Chapter 604: Chapter 588: You Don’t Even Have Enough Money, Yet You’re Bargaining With Me?

When Huang Tao and the others came in, there were already two people sitting inside, chatting and laughing.

"Mr. Wei, Boss Xu..."

Ding Cheng greeted them warmly: "You’re both here already?"

The two of them stood up together, and the young man said with a smile, "General Manager Jiang, Assistant Ding, when you call, I have to come even if I’m at the ends of the earth!"

The other was a bald middle-aged man with a much more respectful demeanor: "General Manager Jiang, Assistant Ding, hello."

After speaking, his gaze fell on Huang Tao, who was holding Xuanxuan, and Ye Wen beside Jiang Mingtao. With a knowing look in his eyes, he smiled and asked: "General Manager Jiang, is this the buyer you mentioned? So handsome! His wife and child are also beautiful, and the parents are very young. The brother and sister-in-law are quite handsome and attractive too."

What wife!

When Ye Wen realized he was referring to her, her pretty face couldn’t help but show a breathtaking smile.

But she didn’t explain the inaccuracy of the term "wife" to the landlord.

She didn’t mind at all!

Huang Tao was a bit stunned and thought of explaining, but then thought again, he would just meet them this once; explaining too much would be troublesome.

Moreover, since Ye Wen didn’t voice any response, he decided not to make unnecessary gestures, to avoid making Ye Wen feel awkward and to prevent further misunderstandings.

Everyone else had the same thought.

So they all tacitly didn’t explain.

Jiang Mingtao smiled and said to Boss Xu of the hot pot restaurant: "Boss Xu, this is Huang Tao, he’s our General Manager Jiang’s favorite young person, and also our General Manager Jiang’s good friend. Can you make the transfer fee a bit cheaper?"

This shop is currently rented to the original hot pot Boss Xu, and the rent hasn’t expired.

So!

It has to be rented from Boss Xu first.

Boss Xu looked troubled and said: "Assistant Ding, General Manager Jiang, Mr. Huang, my transfer fee of 200,000 is already the lowest price."

"How about this, if we can finalize it today, I’ll reduce it by 30,000 for you, 170,000, no lower than that."

Huang Tao wasn’t in a hurry to respond, but instead proposed: "Can I take a look around?"

"No problem,"

Boss Xu nodded and gestured with his hand: "Please feel free."

The front hall is quite large, visually it can accommodate nearly a hundred guests at the same time!

Those hot pot tables and chairs seemed useless to him, so he didn’t examine them closely.

He walked into the back kitchen, and all sorts of kitchen equipment were still complete.

The stove, various large pots, barrels, rice cookers, range hoods, ventilation fans, and other equipment are well-equipped, and there’s also a temperature-controlled refrigeration cabinet.

The trash area is separately located in the corner.

Except for some dust and grease stains on the range hood due to the store not being open, there were almost no other issues.

The key is that the geographical location here is very good, right next to New World, with several banks and shopping malls nearby, as well as office buildings.

Transportation is also convenient, with subway and bus stops nearby.

Of course.

This price still needs to be pushed down a bit.

After looking around, Huang Tao said: "Boss Xu, your transfer fee is still too high."

"I will have to throw everything here away and renovate anew, the transfer fee can be at most 100,000."

Good heavens~

You think you’re buying clothes?

Half off with me?

If it weren’t for your looks, I would’ve kicked you out long ago!

Even though he has a lot of industries in his hands, opening this hot pot restaurant is purely for fun, but the price was still too low.

He looked troubled all over his face: "Boss Huang, how can you haggle like this! With this price, forgive me for being blunt, but we can’t talk this out even in a day! How about you add a bit more? I’ll cut a little more, fifteen thousand!"

"Boss Xu, your cut is just two thousand, but my increase needs to be five thousand, are you misunderstanding the concepts of ’cut a bit’ and ’add a bit’?"

"By your meaning, I should only pay 135,000..."

Boss Xu: "..."

So your cut and add started from 170,000...

Not wanting to drag this out any longer, Boss Xu reluctantly nodded: "Alright, alright, 135,000 it is then!"

"Great, then let’s sign the transfer contract!"

Huang Tao smiled.

Clearly, this hot pot restaurant wasn’t making money.

But speaking of it.

Such a great location, and what was opened was still a hot pot restaurant, yet it actually shut down.

This boss truly is a talent!

Jiang Mingtao and Ding Cheng were somewhat surprised at Huang Tao’s maneuver.

Didn’t expect this, huh!

Huang Tao turned out to be a negotiation expert hindered by his culinary skills!

