Chapter 8 008 [Imitation]

Saturday, May 9

Li Xiaonan didn't have to go to school, so Li Wendi asked her to go shopping in Central and buy some new clothes for her.

"Brother, the things in the Central shopping mall are too expensive. Let's go shopping somewhere else." Li Xiaonan said sensibly.

Although Guo Cuiting runs a convenience store, the Li family is not well off. Li Xiaonan knew from a young age that her family was not rich and did not allow her to own expensive things.

Li Wendi smiled and said, "I bought those clothes to make templates. I can only let you wear them after they are finished. They are not bought specially for you."

Li Wendi was naturally willing to spend the money to buy a few pieces of clothes for Li Xiaonan, but after two weeks of getting along, Li Wendi had some understanding of Li Xiaonan's personality, and this was just the right way to buy Li Xiaonan some better clothes.

"Oh, so that's it!" Li Xiaonan pursed her lips, feeling a little disappointed. Although she said that she didn't want it, she still hoped to hear that her brother bought clothes specifically for her.

Li Wendi couldn't help but touch Li Xiaonan's head and said, "Before the Spring Festival, I'll take you shopping again, okay?"

In his previous life, Li Wendi was an only child and envied others for having a younger sister. Now that he has a younger sister, he feels that he should make up for the regrets of his previous life.

"Xiao Nan, your brother is too stingy. Brother Yan will buy it for you." Zhang Yan stood by and destroyed the warm atmosphere.

The two siblings rolled their eyes at Zhang Yan in tacit understanding, then walked towards Landmark Plaza, leaving Zhang Yan with a puzzled look on his face.

"Brother, look at this one, it's nice. My classmate is wearing it and it looks very beautiful." Li Xiaonan pointed at a white dress excitedly.

Li Wendi said, "Go and try it. If it fits, buy it."

Although the three of them were not dressed to look wealthy, the temperament displayed by Li Wendi made the salesperson think that he was a wealthy man, so the salesperson hurried over and introduced him to Li Xiaonan.

"This lady has really good taste. We have sold several pieces of this dress in our store, and this is the last one. I think this dress suits you very well."

Seeing that Li Xiaonan liked it very much, Li Wendi smiled and said, "Please take her to try it on."

He is now wealthy and has sold all his inventory, recovering more than 26000 yuan. Buying a few pieces of clothing is just a drop in the bucket for him.

Li Xiaonan looked at the price of the dress, glanced at Li Wendi, and when Li Wendi waved her hand, she reluctantly tried it on.

Soon Li Xiaonan came out of the fitting room. Li Wendi and Zhang Yan were stunned. It seemed that there was a fairy aura surrounding Li Xiaonan.

"Ahem!" Li Wendi pretended to cough a few times and said to the salesperson, "I want this dress. I'll pack it up later."

"Yes, sir!" the salesperson responded with a happy face.

In fact, Li Xiaonan is as pretty as Zhao Wanying, but the clothes she wears are too ordinary and fail to highlight her advantages.

So, Li Xiaonan chose several sets of clothes in this store.

The three of them had dinner in Central before returning to Sai Wan.

Monday, September 9
Li Wendi and Zhang Yan brought a few sets of clothes to the garment factory and asked the clothing technicians to make copies.

Of course, they couldn't copy it completely. Li Wendi instructed the technician to choose one or two conspicuous places to modify it, and then produce it in small batches. Doing business requires testing the market before large-scale production, and only then can you make a lot of money.

Because of this matter, Li Wendi even consulted Zhao Wanying, a lawyer. Zhao Wanying didn't know much, but she had a senior who specialized in this kind of lawsuit, so on the 19th, Zhao Wanying gave a clear answer: as long as it is not completely plagiarized, the clothing factory will not lose even if a lawsuit is filed.

After hearing this answer, Li Wendi became bolder. As long as the market can accept it, he will definitely promote this art of plagiarism.

Many of his peers must have tried this idea before, but Li Wendi adhered to the principle of "small profits but quick turnover" and thought he could do better than his peers and earn more.

"Ayan, go to Tsim Sha Tsui, preferably find a store on our site. We want to open a clothing store, and a 5-6 square foot store will be enough." Li Wendi instructed.

"You want to open a clothing store? The trick we used last time won't be very useful. By then we might even lose money on the rent of the store." Zhang Yan was really afraid that Li Wendi would be heavily in debt and lose a fun playmate.

Li Wendi waved his hand and said, "I have my own plans, don't worry. If I continue to operate the business as usual, I will probably not be able to pay off the debt."

Zhang Yan thought about it and agreed. If normal management was effective, the original owner would not have sold the factory.

After Zhang Yan left, Li Wendi also came to the workshop to urge employees to produce finished products as soon as possible.

Since the finished product was in front of him, the technician also made one of the garments before leaving get off work.

Li Wendi was not vague and directly asked them to produce 10 finished products tomorrow. He wanted to test the market and the purchasing power of the lower-class citizens.

At the same time, he also received news: Hutchison Group announced an investment project, among which the stocks of Dairy Farm and Hong Kong Land alone had a return of more than 12%. Therefore, the share price of Hutchison Group rose by 5% in one day, which means that Li Wendi earned 1500 yuan that day, which was the salary of 4 or 5 workers.

Li Wendi believes that the share price of Hutchison Group will rise again tomorrow, and the increase will not be less than 5%.

No wonder people in Hong Kong in the past didn’t want to work honestly, but only wanted to make money from the stock market. With such a bull market, they could make money without doing anything.

This also prompted Hong Kong people to invest blindly, causing the stock market to further collapse.

However, Li Wendi felt that this speed of making money was not enough, because his capital was too small. Even if he waited until the stock market crash in 73, he might not be able to make 100 million. So he had to take risks in his business so as not to waste his memories of his previous life.

Sure enough, the next day, Hutchison Group's share price continued to soar, rising 2% at the opening, followed by 6% during the lunch break, and by the close of 4 pm, it had risen 11%.

So far, Li Wendi has earned nearly 6000 yuan. From the moment he bought the stock, he has earned about 20%.

Having made so much money from the stock market, Li Wendi knew that the garment factory's "overtaking on the curve" had to speed up. However, when he thought about the fact that next year would be the year when Chinese companies would go public on a large scale and there would be many opportunities to make money, he felt that he was being too impatient.

On that day, the technician produced three finished products, so Li Wendi took all four pieces of clothing home. As a result, he was scolded by Guo Cuiting, who said that the two siblings were too extravagant and spent too much money.

Li Wendi didn't say anything. Li Xiaonan was trying to persuade Guo Cuiting with the clothes in her hand. The charm of the little cotton-padded jacket was naturally powerful, and even her mother couldn't resist it.

"I made a lot of money these days, probably about 1."

When these words came out, Guo Cuiting and her daughter were completely stunned.

Guo Cuiting's convenience store could not even make 1 yuan in a year, but Li Wendi earned 1 yuan in just a few days. She was a little bit unbelieving.

Li Wendi didn't explain or prove anything, he just smiled. After all, the money he earned was only in the account and he couldn't see the cash.

The mother and daughter did not ask any further questions. Li Wendi had really shocked them too much in the past few days, so it was most likely true.
