Moreover, without outsourcing, with Lin Yifeng handling the control alone, at a price of one cent per bicycle, Lin Yifeng could probably earn at least tens of thousands of yuan a year just from parking fees.

The problem is, this place isn't worth the price right now.

In fact, in three or four years, when the Shangdu government establishes its cultural palace, this place will probably be completely abandoned.

In five or six years, the government will take over this place. It's normal for the government to pay three million for this land, but it would be a bit high if the Cultural Palace paid three million.

Lin Yifeng could accept a price of around two million.

Their main purpose in coming here was to see if they could get the price down to under two million.

Neither Lin Yifeng nor Donglai expected that this old man would raise the price so drastically.

Donglai was clearly flustered by the offer and kept asking Lin Yifeng for help.

Lin Yifeng also took over the conversation and asked questions from the side.

"Old man, this price is obviously too high."

"Three million? To be honest, three million is enough for us to get a piece of land in the city center that's even smaller than yours."

To everyone's surprise, the old man's eyes widened, and he immediately put on airs with Lin Yifeng.

"I'm talking business with your boss, what are you doing interrupting?"

"What do you know, young man?"

"Can the land in the city compare to my cultural center?"

"Why don't you go out and ask around? In Shangdu, everyone knows this is the Cultural Palace."

This completely stunned Donglai.

He didn't expect this guy to be so impulsive as to directly confront Lin Yifeng.

Seeing the other party's arrogance, Lin Yifeng smiled slightly.

He was not surprised by this.

After getting to know him, he could tell that Director Ma didn't have much ability. Otherwise, with so many years of running the cultural palace and such a wide network of connections, he wouldn't have been able to get a job in the municipal government and climb the ranks.

Now the Cultural Palace has fallen into disrepair, and he's still just a mere curator.

It can only be said that this person is not capable enough.

In terms of personality, he is also the kind of person who treats others differently based on their status.

Lin Yifeng did not argue or reason with him.

Instead, the old man started bragging to Donglai.

"These young people nowadays are too restless and impatient."

"I'm not saying this to be rude, but if the railway department forms an arts troupe this year, they'll definitely come to our cultural palace."

"Three million isn't much; I need to find another venue."

"There are five of us under us. After the money is divided, each of us will receive a little over 600,000."

"What can 600,000 yuan do?"

"If I buy a house for 300,000, am I just going to keep 300,000 for retirement?"

These words completely silenced Donglai.

He had seen people who were greedy for money.

But I've never seen anyone with their greed blatantly written on their face.

This old man knew exactly what Pang Donglai needed and wanted to rip them off.
