Chapter 62 [Suitable Candidate]

Chang Heng Real Estate Company also successfully sold its property investment in Wan Chai and made a profit of about 1%. Although it was not much, it became the first business that was successfully sold and profitable in a short period of time since the establishment of Chang Heng Real Estate Company, which is of great significance to the company.

Fortunately, these actions did not attract much attention from Lin Jianmin and Chen Fenben, but they did not curb the development momentum of the joint company.

Li Wendi calmed down and suddenly realized that he actually had no power to shake the Chen family's business. Moreover, if he continued to provoke the Chen family, Chen Fenben would get angry and retaliate, and he would not be able to withstand it. Of course, he would not fight to the death with the Chen family.

It is better to bully a white-headed man than to bully a poor young man!
Li Wendi believes that he will eventually rise and become an existence that even the Chen family can hardly match, so why choose to confront it head-on now?

So, Li Wendi began to persuade herself to let go of revenge and concentrate on making money and career, and that one day Chen Fenben would apologize in person.

Tsim Sha Tsui Happy Tea House
Li Wendi, Zhang Wentao and a strange short-haired man were sitting at the same table, while the customers at the next table acted like gangsters, with thick silver chains around their necks and tattoos on their arms.

Zhang Wentao's face revealed a trace of nervousness, but he still had a strong professional quality. He was the first to speak, "Boss Yan, the location of your warehouse is indeed good, but with the development of Sham Shui Po, the warehouse seems a bit out of date. And the Hong Kong government's subsidy is so small, it would be better for you to sell the warehouse directly and use the funds to do some other profitable business."

"Then what are you going to do with the warehouse? Isn't it also an investment? Do you think you will give money to us gangsters while doing business?" Yan Cong, the boss of the Sham Shui Po site of the Yisheng Society, said with a smile.

Although Yan Cong had not received much education, he understood the principle that "there is no free lunch in the world". It must be profitable for him to take over the warehouse, otherwise how could the real estate developers look down on the warehouse in Sham Shui Po.

"Mr. Yan, a 35% premium is indeed a bit expensive. I will naturally have business to do if I take over your warehouse, but the money I make is not much. It is all hard-earned money. If the premium is 35%, then we will have no profit. Why should we work hard to make money for others?" Li Wendi said with a faint smile.

"Mr. Li, right? I'm a rough man and don't understand your business methods. To be honest, if you can take over all three warehouses, I can give you a lower price. How about it?" Yan Cong said somewhat defiantly.

Li Wendi was puzzled. Wasn't it said that the warehouse business of Yee Shing Society in Sham Shui Po was doing well? Why was it so anxious to sell it now?
"Mr. Yan, isn't the warehouse business in Sham Shui Po doing well? Why do you want to sell it? Can you tell us more about it?" Li Wendi asked directly.

"Mr. Li, the warehouse leasing business is really good. If I wasn't short of money, how could I sell it?" Yan Cong naturally wouldn't tell the real reason. "Although I'm in a hurry to use the money, I'm not a fool. I won't sell it to you cheaply. This piece of land is worth a lot of money."

Li Wendi was too lazy to chat with people like Yan Cong. Since he was unwilling to tell the truth, he continued to talk about the main topic, "If I take all of them, how much cheaper can you give, Mr. Yan? How about a 2% premium for all of them?"

"2%? Mr. Li really doesn't think this is an ordinary person's property, right? Never mind, I'll take a step back and give him a 3% premium!" Yan Cong raised three fingers.

"22% premium!" Li Wendi said with some embarrassment, "This is already the limit. The profit is too low. I might even do it for nothing."

"No, it's too low. I can't explain this to the leader. 28%?"

After a few minutes of bargaining, the price was finally lowered to a 25% premium, and three warehouses were acquired, which involved nearly 3 million yuan in funds.

Zhang Wentao heaved a sigh of relief after watching Yan Cong leave with a group of younger brothers. He seldom dealt with gangs, and people like Yan Cong would kill people.

"Mr. Li, don't you only need one warehouse? Will there be a risk of your capital chain being cut off if you take over three?" Zhang Wentao asked with some concern.

Li Wendi's promise was still somewhat attractive to Zhang Wentao, otherwise why would he care about Li Wendi's funding.

"I do need one, but I won't lose out if I buy all of them. I can make a profit if I sell them one by one. The key is that I saved 1% of the cost of the premium, so this is my profit." Li Wendi said with a smile, "Please help me keep an eye on the buyer, Mr. Zhang. The warehouse needs to be transferred."

"Okay, I'll pay attention to it." Zhang Wentao felt that Li Wendi's mind was working too quickly and he thought of the future all of a sudden.

