"Victory Supermarket?" Xu An looked down at the ruins below again, his eyes full of doubt.

"Hehe!" The real estate agent suddenly chuckled, leaned close to Xu An, and whispered, "This area was being demolished in full swing before, but after the food safety incident at Shengli Supermarket not long ago, it all stopped."

When I returned to the Lijie Real Estate store, the two men from before had already left, and there were two more young men in suits chatting with their backs to the door.

"How's it going? Did you close that deal?"

"That's about it. The person who had the power to speak up wasn't too satisfied with the price and was planning to try and negotiate it down."

"What do they want with this shop?"

"They must have opened a fast food restaurant or a braised food shop. Those two were eating fast food one bite and braised food the next, it was pretty much the same."

"Fast food restaurants are better; you can slack off openly when you eat out."

Cough cough ————

The two hurriedly returned to their desks, sat up straight, and stared intently at their computers, occasionally tapping the keyboard. Their serious expressions even gave Xu Ansheng the illusion that their earlier casual conversation was just his imagination.

The real estate agent found relevant information about the furniture store in the folder and went into a small conference room with Xu An to discuss it in detail.

"The land for the furniture store is designated for commercial use, which costs 1,500 yuan per square meter more than residential land. The current selling price is 4,100 yuan per square meter. The two floors total 424 square meters, making the total price 1,738,400 yuan. Mr. Xu, if you are sincerely interested in buying, I can try to negotiate a discount of 8,400 yuan."

Um

Xu An fell into deep thought. So there's a distinction between commercial and residential land? And the price difference between commercial and residential land is 1,500 yuan per square meter? That adds up to an extra 636,000 yuan. Based on a 30% down payment, he'd need to prepare an extra 190,000 yuan.

I currently have 53,700 yuan in cash, 60,000 yuan remaining from the expo, and a net profit of around 100,000 yuan from the next week's operations. That brings my total to 213,700 yuan, which is still half of the 520,000 yuan down payment for the shop.

Xu An took out his phone, typed a message in the file assistant, and handed the phone to the real estate agent.

The real estate agent stared blankly at Xu An's phone screen, his breathing becoming heavy and erratic. He looked up at Xu An incredulously, his cheeks flushed with excitement, his eyes filled with disbelief and confusion.

Xu An gave him a standard smile and nodded emphatically. Then he put his phone away, typed a message on it, and handed it back to the real estate agent.

The real estate agent's eyes darted around, his teeth clenched, before he finally reached out and took Xu An's phone, typing a single word under the two sentences on it: "Okay."

The first two sentences are:

"If you cut the price by 50,000, I'll give you 10,000 privately; if you cut it by 100,000, I'll give you 30,000. The more you cut, the more you get."

Half the payment will be made on the day of signing, and the remaining balance will be paid upon completion of the signing. The signing date is set for September 20th.
