Chapter 46 [Brothers, come together, don’t drag me down]

Wei Renwei was very thick-skinned. Facing Li Wendi's bad attitude, he still smiled and said, "Wendi, it seems that you still blame me. I really want to take the position of the boss in Tsim Sha Tsui as soon as possible, otherwise I would not ask for credit in front of Uncle Deng. How about this, in order to make amends for you, all the money earned from these newly opened places will belong to you. If the profit is less than 30, I will subsidize you privately. How about it?"

Li Wendi saw that he had received the benefit, so he didn't want to continue to embarrass him, so he smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Wei Ge? We are brothers in the society, but Wei Ge gave me money to spend, and I can't refuse it. So thank you, Wei Ge."

"Okay, okay!" Wei Renwei felt a little sorry for the 30 yuan, but there was nothing he could do. His plan to please Uncle Deng had failed, and he couldn't offend Li Wendi for the time being, otherwise the situation of who would be the boss in Tsim Sha Tsui would be in jeopardy.

The two began a friendly conversation, as if the harsh words just now never existed.

Hang Seng Bank, Central
Li Wendi stood in front of the bank building, feeling somewhat emotional. If it had not been for the bank run in 65, this bank might still be the largest Chinese bank in Hong Kong.

It is now controlled by HSBC, and although it is still under the management of Ho Sin Hang and others, it cannot conceal the fact that the ownership has changed.

Since HSBC is the quasi-central bank of Hong Kong, it is not easy for Hang Seng Bank to survive.

"What's your name, sir? What business do you want to handle?" A middle-aged man with a greasy look ran over and asked Li Wendi in a flattering manner.

Li Wendi answered all the questions with a smile and also asked about the mortgage loan process.

"Mr. Li, to know the specific amount you can loan, we need to investigate your company's financial and operating conditions before we can give you a definite answer," said salesman Han Changguo with a polite smile.

Due to the recent boom in Hong Kong and the influx of Chinese from Southeast Asia into Hong Kong to settle down, the loan business in Hong Kong is booming and banks are using a variety of methods in the hope of gaining the favor of customers.

"Well! This is some information about my company." Li Wendi took out the document and handed it to Han Changguo, and continued to introduce the situation of the garment factory.

In the end, Li Wendi signed some confidentiality agreements with Hang Seng Bank, and then left, waiting for news from Hang Seng Bank.

The next morning, Li Wendi assisted the staff of Hang Seng Bank to start checking the accounts of the garment factory. In fact, the accounts were very clear, but the process had to be followed, and it involved the garment factory's accounts for three years.

Cluck! !
There was a knock on the office door.

Li Wendi shouted "Come in" and looked up. The person who came was Zhang Xueqin who had just joined the company.

"What's the matter?" Li Wendi asked in a businesslike manner.

"Mr. Li, this is a business deal I am negotiating. The client is from Thailand and they need 20 pieces of fashion." Zhang Xueqin placed the relevant documents on the desk.

"Please sit down!" Li Wendi glanced at Zhang Xueqin, reached out to pick up the document and read it carefully.

Li Wendi was a little surprised. Where did Zhang Xueqin get the order? She seemed to have just arrived in Hong Kong and didn't have many friends. How could she get the order so quickly?

"Okay, this is a big order, you should make an appointment to talk to the client first." Li Wendi read the document quickly.

Zhang Xueqin nodded, looking hesitant. "How much commission can a salesperson get? My family needs money right now."

"1%, a one point commission. This order is worth 44 yuan, and you can get 4400 yuan." Li Wendi said without hesitation. People who need money are easy to deal with and easy to understand.

Hearing this, Zhang Xueqin looked a little bitter, and it was obvious that the money could not meet her needs. Li Wendi felt a little sorry, so she asked casually, "Is there any difficulty at home?"

Zhang Xueqin blinked and nodded weakly, "Yes, I encountered some difficulties, but it won't affect my work."

Li Wendi was still full of sympathy. "How about this, I'll give you 3 points of commission this time, but it will still be point next time."

"Thank you, boss! I will bring more business to the company." Zhang Xueqin was naturally grateful to Li Wendi. This commission was equivalent to a white-collar worker's annual salary in Central, or even more.

If Zhang Xueqin just wanted some money, Li Wendi didn't think it was a big problem and he became less cautious.

The staff of Hang Seng Bank were extremely professional. They sorted out the garment factory's accounts in just one morning. The manager of the loan department asked Li Wendi to go to Hang Seng Bank the day after tomorrow to sign. The initial budget allowed for a loan of 35.

Adding the 64 in his pocket, Li Wendi now has a maximum of 99. If he wants to buy the villa in full, he is still short of 3. Moreover, the villa needs to be renovated, which may cost another 10.

The gap suddenly became 13.

Do we really have to sell off the shares of Hong Kong Electric Company?
Li Wendi became distressed and thought seriously. The stock market was his most important sector and could not be touched no matter what. But where would the money come from?

Central Ruth Restaurant

Beautiful piano music floats from the restaurant. The decoration is classical and the environment is comfortable. It is a good place to dine and can make people relax a lot.

"This shouldn't be Wendi's first time in a western restaurant. She's very skilled at cutting steak." The young man sitting opposite smiled slightly. If you look closely, you'll find that his face is somewhat similar to Deng Jiaren.

This young man was Deng Jialuo, the half-brother of Deng Jiaren. Unlike Deng Jiaren, Deng Jialuo was very interested in society affairs. However, Deng Songlian had no intention of training Deng Jialuo to become the leader of He Liansheng, so Deng Jialuo had been wavering between the society and the white world.

Li Wendi guessed that Deng Jialuo wanted to win him over so that he could indirectly participate in the affairs of the society.

"I've been here a few times, but I forgot how many times exactly." Li Wendi didn't think Deng Jialuo was looking down on him. Deng Jialuo had not read many books and spoke in a straightforward manner. Maybe that was why Deng Songlian did not allow Deng Jialuo to inherit He Liansheng.

"Actually, I prefer Chinese food. Western food is not suitable for me." Deng Jialuo spread his hands with the knife and fork, somewhat disregarding gentlemanly manners.

Li Wendi smiled and said, "Anyway, this stuff won't fill you up, let's find a food stall to eat skewers later."

Deng Jialuo simply put down his knife and fork and wanted to leave immediately, but was rejected by Li Wendi because this Western meal cost a lot of money and should not be wasted.

So the conversation space between the two people turned into a bustling food stall.

Deng Jialuo took a few sips of beer and then began to talk about the topic, "Do you think I am more suitable to take over the club than Deng Jiaren?"

This is a sensitive topic, and Li Wendi certainly cannot answer directly. After all, this is Deng Songlian’s family affair.

"The situation in the club is very complicated, and we still need you brothers to work together. That's what Uncle Deng means as well." Li Wendi said impartially.