Although warehouses in Sham Shui Po are not very popular properties, there is no shortage of buyers, so Li Wendi is not worried about the warehouse being a waste, and may even make a profit. "Mr. Li, if you have enough funds, I think you can buy all of them. There are many residents in Sham Shui Po, but few are suitable for vegetable markets. If the warehouse is converted into a market, it should be very popular." Zhang Wentao immediately suggested.

At this time, Zhang Wentao was not very greedy for the commissions. On the contrary, after getting to know Li Wendi, he knew that Li Wendi was a man with great ambitions and ideas. Perhaps by following Li Wendi he could get a chance to succeed. Even if Li Wendi failed, he could go back to being an agent.

Li Wendi lowered his head and thought. In fact, he had thought about this plan, but it was very risky. What if the Sham Shui Po market was not that big? The cost of the warehouse would not be a loss, but the decoration fee would be lost twice, which would be 20 yuan back and forth, not to mention some loan interest. He hesitated. On one side was a loss, and on the other side was a huge profit.

"Let me think about it first." Li Wendi still felt that he needed to think about it carefully.

Sai Wan Nightclub
There were many scantily clad women twisting seductively on the dance floor. The lights were shining but dim, and the women's faces could not be seen clearly. However, under the influence of alcohol and the environment, the men seemed to have the impulse of primitive animals.

Li Wendi was sitting on the sofa, and next to her was a woman who was also scantily clad. She leaned her head on Li Wendi's shoulder affectionately, but poured the beer in her hand into her own mouth.

"Wendi, you have contributed to the prosperity of Sai Wan today." Deng Jiaren and Li Wendi were one body length apart. The light was insufficient and Deng Jiaren's expression could not be seen clearly, but there was a hint of mockery in his tone, as if he felt sorry for Li Wendi.

Li Wendi laughed and said, "There is an old Chinese saying, 'If you are in a position, you should do your job.' Now I am no longer the boss, so these things have nothing to do with me. Whether it is merit or trouble, I just want to make more money."

Deng Jiaren patted the thigh of the woman next to him, signaling the woman to give up her seat, so he sat next to Li Wendi, and said with a gloomy face, "Recently, the second house and Wei Renwei have been very close. Wei Renwei's business in Tsim Sha Tsui has become more and more perfunctory. I want to move my business somewhere else. Does Wendi have any business recommendations?"

Li Wendi was slightly stunned. He guessed that Deng Jiaren wanted to ask him for help, but he didn't expect that Deng Jiaren wanted to withdraw from the Tsim Sha Tsui site.

Sham Shui Po warehouse? !

He thought for a while and thought that Deng Jiaren could be the partner. However, he didn't want to be targeted by people like Wei Renwei and Deng Songlian, so he asked tentatively, "Does Uncle Deng know that you want to evacuate Tsim Sha Tsui?"

In fact, what this sentence means is that one wants to know whether Deng Jiaren can make his own decision.

"My father has let go of the real estate company's affairs, and now I am the one in charge of the company." Deng Jiaren seemed to understand what Li Wendi meant.

Actually, Deng Jiaren just wanted to get some help from Li Wendi at the beginning. He believed that Li Wendi had some influence in Tsim Sha Tsui and even in the entire Heliansheng, so he could help him get a second house and make Wei Renwei behave himself. Now it seems that Li Wendi really has business to introduce, so Deng Jiaren's mind became active.

Li Wendi's hand was still on the woman's thigh. It felt particularly good through the thin stockings, but the woman did not dare to resist at all because she knew who Li Wendi was.

"Brother Jiaren, I do have a business deal here, but I think it would be a big loss for you to withdraw from Tsim Sha Tsui. After all, Tsim Sha Tsui is in a stage of great development and you can make a lot of money." Li Wendi persuaded with a smile. It was okay to cooperate with Deng Jiaren once, but he couldn't stand long-term cooperation. Moreover, Wei Renwei and the second branch of the Deng family still needed Deng Jiaren to deal with them, so as to avoid paying attention to him.

Deng Jiaren nodded. Of course he was reluctant to completely withdraw from the sphere of influence in Tsim Sha Tsui. After all, having a background in the triad society had many benefits, and the company would expand rapidly.

"What business do you want to introduce to me? It's not a clothing factory business, right?" Deng Jiaren said jokingly.

"The warehouse in Sham Shui Po!" Li Wendi laughed.

Deng Jiaren frowned instead. "Warehouse business! This is not a short-term investment project."

Deng Jiaren needed to prove himself in a short period of time, so he naturally did not take the warehouse rental business seriously.
