There was no place like a coffee shop where they could talk at that time, so Wang Yuquan helped move two stools and the two of them sat at the door of the photo studio to talk.
Hong Kang still didn't quite believe Shao Jingque could make the decision. He didn't want to waste time and said directly:
"Little girl, the price I quoted Yongsi last time was already the lowest price, 4,500 yuan, not a cent less. If you can make the decision, I'll sell it to you. If you still want to bargain, then don't waste everyone's time."
Shao Jingque could of course see his nonchalant attitude. There were many people like Hong Kang who judged people by appearance. It was he who underestimated his opponent and suffered losses in the negotiation.
She smiled and said:
"Brother Hong is straightforward, which is exactly what I want. I won't beat around the bush. We sincerely want to buy these three storefronts. The price is two thousand yuan, not a cent more. If you are willing to sell, we will buy it. If not, we won't force it."
What?! Two thousand dollars?!
Hong Kang was stunned, wondering if he had heard it wrong or if the girl had said it wrongly. Did she mean to say five thousand yuan?
If Shao Jingque had said a closer number like four thousand yuan, he might have thought she was trying to bargain.
But Shao Jingque asked for two thousand yuan, and Hong Kang couldn't help but wonder if she was wrong:
"Little girl, did you say it wrong, or did I hear it wrong? Two thousand yuan or five thousand yuan?"
Shao Jingque replied calmly:
"Brother Hong, you heard me right. I said two thousand yuan."
As soon as these words came out, even someone like Hong Kang, who was used to putting on a good show, suddenly changed his expression. Wasn't this just pure ridicule?!
The smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and he stood up and said in a stiff tone:
"Aren't you wasting my time? I have a lot to do every day, I'm busy, I don't have time to joke with you!"
Seeing that he was about to leave, Shao Jingque was not anxious and continued in a gentle tone:
"I know that Brother Hong is a very busy man. It's not easy for him to move his family from the mainland to Hong Kong. He must have been busy preparing the paperwork for leaving, right?"
Hong Kang, who was about to leave, suddenly widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief:
"How did you know my family was moving to Hong Kong? Who told you?"
"I guessed."
Shao Jingque also stood up and said with a frank smile:
"Last time, Yongsi asked you to buy the shop, and you didn't refuse. You quoted a price. Later, he helped me make an appointment with you, and you didn't refuse. It shows that you really do want to sell the shop."
"It just so happens that I've been looking around for suitable storefronts recently, and someone mentioned that your storefronts have also been listed. They heard that the landlord's daughter married well and became a wealthy wife in Hong Kong. It won't be long before she takes you two along to enjoy a happy life."
"That's why I guessed you didn't plan on coming back, so I wanted to get rid of the storefront before leaving."
Shao Jingque didn't tell the truth. There is no such coincidence in the world.
After Rong Yongsi told her that the landlord agreed to meet, she made a special effort to investigate in advance and asked many nearby neighbors to find out all this information.
Trading and fighting are the same thing. Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated!
Hong Kang looked slightly surprised, but after a moment he came to his senses and remained firm:
"Even if your guess is correct, I am planning to sell the shop, but I won't sell it at a low price just to get rid of it quickly. You think you can get a bargain for 2,000 yuan? That's impossible!"
Shao Jingque continued to smile. She just needed to make sure that Hong Kang was really interested in selling the product. As long as she offered a suitable price, the deal would naturally be done.
In her opinion, the right price is two thousand yuan.
"Brother Hong, since you are sincere in selling and I am sincere in buying, then we can talk."
Shao Jingque sat down calmly and made a "please sit down" gesture to Hong Kang with a smile.
Hong Kang, who originally wanted to turn around and leave, was shaken by the inexplicable confidence displayed by Shao Jingque. After hesitating for a few seconds, he actually sat back down.
He wanted to hear what other surprising things Shao Jingque would say. Even if he spoke eloquently, it was impossible for him to lower the price for them by that much!
Although Hong Kang sat down, his attitude remained firm:
"The monthly rent for these three storefronts is 40 yuan, which is 480 yuan a year. You'll get your money back in less than ten years, and then it'll be pure profit. You can even sell them when you stop doing business. 4,500 yuan is a completely fair price, not expensive at all!"
Shao Jingque raised the corners of his mouth, and his smile deepened. He said:
"Brother Hong, let me do the math for you. Let me see if I'm right."
"The current rent for the Yongsi Photo Studio is 20 yuan a month, which is 240 yuan a year. The rent for the two storefronts on the left and right is 10 yuan each, so the total is 240 yuan a year."
"But as far as I know, both storefronts are vacant year-round, and we're not collecting any rent. Even before the renovation, Yongsi Photo Studio was struggling, with even next month's rent delayed. They could close at any time."
"I also learned about the business situation of this store before the photo studio. The surrounding merchants said that this store had changed many businesses, and without exception, they closed down after a period of three months or as short as one month. This shows that this store is indeed not a good port."
"Once the business changes, there will inevitably be a vacancy period. If it changes two or three times a year, it will be vacant for at least three or four months, and the actual time for collecting rent will be even less."
"Based on the current situation, the maximum rental income you can receive over the next ten years is no more than two thousand yuan. This is the most optimistic scenario, assuming there are always tenants."
