Chapter 204 Bargaining
Not even there.
Shang Wan frowned, "When will you come back?"
Chen Cai: "Just these two days. I'll ask them when they come back. I'll give you a reply after I've asked them clearly."
"Okay, before you decide, if you have any other good shops, let me know. I can change them at any time."
Chen Cai: "..."
You are so beautiful!
After handing Chu Xu’s letter to the inn, Shang Wan and his entourage took the ox cart home.
Three days later, Chen Cai sent news that the owner of the shop agreed, but there was one requirement: Shang Wan had to find a way to destroy the restaurant, otherwise he would not lower the rent.
Shang Wan: "..."
This owner is really good at calculating. He wants her to help bring down the restaurant for a hundred taels. What good thing is he thinking of?
"If he gives me another two hundred taels, I can consider it."
Chen Cai was speechless and fanned the folding fan vigorously to cool down the fire.
He said angrily: "Do you want to rent it or not? If not, don't waste my time."
The demands were many and tiresome, and if it had been anyone else, he would have given up the job long ago.
"Rent, why don't you rent?" Shang Wan looked at him sideways, "I'm not the one making trouble unreasonably. Please listen to his request. Would you like it instead?"
Chen Cai... was indeed not happy.
"But your two hundred taels will make a lion's mouth open."
Shang Wan sneered, "Isn't this just to see his sincerity?"
Chen Cai: "..."
Who is the landlord?
He said: "I can help you ask, but don't have high hopes."
Shang Wan: "Thank you very much."
Two days later, new news came.
The owner of the shop wanted to meet Shang Wan, so he made an appointment at the restaurant opposite the shop.
Shang Wan: "..."
Well, he started to make her hateful even before she opened. He is a cruel person.
·
Chen Cai led Shang Wan into the private room on the second floor of the restaurant, where someone was already waiting.
"Master Zhong, this is Mrs. Shang." Chen Cai introduced the two of them.
Mr. Zhong has just reached his crown, his appearance is charming, and his peach blossom eyes are full of hope.
His eyes turned to Shang Wan, and he raised his hands and bowed, "I am Zhongli, the one who betrays all relatives."
Shang Wan twitched his lips, this introduction was quite unique.
She returned the favor and said, "My surname is Shang. I am a businessman who is not a treacherous businessman. I wish you all the best, Mr. Zhong."
Zhongli:? ? ?
Chen Cai: "..."
The atmosphere in the box was a little strange for a moment. Zhongli laughed twice to break the awkwardness, "Mrs. Shang really knows how to joke."
Shang Wan licked his lips and smiled softly, "I am no better at joking than Master Zhong."
Zhongli: "..."
"Let's sit down and talk." Chen Cai winked at Shang Wan and said, "Don't you want to rent a shop?"
Of course Shang Wan wanted to rent it, so he sat down obediently.
Zhong Li came straight to the point and said, "If I agree to rent it to Mrs. Shang at a reduced price, how do you want to deal with the restaurant?"
Shang Wan glanced at the waiting waiter.
Good guy, you're plotting in front of your boss, right?
She was smiling, but her words were not so polite, "Master Zhong, are you trying to get away with nothing?"
The donkey still has a carrot hanging in front of him. This guy just wants to have a free prostitution plan with just one sentence. What good thing is he thinking of?
Perhaps he didn't expect Shang Wan to speak so directly. Zhongli was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved the guy out.
The man walked out with small steps, obviously wanting to learn more about the enemy.
Zhongli said coldly: "Are you waiting for me to show you my feet?"
The boy immediately changed from walking to running, slamming the door as if being chased by a dog.
The footsteps gradually faded away, and voices resounded in the box again.
"Mrs. Shang speaks quickly, and I won't beat around the bush." Zhong Li knocked on the table with his fingers, and looked directly at Shang Wan with his peach-blossom eyes, vaguely powerful, "How sure are you, Mrs. Shang?"
