Chapter 79 [Bidding Roller Coaster]

Sham Shui Po Tea House

At this moment, there were 5 or 6 tables in the restaurant filled with people. They all wore some accessories and had black and blue tattoos engraved on their necks, arms, and chests. One glance revealed the identities of these people - young and dangerous gangsters, and the younger brothers of Yan Cong from the Yisheng Society!
Yan Cong himself was fighting with a plate of dry fried beef noodles and seemed to be enjoying the meal very much. However, the other brothers were looking at Li Wendi and Zhang Yan who had just entered the room, with rebellious looks on their faces.

"Boss Yan!! How come you make so much money but still eat this?" Li Wendi pulled out the chair next to Yan Cong and sat down, speaking in a joking tone.

Yan Cong didn't even raise his head and sneered, "What big money are you making? You guys took the first profit and left, but what about me? I can only get a little bit of soup."

"Haha!! The world is always better when you go fast." Li Wendi laughed, "But I asked you out this time and I have a business deal to introduce to you. I wonder if you are interested?"

Yan Cong said cautiously, "It's not those businesses you have left over, right?"

"Of course not. I'm short of funds this time. I'll play one myself and give you the other." Li Wendi called the waiter to serve two servings of fried noodles. He then continued, "It's also a warehouse-turned-vegetable-market business in North Point. But the money earned is not as much as in Sham Shui Po. One warehouse can earn close to 20 yuan."

"North Point? It's neither Yisheng's nor He Liansheng's territory. Will it be difficult to do business there?" Yan Cong's thinking is limited. In his opinion, business can only be done in his own territory, as this will increase the chances of success.

Li Wendi laughed and said, "This is how business works. No matter whose territory it is, if there is business, just do it. If you have to consider which society's territory it is, then how did I make money from my business in Sham Shui Po?"

Yan Cong was slightly stunned for a moment, then he lowered his head, picked up the rice noodles and stuffed them into his mouth, trying to hide his embarrassment. After a long while, he said, "Why don't you find someone else?"

Yan Cong naturally didn't trust Li Wendi, after all, they had no friendship at all.

"Of course there is a reason." Li Wendi smiled and explained the reason.

"Aren't the Bao family your relatives?" Yan Cong had investigated some information about Li Wendi, but it was not detailed enough, so he didn't know much about the grudge between the Bao family and Li Wendi. He just knew that the two families were relatives.

"Humph!" Li Wendi sneered, "There are bad relatives too. You can make things difficult for them for me, even if it means breaking their limbs."

Even though these things were spread, Li Wendi just refused to admit it.

Yan Cong smiled and said, "That's true. Black Wolf is indeed Black Wolf. He doesn't even show mercy to his relatives."

Li Wendi retorted, "Didn't Boss Yan beat up my brother-in-law last time? Why are you trying to be merciful now?"

After several meetings, Li Wendi gradually understood Yan Cong's personality. He was rude but not reckless, and a little smart, so he was sure that Yan Cong would not turn against him because of a few words.

After talking to Yan Cong, Li Wendi ate the stir-fried beef noodles in a few bites, "Thank you, Boss Yan, for the stir-fried beef noodles!"

Watching Li Wendi leave, a flat-headed boy walked up to Yan Cong and leaned over to ask in his ear, "Boss, do you want to send someone to do it?"

The people I'm talking about are of course Li Wendi and Zhang Yan.

Yan Cong still stared at the back, and after half a minute, he waved his hand and said, "No need. We are all gangsters. If I mess with him, he will find someone to mess with me. If you can kill him, you can consider it."

The following words made the younger brother feel conflicted. Even if he killed Li Wendi, he would not be able to escape. Those uncles in the society would definitely use him as a scapegoat.

Yan Cong naturally knew that his younger brother did not have the courage to do so, and he had no intention of killing Li Wendi. He was just teasing his younger brother.

He didn't believe everything Li Wendi said about the business, but he had to, so he asked his subordinates to check whether it was true.

The next morning, Li Wendi took Zhang Yan to discuss the transfer with the owner of the North Point warehouse.

As a result, I met a competitor I didn't want to see.

"Mr. Lu, didn't we agree on the price last time? Why did you change your mind now?" A familiar voice sounded.

A smile appeared on Li Wendi's lips, and he stepped over the threshold and entered the private room.

