Chapter 80 [Encounter]

Eventually the premium dropped back to 2%. Although Lu Jingzhong was somewhat reluctant and did not dare to harbor any more hope, coupled with Zhang Yan's exaggeration, Lu Jingzhong had no choice but to sell it.

Originally, Lu Jingzhong wanted to delay it, what if Bao Qingfan came back? After all, it was only a 2% premium.

Li Wendi responded, "If we don't sign the contract today, we may not be able to sign the contract tomorrow."

Li Wendi did not lie. There are quite a few warehouses in North Point. The warehouse that Lu Jingzhong has is just in a better location, but it is not the only choice.

If it wasn't Bao Qingfan's business, Li Wendi didn't want to pay a 2% premium, but he was also worried that Bao Qingfan would come back to take over the warehouse, and all his work would be in vain.

After signing the contract, Li Wendi instructed Zhang Yan to bring the decoration team to the site immediately and complete the renovation of the warehouse as quickly as possible.

Bao Ligui is no pushover. He is definitely not a fool to have managed to get to his current position in such a chaotic social order. He should be able to find a replacement soon and work hard on the progress of the project, striving to complete it before Li Wendi's vegetable market opens. Only in this way can he turn the situation around and even attack Li Wendi.

After all, the market in North Point is so small. If there is one more vegetable market, there will be fewer buyers. If you are in a hurry to sell, you will need to lower the price, reduce profits, or even lose money.

So time is also very important, and anyone with insight will not ignore this point.

The negotiations from Yan Cong were even more brutal. Even though the land was not Yisheng's, Yan Cong's arrogance did not diminish much. Facing the bidding from the Bao family, he directly used his big move to threaten the Bao family. The seller did not dare to offend such a gangster and could only sell it to Yan Cong at the market price.

In order to further suppress the Bao family, Li Wendi specifically called Yan Cong to remind him that the timing of the renovation plan was very important, and selling it before others sold it was the best way to get the most profit.

Zhang Yan next to them was very puzzled. If Yan Cong's vegetable market was sold before them, then they would not make as much money. Li Wendi's behavior was a bit too much.

In order to take revenge on the Bao family, he even gave up the profits.

So, Li Wendi patiently explained to Zhang Yan, "The market in North Point will not be saturated immediately, and there will not be much conflict with Yan Cong. However, in order to make a big profit, the progress of the project must be accelerated and it is enough to sell it a little earlier than Yan Cong."

Zhang Yan cared about the profit issue, and he also knew that Li Wendi took over the business mainly to take revenge on the Bao family, so he did not continue to remind Yan Cong of the problem.

Sunday, November 4

On this day, Li Wendi was resting at home and saw Li Xiaonan studying at the table for a long time. He suggested taking Li Xiaonan out for a walk. His busy mother Guo Cuiting immediately agreed, asking Li Xiaonan to combine work and rest and not to read for too long to hurt her eyes.

In fact, in the past, Guo Cuiting would not have cared too much. Instead, she would have encouraged Li Xiaonan to study hard, hoping that her daughter could help her son in the future. But now, Li Wendi has become much more sensible and is doing the right thing, so she is not too anxious about whether Li Xiaonan can be admitted to the University of Hong Kong. As long as she can get into university, it's enough.

Li Xiaonan is also a sensible girl, but knowing that her brother can make a lot of money, she has high requirements for clothing, especially after visiting the villa he invested in before.

So, Li Wendi and Li Xiaonan took a taxi to the shopping mall in Central.

Looking at the crowded shopping mall, Li Wendi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Central is really a place of Feng Shui, it's hard to describe it as making a fortune every day."

"Sister Wanying, you are coming to the mall to shop." Li Xiaonan met Zhao Wanying while trying on clothes.

Zhao Wanying greeted Li Xiaonan with a smile, and out of the corner of her eye she saw Li Wendi sitting in the corner. Li Wendi naturally also saw Zhao Wanying and her friends.

Li Wendi stood up and went to greet him, "What a coincidence, Wanying. Who is this?"

"Hello! I am Wanying's friend. My name is He Qijun." The sweet-looking girl introduced herself with a slight bow. She was very graceful and generous in her dealings with others, without any intention of relying on Zhao Wanying.

Li Wendi was impressed by her behavior. Judging from her clothes, she must be from a good family. After all, the clothes she wore were all branded. As for the brand, Li Wendi couldn't tell. "Hello, I'm Wanying, my last name is Li Wendi." Li Wendi had a faint smile on her face, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.

Zhao Wanying saw that Li Wendi looked at He Qijun unkindly, so she gave Li Wendi a glance and said, "Don't have any bad ideas."

Li Wendi was not embarrassed and smiled and said, "What bad ideas can we have? We just happened to meet you."

Then he changed the subject and said, "It's almost noon, I wonder if I can treat you two beauties to a meal?"

He Qijun subconsciously looked at Zhao Wanying. This was Zhao Wanying's neighbor, and she didn't know her very well, so naturally she wouldn't make the decision.

Li Xiaonan hugged Zhao Wanying's arm and said coquettishly, "Sister Wanying, come with me. I know there is a good barbecue restaurant downstairs. We can go and try it."

Zhao Wanying was wary of Li Wendi, but she still trusted Li Xiaonan. The mother and daughter of the Li family had a very good reputation among the neighbors in Sai Wan, so Zhao Wanying agreed reluctantly.

However, Zhao Wanying and He Qijun still wanted to go shopping and buy a few more clothes, so Li Wendi became the "worker" of the three women, with his hands full of clothes.

It was not until noon that the three women stopped talking and went to eat. During the meal, He Qijun tried many times to relieve Li Wendi of some of the burden, but Li Wendi naturally would not do such an ungentlemanly thing.

Yasi BBQ

As the only man present, the barbecue task naturally fell to Li Wendi.

"I heard that you sold the garment factory. Why? Wasn't your business pretty good?" Zhao Wanying stuffed a piece of sizzling pork belly into her mouth.

Li Wendi looked up and glanced at Zhao Wanying, then smiled and said, "From the beginning, I never intended to specialize in the clothing business. It was just a transition. Besides, the clothing industry has begun to decline, and it may usher in a cold winter season."

Zhao Wanying didn't know much about business, and Li Wendi explained it in a very logical way, so she nodded and asked, "What kind of business are you going to start?"

Li Wendi replied, "I invest in real estate and the stock market."

"Ms. He, this piece of beef is already cooked. Would you like to try it?" Li Wendi picked up a piece of meat from the iron plate and handed it to He Qijun.

"Thank you!" He Qijun handed over the porcelain bowl filled with beef cubes.

"Nowadays, many people have made a lot of money by speculating in stocks. The real estate industry requires a lot of capital. The money from selling the garment factory should not be enough." Zhao Wanying asked doubtfully.

Li Wendi smiled and said, "When I was running the clothing store, I was already speculating in stocks. As for real estate, most of it was loans. Now I have made a lot of money."

"My brother bought a villa last time and made a lot of money by selling it." Li Xiaonan chimed in.

"You heard it from your brother, right? We don't know whether it's true or not." Zhao Wanying didn't believe that Li Wendi could gain a foothold in the real estate industry so quickly.

Li Xiaonan shook his head and said, "I've been to that villa. It's over in Deep Water Bay."

With Li Xiaonan's explanation, Zhao Wanying believed it.
