Chapter 33【Sheung Wan Warehouse】

Xu Shoukun arranged for people to deliver evidence of Lin Jianmin's corruption, bribery, and robbery with bandits to relevant departments. All of a sudden, many departments including the Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Police Office came to Lin Jianmin, and there were also a large number of reporters for interviews and reports.

The news spread immediately throughout Hong Kong, and even the Commissioner of Police had to hold a press conference on the same day, promising reporters that the police force would seriously investigate the matter and give the public an explanation as soon as possible.

However, Lin Jianmin had considerable power and walked out of the Central Police Station that night. However, after his followers left, several ferocious masked knifemen rushed out from the darkness and chased and hacked him.

Unfortunately, Lin Jianmin was stabbed and had three knife wounds on his body, but they were not fatal.

At Li Wendi's suggestion, Xu Shoukun asked reporters to quickly report the news of Lin Jianmin's injury, using the words "suspected murder to silence him", which made the matter a hot topic.

Li Wendi used some of the propaganda tactics from his previous life in this era. Lin Jianmin's situation became worse and worse, and the police force was under great pressure. Even Chief Superintendent Godber did not dare to take Lin Jianmin's bribe easily.

Even so, Li Wendi felt that Lin Jianmin might still have a chance to turn the tables, but he could no longer think of any means to increase the weight, after all, his network of connections was too shallow.

Lin Jianmin was in trouble, so Li Wendi could finally go out with peace of mind. The original group of more than a dozen younger brothers following him became only Zhang Yan. He didn't want to disclose his whereabouts and some private matters, so now the only person he trusted was Zhang Yan.

Sheung Wan Warehouse Distribution Center

This area used to be crowded with small merchants. On Wednesdays, it would be so crowded that it was hard to squeeze out. However, today, there are only a few pedestrians and a few shops open. There is no sign of its former prosperity at all.

Li Wendi smelled the strong salty smell of the sea and felt a little drunk. He quickly pulled up his collar to cover his nose, but this could only mask part of the smell.

"Is this the warehouse?" Li Wendi asked with a heavy nasal voice.

"That's it. Look, you can see the office buildings in Central from here. Someone should be interested in buying the warehouse at this location." Zhang Yan introduced, his face full of excitement.

Although there are many warehouses in front that are closer to Central, this location is still good because those warehouses in front are very expensive and have been taken over or reserved by some real estate developers.

"80 is a bit expensive!" Li Wendi took a look at the warehouse with its door open. It was about 3000 square feet in size. There were no goods in it, only some rotten tables and chairs.

"This price is not fixed. You can bargain with the owner. I think 40 is enough." Zhang Yan has the potential to be a profiteer. He can cut the price in half without any regrets.

Li Wendi laughed and said, "You have a dark heart. I think 50 is enough."

"You are the one with a bad heart. I am 'asking for a high price and paying back on the spot'. Which businessman doesn't 'eat the small when the big eat the small'? Otherwise, how can you make money?" Zhang Yan said unconvinced. In the stories he heard, all businessmen were profiteers. If he wanted to become a rich man, he naturally had to learn to be cunning and make money from others.

Li Wendi thought about it and felt that this was true. He was just using his position as the boss to do business. Zhang Yan just learned it more thoroughly.

There are no good people or bad people in this world, only ruthless people and poor people. It is really difficult to become a superior person without stealing or robbing.

At a nearby teahouse, Li Wendi met the warehouse owner, and after a few pleasantries, they got down to business.

The owner immediately asked for 80 yuan, and Li Wendi bargained for 40 yuan as Zhang Yan wished. The owner was so angry that he wanted to slam the table and leave, but when he thought that the two people in front of him were gangsters, he endured it and continued to negotiate.

After several rounds of bidding and bargaining, the deal was finally concluded at a price of 53 yuan, with 15 yuan to be paid first and the remaining balance to be paid within 2 months, otherwise the owner has the right to take back the warehouse and not return the 15 yuan deposit.

