Chapter 5: Talking Business After Drinking

  "Haha, I'm telling you this, okay? To put it simply! Apart from the location, everything else is directly sold to you. I've even hired someone to do an appraisal, and the report can be shown to you, it's in my bedroom upstairs. All the things are worth around 1 million, you also know that the wine, dance, and song configurations here are all good, and even the set of working staff is saved for you to find. The service attitude here is also something you're aware of, definitely nothing to complain about, so this price isn't expensive."

  "Go on!" I nodded to him.

  "This place can't be sold, and I don't want to sell it either. It's like a small treasure chest. Besides, the price is too high for a one-time payment, and I think you've just graduated, so you can't afford that much money at once. So, I was thinking of renting it out." The boss continued, then picked up his cup and gestured for me to drink some. I took a sip of wine with him, looked at him, pursed my lips, and shook my head again. The boss got anxious: "What's wrong? Is there something bothering you? Can't we discuss it?"

  "Dude, are you kidding me?" I asked him with a smile.

  "What? What's wrong? Why are you saying this?" The boss also asked in surprise.

  "Hey, you really don't understand me. I studied finance and accounting in school. With the kind of things you have, if we really calculate the depreciation, it can't even be counted as five or ten years according to the law. Let me calculate it slowly for you, it would be fully depreciated in two years, and that's being generous with a 50% depreciation per year! Other things, you use them every day, how many times more than normal do you think they can last? Can I really give you the legal depreciation rate? Not to mention the physical damage, I can at most give you three years of depreciation!" I said with a smile, and then took another sip of wine. The boss looked at me in surprise, his eyes wide with wonder.

  "Besides, you and I are worth tens of millions, don't you think that I treat you like a real brother? At most, we can negotiate to 8 million, even if it's 7.5 million, you would still agree reluctantly, but in the end, you still made a huge profit. To be honest, even brothers calculate accounts clearly, in business, there is only benefit, what brotherly love? Are you kidding me?" I threw another bombshell at the boss and smiled slyly at him.

  The boss let out a sigh, then stretched out his thumb at me, and then smiled awkwardly to relieve himself: "Alright, I was wrong, I'll buy you a drink and apologize!" Then the boss opened a bottle of beer and drank it all in one breath, before shouting at the bar: "Bring over some wine, all kinds of wine!"

  "Haha, boss is indeed a straightforward person, great, great! He's so good at talking that he just brought the matter to an end with just these two sentences!"

  "Hey, can you stop teasing me? You're still mocking me even after all this? I didn't expect you to be so deep. You're really good at talking, it seems like I'm the one who's been fooled!" The boss said to me with a helpless tone.

  "Alright, alright, no more nonsense. You first tell me how you plan to rent out your land." I didn't bother to pursue the matter of him cheating me, after all, the deal was done and I could save tens of thousands of dollars, so what's the point of pursuing it further?

  "Never mind, you say it, how do you want to rent it? I won't lose face in front of you, just give me a word, at least three years' rental period. But what about the rent?" The boss shook his head and said! Then I burst out laughing loudly. Next, the boss asked me in surprise: "What's wrong, why are you laughing?" And looked around left and right.

  "I'm laughing at you, what are you looking at?" I said with a smile.

  "Laugh at me????" The boss said, pointing at himself.

  "Yeah, right, who am I supposed to laugh at if not you? I just want to ask you, when you go to the supermarket to buy things, have you ever taken your items to the service desk and had the staff ask how much you paid for that thing? Haha, you're killing me! I really didn't realize what kind of person you are, haha!"

  This made the boss sit up and take notice, and he started rubbing his little bald head! "Alright, let's make a deal. The rent for signing the contract is 4.5 million yuan per year. This is a prime location on Bar Street, where all sorts of consumption takes place. Isn't this rent reasonable?"

  I took a small piece of ice and chewed on it, then shook my head at the boss. "Is this expensive too? This must be the lowest price, everyone knows the land price, if I give it to someone else, I'll have to ask for at least 50,000 yuan in cash!" The boss's eyes widened in urgency!

  "Ah, I know it's not expensive, but I don't want it. Others may rent it, but I won't!" I said to the boss and raised my cup to gesture for a drink. After finishing the drink, the boss directly said: "You've been fooling me all this time, saying you don't want it? Ah!"

  "Huh? Who told you I didn't want to? I rubbed my nose and said: "I don't want to rent, I want to buy. Renting a place for business is too costly, if there's no circulating capital then renting is fine, but with circulating capital, I'm definitely buying. Let me give you a price, let's round it off to 666 million, this place is worth around 600-700 million anyway, so I'll calculate it as 600 million, and the remaining amount can be considered as the goods' price!" After finishing, I lit another cigarette and looked at the boss.

  "No way, that's too low!" The boss stood up and said, "Besides, you just graduated, where did you get so much money? Are you kidding me?"

  "Haha, don't worry about the money!" I said, pulling up my collar to reveal the light gray Dior logo inside. I also pointed to the diamond pattern on the leather wallet on the table and smiled: "See? The barcode is inside, so I won't show it to you. To be honest with you, two years ago, I opened a Dior flagship trial store from my family's side, but now it's an official authorized store, still a flagship one. In these two years, I've also saved up quite some private money, buying this land is not difficult at all. Besides, I really like this environment!" After finishing speaking, I narrowed my eyes and looked at the already shocked boss.

  After a few minutes, the boss had reacted from the shock and opened his mouth: "But, but it's really a bit low... How about you add some more?" The boss asked me.

  "Oh? Now everyone knows, the competition in this industry is too great, I think you're not making much money either, that's why you're thinking of getting rid of it, right? Anyway, it's just this price, consider it and say something! Don't regret it later..."

  "Hmm..." The boss stroked his chin, thinking for a few minutes before saying: "Add a bit more and make it an even number!" I shook my head directly: "666 is already pretty good, if I hadn't been stuck here with you, I would have just taken the decimal part and made it 600!"

  "So when can you take it?" The boss seemed to be in a hurry to get rid of it too, and didn't waste any words, directly asking.

  "I've got a return ticket for tomorrow, at the latest in three days. The flight is only an hour and a half, so I estimate I'll be back as early as one day!" I thought about it and told my boss.

  "Alright! That's settled then! Tomorrow I'll get someone to draft the contract first, and then we can discuss the details after reviewing it. By the way, we've known each other for so long but I still don't know what to call you?" The bar owner agreed readily.

  I hope you all give me more likes and dislikes, every slight click of your mouse is the greatest support for my writing!