Ye Wen and Gu Zhihao, this couple, thought Huang Tao was absolutely awesome.

Xuanxuan had a face saying, "I don’t understand, but I’m greatly shocked."

The Huang Yide couple were quite happy, saving 65,000 yuan just like that, how could they not be happy!

After Huang Tao signed the transfer contract with Boss Xu, he started chatting with Mr. Wei, the landlord.

The landlord’s name is Wei Daqing, forty-five years old.

During the conversation, it was learned that he bought this store a few years ago. Huang Tao didn’t ask much and went straight into the negotiation and bargaining.

When Wei Daqing learned that Huang Tao wanted to buy his shopfront, he was a bit surprised, but when Huang Tao asked him to name a price, he smiled and gave a price he had in mind: "15 million."

Jiang Mingtao and Ding Cheng were also quite surprised.

After all, they always thought Huang Tao was going to rent a shop, not buy one!

Huang Tao shook his head, "Mr. Wei, your price is too high!"

Wei Daqing asked, "Then what do you suggest?"

Huang Tao gave a mental price: "6 million."

Oh my God~

Wei Daqing nearly spat out old blood.

He knew Huang Tao was a bargaining wizard, but he didn’t expect it to be so drastic...

He was a bit emotional and said, "Brother, you’re really pressing the price too hard, have you checked out the surrounding shopfronts? Is the average price below fifty or sixty thousand?"

Huang Tao answered lightly, "Even if it’s calculated at fifty thousand, it’s only 8.5 million, right?"

"Uh..."

Wei Daqing forced a smile and said, "13 million, can’t go lower than this."

"7 million."

"12 million."

"8 million."

Gu Zhihao and his partner watched them haggling back and forth, feeling quite speechless too.

They had never seen haggling like this!

But when they thought about it carefully, it seemed they hadn’t really seen anyone else haggling either!

The Huang Yide couple wished they could jump in and help Huang Tao with the negotiation!

After all, spending the least amount of money to get the most desirable shopfront is the way to go!

Ye Wen and Xuanxuan were also secretly cheering Huang Tao on, hoping he could negotiate the lowest price.

Jiang Mingtao and Ding Cheng were also stunned, their company negotiations had never been this intense!

"10 million!"

"9 million."

Huang Tao stood firm: "This price isn’t low. If you agree, we can sign the contract right now."

Wei Daqing smiled and asked, "Full payment?"

Full payment, that’s not possible!

Although there wasn’t that much money, Huang Tao calmly said, "I just wanted to discuss this matter with Mr. Wei."

"My plan is to first pay Mr. Wei 4 million, and the remaining 5 million, I will settle within the next six months, what do you think?"

These words left Wei Daqing’s smile frozen in mid-air, his mouth twitching.

Are you sure you’re not kidding me?

He was a bit amused and frustrated: "Mr. Huang, if you don’t have that much money, why are you still negotiating prices with me? Isn’t this wasting my time and effort?"

Huang Tao didn’t explain, continuing, "Mr. Wei, rest assured, the remaining 5 million I will definitely clear within six months, and this 5 million will be calculated with bank loan interest rates, giving you interest."

Initially ready to leave, upon hearing this, Wei Daqing couldn’t help but ponder.

Given the bank loan interest rate, even at 5.6%, that’s nearly 200,000 in half a year!

Hmm.

Giving interest, it’s somewhat passable.

However...

He still worriedly said, "But what if you can’t settle within six months, won’t I suffer a huge loss?"

Wei Daqing’s concern was understandable to Huang Tao.

Even though he had confidence in this shop, they weren’t related, so having apprehensions was reasonable.

After all, the previous owner transferred the store due to poor management.

Just then, as he was thinking of how to persuade Wei Daqing, he saw Jiang Mingtao opening his mouth to assist: "Mr. Wei, rest assured, with Huang Tao’s character, he will definitely settle the amount and interest within the agreed time."

Wei Daqing showed a difficult expression: "But it’s better to be safe than sorry..."

Jiang Mingtao continued: "How about this, if Boss Huang doesn’t settle the remaining amount and interest within six months, you can come to my company to find me. I’ll pay the 5 million, including the interest, on behalf of Boss Huang."

Huang Tao shot a grateful glance at Jiang Mingtao.

"With your words, General Manager Jiang, I’m relieved."

Wei Daqing thought about it and nodded, "Alright, I’ll do it as a favor to General Manager Jiang, but this clause must be written into the contract, is there a problem?"

"No problem."

Jiang Mingtao and Huang Tao nodded.