After signing the contract at the law firm, Li Wendi wrote a check for 15 yuan to the owner and left with Zhang Yan. "Wendi, you are too kind. If you scare him, you will definitely get 40 yuan." Zhang Yan spread his hands, "You didn't even want the remaining 13 yuan. What a waste."

Li Wendi laughed and said, "It's good to make money. There's no need to leave others with nowhere to go. Don't go too far in doing business."

Zhang Yan disagreed. For a moment, he thought that Li Wendi didn't know how to do business and didn't want the money.

A few days later, the share price of Hong Kong Electric Company rose from 2.5 yuan to 3 yuan, an increase of 0.5 yuan. Li Wendi bought it at 2.3 yuan and had made 18.2 yuan at this time, which was really a huge profit.

According to market feedback, the stock price of Hong Kong Electric Company still has a wave of growth potential and may rise to around 3.7 yuan.

The Hong Kong Electric Company is a large public company responsible for the supply of electricity to the entire Hong Kong Island, and makes tens of millions of profits every year.

Li Wendi predicted that by the beginning of next year, when the Hong Kong Electric Company announced its 71-year profits and dividends, the stock price would continue to rise. That would be the time to sell, and he would be able to make at least $50.

Thinking of the colorful money, Li Wendi felt joy rising from the bottom of his heart, as if he was one step closer to becoming rich.

In fact, the real opportunity came in the second half of 72 when Chinese companies were listed on a large scale. As long as there was sufficient capital, Li Wendi felt that earning a few million was a piece of cake and it was possible to increase his assets to tens of millions.

So at this time he must work hard to make money and earn more capital.

In order to reduce the pressure of public opinion in Hong Kong society, the police force joined hands with other departments to thoroughly investigate the Lin Jianmin case within 4 days, and announced to the public that Lin Jianmin did not collude with the robbers, accept bribes, etc. However, considering the impact of this incident, the police force transferred Lin Jianmin from the Tsim Sha Tsui area to become the inspector of Wan Chai Police Station, and Xu Shoukun was transferred from Sai Wan Police Station to Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station as the inspector.

Li Wendi found the investigation result ridiculous. He had read the evidence document of the joint robbers and could say that the evidence was conclusive and the matter was settled. Unfortunately, it could not withstand Lin Jianmin's power or money offensive.

Sure enough, this society has become completely corrupt.

At the same time, Li Wendi also felt some resentment towards the Chen family's indifference. Even though Lin Jianmin came to bully them, the Chen family still chose to keep quiet. They were totally cuckolds.

However, this result is not the worst. After all, Lin Jianmin was transferred out of Tsim Sha Tsui and can't interfere with the affairs of the Tsim Sha Tsui site for the time being. He can live a quiet life for a few days.

There is no need for Li Wendi to take action personally to kill the bastard Lin Jianmin, as this may cause huge trouble.

At this time, the D venue in Sai Wan had already opened and was welcomed by many gamblers, which made Ma Yunhui want to open a second one immediately.

As for the dance halls, bars, nightclubs and other places, they are still under renovation. Unlike the D venue, which can be simply renovated, these places must be magnificent in order to attract high-end customers.

So Ma Yunhui approached Wei Renwei again, hoping that Wei Renwei could lend him 100 million from the financial company. However, Wei Renwei refused on the grounds that the financial company was short of money recently. Ma Yunhui was so angry that he cursed Wei Renwei for being a traitor.
Li Wendi laughed out loud. Wei Renwei has always been like this. Seeing that Wei Renwei has begun to firmly sit in the position of the boss again, how could he help him? If the society has some income and it was Li Wendi's idea, then when will Wei Renwei be able to sit in the position of the boss?

This is certainly not an act of harbouring evil intentions, but rather human nature. Wei Renwei has been eyeing the position of boss in Tsim Sha Tsui for a long time. It must be very comfortable for him to own a financial company and a gang.

If it were anyone else, they would be unable to help themselves.

At the same time, Li Wendi noticed that Zhang Yan seemed to have his eyes on the position of the boss in Tsim Sha Tsui, but he did not have much qualifications. Compared with Wei Renwei, it was the difference between an arm and a thigh. So Zhang Yan knew that he had no hope and did not confide this to Li Wendi.
