Chapter 202 Bargaining
He's not here.
Shang Wan frowned, "When will you be back?"
Chen Cai: "Just in the next two days. I'll ask when they come back and get back to you after I've found out."
"Okay, before you decide, if you have other good shops, let me know. I can change them at any time."
Chen Cai: “…”
You are so beautiful!
After delivering Chu Xu's letter to the post station, Shang Wan and his party took a ox cart back home.
Three days later, Chen Cai brought the news that the owner of the shop agreed, but had one request: Shang Wan had to find a way to bankrupt the restaurant, otherwise he would not lower the rent.
Shang Wan: “…”
This boss really has a good plan. He wants her to help ruin the restaurant for just one hundred taels. What is he thinking?
"If he gives me another 200 taels, I can consider it."
Chen Cai was speechless and fanned himself vigorously with his folding fan to cool down his anger.
He said unhappily, "Are you going to rent it or not? If not, don't waste my time."
The demands were too many and too long. If it were someone else, he would have quit long ago.
"Rent it, why not?" Shang Wan squinted at him, "I'm not the one making trouble. Listen to his request. Would you be willing to do it if it were you?"
Chen Cai...was indeed not happy about it.
"But your two hundred taels is too much."
Shang Wan sneered, "Isn't this just to see his sincerity?"
Chen Cai: “…”
Who is the landlord after all?
He said, "I can ask for you, but don't hold your hopes too high."
Shang Wan: “Thank you.”
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's already started to create hatred for her before the store even opens. He's a ruthless person.
·
Chen Cai led Shang Wan into a private room on the second floor of the restaurant, where someone was already waiting.
"Master Zhong, this is Madam Shang." Chen Cai introduced them to the two.
Young Master Zhong has just come of age. He looks very handsome, with a pair of bright and charming peach blossom eyes.
His gaze turned to Shang Wan, and he raised his hand to bow, "My name is Zhongli, the Li who is deserted by everyone."
Shang Wan twitched his lips. This introduction was quite unique.
She bowed in return, "My surname is Shang, and all businessmen are dishonest. Hello, Master Zhong."
Zhongli:? ? ?
Chen Cai: “…”
The atmosphere in the box was a little weird for a moment. Zhongli laughed dryly twice to break the awkwardness, "Madam Shang is really good at joking."
Shang Wan pursed his lips, smiling with his face but not his heart, "I'm not as good at joking as Master Zhong."
Zhongli: "..."
"Everyone, sit down and talk." Chen Cai winked at Shang Wan, "Hold on, are you still going to rent the shop?"
Of course Shang Wan wanted to rent it, so he sat down obediently.
Zhong left and went straight to the point: "If I agree to lower the price to rent it to Madam Shang, how do you want to deal with the restaurant?"
Shang Wan glanced at the waiter waiting on the side.
Good man, plotting in front of the guys, a conspiracy, right?
She smiled but spoke in a less polite manner, "Master Zhong, are you trying to get something for nothing?"
The donkey has a carrot hanging in front of it, but this guy wants to get something for free with just one sentence. What is he thinking?
Perhaps he didn't expect Shang Wan to speak so directly. Zhongli was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and waved his hand to let the waiter go out.
The guy walked out in small steps, obviously wanting to find out more about the enemy.
Zhongli said coldly: "Are you waiting for me to reward you?"
The guy immediately changed his mind from walking to running, slamming the door shut as if he was being chased by a dog.
The footsteps gradually faded away, and voices began to be heard again in the box.
"Madam Shang, you are quick to speak. I will not beat around the bush." Zhongli tapped the table with his fingers, and looked directly at Shang Wan with his peach blossom eyes, with a hint of authority. "Madam Shang, how confident are you?"
Shang Wan: "The lower the annual rent, the greater the chance of success. It would be even better if we don't charge rent."
Zhongli: "..."
Chen Cai pulled Shang Wan's sleeve under the table and said, "Take it easy."
Shang Wan pursed her lips and smiled, "It's just a joke. 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 rather a bit arrogant.
Zhongli laughed twice suddenly and pointed his finger at the ground, "Do you know who owns this restaurant?"
Shang Wan shook his head honestly.
Zhongli snorted with an ambiguous laugh, his eyes flashing with coldness, "This is the restaurant opened by Qiao Yugui, the eldest son of the Qiao family."
Qiao Yugui?
Shang Wan: Haha, this world is really small.
Zhongli looked at her, "There are no more than a handful of people in the city who dare to go against Young Master Qiao. Madam Shang is very courageous."
Shang Wan: “…”
I'm not as brave as you, and I've even moved my discussion to someone else's territory.
"Not as good as Master Zhong." Shang Wan's lips curved, "Master Qiao's legs were almost broken."
Zhongli's eyes turned darker, the brightness in his peach blossom eyes was gone, and he looked a little gloomy.
"From whom did Madam Shang hear the rumor?"
"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, and his expression suddenly relaxed as if he was thinking about something.
"That medicine came from you."
His tone was firm. Shang Wan knew what medicine he was referring to and did not deny it.
Chen Cai drank his tea silently, trying to reduce his presence.
"Mrs. Shang is very capable."
Shang Wan inexplicably heard some gnashing of teeth in these words.
That's right. It was so difficult to set up a trap to destroy Qiao Yuguai's legs, but in the end her medicine saved them. Wouldn't she be gnashing her teeth?
She thought for a moment and asked directly, "Is the shop still available for rent?"
If you don't rent her out, you can find another buyer.
"Rent." Zhongli laughed twice like a psychopath, "I hope Madam Shang won't let me down."
A few hundred taels were nothing to him. He would be extremely happy to see Qiao Yuguai in trouble.
Shang Wan began to wonder what the grudge between the two was. Chen Cai should know, so he could ask him when he had the chance.
Zhongli said, "The rent for the first year is 200 taels, and 400 taels per year thereafter. What do you think, Madam Shang?"
Compared to the original five hundred taels after bargaining, this price is already very affordable.
But Shang Wan’s bargaining principle is that the bargaining is not over until the bottom line is reached.
Taking advantage of Zhongli's good mood (should be), she decided to give him another ruthless blow.
She held up two fingers and said, "Two hundred for two years."
Why would a real man raise his price?
Zhongli really didn't expect Shang Wan to be so good at bargaining. He glanced at Chen Cai who was acting as if it had nothing to do with him and asked, "Did you teach you that?"
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 obviously trying to cheat her, how could she not give him back?
Zhongli lowered his eyes in thought, his long eyelashes casting a shadow in his eyes.
"Okay, but I have a request."
Shang Wan is all ears.
"Within a month, destroy the restaurant."
Shang Wan: “…”
Doesn't this person think too highly of her?
It took her another month to destroy the restaurant. Haha, she could only destroy it in one night.
"One year."
"Half a year."
"Eight months."
"Three months."
The two of them talked back and forth, and finally agreed on a period of six months and signed a contract as evidence.
Sign and seal, and it’s done.
Zhongli was a generous man, and he also took out the money that Shang Wan should give to the middleman.
Shang Wan and Chen Cai were both very satisfied.