The man who spoke looked up, his pupils immediately dilated, and he was obviously surprised.

"Mr. Lu, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Li Wendi, the owner who wants to buy your warehouse." Zhang Yan introduced the tall and thin middle-aged man.

Lv Jingzhong's face was filled with smiles, and he quickly stepped forward to shake hands with Li Wendi. If Li Wendi hadn't offered, he would have lost tens of thousands of yuan. "Hello, Mr. Li! I finally meet you in person today. I didn't expect you to be so young."

"Mr. Lu, you are also very young!" Li Wendi complimented him back. Li Wendi did not sit down immediately, but walked to Bao Qingfan and said with a smile, "Why is cousin here? Could it be that the Bao family is also interested in the warehouse renovation?"

This sentence was naturally a malicious ridicule, and the tone was full of mockery.

"So you took the opportunity to interfere!" Bao Qingfan was furious, "Don't think that my Bao family can't do anything to you."

The angrier Bao Qingfan got, the happier Li Wendi became. The corners of his mouth curled up and he said with a wicked smile, "Don't be like this. Lu Sheng didn't sign a contract with you, so he naturally has the right to sell it to anyone. You can't take your anger out on me just because Lu Sheng didn't sell the warehouse to you. Besides, if your Bao family had a way to deal with me, would they have waited until today?"

"You" Bao Qingfan was so angry that he couldn't speak, and his face turned red.

"Mr. Lu, my Bao family is buying your warehouse at a 2% premium." Bao Qingfan turned to look at Lu Jingzhong, his voice a little loud.

"I offer a 21% premium." Li Wendi smiled faintly. This is not an auction, so there is no such thing as three hammer falls.

"22%!"

Soon the premium exceeded 3%, and Bao Qingfan came up with a plan to make Li Wendi lose money.

"I'll offer a 4% premium!" Bao Qingfan gritted his teeth and said as he bid, looking at Li Wendi provocatively.

Lu Jingzhong smiled so hard that his two rows of yellow teeth were exposed. That was more than 20 yuan, enough to buy two small apartments.

Li Wendi did not bid blindly. He calculated in his mind and felt that this was not Bao Qingfan's highest price. "41%!"

"Mr. Lu, this person is just making trouble. He only adds 1% every time."

Before Bao Qingfan could finish his words, Li Wendi interrupted him again, "Isn't a 1% premium money? That's several thousand yuan. When did my cousin become so generous?"

Seeing Lu Jingzhong's grinning face, Bao Qingfan knew that these derogatory words were useless, so he continued to raise the price, "I'll give you a 45% premium!"

Zhang Yan glanced at Li Wendi with a worried look on his face, fearing that Li Wendi would continue bidding.

Seeing that Li Wendi was still considering, Lu Jingzhong quickly provoked him, "Mr. Li, do you want to admit defeat?"

Li Wendi smiled and said, "Mr. Lu is wrong. This is a business, regardless of whether you win or lose. According to the market situation, there is no profit at a 45% premium. Congratulations, cousin, for getting such a good property at a 45% premium!"

"."Bao Qingfan was a little confused for a moment, as if he had miscalculated.

"Mr. Lu, you'd better sign the contract quickly, otherwise haha!!" Li Wendi reminded Lu Jingzhong in a mean way.

Lu Jingzhong quickly took care of Bao Qingfan, "Mr. Bao, let's go to the law firm to sign the contract right away."

Bao Qingfan looked hesitant. Of course, he would not agree to sign the contract. "Mr. Lu, I need to go back and discuss the 45% premium with my father before I can decide. Sorry."

After saying that, Bao Qingfan almost ran out of the door, and Lu Jingzhong had no time to react.

Seeing this, Lu Jingzhong quickly said to Li Wendi, "Mr. Li, I'll sell it to you at a 40% premium."

Li Wendi shook his head and said, "Mr. Lu, to be honest, I can't afford a 4% premium. How about this, a 2% premium, which is higher than before."

"Mr. Li, why don't you keep your word? You just offered a 4% premium." Lu Jingzhong's tone was a little unfriendly.

"Then Mr. Lu, go find Mr. Bao. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first." Li Wendi stood up and was about to leave.

There is no competitor, but he still charges a 4% premium. Just think he is a fool.

"Mr. Li, how about a 3% premium?"

“25%!”