Shang Wan: "The lower the annual rent, the greater the certainty. It would be better if we don't charge rent."
Zhongli: "..."
Chen Cai pulled Shang Wan's sleeves under the table and asked him to take it easy. Shang Wan pursed his lips and smiled, "Just kidding, how confident I am depends on how sincere Master Zhong is."
The woman was wearing a pink pomegranate skirt. She looked pretty, but her words were not coquettish, and she was a bit arrogant.
Zhong Li laughed suddenly and pointed to the ground, "Do you know who owns this restaurant?"
Shang Wan shook his head honestly.
Zhong Li chuckled with unknown meaning, a cold look flashed in his eyes, "This is the restaurant opened by Qiao Yugui, the eldest young master of the Qiao family."
Qiao Yugui?
Shang Wanhehehe, this world is really small.
Zhong Li looked at her, "There are only a handful of people in the city who dare to go against Young Master Qiao. Madam Shang is so courageous."
Shang Wan: "..."
If you don't have the guts, we'll negotiate on someone else's territory.
"Not as good as Master Zhong." Shang Wan's lips curved, "Young Master Qiao's legs are almost useless."
Zhongli's eyes turned dark, and the brightness in his peach blossom eyes was gone, and they looked slightly gloomy.
"Who did Mrs. Shang hear the rumor from?"
"A rumor?" Shang Wan stared at him, "I don't think it's a rumor. What do you think, Master Zhong?"
Zhongli looked at her for a moment. He didn't know what he thought of, but his expression suddenly softened.
"That medicine came from you."
His tone was determined. Shang Wan knew what medicine he was referring to and did not deny it.
Chen Cai drank tea silently, reducing his sense of presence.
"Ms. Shang is very capable."
Shang Wan inexplicably heard a bit of gritted teeth in these words.
That's right. After finally setting up a trap to destroy Qiao Yugui's leg, but her medicine saved it, shouldn't you grit your teeth?
She thought for a moment and asked directly: "Is that shop still available for rent?"
Don't rent her so she can find a new home.
"Rent." Zhongli laughed like a lunatic, "I hope Madam Shang won't disappoint me."
A few hundred taels is nothing to him. If he could see Qiao Yugui in trouble, he would be extremely happy.
Shang Wan began to wonder what the grudge was between the two people. Chen Cai should know and ask him if he has the chance.
Zhongli said: "The rent for the first year is two hundred taels, and then four hundred taels per year. What does Mrs. Shang think?"
Compared with the original bargain price of five hundred taels, this price is already very affordable.
But Shang Wan’s bargaining principle is that it’s not finished until the bottom line is reached.
Taking advantage of Zhongli's good mood now (as he should be), she decided to strike hard again.
She held out two fingers and said, "Two hundred and two years' rent."
How much does a real man's price increase?
Zhong Li really didn’t expect Shang Wan to be so good at bargaining. He glanced at Chen Cai, who was doing something irrelevant next to him. Did you teach him this?
Chen Cai: "..."
no! ! !
This woman is self-taught, it has nothing to do with him! !
Shang Wan looked at Zhongli leisurely, waiting for him to make a decision.
This person was clearly cheating on her, how could she not return it?
Zhongli lowered his eyes and thought, his long eyelashes casting a shadow under his eyes.
"Okay, but I have a request."
Shang Wan was all ears.
"Within a month, the restaurant will be destroyed."
Shang Wan: "..."
Doesn't this person think highly of her too much?
She also destroyed the restaurant in a month, haha, she could only destroy the restaurant in one night.
"One year."
"Half a year."
"Eight months."
"Three months."
The two of them went back and forth, and finally agreed on a six-month period, which was evidenced by a deed.
Sign and pledge, it's done.
Zhongli was a generous man, so he also paid Shang Wan's portion of the money that should be given to the middle-aged man.
Shang Wan and Chen Cai were very satisfied.
