Chapter 65 [Who Takes Advantage of Whom]

"Mr. Li, do you have any ideas? This is also part of the company's development and growth." Chen Jinxi had a pleading look on her face. She felt that Li Wendi might be able to handle these things.

Li Wendi smiled slightly. Chen Jinxi's honey trap didn't work. "We can only offer a high price. We can make less money and focus on dealing with big companies."

"A little bit of money is good, and it adds up to a lot! The most important thing for us now is the accumulation of original capital. The news this time is indeed a bit outdated. Next time I will try to inform Mr. Li as soon as possible." Chen Xingzhou knew that Li Wendi was telling the truth, and others would not give you money.

"Okay, I think it should be no problem to make half of the profit. If I can get a loan, it may not be impossible to buy 3 or 4 rooms. Then I can make 1 or 2% of the profit." Li Wendi said seriously.

"Well, we still need to calculate how many sets we can buy." Chen Xingzhou still refused to give in.

Suddenly, Li Wendi came up with the idea that 'Chen Xingzhou is a conservative person, not an entrepreneur'. After all, if you don't take risks in starting a business, how can you achieve great success? This is the argument that Li Wendi summed up based on what he saw in his previous life.

Li Wendi could object, but he didn't want to make a big fuss here. Changheng Real Estate Company was not everything to him, but only a small part, so he didn't want the business of Changheng Real Estate Company to take up too much of his energy.

So Li Wendi nodded and said, "Okay, then I will use the company's existing funds to buy the property in Wan Chai."

After Li Wendi left, Chen Xingzhou and his sister did not leave, but stayed and continued to eat some snacks.

"I think the loan plan proposed by Li Wendi just now is good. Why do you want to stop it, brother?" Chen Jinxi asked lightly.

Chen Xingzhou slowly poured himself a cup of tea and said quietly, "It seems to be more in line with the interests of the company, but it is actually very risky for us. If Dad finds out that we are working with Li Wendi again, we will be finished. Moreover, we care about Changheng Real Estate more than Li Wendi. This is our only company and our only opportunity, and nothing can happen to us."

Hearing this, Chen Jinxi's face became a little heavy. "The contract was signed privately. It's unlikely that Dad can find out, right?"

"Of course the contract cannot be checked, but our whereabouts, bank statements, information we have and the properties purchased by Chang Heng Real Estate can be checked. Dad has been in the business world for many years, how could he not find out these? They just don't realize the existence of Chang Heng Real Estate. If we develop aggressively in Wan Chai and come into their field of vision, it may become a reality." Chen Xingzhou analyzed with a heavy face.

"Then how do I reply to Li Wendi?"

"Let's buy two properties first, and then make a decision based on market conditions." Chen Xingzhou decided to give Li Wendi some face.

"Li Wendi is not easy to fool. Do you want to add one more?" Chen Jinxi asked.

Chen Xingzhou shook his head and said, "No need. Just the funds for the two properties. Li Wendi won't have any objections."

Chen Jinxi stopped trying to persuade him. She believed in her brother's judgment. It could be said that Li Wendi was a qualified businessman and would not turn against her for a little face. After all, both parties would suffer losses.

February 2th is the Chinese New Year. Companies and factories in Hong Kong are closed for three days. Except for the 15th, the clothing store experienced peak business on the other two days. The turnover reached 3 to 15 and the profit was close to 6, making Li Wendi a tidy profit.

What surprised Li Wendi was that his relative the Bao family actually invited his mother Guo Cuiting to visit them. He guessed that they came for him, but he had no idea why.

Originally he was thinking of refusing, but seeing that Guo Cuiting was quite happy, Li Wendi gave up the idea. He decided that he could just find a reason to refuse the Bao family when the time comes. It was not a big deal.

Bao Family Villa
This time, Li Wendi and her family did not dress up, but wore ordinary clothes. However, the styles were also the most popular this year, which made those "snobbish" relatives come over and say a lot of good things.

"Where is Wendi working these days? I heard that Wendi opened a clothing factory, that's amazing."

"Xiao Nan has really changed a lot since she grew up. I can hardly recognize her. She can even be the Miss Hong Kong."

Guo Cuiting was naturally very happy to hear these flattering words, but she was also a little uncomfortable. She used to be a small transparent person in the corner, but today she became one of the protagonists of the scene. The rapid change caught her off guard. After chatting with relatives for a while, Bao Qingfan, one of the protagonists of the main event, appeared and greeted some elders who had more contact with her, and then focused on Li Wendi.

"Wendy, my father is looking for you."

After Bao Qingfan's voice fell, the scene became silent, and everyone looked at Li Wendi. You have to know that Bao Ligui is the richest and most powerful person among the relatives, without a doubt, and Bao Ligui rarely talks to these poor relatives alone.

Since the elders had spoken, Li Wendi couldn't refuse in public, so he nodded with a smile and followed Bao Qingfan to the study on the second floor of the villa.

The light in the study was not dim. Even during the New Year, Bao Ligui was still busy with some official business.

"Dad, Wendy is here!" Bao Qingfan reminded softly.

At this time, Bao Ligui looked up and said to Li Wendi with a smile, "Please sit down."

So, Bao Qingfan took Li Wendi and sat down on the sofa area next to them.

"I wonder what my cousin-in-law wants to talk to me about?" Li Wendi asked with a faint smile. The original owner didn't have many memories of Bao Ligui, so he dealt with it very carefully.

"Haha!! It's nothing big. I heard that you have been doing some business recently. I hope that we relatives can cooperate and achieve win-win results for each other." Bao Ligui laughed heartily.

Li Wendi had seen many people like this in his previous life. Bao Ligui was definitely not a simple man, as he was able to achieve success in such a chaotic era. It was certain that he would use some dirty tricks. He looked like a gentleman on the surface, but in fact he was a gangster in a suit.

"Are you talking about the clothing business? I remember that you don't seem to do business in this industry." Li Wendi naturally had to pretend to be stupid. Without knowing the situation clearly, the person who spoke first would inevitably be at a disadvantage and lose the initiative in communication.

Bao Qingfan knew something and immediately showed anger when he heard this. In his opinion, his father personally asked Li Wendi to cooperate with him, so Li Wendi should be grateful instead of looking around.

Bao Ligui's expression did not change at all. He smiled and said, "Of course it's not the clothing business, it's the real estate business. I heard that you have acquired several warehouses in Sham Shui Po. Your uncle can provide enough funds to expand the scope of your business."

Li Wendi thought for a moment and felt that Bao Ligui might not be very clear about his relationship with the Yisheng Society. He might think that he took over the warehouse in Sham Shui Po with the assistance of the Yisheng Society.

"Does my cousin-in-law want to get involved in the real estate business in Sham Shui Po?" asked Li Wendi.

Bao Ligui said, "It's not just Sham Shui Po, the real estate market in other areas is also good, such as Sheung Wan."

What a big appetite!

Li Wendi complained in his heart, and then said, "How does my cousin-in-law want to cooperate?"

Bao Ligui still had a smile on his face, but now it was Bao Qingfan who spoke up, "80-20 split, the same goes for the investment."

Li Wendi pursed her lips and said, "Since my cousin's husband is not short of funds, he should do it himself. I won't take advantage of him."

This distribution plan is undoubtedly a misleading one, and the ones who benefit are the Bao father and son. Li Wendi believes that the Bao father and son should have a backup plan, and once the company is on track, he will most likely leave empty-handed.
