Chapter 77 [Hot Potato]

After the negotiations with the Yisheng Society were completed, the remaining stalls in the cooperative warehouse were sold out very quickly. Within just three days, several stalls were sold out and 14 yuan was recovered.

That’s right, Li Wendi sold at a premium as Yan Cong proposed. The 5 yuan given to Yan Cong basically came from the buyer. The two bosses received about 4.5 yuan, and the loss was less than 5 yuan.

The high profit margin that Deng Jiaren needed was also improved a little bit, and the profit margin was close to 50%. Although the investment was not large, the profit margin was high enough.

Deng Jiaren was of course a greedy person, and he actually said that if they were brave enough, they could raise the price of the stall a bit, and even if the Yisheng Society found out, they could give them more money, and they could make a lot of money, with a profit margin even higher than 50%.

Hearing this, Li Wendi sneered in his heart, if business is so good, who would be willing to work.

Not to mention whether the price can be raised, once it is raised, the buyers will naturally wait and see. In addition, due to the influence of the Yisheng Community Group in Sham Shui Po, the lower-class citizens will not spend money to buy because they are worried that the money they invested will be wasted.

Even if the Dingyisheng Society is established, the sales of the stalls will be very slow, and it is unknown when the funds can be recovered, which will affect the subsequent development. After a long time, Deng Songlian will inevitably ask where the funds went, which is not as good for Deng Jiaren as the current situation.

This time, only 10% of the stalls are left, and the main selling point is "be quick or be gone", so naturally the price can be slightly raised. Those who wait and see will suffer a loss.

When Deng Jiaren heard Li Wendi explain the simple supply and demand relationship, his mind immediately became depressed. He didn't expect that Li Wendi actually understood this.

In his impression, Li Wendi has been a person who doesn't like reading since childhood, so how come he has become so theoretical now?

Li Wendi noticed Deng Jiaren's surprise but did not give any explanation. He did this to let Deng Jiaren help him convey a message to Deng Songlian: he, Li Wendi, is no longer the "Amon of Wu" and Deng Songlian should not treat him as a fool.

After going through all these things, Li Wendi has grown up a bit and has a clearer concept of the business world. It is much more brutal and less tender than the workplace in his previous life.

In the following week, Li Wendi was busy looking for new business projects. He no longer cared about businesses with lower returns, and he did not have sufficient funds for large projects, so he was in a relatively idle state.

Cluck! !
There was a knock on the office door. Li Wendi looked up and saw that the person who came was Zhang Wentao, the head of Xingguang Real Estate. This person had been in the company for two days and the document in his hand should be a project plan.

"Come in!" Li Wendi said with a smile. The boss always has a good attitude towards capable workers.

After Zhang Wentao sat down, Li Wendi joked, "What you have should be good news."

Zhang Wentao also smiled slightly and handed over the document with both hands. "This is the information of a haunted store (a shop where people have died) and an office building on the first floor where a fire broke out. On the surface, it looks like a hot potato and a money-losing project, but I think it is a very good project. The market is very prosperous now. As long as it is sold at the market price, the company will definitely make a lot of money, even more than those real estate developers who build buildings."

Li Wendi opened the file, which contained introductions to haunted shops and office buildings, as well as some successful sales cases. It seemed that Zhang Wentao was very worried that he would reject this case.

This is Zhang Wentao’s first case in the new company. Zhang Wentao certainly doesn’t want to be rejected by Li Wendi. After all, this is a weather vane.

If he succeeds, Zhang Wentao will naturally feel relieved and work harder for the company.

Hong Kong people more or less believe in feng shui, luck and other mysterious things, and Zhang Wentao is no exception.

Li Wendi frowned. In his previous life, he didn't believe in these monsters and ghosts, but as a time traveler, he had to believe them now. More importantly, Hong Kong people believed in these things. "It's easy to deal with an office building on fire, but a store that's in trouble might be ruined. How do you plan to sell it?" Li Wendi asked seriously.

Zhang Wentao replied, "I have consulted many masters, and there are corresponding ways to avoid this thing. Those buyers may not believe it. I have seen the location of the corpse. It happens to be in the middle of the shop. After we accept it, we can separate the shop and renovate it. I can sell it."

"More importantly, the owner is willing to sell it at half the price, which gives us a lot more room to operate."

Hearing this, Li Wendi's expression eased a little, and he said, "According to what you said, the company needs to invest 120 million, not including the decoration fee. The company can take out this money. Can the price be lowered a little bit?"

Li Wendi is a businessman. Of course he cannot be merciful when doing business, otherwise he will be the only one who suffers.

Zhang Wentao thought for a moment and said, "I can go talk to the owners. I personally think the price can be lowered further. Both owners are anxious to get their money back, and the property has major flaws. I will try to lower the price of the store to 4%, and the price of the office building to a little higher, around 6%."

"Okay, as long as we can reduce it by 10%, we can earn an extra 10%. The commission for this order will be based on our selling price, and we don't have to pay a proportional commission to the company. You guys can take it all." Li Wendi was also generous. He knew that this deal was not easy to do, and the company was making a profit, so he should at least let the employees have some soup.

"Thank you, boss!" Zhang Wentao said gratefully.

"Should we leave the decoration to our own decoration company?" Zhang Wentao continued to ask. He didn't want the sale to be delayed. If the decoration company's business could not be ranked, he would suggest looking for other companies.

Li Wendi nodded. "The decoration company has some business recently, but not much. We should be able to enter the market right away. You should negotiate as soon as possible. This business must be done quickly. We can neither let others intercept it nor let it fall on your hands."

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Zhang Wentao immediately stood up and left the office.

Li Wendi was still a little worried, so he went to the haunted shop to see the situation in person.

This store is located in a more prosperous area of ​​Tsim Sha Tsui, not far from Starlight Real Estate Company.

But the scene next to the store is quite different. There is an incense burner in front of the door, which is filled with incense and yellow paper money. Pedestrians avoid this store as if they are avoiding the god of plague.

It doesn't seem like a big deal during the day, but at night, this messy scene feels like a mass grave or a cemetery, extremely eerie.

The scene that night appeared in Li Wendi's mind, and he couldn't help feeling a little scared.

Cleaning up these Yuanbao candles and incense is a piece of cake, the key is how to clear other people’s bad impression of this store.

Li Wendi felt that asking a wizard to perform a ritual was definitely not enough, and as for other means, he was at his wit's end.

But he felt that Zhang Wentao should have a better way.

After visiting the actual store, Li Wendi's uneasy mood seemed to calm down a little. He was not as worried as before and felt more confident about this business.
