll take my leave. I wish Brother Hui can defeat his opponent." Li Wendi cursed Ma Yunhui's ancestors in his heart, but he did think of a failed countermeasure.

Ma Yunhui sat on the chair, crossed his legs, and glanced at Li Wendi. After confirming that Li Wendi was about to leave, he spoke, "You brought such a good business. Logically, I should thank you very much. How about this, you take 2%, but there are conditions."

Li Wendi raised his lips and smiled, "Brother Hui, 2% is impossible, the minimum is -."

Hearing this, Ma Yunhui frowned and said, "You are dreaming. I am the one who is in charge of Sai Wan, not you, Li Wendi. You still want to split the profits 50-50. Who do you think you are?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Brother Hui's condition should be to let Wei Renwei take out a loan, right?" Li Wendi said with a smile.

Ma Yunhui is a man with little brains but a bad temper. He likes to speak with his fists and is very greedy. Li Wendi originally wanted to establish a relationship with him, but unfortunately Ma Yunhui wanted to "keep it all for himself" right from the start, forcing Li Wendi to change his approach.

Ma Yunhui didn't expect Li Wendi to have guessed his thoughts correctly. He felt a little embarrassed for a moment and said in a deep voice, "How could it be this? It's not impossible to split the profits 50-50, but you will be responsible for the warehouse renovation and finding people."

Ma Yunhui clearly wanted to get something for nothing, and he might even have the intention of "destroying the bridge after crossing it".

"Okay, after I report to Uncle Deng and the others, we'll start work right away." Li Wendi meant to let his uncles know the ins and outs of this business, while at the same time restraining Ma Yunhui, the wild horse. Although this might result in some loss of profits, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

Ma Yunhui nodded reluctantly, but asked, "How about the money from my uncles?"

As Xihuan's income increased, the uncles would naturally change the amount of Xihuan's tribute. In other words, Ma Yunhui would get less profit.

"That's a problem. Why don't we change the distribution model?" Li Wendi smiled mysteriously. Bringing his uncles in could save a lot of trouble.

"How to change it?" Ma Yunhui asked Li Wendi suspiciously. He was afraid that Li Wendi would cheat him.

"If we exchange the extra tribute for shares, we can also get more funds from the financial company, expand the scale, and the money we get should not be less." Li Wendi said with a cunning smile. If the plan can succeed, the losses from the last raid can be repaid later. After all, Li Wendi has brought a "live water" (business) to the society.

Ma Yunhui thought about it carefully and felt that he did not have much to lose, and he could also please his uncles, which seemed to be a good deal.

"Okay, let's go find my uncle together." Ma Yunhui was afraid that Li Wendi would take all the credit.

So, the two of them went to find those uncles. After a series of negotiations, the uncles naturally agreed happily, and asked the financial company headed by Wei Renwei to fully support it, which also gave Li Wendi enough time to make up for his losses.

In fact, Li Wendi didn’t care about the money earned from these places, because the money that could be distributed to the boss was not much, and he wouldn’t stay in this position for long.

Once the ICAC is established, troubles will gradually come knocking on your door. There is no need to risk yourself in Stanley Prison for a little money, which may also affect your future development.

In the 60s and 70s, Hong Kong was jointly controlled by the Hong Kong government, HSBC, Jardine Matheson and the Jockey Club. Although this is a rumor, it is probably true. After entering the 70s, the horse racing business became more prosperous, and everyone in Hong Kong wanted to get rich overnight, but unfortunately they all became leeks.

Seeing an opportunity in the horse racing business, social societies began to secretly set up underground betting points to accept bets from ordinary citizens. As a result, the Jockey Club suffered quite a bit and business declined significantly.

Therefore, the Jockey Club Board of Directors joined hands with the police force to raid illegal betting points.

At this time, Li Wendi frowned as he listened to the report from his men, because this time the society did not receive any news from the police raid. Three betting points in Tsim Sha Tsui were hit and a lot of cash was lost.

"What should we do? The horse race will be held tomorrow and we have received a lot of bets. Do we need to cash in the bets?" Wan Fanyuan, the leader under his command, asked with an unhappy look on his face.

Although not many people won the prize, they still had to pay a sum of money to cash it out. Now the D funds have been confiscated by the police, so it can be said that two sums of money will be lost.

"It depends on whether you want to do this business. If you still want to do it, you will definitely have to compensate us. Otherwise, no one will believe us." Li Wendi sighed. It was too bad that they were raided twice in one month.

They looked at each other, and Wan Fanyuan took the lead in answering, "Of course we will do it. Our territory is too small, and we need the betting stations to provide funds, otherwise we won't be able to pay the tribute next month."

Li Wendi said, "Expand all the sites on our territory. We have suffered heavy losses recently. We can only make a little more money from this. We will be able to recover in a month or two."

Wei Renwei breathed a sigh of relief. He was a little afraid that Li Wendi would ask him to borrow money from the financial company again, and it would take a long time to pay back the money.

"It's not easy to expand unless we open a few more stores." Another leader, Gao Qiansheng, said in embarrassment.

"Open a few more stores? I'd like to do that too. Why don't you go talk to Lin Jianmin?" Li Wendi said with a laugh.

Gao Qiansheng lowered his head dejectedly and did not continue speaking.

"It's not easy to do business in the D market now. Why don't we change our business model and only need to recover the principal when lending money to D customers. However, when the D customers make money, we will take 2% of the profit immediately." Li Wendi looked around and suggested.

"It's a good idea, but some customers are trying to make money from us, which is not a good idea." Wan Fanyuan objected tactfully.

"It's up to you. As long as we can pay the tribute, it's fine." Li Wendi spread his hands, looking indifferent.

Li Wendi is not like the bosses of other territories. He has strong control over the territory. Even how to do business must strictly follow the rules he sets, otherwise there will be punishment.

Wei Renwei didn't say a word throughout the whole process. The street he was responsible for suffered no losses at all, and speaking at this time would only get him into trouble.

After the meeting, Zhang Yan stayed behind and reported to Li Wendi, "We haven't found any evidence against Lin Jianmin yet. He is very cautious and it's hard to find evidence."

"Just take your time to look for it, and don't let it get exposed." Li Wendi said calmly, "You need to start recruiting people for the new venue, and you also need to prepare the tools."

Li Wendi was not familiar with the D field and did not want to be familiar with it, so he had to let Zhang Yan take charge.
