Chapter 75 [For Sale]

A coffee shop in Central
The people who come in and out of this coffee shop are all white-collar workers in Central. They are all wearing expensive clothes, which makes people feel that the coffee shop is of high quality.

Li Wendi chose a seat by the window and waited for the guests to arrive.

I had finished one-third of my cup of coffee when the customer slowly appeared in front of me.

"Haha!! Sorry, Wendy! I was delayed by some urgent business just now. I kept you waiting for a long time." The customer had a hint of apology on his face, but not much. He asked the waiter to give him a cup of Blue Mountain coffee.

Li Wendi laughed and said, "It's okay! I haven't been here for long."

Li Wendi seemed to be asking for help, even though the matter was related to Deng Jiaren and involved Deng Jiaren's interests.

"That's good! What's wrong? Ask me out today." Deng Jiaren asked with a faint smile.

So Li Wendi told Deng Jiaren a simplified version of the whole story, and also exaggerated the Bao family's role and sinister intentions.

"This matter is a bit tricky!" Deng Jiaren's face turned serious. "The Chen family is not easy to mess with. It seems that you lost your position as the leader of Tsim Sha Tsui at the hands of the Chen family last time."

Deng Jiaren had no intention of hurting Li Wendi, but this only illustrates how powerful the Chen family is.

"I have asked Chen Xingzhou from the second branch of the Chen family to help hold out for a few days. I suggest that we sell the warehouse and vegetable market urgently. Although it will result in a loss of some money, it is better than the Yisheng Society reacting and causing us to lose more money." Li Wendi said that he had already taken action. If Deng Jiaren was still timid, there would naturally be no cooperation between them. After all, Deng Jiaren was of no use at all, so he was not eligible to share the profits.

Deng Jiaren understood the implicit meaning of Li Wendi's words, but compared to offending the Chen family, it seemed like the loss outweighed the gain. How could a mere 20 be compared with the Chen family with a strong background? However, this business deal held Deng Jiaren's hope of standing out in front of Deng Songlian.

This is a dilemma!

"It is difficult for me to influence the Chen family's affairs, but I am very interested in the Bao family you mentioned. The person who tied the bell must untie it, so why not let the Bao family solve this problem." Deng Jiaren proposed a new plan.

Li Wendi nodded. Since Deng Jiaren was willing to contribute, he didn't have too many objections. "Okay, I'll continue looking for a buyer. The renovation project will be completed soon."

The two discussed some details, such as whether to show some mercy to the Bao family (Deng Jiaren knew that the Bao family and Li Wendi were relatives) and what reasons to use to let the Bao family persuade the Chen family's eldest wife again.

Naturally, Li Wendi would not show mercy to the Bao family. All the people in this family were notorious characters. If he didn't strike them hard, they would continue to provoke him.

As for the reasons to persuade the eldest wife of the Chen family, Li Wendi proposed several, such as waiting until the renovation is almost completed before spreading the news, thus causing them greater losses.

These reasons are all risky moves, calculating on the time difference. Once stagnation occurs, the losses are still inevitable and may even be greater than before.

But this is the only solution. Businessmen are all gangsters, they are just following the law.

In the following days, Li Wendi was very busy. He had to supervise and speed up the progress of the project while preventing it from becoming a rubbish project. He was also busy looking for buyers in the vegetable market. He could not post notices or place advertisements. He even needed to screen some reliable candidates to prevent the news from spreading too quickly.

The emperor pays off!
Li Wendi's efforts were not in vain. His private warehouse had found many buyers, and they all paid some deposits. The cooperative warehouse had fewer buyers, of course, Li Wendi's "contribution" was indispensable. Bao Ligui and Bao Qingfan were both "invited to talk" by the corresponding gangsters. There were some threats and warnings during the conversation. It was said that Bao Qingfan was frightened and had incontinence (most of which were false). Bao Ligui was indeed a business veteran, and he was able to talk calmly.

Li Wendi and Deng Jiaren didn't care whether Bao Ligui was the murderer behind the scenes or not. They had to make sure Bao Ligui cleaned up the mess, otherwise he and his son would both lose their hands and legs.

Bao Family Villa Study
Bao Qingfan stood there with a pale face, while Bao Ligui, who was sitting, said nothing and looked very gloomy.

"Didn't I tell you not to provoke Li Wendi and the others? Why didn't you listen?" Bao Ligui said gritting his teeth.

"You are so stupid. You actually went to the Chen family's villa to look for someone, and Chen Xingzhou saw you and heard your conversation."

Bao Ligui poured all his anger out on Bao Qingfan, scaring him so much that he was stunned. He wanted to escape from the study room but he didn't dare to. He had no choice but to stay there and hope that Bao Ligui would not do anything.

"So what should we do now? Should we do as they say?" Bao Qingfan asked weakly, like a turtle hiding its head.

"Besides doing what they say, is there any other way? If we can't handle this, our Bao family will lose millions, or we will be hacked to death." Bao Ligui wanted to beat Bao Qingfan to vent his anger, but unfortunately reason stopped his impulse.

"We can hire bodyguards and try not to go other places. Those gangsters shouldn't be able to do anything to us." Bao Qingfan blinked his eyes desperately, but his voice became much louder. Maybe he thought it was a good idea and felt that he would get his father's approval.

Bao Ligui sneered and glared at Bao Qingfan fiercely, "We can indeed hire bodyguards, but what about our business? Are you prepared to live in fear like this for a few years?"

"." Bao Qingfan's face immediately fell. It was not that he had not thought of these things, but he was just hoping for the best, thinking that Li Wendi might not know about it, and it was even more impossible for him to do anything ruthless.

"Do as they ask. The Chen family is left to you. You are responsible for convincing them." Bao Ligui didn't want to talk to his idiot son anymore.

Bao Qingfan took great pains and finally convinced the eldest branch of the Chen family. They would spread the news when the renovation project was about to be completed. At the same time, they would also keep a close eye on the progress of the warehouse project and would not allow any major mistakes to occur.

Li Wendi has already sold nearly half of the market space and expects to complete the sales plan before the warehouse renovation is completed. Now Li Wendi has already recovered most of the cost funds and will be able to recover all of the cost funds in two days. The pressure in his heart has been relieved a lot.

Late September

The growth rate of Federal Realty's stock price began to slow down a lot, and there was a vague trend of reaching the daily limit. At this time, the stock price had reached 4.5 yuan, which was Li Wendi's target value.

So Li Wendi went to the trading hall of HSBC and asked Wu Xiong to help sell the shares of Federal Realty Corporation.

"Okay, please wait a moment! I'll help you right away." Wu Xiong said seriously.

Two hours later, Wu Xiong reappeared. "Mr. Li, sorry to have kept you waiting. You own a total of 35 shares of Federal Realty. You bought them at 3.2 yuan and sold them at an average price of 4.6 yuan. After deducting the fees, you have recovered 151.54 million yuan, with a profit margin of about 35%."

Li Wendi nodded. Although this investment was not as good as the previous ones, it was still an investment project with relatively high returns.
